In the new Chang'an City of 2077, mechanical prosthetics and cloud-based consciousness have reshaped human civilization, but they have also opened up the gap between reality and the realm of fantasy. When the whispers of the Cthulhu Myth penetrate into the quantum data flow, and when the realm of immortality is deconstructed into "computing power value" and "metalization rate", Su Ming, deputy leader of the special operations team of the Spiritual Realm Administration, is facing the most divisive survival challenge in history:
During the day, he is a calm mechanical monk. The prosthetic joints at the peak of the forging realm glow with cold light. When he uses nanorobots to repair the "ghost signal" in the subway pipes, he will easily coat the rusted steel bars with anti-matter coating;
At night, he is a container of chaotic consciousness, and the tentacles of the Old Ones appear on the iris of his left eye. He is forced to use the remaining pages of the Necronomicon as chips in the copy of Cthulhu to play a "sanity stud" death bet with the Star Familia.
And all of this started from the "collective disappearance of digitalized god-level monks" shrouded in the blood moon three years ago. When Su Ming triggered the Cthulhu copy entrance in an abandoned subway station, he discovered that his sister's consciousness was divided into 128 data fragments, hidden in the acid rain area of the "Dunwich Terror Incident", the dark matter server of the "Cyber Cultivation Secret Realm", and even the interstellar garbage patch of the "Fourth Natural Disaster Battlefield".
His "Cthulhu Analysis System" is both a salvation and a curse:
✔ San value mechanism: Every time you look directly at an indescribable object, the retina will generate permanent noise points, and those that return to zero will turn into "indescribable. Exe" composed of binary codes;
✔ Whispers of the past: The text message on your mobile phone at three o'clock in the morning may be a mission commission from Cthulhu, which can be redeemed after completing it"

There are too many proper nouns and it's a bit hard to understand. The plot is okay.
