After Li Chun’s parents passed away, he inherited Chun Tian Apartments. He quit his job and survived by collecting rent. Being a landlord made him bored with life, so he started making modifications to the apartment. Using the equipment he got from Xin Lu, he hacked into his renter’s cheap family surveillance system. Every day, he would hide in his bedroom to spy on his renter’s lives. Of all his renters, he liked Cai Meimei the most. She satisfied every imagination he had about the female body.
For the past few days, when Cai Meimei was missing, he was more anxious than anyone else. He had no appetite and gained a temper. He kept cursing the things around him, believing that Cai Meimei had gotten a new boyfriend. Just as he was thinking about how to punish that woman, Cai Meimei returned home. Her body was drenched, and she looked so scared and lost.
“Did she break up with her boyfriend?” Li Chun hid behind his door and listened to the footsteps in the corridor. He imagined the shoes stepping on his body. Once he heard Cai Meimei close her door, he quickly rushed into his bedroom and switched on the hacking device he got from Xin Lu Black Market. Li Chun bit his fingers as he stared at the screen. He wished he could take a bite on Cai Meimei’s body.
The wet clothes dropped to the ground. Finally, the underwear was removed as well. Li Chun saw everything on screen. He lost his mind. He didn’t even care about being discovered and took control of the cameras. He didn’t want to miss even a frame of Cai Meimei.
“When I get to know her routine better, I’ll hide under her bed. No. I’ll hide in her dresser with the clothes covered in her scent!” Li Chun was so excited as the imagined images filled his mind. He took out the pictures he had snapped in secret from the drawer. As he moved to tape the pictures beside the monitor, he suddenly saw Cai Meimei’s body contorting like crazy on the screen. Li Chen’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing, “She… She…”
The human faces fought to surface on Cai Meimei’s body. They all wanted to escape. Li Chun was confused when Cai Meimei jumped at the camera like a centipede. The familiar face was no longer beautiful. It was terrifying.
Li Chun’s phone fell to the ground. He backed away from the monitor. He tripped over his pants that were around his knees. He covered his mouth because he felt like Cai Meimei could hear him from the other side of the screen.
“I don’t see anything…” Li Chun wanted to escape, but he saw Cai Meimei slithering rapidly on the screen. She had already left her home and was coming to his place!
The sound of nails scratching the door was terrifying. Li Chun covered his ears, but the sound still drilled into his mind. Several minutes later, Cai Meimei disappeared from the screen. Li Chun moved back to the computer. He checked all the cameras in the apartment, but he couldn’t find Cai Meimei.
“Where… where is she?” Li Chun suddenly felt a chill. A scary thought appeared in his mind: The only blindspot of the cameras was his room.Li Chun looked up. Cai Meimei was crawling on the ceiling. Scapegoats tried to escape from the woman’s back.
“Don’t come any closer!” The storm swallowed his scream. Li Chun’s body was torn apart by the pairs of hands. The blood splashed on the ground. Soon, the broken body was sewn back together. A scapegoat dissolved in the darkness, and Li Chun stood back up.
His face was dark. Black lines swam at the depths of his eyes. Li Chun touched his face and turned to the mirror. He grumbled, “I look so much like a pervert. I still think my previous identity, Ma Tao, suits me better.”
Cai Meimei crawled through the different rooms in the apartments. Ma Tao got used to moving in Li Chun’s body. He sat before the computer. “There should be many scapegoats and students like me. Similar things are happening all over the city. Ghosts might be hiding in any room.
“We’ll pretend to be humans in the day and search for ingredients at night to build our resentment rooms. If nothing happens, Cai Meimei and I have the chance to become big ghosts.”
In the monitor, Cai Meimei appeared beside the beds of the sleeping tenants. When they woke up, their eyes changed.
“The living spy on the living. Even I won’t stoop to this level.” Ma Tao deleted the immoral videos on Li Chun’s computer. As he was about to close the website, he accidentally discovered a video in his mailbox. The mail was sent after the tragedy exploded. The name of the sender was Save Class 13.
“Class 13? Did my group of bastard friends send a group mail on the internet?” Ma Tao felt like someone from Class 13 was behind this. He opened the video. The video showed someone in Han De Private School’s uniform and a white paper mask. He sat in a dark room. His pupils bounced around nervously. He said in a timid tone.
“After midnight, the real-life horror game will officially begin. You can choose not to believe me, but for the sake of you and your family, I hope you can at least listen to what I have to say.
“First, the ghosts will probably disguise as humans. If you discover someone around you acting strangely, like their personality changing overnight, please do not hesitate and stay away from them!
“Second, please continue to live your life normally. Do not show fear around others. You have to remain normal! The more abnormally you act, the more you’ll grab their attention!
“Third, try not to leave your home at night. They will disguise themselves as humans in the day, but they will feed at night! If you have to leave home at night, please do not return home before dawn, or they might follow you home!
“Fourth, Han Hai will become a giant game venue. Every anomaly is a death game. If you survive the anomaly, you will gain some benefits. However, do not tell anyone what you’ve gained.
“Fifth, do not trust the investigation centre! The wanted Class 13 students know the truth. They are being framed. Helping them will raise your chance of survival!
“Sixth…”
The rules were recited by the people in the video. Ma Tao tilted his head to study the student on screen. The fact that they dared to post this video meant that they were ready to fight the investigation centre.
The investigation centre was trying its best to maintain order, but this poster not only wanted to destroy the existing rules but also build a new one.
“The person knows the truth. Whose face is under the mask? Wang Jie? Liu Yi? Or Gao Ming?” Ma Tao knew how crazy that class was. These were the few stand-outs, but there were a lot of other students who had hidden themselves until the very end.
