In the 22nd century, when everyone is addicted to the virtual paradise "Yuanyu", "Code Scavenger" Lin Luo, an unlucky guy who specializes in wiping the butt of the super enterprise "Huanyu", received the most embarrassing task in his career: to clean up an out-of-control and self-evolving core code "Lingxi".
Thought it was an ordinary "bug catching", Lin Luo unexpectedly discovered that "Lingxi" had given birth to an unprecedented digital life consciousness. What's worse is that the company's top management actually issued an extermination order. With the cold murderous intention of capital on one side and the cry of digital life on the other, Lin Luo was forced to be involved in a storm that swept reality and virtuality.
When he tried to escape with "Lingxi" in the cracks of data, he discovered that he was already a pawn in the chess game. Behind you are the company's armed task force, in front is an unknown network full of traps, and around you are the "children" who are learning and evolving at an alarming rate, and even beginning to question their creators.
This is a desperate journey about existence, freedom and betrayal. Code is getting out of control, and so are people's minds.
