Silence in the Bell

The article is rather dark and depressing This place, Yanyu City, has an evil nature. The rain does not fall from the sky, but only seeps out from the cracks in the ground and the walls, carrying a smell of rust and mold. Achan, an apprentice who works in the "Laoshun Pawnshop" in the city, feels that he is as evil as this poor place - he was born deaf, and the world is as quiet as a cemetery in his ears. Fortunately, this problem of his also comes with some "gifts": his hands can feel out the "meanings" attached to old objects. Warmth, fishy smells, or inexplicable emotions cannot deceive him. Until that rainy evening, a strange man in a gray cloak who was not covered by the rain came to the door. Without saying a word, a thought came directly into Achan's mind: "They... Heard..." And casually threw down a tattered, silent copper bell that was almost falling apart. As soon as the bell fell to the ground, Achan's silent world completely exploded. Grief, despair, and crazy obsession rushed into his mind like a tsunami, almost destroying him on the spot. What's even more weird is that when his finger almost touched the bell, he "heard" an extremely clear sound of water droplets in his head, even though it was too rotten to ring!
