Semantic Leakage

Late at night in Lancheng, there is a group of people who only go to work in the early morning. They don't put out fires or catch thieves. They just patrol the city with a lot of nonsense and a loudspeaker. ——When the same sentence is said by enough people with sincerity, the language will "leak" into reality and become true in its most literal meaning. Lin Ye is a semantic cleaner. He is taciturn and cannot say ten true words a day, but he can read meaningless thoughts about life into the loudspeaker for half an hour. He uses nonsense to dilute consensus, uses boredom to dispel fanaticism, and turns out-of-control spells back into ordinary words. Leak incidents are becoming more frequent in the city, and graffiti that reads "Truth is Truth" begins to appear on the walls. People who call themselves the True Word Society believe that collective consensus can shape a more perfect world. They ignite fanatical words in the dark, trying to make the entire city surrender to a unified will. From the stagnant time in Anping Lane to the amnesiac crowd in office buildings; From teenagers trapped by labels to ordinary people erased by online violence; Lin Ye traveled through the semantically distorted reality again and again, and slowly discovered: He dare not say "I like you" to the person he likes, for fear that love will become a prison; He can't remember his life before he was ten years old, because he himself may be a sentence spoken by thousands of people. When all voices speak in one voice, freedom dies. And what he kept was never order. It is everyone's right to talk nonsense, and every sentence is unique and sincere without being wrapped up in consensus.
