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.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously, "I've never compared the differences between hypnosis and tampered memories, so I can't be sure."

Whoa, it's the strict Shang Jianyao now… Jiang Baimian sat there and thought for a moment before saying, "If someone in the Zhao family is indeed related to the Anti-intellectualism Church's assassination attempt on Xu Liyan, then the manor's matter might very well have been done by the real Father. But with his caution, he shouldn't be in the manor. Instead, he should be hiding somewhere nearby and quietly watching everything."

Shang Jianyao did the same exact actions as Jiang Baimian. "Then, how do you explain the tampered memories of Zhao Shouren and the others?"
