Cuttlefish That Loves Diving

In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!
Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy—literally crazy, at least that's what the doctors said. Living in a huge, underground building of Pangu Biology, one of the few remaining factions in this apocalyptic wasteland known as the Ashlands, he acts in unfathomable ways that's head-scratching, comical, and shrewd. So is he really crazy? Probably.
He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity.
Intricately tied to this dream is something everyone in the Ashlands believes in: Deep in a particular ruin buried away by danger and famine, a path leading to a new world awaits. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door.
There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely. 
The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away. 
The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers.
There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.
Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That's the New World.

Viel? Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen and the others in surprise. The mission is over just as soon as it began?

Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and struck it against his left palm with a regretful expression.

Before he could show his skills, the target had already run out!

All of them had learned the Red River language. Even Bai Chen knew a little due to the overarching environment. Although their standards were different, there was no problem with basic literacy.

At this moment, Viel answered Renato's question with a smile. "I've been in the ventilation duct the entire time. None of you know the essence of hiding—choose a place and stay still. I change locations depending on the situation. When you come over, I'll go elsewhere. When you leave, I'll return. The only problem is that one has to learn to go in circles. I can't let you hear me while I'm crawling about."
