In 2045, Xie Chen stood on the podium of the "Battlefield" global finals for the fifth time, becoming the only five-time champion in the history of e-sports.
However, behind the glory is an abyss - he refused to renew his contract at a sky-high price, but received a mysterious email on the night of his retirement: "Want to experience a real war situation?"
NeuroCore, a neurotechnology company with a military background, used "perfect virtual reality" to lead him into the abyss. The moment he put on the Neural Link helmet, he thought he was just testing a revolutionary game.
Until he "saw" real blood during the mission.
Border ruins, drone swarms, the eyes of enemy soldiers before they died... The "enemies" he targeted as AI targets turned out to be living people.
What's even more frightening is that a neural lock has been implanted in his brain, and every "mission" is recorded as ironclad evidence. Dr. Chen smiled and told him: "You have caused 43 deaths. Legally, you are a war criminal."
From e-sports king to war prisoner, from virtual control to real killing.
When Xie Chen discovered that the company was using the consciousness of neuro warriors to train the "Skynet System", when he felt the resonance of the enemy neuro warriors on the battlefield, when he had to make a choice between escaping and destroying the system——
He finally understood that this game had already begun from the moment the five-time champion was crowned.
The real enemy is never on the other side of the screen.
