Lu Chen suffers from congenital face blindness and is the anti-cheating auditor of the "City Boundary Agreement".
When a city disaster broke out in his last life, he discovered anomalies in the evacuation records of his wife and daughter, but did not confirm it himself. He pressed the East District blockade button, saved most people, and also gave up his family himself.
After being reborn, her daughter is waiting for surgery in the hospital. The moment the power outage occurred, Lu Chen saw strange barrages floating in the air: someone was discussing his actions, someone was calculating the profits of the children's ward, and someone recognized the ending of his previous life.
He thought he was dealing with a business experiment that got out of hand. Later, he discovered that every vote of players around the world was rewriting the real city; and later, he discovered that game companies have been screening humans who can survive to the next city.
The latest revelation comes from the city itself. Transportation, power supply, hospitals and communications systems have learned to think. It is generating a safe archive that does not require humans.
This time, Lu Chen must make a new choice. But what he fears most is not losing his wife and daughter again, but that one day, he hears his wife's voice, but cannot confirm whether that person is still his wife.
