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

"The door is still open," Lin Ruoyu said softly. "Are you willing to take a gamble? Or continue in this illusory world... living a dream from which you will never wake up?"

After a moment of silence, Chenxi stepped out the door first:

"I'll follow them."

"Me too," Su Ting followed.

Chu Mo glanced at the world behind him, then at the door leading to the unknown, and finally let out a heavy sigh:

"Damn it, who's afraid of who! We've already come this far!"

The woman in white frowned, about to say something.

Lin Ruoyu chuckled softly, interrupting her, "Aren't you coming with us?"

The woman in white remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

“I’ve seen too much betrayal and deception… but if this is true, I’m willing to pay the price.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the door.

Lin Ruoyu was left standing alone, her gaze fixed on the ruins ahead, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The door slowly closed.

In the last glimmer of light, the little girl gently took Ji Yan's hand.

She whispered:

"Welcome home."

"Are you sure you want to go in?"

Lin Ruoyu's voice echoed in the space again, but her tone was completely different from before—gentle, concerned, and even pleading.

But Ji Yan only glanced at her, his eyes so deep it seemed he could hide the entire ocean of data within them.

He didn't speak, but simply nodded and took a firm step forward.

Then, his figure was swallowed up by the crimson light of the door.

"Wait!" Chenxi's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she rushed towards the door with almost all her might. But the moment her fingertips touched the edge of the crack, a strange energy fluctuation instantly blasted her back.

Lin Ruoyu gently raised her hand, and a pale blue barrier quietly rose up. "It's not your turn yet."

"What did you say?" Chenxi roared through gritted teeth, "I don't care if you're dead or alive, Ji Yan is already in there! And you're still playing tricks here?!"

Lin Ruoyu sighed softly, "None of you are ready. And he... has to face that version of himself."

"And what about yourself?" Su Ting suddenly spoke up. "Aren't you part of it too? How can you stand outside and make sarcastic remarks?"

Lin Ruoyu smiled. "I'm waiting for you. Waiting for the moment when you're truly willing to step inside."

Chu Mo sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. You think this is an exam? A multiple-choice question? You're so damn relaxed, watching us struggle in pain while playing your high and mighty game master!"

Lin Ruoyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her voice was no longer gentle:

"If you think this is just a game, then you'd better leave now."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The woman in white robes spoke coldly, "She's right. You can still leave now."

Chapter 1103 The Little Pawns to be Manipulated

"Heh." Chu Mo scoffed, "Too late my foot! We've come this far, who would back down? But I'm not some pawn to be manipulated. Either tell me the truth, or we'll tear each other apart."

Lin Ruoyu stared at him for a moment, a bitter smile slowly appearing on her lips.

“You think I don’t know what you want to hear?” she whispered. “What happened five years ago, how I got back… right?”

Chu Mo's fingers, gripping the energy blade, turned white. "Yes. And this time I won't give you any chance to beat around the bush. If you say it once and it's not enough, I'll ask a second time. If you still don't tell me... I'll pry your mouth open with my own hands."

Lin Ruoyu looked at him for a while, then gently shook her head: "Do you remember the seventh day after the B3 accident? You were the only one who woke up in the entire training camp; everyone else was gone, right?"

Chu Mo frowned sharply. "How do you know this detail? Those files should have been encrypted and sealed long ago! Only the higher-ups would know... No, there's no way you could know this!"

“I know it’s because I was there too,” Lin Ruoyu said calmly, “but… I came back from 'there'.”

Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze once again.

Morning Light murmured softly, "You said you...you also participated in Mission B3? But we've never seen your number...your face...nobody recognizes you..."

“That’s because my codename back then wasn’t Lin Ruoyu,” she paused, a hint of sadness in her voice, “but ‘N0142’.”

Everyone's pupils shocked.

Su Ting slowly approached: "What do you mean? Isn't that the test subject's number? Are you the one being experimented on?"

“Yes.” Lin Ruoyu nodded. “I was originally just a failed product of the plan… a mutant that shouldn’t have been alive.”

The woman in white finally revealed her astonishment: "You are a product of Xie Qingwu's early experimental subjects? Shouldn't you have... completely collapsed during the first abnormal data fusion test?"

