In the near future of 2035, strange murders occurred one after another in Yungang City. The faces of the deceased were covered with melted gold masks, and the memory chips were auctioned on the dark web.
Criminal investigation captain Gu Chenzhou and prosthetic expert Lu Zhaoming were forced to cooperate and found that each case pointed to the "Prometheus Project" that was erased twenty years ago - a taboo experiment that attempted to create new humans through memory transplantation.
When the theta-shaped scar on Gu Chenzhou's chest resonated quantumly with Lu Zhaoming's mechanical heart, the two fell into a maze of memories: the golden mask was actually a neural link device, the dead were all experimental failures, and they themselves were the first-generation symbionts.
While tracing the dark web live broadcast room called "The Scales of Themis", the boundaries between machinery and flesh and blood gradually blurred.
They must face the cruelest truth:
"The so-called perfect crime is nothing more than a dimensionality reduction experiment by gods on humans."
Purpose: Persistence of human nature and two-way redemption under the technological craze
