Everyone Scrambles for Points, I Take First Place by Redressing Injustices
In the alternate world’s Fifth Branch of the Anomaly Thought Administration, grassroots investigator Lin Yuan is constantly suppressed by his colleague Zhou Zhen. Leveraging his elder relatives’ influence, Zhou Zhen repeatedly intercepts Lin Yuan’s missions and seizes Echo Points. As a result, Lin Yuan ranks dead last in points for half a year and faces dismissal. At his wit’s end, Lin Yuan accidentally binds to the Obsession Purification System. The system grants him a unique ability: instead of force‑suppressing echoes, he can earn massive points and thought‑energy resources by redressing grievances for wronged spirits. From then on, Lin Yuan embarks on his journey of righting wrongs, traveling across past and present to resolve long‑unsolved cases. He gathers evidence for murdered girl Su Wan and brings the killer to justice. He helps Tang‑Dynasty woman Liu Ruyan retrieve her betrothal jade hairpin and lay to rest her thousand‑year‑old yearning. He infiltrates a psychiatric hospital, exposes illegal cross‑border human experiments, and vindicates the wronged expert Chen Airen. He also clears the names of Republican‑era opera diva Su Meier and massacre survivor Gu Yan. Through these cases, Lin Yuan steadily elevates his power and gains the trust of Wang Hao, who once served Zhou Zhen. The two begin working as partners. Burning with jealousy over Lin Yuan’s skyrocketing points, Zhou Zhen repeatedly schemes against him. He even colludes with evil cultivators to ambush Lin Yuan, attempting to murder him and seize his opportunities. During the General Administration’s review hearing, Wang Hao presents complete video evidence. Zhou Zhen’s crimes of stealing credit and plotting against a colleague are fully revealed. His powers are stripped away, and he is sent to hard‑labor camps, while his powerful backer is suspended for thorough investigation.
