Without thinking too much, I opened the box, and there were screams coming from inside. The screams of women and children mixed together, and I immediately dropped the box, covering my ears.

It was too noisy, giving me a headache. The sharp voices seemed to drill into my head!

Everything finally quieted down and turned into a familiar yet chilling voice.

"Brother, what happened to you?"

That was... Liu Lin's voice?

What could be scarier than seeing a brother who had been dead for several days standing in front of you?

I was stunned, and he even patted my face.

This hand was warm!

Am I going crazy, or is this world crazy?

"What's wrong with you? You look so pale," Liu Lin looked puzzled.

I pinched my face, it hurt! It wasn't a dream! So I gathered courage and pinched his face, and Liu Lin jumped in pain.

How is this possible?

I was getting confused. Liu Lin grabbed me and said, "You scared me. What's the matter with this box? How come you almost passed out when you opened it, but I don't feel anything?"

From Liu Lin's description, we both experienced the same thing, but there were puzzling differences.

He said that I had always been the one to sleep in haunted houses, and he had been begging me for a long time, so this time I brought him along.

As a result, the two of us encountered strange rules and were trapped here.

I seemed to have entered a parallel world through that box. Here, our roles changed, and he hadn't died either.

"It's already the fourth day, and we still haven't found any solutions. Can they really let us out safely on the seventh day?" Liu Lin complained.

I walked around the room and was surprised to find that the furnishings inside had changed. There were subtle differences, such as the orientation of the windows and the positions of the rooms.

In the living room, there was actually a woman sitting there. In front of her were overturned dishes, and there was a little boy tugging at her clothes.

But the woman seemed to not see him at all and completely ignored the child.

After a while, the woman said something to the child and gave her a fifty yuan bill.

The child happily went out, and the woman silently cleaned up the dishes, then went to the room to change clothes and put on makeup.

It's too strange, what is this again?

After the little boy came back, he handed a medicine bottle to the woman.

When I saw the woman about to open the box and take the medicine, for some reason, I thought of those lines of blood: "Don't take the medicine."

Unable to resist, I rushed forward and knocked the woman's medicine bottle out of her hand.

The white pills scattered all over the floor, and the woman slowly turned her head. Her face was covered in tears and blood, almost making my heart stop, and the screams started again.

Everything turned into a dazzling white light. I couldn't open my eyes, and my head ached.

I came back again. The box was on the ground, but there was no Liu Lin, no woman, no child, only myself here.
