When memory becomes a detachable part, reality becomes the most expensive luxury.
The neon lights of Fogang City are immersed in the sea fog that never dissipates. Memory replacement specialist Lin Shen runs a special business deep in the clinic-cutting scandals for politicians, transplanting happiness for the rich, and selling forgetfulness to the desperate. Until one rainy night, the mysterious woman Su Xia carrying a military memory chip broke into his world. The red mole on his left eye perfectly coincided with the bloody laboratory that appeared repeatedly in his nightmares.
When Lin Shen read the forbidden memory map in the chip without authorization, he discovered that behind the laboratory fire seven years ago, the screams of 248 experimental subjects were roaring through the torrent of data. What's even more fatal is that the anti-rejection pills he takes every night are actually the carrier of the memory virus implanted by the "Eternal Era" company. At this moment, the city's electronic screens began to count down, and 46% of the citizens' pupils showed blue light from the data flow - their memories were being rewritten into a unified version.
In this game with technology giants, Lin Shen and Su Xia gradually discovered that each other's memories were nested like mirror images: the scientist who was shot in her memory was the mother who committed suicide in his memory; the corridor of the laboratory where he dreamed back at midnight had the barcode number on the back of her neck engraved on it. When the two attempted a dangerous two-way memory fusion, the hacker who hacked into the system suddenly issued a warning: "You are the virus itself."
Deep in the sea fog, the needlepoint of the tailor of memory hangs over the last reality of human civilization. When Lin Shen held Su Xia's trembling hand and pressed the memory clear button, the whole city's hippocampus encoders lit up red at the same time - is this redemption the key to breaking the imprisonment, or is it the end written by the mastermind behind the scenes?
