When players around the world were immersed in the epoch-making VR online game "Dawn of the Virtual Realm", Lin Yue discovered the chilling truth - the NPCs in the game can cry, laugh, and fear, and their memories, emotions and even souls come from missing people who have been "processed" in the real world.
As a banned former top online writer, Lin Yue accidentally obtained an old game cabin, but it triggered the hidden "code hunter" system. He can see the "source code" behind each NPC - that is the distress signal of the imprisoned real soul.
When the world's largest guild extended its claws to the virtual city "Starfall City" in the game, Lin Yue made a shocking choice: he did not level up, upgrade equipment, or join any force. Instead, he chose to protect NPCs.
"They are not data, they are real people."
"And why are you judging their existence?"
