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

"No—!" The voice lost its composure for the first time, roaring like thunder, "Lin Wan! You will destroy everything! Your sister's consciousness will completely dissipate! You will have nothing!"

"Then it's all for nothing!" Lin Wan roared, her eyes consumed by the light. "Whatever I choose, even if it's nothing at all, it's real!"

A white light swept in all directions, the mechanical core trembled violently, countless connecting lines broke inch by inch, flesh and blood were charred black, and metal melted.

Su Ting suddenly tackled Chen Mo to the ground, looking up at the devastating light: "You madman! You're fucking insane!"

"Let's go crazy together!" Chen Mo laughed loudly, then shoved the star-shaped pen into the ground with his other hand. "Since he dares to burn himself, then I'll burn my life too!"

Golden and silver light burst forth from his pen, flowing into Lin Wan's radiant light.

"Two lunatics!" Su Ting cursed, but he also stood up, his fists blazing with black flames. "Damn it... anyway, my mother didn't expect me to live long!"

He punched into the void, and flames coiled around the mechanical core like a tornado.

"Cheng Yuan—! This punch is for all the children you've locked up here!"

The three forces converged, like a trident piercing through the darkness.

boom--! ! !

The entire black tower exploded with a deafening roar, and light surged forth like a torrent, engulfing everything in its path.

The door, woven from starlight, trembled violently in the light, and the cracks widened, as if leading to another universe.

Lin Wan knelt on the ground, trembling all over. The light on his chest slowly faded, and his life force was rapidly draining away.

"Hurry up!" Su Ting hoisted him up. "The door won't hold for much longer!"

"Wait..." Lin Wan weakly raised her hand, "Sister...she's still inside..."

“She’s gone.” Su Ting’s voice was low. “Her consciousness… dissipated the moment you ignited yourself.”

Lin Wan closed her eyes, and a tear slid down her cheek.

"But in the end...did she smile?"

Su Ting was taken aback.

He remembered that at the very moment the core collapsed, that familiar figure gently raised a hand in the light, as if straightening his collar.

Chapter 1288 I've been waiting for you for a long time

Then, it turned into stardust.

“Hmm,” Su Ting said softly, “She smiled. She said—'Silly little brother, let’s go home.'”

Lin Wan's lips curled up slightly.

The three staggered toward the portal, and the tower behind them collapsed completely, turning into ashes.

Just as they were about to step inside—

A slender figure stood quietly behind the door.

She wore white, had long hair, and wore a gentle smile.

"Wanwan," she said softly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Wan was startled.

"You... are not her."

“I’m not.” The girl nodded. “I’m the ‘gatekeeper’ of her last stage of consciousness reconstruction. I can’t go with you, but I can see you off.”

She raised her hand, and a small wind chime appeared in her palm.

She said, "Here, take this back."

Lin Wan took the wind chime and gently shook it.

jingle--

The crisp sound echoed in the void, like the gentle breeze of a summer night in childhood.

"Let's go," the girl smiled. "Don't look back."

The three stepped into the portal of light.

Just as the door was about to close, Chen Mo suddenly turned around.

From the ashes, a blurry figure slowly emerged.

Wearing an old-fashioned white coat, her face was blurred, but she gently waved to him.

"Mom...?" Chen Mo's breath hitched.

The figure didn't speak, but simply raised its hand and made a familiar gesture—gently patting the pillow, as if to say: **Sleep well, don't be afraid.**

Chen Mo bit his lip hard and finally turned around.

The light gate closes.

The world fell silent.

I do not know how long it has been.

In a hospital room, the electrocardiogram monitor emitted a long "beep."

All three life support capsules were activated simultaneously.

Lin Wan suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils contracting sharply.

The ceiling is white.

There was a smell of disinfectant in the air.

He raised his hand, trembling, and looked at his palm—

The wind chimes are still there.

"Cough cough..." A coughing sound came from the right.

Su Ting sat up, his face pale, but he grinned: "Damn it... I'm still alive?"

On the left, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling, and murmured:

"Mom...I'm back."

Lin Wan propped herself up and looked out the window.

As dawn broke, the light shone on the withered green plant on the windowsill.

He said softly:

"Sister, we...are home."

"Lin Wan, do you really think this is just the end?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears, so low it was almost like a hallucination.

Lin Wan turned around abruptly, but the hospital bed was empty. Yet the voice was so clear, as if whispered right next to her ear.

"You think you've closed the door? You've just... pushed it deeper inside."

"Who?!" He suddenly stood up, a tearing pain shooting through his chest, as if the wound left by the stardust pen had never healed.

Su Ting instantly became alert, kicking over the IV stand next to the hospital bed. Black flames surged in his palm: "Who's talking? If you don't come out, I'll pry you out of the data crevices and burn you to ashes!"

Chen Mo didn't move, but slowly raised his wrist—a pale golden pattern had appeared on it at some point, winding around his pulse like a vine, and was slightly warm.

“It followed us out.” His voice was soft, but it made the air in the entire ward freeze.

"What followed us out?" Su Ting roared.

“The underlying protocol of the Dream Tower.” Chen Mo looked down at the patterns. “It’s not Cheng Yuan, it’s not the system… it’s something that existed before them. I should have realized it sooner—the ‘Star Sand Pen’ was never created by humans. It doesn’t belong to reality, nor does it belong to dreams. It’s the key to the ‘door’ itself… and the door should never be opened twice.”

Chapter 1289 Dark Red Liquid

As soon as he finished speaking, the morning light outside the window suddenly became distorted.

The sunlight was like paper crumpled by some force; the light bent and folded, eventually condensing into a vertical crack, like an eye slowly opening.

The temperature in the ward plummeted, and dark red liquid began to seep from the walls, drop by drop, forming lines of distorted text:

"Container has been returned to its original position. Restart the program to begin."

Subject No. 0—Lin Wan, welcome back to the main dream world.

"Screw your return!" Su Ting roared, slamming his fists against the wall, black flames erupting. "I just crawled out of there, and you want to shove us back in?!"

The moment the flames touched the words, they seemed to writhe as if alive, climbing back up the flames and lunging at Su Ting's arm!

"Watch out!" Lin Wan rushed forward and pushed him away, but a line of blood wrapped around her wrist.

The same golden lines immediately appeared under the skin and quickly spread to the forearm.

"Don't touch me!" He gritted his teeth and shook off his hand, only to find that the pattern was exactly the same as Chen Mo's, except that the color was darker and the edges had a faint blue light.

"Look!" Chen Mo suddenly pointed to the window.

The cityscape outside is "melting." High-rise buildings lean and stretch like candles, streets turn into flowing rivers of data, and pedestrians' faces are blurred, leaving only empty eye sockets, all turning towards hospital wards.

They were all watching them.
