I Am the Only Eater in the World Who Is Everlasting

Guan Ju made a wish on the day he became a full-time official: save a down payment and live like an ordinary person for the rest of his life. Half a year later, while lying in a mental hospital, he understood two things - First, he can see the "fate" above everyone's head. Some people are golden and bright, and some people are as gray as ashes. Those lives were drifting into his body one by one. Second, the first name he ate was Lao Zhou, the tower keeper. Before his death, Lao Zhou said: "Keep the lights on for me." He spent his whole life cleaning windows because "only when the lights are on can people at sea find their homes." Guan Ju recorded Lao Zhou's name on the first page of the ledger. From then on, he continued to live on for everyone he killed. But the more lives he takes, the less human he becomes. The world outside the mental hospital is chasing him, and the world inside the mental hospital is eating him - and his own life, with his twenty-two-year-old face, is getting cleaner year by year, too clean to be alive. It took him seven years to understand: he was not sick, he was a key. And the door he tried so hard to break open was locked by himself. "I will take your lives and mark the days for you." Highlights in one sentence: He lives by taking his own life, but uses his life to pay off the debts of the dead - how a "monster" becomes a human again.
