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.

Embers Ad Infinitum

The Old Task Force originally thought that encountering the mechanical monk, Jingfa, was a matter of coincidence and bad luck—Jingfa had happened to pass by the Blackmarsh Wilderness's steelworks factory ruins and entered to search for the fated. In the end, he encountered Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong and heard a woman's voice through their walkie-talkies, thus going crazy.

Excluding the reason why Jingfa—who was mainly active in the Monk Wastelands—suddenly came to the Blackmarsh Wilderness, the rest didn't seem to be problematic. The development adhered to basic logic, so it was just a case of the Old Task Force being unlucky.

Jiang Baimian and the others didn't find anything strange about it after the incident. Humans always encountered all kinds of people and all kinds of unlucky matters. Even if there wasn't Jingfa, there might be other powerhouses.

They now suddenly realized that some of the coincidences in this matter might not be coincidences.
