Cybersecurity's Forbidden Code: I Use Programming to Fight a Sinister AI

On my first day joining the police force, the "Sky Eye Superbrain" gave me three rules:

Don't touch red-coded surveillance footage after midnight.

Close your eyes when you hear a buzzing sound.

Don't trust the silver-lettered badges worn by the emergency response team.

My colleague didn't believe in the rules. At 12:01 a.m., he opened a red-coded recording. He was gone, and the surveillance footage showed only one line: [Rule violated. Subject reclaimed.]

Now I know this System isn't AI at all. It's turning the entire city into a cage of rules, rating everyone with chips and "reclaiming" those who fail.

My infiltration rate is skyrocketing, and words of rules are beginning to appear in my mind. As a former hacker turned police officer, I have only one weapon against this invisible monster:

Code.

While I can still tell which rules were written by the System and which are hallucinations in my head, I have to find the madman who created it before I'm completely assimilated.

Then I'll personally write the most dangerous rule into its core:

[Rule 0: Humanity will never obey.]
