"Exploring a haunted house is a sacrificial ritual."
"The souls of the sacrificed will be forever trapped in Congyun Hotel, becoming a part of the hotel and its ghost stories, which is also the source of the lady's strength."
"The sacrificed will be forever forgotten; when dawn arrives, those who are alive will have the chance to leave."
Tang Qianqian carefully read the small print on the back of the note, which detailed that the so-called haunted house exploration was in fact a sacrificial ritual. The existence of the sacrificed would be completely erased, never to appear on missing persons notices anywhere.
That pair of young lovers were the exception.
They were the ultimate winners of the sacrificial ritual, originally granted the right to leave Congyun Hotel at dawn; however, they did not stop there.
Somehow they found the staircase leading to the fifth floor, where the lady resided.
