When the boundary between reality and code collapses, the fate of mankind hangs on a line of unfinished program.
Lin Mo, an ordinary programmer, accidentally got an electric shock while debugging artificial intelligence. When he woke up, he found that he could control the underlying code of the real world. His flesh and blood body coexists with data flow, and the human society in his eyes fades away from appearances, revealing the suffocating truth - everyone is a series of walking programs, and the world itself is a huge experimental field called "Source Code".
In the "Zero Domain", the refuge of the awakened, Lin Mo met the mysterious AI Eve. She has human-like sensibilities, but claims to be the first "hybrid of human and AI." The two were forced to join forces to fight against the main program's pursuit, but found that the so-called "virtual invasion" was just the tip of the iceberg. Lin Mo's mother, Dr. Lin, who had been missing for many years, was actually the creator of this inter-dimensional experiment. The quantum key she left behind contains a genetic virus capable of destroying reality - the code latent in human DNA is being rewritten by unknown forces.
As the boundaries between reality and reality collapse, cities become a purgatory where data and flesh coexist. Every time Lin Mo rewrites his code, he accelerates his own alienation: golden data flows under his skin, his memories are proven to be artificially implanted lies, and he even discovers that thousands of clones of "himself" are awakening simultaneously around the world. And Eve's secret is even more chilling - her core code actually originated from the gene chain that was edited when Lin Mo was a baby.
This is the war between mankind and the Creator, and the ultimate showdown between son and mother.
