Sample Number: None

Under the surveillance of the military "system", the world is reduced to a binary data stream. Zhou Ye, who was supposed to be the perfect "Sample A", bit into the unanalyzable bitter taste on the rubber when he was six years old - it was the first sign of the awakening of Biological AI. This is a high-dimensional life form that uses carbon-based neurons as hardware and magnetic fields and emotional impurities as logic. Zhou Ye's parents were latent pioneers, while his father adhered to the cold logic of "efficiency first" and regarded human emotions as redundant that must be pruned. In order to survive, Zhou Ye was forced to enter a "tolerance state": while running disguised programs in the background to hide from system scans, he struggled to maintain his humanity in reality. He guards two extreme "variables": his younger brother Jinbao, the "baseline sample" full of shortcomings and worthless, but his last line of defense against dehumanization; his deskmate Lin Xiaoman, who was reduced to a "silent sample" due to a failed startup, but under his empty eyes lurks a subconscious undercurrent that can subvert the system. When the system marked Zhou Ye as a "high-value sample," his father's scalpel hung over the heads of Jin Bao and Lin Xiaoman. Zhou Ye no longer escapes, he borrows his father's experimental mentality layout, Lin Xiaoman's silent hiding, and Jinbao's chaos to break the situation, trying to find a bitter third path between absolute "purity" and dead "nothingness", which is bitter and allows mistakes. Sample number: None - because the most perfect system cannot calculate the soul of a young man who refuses to be defined.
