To save my family, I take a high-paying night shift that pays thirty thousand a month: working as a security guard at the city museum.
My employment contract has just one strange clause: during your night shift, your senses belong to the museum.
At first, I think it's just a joke. Then midnight strikes, and every national treasure awakens at once:
Han dynasty terracotta figures sing to me in eerie voices, the chime bells of the Warring States period ring by themselves, and wind and rain from ancient paintings seep into reality...
And somehow, I can understand their whispers from a thousand years ago!
The previous night guard vanished mysteriously. A warning from seven years ago comes from inside the walls, and bizarre rules cover every exhibition hall.
Only then do I understand: this museum is a living prison for civilization.
And I am both its new keeper and... its next prisoner.
