   *The Bureau of Extraordinary Events Files* – The protagonist, Yang Yan, isn't a genius; he's a pawn manipulated into a scheme. A retired special forces soldier, Yang Yan, possesses the ability to see ghosts. While on a mission on the Yunnan border, he accidentally enters a thousand-year-old altar, where a mummified corpse resurrects, and his comrades are brutally murdered. A silver-haired man who has lived for two thousand years saves him, leaving behind the words, "If you don't come, no one will save you next time." He is taken to the mysterious organization "Bureau of Extraordinary Events," where various monsters are imprisoned on the sixth underground level. He discovers that the mummified corpse has his own face—not destiny, but someone deliberately altered it. The mastermind is Xu Yan, a disciple of Xu Fu, who conducted immortality experiments on living people two thousand years ago. The three Bai siblings were his experimental subjects. Now, he's returning. The protagonist isn't a typical overpowered protagonist; he's a pawn manipulated into a scheme. But he's not one to wait to die—he's breaking the deadlock. The suspense is palpable, the pace is fast, and the characters are cold and hard. Fans of *The Bureau of Extraordinary Events* and *Ghost Blows Out the Light* should enjoy this.
