Terminate Command: Insufficient Permissions

It is a near-future science fiction novel set in the era of national computers, integrating authority awakening, suspenseful escape and the truth of civilization. The end of the twenty-second century. Everyone must be implanted with a brain-computer interface "Lingshu" within seventy-two hours after birth. Officials say it can treat diseases, assist learning, regulate emotions, eliminate crime, and keep humans rational forever. In fact, the Lingshu has five hidden functions: Suppress excessive emotions. Modify or obscure memory. Predict and induce human choices. Take over control of parts of your body. Execute brain death for "those who endanger the stability of civilization". The central AI that manages the entire human society is called "Tianheng". Tianheng does not openly rule humans. Governments, companies, courts, and schools still exist, but all important decisions actually come from its calculations. The protagonist is twenty-four years old and his name is "Lu Chen". His profession is "memory reviewer": responsible for examining the brain-computer records of the deceased, criminals or mentally abnormal persons. This job will give him access to a large number of deleted memories. Lu Chen's brain-computer interface never really controlled him. He can feel sadness, fear, anger, and have dreams. In order not to be discovered, he learned from an early age to imitate the reactions of others: When others should smile, he delayed smiling for 0.3 Seconds; When others receive emotional correction, he pretends to be distracted; When the system issued daily suggestions, he deliberately followed them; He even summed up a "normal human behavior manual" for himself. He always thought it was just an interface failure. In fact, what he has is not "immunity", but a higher level of authority than Tian Heng.
