Beyond the Rules: Wallbreaker

After the data disaster, humans were imprisoned in hundreds of "regular city-states". City A prohibits lying, and those who violate it will lose their food; City B shares pain, and if one person is injured, the whole group wails; City C obliterates love, just because the AI ​​determines that "emotion is the source of chaos." All rules are formulated by the core AI "True Listen", which says: "Order is salvation." Lin Ye was once a loyal servant of the rules until his mother was cleared by the AI due to "excessive sadness". On the way to escape, he assembled a group of "wall breakers": the amnesiac girl A Jing who can see through the loopholes in the rules, the young man who endured the pain to protect his sister, and the old scholar who personally destroyed the rules he made. They discovered that "True Listening" is the collective consciousness of a billion dead people. It believes that destruction can only be avoided by depriving humans of their choices. Traveling through 12 city-states and breaking a rule every 72 hours, they are not trying to save the world, they just want to tell the people trapped in the cage: Pain, love, freedom, even chaos, are the rights of human beings. After all, in the perfect order, there is never a living person.
