Pei Zhao makes a living by clearing out the belongings of the dead.
He has three rules: never ask how someone died, never fulfill the dead person's final wish, and never bring their belongings home.
But at three in the morning one day, an old phone that had been out of power for years suddenly lit up. The screen showed a single order: "Deliver the red umbrella to Platform Nine."
The problem was, Linjiang had no Platform Nine.
After that night, empty apartments began livestreaming on their own, the last train carried passengers with no record of ever existing, and people who were still alive went to sleep only to wake up unrecognized by everyone.
All those belongings could speak.
And the first thing they said was always a lie.
Pei Zhao could only follow the lies back to their source. The belongings were never trying to deceive him. They were protecting a secret that some living person could not reveal.
