In 2066, strange "time cracks" began to appear deep in the city-the trapped people must follow twisted rules to survive. Only one person can leave the elevator at a time, every patient in the hospital hides a paradox, and even memories can be traded in the mall...
Jiang Yu, a decryptor with the talent of "rule deconstruction", uses logical loopholes to crack dead ends again and again. However, every crack is a chess piece, and behind it is the chess game of the mysterious organization "The Player" that spans thousands of years. When the entire city becomes a chessboard, and when the sacrifice of teammates becomes the price, Jiang Yu must make a choice: break the game according to the rules, or be the one to re-write the rules?
The essence of rules is not to restrict, but to protect. But some chess games are worth overturning the board.
