Three years ago, Su Cheng designed a game with strange rules and locked himself in it. He rescued 37 million players at the cost of having his consciousness shattered into pieces, embedded in a coin with heads on both sides, and sleeping in underground ruins.
Three years later, Lin Xiao picked up the coin on the street. A line of words appeared on the coin: "I'm still here."
The restartists want to resurrect Sioux City, but the price is to drag everyone back into the cage. The blocking faction only has one coin, a former program that transformed from code into a human being, a planning team leader with a death record, and a survivor who has not yet opened a cafe.
In the darkness, Su Cheng's mentor is building the final cage - "Return". A perfect world with no exit. He's going to trap seven billion people. The only thing he lacks is the fragment of Su Cheng's consciousness.
Rules are for everyone. Including the people who make the rules. Including people who want to break the rules. Including those who put themselves in cages to protect the rules.
He is in the translation layer, glowing amber. He is waiting for you.
