Liminal Clearinghouse: Countdown to the Limitation of Time

In Shenzhen in 2026, Sakai Qinghuai had just paid off the "time-limited debt" for his sister Sakai Qingning, when he was dragged into the "liminal liquidation bureau" - people here rely on "gray domain tasks" to earn "time-limiting" to extend their lives, and those who fail will become the "consciousness reverberation" of the city. Ten years ago, her parents died due to participating in the "dark matter experiment", and Qingning was adopted by the Sakai family as an "anchored reverberation" abandoned by the experiment. Sakai Kiyoi inherited his father's "time-limiting replacement device". Every time he earns time-limited time, he is repaying the "reverberation debt" left by his parents. The team leader Yao Yue is a cheongsam woman with purple lines on her right eye. The snake tooth key can anchor the reverberation and open the lock of the "time closed loop". The regular officer's format gun chases the back of the neck, the hunger gear of the clock factory gnaws at the aging panel, and his father's experimental log hides the conspiracy of "using relatives as anchors" - when Sakai Qinghuai discovers that Yao Yue is the "adult version of Qing Ning", when his future self wears the regular officer badge and raises a gun, he holds the snake tooth key and stands at the turning point of the Mobius strip: Should we use time to extend the existence of our "sister", or should we smash the anchor of the gray realm and stand in the same camp as her? And his panel is still jumping.
