Echoes at Midnight

Every night at midnight, everyone in Linyuan City forgets the previous day.

Zhou Yan, a night-shift mortician at a funeral home, can read "residual echoes" by touching corpses. He uses this ability to search for his younger sister, Zhou Yao, who disappeared three years ago. But he is the only person in the entire city who remembers her: Zhou Yao was the first line of code in the city's reset System.

Before midnight each day, he receives a ticket stamped 00:00.

On the back, the same message is written:

"Tomorrow at midnight, you will kill me."

He forgot thirty-seven times.

On the thirty-eighth, he decided he wouldn't forget.
