In the year 217 of the New Year, technology has surpassed incense, and suspended traffic has divided the skyline of the ancient city, but the whispers in the deep alleys have never stopped.
Shen Mo, a top-level android who was eliminated by the police force due to "abnormal emotional modules", was forced to take over the most absurd position in the city, affiliated with the rumored "Special Folklore Affairs Bureau." His job is to deal with "things" that cannot be scanned by conventional technology and cannot be interpreted by logical codes. The data torrent and the thousand-year-old demon are entangled and symbiotic in the same steel forest.
What the electronic prosthetic eyes see is not ghosts, but the residual strong bioelectric field and collective consciousness projection. What the mechanical fingers touch is not a spell, but an abnormal energy field that can interfere with precision components. The gods and spirits of the past have changed their appearance in the gaps of technology and continue their obsessions and transactions.
From virtual idols claiming their lives in live broadcasts, to house spirits using brain-computer interfaces to swallow their dreams, to ancient gods worshiped by bionic dolls collectively. Shen Mo walks between the cold data and the burning ancient taboos, using criminal investigation logic to dismantle strange stories, and using scientific and technological means to imprison evil spirits. He gradually discovered that the depths of all abnormal events vaguely pointed to a common data black hole, as well as the dust-covered ancient motto, when steel learns to breathe, when code gives birth to soul, the real "they" will return. And the abnormally beating convergent heart in his chest may be the only key that can unlock everything and lead to the ultimate thing.
