The Lock of the Boundary

All the clocks in Free City stopped at three forty-seven. Only the scar on Kyle's left arm still rang. He is the clock repairman and the lock cylinder that the Order has been waiting for for sixteen years. The lock under the bell tower requires seven bells, seven sacrifices, and a living key. The Order asked him to open the door. The military wanted him to become a sample. The bell required him to walk to the keyhole. But when the seventh tone rang, Kyle chose another path. He did not become the key. He became a lock. The lock is man-made and can be broken by humans. In Yuanhe City, someone had been waiting for him for sixteen years.