"Collapse?" Lin Ruoyu scoffed. "I just escaped."

"Escape? How is that possible?" Chu Mo's eyes widened. "That level of closed system would even lock your consciousness. How could you possibly escape?"

“Because I found another path.” Lin Ruoyu looked at the door. “Go through it. Lead to a crack that truly exists… There is another world there. A world that does not belong to data nor to reality.”

Chenxi felt a chill run down her spine: "So everything you said is true... What's hidden behind the door isn't just the shadow of the past... but also evidence of your existence."

“Yes.” Lin Ruoyu looked at her. “It’s also a memory you’ve been trying to deny. You think it’s just a dream, an illusion, but in reality… each of you left your own fragment there. It’s just that you’re afraid to admit it.”

"Shut up!" Chu Mo roared, "If everything is true... then why did we forget in the first place? Why are there no traces in any records? What makes you think we'd believe your nonsense?!"

“Because memories can be edited and consciousness can be faked.” Lin Ruoyu said, word by word, “Your so-called ‘awakening’ is nothing but a script arranged by humans. And now… the door has been opened, and the truth is no longer determined by them, but by us—the real you.”

She turned to look at the deep, dark crack: "Ji Yan has already gone in. He will be the first to see the real world... and the real us."

Chapter 1104 Let's take a gamble.

Chenxi bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. She murmured, "He's all alone... so lonely."

Su Ting gently took her trembling hand. "Don't be afraid."

Chu Mo looked down at his palm, as if trying to find the answer in the lines on his hand. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his eyes, a flame igniting within them.

“Fine,” he said. “Since that’s the case… let’s take a gamble. I refuse to believe there’s any truth in this world that can’t be faced!”

Lin Ruoyu smiled.

She turned to the side, making an inviting gesture.

"The door is always open to you."

Just then, a clear, childlike voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, rang out from inside the space—

"You've all come back."

The sound was like a key, clicking open a long-sealed memory switch.

Chenxi trembled, her eyes welling up with tears. "This...this voice...how is this possible...I remember, after the mission ended...every time I dreamed, it was this voice calling me home."

The woman in white said softly, "It seems... we have all been summoned here by fate."

“Let’s go.” Su Ting took the first step forward. “Let’s go see… how our past and future were woven into this lie.”

The moment he stepped into the door, the entire space trembled slightly, as if a string in time and space was loosening.

Chen Xi wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and stepped inside; Chu Mo was the last to enter.

Lin Ruoyu watched their figures disappear into the red light and shadow in silence, a complex expression on her face.

After a long silence, she whispered—

"Will you remember me this time?"

The door closed slowly.

The darkness outside the door returned to silence, leaving only a faint ray of light that lingered in the air for a long time.

The little girl's voice was like a seed that fell into the long-silent wasteland of memory, and Ji Yan stood on this ruin.

A strange electronic scent filled the air, a smell that didn't belong to this world—neither like dust nor the metallic odor of flowing data. The ground beneath my feet seemed pieced together from shattered dreams, the mottled surface reflecting the shadows of bygone worlds.

"Welcome back."

The child's voice rang out again, carrying a kind of unsettling joy.

Ji Yan didn't respond, but slowly raised his hand, watching the light and shadow flowing through his fingers. It was a peculiar feeling, as if time here was alive, breathing, twisting, and reshaping every second.

The little girl emerged from behind the ruins, dressed in a pure white dress, her black hair swaying gently, her smile gentle yet chilling.

“You still came.” She looked up at him. “You beat them to it. I guess you wanted to be the first to see me.”

"Who are you?" Ji Yan asked in a low voice.

“I am the part of you that you’ve forgotten,” the little girl smiled, tilting her head. “And also the memory you’re unwilling to face.”

"Stop talking nonsense." Ji Yan frowned. "I didn't come here to listen to fairy tales. Tell me, why were we deceived? Why did we 'disappear'? And..." He gritted his teeth, "Who exactly is Lin Ruoyu?"

The little girl giggled: "How do you know she's someone else? Maybe she's the one who truly belongs to this world?"

"Bullshit," Ji Yan said coldly. "I only care about the truth. No matter where we are, all I want is the truth."
