In 2032, it has been three years since he was a farewell pheasant. Optoelectronics, nanotechnology, machinery, biology, and the Internet are still developing rapidly. Only the safety of human beings deserves more attention. Bart, the criminal police officer who left Suzi's 9th Public Security Department, has also changed his personality, becoming more indifferent and paranoid.
One day, a female spherical joint robot puppet suddenly attacked her owner. After killing two police detectives, she was subdued and shot dead by Bart. As everyone knows, there have been several killings of similar spherical joint dolls related to this case, all of which were made by Locks Soros's test-use pre-production models. Except for a politician and a national security officer, the victims have no political common ground, and the modus operandi is to destroy and initialize their computers after the victims are killed. What is even more strange is that the families of the victims have all reached an agreement with the company to withdraw the prosecution. To this end, Jiu Ke dispatched Bart and partner Tegusha to investigate.
From the engineer Haraway, the two learned that the doll was used for sexual purposes, and the families of the victims withdrew their complaints due to family ugliness, which made the case even more confusing. At the same time, Jack Walson, the director of quality inspection of Soros Company, was brutally murdered. After the bloodbath of the Red Chamber, the two discovered that the current leader of the gang had sent a killer to avenge his predecessor, and the predecessor had died in the hands of the ball joint doll of Soros Company.
The two were reprimanded by their superiors due to unauthorized use of their powers. On the way home, Bart used to go to the supermarket to buy dog food, but was conspired to be hacked into his electronic brain. After self-mutilating his arm, he almost died. Fortunately, his colleague Zhongchuan helped him in time. In order to make the investigation clear as soon as possible, Bart and Tegusha flew directly to the northern Soros company to collect evidence. The two came to the house of the hacker Kim who made Bart embarrassed, but were confused by the illusion. Tegusa's electronic brain was even hacked into an endless loop. Fortunately, Motoko infiltrated as a guardian angel to give a reminder. The two were able to withdraw, arrest Kim, and pursue the investigation.
With the assistance of Tegusha, Bart used the data in Kim's brain to successfully break into the giant ship of Locks Soros, and at this moment, the dolls on the ship also activated conscious awareness due to procedural reasons and began to attack. At the very moment, a spherical joint doll suddenly appeared to help Bart successfully break through. It turned out that Motoko used a satellite network to load a combat prosthesis into one of the dolls. The combination of the two best partners completely broke the system on board.
In a cabin on the ship, all the secrets are revealed in the world: Although the original Ghost Dubbing system developed by Locks Soros has proved through animal experiments that it can degrade and burn Ghost into a puppet, it has been damaged due to damage to the host’s brain. Forbidden, the company abducted the children through the Hongchen Society, used the system to brainwash them, and burned their souls into the dolls. After successfully rescuing Jack Watson's daughter, Suzi completed the mission and returned to the vast online world.
Bart who is left will not feel lonely, because he remembers Shao Zuo's last words left to him, "As long as I'm on the Internet, I will always be with you."
