Bell Embers

The instance opens, the hourglass counts down. Seven people in the room. Each round when the lights go out, the ghost touches a living person. A vote eliminates someone, and the eliminated turn into a pile of cold ash. Shen Yan carries an overdue payment notice in his pocket, Su Wan holds a silver bell with an inscription. When the bell rings, it stops; when the bell dies, it remains; when people live, the bell is empty. Elimination is not death, and the ghost will not disappear with the vote. It can transfer and hide among the crowd. Every vote cast carries an unknown penalty. When ash reassembles from the ground into a human form, everyone must re-identify—whether the person beside them is human or ghost. An inescapable轮回 game, lies hidden in everyone's eyes. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Bell Embers — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
