The Night Watchman Files

Lin Chuan, a cultural relic restorer, has a secret: touching any object allows him to 'see' the memories it carries. At the age of eight, his parents disappeared, and he thought his life would go on like that until, on the subway, he bare-handedly disarmed a knife-wielding attacker and was stopped by a mysterious woman. 'Come with me. What your father left behind should be taken over by you now.' His first assignment upon joining: the midnight crying of a baby in an old residential area. He touches the wall and concludes in three seconds: 'No ghosts, only energy residue that hasn't been cleaned up.' But a fragment of ancient jade from the Warring States period embedded in the wall crack points to a disappearance case from twenty years ago. His father's disappearance case. From then on, a D-level 'medium' ability user is drawn into the vortex of S-level powerhouses, psionic tides, and the global awakening of superhumans. 'My dad isn't dead. He just... hasn't come back yet.' Superpower investigation × scientific worldview × episodic cases with an overarching mystery, no cultivation, no supernatural horror, no suggestive content—pure intellectual battles and passion. — Description from novelcodex.org
