Zhang Yuanlang of Bureau 749: A Tribulation-Crossing Chronicle

In the third month after the Nine Purple Fire cycle began, reports of “unexplained incidents” surged nationwide. The sealing barrier in the Valley of Death in the Kunlun Mountains developed cracks, and local herders reported “blue lights drifting out at night.” Near a Qinling tunnel, construction equipment repeatedly burst into flames for no apparent reason, while workers claimed to hear the sound of stone tablets being struck. A “white whirlwind” appeared again on the Xinjiang border, leaving withered vegetation in its wake. Every strange occurrence pointed to a sealed historical mystery from Bureau 749.
