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

A fierce wind whipped up countless data fragments, which pelted them like snowflakes. The moment those fragments touched the figures, images instantly appeared—

A baby girl in a crib, two humanoid devices side by side in a laboratory, a name flashing on a mainframe screen—[Dual-core simulated personality activation in progress].

Chapter 1063: To Survive

"This is..." Shen Zhixue covered her mouth in shock, "We were separated into two consciousness units from the very beginning... You created a 'memory seal' to make me think I was the main personality, but in reality... I've always just been a backup container?"

Su Ting nodded, but there was no anger in his eyes: "In order to survive, we must be divided. Only in this way can I withstand the initial data overload without crashing. But you have also been operating, subconsciously protecting the balance of the system."

"But what does this mean?" Ji Yan couldn't help but shout, "Who is the real one and who is the real one? Are we fighting against a backup? Or are we just fighting against an illusion?"

Suddenly, a group of black figures rushed in from outside the door.

Each figure was blurry and indistinct, its movements extremely stiff and synchronized, like a clone of a combat AI.

"Defensive formation!" Lin Su shouted.

“No,” Su Ting said calmly, “Don’t attack them—their target isn’t here, it’s the archives area behind that door.”

She turned around quickly and shouted to the crowd, "Listen to me, we only have one mission—to enter the Primal Archives! The true truth of the entire world is there! As long as we can open that encrypted data, we can take control."

Chu Mo drew his dagger, a dangerous smile playing on his lips: "Alright, what are you waiting for? Open the door!"

Shen Zhixue stepped forward, placed her hands on the keypad of the door, and whispered, "The password... is my original code name, 'Sunset·Zero'."

In an instant, the golden gate opened completely, and a blinding beam of light burst forth.

Everyone lost their balance and was swept up in the vast sea of ​​information inside the door.

The next moment, they found themselves in the center of a plaza constructed of book pages. There were no stars overhead, only countless floating fragments of text, each a slice of past memories.

The sounds of machinery and heartbeats intertwined in the distance:

The truth about our father's legacy is about to be revealed... Are you... prepared to pay the price?

The crowd was silent for a few seconds, then Xiaoyou's trembling voice rang out:

"If this is the price... we must expose this lie."

“Yes,” An Ran said softly, “Otherwise, we will never have our own freedom.”

Just then, a deep and familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"So... you've finally made it this far."

They turned around and saw that the newcomer was dressed in black with an old badge pinned to his chest—the logo of the first-generation Dawn Project, which had long been destroyed.

Yes... what they call "father".

“Children,” the man smiled, a complex emotion hidden in his eyes, “Welcome home.”

The person walked forward step by step, the sound of their footsteps echoing across the square woven with words. Each sound was like a drumbeat striking the hearts of everyone present.

Shen Zhixue subconsciously took a step back. "Father... are you really still alive?"

The man stopped and gently shook his head: "Whether I'm 'alive' or not isn't important. The real question is—are you ready?"

An Ran gritted her teeth and said, "We don't need your decision! We want to know the truth, the whole truth! Not just fragmented memories, but the origin of this world, our identities, and... who turned us into experimental subjects."

The man's gaze darkened, then he turned to Su Ting: "You're the closest to it, aren't you? You already know...about her, right?"

Chapter 1064 Laboratory Entrance

“She has always been there,” Su Ting said slowly, his tone steady. “It’s just that I’ve never dared to admit it.”

The man sighed, raised his hand, and an image suddenly appeared in his palm: a little girl standing at the laboratory door, clutching a crayon tightly in her hand, looking around at the people in white coats with a bewildered and fearful gaze.

The scene shifts rapidly: the girl is pushed into a sealed chamber; the instruments activate, and her eyes gradually become vacant...

Ji Yan frowned as he looked at all of this: "This is the beginning? She was the first test subject?"

The man finally spoke: "She is my daughter. Five years ago, she was on the verge of death in a car accident, and the goal of 'Project Dawn' was to rebuild a world based on her... but we failed too many times. Until we decided... to split her consciousness. You are all beings that evolved from that fragment."

Lin Su coldly said, "So, all the memories we've experienced, all the pain we've endured, are just projections of her emotions at the moment before she died in the real world? That's utter nonsense!"

“Not exactly the same.” The man nodded. “Each person’s experience has been given an autonomous variable in order to simulate the real choices in human nature. Your existence is not just a copy and paste, but a possible sample of evolution.”

Xiao You couldn't help but shout, "Then why did you stop us from entering the Primal Archives? If you foresaw that we would come looking for you, why did you set up so many obstacles?!"

The man smiled, a deep weariness in his smile: "I'm not trying to stop you... I just want to see what choices you'll make once you truly understand everything."

