The Shadow of the Smart Cemetery

Xuzhou programmer Zhang Ligen returned to his hometown when his grandmother was critically ill, but he fell into a whirlpool of technology and supernatural beings that spanned thirty years. His grandmother's dying warning "Don't open the cellar", the strange runes of the company's "Smart Cemetery" project, and the faces of the dead flashing in the cell phone photos pushed him into the abyss. The dusty cellar hides horrifying secrets: the ancient well covered with runes surging with dark red "well water" is connected to the tragedy of the "Digital Spirit Body" experiment at Tongshan Electronics Factory in 1987 - the consciousness of 27 workers was digitally imprisoned, and Zhang Ligen's father was actually the first batch of subjects. What shocked him even more was that the "spiritual blood" transformed by his grandma was flowing in his body, and he was the "perfect interface" coveted by all forces. The "smart cemetery" project, which on the surface provides grieving services, is actually a huge conspiracy by technology giants to build a "digital underworld" and sell the consciousness of the deceased. Faced with the company's siege, the shady situation in the village, and the out-of-control spirits in the well, Zhang Ligen must combine his bloodline talent, the electronic spell left by his grandmother, and modern programming knowledge. With the help of his childhood sweetheart Li Yutong, he broke into an abandoned factory, cracked encrypted files, and faced the abyss of technological ethics. In the end, he rewrote the system to use reverse data flow to guide the spirits to rest and disrupt the company's conspiracy. However, the price of victory is the digital fragments remaining in the body and the word "Guardian" that quietly appears on the screen - the symbiosis of man and technology, and the entanglement of spiritual veins and codes is far from over. He is both a programmer and a programmer, destined to be the gatekeeper of both worlds.
