When time becomes currency, memories are the price.
In Xinyuancheng, a cyberpunk metropolis of neon and steel, corporate conglomerates wield power over technology and life itself. Lu Yin, a low-level sanitation worker, finds a bronze pocket watch in a dump, unaware that it is the key to opening the “Time Abyss,” a fractured dimension devouring reality.
Forced to awaken the ** [Time Moth] ability, Lu Yin discovers that every time he stops time, he randomly loses a memory. Worse still, he is a clone of Luo Tianming**, the head of a corporate dynasty, created to serve as a vessel for the “Immortality Project.”
With help from the mysterious hacker White Crow, Lu Yin joins the resistance group known as the “Night Watch.” As he uncovers the truth behind the Time Abyss, he learns that it holds twelve sequence abilities left behind by an ancient civilization, each granting the power to rewrite reality. But with the corporations on his tail, Abyss Beasts hunting him, and the pocket watch steadily consuming his memories, Lu Yin’s escape becomes a brutal race against his own erasure.
“You spend memories to buy time, then use time to search for memories.” At last, standing before a rift in the Time Abyss, Lu Yin must make the ultimate choice: become the god of a new world, or remain the last human who remembers the old one.
"The stunning fusion of cyberpunk and Cthulhu, the settings of memory trading and time hunting are fascinating, and the protagonist's struggle between humanity and divinity is extremely tense!"
This work perfectly blends cyberpunk and the Cthulhu mythology with amazing imagination, creating a strange world where memory can be traded and time can be hunted. This setting not only brings visual shock, but also points directly to the philosophical dilemma - when memory can be traded and time can be hunted, can human existence still be defined? In the collision of technology and terror, the work shows suffocating tension, which can be called a stunning work of Cyber Cthulhu. Five-star praise!
Very good. I am listening to the book and give the author a thumbs up.
It's a bit brain-burning and my thinking is a little jumpy, but it's worth recommending. Come on, author.
Brain-burning masterpiece! Every page subverts the limits of cognition!
Awesome, awesome, super pretty!
