February 25, 2026, an ordinary morning.
Astronomer Lin Qiming woke up from the recliner in the duty room and found that the whole world was empty. Delingha Observatory is empty, Delingha city is empty, Xining is empty - people all over China and the world have disappeared. There are no corpses, no bloodstains. Humanity is as if it has been gently erased by an eraser, leaving only the still-functioning cities and facilities.
He is the only survivor.
In order to find the truth, Lin Qiming returned to the observatory and analyzed the abnormal signals received by the radio telescope. He discovered that the earth was being "observed" by some kind of advanced civilization. The "virtual star" located in the direction of Taurus is not a star, but a door to high-dimensional space.
Humans do not die, but are "ascended" to higher dimensions. Only Lin Qiming, who possesses a special brainwave frequency band, became the "omission" - a loophole in the observation network.
After entering the virtual star, Lin Qiming met the "Observer". He learned that humans were imprisoned in a huge "cosmic zoo" and he was the only "observer." He faces two choices - become the eternal "recorder", or sacrifice himself and free all mankind.
In this game with the will of the universe, can he find a balance?
