Ground Zero Apartment

No. 44 Yong'an Road, Qingshan District, is a six-story gray-white building with seven flights of stairs. Here, outside the window is a projection of memory, where food is safe but reflections are deadly, where dead former residents hand-write the rules you must abide by at this moment. Room No. 441 Is Chen Mo's prison and the altar reserved for him twenty years ago. He originally just wanted to survive, but the moment he signed his real name "Return", he triggered the apartment's deepest fear - he was not the prey, but the key; not the resident, but the "door" the apartment was struggling to find. The mother set fire to herself not to die, but to lock the door; the grandmother disappeared not to escape, but to cover the door. And now, the door is open. Neighbor No. 440 Bai Shu, who claims to have bones stuck in the gears of the apartment, can travel between mirrors and whispers "the rules are written by humans"; the guide Lin Wan, who is about to return to zero after three years, warned him "don't trust Bai Shu for more than three seconds." The only weapon Chen Mo can hold is the curse he got in exchange for his real name - Yan Ling. In the apartment, the lies that are believed are the truth, and every lie that comes true will permanently deprive him of his warmth as a "human being". When the assembly bell rang, when the administrator showed an inhuman smile, when the former resident of No. 441 Hung upside down from the vent and looked at him - Chen Mo finally saw the ultimate truth of the apartment: it never killed people, it just turned the residents into new rules, always running and always hungry. And now that the "door" is open, the thing behind the door is waiting for him to invite it in personally.
