Star Abyss Reboot: Watcher of the Dark Forest

[Introduction to the work] In 2425 AD, human civilization has established the "ring federation" on the edge of the galaxy, but it is always shrouded in the shadow of the "zeroers" - every three hundred years, the interstellar fleets and colonial planets will be annihilated for no reason. Starport maintenance worker Levi accidentally awakened the shipboard AI "Irene" while recovering a crashed ancient reconnaissance ship. The truth she brought was horrifying: Return to Zero was not a natural disaster, but a "civilization harvest" across the galaxy. Human beings are nothing more than experimental samples of advanced civilization, and every technological peak leads to systematic "pruning and reset." There are only three years left before the next reset. When the powerful fled, the parliament denied it, and the people were numb, Levi chose to believe in Irene's final plan - to find the legendary "Night Watch Agreement" and activate the "Return of the Stars" that could reverse fate. Carrying the last fire of civilization, the maintenance worker and the ancient AI embarked on a desperate journey across the galaxy. Seven "keys" are scattered in the forgotten ruins of the Star Abyss, each of which is related to whether humans can forge their own "return to zero weapon". But the stars are never silent. The surveillance eye called "The Sower" always hangs high, and Levi gradually discovers that the "Night Watch" may not only protect human beings, but also the ultimate taboo in the universe—— That answer is called the "real" answer.
