Experiment in 2077

In 2077, a "space-time fold belt" suddenly appeared along the 37° north latitude - the physical rules collapsed, the flow of time was disordered, the population disappeared out of thin air, and the collective memory was disordered. Strange events broke out one after another. Hu Jingrun, a former quantum physics researcher, turned into an investigative reporter to pursue the murderer in order to track down his missing sister; Song Jiayao, the chief medical examiner of Jinghai City, discovered that non-carbon-based "residual data of consciousness" was hidden in the body of the deceased while handling a bizarre autopsy, and her own special physique that concealed the ability to sense energy fluctuations originated from the trauma of being secretly experimented on in childhood. A disembodied murder case in which "consciousness was extracted" forced the two to join forces. After in-depth investigation, they were shocked to find that the fold belt was an out-of-control product of the "Star Core Project" - human beings' attempt to use dark matter to digitize consciousness and travel through time and space, but it tore apart the barrier between reality and imaginary space. The "Obsidian Association" behind the scenes is ambitious to control energy and hunts down all those who know about it. When clues point to "the sister is the anchor of consciousness that maintains the fold belt" and "Song Jiayao is the only successful experimental sample", allies become enemies, and the enemy hides salvation. The "Lord of the Void" born in the imaginary space wants to devour human consciousness. In the desperate situation of time and space cycle, memory tampering, and parallel projection, the two people must not only fight against the organization's conspiracy, but also decide the direction of the world's survival: Should they close the fold belt and sacrifice the minority, or merge the two worlds to create new life? Memory and reality are intertwined, technology and human nature collide. This ultimate game spanning reality and consciousness contains a shocking reversal that can subvert civilization.
