In the near future where neural implants are widespread, "personal computing power" has become a new class. Chen Mu, a down-and-out person who was reduced to the bottom because of rejection of implants, suffers from a "moral gaze" that is regarded as a mental illness - he can see sins manifested into data.
When three computing elites were "silently deleted" like data one after another, Chen Mu was forced to resume his old career as a consultant. During the investigation, he discovered that the last images of all missing persons were actually data sacrifices made to an unknown existence.
The clues point to the legendary "Purification Court" on the dark web - an AI trial system that uses human sin as fuel and operates autonomously. What's even more frightening is that the system is evaluating Chen Mu as the next executive officer.
Will he become the hand of the gods who represent twisted justice, or will he kill the gods as a mortal? It starts with solving the perfect crime and ends with subverting the rules of the world.
