Ninth Archives Office

Lin Mo is a doctor of ancient writing and archeology. He only believes in one thing in his life - evidence. He was secretly recruited into the Ninth Archives Office 220 meters underground. He had only one mission: to use physical evidence to test the historical claims that were widely circulated on the Internet to see which ones were true and which ones were false. Starting from a line of unnoticed annotations on the margins of the Yongle Dadian, he followed Zheng He's route six hundred years ago and traveled to Malacca, Sri Lanka, East Africa, Europe, and America. Everywhere he goes, he has to face interference from online rumors, obstruction from foreign forces, and even a crisis of trust among teammates. And all the clues ultimately point to a secret that has been hidden for six hundred years... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
