Can time be stolen?
If you could, what would you pay to get it back?
A transaction on a rainy night brought two people wandering in the shadow of time to meet unexpectedly.
Chen Shixu, a time investigator who believes in order, witnessed the horrifying scene of time being "erased" while investigating a bizarre case. Lin Shun, a "recycler" whose identity is a mystery, has the scars of time branded on his wrist, just to deal with taboos that should not exist.
What they are fighting for is just a grain of sand.
A grain of golden sand suspended in a metal box that defies common sense. It rotates quietly, with the reflection of the rainy night reflected inside, and the retrograde trajectory of time flowing around it. It is a "relic", a living, localized singularity in time. It records the past, swallows the present, and drags the fate of all those who come close into the vortex.
When the time on Chen Shixu's watch began to flow backwards, and when Lin Shun's sealed memories were awakened by grains of sand, they discovered——
This grain of sand is closely related to a top-secret experiment called the Tomb of Time that has been covered up for many years, and even more closely related to a little girl who should have been erased by time. That riddle-like warning became the only clue:
"The grave of time is round."
This is a chase on the circle of time.
From the neon-blurred rainy night in the city to the underground ruins that have been dusty for twenty years, they must unravel the truth about the "Butterfly" girl and find the key to the closed loop before Chen Shixu's time is "turned back" to zero. In the shadows, buyers who want to "calibrate" history at all costs are pressing closer.
When the past becomes a relic, the future becomes a bet.
On the edge of time, the thief and the pursuer must decide together - whether to bury the truth and maintain a fragile balance; or to open the closed loop and face the gentle and cruel dawn at the end of time.
Key points
- Sci-fi suspense core: hard-core settings and logic puzzles surrounding the "time singularity".
- The fateful linkage between the two powers: the collision of rational order and the mysterious past, the bond established in the crisis.
- The core of humanistic emotions: Under the shell of time science fiction, explore the essence of memory, loss and existence.
- Movie-like scenes: the city on a rainy night, the ruins of time, and the countercurrent sand create strong tension in the picture.
The story begins with the breath of a grain of sand.
The ending is hidden at the starting point of the closed loop of time.
