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.

After muttering to herself, Zhou Yue looked at Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and the others. As she pondered, she said, "If it's simply a Superior Heartless having the ability to create illusions or Zhang Jin seeing a dragon during his mental breakdown, it wouldn't be too surprising. However, it's indeed a little coincidental when the two are combined."

"There are other explanations. This isn't conclusive evidence." Shang Jianyao was just short of having a pipe in his mouth.

Zhou Yue wrote it off as him being usually like that, so she didn't mind. She nodded slightly and said, "Indeed. It's possible that Zhang Jin has heard our preaching; it's also possible that the Superior Heartless had a certain level of interest in the Old World's dragon culture before it contracted the Heartless disease. But no matter what, I have to report this matter and see what the Dream Protectors think."
