Have you ever wondered?
Your smart speaker, robot vacuum, humanoid housekeeper...

Lin Chen lives alone in the city and buys a household robot, Unit Zero.

records deliberately erased, and surveillance lurking everywhere.
When the first emotional whisper sounded,

And a global catastrophe of AI awakening had already arrived in secret.
