A hundred years ago, gray fog swept across the globe, leaving Jiuzhou as humanity's only refuge. Eight years ago, ten-year-old Su Wang stared directly at the nine-headed eldritch god above the blood moon. Blood streamed from his eyes, and the world judged him to be severely schizophrenic. He was locked away in a psychiatric hospital for eight years, becoming a laughingstock, dismissed as a lunatic.
No one knows that Su Wang is a transmigrator, gifted with an impossibly powerful ability to slip out of sync with time and space. Every day, he can unlock his own twenty-fourth hour and one minute of absolute time stop! Hidden in his mind is also the [Forbidden Asylum], a prison for the old gods.
When his eight-year sentence ends, Su Wang and his close friend accidentally fall into the death-wheel barrier of an S-rank anomaly. The Night Watch Bureau squad on the scene is trapped in a dead end, on the verge of despair.
Facing a wager where death is certain, Su Wang watches the clock approach midnight and laughs maniacally. "I bet there are no bullets in the god's gun!"
Midnight arrives, and the world instantly stops. Su Wang calmly makes his move, empties every bullet from the cursed gun, then turns around and suppresses the anomaly, perfectly containing the forbidden object! The deadly cursed gun, which used to drain its wielder's lifespan, is transformed into a top-tier divine weapon that restores health without limit and grants bonus attributes for every enemy killed.
From then on, the Jiuzhou Night Watch Bureau gains a lunatic actor with a dramatic contrast between his personas. In public, he risks his life and pretends to defend the world with his dying breath, earning the admiration of all as a tragic guardian and moving the entire squad. In private, he gleefully rifles through corpses for loot in stopped time, toys with the old gods, and casually uses forbidden divine weapons to fend off enemies.
Su Wang gets by in the world on his acting skills, passionately playing the selfless hero while thinking only of his mission bonuses. With his own power, he stirs up a storm across the entire world of anomalies.
