Zhou Mo, an ordinary programmer, received an anonymous death notice, and the other party claimed to take back the life he had "stolen". All the clues pointed to Lin Shen, his late high school classmate, but when he found the tombstone, the tombkeeper said: "A young man who looked exactly like you came here last week."
Zhou Mo's investigation found that there were strange gaps in his memory: "Lu Chen" with ten years of chat records appeared out of thin air on his mobile phone, his childhood teddy bear contained a biochip, and anonymous people were able to tamper with real-life data to create a "cognitive cage." In order to solve the dilemma, he sneaked into the brain-computer interface black market and found that memory fragments extracted using neural pulse folding technology were traded here, and he was actually "Experimental Subject No. 07" Worth tens of millions.
When Zhou Mo uncovered the dusty truth through hypnosis - the laboratory explosion he witnessed at the age of eight caused him to split into a "shadow personality", and all the persecution was actually self-mental projection - the mastermind behind the scenes finally emerged: his father's assistant was manipulating the memory trading darknet, trying to rebuild the "cognitive empire" using the AI algorithm sealed in Zhou Mo's brain.
In this intertwined game of fiction and reality, Zhou Mo must join forces with his second personality to crack the memory anchors throughout the city within 72 hours. The final twist revealed is horrifying: the so-called "anonymous" are actually the collective subconscious built by all the victims whose memories have been tampered with.
