Pawnshop on a Rainy Night

Lincheng has a long rainy season, and the old city is like an old wound that has been soaked in water for a long time. The boundaries are blurred and rumors breed. On a rainy night, a pawn shop that only appears at certain times quietly opens its doors. Living people can exchange their "breath" for the deceased's last words, but every transaction carries a deeper price: the last words will point to the listener's future death, and the person who hears the seventh last word will eventually become the next "commodity" of the pawn shop. Reporter Xu Linchuan was involved in the investigation due to serial drownings and the "July 3 Floods" old case. Guided by the residual voices left by the mysterious woman Gu Yinan and the missing person Ye Qi, he followed step by step into the listening port, listening room, back well and main listening port at the bottom of the well, approaching the deepest old road in the city. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he discovers that the pawnshop is not a shop, but a set of rules and positions that will grow back on rainy nights; the scariest thing is never the monsters, but the old rules that force people to take the initiative to fill the gaps.
