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.

"To stir up such a storm… What did those people do…?" another of Selma's companions, Tolle, asked in surprise.

They had been in First City for many years, and it was rare for the Hand of Order to cause such a commotion in order to pursue a target. Although the other party didn't go into detail, a description like 'a storm in the city' still gave Selma and the others a direct visualization of the situation, albeit a vague one.

Shang Jianyao—who was fiddling with the fire—answered for Jiang Baimian. "A grand plot against First City."

"What?" Sandro and Denise—who were in charge of security—blurted out. They could've written off what he said as a joke, but combining it with the Hand of Order's reaction, the problem appeared rather serious.

Shang Jianyao kindly explained, "This is the mission description. It's a one-sided accusation by the Hand of Order, so it might not be true."
