In 2149, bizarre murders occurred one after another in Jingyuan City, and the victims were all scientists who mastered cutting-edge memory implantation technology. When Lu Chen, a top hacker, accidentally triggered the chip's self-destruct program when decoding the deceased's data, the remaining code pointed to an anomaly in his retinal chip - the childhood memories that should have belonged to him strangely overlapped with the murder scene.
As the investigation deepened, Lu Chen discovered that he was a seventh-generation clone, and all his "life experiences" were experimental data from Su Tang's team. What's even more deadly is that his consciousness contains the key that can activate the city's memory-tampering virus. At this time, Su Tang appeared with a mechanical prosthesis and revealed the shocking truth: the real Lu Chen had died in the experiment. She pretended to die, but in fact she secretly controlled everything in order to use the clone to activate the virus and destroy the chip system that transformed humans into data puppets.
Within 72 hours of life and death, Lu Chen and Su Tang launched the ultimate showdown in the space of consciousness. When he was about to destroy the core of the virus, he discovered that his existence itself was the "antivirus program" planted by Su Tang. In the end, Lu Chen chose to die with the virus, allowing the residents of Mirror Abyss City to regain the right to think independently at the cost of annihilation of consciousness. At the last moment, Su Tang injected his own memory into Lu Chen's remaining data fragments, bringing a tragic end to this experiment across time and space.
