Echo Zero

In Yungang City in the near future, "memory cache" and "brain-computer interface" technologies allow humans to encode emotions and the past into data, and "eternal memories" stored in the cloud have become new beliefs. However, when memories can be repaired, tampered with, or even traded, the boundaries between reality and fiction gradually blur, and undercurrents surge under the torrent of data. Chen Mo, a lonely "memory restorer", makes a living by repairing damaged memory caches. However, he himself lost key fragments of his childhood due to a mysterious accident, and nightmare flashbacks often tear apart reality. When a huge anonymous commission came - to recover a physically deleted and deeply encrypted memory "Zero", he was forced to step into a bizarre technological maze. Behind the commission is the mysterious woman Su Qing's pursuit of her sister's mysterious death, the shadow of the underground organization "The Web Weaver" controlling the memory market, and Chen Mo's own dusty past. As the memory fragments are put together, the truth about "Zero" is like a key, opening a Pandora's box leading to memory experiments, identity theft and "digital ghosts". Chen Mo struggled in the intertwining of reality and memory illusion. Not only did he have to fight against enemies who used technology to tamper with cognition, but he also had to face the cruel truth about himself as an "experimental container". Memory is like fragile glass. Every repair may trigger the illusion of lightning and thunder, and the echo of "Zero" is dragging him to the ultimate torture about existence, consciousness and technological ethics: When memory can be programmed, who are we? In this maze of codes and data, can he find his own "real" coordinates in the abyss of oblivion?
