Referring to Things

Under the illusion of prosperity of human colonization of the solar system, the universe is becoming blind. The former researcher disappeared. His coffee cup is still on the table, but there is no such person in the system, and the work badge photo is gray and white. All mankind thought this was just an administrative bug, until physicist Shi Jueming peeled off the shockingly regular operating program deep in the ancient tortoise shell he scanned before his colleague disappeared - the colleague who exposed the secret was logged out of thin air, and Shi Jueming raised his hand and found that his fingertips also began to show a strange transparent texture. The cultural relics buried in the ground are not dead objects, but high-dimensional information storage media deposited in the torrent of entropy increase. As long as humans try to read deeply and record, they will be silently locked by the automated clearing program (observer) at the bottom of the universe. It's an emotionless eraser scanning the entire solar system while humanity simply clears the next line on the list. The remaining consciousness of the previous civilization has awakened, trying to digitize and archive the elite into antiquities, abandoning the masses in order to transcend the eternal silence of entropy. Shi Juming, who does not have any brain-computer interface implanted, must drag his mortal body that is being transparent and being written off, and use the most primitive paper, pen, and flesh and blood to win this interstellar erasure game where cause and effect are out of control. "If one day, I suddenly don't find this person anymore. Please, please remember me a little bit." When reality is reduced to white noise and is remembered, does it really count as existing?
