After his sudden death, Shen Zhou signed a labor contract with the Late Night Archives Bureau.
The benefits are complete, but there is a shocking note at the end of the contract: you will be enrolled when you join the company, and you will be removed when you leave.
Becoming a night watchman, he travels through the gaps in the urban night, dealing with anomalies that are based on rules and strange stories. The figure with red shoes on the overpass, the driver of the last bus stuck on the return line to Kuala Lumpur... These wandering obsessions are tears that have nowhere to put in the city. The Archives Bureau adheres to the iron law and advocates thorough purification and eradication of all anomalies; but Shen Zhou, holding the dark blue anomaly directory, chooses another path - to catch the obsession and remember the name.
The rusty door in the darkness slowly opens, and every word and word will eat away at the names and memories of living people. The handwriting that appears in advance on the album page reveals the inescapable fate of reincarnation for generations of album holders. The conflict between the Purification Faction and the Preservation Faction is intensifying. A great purge sweeping the city is brewing, and countless living people involved will also be wiped out.
From ordinary night watchmen, to Si Ye who guards the area, to archivists who can tamper with the rules. On the expensive road to promotion, Shen Zhou tried his best to protect the names of others and his own existence.
When the old order collapses, he will finally stand at the end of the long night and write a new set of late night laws for all nameless souls.
