In order to be released by the police station, male 1 shared a room with him by extracting a copy of the consciousness of evil male 2, and asked him to confess his crime of killing his father-in-law. Man 1 revealed to Man 2 that he had previously helped an otaku to date his girlfriend, but let an otaku be poisoned by the girl and died. Man 2 told Man 1 that he found out that his girlfriend was married to a Chinese person and had a daughter. He lost control and smashed his father-in-law on the head with a crystal ball. Male 1 was released, but was blocked by everyone for voyeurism.

One scene in the story left a deep impression on me and felt terrifying, that is, after male 1 took out a female copy of consciousness, let the copy work, but the copy refused. So Male 1 sets a time preference and leaves the copy idle for six months. The result was that the copy was on the verge of collapse, begging him to let her do something, anything. What people fear most is probably meaninglessness and doing nothing.

The story reflects the development of modern technology, but also brings disadvantages to people's lives, especially the suppression of emotions and the manipulation of technology, which is terrible.

The plot is very good, with strong logic, interlocking, and unfolding layer by layer. I don't know what the world will look like in thousands of years.
