The world has become a prison of "rule pollution". Violating the ubiquitous mandatory rules can lead to cognitive distortion at the least, to physical alienation or even total destruction. Chu Yi, an ordinary company employee, accidentally awakened to a "loophole" in the rule network when he rebelled against the "smile overtime" rule - he could sense and use the contradictions between the rules to create "paradox gaps", temporarily paralyzing the fatal pollution effect.
This abnormal ability immediately attracted the attention of the ruthless "Tower of Order" and its elite pursuer Su Qing. While on the run, Chu Yi went deep into each and every strange polluted area, witnessed the cruel distortion of rules on life, and got acquainted with the mysterious black marketeer Gao Qiang. He constantly challenged the rules, but at the cost of increasing the pollution of his own cognition: memory fragments flashed back, his dead mother's phantom whispered, and even his limbs began to disappear in a regular manner.
However, the Tower of Order's database revealed a crueler truth: Chu Yi was not the product of an accident, but an "inevitable error" - the ultimate loophole - created by the "Logical Fusion Protocol" that maintains the operation of the world. His very existence is a paradox that the protocol cannot digest. As the Tower of Order started the "formatting" clearing process, Chu Yi's sense of existence began to disappear.
Faced with his own destiny as a "mistake" and the crisis of collapse of the global rules network, Chu Yi was pushed to the cliff of choice. Is it to accept dissipation and become the "paradox seed" that gives birth to a new world? Or will you turn yourself into a "ghost code", blend into the gaps in the rules, and protect the remaining glimmer of humanity in the flood of data? On the edge of order and chaos, flawed choices will reshape the post-apocalyptic dawn.
