Core settings
Worldview structure: The story is set in the near-future city "Xingang City" where cyberpunk and wasteland intersect. The city is divided into the "Eden District" on the upper level and the "Rust Iron District" on the lower level by the huge dome. In this world, human emotions and memories can be extracted into energy called "source", while out-of-control memories will transform into monsters "nightmare beasts" that devour reason.
Core organization and laws: The story revolves around the "Night Watch", a secret organization directly under the Federal Supreme Council. This agency has the privilege to act first and then act, and specializes in handling extreme cases involving high-level source material contamination. The two protagonists are the only "dual-core" partners in "Night Watch". Their abilities are fatally mutually exclusive, but they form a perfect closed loop in battle.
Character bonds and fate: Jiang Wang, codenamed "Tyrant", possesses the S-level spiritual power "Absolute Zero Domain", which can forcibly deprive or tamper with the five senses of others, but at the cost of gradually losing his sense of pain and taste, and falling into the abyss of sensory deprivation. Qi Jingshen, codenamed "The Lantern Man", possesses the rare healing power "retrospection", which can suture sexual and mental wounds, but he must transfer the pain Jiang Wang suffered to himself. The two are each other's only anchor, and they save each other in the abyss.
