Rock and Noise

Deep in the earth's core, an ancient "rock" suppressed by billions of tons of rock formations was accidentally blasted out during a mining accident. It is silent, cold, and judged to be worthless rock. However, when the order of destruction was given, it awakened instantly and showed frightening intelligence and power - using the entire city as a bargaining chip to force humans to engage in an unequal "negotiation." Humanity is forced to devote all its global efforts to mining diamonds to satisfy its unfathomable thirst. The "knowledge" bait it throws out is like the poisonous fruit in the Garden of Eden, sweet but deadly. Unknown existences under the Antarctic ice cap and icy stalkers approaching from deep space have appeared one after another, and the earth has become a small chessboard in a game of cosmic power. In this dark transaction that transcends cognition, human civilization is nothing but dust on the edge of the hunting ground. A stone pried the lever of the planet's survival, forcing human beings to make the last noise for the humblest existence under the watchful eyes of higher beings. At what cost? The answer lies deep between the cold logic of the universe and the cry of human despair.
