In a world where memories can be edited, who are you?
Chen Mo, an ordinary programmer, found a "crack" in his ceiling one early morning in the spring of the Year of the Horse. When he peeled off this disguise, a horrifying truth emerged: someone sneaked into the room to implant a "cognitive correction patch" while he was sleeping, and his life, including work, apartment and even memories with his family, may all be a precisely woven false program.
The phone received an anonymous warning: "Run. They are modifying your reality."
Chen Mo discovered that this was not the first time he "woke up" - a cruel note was recorded in his notebook: "The 43rd memory cleansing completed." On the surface, he is an engineer for the technology company "Deep Blue Technology", but in fact he may belong to the "Archers", an underground organization that resists memory manipulation. And this company is systematically cleaning and rewriting people's memories in the name of "cognitive science application" to build a docile society.
As the repressed real memories come back like a tide, Chen Mo must find the answer in the intertwined reality of truth and falsehood within the 72-hour countdown: What is the metaphor of the phrase "be careful with the mirror" in the abandoned theater? What is sealed in the old dock warehouse? And is the mysterious man who sent the warning a surviving companion or a more sophisticated manipulator?
When memory becomes an archive that can be tampered with, and reality becomes a foldable fold, the only thing that can be believed is the instinct of resistance that has not been erased under the crack.
A suspenseful sci-fi escape about identity, truth and freedom begins here.
