Shadow Ruins: At Midnight, Someone Outside Is Calling My Name

Zhou Enjie rents an old house on Pingfeng Old Street while preparing for his exams, and soon discovers the street's eerie rules. At midnight, mist from the Shadow Ruins spreads, and familiar voices call his name from outside the door.

The voices imitate his neighbors and friends, taking on the tones of those dear to him in his memories. They do not bang on the door or howl. They use memories as bait. If he answers or opens the iron gate, the Shadow Ruins will devour him.

With the help of notes left behind by Zhao Yu, who lived there before him, Zhou Enjie learns to use washing powder to repel the creatures in the mist and holds the line at his front door. But strange happenings gradually seep into daylight, and his memories become increasingly confused.

He begins to lose track: Which memories are real? Are the figures outside the door only illusions? And is the person trapped inside the house still the person he used to be? Every secret is entwined with the old parasol tree on the street.
