In the super city "Xinsheng" in 2242 AD, death is no longer the end. As long as your "soul core" still exists, eternal life is within reach.
However, a phenomenon called "soul-shattering" spreads like a plague in the shadows of the city. It directly erases a person's digital consciousness, bringing nothingness more complete than death.
Ling Su, a former genius engineer of the "Eternal Power", is now the infamous "Soul Master" in the core area of the earth - a private detective who specializes in dealing with difficult and complicated diseases at the level of consciousness. He wanders on the edge of reality and data, pursuing those forgotten soul fragments.
A bizarre "soul-shattering" case that occurred in the Tianqiao District drew him back into this "eternal life" vortex constructed of lies and codes. The deceased was an executive of "Eternal Life Power". No trace of physical invasion could be found at the scene, but his soul core was reduced to meaningless gibberish.
As the investigation deepened, Ling Su discovered that this was not an isolated incident. Behind the series of "soul-breaking" cases seems to point to a shocking secret that has been covered up for ten years, and that secret is closely connected to his own past that he does not want to look back on.
In this city where everyone longs for eternal life, what he wants to do is to find a true rest for the dead and make a crucial blow to the "eternal life scam" that covers the sky with one hand.
