Every day at midnight in the city, the identity of a living person is cancelled.
The ID card becomes invalid on the first day, the bank card is frozen on the second day, and the job disappears on the third day... After seven days, even the people closest to you will forget you.
I was originally just an ordinary worker at the Citizen Center's Identity Counter window, until a man who had been logged out for six days came to me: "At midnight tonight, it's your turn."
When I checked the hidden list, my name was indeed at the bottom.
In order to prove that I was still alive, I began to track down those who had "disappeared", only to find that it was never just a name that was written off. Marriage, real estate, jobs, children, even criminal responsibilities can all be torn away and given to another person.
At the end of the investigation, I discovered that I had been canceled once twenty-one years ago.
