When ancient books fade, the world begins to forget itself.
The ancient "Guixu" - the abyss of annihilation of all scriptures, has swallowed up the most profound knowledge crystallization of human civilization since ancient times. When the strange beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" break free from the ink marks, the benevolence and righteousness in "The Analects of Confucius" rot in the wind, and the curse of "The Nibelung" seeps into reality... The anchor point of the rules is being eaten away by invisible insects. The world slides into the abyss of absurdity on the wreckage of knowledge.
Xuan Shu, the last patrol envoy, carries a sealed scroll in exchange for the life of his best friend, and holds a pen dipped in blood. Her mission is to use her bones as an inkstone and her life as ink to "continue writing" the laws of collapse on the moth-marked fragments of the classics:
• Redefine taboos on spirits and monsters in "Youyang Zazu", white hair in exchange for a peaceful night in Chang'an;
• Repair the door to the underworld for the "Book of the Dead" and let the curse seal of the dead souls erode into the palm of your hand;
• In the vortex of the collapse of the hexagrams in the "Book of Changes", we use the internal organs as a basis to deduce a glimmer of hope...
Every time I write is a big gamble with Guixu:
Save one person, or massacre an entire city?
Continue to write the legend, or burn the cornerstone of civilization with your own hands?
And she gradually discovered that the abyss itself that swallowed up the classics was actually a living forbidden book called "Cognition"——
It desires that every stroke of her pen and every sacrifice of hers are nothing but blood sacrifices for a "cognitive reincarnation" that covers the world.
When the sealed friend opens his eyes deep in the ruins, when the blood ink dripping from the pen tip soaks into the title page of "Cognition"——
Xuan Shu must choose between "repairing the world" and "ending reincarnation":
Should I become a slave of knowledge that continues to write eternity, or should I turn into a burnt corpse?
