Time is the most valuable currency in the world.
Under the rule of the big clock, everyone is born with a debt - every second of life is calculated, harvested, and deprived by the system. People at the bottom are running desperately, just to gain a few more hours of breathing before the countdown reaches zero. This is not called living, this is called being domesticated.
Lin Que was the most inconspicuous waste among them. The life balance is so low that it bottoms out at any time, but with a buzzer-beating settlement, a terrifying power spanning three levels breaks out at the last second of the deadline.
This ability is called shadow state - the closer to death, the more powerful it becomes.
Lao Chi said: This kid is born with a logic virus.

He doesn't believe in fate. All he knew was that he still owed a promise he had made: to take Xiao He to see the sun once.

From a low-level migrant worker on the verge of death to a hot target pursued by the entire legal bureau; from a single person surviving to a group of wastes protecting each other. He, the old master whose vitality was seriously injured, his former partner who was half human and half machine, and the girl who could see fragments of the future, in this bell made of bone and blood, approached step by step the problem that no one dared to touch——
If living is just to avoid death, what is the meaning of living itself?
