[Urban Cthulhu + Old Object Restoration + Secret Keeper] + [72-Hour Pollution Countdown] + [Chinese Mystery + Obsessive Puzzle Solving]
Wu Xun, a restorer of old objects, can see the memories of the deceased, but if he cannot get rid of his obsession for 72 hours, he will be assimilated.
During the rainy season in Yuzhou, Wu Xun pried open a clock from the Republic of China and saw the memory of the clockmaker being dragged away by gray fog. His left eye instantly went blind, his fingertips were covered with black lines, and a strange text message popped up warning: "Resounding parasitism, assimilation in seven days."
As a restorer of old objects, Wu Xun's family inheritance allows him to touch old objects and read the obsessive memories of the former owners. But this golden finger carries a fatal price: if the reverberation cannot be resolved within 72 hours, he will be contaminated by the mystery and become part of the old things.
The unexpected death of his mother, the mysterious "Forgotten Sect", the "Forgotten Catastrophe" a hundred years ago... All clues point to the old pocket watch on his chest. In order to save himself and pursue the truth, he had to join forces with the hot-blooded policeman and the cold-blooded antique dealer to restore the old objects that carried madness and tenderness.
When the sect gathered three old Japanese-level items and prepared to tear off the seal at the Liberation Monument, Wu Xun clenched the pocket watch in his hand. This time, what he wants to repair is the future of the entire city.
