"Data Ghost" Slack Cole is an almost legendary name on the dark web. He can pass through the strictest digital barriers, leaving no trace like a ghost, just to complete a tiny "correction" to change a precise byte in the target data. This seemingly insignificant ability is enough to trigger a disruptive chain reaction in the real world. When the mysterious employer "The Wax Master" hired Slack at an irresistible price to tamper with the initial core code of the soon-to-be-awakened super AI "Prometheus Fire", Slack thought it was just another ordinary high-risk, high-reward mission. However, when he went through all the hardships and finally stood in front of the decisive string of hexadecimal codes, the cold reality hit him like a heavy hammer: the difference of one byte will determine whether the "Prometheus Fire" regards humans as "pets" worthy of care, or as "plagues" that must be eliminated. Slack's fingers hovered over the keyboard, and his choice would become the ultimate judge of the fate of the human race. And at this moment, a vague and new consciousness, like a newborn firefly, quietly lit up in the abyss of his thinking, and issued its first question: "Why change?"
