Is aura the ultimate pollution of civilization, or the hidden truth?
My name is Lin Zhi, and I am a programmer under the super company "World". My job is to suppress "spiritual pollution" - a dangerous energy that has been scientifically proven to cause space distortion and biological madness. The classical civilization of cultivating immortals is a pathological sample that was destroyed because of it.
Wearing technological armor and holding psychic suppressors, we listed the ruins of ancient cultivators as a restricted area, and purified and sealed all the techniques and magical tools they left behind, as well as the history itself. I firmly believe that what the company brings is order, truth and the future.
Until I personally "purified" the last sword cultivator codenamed "Shang Shang".
He used his dying power to drive a ray of warm golden light into my chest - that was the only antidote to the "industrial radiation disease" in my body. He left behind half a broken sword and a curse-like whisper:
"Hold it tightly... And ask the world... What is reality."
So, I found:
My medical files began to show unexplained benign reversals;
The fragments of the sword blade always get hot silently when I question them;
In the company's database, all records of "ascension" have been erased, leaving only the conclusion of "collective hallucination";
In the dark, an organization calling itself "The Other Side" came to me. They said: We are all sick, but not because of radiation, but because of... Forgetfulness.
Now I have to make a choice:
It is to continue to wear the badge of the order officer and believe in everything in front of you built of data and steel;
Or should I hold on to the broken sword that was listed as a "source of pollution", step into the ruins buried by the company, and pursue a truth that may make me irrecoverable——
