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

Chapter 1098 Bombard them back to their lair

"Ha, you talk like a programmer." Chu Mo grinned coldly. "I like it. Let's get started! This time, I'm going to send this bastard back to his lair!"

The woman in white robes glanced coldly at the young man, Ji Yan: "Hand him over, or we'll burn him all together."

Young Ji Yan smiled, looking at the "self" in reality:

"What do you think? Would you really be willing to go through that choice again? Would you regret accepting his invitation and stepping into this place?"

In reality, Ji Yan remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

"I do not know."

He spoke calmly, but his tone was unwavering:

"But now I'm willing to know."

Before the words were finished, the five of them simultaneously formed hand seals and chanted in unison:

"Reload, Orgrius Core Memory Field."

A silver light rose from the five people's bodies, converging in the void and transforming into a huge crystal mirror, illuminating the core area of ​​the entire training camp!

Under this mirror light, Xie Qingwu's figure began to tremble, tear apart, and gradually become blurred and uncertain.

He smiled faintly and said softly:

"What stubborn little ones... but you'll understand sooner or later."

He turned to look at Ji Yan:

"Remember, when you see a mirror, always ask yourself, who is in the mirror and who is outside?"

The mirror is broken.

A white light engulfed everyone.

The next moment, they fell into a completely new space.

There are no walls or windows here, only countless floating data cables intertwined, as densely woven as the nerves of a brain.

A synthesized voice rang out in the empty space:

[Memory reconstruction failed: System conflict]

The woman in white robes looked around warily: "Where is this? Are we still in the depths of our memories?"

Su Ting quickly checked the terminal:

"No...we've entered another level...it might be Xie Qingwu's second line of defense."

"He's not planning to let us go yet," Chenxi said through gritted teeth.

As they were talking, the data screen in the distance slowly unfolded, and a figure emerged from the light.

A black dress, long hair, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

She watched them quietly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Speak a sentence softly:

Do you remember who she is?

Ji Yan in real life was stunned.

Five words echoed in my ears:

"Lin Ruoyu".

Chu Mo murmured to himself, his brows furrowed.

The figure walked slowly, stepping over flowing data points, like a dream.

She wore a floor-length black dress, with silver thread embroidery subtly outlining a black bird with outstretched wings. Her black hair fell smoothly down, and her eyes still carried that heart-stirring gentleness, but her gaze was much colder than it had been five years ago.

The twin blades in Chenxi's hand trembled slightly, as if sensing some ominous emotional fluctuation.

“Impossible.” Su Ting shook his head. “She died in the mission. We watched her being devoured—right at the edge of the rift.”

"But now you see her again," Lin Ruoyu smiled, her voice gentle. "Then tell me, which one is the real one?"

The woman in white growled, "Don't come near her! This isn't the Lin Ruoyu you know! This is just a simulation! Or perhaps a puppet consciousness planted by Xie Qingwu!"

But Lin Ruoyu simply stood there, her gaze gently falling on Ji Yan.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

He knew that look.

It's a gaze that only someone who has shared life and death, shared destiny, can possess.

Chapter 1099 He deserved to suffer so much.

"Do you remember?" Lin Ruoyu suddenly spoke, her voice like a spring breeze. "Back then, we made a bet in training room B3. You said you'd definitely break the old record before the assessment. I said you were incredibly arrogant and deserved to suffer."

The air suddenly solidified.

"...How do you know this?" Ji Yan slowly raised his head. "The result of that match was not recorded in the archives."

Lin Ruoyu's lips curved into a gentle smile:

"Because that's a secret between us."

"Shut up!" The woman in white robes suddenly attacked, gathering energy in her palm and shooting it towards Lin Ruoyu!

In that instant, the entire space suddenly trembled violently!

Countless data streams exploded, scattering in all directions like a storm.

Lin Ruoyu's figure merely swayed slightly in place, vanishing like ripples on water, only to quickly reassemble itself a short distance away.

“She’s right.” Her voice echoed from all around, “Are you searching for the truth, or…escaping your memories?”

In reality, Ji Yan clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking.

"I don't believe this is you," he said through gritted teeth. "If you were really alive, why hadn't you ever come back? Why did you only appear now? Who created you?"

Lin Ruoyu smiled: "Ji Yan, if I said... none of this is something you can imagine, would you believe me?"

The next second, the surrounding light screens began to flicker, and scenes appeared one after another—fragments of memories they had experienced.

Combat footage from training room B3, flames and dust from explosions at the edge of the rift, and more...

That final moment—the image of Lin Ruoyu turning around and plunging into the crevice.

Everyone held their breath.

But at that moment, Lin Ruoyu's eyes clearly carried a strange calmness, even a hint of relief.

She was not a fallen warrior.

Rather, it's... those who choose to leave.

The woman in the white robe suddenly opened her eyes wide: "So you did it voluntarily! You didn't die, you ran away!!"

"Run away?" Lin Ruoyu smiled faintly. "I just went ahead of you. To find the truth."

She reached out and tapped lightly, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed—everyone found themselves in a pitch-black world, with only a star slowly rotating overhead, illuminating a huge stone tablet.

Six characters are engraved on it—

"Destiny begins with a lie."

Lin Ruoyu slowly walked towards the stone tablet, her fingertips gently brushing over the cold characters, as if caressing an old wound.

“You think you’ve been through five years of hardship and are strong enough.” She glanced back at the crowd. “But in reality, what truly determines everything is not the future, but the past.”

She paused for a moment, her tone turning cold:

"Those memories you don't want to face aren't just imposed on you by others. You yourselves have chosen to hide them. Every time you forget, it's the beginning of self-betrayal."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Chu Mo roared. "We're looking for the truth, not your philosophical sermons!"

Lin Ruoyu looked at him calmly: "Then, what is the truth? Is it the past you believe in? Or is it a real fragment you've never seen?"

"How can we confirm whether what you're saying is false?" Chenxi asked calmly. "If you really have an answer, then produce the evidence."

Lin Ruoyu nodded: "Very good, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."

She raised her palm, and a core module that shimmered with a faint light appeared in her palm.

Everyone was taken aback.

Chapter 1100 Shock and Anger

That is—a fragment of the core of memory!

One of the traces left by Xie Qingwu.

"This is something I've kept hidden for a long time." Lin Ruoyu slowly raised the fragment in front of her. As the light patterns flowed, the surrounding data network suddenly activated, forming a holographic projection—

An unfamiliar space appears.
