Abyss Archive

The filing area at three o'clock in the morning never accepts living people. I am Lin Yan, the thirteenth director of the Archives Bureau. I was born with tampered memories, broken bloodlines, and an abyss that imprisoned millions of people. What is housed here is not ghosts, but forgotten obsessions, rotten history, out-of-control emotions, and indescribable rules. Elevators eat up memories, mirrors reproduce family members, streets circulate endlessly, and rainy nights grow shadows that do not belong to the world. Every strange thing is a ticket to the abyss; every investigation is tearing apart the truth that was buried a hundred years ago. The father disappeared, the senior died tragically, the file collapsed, and the seal was loosened. The orange cat that has been with me for twenty-three years hides the world's first secret. I thought I was sheltering terror, but I didn't know that I was the being that the abyss most wanted to contain. The foreshadowing is deeply buried, the clues are intertwined, and the truth is reversed layer by layer. When all the files were put together, I understood—— What humans fear most is never ghosts, but the reality buried by their own hands.
