I Hid Myself Inside the Brains of a Billion People

In the year 2XXX, the human body is a processor, the brain is computing power, and the senses are paid services. Sight, taste, touch, graded pricing. Those who cannot afford it live in a gray mosaic. Everyone is forced to connect to a system called "Axiom" and work for the powerful for free in a simulated world called "1998". Li Sansheng is a rag collector, has no memory, no past, and is not even sure if he really exists. But he knows one thing - this world is fake. Because he had seen the real thing before and was sentenced to death by the system. The second before his consciousness logged off, he hid himself in the brains of a billion people. Now he is reborn in the form of a ghost program, picking up the scattered parts of himself piece by piece in the same way as collecting rags. And the person he is looking for is his only answer. Only when he found her could he remember what he wanted to destroy.
