2084, Black Steel City.
This is an era in which even "soul" can be quantified. Happiness is an expensive injection, sadness is blocked junk data, and memory is a film that can be edited at will. People in uptown live in sterile happiness, while people in downtown rot in chaotic emotions.
Lin Yuan, the top "memory restorer" in the black market.
Ten years ago, he had his amygdala (the fear and emotion center) removed. From then on, only absolute logic and probability remained in his world. The heartbeat is constant at 60, never afraid, never angry, and never in love. He is the most perfect observer, as cold and precise as a scalpel.
Until one day, Lin Yuan received a mysterious chip from the old era.
The chip records a murder memory from a first-person perspective——
In the picture, a pair of familiar hands strangled the victim's neck, and the person who was suffocating and dying was actually Lin Yuan himself.
What's even more frightening is that with the death of "himself" in his memory, Lin Yuan felt a joy that made him tremble and violated logic for the first time in a long time.
In order to solve the paradox of "I kill me", Lin Yuan was forced to walk out of his sterile room and step into the dirty and noisy downtown area.
He met Su Ye, a female madman who sells emotions, and the super AI Alpha who tried to "silence" all mankind.
From forged memories to eternal consciousness, from prosthetic fighting in the slums to philosophical trials in the clouds.
When all logic pointed to "self-destruction" as the only optimal solution, this emotionless machine decided to shoot at God for the sake of an "illogical" person.
