To save his younger sister, who is terminally ill, impoverished student Ye Ran is forced into a genetic war between top-tier conglomerates. The awakening of a military-grade nanocore lets him see the world's hidden codes: data traps lurking behind top students' exam papers, the muscle resonance frequencies on the basketball court, even mutant bacteria wriggling inside human wounds.
By day, he is a lowly nobody bullied on campus. By night, he becomes a gene hunter prowling between neon lights and bloodshed. The hypocritical mask worn by Lin Chen, heir to a family of doctors; the deadly birthmark of the Tang Group's heiress; and the mechanical assassins marked with the Night Owl insignia all point to Project Spark, which claimed his mother's life in a blaze seven years ago.
When quantum equations appear on the classroom blackboard and blood in the emergency room turns into a torrent of data, Ye Ran finally discovers that his sister's failing organs are the biological key to unlocking the forbidden zone of human evolution. And the silver-haired girl who keeps appearing at the edge of life and death has nanowire scars on her neck that are quantum-entangled with his own heartbeat...
