Exam Room Number Six

Ensemble Cast + Infinite Flow

When Bai Lin wakes up, he discovers that he has become the sixth examinee in an exam hall.

There are no teachers or test papers here, only one cold rule after another:

Don't look back. Don't cry. Don't forget. And don't leave alive.

He thinks he's simply trapped in a bizarre exam, until he steps on melting sugar frosting and smells a sweetness fermenting in a pool of blood. Only then does he slowly remember:

The people who once stayed by his side never truly left.

Zhu Mianshuang turned herself into sugar so that he could still find his way home whenever he tasted sweetness;

Shang Yejin stitched his life together with red thread, yet laughed and said that red thread couldn't sew his mouth shut;

Gu Yejin shifted the gun's aim by a centimeter, trading one "accidental miss" for his survival;

Ye Zhihan silently walked into the snowy wasteland, leaving the last knife for Bai Lin.

They died before the rules could claim them, but hid their names in candy wrappers, red thread, gunshots, and knife marks, waiting for Bai Lin to find them again, one step at a time.

But the rules say that the sixth examinee must be erased.

And more cruel than death is that those who live will one day forget.

Bai Lin clenches the sweetness left in his palm and pushes open one door after another.

He wants to know what this exam is really testing.

He also wants to remember, one by one, the people the rules took from him.

As long as he remembers them, they haven't truly died.
