In 2030, quantum teleportation reshapes human travel. QiangTech's intercity portals, offering millisecond-fast commutes, quickly sweep across major cities and become the mainstream alternative to buses and subways.
Huang Zhenyu, an ordinary office worker, has long been accustomed to leaving early and returning late via the portals. Then, on a night of torrential rain, a rare power failure strikes the portal, forcing him to resume his forgotten subway commute. But when he arrives home exhausted and stands at his front door, before he can even put his key in the lock, he witnesses something that upends everything he knows:
In the light of the entryway, a "person" who looks exactly like him is being held down by two agents in QiangTech uniforms. In the stranger's eyes are the same terror and confusion Huang Zhenyu feels himself.
Was the teleportation failure an accident or a carefully laid trap? Who is this sudden "mirror image"? Why is QiangTech hunting another version of "himself"? With quantum technology blurring the boundaries of identity, Huang Zhenyu has no choice but to flee while searching for the truth. He must evade the mysterious agents pursuing him and uncover the shocking secret behind the portals, a secret concerning the very existence of humanity.
A battle over identity, technological ethics, and survival unfolds amid the fog of quantum teleportation.
