About This Novel

Eight million people disappear mysteriously every year around the world. Official file notes: Lost, accidental, lost contact, voluntarily left home. I am the only one who knows that none of the disappearances are accidental. My name is Chen Mo. I have been in the industry for ten years, specializing in missing and deceased cases that have been closed by the police and forgotten by the world. I can see everyone's "missing countdown"-- The pale numbers beating above the heads of passers-by are the remaining time they have left to completely evaporate from the human world. Convenience store night shift clerk: 03:17. A girl walking alone after school: 19:42. Famous rich man: 00:09. At first I thought I could save people. Until I save the first person whose countdown reaches zero. He didn't disappear. He becomes the new missing person, hiding in the shadows of the city and hunting for the living. I finally understand the ultimate rules of the world: If someone goes missing, someone must replace him. All the people who disappeared out of thin air were not dead. They just changed their way of living around us. When the missing people in the whole city quietly return to their places, when the streets and alleys are filled with substitutes. My only way to survive is to never become the next missing person.
