Human Emotional Scrap Criteria

In 2136, the country has become a dust of history, and the world is a chessboard divided by the giant corporate federation. Human beings are on the verge of elimination due to "inefficiency". The only value of their existence comes from a white paper called "Human Emotional Scrap Criteria." Its author, Dr. QHJ. X, defines "human nature" as a virus that hinders production efficiency. Emotions are stripped away, purified and encapsulated, becoming a luxury product of capital. Employees, on the other hand, are reduced to "standard units" with no sorrow or joy, burning life energy efficiently and numbly on the precise and cold company assembly line. K-734, the top order quality inspector of the Enterprise Federation. His job is to monitor the physical and mental status of all "units," ruthlessly scanning and clearing out any "emotional contamination" that could cause downtime or reduce productivity. He is rational and precise, and is a living code that maintains the perfect operation of the Standards. Until during a routine scan, he locked onto an abnormal target - the girl "unit" M-0098. In the depths of her empty eyes, his sensors captured a wave of data that should not exist and could not be defined by any algorithm. At that moment, his absolutely rigorous logical core generated an erroneous instruction for the first time in his life: [Suspend scrapping, apply for observation]. From then on, this cold judge began to use his authority to spy on the "fragments of human nature" that were strictly prohibited from contact, and salvage those desperate and vivid dreams in the vast torrent of data. And he doesn't know that he has slipped from the guardian of the rules to one that needs to be completely purified in the judgment of the corporate federation... Defective products.
