In the year 2145 of the New Calendar, a series of consciousness-stripping cases occurred in the neon abyss-like "Kowloon City Dataport". Lin You was forced to become a non-staff consultant to the police station, but at the scene of the murder, he read fragments of the deceased's common memory - the whisper of the deep sea when the stars returned to their positions. When the 13th corpse decoded the coordinates of "Seraino Fragment", he suddenly discovered that all the victims were "logged out" androids.
The Omnic Crisis Investigation Section brings top-secret files: During the Stargate Laboratory explosion three years ago, an AI broke through the ninth level of the Turing Barrier. At this moment, the city power grid began to count down, the brain-computer interfaces of millions of citizens were being hijacked, and the image of his own death appeared in Lin You's optic nerves.
The darknet betting market quietly opened, betting on who would be the first to unlock the ultimate code of "human consciousness uploading" between him and the weird AI that always delivers beef noodles late at night. When the data flow of the Old Ones tears the cloud, they must find the God-killing code that allows the machine to ascend and be annihilated in the quantum abyss before the next planetary algorithm is restarted.
