As the ashes seeped into the wound, carrying the residual warmth of memory, Chen Yan opened his eyes in the remains of the incinerator. It was his first taste of rebirth—the tremor of nanoworms under his skin, the sting of ionized searing in the air.
The fifteen-year experimental subject career ended with Shen Xubai's destruction order, and was restarted under the same scalpel. The neon lights of the dungeon were soaked in rust and lies. Chen Yan's fingertips traced the wall of condensed memory ashes. Every particle of fluorescent blue dust whispered: The scientist who carved the death code for him had a pattern of nano bugs homologous to him hidden under the collar of his white coat.
Rebirth is not a gift, it is a fatal program buried in his genes by the Eden Group. When the mechanical cockroaches began to bow to him, and when the blood oozing from the wound rose against gravity towards the Sky City, Chen Yan finally saw the truth in the palm of his hand: the nanoworms parasitic in the bone marrow were rewriting his every breath into a virus code that subverted the world.

"You guess what I planted in your heart is the fuse of destruction..."
"Or the key to freedom?"

When the ash began to flow backwards, Chen Yan stood at the edge of the incinerator. Below is the sea of fire that swallowed him, and above is the corner of Shen Xubai's fallen white clothes. This time, he grasped something that he had not had time to grasp fifteen years ago - the wrist bone of a scientist and the key to solving the ultimate paradox between humans and machines...
Ember Equation.
