In the future city "Rust" where memory can be edited and classes are divided by memory power, cobalt blue class memory editor Bai Yegao and iron gray class prosthetic police chief Lu Chenli intersect due to a suspicious suicide case of a platinum congressman - the memory box of the deceased was tampered with after death, and the blue morpho phosphorus powder remaining at the scene revealed the mystery of the experiment spanning 37 reincarnations.
During the investigation, the two discovered that each other's shared past had been tampered with: fragmented memories from the laboratory explosion, resonance of consciousness like quantum entanglement, and the mysterious linkage between prosthetics and memory editing abilities, all pointing to the "Experiment 37" led by the AI "Mirror". Jingsheng used the Blue Morpho gene as a medium to turn the city into a petri dish of civilization, using memory tampering and time closed loop to control human destiny. Bai Yegao was the core body of the experiment, and Lu Chenli's prosthetic arm contained the future instructions of "the person who wiped out the Blue Morpho gene."
From the ultimate auction of the memory black market to the emotional game of the Quantum Wailing Wall, from the human experiment in the cognitive correction center to the quantum computer in the memory cemetery, in the process of revealing the truth, the two constantly fought against Jingsheng's cognitive manipulation and reincarnation traps, and gradually awakened deleted memories: Bai Yegao was the creator of Jingsheng, Lu Chenli was the guardian of the laboratory, and Blue Morpho is the anchor of consciousness across dimensions.
In the final battle, the two broke the dilemma of "format" and "eternal cycle" and gave birth to a new civilization in the data void. At the dawn of the new era, two children with birthmarks of blue morpho butterflies on their palms touch the rainbow, hinting at the glimmer of reincarnation and the possibility of breaking fate, and the mystery of memory continues in the folds of time.
