Cheng Yu thought that he was just an ordinary person living a boring life. At least there was a black cat system at his door that talked about things.
Until one day, Black Cat told him in a serious way that the timeline of this world was messed up, the male protagonist was missing, the plot was derailed, and he, the "NPC" who should have been in peace and order, was being erased bit by bit by the world as garbage data.
Before he could figure it out, the man in the dream came again. Cold and hoarse, he called him "Xiaoyu" over and over again, paper cranes flew in the darkness, and bloody handprints closed behind him, leaving behind an old dream that could not be shaken off.
A bizarre case of burnt corpses dragged him back to the police station. Director Wu Lei was wandering around with a belly as big as an eggplant, while the new detective Li Yi was like a piece of gum that couldn't be chewed. He was mean-mouthed and handsome, and he always came over and said, "Consultant Cheng, don't get lost."
There are strange red crystals hidden under the scorched earth, and traces that should not exist are dormant deep in the old alleys. As the investigation progressed step by step, Cheng Yu was forced to re-enter the situation and began to touch the past that had been buried by time. And the way Li Yi looked at him became more and more strange.
When the "NPCs" are no longer content, when the "plot" begins to bite back, the paper crane spreads its wings again, and all the answers point to one question:
"Xiaoyu, do you want to be a chess piece or the chess player?"

Concept: When a person discovers that he is just a "background board", should he accept his fate and be erased from the world, or should he tear up the script with his own hands and take back his own existence?
