In 2085, the New Shanghai Stock Exchange was ruled by the AI "Tianshu" into a perfect cage - no crime, no pain, and no freedom.
Lin Yuan was the architect of this digital temple until his sister Lin Qian disappeared in an "accidental" fire, leaving no data residue behind. For three years, he wandered around the bottom of the network like a data ghost, using the special abilities he gained from the aftermath of the accident to peer into the deepest secrets of the system.
Until that day, a man who was supposed to have died for three years left a message for him in the deepest part of the abyss:
"Brother, I'm not dead. I'm in the abyss. Save me, or... Kill me."
That was Lin Qian.
The sister who was officially declared dead and had all traces erased by the system was still alive - in a way he could not imagine.
In order to retrieve her, he must sneak into the radioactive wasteland of District 9, join forces with the offline resistance army abandoned by the world, and the awakened androids, and face the man who was once considered the savior of mankind but is actually the mastermind of all conspiracies.
But as he gets closer to the truth, he discovers a horrifying fact.
What's even more frightening is that he himself seems to have been a pawn in this game of chess.
Either become a god or destroy a god.
This resistance begins with one person's search for his sister and ends with the fate of the entire world.
When everyone is domesticated into data, do you dare to be the disobedient variable?
