The Elevator

I enter the elevator to go to school. As it rises, I realize I'll never be able to go to school again.

On Monday morning, urged by my mother, I absent-mindedly enter the elevator to go to school. After the doors close, being still sleepy, I forget to press the button for the first floor. As the elevator continues to rise, I realize my mistake and am about to press the first floor button when the elevator suddenly stops. The doors slowly open, and I see a dead girl lying in a pool of blood, with a man cleaning up the scene... The man hears the noise and suddenly turns to look at me, his eyes fixed on my hand. Startled, I frantically press the door close button. Just as the elevator is about to close, a blood-covered hand reaches in. I'll never be able to go to school again because I'm about to be killed by the murderer. (The elevator was going up because the girl had pressed the button for help before being killed.)

The elevator took me to a floor I didn't intend to go

The cabin door on the mountaintop opens to a cliff. A man had managed to climb up with great difficulty and knocked on the door for help. When the door opened, he was pushed back down, falling from the mountaintop to his death.

The daughter refused to go to school for some reason. In June, she became obsessed with a popular TV series. By December, she had joined the fan club of the show's star, Xiao Zhan. During this time, she was acting as an online 'water army' for Xiao Zhan. In March 2020, the AO3 website was reported and blocked. In May, Xiao Zhan faced widespread boycott from netizens, and investors began to reconsider their involvement. In June, a digital album was released, and the daughter stole money from home to buy it. As the pandemic eased, she continued to participate in fan activities but gradually began to see its true nature. In February 2021, Xiao Zhan sued his 'haters'. In August, he won the case, and fans were fined 30,000 yuan. The parent in the story then grounded their daughter completely.

Suddenly feeling something was off, I run to my balcony and indeed, the girl is gone, replaced by police tape. I feel sick and can't bring myself to step onto the balcony anymore.

He bought a batch of discounted snacks at a small shop, feeling he got a good deal and secretly pleased. The next day, watching the news, he was terrified.

He had bought snacks from this store once before and felt the price was quite high, thinking the shopkeeper's wife had overcharged him. The next time he went, a man was minding the store. He mentioned that the shopkeeper's wife might have miscalculated last time and overcharged him, so the man said he'd give him a discount this time to make up for it. He felt he had gotten a bargain and was happy. The next day, watching the news, he learned that the shop owners, a married couple, had been murdered. The criminal, according to the news, needed money and randomly robbed a small shop, then killed to eliminate witnesses. After the murders, the killer posed as the shopkeeper to continue selling.

It was a beautiful painting, the man in it had distinct features and looked lifelike. The next day when I saw the painting again, my scalp tingled, and I couldn't praise it anymore.

I stayed in a run-down small hotel at night. When I entered the room, the light was broken, and the room was very dim. There was a painting opposite the bed of a man with distinct features, looking so lifelike, just like the Mona Lisa. I felt like the person in the painting was always looking at me. Early the next morning, when it was bright, I realized that what I thought was a painting was actually a window. A man had been standing outside the window watching me all night, and because the light was too dim, I had mistaken him and the window frame for a painting.

I'm counting, and he's counting too. I'm terrified.

I live in a high-rise building. Today, out of boredom, I was looking out the window when I accidentally witnessed a crime in the opposite building. A man seemed to have stabbed someone to death. I quickly took out my phone to call the police. The police asked which floor the incident occurred on, so I started counting the floors to the man's location. When I counted to his floor, I realized the man had noticed me and was counting the floors to my location, holding a bloody knife and showing a sinister smile!

Eyesight

That day, disaster struck, and I, along with everyone on Earth, became blind. Two years later, I suddenly regained my sight. Just as I was about to share this news with everyone, I saw that sentence. I covered my mouth tightly.

This disaster changed everything. In this world of darkness, blind people became the so-called 'normal people'. They formed a new government and secret organizations, secretly viewing those who could see as heretics, using them for dissection and research. Over the two years, some people gradually regained their sight, but under the new government's rule, anyone who said they could see would be immediately arrested secretly. To save newly sighted individuals, those who had luckily escaped wrote 'Don't tell them you can see' in many places, hoping that those who regained sight later would see it and avoid capture.

Ah, so that's what it is...

Your mother is doing square dancing. Your father thought she was having an affair. The money transfers were for buying team dance costumes, and the hand-waving was dance practice. To avoid disturbing neighbors, all the square-dancing aunties wear headphones and dance silently, making it look like some mysterious ritual.

