Gray Line

Qingjiang City's aura is recovering, and strange things happen frequently, but they are always quickly erased from the news. Lin Zhou, a night shift operator, was just an ordinary person carrying rent and arrears. It wasn't until he encountered the "three-minute gap" in the computer room and picked up a broken scroll and a cracked jade pendant in an abandoned building that he discovered that there was a secret "gray line" in the city - a network of interests that connected the official disposal system, underground cultivation circles and capital families. He has no talent plug-ins, only prudence, records and a breath of truth that he can barely hold on to. Night shifts, trial and error, and backlash turned him from a "person who sees anomalies" to a "person targeted by anomalies"; from a peripheral collaborator to a player in the game. The wave of awakening is coming, and there is only a thin layer of paper between the "help" and "management" of the pilot camp, and the spiritual energy wave is like a tide pushing up the threshold of the whole city. Some people treat people as samples, some people treat anomalies as business, and some people just want to survive. Above this gray line, what Lin Zhou learned was not magical powers, but advancement and retreat, relief and choices: who to save, who to let go, who to tell the truth or to swallow. In the practice of ordinary people, breaking through the realm is never glorious, but the price is never absent.
