[Top-Secret Classification: Zero]
For the first time, the code name "Project Abyss" is being revealed: forbidden files sealed away for half a century by Bureau 749, China's most mysterious paranormal investigation agency. In 1973, sound waves from an enormous bronze gate beneath the uninhabited reaches of Qinghai matched descriptions in the Classic of Mountains and Seas exactly. In 1996, "living black water" containing amino acids not found on Earth was discovered beneath the site of Unit 731 in Harbin. In 2012, amid magnetic anomalies in Kunlun Mountain's Valley of Death, a glowing object resembling the "Moon-Piercing Raft" described in the Record of Lost Matters was photographed.
Special Warning
During the "Ghost Garrison" phenomenon that suddenly appeared deep in the Greater Khingan Range in 2021, Bureau 749's special task force brought back a humanoid specimen. Tests revealed a bronze heart in its chest, with the same isotope composition as the bronze tree from Sanxingdui. Seventy-two hours later, the specimen evaporated inside a lead-sealed chamber, leaving behind only a cicada shell covered in Tangut script. The decoded message read: "By the time you read these words, the countdown to Kunlun Void will have begun."
Warning: Anyone who reads this file will automatically be placed on the "Sky Eye" surveillance list.
All contents have been encrypted against memetic contamination. Anyone who attempts to spread them will trigger a memory-erasure procedure at the subconscious level. The file's sole safety phrase is the final line of the Judgment for Hexagram 44 in the Book of Changes, but that page vanished from every surviving text before 302 AD.
Tear off the red paint seal and understand the truth hidden in the earth's veins - "749 Bureau's sealed archives" series of book reviews At a time when supernatural articles all over the Internet are gathering attention with straightforward horror and bloody scenes, this set of "749 Bureau's sealed archives" created from the perspective of the real 749 field files, has suddenly embarked on a differentiated path of documentary suspense. There are no jump scares deliberately, and there are no fantasy battles that are divorced from reality. All strange phenomena are anchored in the three core logics of geomantic omen, resentment left over from history, and man-made destruction of the magic circle. The urban ghost stories and strange stories from the mountains are dismantled into official disposal files that can be surveyed, channeled, and repaired. After reading it, all that is left is a numbing sense of reality. It is also the most down-to-earth and realistic original supernatural work I have read on the Tomato platform in recent times.