Those of us who survived, in order to continue living, used the flesh of our dead companions as bait to catch fish. Days passed, and we were finally rescued. Because seeing fish always reminds me of using our dead companions' flesh as bait, since then, I feel sick and disgusted when I see fish. I'm afraid to see fish every time thenafter.

At her home, I see several women chained up, with a fierce-looking, ugly brute standing nearby. The kindergarten child suddenly shows a sinister smile unfit for her age... It turns out she's not just five, but twenty-five years old, suffering from a condition that prevents her from growing. The brute is her brother. She lures kindergarten teachers like us to their home to be imprisoned, all to find women for her brother... And her 'four-year-old mother' is actually a woman who has been trapped there for four years...

There were two dwarfs in the circus, but now the circus only wanted to keep one. Because the blind dwarf was shorter, he was chosen to stay.

Should you call the police? What happened?

Meeting the Parents

My boyfriend and I are alumni. He's three years my senior and about to graduate. We feel a strong connection and fell in love at first sight. We agreed to marry as soon as I reach the legal age. As National Day approaches, he suggests I meet his parents during the holiday. I happily agree. However, when his parents see my face, they are shocked and strongly oppose our relationship. Why?

This is set in the early days of China's reform and opening-up, during the one-child policy era. I was an 'extra' child. To keep their jobs, my parents sent me to be raised by distant relatives in the countryside and changed my surname. They've been providing financial support to the relatives. They were happy when I got into this university and, nearing retirement, were considering reconnecting with me. Unexpectedly, their children had fallen in love, resulting in a tragic situation of our unexpected incest.

The parents were shocked because their son's girlfriend is me

May 2020: My daughter's condition has worsened. She doesn't sleep at night and won't talk to me.
June 2020: Our household expenses seem unusually high lately. Hmm... am I scatterbrained?
October 2020: My daughter goes out now that the pandemic has eased. She seems to have more friends. That's great.
February 2021: I received a lawyer's letter with my daughter's name on it. How can this be?!
August 2021: I've grounded my daughter.

The daughter refused to go to school for some reason. In June, she became obsessed with a popular TV series. By December, she had joined the fan club of the show's star, Xiao Zhan. During this time, she was acting as an online 'water army' for Xiao Zhan. In March 2020, the AO3 website was reported and blocked. In May, Xiao Zhan faced widespread boycott from netizens, and investors began to reconsider their involvement. In June, a digital album was released, and the daughter stole money from home to buy it. As the pandemic eased, she continued to participate in fan activities but gradually began to see its true nature. In February 2021, Xiao Zhan sued his 'haters'. In August, he won the case, and fans were fined 30,000 yuan. The parent in the story then grounded their daughter completely.

The daughter did something bad using the internet


The Elevator

I enter the elevator to go to school. As it rises, I realize I'll never be able to go to school again.

On Monday morning, urged by my mother, I absent-mindedly enter the elevator to go to school. After the doors close, being still sleepy, I forget to press the button for the first floor. As the elevator continues to rise, I realize my mistake and am about to press the first floor button when the elevator suddenly stops. The doors slowly open, and I see a dead girl lying in a pool of blood, with a man cleaning up the scene... The man hears the noise and suddenly turns to look at me, his eyes fixed on my hand. Startled, I frantically press the door close button. Just as the elevator is about to close, a blood-covered hand reaches in. I'll never be able to go to school again because I'm about to be killed by the murderer. (The elevator was going up because the girl had pressed the button for help before being killed.)

Ah, so that's what it is...

I'm a kindergarten teacher. While teaching, I noticed a child who always counted incorrectly. While others count 1234567, she says 1237. When I try to teach her the correct way, she says what I'm teaching is different from what her mother taught her. Puzzled, I propose a home visit, but she takes me to a hospital. It turns out her mother has a heart condition and doesn't have long to live. It's currently March, and her daughter's birthday is in July.

He bought a batch of discounted snacks at a small shop, feeling he got a good deal and secretly pleased. The next day, watching the news, he was terrified.

He had bought snacks from this store once before and felt the price was quite high, thinking the shopkeeper's wife had overcharged him. The next time he went, a man was minding the store. He mentioned that the shopkeeper's wife might have miscalculated last time and overcharged him, so the man said he'd give him a discount this time to make up for it. He felt he had gotten a bargain and was happy. The next day, watching the news, he learned that the shop owners, a married couple, had been murdered. The criminal, according to the news, needed money and randomly robbed a small shop, then killed to eliminate witnesses. After the murders, the killer posed as the shopkeeper to continue selling.

