Cat's Contract: Midnight Guard

Xiran thought she would never have a cat again, until a silver-grey tabby walked into her arms on a snowy night, with ancient rhythms hidden in its sapphire-green eyes. The echoes under the bridge began to read the broken names, and she, scholar Li Ze, and the guardians were shocked to realize that someone had numbered, packaged, and sold these sounds, and secretly arranged "twilight scenes" in the dark to allow the rich to hear other people's memories. With three beats from a cat, several hydrophones and an old ledger, they pieced together broken sounds, decoded the spectrum, and guarded the circuit - but as they approached the transaction chain, they discovered that the complete recording that had been pre-sold would be delivered at dusk. Time is passing, buyers are waiting, and names are being torn apart. Xiran must choose: use tenderness to recall the memories to their original place, or watch them being auctioned off as commodities? Who can finish reading those unfinished words, and who will pay the price for memory?
