Duan Liao, an archivist at the Municipal Archives, has been working for eight years. His biggest dream is to retire.
Until that day, when he was sorting out old files, he dug out a yellowed contract.
His name was clearly signed on it, and the date was ten years ago.
The bottom line made him feel cold all over:
"If the designated task is not completed at 0:00 on the seventh day, the soul will return to nothingness and will never be reincarnated."
That afternoon, he discovered that he could hear what everyone was saying. The jealousy of colleagues, the calculations of leaders, and the malice of passers-by all flooded into my mind like a tide.
What's even more frightening is that the phone number of the contact person in the contract has long been cancelled.
Countdown begins.
He found old files from ten years ago and discovered that the last contractor, named Lin Xiao, "voluntarily resigned" after one month of employment - there was a line of small pencil text next to the file: "Contract, disappeared on the seventh day."
He found Linjia Village and found Lin Xiao's sister Lin Yue. After hiding for ten years, she told him the truth:
The old warehouse of the archives contains the secrets of the contract, the method to break the curse, and the death trap set by the shepherd.
And the person who controls everything is right next to him.
The seventh day is getting closer.
Duan Liao clutched the only copper coin that could reveal the truth, and the cold voice sounded in his ears again:
"Stop checking, you will definitely die on the seventh day."
