On Shenzhen humans are not happy with living the life of luxury, rather they seek to become a haruspice aka a host body for an AI. Becoming a haruspice enables them to become powerful, God-like, and with a life span that expands well beyond their human capability. All is well and good until the haruspices begin to commit suicide thus threatening the world of AIs. Now it is up to Dr. Leung and Krissana Khongtip to solve the mystery and survive as they both have their own personal mission and role in the war.
