In the 34th year of Ring Star Calendar, 90% of the people in Wuze City have Star Ring Technology's "sense core" stuck behind their ears - this thin chip claims to "filter out redundant perceptions", but it has gradually turned people into "empty shells" without emotions and memories. Nineteen-year-old Academy of Fine Arts student Chen Wenwen is an exception. She can see the fragments of perception sucked away by the sensory core turning into thin blue threads, entangled in the trunks of sycamore trees and the reflections of rain puddles. They are the "anchors" of human life.
In the abandoned old art academy, she came across an oil painting with falling snow. In the painting, the rebel Su Yan, who has been missing for sixty years, whispers through the sensory fragments: "Weaving blue patterns can save them." Later, Luo Xiaotian, a physics student, appeared with an instrument that can "measure blue lines." Su Yan's great-grandson Shen Yan found the dust-covered diary. In the camphor wood box that grandma protected with her life, there was hidden the blue cloth woven by Su Yan - blue weaving patterns, an inverse frequency weapon that can interfere with the sensory core.
From the rain-screen escape on Zhiyun Street to the nuclear-free settlement on Jinghu Peninsula, from the perception collection tower under the Silver Belt River to the Star Circle headquarters, Chen Wenwen held the blue weaving pattern and gradually realized: The perception core contained the code for the extinction of previous civilizations, and the coldness of Star Circle leader Qin Mo was the anchor point that was locked, and her eyes that could see the blue line were the key to sewing the folds of perception. This struggle is just to keep the "redundancy" of being able to cry and laugh - after all, feeling pain and warmth is what life looks like.