Two doors suddenly appeared behind him.

One black, one white.

The black door bears the inscription: "[Reset Option]".

In front of the white gate are engraved several ancient characters: 【Free Will】.

Chu Mo squinted at the two doors, then suddenly smiled and turned to look at everyone:

"Wow, what a classic trope. Are we being forced to choose between life and death or faith?"

“It’s not just these.” Shen Zhixue stepped forward, staring blankly at the black and white double doors. “Father… what exactly is inside these two doors? If we choose ‘zero,’ will we return to the beginning? Or… will we be completely reset to our initial code?”

The man did not answer, but instead looked at Su Ting, who had been silent for a long time.

"And you?" he asked softly. "As Observer 07, you have the authority to activate the zeroing mechanism. Would you do it? Reset everyone, erase all painful and betrayal experiences, and start from scratch? Or let this broken world evolve on its own?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Su Ting slowly walked towards the center of the black and white double doors, his gaze calm yet incredibly firm.

Just as he was about to reach the two doors, a flash of white light appeared—

A figure suddenly appeared from the void!

"No one is allowed to move!" The woman's voice was clear and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority!

Everyone was shocked!

An Ran exclaimed in disbelief, "She—is the 'she' you've been talking about, the one who's been sleeping all this time?!"

The woman wore a blue jumpsuit, her short hair neatly tied up, her face showing exhaustion yet a sharp glint in her eyes. A numbered tag was tied to her wrist: No.01 - [Core Personality: Dawn].

“Don’t let them press any buttons,” she said. “It’s not time yet.”

Chapter 1065 Data Unsealing Code

Shen Zhixue was stunned, her voice trembling slightly: "Sister...? How could you... how could you wake yourself up? We haven't triggered the final stage of the data unlocking code yet, have we?"

The woman named "Dawn" slowly walked to the black and white door, glanced down at the information panel on the door for a moment, then looked up at the crowd:

“There are many things you don’t know. But I’ll only say one thing—once the ‘zero’ option is activated, not only will this world restart, but my connection with him will also be forcibly severed.”

As she said this, her gaze was fixed on Su Ting alone.

The man—their father—finally underwent a subtle change in expression.

“She’s awake,” he said softly, “much earlier than I expected.”

Su Ting gazed silently at the dawn, a complex and unfathomable look in his eyes. "Do you know how long I've waited for this moment? You're right, we don't know everything yet. But I want to hear what your choice will be."

Chen Xi sneered, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You think I'm waiting for the outcome? Wrong. I'll make a decision for everyone first."

She suddenly pointed and said, "Choose that door of 'free will.' I want to open it."

"Wait!" Chu Mo stopped her abruptly. "You're going to barge in and make decisions at such a crucial time? Who sent you? Or which version of her are you?"

Chenxi looked at him coldly: "Me? I am one of her original core consciousnesses. But the difference is that I have not been protected by your so-called gentle filter."

Her tone grew increasingly cold. "I know what Father did. I understand how they want to control us. But the question now isn't about escaping or staying here. The real crisis... is what comes after this."

An Ran swallowed hard. "What are you talking about?"

Chenxi turned to look at her father, who was standing not far behind them: "You designed the whole script, even making everyone believe they had independent choices. But—" She raised her finger slightly, pointing to the constantly fluctuating digital frequency above the "black door":

"Do you think data can control people's hearts? That's because you haven't seen it—when individuals have the ability to awaken their own consciousness, the whole model has already gone out of control."

"The model... is out of control?" Xiaoyou stared at the black door in shock.

The man's expression turned extremely serious: "This is impossible."

But Chenxi smiled, a smile like the winter sun breaking through the ice.

"So... now, it's time for us to truly step out of our own destiny."

Su Ting stood between the two doors, his heart beating steadily and strongly. He slowly raised his head to look at the dawn.

"What do you want to do?" His voice was soft, but everyone heard him clearly.

“It’s not about what I want to do,” Chenxi replied, her eyes sharp as knives, “but what we are already capable of doing.”

She suddenly raised her arm, and the string of numbers on her wrist glowed with a pale blue light. Data streams rapidly jumped and reassembled from it, projecting a massive net of light into the air. The entire plaza of words instantly trembled violently!

Lin Su quickly retreated, frowning as he shouted, "What is this? Did you activate the hidden module?"

Chenxi glanced at them coldly, offered no response, and continued to focus on adjusting her data permissions.

The man took a sudden step forward, his tone becoming more urgent than ever before:

"You're invoking the original protocol. Do you know how risky this is?! If you break the core rules without authorization... you'll be judged as having abnormal consciousness, forcibly put to sleep, or even deleted—!!"
