Book of All Souls

About This Novel

I was five years old when my mother died. Dad said she died of illness. But three years ago, before he died, he held me tightly and said, "Don't go to the ghost market pawn shop to find your mother." That night, I went. The yellow sand paved the road, the black lamp served as a guide, the copper bell rang thirteen times, and the door opened. Sitting behind the counter is my grandfather who hanged himself three years ago. He opened a black leather gold book and said, "Your mother didn't die of illness, she took her 'name' in exchange for your life." "Twenty years in the name, but if the redemption is overdue, the soul will return to the pawnshop and be a slave forever." I lowered my head, my heart felt hot-- The jade pendant I have worn since childhood has "0404" engraved on the back. It's exactly the same as the ticket number. I started digging her grave. There were no bones, only a half-burned red wedding dress. In the pocket, there was a piece of paper with dad's handwriting: "Ayuan, I'm sorry, I chose my son." I finally understand-- She was not destined to die, but her name was "cut off". No one remembers her name. If she cannot be called famous when she is sacrificed, her soul will not be able to return home. And every time I shout "Lin Xiaoman", The name under the skin fades a little more. I almost forgot what she looked like. Three quarters after midnight, there are three days left. I'm going to the ghost market to redeem her. But grandpa said: "You're not here to redeem her." "You are here to be the 'next gatekeeper'." --The name is taken for granted, and all the souls are returned. Every time you say "mother", It may have been cut off long ago.
