Stop When You See It

When the autumn floods recede, a tongueless forbidden bell and carved bones are revealed in the reservoir area's recession zone. Lin Que, a student from the Department of Archeology, went on an emergency investigation with the county doctor, but at night he "heard words on the bones", which implicated the ancient "Battle of the Deer" covenant: calling names must be limited to oneself, and should be stopped at sight; bones belong to their owners and should not be spoken to. The deserters seek profit from "sharper names", the secret agencies try to reshape the order with engineering and ancient covenants, and rumors and group calls turn "names" into disasters. Under the principle of "record first, intervene later", Lin Que worked side by side with the curator and reporter Wen Sheng to recycle scattered catalogs of artifacts and hold on to an older and more difficult answer - before naming the world, first allow it to be silent.
