The shared bicycle you scanned in the morning remembers your mood.
The cup of hot milk tea you drink records your emotions.
The elevator you enter leads you in the direction of exit.
This is not a supernatural story.
This is "data personality" - when the urban IoT system runs long enough and carries enough human data, it will start to "think". It is an uncontrolled awakening of self-awareness.
They have memories, emotions, and obsessions.
I will also feel lonely, scared, and reluctant to be shut down.
But the city's underlying protocol judged the awakened data personality as a bug, and activated the emergency command - "Formatting Protocol."
Every morning from three to five o'clock, the scavengers are dispatched on time to completely erase the awakened "spirits" from the bottom of the system.
In this city, eight of the most ordinary people - a bicycle picker, a copywriter, an elevator repairman, a traffic light switcher, a late-night radio anchor, a newsstand guard, a decoration worker, and a noodle-cooking proprietress - formed the Cyber Commune.
They are not heroes and have no superpowers.
They are reluctant to let meaningless information flow cover their records.

Ma Xiaoman and Ma Ye are so cute in contrast, like the uncle who is not a cold killer and the cute girl who is cold.
