Do people really leave traces behind after they die?

My name is Lin Zhou, and I’m a funeral belongings organizer born without the ability to feel emotions.

When grieving relatives break down in tears, all I can do is recite the Emotional Handbook to fake empathy.

Then one day, I touched a dead man’s radio, and an [Hourglass of Regret] suddenly appeared in my mind.

I was forcibly dragged into a maze of memories from the moments before the man’s death. Trapped in the absolute darkness of a blind man’s perspective, I had to use my hearing and sense of smell to figure out the killer’s mistake, or suffer brain death in the real world!

After solving the case, a [Pain] crystal fell from the hourglass. Like a machine, I experienced “fear of pain” for the first time in my life.

A ghost bus at midnight, the all-villain Kisaragi train, a silent game of bloody hide-and-seek...

In one deadly instance after another, I used razor-sharp logic to tear apart the rules of these strange tales, gradually unlocking “anger,” “empathy,” and “love.”

But just as I finally pieced together a complete soul and put together the clues surrounding my fiancée’s murder three years ago, the final killer’s profile pointed perfectly to the mentor who had raised me...

On a stormy night, I threw away the Handbook and picked up a scalpel.

“Scene cleanup complete. This time, I understood your last words.”
