2147, The seventh year of the "Great Silence". A physical phenomenon called "observation collapse" has changed the rules of human survival - any life that is not "seen" by any observer will gradually fade from reality and eventually disappear completely. The Observation Bureau came into being and used surveillance systems to help people maintain their existence. The price is that you will always live in the eyes of others.
Shen Nian, seven years old. She and her father hid silently in the basement, using four layers of lead sheets to block all signals. Every morning, she stared at her father, counting from one to more than three hundred, to make sure he hadn't faded. She didn't know what was going on outside, but she knew that as long as she looked, her father was there.
One snowy night, Lin Shuang knocked on their secret door. She escaped from the Observation Bureau, bringing with her pursuers, a gray-white cat, and a piece of news: the people who were saved were still waiting.
They left the basement and headed east. Walking past an abandoned supermarket, a frozen lake, and an old man standing waiting for his son. Walking into a mine, I saw glowing crystals, names all over the wall, and my mother who had disappeared for four years - she was lying under the crystal, waiting for them to wake her up.
"Where the name is, there is the person." This is what Shen Nian learned in the mine.
She carved this sentence on the stone wall of Safe Valley. Below, are everyone's names. In the distance, the night watchman is waiting. Wait for people to disperse. But people will not disperse.
