"Abyss of Dust"
Lin Ye, a poor young man who works in a convenience store, is always troubled by bizarre incidents - he can see the black energy on the bodies of dying people, he will dream of disasters that have not happened yet, and even renting an apartment is forced to a desperate situation by the sudden increase in rent.
Until that rainy night, he found a strange bronze mirror under the bed, and his body with a knife in his chest was reflected in the mirror. The old man in Chinese tunic standing in the void on the sixth floor outside the window, the dark red liquid seeping out of the cracks in the door panel, and the antique shop owner Uncle Chen who suddenly "changed his face" all involved him in a secret that spans a century.
Bronze buckles are engraved with "dust", bronze mirrors reflect life and death, cats with different eyes can count heartbeats, and those "fellow dust followers" who wear the same copper buckles seem to have long been eyeing the crescent scar on his wrist.
When the rental contract became a reminder, and when the elders he spent time with day and night showed their fangs, Lin Ye discovered that: the so-called poverty was just because someone wanted him to be trapped in the dust forever; the so-called ordinary was just that he had forgotten that he was supposed to stir up the abyss.
He clutched the hot bronze mirror tightly. In the three days before the rent was due, he had to retrieve the erased memory - because the countdown to the next body in the mirror had already begun.
