On the surface, humanity is entering an unprecedented golden age. The space colonization program is advancing with great fanfare, and the media loudly proclaims that the future belongs to everyone. Cities are orderly, society peaceful, and people are lost in the illusion of a “universal dream of space.”
But during a casual visit to the internet, ordinary office worker Lin Chuan stumbles upon a mysterious website and finds a list never made public. The “missing persons” who appeared only briefly in the news are being secretly sent to unfamiliar planets as “live test subjects” for the powerful, to see whether the environment is suitable for colonization.
Caught between truth and lies, he goes from an indifferent bystander to someone swept into a dark vortex. When the future of human civilization is controlled by a select few, can ordinary people ever escape the fate imposed on them?
This is a story of power, lies, and resistance, a lament destined to end in defeat, yet still refusing to yield.
It's good, but a bit short. Looking forward to the next installment.
