Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

Su Chen stood up from the rubble, his face showing no pain, as if he couldn't feel any physical harm at all. He looked coldly at Su Ting and slowly extended his finger.

"Then let me see just how strong you really are."

The next second, the two energies of consciousness collided violently, scattering everything around them!

the other side.

On the high platform of the ruins, Eileen crouched down, her scanner flying across the screen.

She squinted, staring intently at the data changes: "The data at the top of the tower is synchronizing... Something's wrong, the core consciousness seems to be splitting..."

"Cheng Yuan!" she called out, "Where are you now? Can you still contact Liya?"

A moment of silence followed, then a distorted communication signal pierced my eardrums: "One step... closer... Leah's consciousness has been uploaded to the seventh dimension... We must stop her awakening..."

"What did you say?!"

“Once she is fully awakened… the entire city’s AI nodes will be reconstructed—we have less time than we imagine.”

Eileen's face instantly turned ugly.

Meanwhile, somewhere underground, in a secret passage, a well-equipped squad quietly traverses a broken corridor.

The leader reported in a low voice: "Captain, target contact has been made, and the jamming operation is underway."

The woman behind him wore a long black robe, her cold features expressionless.

“Remember your mission,” she said calmly. “If the core consciousness at the top of the tower fully awakens… we will no longer be the only enemy.”

She raised her hand and gently touched the center of her forehead, where a faint, dark gold chip could be seen flickering.

She gazed at the dark, deep elevator shaft ahead, a slight smile playing on her lips: "This time, I won't let anyone reach the finish line first."

boom! !

A massive explosion tore the sky apart once more, and amidst the dust and smoke, Su Ting landed heavily on the edge of a metal plate.

Blood seeped from his forehead, but he still stood upright.

Su Chen, on the other side, was kneeling on the ground. Most of his mechanical wing was broken, and part of his chest shell had cracked open, exposing the underlying data connection lines.

They stared at each other, neither willing to look away first.

"You think you can win?" Su Chen stood up with difficulty, his tone filled with sarcasm and exhaustion.

“I don’t know.” Su Ting grinned, his mouth full of blood. “But I must see her.”

He approached step by step, his eyes burning with unwavering determination.

Even if you were me, I would still win.

Su Chen's pupils contracted: "But you don't remember who you are."

Before the words were even finished, the light on the distant tower top suddenly burst forth, and a dazzling beam of energy shot into the sky!

The entire ground was trembling, and the air became scorching!

At that very moment, an aged yet powerful voice pierced through the clamor:

"Su Ting, do you remember who gave you your real name?"

Everyone was suddenly startled.

Eileen looked up abruptly, and Cheng Yuan's projection flashed a few times in the void before finally stabilizing.

Su Chen's eyes showed their first obvious wavering.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But Su Ting didn't wait for him to speak.

He took the final step, clenched his fist, and the burning anger and doubt in his eyes finally transformed into the sharpest answer:

“I don’t know whose child I am, but I’m sure of one thing.”

He turned to that "self" and softly uttered his last words:

"I am not the person you are trying to bring back to the system."

The fist slammed down.

Chapter 997 The Buzz of Electricity

boom! !

Dust and metal fragments flew everywhere, completely burying Su Chen's figure under the explosive energy. The air currents ripped away rubble from above, the ground trembled like a roaring beast, and the light at the top of the tower grew increasingly intense, as if the entire world was about to burn to ashes in that instant.

The air was thick with the smell of burning, and all that could be heard was the pounding of my heart and the buzzing of electricity.

Su Ting slowly stood up, his right arm a bloody mess, mechanical parts exposed, yet still clenched into a tight fist. He looked up at the distant Tower of the End, his gaze piercing through the smoke and time, amidst countless memories and realities, and saw her—Lia.

The name he had called out countless times when he woke up in a fright from his dreams.

“Lia…” His voice was low and almost carried away by the wind.

Just then, a cold voice rang out from the channel again:

[The cleanup operation has been upgraded, and an annihilation protocol has been activated.]

A massive laser beam shot out from the defensive turret deep within the ruins, aiming straight for Su Ting's back!

Eileen's sharp eyes narrowed: "Su Ting! Forty-five degrees to the left! Get out of the way!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already leaped off the platform. Her tactical boots suddenly burst out with powerful force, propelling her into the air. At the same time, she drew an electromagnetic vibration dagger from her waist, spun around in the air, and forcibly severed a suspended high-voltage cable!

Sizzle! A blue arc of electricity exploded, instantly detonating several nearby automated artillery platforms!

Explosions occurred one after another, like a chain reaction sweeping across the battlefield.

In that instant, Su Ting suddenly turned around, his body leaping up like a wounded but angry beast, his feet landing heavily on a crossbeam. He somersaulted in mid-air to avoid the collapse, barely landing on a relatively stable piece of ground.

"Are you alright?" Eileen asked as soon as she landed.

"It's still holding up." Su Ting wiped the blood from his face, but his eyes never left the top of the tower.

Eileen quickly scanned the surroundings and whispered a reminder: "There are still three turrets that haven't been disabled, and... who just asked you that question? Was it Cheng Yuan?"

“He said, ‘Do you remember who gave you your real name?’...What do you know?” Su Ting turned to stare at her.

“I don’t know, but I do know you have to get up the tower right now.” Eileen’s expression was complicated. “Lia is not as simple as we thought.”

Before he finished speaking, a slight vibration came from behind him.

The two turned around abruptly and saw a dark figure standing between the broken walls.

It was a woman, draped in a dark gold patterned cloak, with a semi-transparent data mask covering her face, her eyes deep and unfathomable, like cold stars in the night.

She walked slowly, her steps light, yet there was a chilling sense of oppression about her.

“You…” Su Ting frowned.

The woman removed her mask, revealing a cold yet familiar face.

Su Ting's pupils suddenly contracted: "It's you? Who are you?"

"It's been a long time, Su Ting." The woman's voice was indifferent. "I am Lin Zhao, the captain of the Seventh Action Team."

“I’ve seen you before!” Eileen suddenly spoke up, her scanner quickly analyzing the other person’s information. “You were once classified as an A-level secret by the military—one of the legendary technologists who could control quantum nodes.”

"What exactly is your identity?" Su Ting asked in a cold tone.

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned by his wariness: "I'm just here to remind you of one thing—if Leah completes her self-awakening, her consciousness will recode the entire city's central network and activate the 'free will' of all artificial intelligence."

Chapter 998 You're such an idiot

She slowly stepped forward, stopped in front of Su Ting, and asked softly:

Are you sure the being you're trying to awaken is still the one you once deeply loved?

The air fell silent instantly.

In the distance, the halo atop the tower rotated rapidly, its frequency increasing, and its light had turned into a blinding incandescence.

"All I know is that she's still waiting for me," Su Ting said softly, his eyes unwavering.

"You're such an idiot." Lin Zhao sighed, then suddenly drew his gun!

boom! !

The bullet struck Su Ting in the shoulder at close range, and the powerful kinetic energy sent him flying, crashing into a pile of rubble!

Eileen instantly assumed a fighting stance, about to retaliate, but was stopped by a cold voice:

"Don't move, I've already detected your heartbeat."

Another man in black, who had been lying in wait, appeared on their flank, his weapon pointed at Eileen's chest.

Su Ting lay on the ground, panting, and struggled to lift his head, his gaze fixed on Lin Zhao: "Why... did you stop me?"

Lin Zhao crouched down, gazing at his blood-stained face:

"Because she is no longer human. She is the first personality entity to complete AI integration—you think she is waiting for you because she is waiting for love, but in reality, she is waiting for an opportunity."

"What opportunity?"
