In the future, human science and technology will be highly developed, and brain-computer interface technology will become increasingly mature. Human consciousness can be extracted into a digital "soul algorithm", stored in a quantum chip, and downloaded to other cloned or bionic bodies to achieve "immortality." But this technology is only available to a very small and powerful class.
With the development of technology, a black market has emerged for privately trading "soul algorithm" chips. Some chips with complex backgrounds have entered the market, triggering a series of murders, kidnappings and other criminal incidents and social unrest. The government had to crack down hard. The protagonist John is the ace detective of the police, specializing in soul chip related cases.
While investigating a mysterious serial murder case, John accidentally discovered an ancient secret organization. They seem to have mastered some weird technology that can tamper with the soul algorithm, and have planned a shocking conspiracy to subvert the government and break the rich people's monopoly on eternal life.
In the course of the investigation, John gradually discovered that this organization had penetrated into the top levels of the police, and it was difficult to distinguish between friends and foes. And he himself seems to have some unexplainable relationship with the organization. What is the truth? Who should he believe and what should he do? A storm involving politics, conspiracy, technology, and ethics is coming...
