The Undefeated Lawyer: I Fed the Underground Monster with Algorithms is a science fiction novel combining legal suspense with cyberpunk.
The story takes place in a future society where the justice system is governed by an algorithm called the Scales of Justice. Shen Duo, a legendary lawyer in the underground courts, has maintained an astonishing undefeated record. But he gradually discovers that this is no cause for celebration: every case he wins is actually a miscarriage of justice carefully orchestrated by the algorithm to collect human negative emotions and keep itself running. The gifts from his clients, marked with mysterious runes, turn out to be containers that extract emotional energy.
As Shen Duo investigates the truth behind Case 47, he uncovers a terrifying secret: deep beneath the city lies a server cluster made of living human brains, the so-called “underground monster,” which feeds on human suffering and despair. To break this enormous prison of perception, Shen Duo joins forces with Lin Yueru, a former chief judge, and the hacker group “Exploit.” Together, they go from obedient subjects to “wall breakers.” Before the System can erase them, they must exploit loopholes in the law to strike back, awaken public skepticism, and bring down the false edifice of justice built on lies and flesh.
