Hidden in the smell of disinfectant water are rules colder than death.
Neurosurgeon Lin Shen wakes up from a coma in a car accident and finds that the Longguo Hospital where his wife Su Qing works has been turned into a mechanical cemetery: the elevator numbers turn into fatal codes in the mirror, the metal skeleton under the nurse's white coat glows with blue light, and the belly of a pregnant woman gives birth to a mechanical embryo with the sound of gears. The barcode that appeared on his chest revealed the truth: this accident was the "Adapter Activation Ceremony" of the Yongye Group, and his genes were actually the key to controlling 127 regulated hospitals around the world.
In the core control room on the negative fourth floor, Su Qing is suspended as the last conscious body of mankind - she is both the voluntarily transformed Experiment 001 and the savior who hides the key with a rose tattoo. And their child, Adapter No. 47, Is being transformed into the living core of the Rule Matrix by the "Twin Project".
From the curse of baby bracelets in the obstetrics and gynecology department to the mechanical sandworm nests in the desert, Lin Shen approaches the truth while deciphering the rules: Humanity is being transformed into an "organ bank." When the red light in hospitals around the world lights up for the seventh time, he must make a choice: become the god of the system, or activate the self-destruct program and perish together with his wife and children?
Amidst the sound of the mechanical heart pumping, the glimmer of Su Qing's wedding ring revealed the answer: What is tougher than the rules is the glimmer of human nature. At the moment when the palm prints of the twin adapters coincide, the ultimate experiment of the Yongye Group comes to light - are humans prisoners of the rules, or are they the key to breaking the rules?
His wife's dying warning, "Don't believe in luminous things," became the starting point of strange stories and the password for redemption.
