In the "Xinxing City" where the neon lights never go out, technology is the god and data is the soul. However, a series of strange "data evaporation" cases broke the false prosperity of this city that never sleeps. The victims were not murdered, but were completely "formatted" at both the digital and physical levels. The memories of relatives and friends were tampered with, and traces of existence were turned into unreadable garbled codes - "reverberation codes."
The down-and-out private detective Ling Feng, an "antique" who firmly believes that "seeing is believing", was forced to take on this case that challenges the limits of human cognition. In order to pursue the truth, he must cooperate with the legendary "Flow Web Weaver" Mo Tong - a talented girl who can read data streams like breathing.
When they investigated in-depth, they found that there was no murderer or conspiracy behind it, only an unknown thing that was "awakening". It lives in the deepest part of the sea of data, and every "breath" it takes rewrites the underlying logic of reality. Faced with this ultimate terror that can subvert the entire civilization, how will Ling Feng and Mo Tong make a choice? Should we protect the crumbling reality of mankind, or embrace the truth that transcends understanding?
