The Disappeared Pan Bowen

On April 25, 2013, Pan Bowen, a senior boy in Tanggu No. 1 Middle School in Tianjin, walked into an abandoned dormitory and never came out. The next day, no one in the school remembered him. His name is not on the student record, his position on the graduation photo is blurry, and even his parents deny having such a son. Only two people remember it - Chen Mo, and a netizen named "L Jun". Thirteen years later, Chen Mo dug out the screenshots of those posts from his old hard drive and found that those people who "remembered Pan Bowen" in the comment area were disappearing one by one over the years. He found Mr. L—Lin Yuan, a programmer who also remembered Pan Bowen. Lin Yuan told him an unacceptable fact: the world is a simulation system nested layer by layer, and every once in a while, a group of "redundant entities" will be eliminated - those who have no intention of touching the truth of the world. Pan Bowen did not disappear, but was "folded" into the parallel memory layer, which houses all the forgotten people. Chen Mo thought he was investigating an unsolved case, but found out that it was himself who was being investigated. He was born with the ability to remember people who shouldn't exist - because the year he was born, a boy named Xiaoyu was erased by the system, and fragments of his consciousness penetrated into him as a baby. Chen Mo is a rare "cross-level anomaly" and the biggest loophole in the system rules. Erased people don't die, they're just not remembered. And there is only one rule in this war: as long as people remember, we will still exist. Memory is the only reality in this world. It is also the only weapon that can fight against oblivion.
