Children of the Rift

Lu Yuan is a mercenary. The left eye was replaced with a mechanical prosthetic eye, which can see fragments of parallel universes. There is an old scar from a deep burn on his left arm, a souvenir from nine years ago. He accepted an escort mission: to send a nine-year-old girl who could not speak to Sky City. The reward is three hundred grams of crystals. He thought it was ordinary gray area smuggling. Until the Purification Department ambushes, the Abyss Society pursues them, and the cicadas wake up collectively. Until the girl said to him: "I can smell the echoes of the dead. There are many broken people below the Rift Harbor." Until he saw himself in a parallel universe - wearing the uniform of the Purification Department, destroying a city. Two thousand years ago, a man used nuclear explosions and boundary walls to save the world and kill his own family. Two thousand years later, Lu Yuan will find another way in all possible universes. A path that doesn't involve sacrificing anyone. ——If this road exists.
