Guardian's Key

When there are cracks in the rules hidden in the corners that cannot be illuminated by the neon lights of the city, the anomaly named "Source Point" is the eye staring into the world from the depths of the cracks. In order to find his missing adoptive father Yi Zheng, college graduate Yin Li joins the "Valley Group", a secret organization that controls everything. Unexpectedly, he becomes the heir of an ancient brass key. In a strange incident, his left leg turns into cold crystal - this is both a curse and his "true eye" to see the true face of the world. The notes left by Yi Zheng guide the dangerous path to the truth of the "Source Point", and the key is the only pass. However, there are factions within the group, and Wen Yong, the rival of his adoptive father, is eyeing the key; what is even more frightening is that the "bone pickers" wandering in the shadows and the cold and ruthless gaze of the "observers" who are the embodiment of high-dimensional rules make every step of Yin Li step on the edge of the abyss. He is no longer a simple seeker, but has become a pawn in the game between various forces, and a sample for "observers" to test the limits of human beings. Partnering with intelligence dealer Lao Gou and scholar Professor Qin, Yin Li gradually uncovers the shocking truth during his escape: the disappearance of his adoptive father is closely related to the ancient secret of the "Source Point", and the true power of the key is related to the balance of the entire reality. When he finally stood in front of the "Source Point", he faced not only the final choice left by his adoptive father, but also a shakeup of the rules of the entire world. Become a "guardian" or become a slave to the rules? In this chess game where obsession and truth are the bets, he must find his own move.
