If It Were a Dream

When he was three years old, after a high fever, Ye Kai began to have recurring dreams about a mountain gate. Someone was waiting for him in the fog, but he could never see clearly the words on the door. Many years later, he was transferred to the company's data room due to a project accident. That night, the long-forgotten dream reappeared. When he woke up this time, there was a little more moss between his nails. An old hard drive that was taken away by someone under false pretense, a stone door hidden behind the community wall, and a label with "Yiqi" on it pointed to the address from ten years ago to the place where he had lived for three years. Ye Kai originally just wanted to find out who was using his name to do things. Until he finally walked up the stone steps in his dream, footsteps that did not belong to him sounded behind him. The man in front of the mountain gate said: "Remember this way." But Ye Kai became increasingly suspicious of whether what the other party taught him was the way in or the way back.
