In the middle of the 22nd century, human beings achieved digital immortality of consciousness through the "Spirit Dome Network" technology. However, this technology, which is hailed as the ultimate leap forward for human civilization, has faced an unprecedented challenge. The body of the genius scientist Alpha Xiao, the father of the "Spiritual Realm", was found dead in a secret room. What is even more chilling is that the complete backup of his consciousness stored in the "Spiritual Realm" was completely and perfectly erased by an unknown method.
The person in charge of the case is Ling Shuo, an old-school police detective who still believes in "flesh and blood" and "realistic evidence". He has a tough style and despises the virtual world, but he has to cooperate with a top "spiritual infiltrator" - a mysterious and calm genius girl who has almost semi-digitized herself, **Ye Xi**.
One is chasing clues in the cold reality, and the other is salvaging the afterimages of broken consciousness in the vast ocean of data. They must join hands to enter the bizarre maze of consciousness built from the memories of the dead, and fight against a murderer who can shuttle between reality and virtuality, erasing all existence like a "code ghost". When the pieces of the truth were put together piece by piece, they discovered that behind the murder lay the original sin at the birth of the "Spiritual Dome Network" and a terrifying truth that could subvert the dream of "eternal life" for all mankind.
