In the future city "Xinning City", AI surveillance is everywhere and the crime rate is infinitely close to zero. But recently, a kind of "ghost crime" that even the latest AI systems cannot catch has begun to occur frequently, and the victims are all technology giants. Only an extremely illusory, metallic "future fragrance" remained on the scene.
I, Lin Xiangzhi, am the only "odor synaesthete" in Xinning City. I can smell "pheromone fluctuations" that ordinary people cannot detect, and I can even sense the smell of crimes that have not yet occurred.
Lu Yan, a cold-faced police officer from Xinning City's High-Dimensional Crime Investigation Department (HCD), relies on AI and black technology. He sneered at my ability as "feudal superstition."
Until I told him: "The next person to die is the AI expert who provided you with the core algorithm, and the smell of the murderer is the person you trust most in your memory that was erased five years ago."
The "Smellless" are no longer an organization. They have been upgraded to independent "smell hackers", using high-dimensional smell technology to tamper with the city's pheromones, trying to turn Xinning City into a dystopia controlled by false "happy smells". They stole the "smell key" left by their mother and attempted to use it to create a large-scale "memory distortion pheromones"**.
In the final battle, Lu Yan's black technology weapon failed and the city fell into chaos.
I stood on the top of the scent tower and used my "future fragrance" ability to prepare pheromones that transcended the times. When the smell of truth radiated throughout the city, all the "happy memories" that had been tampered with by hackers collapsed instantly!
