Worldview
Bureau Nine — also known as the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs — holds jurisdiction over things that should not exist. It presents verifiable anomalous events through documentary-style archival reports: pile foundations that refused to go down, a monk’s death and a bridge’s opening nine days apart, the only pillar among thousands adorned with nine dragons. Seventy percent is verifiable real events, people and data; thirty percent is the institution’s own classified framework. Every file is calm and restrained — it states facts only, never draws conclusions.
The same event often generates two contradictory records, neither of which can be disproven: one is the triumph of science, the other a revelation of hidden forces. All three pieces of information are true. Whether they are connected — the archive draws no conclusion. Truth hangs suspended between fact and anomaly, unresolvable.
Visual style: Tarkovsky-inspired documentary realism, slow cinema aesthetic — photorealistic still frames, a nearly monochromatic palette of Mossy Green, Cold Grey, Damp Brown, oxidized Copper and faded Ochre, a single warm practical light in darkness, 1990s documentary footage feel, subtle film grain.

TA-0019 · Shenzi Junction
1995. Pile driving began in the second half of the year. The North-South Elevated Road opened on December 10. 1995 Shanghai Dragon Pillar pile foundation anomaly: piles that would not go down, two contradictory reports, a monk’s passing and the bridge opening — nine days apart. Cross-examination found: Master Zhenchan passed away on December 1 — nine days before the December 10 opening. This is the only decorated pillar among thousands in Shanghai. All three facts are true. The archive draws no conclusion. Status: Open (Unsolved). Related files: [Redacted].

World Rules
Open-Ended Principle
The core doctrine of the archive: 70% verifiable fact, 30% institutional framing. Present evidence only — never draw conclusions. Never say it is real. Never say it is false. Leave the question open.
Classification & Status System
Four clearance tiers (A · B · C · D), case statuses of Unsolved / Archived / Sealed / [Redacted], and a standardized header — case number, coordinates, category and clearance level, e.g. TA-0019.
Code Names Only
Personnel are identified only by constellation code names — Dou-03 of the Black Tortoise, Jiao-07 of the Azure Dragon. No real names are used. The Bureau itself remains the greatest mystery of all.
Works from This World
Four works have been generated from this world — 3 web experiences (a classified intranet portal, an East Asia investigations site, and a personnel relationship network) and a documentary montage video of four anomalous locations. The world is the source; works are its branches.
