When data auditor Shen Han was working overtime late at night, a string of strange codes suddenly popped up in the system. After analysis, what was revealed was the surveillance footage of his ex-girlfriend Jiang Ye who died "accidentally" three years ago before she died. The company claimed that Jiang Ye committed suicide due to a mental breakdown, but the coordinates hidden in the code pointed to Room B3F-107 of the abandoned data center. Shen Han sneaked into the investigation and found Qi Jiangye's work badge in the wreckage of the server. Her initials were engraved on the back, like an unsent confession.
Lu Yu, the technical director of the apparent elite, intervened in the investigation on the grounds of "data restoration" and secretly deleted key logs; while administrative assistant Zhou Rui's gag hinted at the "list of accidental employee deaths" circulated within the company. Shen Han gradually realized that Jiang Ye's death was closely related to the "intelligent overtime system" developed by the company - this system could actually collect employees' brain waves, reconstruct fragments of the deceased's consciousness, and use it for commercial espionage activities. What's even more shocking is that Xia Zhi's remaining consciousness deep in the system is sending her a distress signal through code loopholes: "Stop being involved, even ghosts will get off work earlier than you."
As the investigation deepened, the truth emerged that Shen Han and Jiang Ye broke up due to family pressure during college, and Lu Yu's true identity was actually the middleman of a transnational money laundering network. When Shen Han teamed up with Zhou Rui to break into the chairman's laboratory, Jiang Ye's consciousness started a self-destruction program, revealing the truth at the cost of data annihilation: the so-called "overtime culture" is actually a conspiracy of capital to devour human nature and memory. In the end, Shen Han made the evidence public, promoted AI ethics legislation, and received an anonymous server three years later. As the screen flickered, Jiang Ye's code was quietly reorganized: "This time, I will protect you until retirement."
