"The Bell Clears the Lock"
In the hustle and bustle of modern cities, there is a deep and affectionate bond that spans blood. "Bell Clear Lock" is a modern novel with two male protagonists written by Nanzhu Yanyu. It outlines a romantic story in the late 1990s with delicate brushstrokes, allowing readers to feel the wonder of fate and the power of love between the lines.
When Xu Jinyu was eight years old, her parents died, and she struggled to survive in an orphanage with her five-year-old brother Xu Yi. The harsh environment made Xu Jinyu learn to be strong early on, but it also made Xu Yi develop a pathological dependence - he didn't want his brother's protection, he wanted everything he had.
As an adult, Xu Yi appears to be well-behaved, but is already twisted inside. He destroyed every relationship of Xu Jinyu, used self-mutilation to gain attention, and even did not hesitate to cause "accidents" to ruin his brother's wedding. When Xu Jinyu finally decided to escape, Xu Yi imprisoned him in the old house and held a strange "Blood Soul Contract" ceremony on the night of the full moon. It is a forbidden technique that can entangle two people's souls forever.
However, there is a darker truth hidden behind the ritual. The Xu family has been "jades raisers" for generations, and those seemingly exquisite jades contain ancient evil spirits that long for human sacrifices. Xu Yi's paranoia is not completely crazy, but the result of being gradually corroded by Yu Ling.
When Xu Jinyu discovered the family secret in the secret room, he understood——
This twisted bond was destined three thousand years ago.
