My name is Gu Yuan. I used to be an artifact restorer at the provincial museum.
Then one day, I happened to touch a bronze compass. Not only did it bring danger to my life, it also changed the way I saw the world.
Surrounded in an abandoned building?
[Tip: The third brick in the wall to your left is hollow. There is a hidden door inside.]
Lost in a no-man's-land?
[Tip: Humidity in the wind has risen by 0.3%. There is an underground water source five kilometers away, at two o'clock.]
Surrounded in a rainforest?
[Tip: The enemy is closing in from three sides. Their right flank is poorly defended. That's your only opening.]
From fleeing through the city to drifting at sea, from the South American rainforest to an underground ancient city.
When mercenaries block every exit with their guns and our main force is captured,
a despairing teammate asks me, “What do we do?”
I steady myself and point to a dry riverbed.
“Don't panic.”
“My senses tell me this way is clear.”
