In 2077, holographic consciousness is connected to the online game "Second World". Consciousness is deeply bound to the account, mental trauma in the game is synchronized with reality, and core fragmentation is brain death.
Jiang Wang, a retired special forces soldier with the highest combat power in the server, suffers from severe PTSD. In order to find out the truth behind the battlefield defeat, he accepted the reward offered by the church - "Kill Yuan Shu".
Jian Xinghua, the game's native core code "Yuanshu", lost part of his memory after being formatted. His underlying logic is only one: to protect the I Ching system and destroy the church's "Garden of Eden Project." He locked the only chess piece that could break the rules barrier-Jiang Wan.
In the copy, Xingchui (Jian Xingxuan) is Jiang Wang's only antidote that can suppress PTSD. One touch, four words, can suppress all his madness.
Jiang thought he had caught the light.
He didn't know that those tendernesses were not performances, nor sincerity - they were a piece of data that had not yet developed emotions, an "instinct" generated in resonance that even he did not understand.
Until the mask shattered and Yuan Shu's true appearance was revealed.
Jiang Wan pierced his core without knowing it.
"Jiang Wang, don't panic... Earrings..."
The remaining soul was captured and formatting started.
He didn't die, he was just emptied of everything.
When the blank paper-like data life opened its eyes again, there was only a crazy man beside him——
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember me. I'll teach you. Learn it again."
"You are God and I am a mad dog. If God escapes, the mad dog will bite the whole world to pieces."
"I don't remember you. But I choose you."
Intention: Find the true self at the boundary between virtuality and reality, and complete two-way redemption between calculation and madness.
