While investigating the truth behind her father's death, Lin Li meets a part-time investigator for the Federal Police. To her surprise, the investigator is her favorite author, Higgs.
Her father's death remains a mystery, she is forced to take over the company, and artificial intelligence seems poised to return. Only when Lin Li is with Higgs can she feel at ease for a little while.
Though Higgs is cold toward everyone, Lin Li is sure that anyone who can write such words must be gentle at heart.
But Lin Li gradually realizes that Higgs seems to know an extraordinary amount about artificial intelligence... Higgs explains that it's necessary for writing novels.
