The eternal gamble of time in the maze of memory - when memory becomes a bargaining chip and time becomes a gamble, can you keep the last "I" in the eternal maze?
The corpse in the convenience store freezer opened its eyes.
Seventeen-year-old night shift clerk Shen Duo never thought that a late-night shift would lead him to a fatal gamble that spanned time and space - the corpse's right arm was embedded with a blue mechanical heart, which was a "time memory" that could cut memories into sellable pieces. The black mycelium wrapped around the corpse was using his life as fuel to devour the countdown.
"If you want to live, cut the body open." In the holographic projection, the financial owner wearing a Venetian mask made a mechanical laugh.
Shen Duo finally understood - they were pawns implanted with false memories, lambs to be slaughtered in the game of time, and each other's final salvation.
Under the visual impact of cyberpunk + Cthulhu style, the story explores the battle between the authenticity of memory and existence:
If love and hate can be deleted at will, will the soul be left with only empty codes?
If time becomes the plaything of the rich, can ants tear their way through the cracks in the rules?
Shen Duo and Lin Yuan travel through the collapsing time and space, seize the time hourglass on the ice planet, cut off the memory chain in the mechanical fortress, and finally face the leader of the "Time Wheel" - an aging scientist with the same gene as him. When the button that detonated the core of time was pressed, Shen Duo chuckled: "Use my disappearance in exchange for everyone's freedom." On the streets of the new time and space, the young man picked up a blue chip, and when he raised his eyes, there were stars twinkling in his eyes.
