Three hundred years ago, the nine monument keepers used their own "existence" as collateral to seal the nine ancient gods into the nine monuments.
If the monument is not broken, the spirit will not come out.
Silence is the keeper of the ninth monument. His daily job is to sit in front of the monument, eat instant noodles, and watch. The monthly salary is 3,000, with a note of "Special Position Allowance".
He doesn't know who he is. He had a circular scar on his left wrist, and in his pocket was a piece of paper folded into a square with a name he didn't recognize written on it. Every time he uses his ability, he forgets a piece of "self" - first his name, then his partner, and finally himself.
Until the first monument cracked.
Forty-seven members of the monument guardian family disappeared overnight, leaving only a line of blood on the scene: "Don't look for us." Shen Mo was sent to investigate. He met Lu Qinghe, a scavenger who killed people with the back of a knife, Ayesha, a pawnbroker who had never seen the light of day, and Pei Wujiu, a traitor who was missing a front tooth.
They told him: You are not the monument keeper. You are the monument itself.
Underneath the ninth monument is Azathoth, the God of Chaos. And silence is the "human nature" it stripped away three hundred years ago.
What's even more terrifying is that three hundred years ago, there was a man who voluntarily pledged his humanity to Azathoth. Her name is Lin Wanzhao. There is only one person in the world who remembers her. That person is Zhou Guanlan, the president of the pawn shop. It took him three hundred years to release the candle dragon, split the eight monuments, and activate the "Return to Ruins" just to see her again.
But he didn't know that Lin Wanzhao's human nature was silence.
The person he has been looking for for three hundred years has been standing in front of him.
"You are guarding the monument. If the monument is broken, you will be gone.
