The story revolves around Cheng Weixi, Gu Shuo, Zhou Ginkgo, and Tang Wutong. They broke through the game after experiencing 12 time loops. In the real world, they discovered the drug dealer's genetic map conspiracy through Tang Feng, pine needles, ginkgo, sycamore and other plant symbols as well as metal box notes, photos, recordings, text messages, USB passwords and other clues, and tracked down the only "Cheng Xiaoshu" who is immune to the acacia toxin. In the process, character tokens (police badges, silver jewelry, rings, etc.) Conceal time-space connections and coordinate codes, and scenes such as underground laboratories and drainage systems connect root metaphors across time and space. The final break is not the end. The four people carry the symbolic meaning of plant symbiosis and continue to fight against the still-growing poisonous network. The story ends with an open ending of "the roots extend to unknown soil", implying that new adventures and conspiracies are still fermenting in the dark.
Intent: Persistence of justice and mission, tenacity and growth of life, team collaboration and symbiosis, hope and exploration of the future
