This work is based on suspense reasoning, with "time guardianship" and "family inheritance" as its core. It tells the story of detective Lin Mo, who uncovers the truth about his father's death in the line of duty and family secrets due to a bizarre murder case. The strange clock at the crime scene, the seven-minute slow time, and the inhuman paw prints lead him to the ten-year unsolved case and the conspiracy of the "Time Hunter" organization - this organization attempts to control time and trap the consciousness of the deceased with the magic of "human clock unity".
Lin Mo unexpectedly discovered that his uncle Lin Shen, whom he had never met before, was actually an undercover agent. When the uncle and nephew teamed up to investigate, the "Block Craftsman" inheritance and "Block Soul" talent left behind by his grandfather gradually awakened. As the investigation deepens, the origins of the three lines of "Time Restorer", "Bell Craftsman" and "Time Hunter" in the Republic of China have surfaced. Lin Mo, together with Liu Mei's granddaughter Xiaoya (successor of the bell soul), Zhong Xian's grandson Zhong Nian (descendant of the hunter), and restorer leader Shen Yuan, cross time and space nodes such as the ancient desert city and the century-old clock tower. They use the power of the bell soul, the magic of runes, and the method of anchor points to fight against evil, and finally realize the return of the three lines to the clan and protect the balance of time.
The story is intertwined with family redemption and mission inheritance. The "ticking" sound of the clock is not only a metaphor for the flow of time, but also an echo of the original intention of the three generations of guardians.
