a. Lin Xiao infiltrates the Bureau's database and discovers the pass is connected to "Stardust Game."
b. He meets Su Li, and the two team up to explore the game, where they are attacked by Bureau agents.
c. They expose the Bureau's conspiracy to use the game to screen Espers for human experimentation. Lin Xiao and Su Li lead a resistance group in a two-front struggle against the Bureau, in both the virtual and real worlds, culminating in a showdown with Director Zhou.
