In the future city "New Arc City", the technology giant "Yongzhou Group" has developed "undercurrent of consciousness" technology, which can digitally store human memories and achieve a certain sense of immortality. However, behind this technology are countless memory fragments that have been forgotten, tampered with, and destroyed.
Gu Yan is a top "memory sorter". His job is to dive into these chaotic seas of digital memories to find specific information or repair damaged memories. He is calm and rational, treating memories as inorganic data and never being emotionally involved.
Until one day, he took over an anonymous task marked as "extremely dangerous" - combing through "data dust: 7431" from unknown sources. The moment he dived into this memory, everything changed. What he saw was no longer cold data, but a living soul struggling in despair. This remaining consciousness, codenamed "Ling Shuang", seemed to be aware of his existence.
With the in-depth exploration of Lingshuang's fragments, Gu Yan found that he was uncovering step by step a huge conspiracy that could subvert the entire New Arc City. Ling Shuang is no ordinary deceased, she is a key figure who was forcibly erased by the "Yongzhou Group". Her memory fragments are the only key to the truth and the bait that lures him into a death trap.
When the observer and the observed meet in the labyrinth of consciousness, and when the cold truth intertwines with the fiery emotions, Gu Yan must make a choice: should he continue to be a bystander who stays away from the incident, or should he partner with a "ghost" and fight against the entire world?
