In 2149, the neon lights of the new Shanghai City blurred into blurry spots in the acid rain. The "neural web" has long become the second skin of human beings - it digitizes consciousness, allowing memories to be edited and emotions to be simulated. Ye Yi, the former core engineer of the "Consciousness Archive Project", was forced to return to the technological abyss created by her daughter An An after her consciousness was hijacked by mysterious forces.
The clues left by the hijackers point to the giant enterprise "Chuosheng Group", and the "National Consciousness Synchronization" plan being implemented by this group actually hides a terrorist conspiracy to refine human consciousness into energy. While Ye Yi needs to decipher the rescue code in her daughter's consciousness data, she also needs to fight against the pursuit of the Creation Group. She also has to choose between the positions of the "Awakened" resistance organization and her old friend Lu Ming.
When she discovers that her consciousness has been implanted with a "backdoor program" and becomes part of the conspiracy, the battle to save her daughter has escalated into the ultimate struggle to protect the freedom of human consciousness. Is the sharp edge of technology the key to salvation, or an iron cage imprisoning the soul? Yoruichi must find the answer in the torrent of data and the glimmer of humanity.
