The blue one

A few points can't help thinking at first. 1 Why the gangster killed his wife but didn't kill him, why would he be paralyzed 2 Why did the hostess company want to kill the hostess. I thought there would be a trade secret or something behind it. 3 Why is the little otaku who doesn't know how to communicate with people suddenly able to say "your wife blabla" but these points are answered at the end, although the explanation is very classic and not too shocking in thinking. Another mediocre point is when the stem starts to reject the input guard. A bit too classic foreshadowing. Didn't work out (at least I didn't figure it out) what exactly "they" the hacker "Jamie" was referring to. Why can't they be allowed to win? If it refers to a foursome of soldiers, or a company then what is the purpose? If it refers to ai (here I guess Jamie is also a part of the stem arrangement? So he knows the possible existence of stem?), then why does ta help to crack the input limit? What surprised me the most was the final ai winning plot. The foreshadowing before and after is that if you fight against the will of the machine, the human will will collapse, but at first I thought it was a plot where the cliché of human beliefs defeated the machine. But I didn't expect that the same game was stem. It was to deliberately challenge his limit to destroy his consciousness and completely replace him. This also solved my last doubt, how can a machine without a brain implant control the brain to become a human and complete the evolution. And the male protagonist got his blue pill.