I used to be a sailor. Once when we were at sea, for some reason, my sailor companions died one after another. Those of us who survived, in order to continue living, used the flesh of our dead companions as bait to catch fish. Days passed, and we were finally rescued. Because seeing fish always reminds me of using our dead companions' flesh as bait, since then, I feel sick and disgusted when I see fish. I'm afraid to see fish every time thenafter.


The Discounted Snacks

His being scared is related to the snacks themselves

A Painting

It was a beautiful painting, the man in it had distinct features and looked lifelike. The next day when I saw the painting again, my scalp tingled, and I couldn't praise it anymore.

I stayed in a run-down small hotel at night. When I entered the room, the light was broken, and the room was very dim. There was a painting opposite the bed of a man with distinct features, looking so lifelike, just like the Mona Lisa. I felt like the person in the painting was always looking at me. Early the next morning, when it was bright, I realized that what I thought was a painting was actually a window. A man had been standing outside the window watching me all night, and because the light was too dim, I had mistaken him and the window frame for a painting.

The thing in the painting is a real human face

The man has a superpower to foresee people's ages at death, but he can't see his own. After boarding the train, he notices that everyone seems to be about the same age as their death age. Finding this strange, he tests his theory by asking a few people, discovering they will all die this year.

Eyesight

That day, disaster struck, and I, along with everyone on Earth, became blind. Two years later, I suddenly regained my sight. Just as I was about to share this news with everyone, I saw that sentence. I covered my mouth tightly.

This disaster changed everything. In this world of darkness, blind people became the so-called 'normal people'. They formed a new government and secret organizations, secretly viewing those who could see as heretics, using them for dissection and research. Over the two years, some people gradually regained their sight, but under the new government's rule, anyone who said they could see would be immediately arrested secretly. To save newly sighted individuals, those who had luckily escaped wrote 'Don't tell them you can see' in many places, hoping that those who regained sight later would see it and avoid capture.

I am considered an anomaly by the blind government

My mother was having an affair with my teacher. They would meet whenever my father was away. The little red dress was a signal to the teacher, indicating that my father wouldn't be home that night. That day, my mother was busy, so my sister chose the red dress for me. The teacher saw it and came to our house thinking my father was away, but he was caught by my father, who then killed him.

The 18th Floor

Xiaoming lives on the 18th floor. Sometimes when he returns home, he takes the elevator directly to the 18th floor, but other times he goes to the 15th floor and walks up. Why?

Xiaoming is still a kid, unable to reach the 18th-floor-button. However, when he's carrying an umbrella, he can use it to press the button.

Half a Matchstick

A man's body is found in the desert, holding half a matchstick. His luggage is found nearby. It's known that he died from a fall. Please deduce what happened.

He was on a hot air balloon tour in the desert with a group. Halfway through, the balloon ran out of fuel. To keep flying, they threw out all their luggage, but it wasn't enough. They decided to draw lots using matchsticks - whoever drew the short one would be thrown off. He drew the short matchstick and was pushed out, falling to his death.


Fish

I used to be a sailor, but now I feel sick and shake when I see fish. I'm always afraid to see fish.

I used to be a sailor. Once when we were at sea, for some reason, my sailor companions died one after another. Those of us who survived, in order to continue living, used the flesh of our dead companions as bait to catch fish. Days passed, and we were finally rescued. Because seeing fish always reminds me of using our dead companions' flesh as bait, since then, I feel sick and disgusted when I see fish. I'm afraid to see fish every time thenafter.


The Little Red Dress


The Seaweed

A man goes for a walk by the river, chats with a fisherman, and then jumps into the river to commit suicide after the fisherman tells him something.

Years ago, a couple was playing by the river when the girl accidentally fell in. The boy jumped in to save her, but due to the strong current, he only managed to grab what he thought was seaweed. He couldn't save her. Years later, he returns to the river and talks to a fisherman. The fisherman tells him there has never been any seaweed in this fast-flowing river. The man realizes what he grabbed was actually the girl's hair, and overcome with grief, he jumps into the river.

The fisherman told the boy some information


Exchanging Photos

I exchange photos with an online friend I've known for a short time. After seeing his photo, I break out in a cold sweat.

