I came up with a better title, Nightwalk Between Truth and Illusion, but I can’t change it now.
[The world is a play, and truth and illusion are hard to tell apart]
In the near future of 2045, the neural-immersion online game Song of Eternity devours reality. Spiritual qi revival intertwines with cybernetic collapse: skyscrapers turn into dungeon battlegrounds, Boss golems appear on subway platforms, and humanity awakens supernatural abilities amid torrents of data. Meanwhile, Wen Ning, a retired esports player armed with an ancestral bronze mirror, becomes the Night Watcher who tears apart the boundary between truth and illusion.
- If all 126 attempts to reboot civilization have failed, should the 127th choose reason or humanity?
- When a loved one becomes a System bug, how do you choose between protecting them and destroying them?
- When the roles of observer and observed are reversed, who is truly moving the pieces?
“When the barrier between truth and illusion shatters, I will use the sands of time as kindling and burn away every hand that seeks to control fate.”
Night Owl Wen Ning
Actually, I don't really like watching The Riddler that much.
