The city is run very well.
Punctual, consistent and courteous.
Vending machines swallow money and apologize;
The inspection system will take people away and leave instructions;
All exceptions will be logged and all risks will be dealt with in advance.
The problem is——
Some people are not wrong.
They just can't be fully explained.
"City of Ashes" starts from an ordinary street and tells how several people who did not know each other were gradually marked, approached, and screened in a system that pursued absolute stability.
There are no heroes and no plan to save the world.
Just routine, observation, judgment, and some allowed disappearance.
When the world no longer tolerates uncertainty,
"Normal" itself has become a screening mechanism.
And variables, once they appear, will not disappear on their own.
Concept: Some "abnormal variables" marked by the system appeared in the city, and several seemingly ordinary people were involved. Through survival, escape, collaboration and sacrifice, they gradually realized the true operation of the system. This is a story about being tracked, corrected, and consumed.
