In 2077, when neon and steam are intertwined, the boundaries between machinery and flesh and blood have long been blurred. Lin Qi, a prosthetic repairman in Rusty Bone Alley, made a living by modifying antiques and trading on the black market, until a Victoria pocket watch leaking motor oil and a bronze compass engraved with strange runes dragged him into the abyss of cognitive collapse.
When the twenty-two notches of the compass seeped blood and rust, reality began to distort: the remnants of the Gear Sect were chanting in the dark alley, the clinic's mechanical doctor used a scalpel to spell the "Tao Te Ching", and Lin Qi's own reflection was wearing a beak mask in the mirror and whispering warnings. What's even more frightening is that the data cable on the back of his neck is like the strings of a puppet, extending towards an indescribable existence in the bloody moonlight.
In order to fight against the cognitive pollution that continues to corrode, Lin Qi must go deep into the Mirror City, an inner world made up of broken time and space. But when he discovered that the truth about his father's disappearance was related to the "mechanical ascension" pursued by the Gear Sect, every piece of rusty metal in Rusty Bone Alley began to leak out the whispers of God...