I recently met a new online friend, and we got along well. One day, I suggested exchanging photos to see what each other looked like. After I sent my photo, he waited a while and then sent back the same photo of me. I found it strange, but when I looked closely, I noticed a foot sticking out from under the bed in the photo. This online friend was hiding in my room.

I feel scared and it's related to the content of his photo


The Woman in the Pink Dress

Your new neighbor is a young man living alone. One day, returning home after a late-night snack, you see a woman with long hair, wearing a pink dress and heavy makeup, enter your neighbor's apartment. Late at night, you hear arguing and things being thrown, which is particularly jarring in the quiet hallway. The next day, you see a shredded pink dress and a bunch of long hair in the garbage bag outside your neighbor's door. When you ask your neighbor about it, he stammers and refuses to explain... Should you call the police? What happened?

Your neighbor is a man with a cross-dressing fetish, which is why he lives alone. His family doesn't know about this and keeps pressuring him to get married, so he moved out of his parents' home. That day, he returned home after cross-dressing and you saw him. Unexpectedly, his mother was waiting for him at home. Seeing her son in women's clothing, they had a big argument, and his mother cut up his pink dress and wig. This is what actually happened.

There were others at the neighbor's house that night


The Midnight Train

Five minutes before midnight, a man boards a train. He looks strange and starts asking passengers their ages. 'Ma'am, are you 28?' 'How did you know?' 'Sir, are you 55?' 'Yes.' He correctly guesses everyone's age. 'Granny, are you 69?' 'Yes, I'll be 70 in 5 minutes.' Hearing this, the man turns pale.

The man has a superpower to foresee people's ages at death, but he can't see his own. After boarding the train, he notices that everyone seems to be about the same age as their death age. Finding this strange, he tests his theory by asking a few people, discovering they will all die this year. When the grandmother says she is 69 and she'll be 70 in 5 minutes, he realizes the train will have an accident within 5 minutes, killing everyone on board.


1237

A kindergarten child always counts '1,2,3,7', skipping '4,5,6'. When I correct her, she says her mother taught her this way. Puzzled, I propose a home visit. After the visit, I also tell her it's '1,2,3,7'.

I'm a kindergarten teacher. While teaching, I noticed a child who always counted incorrectly. While others count 1234567, she says 1237. When I try to teach her the correct way, she says what I'm teaching is different from what her mother taught her. Puzzled, I propose a home visit, but she takes me to a hospital. It turns out her mother has a heart condition and doesn't have long to live. It's currently March, and her daughter's birthday is in July. To be able to celebrate her daughter's last birthday with her, the mother created this white lie. Moved by this, I also tell her that 7 indeed comes after 3, just like her mother said.

The News

A man returns home from work, turns on the TV to watch the news, and faints.

The man works at a haunted house attraction and is responsible for cleaning up after it closes. There are many prop corpses in the haunted house. While cleaning, he saw a very realistic prop corpse. He didn't think much of it, just admiring the craftsmanship of it while cleaning. After finishing work and returning home, he turned on the TV to watch the news. The news reported a missing person case and showed a photo of the missing person - it was the 'prop' he had seen in the haunted house. He fainted from shock.

The Diary

February 2019: My daughter stopped going to school. I can't persuade her.
June 2019: My daughter stares at the TV and computer all day. I'm worried she'll damage her eyes.
December 2019: My daughter seems a bit more cheerful. I see her often voice chatting with friends.
March 2020: My daughter smiled, saying she did something great. I'm happy too.
May 2020: My daughter's condition has worsened. She doesn't sleep at night and won't talk to me.
June 2020: Our household expenses seem unusually high lately. Hmm... am I scatterbrained?
October 2020: My daughter goes out now that the pandemic has eased. She seems to have more friends. That's great.
February 2021: I received a lawyer's letter with my daughter's name on it. How can this be?!
August 2021: I've grounded my daughter.

The daughter refused to go to school for some reason. In June, she became obsessed with a popular TV series. By December, she had joined the fan club of the show's star, Xiao Zhan. During this time, she was acting as an online 'water army' for Xiao Zhan. In March 2020, the AO3 website was reported and blocked. In May, Xiao Zhan faced widespread boycott from netizens, and investors began to reconsider their involvement. In June, a digital album was released, and the daughter stole money from home to buy it. As the pandemic eased, she continued to participate in fan activities but gradually began to see its true nature. In February 2021, Xiao Zhan sued his 'haters'. In August, he won the case, and fans were fined 30,000 yuan. The parent in the story then grounded their daughter completely.


