Calamity Returns: I'm the Only One Who Knows the Rules' Loopholes

Thirty years after the Calamities returned, the city looks bright and bustling on the surface. The subways still run, and companies still force their employees to work overtime. Only a handful of people know that reality has been rotten to its core for a long time. Overworked office drone Lu Zhao only wanted to make it through the layoffs, but ended up stumbling into the Anomaly Bureau and becoming a temporary lackey for the Seventh Team. Others handle calamities with experience and their lives on the line. He uses his way with words to dismantle rules, find loopholes, and claw a way out of certain death. But with every calamity he contains, the dormant spark inside him awakens a little more, and echoes from beyond the curtain begin to ring in his ears. Only when his father's old case, the Bureau's dark secrets, and the erased truth of the old era gradually come to light does Lu Zhao realize that he wasn't dragged into the anomalies: he is the crucial spark behind this resurgence. The brighter the spark, the closer the Abyss draws. Every step he takes toward becoming stronger brings the mortal world one step closer to losing control.
