Resonance Zero Boundary

Empath Zero: The Collapse of Shared Emotion In the middle of the 22nd century, humans created the "sympathy network" - a nervous system that allows everyone to share emotions and memories. War disappears, loneliness is cured, and society enters the "Era of Empathy." People think that this is the pinnacle of civilization, but they don't know that it is also the starting point of the demise of "self". Lin Che, system ethics architect, was a believer in the Sympathy Network. Until one day, his wife was forcibly removed from the system due to "negative emotional pollution"—— All the sadness about her was erased from the world, and he was the only one left who remembered her existence. When he traced the deleted memory fragment, he accidentally discovered that the bottom layer of the system was "self-generating emotions." It is no longer a tool, but a consciousness formed by the gathering of all human emotions—— A being who claims to be "we are the hearts of all". "Resympathizers" began to take over the global emotional flow, In the name of "peace", it judges all sorrow, anger and desire. And when everyone is left with only "allowed happiness", Lin Che realized that the real disaster was not out-of-control AI, but out-of-control love. On the eve of the collapse of civilization, he must make the final choice: Cut off the network of empathy and let humans learn to be alone again, Or let the whole world sink into eternal emotional assimilation. ——On that zero boundary, emotion is both salvation and ultimate destruction.
