After being forgotten by the company for three years, I became a transparent person in the office.
My colleagues can't call me by my name, and the elevator door always closes in front of me.
Until a text message appeared on the phone out of thin air: [Presence Adjustment System·To be activated].
I can adjust the presence from 3 to 100. As long as you can afford the price.
Adjusted to 45, the cashier looked up at me for the first time.
Turn it to 75, and as soon as you open your mouth, the whole place is so quiet that you can hear the sound of the air conditioner.
Then I saw a row of numbers floating above everyone's head.
For those silent old employees in the company, their numbers are dropping one by one.
My director Gao Zhiming, 72.
My brother Zhang Yuan dropped from 45 to 12 after being called to "talk" one after another.
I decided to fight back.
Sneak into the archives room, dig out the resignation list for the past three years, and write down the first name.
Until I bumped into a girl with 78 on her head, and she said, "I've been looking at you."
It turns out that I am not the only one who can detect numerical values.
I followed the numbers that dropped down and found a harvesting machine behind Gao Zhiming that had been running for many years: harvest and then erase it from everyone's memory.
I am an accident outside the process: I can see what is harvested; I can remember what is erased.
All the people who have been erased, all the truth that has been covered up, this time, I want to get them back one by one, with interest.
Workplace realism turns urban reality. A defensive golden finger, relying on the chain of evidence to counterattack.
The rules are strict, the price is clear, and every victory has weight.

The writing is good, and it's not mindless. I finally have the guts to read it.
Fortunately, my IQ is online, otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch it.

This is urban suspense.
