When a corpse is cut open and the heart turns out to be a ticking pocket watch - what you witness is no longer a murder, but a gap in the gears of an era that has been forcibly opened.
Xie Jianyuan, a forensic doctor who has studied abroad, has the power of a "mind mirror" to perceive the remnants of the deceased, and specializes in treating various "not human" bizarre murder cases in Yinghai City. Until he personally took out a pocket watch that replaced the heart from the comprador's chest. The accompanying note read: "Welcome to the evolution show. - Sincerely, the Jing Society." Since then, he has been forced to be involved in a cold and crazy war: gears in the throat, visual implants, mechanical prostheses... The mysterious organization "Pure Society" is using precision machinery to "upgrade" human beings into eternal parts one by one.
This is the ultimate anatomy of "what it means to be human":
Hard-core suspense: The charm of the Republic of China collides with cyberpunk-style mechanical horror. Every case is a fatal confrontation between logic and cunning.
Philosophical Confrontation: As the "Defender of Humanity", Xie Jianyuan and the stubborn female reporter Su Qingying stand side by side against the "Mechanical Ascension Sect" headed by the elegant lunatic "Curator" to interrogate the essence of life and existence.
High-energy evolution: The protagonist's "mind mirror" ability has changed from identifying corpses to identifying hearts. Can it ultimately identify the future of mankind? The pattern spreads from an isolated case to a global conspiracy, building an epic story.
When Xie Jianyuan finally stood in front of the "god" composed of countless fragments of consciousness, with his transformed comrades beside him, that smiling voice rang in his ears:
"You are the last 'bad program' left unformatted."
"Now, please choose - will you end the 'fragile era' of mankind with your own hands, or will you be sealed forever as the last specimen of the old era?"
