Zhang Man, an architecture student at Nanjiang University, leads a very regular life: drawings, models, and dormitory. However, one ordinary late night, this pattern was completely shattered.
He found a photo of graduates from three years ago in a display cabinet in the corridor of the department. The protagonist in the photo not only has the same name as him, but he even has the same face. According to archival records, that "Zhang Man" had already died in a Bishe fire three years ago.
As the truth was revealed, Zhang Man's originally stable world began to collapse:
Disappeared identity: The bed in the dormitory has long been covered with dust. His roommate cared for him but never looked him in the eye.
Overlapping time and space: He often receives warning text messages from his future self on his mobile phone, and the content actually teaches him how to avoid "cleaning up" by the school guard.
The horrifying truth: Each layer of the structure of the Department of Architecture seems to correspond to a layer of memory cortex in the brain, and he is trapped in the "maze of consciousness" of a madman.
When false memories intertwined with reality, Zhang Man discovered that everyone around him who tried to "cure" him had a scalpel in his hand.
In this giant cage called the University, he must find the murderer who personally killed "Yesterday's Me" before he is completely erased.
