In the darkest narrow alley in the city, there is a convenience store that is never listed.
It opens at 00:00 and closes at 03:33. It only accepts desperate people.
It doesn't sell water, cigarettes, or anything else that can satisfy your hunger.
What's on the shelves is all the expired pain of human beings.
The career hopes that have been crushed, the life-sucking destiny, the loveless marriage, the unpayable mortgage, the housing in the school district that has forced two generations to die, the helpless old age, the despair of being so poor that one is waiting to die...
Every product has a cold label:
[Status: Rotten] [Transaction: Surrender yourself]
The storekeeper Ye Lin is a prisoner cursed for eternal life.
He has seen middle-aged people who are as numb as ghosts after being laid off, he has seen daughters who have been squeezed out by their families, he has seen wives who have been driven crazy by cold violence, he has seen parents who chew their bones to pieces for the sake of their children, and he has seen old people who have no money for medical treatment and can only wait to die.
He does not persuade, rescue, or comfort.
Only responsible for transactions:
You give me your pain and I take away part of your soul.
From now on, you no longer feel pain, no longer hate, no longer expect, and no longer look like a living person.
Some people give up hope in exchange for living in numbness.
Some people give up their family affection and change their clothes to relax.
Some people give up their desires in exchange for a lonely life.
Some people surrender their desire to live in exchange for a peaceful death.
This convenience store never heals the world.
It's just a witness -
All the pain, all the suffering, all the despair of contemporary people,
All expired, rotten in the bones, no one can redeem them.
And the shopkeeper who visits him at night also hides a sin that can never expire.
When the last guest leaves, he will kiss
