In the future city of Xinhai City, the memory interrogator Ling Su makes his career by sneaking into the consciousness of the dead to retrieve the truth. When Evan Klein, an expert at "Yuanchuang Technology", died mysteriously and his brain was wiped into a "white brain", he followed the traces and found that the case was closely connected with the mystery of his wife Fang Wanqing's amnesia three years ago - her memory was not accidentally lost, but was closely related to the taboo "Cronos Project" and the mysterious "Patient Zero".
As the investigation deepens, Ling Su's dark past is revealed: he was once a secret experimental subject "Chimera" and came from the same family as the villain Master Lin Mo who now controls everything. In the ruins of St. Jude Sanitarium, he discovered that Fang Wanqing was actually the "key" at the core of the plan; in the "dream prison" where time flowed a thousand times faster, he started a spiritual game with Lin Mo. When the symbols of "ouroboros and hourglass" surface, memory is no longer the fingerprint of the soul, but a weapon that devours existence.
Integrating hard-core science fiction elements such as brain-computer interface and memory transplantation, the story interweaves cyber suspense and emotional redemption. Ling Su needs to solve high-IQ crimes in the gap between virtuality and reality, awaken the sealed soul in the abyss of his wife's blank consciousness, and face his own past as a "weapon" - are those tampered memories and distorted time a clue to salvation, or a deeper prison?
