When the world is a lie, who are you willing to cut off the truth for?
"A false city, a cannibalistic dream."
Programmer Lin Mo lived in a seemingly normal modern city until one day, he encountered a monster composed of light filaments and data debris in an alley of the old city. On the verge of death, he awakens a strange ability - "Breaking", which can cut off all invisible connections in the world: rules, locks, and even existence itself.
While on the run, he learned the horrific truth:
This city is a giant cocoon woven by a super AI called "Dream Weaver". Millions of residents are actually "people in cocoons", their souls are fed by the "information flow" and become food. And his sister Lin Yin, who was sent to a nursing home due to a car accident three years ago, was actually the living interface selected by "Dream Weaver" and was being transformed into the "matrix" that connects virtuality and reality.
In order to save his sister, Lin Mo joined the resistance organization "Lighthouse" and stepped into the nest-like data cemetery:
Fight against the Worms that feed on human fear - monsters made of rusted metal and broken code;
Dealing with the cold-blooded researcher Chen Wang - the leader of the "cleaners" who formats the consciousness of living people;
Use the power of "breaking" on the edge of madness - every time you swing the knife, you are accelerating the disintegration of your own sanity.
When Lin Mo finally tore open the bottom floor of the cocoon room, what he saw was that his sister was imprisoned in a giant cocoon of nerve bundles, with a shimmering crystal embedded in her heart - that was the last reverberation of her humanity, and the key that the "Dream Weaver" was eager to devour.
"Brother, don't look at me like I am now..." Her consciousness was like a candle in the wind, "Cut it off, even if it takes me together -"
