Night Watcher Archives

Lin Chuan, a cultural relic restorer, has a secret: when he touches any object, he can "see" the memories it carries. His parents disappeared when he was eight, and he thought he'd simply have to live with it for the rest of his life. Then, on the subway, he disarmed a man with a cleaver using his bare hands, only to find his way blocked by a mysterious woman.

"Come with me. It's time you took over what your father left behind."

His first assignment comes as soon as he joins: investigate the sound of a baby crying in an old residential compound at midnight. After touching the wall for three seconds, he concludes, "There's no ghost here. Just energy waste that wasn't cleaned up properly."

But a fragment of ancient jade from the Warring States period, embedded in a crack in the wall, points to a disappearance case from twenty years ago.

His father's disappearance.

From then on, a D-rank "Catalyst" ability user is swept into the vortex of S-rank powerhouses, psionic tides, and covert battles between awakened people across the globe.

"My dad isn't dead. He's just... not back yet."
