A game of consciousness in the name of "redemption."
When Chen Mo, a seventeen-year-old animal abuser, was "stuffed" into an institution called "Humanity Sanctuary" by his parents, he didn't know that he was stepping into a consciousness training ground built by Qiao Bianyun using system fragments - there was no punishment here, only a damp basement full of clutter, and three newborn kittens.
Qiao Bianyun, who once held a scalpel and typed codes, weaved a virtual life for Chen Mo as an "abandoned boy". Neurofeedback made every inch of moisture and every cat meow feel real and bone-chilling. Lin Wan's physiological monitoring report showed that the boy was "calm and numb", but when Chen Mo was startled by the crisp sound of the old cardboard box and the kitten's meowing almost stopped, Qiao Bianyun's fingertips paused slightly outside the screen - this trial with the purpose of "correction" has long blurred the "tester" and "subject" Boundaries: Qiao Bianyun tried to use the vulnerability of kittens to question human nature, but in Chen Mo's every micro-reaction, he saw the scars on his wrists that were scratched by the robotic arm and the past that was backlashed by the system.
There is no bloody trial, just the resonance of breathing in a dank basement. When the reality of the conscious scene gnaws at the barrier between virtuality and reality, is this "trial of humanity" redeeming Chen Mo, or is it salvaging the sunken selves of Qiao Bianyun and others?
