Chapter 9 Corner Ticket

On the third day after his death, Zhou Xu found that his name was disappearing from the roster. It wasn't crossed out, it was erased stroke by stroke by something. With every brushstroke, one less person in the world remembers him. The old dead man told him: If he finds his murderer within thirty days, he can enter the stream and stay in the world. Can't be found, completely gone. Zhou Xu chose to go back to the alley where he died. Then he found the first piece of paper, with his name written on it, called "Jiao Piao." The second note was a message left to him by a man named Shen Yu. "She waited where he was crying." And inside the wall of that alley is a girl who has been missing for twenty-nine years. She had been waiting for someone to find her. A play has begun. He is the actor on the stage and the audience in the audience. And the thing who kept rubbing his name was sitting in the first row of the auditorium, waiting to see how he would act. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
