Time Auctioneer: Time Flowing to Zero

[Urban supernatural power, social allegory, suspense reasoning] In 2045, the global monetary system collapsed and the "time standard" was officially implemented. Humanity has entered the era of time - everyone is bound to a 100-year basic time period at birth, labor is exchanged for time, trading uses time, and even death is marked by "duration returning to zero". Some people live in the Eternal City in the stratosphere, where time flows ten times slower than on the ground; some people struggle in the underground city, and their average life span is less than forty years old. In the face of time, all living beings are never equal. Lin Yue, a former Binhai City criminal police officer, was framed for investigating a strange missing persons case. On the day of his suspension, he took over a dilapidated auction house left by his uncle. It was also on that day that he awakened the power of time - he could see through other people's remaining lifespans and track the flow of time. He originally just wanted to find out the truth about why he was framed. Unexpectedly, all the clues eventually pointed to an account that did not exist in any public directory—— "0000". One account swallowed up 580 million years of human time in 16 years. Who is its owner? Where did all that time go? From the shabby auction houses in the old city, to the bloody transactions in the underground black market, to the Eternal City above the clouds... Lin Yue traced the trajectory of time and finally discovered an entire era of lies. ——When time becomes a commodity, life has a price. ——But there are always people who are willing to use the remaining time to change a fairer tomorrow.
