Paranormal Investigation Archives

Science is an accurate map of a known territory, not the entire territory of the world. Shi Fenghai, a former elite member of the special investigation team, was exiled to the vast archives on the third underground floor of the city bureau because he insisted on tracking down the "unexplainable details" in the mysterious deaths of three girls. Here, dusty case files and yellowed ancient books whisper at the same time, pointing to the same taboo noun: "the thing in the gap" - an ancient existence that is not a ghost, but can be awakened by wrong rituals and lurks in the gaps of cognition. When Ai Xue, a criminal psychology researcher who adheres to science, intervened, the two explorers had a fundamental collision. He was forced to believe in the vision in the mirror he saw with his own eyes; she tried to incorporate everything into a rationally understandable "phenomenon X". From confrontation to symbiosis, they must work together to decipher the rules of the next "gap" before it is opened under the cold eyes of bureaucrats and the risk of their own cognition being eroded. Because they gradually realize that the real horror is not the specific ghosts, but the back doors opened to the abyss by human beings using their rash curiosity as the key. This is an extreme criminal investigation carried out on the border between science and metaphysics, a fatal attempt to map the indescribable.
