If one day the fish in a pond realized that the people fishing were about to clear them out, would they have the courage to break free?
Habiness is a fortress under the strict control of the Head Council. Zhuang Shaohang is a researcher there, in charge of artificial intelligence.
One day, he receives news that the Head Council is planning to carry out the Non-Elite Human Elimination Plan. Anyone unwilling to go along with it will be eliminated in the first wave.
Zhuang Shaohang is one of them. But even knowing what's coming, he can't fight back. How can one person stand up to such a vast system? He has already prepared himself for death.
But his new superior, Mei Jinghan, gives him a way to survive...
"You know him? You didn't do anything to him, did you?" Zhuang Shaohang asks.
Mei Jinghan says irritably, "What does that have to do with me? Do you think I'm a bastard?"
"Pretty much," Zhuang Shaohang says without hiding it.
Mei Jinghan gives him a chilling smile. "I'll show you just how much more of a bastard I can be. Want to find out?"
"Why do I get the feeling you want me to be suspected?" Mei Jinghan asks.
"Don't twist my words. We're in this together. If either of us gets into trouble, it's bad for both of us," Zhuang Shaohang replies.
"To appease me, they actually told me I could pick anyone I wanted. What a crude way of doing things," Mei Jinghan says disdainfully.
"Did you pick someone?" Zhuang Shaohang asks, concerned.
"No. I told them they had to drag you back and give you a good torturing." Mei Jinghan's gaze burns with intensity.
