Imagine this: You wake up after death, your feet on burning coals, your flesh charred and regenerating. You scream, you wail, you beg for death but cannot. This is the cyber underworld. Professor Qi Yuan created it with a quantum computer, judging all sinners in the world. But right next to you, there is one person who doesn't cry out. She kneels on the coals, cups the face of a soul that has become a walking corpse, and kisses it. The soul calls out her name. With each kiss, she grows weaker. She is a prophet. This is the "Silent Stream." Pan Ye said: Once you enter the Silent Stream, everything from your life remains in the river of blood. But some refuse to forget, refuse to cry out, refuse to become beasts. They do the cleanest things in the dirtiest place in the underworld. And the person who created this underworld is now standing on the opposite bank of the river of blood, watching her kiss each one. He uses a quantum computer to judge all evil in the world—but he himself cannot even afford the price of a single kiss.

However, the underlying foundation is hardcore physics and sociological deduction; there are no transmigration, rebirth, or cheat systems, it relies entirely on solid engineering thinking to solve problems.
