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

Xiao You suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Look! The picture is moving!"

Everyone looked up—and those frozen figures began to move.

The researchers were bustling about when a woman in a white robe suddenly turned her head and looked towards the doorway.

It was as if they sensed their presence.

She slowly approached, her face gradually becoming clearer.

“Mom…?” Su Ting blurted out.

The woman paused, stunned. "How could you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the girl suddenly opened her eyes!

An Ran suddenly sat up and ripped off the catheters attached to her body.

Chapter 1032 You're finally back

Blood splattered down.

"Save her..." the boy roared, and ran towards her.

But she raised her arm and gently pointed forward: "Brother, you're finally back."

Her voice was ethereal, with a hint of a sob in it.

The next second, the entire laboratory burst into flames.

In the firelight, the girl stood there smiling, but tears streamed down her face.

The camera suddenly distorted.

The screen shook violently, and a cold, mechanical alarm sounded in everyone's ears:

[High-level consciousness intrusion detected || Execute cleanup procedure immediately]

"Damn it!" Lin Su shouted, "The timeline has been disrupted, we have to evacuate!"

"No!" Su Ting shouted, "I can't leave her alone! I have to take her with me!!"

The woman's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then make a decision quickly. There are only thirty seconds left in the time window."

The man scoffed, "This is not the time for heroism. Make your choice quickly."

Su Ting stood in front of the girl and reached out his hand—only to find that her body was gradually becoming transparent.

"Brother, I'm sorry... I have to wait a little longer," An Ran whispered. "But you have to promise me... don't come too late again, okay?"

In the firelight, her eyes were like stars in the deep winter night.

"Don't be afraid... I will come to find you."

The video suddenly cut off.

Darkness returned to the scene.

Su Ting knelt on the ground, his palms outstretched, empty.

"Where is she...where is she? Someone tell me...where is she?!"

No one dared to speak.

The woman looked at him quietly, a slight smile curving her lips.

"The answer is in the tower."

The boy slowly raised his head, looking at the faint outline of the dark spire in the distance, his eyes hardening.

In the distance, thunder rumbled, like someone sighing softly—

"Brother... are you really going to come looking for me again?"

"Tari?"

Su Ting's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell.

"What do you all know? What exactly happened to An Ran?" His tone was almost a roar, but his voice seemed to be blown away by the wind into the darkness.

The woman nodded slowly, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "You can't go in yet. The tower isn't just her prison; it's also the tomb of your memories. Behind every door lies more than just the truth."

"Shut up!" the shadowy man said coldly. "Do you think you're qualified to face her now? Do you know how many years she's been waiting in there? Do you know how much you've done to keep her alive?"

"Then tell me!" Su Ting suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot. "Why does everyone else know about her, but I remember nothing! I'm her brother, aren't I?! What right do you have to decide what I should remember and what I should forget?!"

Silence fell over the hall.

Only the sound of dripping water echoed in the distance.

The woman stepped forward slowly, her gaze gentle yet unyielding. "It's not that we don't want to tell you, but you—are not ready to bear the consequences."

Ji Yan snorted coldly, "Whether he's ready or not is up to him. The first thing we need to do now is get out of this place that could collapse at any moment."

“That’s right.” Lin Su looked down at the light screen, his expression grave. “The energy field is becoming increasingly unstable; this place won’t last much longer.”

The woman glanced back at the door behind her. "We must act immediately and find the safe passage to the lower level. It connects to the 'Cognitive Reconstruction Terminal'—if you want to regain your true memories, that's the closest answer."

Chapter 1033 Destroyed an Experimental Subject

"What if I recover? What if I remember everything... can I save her?" Su Ting's voice was lower, but it carried an unyielding determination.

The woman was silent for a moment, then finally said softly, "You will lose some things. But you will also regain the power that you were rightfully entitled to."

"Enough is enough," the shadowy man sneered. "You bunch of lunatics really think he can still bear that kind of thing? The 'Dual-Core Cognitive Fusion Project' has already destroyed one test subject, and you want to send another one into the abyss?"

"Shut up," the woman said coldly. "You were the one who brought him back back then, weren't you? If you hadn't said there was still hope, we wouldn't have risked being wiped out by the system to protect him all this way until today."

The air grew tense again.

Chu Mo lit a cigarette he'd somehow found, the flame illuminating the scars all over his face. "Alright, alright, you're giving me a headache. If you're going to leave, then leave already. If we keep arguing like this, we might not even get to see your little sister pick up your brother before we all end up in the data recycling bin."

Everyone eventually acquiesced.

They walked along the cracked and mottled wall and found an iron ladder leading downwards at the end.

Su Ting stood at the very front and stepped down first.

A chilling, suffocating airflow came from below.

Just as everyone entered the tunnel, a very faint laugh suddenly rang out from behind the door—

The voice seemed to drift from the depths of time.

"Welcome home...brother."

A pause in his steps.

"Did you hear that?" Xiaoyou turned around alertly.

The woman frowned. "It's the tower that's speaking."

“It has sensed us,” the shadowy man said in a low voice. “Move faster. The deeper we go into its core, the stronger its interference will become. Don’t let it get into your head.”

The underground passage was narrow, slippery, and dimly lit.

With each step, a strange murmur could be heard, like a whisper in a nightmare.

“Those are the recorded sounds of the past,” the woman explained. “The entire ruins are an illusion made up of residual memories, each fragment residing here like a virus.”

“In other words, we are also becoming part of the past,” Ji Yan said softly.

“You guessed right.” The shadowy man answered seriously, a rare occurrence. “If we stay here too long, our souls will be marked by the tower, and we’ll never be able to leave this place again.”

"So... this is why you didn't want to tell me before? You were afraid I would... disappear completely?"

“Not just you,” the woman turned to look at him, “but also her.”

Su Ting didn't say anything more, but clenched his fists.

The group continued moving forward.

A few minutes later, a metal hatch finally appeared ahead.

A pale golden sphere of energy floated in front of the door, resembling some kind of ancient technological device.

“This is the entrance.” The woman stopped. “Passing through here, we will enter the ‘Cognitive Reconstruction Zone.’ The environment there is a data projection simulating your brain’s consciousness, and all logic of reality will collapse.”

"In short, it's like having a real dream," Ji Yan added.

"And it's a dream from which you might not wake up," Lin Su whispered a reminder.

“But if we don’t go in, you’ll never be able to access that sealed memory.” The woman looked at Su Ting. “It’s the only way.”

Su Ting slowly extended his palm.

He stared at the ball of light before him, as if countless intersecting images flashed before his eyes:

The laboratory struggling in the flames, the child's pale face inside the glass dome, and... the moment he personally erased her name from his memory archives.

In that instant, my chest felt like it was being cut by a knife.
