The clock tower in the City of Fog holds secrets time has forgotten. Seventeen years ago, a bizarre accident claimed the lives of seven children and took Li Xingyuan with them. His son, Li Su, is a forensic pathologist haunted by those shattered memories. Then a body appears. Beneath its seventh rib is a bronze gear that has been turning for seventeen years, only to stop at that very moment. Engraved on its surface is “7-17,” a number like a key unlocking the door to the past. And in his left ear, he can faintly hear gears meshing, as if whispering secrets no one was meant to know.
The truth is more brutal than he imagined. This is a puzzle spanning time, where every turn of a gear could change the course of fate. Li Su must face his past, unravel the mysteries of time, and find the hidden seventh gear. The truth may be inside his own body, waiting to be awakened.
