In the cyber era, everyone is equipped with a prosthetic body and every family is connected to a brain computer.
Companies use chips to control emotions, hospitals use algorithms to determine life and death, and poor people have to pay their bills on time even in their dreams.
Chen Ye has been around for twenty-three years. He was originally just a low-level repairman in the underworld who repaired artificial eyes, welded artificial limbs, and replaced neural interfaces.
Until that night, he received an order for "emergency brain repair".
The client dies.
He died on the maintenance bench, his brain burned through the interface, but his eyes were still spinning.
What's even weirder is that the corpse stared at him before dying and repeated one sentence in his mouth:
"Don't pull the cord… God is in it."
Everyone says he ran into cyberspiritual contamination.
The company wanted to arrest him, the hospital wanted to lock him up, and the patrol team determined that he had been exposed to illegal neural modules, and he was about to be sent to the "Jingning Center" for forced cleaning.
But from that night on, the world in his eyes was completely different.
The outer walls of high-rise buildings are covered with smiling electronic charms, surveillance cameras are like living eyes, burned-to-black passengers sit in the subway late at night, and what is buried under the ruins of the City God Temple is not a statue of a god, but a still beating mastermind of the old era.
He thought he was crazy.
Until he randomly drew a yellow talisman that really drove the ghost into the wall.
Until the broken statue of the god with half its face missing on his altar opened its eyes in the middle of the night and said to him:
"Send incense, little Taoist master, it's time to take over."
From then on, Chen Ye repaired his prosthetic body during the day and caught electronic ghosts at night;
Talisman in left hand, wrench in right hand;
Exorcise evil spirits for the poor, do tricks for the rich, and then ruthlessly blow up several shady companies that feed living people to gods.
Others say he is a cyber psychopath.
Only he himself knows——
I really am not.
I just know a little bit about spiritual practice.
