A Thousand Stars Without Tears

In the future world, emotions are diseases and memories are poison. Cleaner Chen Qi was diagnosed as a "high-risk pollution source" due to "hyperamnesia" and will be forcibly formatted after 48 hours. In a desperate situation, the moon cracked open, and an ancient mecha named [Iron Moon] dragged him into the abyss: "The rational evolution that human beings are proud of is leading to the formatting of the 'nihility' of the universe." "And those 'painful memories' in your body that are considered garbage are the only [aura] that can drive the fire of civilization and resist ultimate erasure." From then on, a defective garbage collector was forced to become a seal carver of "Civilized Tombstones". He shuttled through the destroyed alien battlefields, collected the sacrifices of Senluo civilization to maintain the common pain, recorded the eulogy of the Temporal Federation when the countdown reached zero, and remembered the dispersion group's watch to spread consciousness among the stars... When he returned carrying the "tears" of thousands of annihilated civilizations, what greeted him was the cold muzzle of his home planet and the rejection of all mankind: "Look, the monster infected by the alien virus is back." To survive or not to survive? Forget or remember? A cosmic final debate on "what it means to be human", with the galaxy as the court and civilization as the evidence. And his only defense was—— "I feel pain, so civilization still exists."
