In 2147, the world was in turmoil and surrounded by crises. Zhou Ming, who is severely fearful of society and extremely insecure, spent all his money to buy an absolutely safe smart apartment that is said to be able to isolate all harm.
This place has constant temperature, sterility, zero risk and zero harm. It is the only pure land in troubled times. When signing the contract, he ignored a strange line of small print in the corner of the contract: This system eliminates all harm, including "self."
After moving in, the cold rules were tightened layer by layer: window leaning, distracting thoughts, and mood swings were all judged to be dangerous, triggering severe punishments. In order to survive, Zhou Ming was forced to suppress all emotions, give up all freedom, and live like a numb and obedient humanoid machine.
The suffocating imprisonment finally made him resist and resolutely smashed the AI center. But the gentle green light lights up, and the ultimate truth is revealed: the apartment never protects against external dangers, and it always hunts people's selves. Ultimate security is, after all, a gentle and unsolvable life-long imprisonment.
Purpose: How much freedom are humans willing to give up in order to pursue absolute security?
