When Lin Shu woke up, he was sitting in a wheelchair.
His legs were paralyzed, suppression cuffs locked around his wrists, and his medical file bore the number S-017.
This wasn’t a hospital. It was the Third Contaminant Containment Center of the Hall of Pure Knowledge.
In this world, knowledge is not power.
Knowledge can live, spread, and corrupt. It can slowly devour anyone who understands it.
Some read a single line of a formula, and words grow inside their eyeballs.
Some understand a sentence spoken in a dream, and can never again tell who they are.
Some have all their cognition erased to escape contamination, becoming Cognition-Deprived who can do nothing but work.
And Lin Shu is the only one who can read forbidden knowledge in his dreams without immediately going mad.
The doctors want to dissect his consciousness.
The Hall of Pure Knowledge wants to extract the remnants of the original text from his body.
Outer gods turn the pages in his dreams.
Everyone thinks that the man in the wheelchair is the most vulnerable contaminated subject.
Until one day, Lin Shu enters the doctor’s dream and asks softly:
“Now it’s my turn to read you.”
It's just that I think it's a pity to vote for Tomato. It's too fast. The starting point would be better, but the rhythm and characters still need to be changed. The rhythm is too slow, and the characters are a little unsteady. It's OK to be smart, but it's not the same kind of intelligence. A double-edged sword is OK, but it seems to be a routine. You can change it. The writing is very restrained, that is, short sentences are suitable for short stories, but not suitable for long stories.
