Modern forensic doctor Zhou Ning woke up after falling from a bridge, and his right hand was buried in Concubine He's dissected abdominal cavity.
The imperial concubine was already dead, but the seventh baby cry came from her belly. The "dying in childbirth" document had already been written down in the palace, and everyone was being urged to burn the corpse and destroy the evidence before dawn.
On the same night, He Qinghe, the ancient corpse collector, opened her eyes in the modern hospital. The two exchanged bodies and could only talk to each other through a broken mirror of two generations, seven sentences at a time.
They soon discovered that both the ancient and modern worlds were controlled by the same strange rules: once death was authoritatively written into the ancient "original scroll", and then the modern "receipt" was generated, a living person would lose his name, identity and escape route, and be pushed step by step towards the already written ending.
The cries of corpses, shadow murders, red sedans returning to the clan, headless testimonies, the names of national ghosts and food, and death notices that appear in the system before they happen... These are not hallucinations, but the death supported by the system is emerging.
"Night Travel Division: Two Lifetimes" is a dark fantasy mystery that spans ancient and modern times and is presented in three parts:
In the first "Ancient Scroll", Zhou Ning restarted the Night Travel Division in Dasheng, from the case of the corpse of a noble concubine to the state ghosts supported by the entire dynasty with deleted names and changed files;
In the second part, "This Volume", He Qinghe traces pre-written deaths, identity closures and "to be confirmed" death files in the city in modern times;
In the third part, "Combined Volume", the night scenes of the past and present overlap, and the two heroines finally sit side by side - rewriting the original volume while withdrawing the receipt, breaking the closed loop of mutual confirmation of death between the two eras.
Intent: Death cannot become the only reality just because the authority has written it in advance; the truth should not only punish the most convenient people, but every erased name should be seen again.
