In the cyber city "Xinhai City" where memories can be bought and sold, everyone is a walking commodity.
Ling Su, a top memory retrieval expert living at the bottom of the city, makes the most dangerous deal in order to save his sister who suffered amnesia due to him. He numbly stripped away other people's emotions, until a mysterious commission dragged him into the abyss.
That is a piece of "ghost data" that does not belong to anyone. It records the darkest primitive evil behind the core technology that the world relies on.
In an instant, Ling Su changed from hunter to prey. The giant company that controls the world, "Yongsheng Technology", has laid a dragnet on him, vowing to "format" him along with his secrets. At the same time, the "Echoers", an underground organization dedicated to subverting tyranny, reached out to him, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
From the gloomy subsidence area to the glitzy sky area, in the desperate pursuits and deep dives of consciousness, Ling Su was forced to share each other's most fragile past with a determined female warrior, and face the elegant butcher who regarded human life as a code.
When the only family member becomes a bargaining chip in the hands of the enemy, when the memories that make up the "self" become false, does a man who only lives for himself still have the courage to pull the trigger for a future that does not belong to him?
This is a story about humanity, memory and resistance. Your mind is the final battlefield.
