Gu Chenzhou is the only "relic restorer" in Linjiang City.
He has repaired burned photos, cracked jade pendants, stopped watches, and also repaired the mobile phone held in the hand of the deceased before his death.
There is a rule in this craft:
Things can be repaired, memories can be mended, but the life of the dead cannot be changed.
Until one day, a woman sent an old mobile phone that had no battery but would ring.
There was only one missed call on the phone. The call was at 3:17 in the morning eight years ago, and the owner of the number was Gu Chenzhou's brother who had been missing for many years.
After the call was connected, my brother's hoarse voice came from inside:
"Don't fix that clock."
On the same day, the last bus of Linjiang City's Route 404, carrying thirteen passengers without a trace, drove into the long-demolished old city.
Some say don't get in that car after midnight.
Some people say that there are no wards on the fourth floor of the abandoned hospital in the south of the city.
Some people say that at four o'clock in the morning, the elevator will send living people to non-existent floors.
Gu Chenzhou gradually discovered that these legends circulating in the corners of the city were never stories.
Behind every legend lies a forgotten relic.
Every time he repairs a relic, he can make a strange event disappear temporarily, but he will also lose a piece of his own memory.
And when the twelve urban legends wake up at the same time, Linjiang City will become a city that no living person can remember after the thirteenth bell rings.
This time, what Gu Chenzhou wanted to repair was not a certain relic.
It's the truth that the entire city has been artificially erased.
