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.

A silver-white recording pen with old and mottled patterns appeared on Jiang Baimian's table in the afternoon.

She looked up and asked Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, "Shall we listen now?"

Shang Jianyao—who had already stored the Six Senses Beads in his tactical backpack—thought for a few seconds and said, "Wait, let's close the door and turn off the lights first."

"Do you think this is a horror tale?" Jiang Baimian naturally wouldn't agree to such a lame request.

"It gives a sense of ritual," Shang Jianyao tried his best to explain.

"We're all in this together, so cut us some slack." Jiang Baimian patronized him as she switched the battery and pressed the recording pen's relevant button.
