▼ Watch the full "Neural Cage" series from Episode 1! (Playlist)    • 【Cyberpunk/Suspense】Cognitive Leak ｜ Sci-F...   ------------------------------------------ "This world is full of suffering. Or rather, to be precise... people perceive it as suffering. But what if we simply erase that perception?" A meticulous harmony maintained by Antheus Bionics. While corporate executives spin a narrative of ultimate salvation, the raw reality of the lower tiers begins to fracture under the weight of an invisible cost. —Is it a merciful lie, or the ultimate cage? ■ Episode 04: "Cognitive Exploitation" Returning to the Overworld, Ena Sterling secures a regular client, yet her relentless pursuit of numerical consistency leaves her with more questions than answers. Driven by a lingering doubt, she takes a reckless detour toward Antheus HQ—a move that places her in a dangerous near-miss with top corporate executives Maxim Stein and Elsa Wang Wei. Seeking clarity, Ena descends once more into the Underworld to consult the mysterious engineer "K," who provides her with a strange substance: a Sampling Rate Suppressant. As Ena gathers with Ricca and Backs at the Junk Slot to piece together the terrifying mechanics of neural intervention, a chilling realization strikes. For the first time, the objective truth of her own existence forces its way through the corporate protocol, triggering a catastrophic mental overflow. ■ Timestamps 0:00 - The Constant Client / Overworld Maintenance 0:11 - Detour Discretion / Inquiring About Antheus HQ 0:34 - Near-Miss at the Rotary / Elsa’s Hidden UI Stream 1:20 - K's Sanctuary / Acquiring the Sampling Rate Suppressant 2:20 - Corridor of Order / Preparing the Boardroom 2:31 - Gathering at the Junk Slot / The Technicians Convene 2:37 - Maxim’s Soliloquy Begins / Setting the Stage 2:58 - The Briefing Room / Ena's Impasse 3:26 - The Philosophy of Salvation / A Gentle Lie Exposed 3:59 - Decoding Neural Intervention / Ricca's Deduction 4:43 - Demanding Monopoly / The Threat of "Cognitive Exploitation" 5:20 - Shifting Perspectives / The Subjective Memory Fragment 5:51 - Failsafe Architecture / The Self-Repairing Utopia 6:32 - The Illusion of Armor / Backs Confronts the Truth 7:09 - Failsafe Triggered / Sudden Cognitive Overflow 7:43 - Descent into Silence / The System Restores ■ Notes ・Characters: Maxim Stein / Elsa Wang Wei / "K" / Backs Volmer / Ricca Vance / Ena Sterling ・Locations: Celestial Garden / Antheus HQ / Junk Slot / Underworld ・Technologies: Cognitive Exploitation / Sampling Rate Suppressant (SRS) / Neural Intervention / Failsafe Protocol ・Social Structure: The Self-Repairing Utopia and the Price of Ignorance ・Status: Severe cognitive overflow confirmed.
