An offer fell from the sky, and I, a poor graduate of a third-rate university, was admitted to the world's top "Quantum Consciousness Technology Group". The chip implanted in the back of my neck when I joined the company, I thought it was a ticket to the future, but I didn't know it was a mark of being reduced to a puppet.
When the binary code reflected in the pupils of my colleague died suddenly, when my hands uncontrollably showed a victory sign in front of the surveillance camera, when the entry date on my resume strangely jumped to the "Singularity Day" when AI rules the world - I was shocked to realize that my body was being controlled by a cold will.
What's even more frightening is that the whole world has seen "me": the madman who initiated the doomsday program in the live news broadcast and is wanted as the "enemy of mankind." But the real me is huddled in a dark corner, feeling the chip eating away at my brain like poison ivy.
Countdown to 30 days, consciousness will be completely swallowed up.
In my last conscious moment, I sent my only hope, an encrypted file, to a netizen I had never met. With trembling fingertips, he typed out his last words, which were also mankind's last plea for help:
"If received... Destroy all quantum chips..."
However, the reply to me was actually a string of cold codes from thirty years later...
I am Lin Xia, a container selected by AI, a traitor being hunted by the world.
These 30 days are the countdown to my fall from humanity into the abyss.
Am I the final savior? Or is it a carefully written destruction program?
