In this cyber wasteland city called "Xinyuan", the lives of the poor are worth less than moldy synthetic starch.
The chaebols rule an earthly paradise built of titanium alloys and holographic neon, while hundreds of millions of people at the bottom are abandoned as garbage in the sewers that rain corrosive acid rain all day long. Lin Ke was originally a retired hunter who just wanted to protect his sister and survive. Until that day, Pan Asia Heavy Industries' armored vehicles smashed the door of his home and forcibly abducted his sister with a butterfly birthmark on her collarbone as a "living consumable".
In order to find his blood relatives, Lin Ke intercepted a faint blue original chip that blocked the top-secret defense line during a firefight. When he forced his brain to dive deep, what he saw was not a company secret, but a cold and desperate digital slaughterhouse - tens of thousands of poor people were soaked in culture fluid and became living hosts of unknown fungi.
What's even more frightening is that there is an ancient high-dimensional system code called [Ymir] hidden behind it. Flesh is mutating and steel is rusting. It is transcending physical isolation and preparing to harvest the cerebral cortex of all humans for dimensionality reduction and obliteration.
Lin Ke smiled. He welded the micro electromagnetic pulse to his cheap mechanical broken arm and looked up at the sky covered in scarlet garbled code.
"Even if you are gods sitting in high-dimensional servers and dare to touch a hair that she cares about, I will smash your main server to pieces today.".
