About This Novel
On the day of frost in 2023, the gold-plated hands of Jiangjia's century-old clock tower stopped at 14:07. When the maintenance worker opened the main gearbox, what came out was not engine oil but stinking blood-eight skeletons arranged in a radial pattern wearing clothes from different eras, and the one in the center wore a wedding ring issued in 2016. Chen Yan stood in front of the gearbox and took off his sunglasses on his left eye, his light gray pupils passing through countless intertwined time afterimages: A woman in a cheongsam was strangled with a wire under the moonlight in 1943 A man wearing a good shirt was hit in the head with an iron cone in 1978 Young man wearing Bluetooth headset injects air into heart in 2022 ... "Eight murders spanning eighty years." Chen Yan's fingertips traced the cutting marks on the skull's cervical spine, "but all the wounds were made using the same backhand knife method."
