Reincarnation Bill

No one knows when the "Day of Reckoning" began. Maybe it's the sudden appearance of a bloody bill in the freezer of a convenience store at three o'clock in the morning, or maybe it's the unfamiliar face in the office building elevator mirror when the number jumps to a "*", or maybe it's the countdown that appears out of thin air in the memo on your phone—[72 hours remain until the next liquidation]. The first time Su Ye saw a bill was on the dashboard of the electric car he used to deliver food part-time. On the piece of paper with the yellow color of old newspaper, it was written in dark red ink: [Mission World: 1998 Rainy Night Video Hall. Mission objective: Find the "eye" under the fifth seat from the left in the third row. Penalty for failure: erasure of all traces of existence. He thought it was a prank until he saw with his own eyes that Aunt Zhang in the next building disappeared without a trace, like pencil writing erased by an eraser, along with her floral skirt hanging on the balcony and the credit record of the convenience store downstairs. On Su Ye's bill, there is always one more line than others: [You can trade with the "liquidator" once, the price is: a memory]. When he met the "Liquidator" in a Shanghai alley in 1943, who always wore a black trench coat and held a silver lighter between his fingertips, the other person asked him with a smile: "Would you use the memory of the copper bell you picked up by the river pond when you were seven years old to trade for your livelihood in this mission?" What he doesn't know is that the memory fragments he used for trading are piecing together the truth about "reincarnation" in an unknown time and space - all the people involved in the liquidation were once the ones who made the rules.
