I saw a woman fall.
No one screamed.
Passengers on the platform were still looking down at the news. The train was entering the station as usual, and even the monitors were empty. When the body fell from the billboard, I seemed to be the only one in the station who saw her.
Twenty-seven minutes later, the system completed image repair.
The woman in the video has my face.
Another half hour later, the second piece of surveillance was uploaded.
In the picture, I stood behind her and pushed her off the platform with my own hands.
So, I became a murder suspect.

In this city, the appearance of people, streets and buildings are all re-covered by the public visual system. People have long been accustomed to trusting the system and believing everything it presents.
I have a left eye that cannot connect to the Internet. It cannot see the illusions created by the system, so it always sees things that should not exist.
To find out who borrowed my face, I found an underground repair shop.
The shop owner, Vincent, loves money and has a bad mouth. He specializes in repairing equipment that is prohibited from repair by the identity center. After checking the chip I brought, he asked for more money.
Vincent: "There are twelve identities in it."
I asked: "Where's the thirteenth?"
He turned the screen towards me: "It's you."
