Huo Niu - Immortal Inn - Lumen

"Fairy Inn" Shen Moyan once worked as a recorder in the Talisman Division of Heaven. He used a pen to write down the list of living beings in the three realms, but he didn't know that what he wrote was not a record, but a seal that locked all living beings. After being demoted to the lower world, he opened a "Fairy Inn" to take in all the gods, ghosts and human beings who had nowhere to go - those beings that were judged to be redundant, inefficient and unqualified by the "listing system". He met the shadowless Yaksha Hong, the fox fairy Xiaojiu who was being hunted, the weasel spirit Huang Xiaoqi who came to monitor but chose to confess, and countless sentient beings queuing up who just wanted a name and a "proof of existence." When the "self-cleaning program" representing the system's highest will came, Shen Moyan burned his three thousand years of memory to build a defense line. The truth is far colder than deletion. Xie Xuan, the mastermind behind the scenes, revealed before his death that everything was an "existential experiment" that lasted for three thousand years. The directory is the experimental field, all living beings are the experimental subjects, and emotions are the variables to be analyzed. Everything Shen Moyan is guarding may just be the lines of observation logs in the system database. The pen is hovering and the roster is nearly full. Shen Moyan faced the ultimate question: In a world set as an "experiment", what is the meaning of records when knowing that everything will eventually be formatted? This is not a story about victory. This is a story about choosing to record, protect, and love between absolute rationality and absolute absurdity. All living beings are here, the post house is here, and the pen is there. This is "existence" itself, the gentlest resistance to "nothingness".
