Sixteen-year-old Lin Wu sat alone in the old bookstore left by his aunt, facing a bucket of instant noodles and a yellowed copy of "Mirror City Strange Tales".
An ancient book flew out automatically from the bookshelf, and a line of words appeared on the page:
[New containment mission: Elevator No. 3, Times Square. Trapped: A night shift security guard. I have been sleepy for 3 hours and my perception time is 3 days.
[Archer, it's time to go.
Lin Wu sighed, put on his aunt's old windbreaker, opened the door and walked into the night.
No one knows that this first-year lolita, who is as beautiful as a porcelain doll, is a quiet and lonely top student in the eyes of her classmates during the day, but at night she is an "archivist" of a mysterious system - her job is to contain the weird stories and weirdness that wander around the dark side of the city.
A midnight elevator that forever traps passengers.
A smiling mirror that makes people lose themselves.
An echoing corridor that never ends.
Behind every ghost story, there is a story that wants to be remembered.
And Lin Wu's story is deeper than all the weird stories - the missing aunt, the mysterious "Order", and the clues left by a mother she has never seen before...
Until she met the talented female painter who could see the "truth".
Shen Qingmo looked at Lin Wu and said something that changed everything:
"There's light behind you. It's beautiful."
From then on, Lin Wu was no longer alone on his midnight shelter journey.
She is the most mysterious guardian of Mirror City.
He is also the only protagonist in a certain painter's works.
