The public judgment begins. Eight people are alive, but there are only seven places on the evacuation list.
Yet Jiang Yan's wristband says “Executed.”
He's still breathing, but the System has already crossed him off the list of the living: no filter for him, no rations for him, and even escape depends on someone being willing to take him along.
The only thing that can help him find a way out is a three-second clip left behind by the dead. Each time he watches it, he loses the sense of touch in his right hand for an hour.
In the fire zone, a doctor carried him onto a stretcher. In the white-lit zone, someone urged their companion to abandon this burden as soon as possible.
But from the traces that had been erased, Jiang Yan discovered that someone's safety was being bought with someone else's name.
Who erased him seven years ago? And this time, who will be made to die in someone else's place?
He will escape the judgment, and reclaim the names of the living.
