When he woke up, there was a body lying next to him with a knife in his hand. I didn't recognize the deceased, I didn't recognize the room, I didn't even recognize the unfamiliar face in the mirror.
The only clue is a note: "You are the keeper and he is the prey. Kill him. Run away."
On the way to escape, I met an old woman holding an oil lamp. She said that eight people's lives were hidden in that lamp, as well as my past. She said there was a person in the lamp who looked exactly like me.
I stared at the dancing flames, and a face slowly emerged in the flames...
The face said: "You are here, I have been waiting for you for three years."
"Who are you?"
"I am the real Yu Yanning, you are just my memory."
Who am I? What truth is sealed in that lamp? Who are the people who are chasing me trying to silence me?
A suspenseful journey about memory, identity and return. The lights are on and someone is waiting for you.
This night, nine "things" will glow faintly at the same time. One person from each of the nine households gathered in the ancestral hall in the center of the town with their own "things". In turn, they will tell something about the thing they protect that they have never told anyone - not true or false, but "never told".
Once every seven years, nine families, nine stories, nine questions.
It has been repeated for three hundred years.
No one knows why it was done in the first place, and no one knows where it will lead. But every generation is doing it, because if they don't do it, they are afraid that "things" will completely forget them, and they will also completely forget "things". At that time, they will still be "thing keepers"
