In the near-future cyber city "New Arc City", the consciousness uploading technology has matured, and humans can gain eternal life in the virtual world "Eden". However, a sudden "consciousness sleep" plague begins to spread in "Eden". The selected users will fall into a deep coma that cannot be awakened, and their physical bodies in reality will also fail.
The protagonist Gu Chuan is a promising consciousness architect, and his girlfriend Lin Xi is one of the first batch of "sleepers". In order to save his lover, and also to clear his own injustice - it was widely rumored that the architecture he designed had a backdoor that led to this disaster - Gu Chuan was forced to become a consciousness stalker. He must personally sneak into the depths of the bizarre and on the verge of collapse of the sleepers' consciousness to find the mysterious "warden" who imprisons them here.
As the investigation deepened, Gu Chuan discovered that the conscious world of every sleeper was like a carefully designed cage, and the structural blueprints of these cages were surprisingly similar to a taboo study on "consciousness correction" that he had sealed many years ago. He gradually realized that this was not a simple technical failure or virus attack, but a carefully planned conspiracy. What he has to face is not only an enemy hiding in the dark, but also his dusty past and the deepest darkness of human nature.
