In "Xuyuan City", the technological god Tianming Group promised the ultimate paradise "Pure Land" - a virtual paradise with eternal consciousness. The price is only a negligible "soul tax": your memories, emotions, and attention.
Xiao Li, a low-level employee, was digitally enslaved after his death, but discovered the terrifying truth of the "Pure Land" in eternal labor: it is not salvation, but the ultimate exploitation of living people's consciousness as nourishment. Before his consciousness was annihilated, he packaged the truth into a "digital bomb" and threw it into the abyss of the city.
The echo of this bomb links the rebels of fate:
Vera, the restorer who inherits the memories of the dead, whispers secrets in her mind that can overturn everything.
Lao Chen, a prosthetic Taoist priest entrenched in the oriental neighborhood, uses cybermetaphysics to fight against the company's cold algorithms.
Aya, a deliveryman who lives with her malfunctioning AI grandma, protects the warmth that has been abandoned by the times.
Knox, the renegade architect of the "Pure Land", firmly believes that perfect happiness is the tomb of human civilization.
From the neon-lit bottom to the pure white and silent cloud tops, a war about reality and illusion, memory and identity, slavery and freedom quietly breaks out. They are not traditional heroes, they are loopholes, viruses, and the most unyielding echo of human nature on the edge of the abyss.
