Su Lin remained silent and did not ask any further questions.

He had probably figured out what Lu Zhouming was saying. Based on the fundamental mechanism of absolute loyalty among followers, everything Lu Zhouming said could be considered part of the truth.

Even so, the truth is too horrible.

According to Lu Zhouming, there was once a man who integrated himself into the mechanism and used its rules to create an escape game, forming a 'mini-mechanism' unique to humans.

Within the scope of the smaller mechanism lies the district-level rules and regulations of the escape game that the survivors experience. Even though basic rules like the battle between worms still exist within the district, at least it is within the human realm.

The "battle" mechanism is likely an unchangeable core code for major mechanics, and minor mechanics cannot modify this process. However, some methods have probably been implemented, such as allowing people in lower-level waiting areas to be resurrected and returned to the waiting area after death, instead of actually dying.

At first, Su Lin had doubts about the irrationality of this "resurrection" rule. After all, since the existence of the escape game is mainly about fighting and becoming stronger, then only a real struggle between life and death can give birth to a stronger human. Why leave a way to resurrect?

Now, Su Lin has some understanding of the contradiction here.

This is the survival path left by the smaller mechanism. The core system of regional stratification slows down the time of human extinction. As long as there are still humans who lack courage, there will definitely be humans in the lower-level regions.

As long as there are people, they can reproduce and continuously produce new humans, ensuring the continuation of the species.

This ensures that as the escape game begins, the humans will have a place to breathe. Even if all the survivors who rushed to the front-line high-level areas die, this part of the human population will still exist, and there is still a possibility that a strong person will emerge.

As long as the community does not perish, there is still a chance of survival under the existing mechanisms, even if that chance is slim.

The core mechanics before the emergence of escape games, while unclear in their intention to accumulate endless combat and slaughter, are an undeniable fact of crisis.

This crisis is likely unsolvable by anyone so far, because as Lu Zhouming said: as long as you keep killing, you will eventually encounter a more powerful being that will enter the mechanism to hunt you.

No one knows how wide the mechanism covers, or how many ethnic groups and civilizations it encompasses, but as long as one is within the mechanism, a hopeless future is inevitable, and one cannot truly transcend it.

Within the mechanism, all beings can win countless times, but they die if they lose even once.

No one can be sure of winning every time without losing, and the facts have proven that so far, it is highly unlikely that anyone can win. After all, even that mysterious man has been forced to become one with the system, which is the best proof.

Since one person cannot win indefinitely, let's gamble with the entire human race!

The entire race fights, endures, and gambles in endless years of battle to create the most dazzling human being, gambling that someone can reach the very end of the system!

Of course, simply wasting time is also meaningless.

It's like a swarm of ants that can kill an elephant, but can't destroy the planet they exist on.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide the human race with reasonable means to become stronger. Since we cannot directly cheat with blessings, we should follow the core rules of the mechanism to create an escape game and create a small mechanism that belongs to humanity.

Utilizing a combat system derived from the core mechanics of killing and escaping, this game grants humanity the means to grow rapidly and become stronger through battles that are not truly deadly.

At the same time, by dividing the population into districts, the true life and death are separated, and a clear warning is given to preserve some of the human race's potential, while allowing the true strongest members of the race to step out of the boundary between life and death and face greater challenges and growth.

Finally, take that planned step into the future, fight against enemies outside the smaller mechanisms, and truly participate in the endless path of the larger mechanisms! Bet on the impossible—not losing even once! Bet on the most unlikely miracle!

This was the man's plan.

It is grand and comprehensive, and represents the most correct path for the grassroots groups under this system.

"I see."

After a long silence, Su Lin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "So, I'm just a consumable too."

He smiled faintly, without bitterness, only a sense of relief and acceptance that came from seeing through part of the secret.

In a future predicated on the entire community, no one can escape it, and no one has any room for resistance; they can only follow this internal rule.

Go and accept and digest the small mechanisms that resemble a beginner's village, and take the final step with the resolve to see the truth before you die.

Humanity's final step is also the first step under the grand mechanism and rules.

There is no turning back, only continuous forward movement and constant fighting, until one falls somewhere and waits for the next generation of the tribe to step on one's body and continue forward in endless years!

"This is fucking...despair!"

Jia Zhengyi also took a deep breath, and after holding it in for a while, he whispered, "This is fucking ridiculous!"

As Lu Zhouming said, the concept of followers is also included. Human followers also participate in it, but under the influence of the escape game, they unite with the strong in an unchangeable relationship to move forward.

Even without the escape game, the followers are still human and cannot escape the core rules covered by the larger mechanics.

The escape game is a cage, but it also provides protection, giving the human race a chance to breathe.

"So, do you still have any questions?"

Lu Zhouming looked innocently at Su Lin, meeting his gaze directly without ever avoiding it.

"It's not available right now."

Su Lin slowly calmed himself down and asked calmly, "But I still have some curiosity about you."

“Since you are a follower, you should also be one of our own involved in the mechanism, but you are also an intelligent agent, and therefore have a great deal of relationship with the mechanism.”
