On the eve of graduation, Jiang Yin bought a watch in the grocery store downstairs.
On the day of graduation, heavy fog engulfed the entire campus, and Zhu Yan, covered in bronze rust, trampled the auditorium to pieces.
He is dead.
Then he woke up.
He returned to before the ceremony, with the watch on his wrist covered in patina and the hands aligned.
He thought he had obtained an invincible golden finger,
Until he discovered that the minute hand went full circle and the date of birth on the ID card jumped forward one year.
When I was young, I no longer remembered him, and his figure became blurry in family photos.
Strange beasts and people in the mountains and seas, a bronze tree growing upside down under the ice, the unknown side of the world broke into his ordinary life.
The birth date is synchronized with this moment, and there is only one last step back before being completely forgotten by the world.
Jiang Yin stood on the rooftop, overlooking the city that was about to be destroyed.
"You are me, but you are not me. I will take a different path!"
He jumped.
