The Memory Thief and the Lawyer
About This Novel
When the cutting edge of technology attempts to tamper with the basic laws of the universe, and when the boundaries of contracts blur the boundaries between reality and illusion, who will protect the final bottom line of civilization? Zhou Shengjin, the heir to an ancient magic family and a top lawyer in the modern magic world, her life was originally running on a carefully planned track. A bizarre "consciousness uploading" case involved her in a whirlpool that subverted cognition. The moment her client, a top scientist, completed the digitalization of his consciousness, his existence itself was "logically deleted" in reality. It's not murder, but it's more complete than murder. This case with no murder weapon and no body points to a technology giant named "Theseus" and the "Paradox Engine", a taboo technology he developed that can partially rewrite the rules of physics. In order to pursue the truth, Zhou Shengjin must use all her powers: the impeccable legal magic in the court, the mysterious formations inherited by her family, and the true power of the candidate for the head of the family that she has been trying to escape. Behind her are her partners from the Star Observation Tower: probability manipulator Chloe, Magic King Vivian, and the unfathomable leader Leon. In front of her is the indestructible "rationality" barrier built by the entire modern scientific and technological civilization. In the ultimate lawsuit over the definition of existence, she will face her most dangerous enemy - a mad ideal seeking to replace the old gods with new ones. And when neither law nor magic can give an answer, the only thing she can rely on is the last words of advice given to her by her father, known as the "Night Watcher" from her homeland in the East.
