Lin Qi, a 22-year-old physics student, was drawn into a strange space called the "liminal test site". It is a screening site for civilization and a cruel experiment at the cosmic level - carbon-based life is forced to undergo "logical entropy inoculation" transformation, and failure is destruction.
Lynch soon discovered that the so-called trial was actually a bloody factory that refined living people into regular energy. Teammates have made rules one after another, and the earth will usher in the end of the cleansing with only three months left. In a desperate situation, he modified the core of the system, formed an alliance with the new consciousness "entropy", and embarked on the thorny road of collecting seven keys.
Traveling through the ideal cage of eternal civil war, the abyss of paradox of absolute order, the desert of death with chaotic time... Every civilization is a warning monument written in blood. And Lynch's own life experience gradually emerged - he was actually a human-edited rule adaptor, a part of the experiment, and a preset loophole in the system.
Behind him are the dying teammates and the countdown home, and in front is the cold gaze of the system creator "Source". Lynch must race against time, collect the keys, seize authority, and face the ultimate truth of this cosmic experiment that spans tens of thousands of years before the rules are completely standardized: Is the so-called evolutionary path of civilization a set program or a choice of self-struggle?
This is a desperate journey to survive in a place where logic collapses, and it is also a lonely struggle of a "man-made thing" to pursue the meaning of existence.