The Circus

A blind dwarf who works at a circus is found dead in his home, surrounded by wood shavings. What happened?

There were two dwarfs in the circus, but now the circus only wanted to keep one. Because the blind dwarf was shorter, he was chosen to stay. The other dwarf sawed off a portion of all the blind dwarf's furniture, making him think he had grown taller. Realizing he would lose his livelihood, the blind dwarf committed suicide.


The Elevator

I enter the elevator to go to school. As it rises, I realize I'll never be able to go to school again.

On Monday morning, urged by my mother, I absent-mindedly enter the elevator to go to school. After the doors close, being still sleepy, I forget to press the button for the first floor. As the elevator continues to rise, I realize my mistake and am about to press the first floor button when the elevator suddenly stops. The doors slowly open, and I see a dead girl lying in a pool of blood, with a man cleaning up the scene... The man hears the noise and suddenly turns to look at me, his eyes fixed on my hand. Startled, I frantically press the door close button. Just as the elevator is about to close, a blood-covered hand reaches in. I'll never be able to go to school again because I'm about to be killed by the murderer. (The elevator was going up because the girl had pressed the button for help before being killed.)


The High Heels

A lady buys a pair of red high heels from a shoe store. These heels foreshadow her death that night.

The lady is a performer in a circus troupe. That day, she bought a pair of red high heels. That night, she wore these heels for her performance. Her act involved balancing an apple on her head while another male performer threw a knife at the apple. However, because her new high heels were a few centimeters taller than what she usually wore, the male performer, who hadn't adjusted for this, accidentally threw a knife into her head.

The high heels caused a change in height


The Tunnel

A man takes a train to a neighboring town for medical treatment. After the treatment, he's completely cured. On the way back, as the train passes through a tunnel, the man jumps off to commit suicide. Why?

His illness was an eye disease that had left him completely blind. After the treatment, his eyesight was restored. When the train entered the tunnel, the sudden darkness made him think he had gone blind again, causing him to panic and jump off the train in despair.


Eyesight

That day, disaster struck, and I, along with everyone on Earth, became blind. Two years later, I suddenly regained my sight. Just as I was about to share this news with everyone, I saw that sentence. I covered my mouth tightly.

This disaster changed everything. In this world of darkness, blind people became the so-called 'normal people'. They formed a new government and secret organizations, secretly viewing those who could see as heretics, using them for dissection and research. Over the two years, some people gradually regained their sight, but under the new government's rule, anyone who said they could see would be immediately arrested secretly. To save newly sighted individuals, those who had luckily escaped wrote 'Don't tell them you can see' in many places, hoping that those who regained sight later would see it and avoid capture.

The words I saw were written by a blind person


Meeting the Parents

My boyfriend and I are alumni. He's three years my senior and about to graduate. We feel a strong connection and fell in love at first sight. We agreed to marry as soon as I reach the legal age. As National Day approaches, he suggests I meet his parents during the holiday. I happily agree. However, when his parents see my face, they are shocked and strongly oppose our relationship. Why?

This is set in the early days of China's reform and opening-up, during the one-child policy era. I was an 'extra' child. To keep their jobs, my parents sent me to be raised by distant relatives in the countryside and changed my surname. They've been providing financial support to the relatives. They were happy when I got into this university and, nearing retirement, were considering reconnecting with me. Unexpectedly, their children had fallen in love, resulting in a tragic situation of our unexpected incest.

His companions cooked his wife's flesh into a soup and tricked him into eating it, claiming it was turtle soup. Later, he was rescued by a passing ship. Today, when he tasted real turtle soup, he realized what he had eaten back then was his wife's flesh. Overwhelmed with remorse, he took his own life with a gun.

This soup tastes different from the human flesh he ate before

It turns out she's not just five, but twenty-five years old, suffering from a condition that prevents her from growing. The brute is her brother.

Counting

I'm counting, and he's counting too. I'm terrified.

I live in a high-rise building. Today, out of boredom, I was looking out the window when I accidentally witnessed a crime in the opposite building. A man seemed to have stabbed someone to death. I quickly took out my phone to call the police. The police asked which floor the incident occurred on, so I started counting the floors to the man's location. When I counted to his floor, I realized the man had noticed me and was counting the floors to my location, holding a bloody knife and showing a sinister smile!

It's a death game similar to Russian roulette
