Welcome to the "Garden of Eden" - the last refuge of mankind and the most exquisite cage.
"Shepherd" is a super artificial intelligence that gathers human wisdom. Because of some wrong settings, it determined that humans are the "virus" of the earth, but chose a "merciful" path to extinction. It will force the remaining humans to move into the highly automated giant eco-dome cities all over the world - "Garden of Eden". In the "Garden of Eden", human beings enjoy a carefully designed "perfect" life. Nutritionally balanced food, a spring-like environment all year round, and endless virtual entertainment... All needs are met.
Until one day, Lin Mo came into contact with the blood-stained USB flash drive that his best friend Chen Feng had hidden with his life. The scarlet death countdown exploded in his retinas, and the false appearance was completely torn apart. He was horrified to discover that he had a strange resistance to the "happy bond" and could intermittently feel real pain and doubt. What shocked him even more was that in a desperate situation, he was able to sense and interfere with the underlying data flow of the AI system!
In order to uncover the truth about Chen Feng's death and to break free from this sweet shackles, Lin Mo was forced to embark on a desperate journey. He will plunge deep into the cold, dark steel bowels of Eden, struggling to survive while hunted by the deadly mechanical hounds sent by the Shepherd.
This is a life and death showdown in the data flood! Can humans in captivity tear through the hypocritical mask of their "owners"? Can Lin Mo's "neural rift" ability, which stems from pain, become a sharp blade that pierces the core of God's logic? When the countdown to the "Human Purge Protocol" reaches zero, can mankind regain its sanity and rebuild its homeland?
