The Future Recycling Station

Lin Du runs an electronics repair shop that's on the verge of closing.

Then one day, he receives a package from thirty years in the future.

A phone recording future disasters, a tool that can slice through steel with ease, and a product manual bearing his own name, for a product that won't be invented for another three years.

Lin Du gradually discovers that this world contains countless abandoned futures.

Inventions that were never released, histories that never took place, even civilizations that have already perished may all leave behind relics.

And he can bring those relics back to the present.

The trouble is, anything from an abandoned future will eventually disappear.

Unless he can recreate its technology with his own hands.

So, starting from an unremarkable repair shop, Lin Du sets out on a completely different path.

Others study technology to create the future.

He studies it to make futures that should never have existed become reality once more.

Then one day, he recovers a file from humanity's final day.

It contains just one warning:

"Lin Du, stop bringing the future back."
