The old debt has been canceled, but the new contract has not yet been completed. The Iron Triangle reunited, but the price of the ferryman's return was a huge gamble that even Pluto was involved in.
In the third year after Zhao Li disappeared, in convenience store No. 444 On a rainy night, Xia Dongqing habitually chilled the beer that no one drank, and Wang Xiaoya subconsciously cooked dumplings for one more person. Until the door was pushed open, the black umbrella was dripping with water, and the old friend who was as pale as ever asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there still a place for me?"
Behind the ecstasy and tears, there is a deeper suspicion: Zhao Li, who returned from the underworld, seems to have forgotten something, and seems to be burdened with more. Why did the long-handled black umbrella that never leaves the soul ferryman stay in Pluto Chacha's car?
The Iron Triangle seems to be reunited, but each has its own secrets. The dormant power in Dongqing's body is faintly restless due to the return of Zhao Li; Xiaoya's price for staying in the world is about to expire; and in Zhao Li's empty chest, the mark of the old contract has been erased, replaced by a new spell written by Pluto's fingertips, shining with blue light.
Under the lights of the convenience store, the warmth has not yet spread, and the cold chess game has quietly unfolded. The chess player, Chacha, tapped the steering wheel, smiled and whispered. This time, what she wants is not only an obedient ferryman, but also a gamble that can disturb the balance of the three realms. The ferryman, Jiutian Xuannv, mortals, and the intricate forces behind them have all become pieces that must fall on the chessboard.
When the last bottle of beer is unsealed and the last bowl of dumplings is bottomed out, they must face a question more cruel than waiting: Is returning to continue to protect, or for the final separation?
The story starts from the convenience store on a rainy night and points to the unknown abyss
