Stardust on Your Wrist

In the near future, neural dust technology becomes popular and personality can be digitized. Li Chen, a 27-year-old neural interface engineer, sneaked into the technology giant Tiangong Company just to find his sister who was taken away five years ago and now has no news. The old watch on the wrist suddenly popped up an encrypted message - it was my sister's unique coding habit, and then turned into a series of countdowns: 71 hours, 59 minutes and 58 seconds. As the pieces of information were pieced together, Li Chen discovered that Tiangong Company was conducting consciousness replication experiments on living people. My sister's data consciousness is still trapped deep in a certain server, and a virus called "Nemesis" is about to spread throughout the city through the nano-atomization system. What's even weirder is that the real host of the virus is actually a replica created by the CEO to resurrect his son who died young. The countdown is synchronized with the spread of the virus. Li Chen must find his sister in the ruins of data before the glimmer of light on his wrist is completely extinguished, and lock Pandora's box before it is opened. And when the replica actively chooses self-destruction in exchange for true death, when a father is willing to become a devil for his son, and when his sister gradually forgets everything in the virtual space - Li Chen finally understands: in this cold technological maze, only love and sacrifice are the real constants. This is a story about "saving a loved one". In a world where every character is being transformed into a tool by technology, they choose to draw the final arc with the warmth of humanity. The glimmer of light on your wrist will eventually fill the sea before dawn like stardust.
