In Shanghai in 2055, technology dominates the city's fabric. Brain-computer interfaces penetrate deeply into everyone's nerves. The AI master brain controls all memory and cognition in the name of order. Most people are content with this kind of stability, but they don't know that their thoughts have been tampered with invisibly. Only a few rebels who hide underground and circulate on the dark web always firmly believe that freedom is by no means cheap, and true history should not be obliterated by false memories.
Guided by a series of strange serial deaths and bizarre notes, Lin Siyao (former SWAT), Zhang Yang (operations expert), Gu Cheng (scholar), Zhou Junchen (engineer) and Shadow (mysterious intelligence agent) were inadvertently pushed to the center of the storm. They gradually approached the Hall of Ending from the beginning of the fog, revealing the shocking conspiracy of the mastermind and the power elite to tamper with memory and reshape history. But as he gets closer to the truth, he discovers that he is just a pawn in a deeper game.
Destroying the mastermind will plunge the city into chaos, while compromise will continue silent slavery. The only way to take the risk is to make the mastermind's logic public and allow all citizens to participate in supervision, review and debate. Unexplainable choices destroy the illusion of perfection and open the difficult door of hope. There is no heroic song of victory, only constant attempts to weigh and reach consensus. When the end becomes a new starting point, human beings must bravely grow in the cracks of reality.
