A mysterious pop-up window popped up late at night, dragging freelance coder Lin Ye into a nerve connection game called "Abyss Echoes". There are no ordinary controllers and screens here, and the consciousness is directly connected to the fictional world. The pain and smell are all real, and the penalty for failure is a direct deduction of "real physical strength" - even the friend K lost contact here, leaving only a vague warning of "Don't trust the system."
From the rusty guards in the abandoned subway tunnels to the unknown teammates at the suspended transfer station, Lin Ye is testing on the edge of life and death every step of the way. He must find a balance between game tasks and finding friends, decipher the truth of the "consciousness dilemma", and be wary of the unknown forces hiding behind the code and trying to control everything.
When virtual tasks are completely bound to real-life safety, this seemingly competitive game has long turned into an escape related to survival. Can Lin Ye lead Lao K to escape from the "abyss"? And what kind of shocking secret is hidden behind the real purpose of "Echoes of the Abyss"?
