After Spending the Night, Everyone Around Me Is Acting Weird

After Spending the Night, Everyone Around Me Is Acting Weird Plot:

Intern reporter Xu Ning spent a night in a dilapidated building in an urban village to chase the hot story of "haunted old buildings." But at dawn, the world changed completely—the grocery store aunt who usually yelled at her for "blocking the way" forced a "warm candy" into her hand, which turned out to be a cold stone when bitten; the pancake stall uncle who always complained about her "taking up space for staking out" added two free eggs, but the "eggs" were made of plastic; even the local dog at the alley mouth that always barked at her brought her notebook, with scribbled "Don't trust" on every page. What's more terrifying is that everyone was imitating her: when she touched her hair, the aunt did too; when she rubbed her eyes, the uncle did too; a passing child stood on tiptoe and mimicked her tone, saying "I'm leaving." When she took out her phone to call the police, the person in the screen was smiling at her—behind her, surrounded by the "aunt," "uncle," and "dog," all with blurry faces but mouths split to the ears: "You can't leave. We've been waiting for you a long time."
