At the end of my life as “Ayu, a 996 design slave in Shenzhen,” the last thing I saw was the surgical lamp above the operating table. Its light was cold, like the look in my girlfriend Lin Ya’s eyes and the force with which her lover, Zhao Zhe, held down my hands. They called it an “accident,” sacrificing my life for their future.
I thought that was the end.
But when I opened my eyes again amid the acrid stench of blood and dust, I found myself in the ruins of a city after civilization’s collapse in 2100. A sharp shriek rang out from the street corner. A little ghoul wreathed in greedy black smoke came lunging at me, drooling. At that very moment, a cold electronic voice sounded in my mind:
[Bluff Them Into Submission System activated.]
[Newbie mission: Survive the “Greedy Little Ghoul.”]
[Core rule: As long as you can make an intelligent being believe your lie, the System will make it real.]
I was a hapless fool who had just been murdered by a “lie,” and now I had to survive by telling lies. I didn’t know whether this was fate’s most vicious mockery or the opening act of the grandest revenge spanning a century. Nor did I know that every demon I slew was a forced “physical salvation” of the evils in the real world.
This is a story about a programmer using “code logic” to compile “metaphysical laws.”
How a con artist becomes a savior.
How an ordinary man... repairs the Way of Heaven.
