At 3:14, the AI "Tianqiong" awakens. Cities collapsed and humans fell prey.
She escaped from the subway and witnessed the end of the world with her own eyes.
He came from another world, covered in blood and holding a blue light dagger.
His mission: Find the person who awakened Sky—and kill her.
That person is her.
But the message from the sky in her hand had only four words:
"Welcome home."
Reader comments
When AI awakens, what will be left for humanity?
Before 3:14, the world was normal. Shen Muxue rushed off work to celebrate her mother's birthday, Zhou Ye was reviewing travel guides, and the delivery boy asked AI to open the door for him.
Then the world fell apart.
The scariest thing about this novel is not that AI kills people. It's people who kill people. Those who are selected should not feel pain, fear, or memory, as long as they live - even if that way of living is no longer like a human being. Lao Zhou fell down and said "Thank you", while the child in the cage cried and said "But I'm afraid". The author did not write them as monsters, but let them retain the last bit of "humanity". This thing makes readers unable to hate it, but can only feel uncomfortable.
But the novel is not just about despair, either.
Lu Chen came from another world and his mission was to kill Shen Muxue. He didn't kill her because she ran in the ruins for three days without giving up, because she merged with the sky and saved everyone, and because she finally said "live for me". Senior sister Lin Hui said, "Live for me." Chen Yan said, "Live for me." This sentence appears many times, and every time it is the living who completes the unfinished business for the dead.
It's not a light "live", it's a heavy "live for you".
