   This book is riddled with hidden plots. The herbal medicine distributed by the county government has a bitter almond flavor and alters memories after consumption; after the third bell tolls, children in the city are erased from existence; the granaries are empty of grain, filled only with the hair and teeth of those whose memories have been erased. These seemingly bizarre rules are actually intricate conspiracies designed to manipulate human nature, leaving you too afraid to ponder them late at night after reading.

This is the bottom line for survival.] In 2250, humanity is trapped in the solar system, with countless space stations surrounding the mutated blue planet like tombstones. On his first day at work, Gu Zhun committed the greatest taboo—he stared at Earth for a full minute. From that moment on, his world shattered. What appeared perfectly normal to others, the space stations were, in his eyes, a cannibalistic hell: In the pipes of Sector F, someone was using Morse code to call for help; the special steak in the cafeteria was made from the remains of a deceased colleague; behind the door of Sector H-99 lay the morning rush hour of 2024, where countless spirits were frantically rushing for the perfect attendance bonus. A black diary, decipherable only by a madman, became his only weapon. While everyone else cautiously followed the rules to survive, Gu Zhun, guided by that madman's diary, climbed from the lowest D-level to a B-level supervisor. It turned out that the Deep Space Planning Bureau wasn't about exploring the universe at all; it was a giant oil press, extracting humanity's nostalgia and hopes for the past. "Station Chief, I heard you want to go to Proxima Centauri?" Gu Zhun stood before the black incinerator, looking at the burning abyss, a maniacal smile playing on his lips. "Sorry, I think you're more suitable as fuel than I am." Welcome to the Deep Space Planning Bureau. Please always remain rational, because—Earth is watching you.
