The Metaverse (Baijia Jue: The Strange Stories of Jianghu)

In the future city, science and robots have become essential parts of people’s lives. The development and use of technology are delicately balanced between the Scientific Ethics Committee, tech conglomerates, and the third-party security system, Mosh Corporation. When Wang Xiaoyun, the only son of the powerful Wang Corporation, is assassinated by an illegal robot while on a hunting trip, chaos ensues. The balance of power is shattered, and an undercurrent of unrest begins. Captain Bai Wuxie, in charge of security for the 24th Action Team, seeks the help of consultants Zhang Bingyi and Shang Weiyang, experts in mechanical networks, to investigate. Through their on-site investigation, they discover that the culprit is a product of the ‘robot oligarch’ Aiboze Corporation. Meanwhile, Mosh Corporation faces a security crisis, and it seems like someone is orchestrating events behind the scenes. With no other choice, Zhang Bingyi, Bai Wuxie, and Mosh Corporation’s Mo Shangshuang reluctantly form a special task force to uncover the truth.
