In the city of the near future, AI has taken over 99% of social operations, but it cannot understand human emotions that cannot be digitized—obsession, regret, and subconscious fear. These are called "emotional fragments" and are hidden deep in the code like ghosts. When they accumulate to a critical point, they cause system collapse and frequent disasters.
Lin Ye, a "heretic" wanted by the AI Security Bureau, could see the shape of these fragments through his ancestral modified compass: the betrayer's fragments were barbed data streams, and the victims' fragments were glowing feather codes. Her "divination" is never superstitious, but uses metaphysical logic to decode AI's rational blind spots, warn of disasters, and expose conspiracies.
Her mother died in an "AI technology bug", but she heard the ignored screams of fear in the noise of electricity; giant companies fed human emotions to AI in an attempt to create a "perfect god", but she found that the plundered fragments were backlashing; when the whole city fell into an "emotional plague" and humans and AI were hostile to each other, she stood in the middle holding a compass -
"Machines don't understand emotions. It's not a defect. It's that we still have the right not to be defined by algorithms."
From a wanted "divination master" to a mediator of human-machine order, she uses the oldest compass to calculate a warm hexagram for the cold cyber world.
