The Ferryman

When Yu Zhoubai, a social worker with a debt of 100,000 yuan, received a debt collection threat outside his father's ICU, he thought his life had hit rock bottom - until the ancestral bronze compass burned through his clothes on a rainy night.​ In the old antique town of Yunzhou City, a bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty reflected a faceless shadow; in the abandoned Red Star Factory on the outskirts of the city, green vines entangled living people sucking life out of them; and his father's letter before his death contained an even more shocking secret: his family has been "gap keepers" for generations, and the compass can repair the "cracks" at the interface between reality and fantasy, and it can also produce the "vital value" that saves his father's life.​ From passively repairing the gap shadow to collect medical expenses, to facing the "Ghost Hand Chen" who resells the gap tokens; from relying on the bronze whistle to temporarily avoid danger, to activating the golden light of the compass to fight against high-level gap energy - Yu Zhoubai gradually understood that the so-called "ferryman" not only saved his father's life, but also the countless crises hidden under the neon lights in this city.​ But he didn't expect that the big crack in the Red Star Factory that his father failed to seal twenty years ago actually contained a sign of the collapse of the boundary gap; and behind Guishou Chen, there were even larger forces staring at his compass.​ When the vitality was down to the last 7 points, when the father in the hospital and the safety of the city had to choose between one or the other, Yu Zhoubai tightened his grip on the hot compass: "This time, I will not let anyone be swallowed by the gap again."​ ——The fantasy cracks in the city are spreading, and his road to redemption has just begun.
