When the bronze dice spins out the "Mozi" code in the stomach of the deceased, and when the quantum ripples reflect the Jixia star map from thousands of years ago, a civilizational life and death situation spanning time and space quietly begins. Criminal investigation consultant Wu Ming and forensic doctor Xiao Yu, the pair who survived the orphanage fire, were forced to face the taboo truth of twenty years ago - they were "memory containers" selected by the Mohist family, and the civilizational fire of hundreds of schools of thought was buried in their spines.
There are holographic projections of bamboo slips from the Warring States Period floating at the scene of the serial murders, the "No Attack Order" tattoos remaining in the pupils of the deceased, and the quantum mirror of the Mohist machine city sleeping underground in the modern city. The bronze dice in Wu Ming's hand can rewrite the laws of physics, Xiao Yu's scalpel can cut open the folds of time and space, and the scars on their collarbones are the key to activating the Nine Questions of the Universe.
This is a battle for the inheritance of civilization genes. Behind the Mohist experiment of "universal love" lies a thousand-year sandbox that controls human history; the resurrection of the AI of the military's killing array hides the ultimate algorithm that rewrites the nature of war; and the collapse of the doctor's meridian universe is dragging everyone into the ancient secret realm of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
When Wu Ming dropped the "aggressive as fire" ant-nosed money in the eyes of Wall Street's copper bulls, and when Xiao Yu used a scalpel to cut open the movable type cage of "Tiangong Kaiwu", they finally saw the truth at the end of the chessboard - the so-called hundreds of schools of thought were nothing but "thinking viruses" spread by higher-dimensional civilizations.
The clicking sound of the bronze mechanism reappears, and the twelve golden men rise from the abyss of history.
Can they rewrite the genes of civilization before time is annihilated?
