[When I was working the night shift at the funeral parlor, I received a paper-bound cell phone from my mother. The screen saver was the date of my death three days later—until a text message with blood text popped up: "Want to survive? Go to the morgue on the third floor to find the woman in the red wedding dress to sign a contract."]
Lin Yan crushed the bloody remaining pages of the Book of Life and Death, only to discover that he had been included in the "Soul Pawn Shop"'s centuries-old bet. In the dungeon of Yongye Middle School, he exchanged his fear for night vision, but saw on the surveillance camera that the head teacher stuffed the students' souls into an old-fashioned projector; in the Cyber Cemetery, he bid the memory of his father's domestic violence for one million soul points. The moment the bidder took off his hood, the same old scar as his mother's was revealed.
The system refreshes the "Emotional Debt List" every 24 hours: "Taste" and "Pain" have been mortgaged, and the next transaction requires "First Love Memory" to exchange for the weakness of the dungeon BOSS. When he tore off the NPC's school uniform in the 47th dungeon and saw the same pawnshop brand on the other person's neck as his own, the mission panel suddenly flashed red:
[Original soul resonance detected! At the scene of the car accident on April 3, 1999, half of the "Book of Life and Death" was buried under your mother's body——]
[Warm reminder: There are still 3 transactions left before the soul becomes transparent. Do you want to mortgage "Mother's Smile" now in exchange for access to the hidden copy of the funeral home?
He stared at his increasingly transparent palms and suddenly remembered what the woman in red wedding dress said in his ear when he signed the contract for the first time: "Xiao Yan, do you remember that the day you were born happened to be the seventh day of my life?"
