The Old City Letter Receiver: I Can Hear Relics

Unemployed journalist Xu Jianchuan returns to his hometown and inherits an abandoned old post office. At midnight, the post office receives letters that shouldn't exist. The recipients are long dead, the senders are untraceable, and each envelope contains a relic. A red umbrella still dripping with water, an old ticket to an abandoned station, a student diary filled with the same sentence... As long as he touches the relic, Xu Jianchuan can hear the last forgotten words of the deceased. But each time he hears them, he loses a part of his own memory. To uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance seventeen years ago, he begins to deliver those undelivered letters for the dead. But as old cases are reopened, he gradually discovers that what is truly buried is not someone's death, but a past that the entire city has collectively forgotten. Someone is creating memories. Someone is selling oblivion. And the last letter he receives comes from the future. In the sender's column, his own name is written. In this city, every old object remembers the truth. But some truths require a lifetime to repay. — Description from novelcodex.org
