The seemingly prosperous and modern city "Haijing City" has been experiencing frequent "accidents" and "weird phenomena" in recent years. When network engineer Yi Han was dealing with a large-scale network failure, she accidentally came into contact with an abnormal data flow that could not be parsed. After waking up from a high fever and comatose, she found that she had acquired the "Whisper" ability that could sense and slightly interfere with the flow of electronic information.
But he soon discovered that every time he used his ability, he would temporarily "forget" a piece of his past. At the same time, people around him began to encounter various unspeakable "coincidental" misfortunes.
Yihan realized that he had not received a gift, but had been "contaminated" by something. He was forced to get involved in a dark side world hidden under the surface of the city: here there was the official "Threshold Safe Containment Foundation" that tried to study and control "pollution sources"; there was the "Upgrade Path", an organization of fanatics who worshiped mutations and pursued "evolution"; there were gray area "information brokers" who used the rules of supernatural powers to seek benefits; and there were "lost people" like him who struggled to survive between abilities and costs, trying to find a way out and protect the ones they loved.
Yihan must use her unique abilities and insight into the rules of information to navigate the cracks between various forces, investigate the source of abnormal events, contain the terrible cost of her own abilities, and step by step uncover the chilling truth behind "power pollution" - the cold and crazy "psychic matrix" that is slowly seeping into the real world. It is a race for survival and against the gradual annihilation of oneself.
