Three years ago, Shen Yan lost a memory.
All he remembered was that he was an archival restorer, good at identifying altered, burned, and forged texts. Until late one night, he received a message from no source:
[Archiving failed.
[Original author detected.
[The copy will be opened soon.
From the Midnight Library to the Happy Community, from the Ninth People's Hospital to the last subway, every copy has rules that cannot be violated, and behind every rule there is a revised old draft.
And Shen Yan discovered that he could see the deleted words.
But every time he saw it, he would forget part of reality.
What's even scarier is that all copies point to the same truth:
These rules were once written by him.
When the survivors called him a monster, the administrator called him a traitor, and the system called him the original author, Shen Yan finally began to wonder whether he created the rules to protect mankind, or to write an inescapable cage for the world?
Welcome back, Mr. Shen.
Please do not change the rules again.
