Lu Chen is a pipe network maintenance worker at the lowest level in Linhai City. After a last-minute subway accident, he discovered that his shadow came to life and could get behind the weird rules and swallow the core of those murderous rules.
This ability does not come in vain. Every time the shadow swallows up a rule, Lu Chen becomes a little less human: first he is no longer afraid, then he no longer feels pain, and then there is guilt, empathy, memory, and love.
The real hook is: the shadow is not a foreign plug-in, but Lu Chen in a failed future. Linhai City is not a city invaded by strange things, but a god-level strange territory managed by the Sky Curtain System. Tianmu has been screening new gods who can carry the city's rules.
