About This Novel

We have been in captivity for half a million years. Today, the examination room will be closed. Deep in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the mercury rivers dried up overnight. A ninety-day countdown appears on the bottom of Bermuda. The day the thick fog in Heizhugou cleared, revealing the huge bronze base, my right eye burned with pain - there were no eyeballs there, only a void where I could see the "holes in the world". They called me crazy until I pointed out: The pyramids are dimensional anchors, Stonehenge is the signal tower, and all unsolved mysteries are "simulation questions" left to us by advanced civilizations. The teammates who were gathered together by accident are even more strange: the woman with a robotic arm who can feel the pulse of the earth's magnetic field "Bronze Sea"; the monument keeper who deciphered the "civilization rating scale" in the human bones of Sanxingdui; and the ex-wife who was supposed to die three years ago, but now comes back with an AI tone - "Congratulations, the comprehensive human civilization rating: 4.9." She smiled. "There are still ninety days left before the fifth civilization reset." Either upload your consciousness and live in a virtual paradise. Either solve the last three mysteries and win freedom, at the cost of erasure if you fail. We chose the third path - smashing up this examination room that trapped all mankind. But when the proctor AI smiled and congratulated us on "passing the final test," we realized that behind freedom is eternal loneliness. And, the pen that has just been handed to us to write puzzles for the next civilization.
