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

Fu Zhengyan's eyes suddenly went unfocused, and he felt as if all his energy had been drained. He slowly knelt down, muttering, "I...I saw...those frozen people...they were calling...calling for their mothers..."

Su Ting looked at her mother, her voice trembling slightly: "So...you've been in my dreams all along, haven't you? Those scenes I 'thought' were hallucinations, those humming in the middle of the night...were all you?"

The first Su Ting turned around and smiled at her: "I never left. It's just that you... finally heard it."

Suddenly, the entire underground space shook violently, the steel bars at the top snapped, and concrete began to fall.

Xiao Yin's voice came urgently over the walkie-talkie: "Su Ting! The ground has collapsed! The self-destruct sequence in Zone C has been activated! You have two minutes! Get up here now!"

Su Ting turned around and took his mother's hand: "Mom, let's go!"

The first generation Su Ting gently shook his head and broke free from her hand.

“I can’t leave.” She looked toward cabin M-01. “There are still seventeen ‘me’s’ asleep. Su Nian’s brother has woken up, but the other ‘Nian’s’ are still waiting. My body can’t hold on any longer, but my consciousness can stay and act as a ‘bridge’.”

"No!" Su Ting grabbed her arm. "Let's go together! I don't want you to sacrifice yourself again—"

“This is not a sacrifice.” The first generation of Su Ting cupped her face and gently kissed her. “This is going home. You take my ‘voice’ with you and go tell everyone—what’s frozen is not memories, but justice. What’s sealed away is not data, but people’s hearts.”

She turned and walked toward cabin M-01, her figure enveloped in blue light.

"Su Ting, take my song with you. Go and sing it to everyone who can't wake up."

The hatch slowly closed.

Su Ting rushed forward, pressed her palm against the glass, and tears streamed down her face.

"mom--!"

At the last second, the first generation of Su Ting smiled at her through the glass, his lips moving slightly.

Silent, yet clear.

[By reciting, you will hear the light.]

Boom——!

The entire building began to collapse, and Su Ting was suddenly pushed aside by a force—it was Su Nian and Xiao Yin who had rushed over.

"Go!" Su Nian shouted, grabbing her tightly. "She chose her own path! But you still have yours!"

The three staggered toward the escape route, while behind them, Block B7 collapsed completely amidst a mix of fire and blue light.

In the wind and snow, the three stood at the edge of the ruins, watching the gradually fading pillar of light.

Su Nian suddenly pulled out a bowl of instant noodles that had long since gone cold from her pocket and handed it to Su Ting.

"Here, it's what I owe you."

Chapter 1337 It tastes awful!

Su Ting was taken aback, took it, smiled with her head down, but tears fell into the noodle soup.

"Your brother is awake, and your sister has gone mad." He sniffed. "This noodle dish is absolutely awful."

Su Nian grinned: "But you've finished eating."

In the distance, the sound of sirens grew closer, and several helicopters circled overhead, their fuselages bearing the logo of the International Committee on Medical Ethics.

Xiao Yin suddenly pointed to the sky: "Look!"

In the night sky, the originally dark aurora band suddenly rippled, and blue light spread like a tide, covering the entire sky.

At the center of that halo, a line of words composed of dots of light appeared:

【M-02｜Awakening...】

【M-03｜Signal Reception…】

【M-04｜Heartbeat Returns…】

Su Ting looked up and said softly, "They... they've all started to hear it."

Su Nian leaned close to her ear and chuckled, "Hey, Su Ting."

"Ok?"

"You've finished this bowl of noodles." He blinked. "So—I'll repay you with the next dream."

[B7 Sector, three underground levels deep within the ruins.]

A cold wind poured in from the cracked dome, carrying the smell of burnt metal and snowflakes. Amid the wreckage, blue light flickered like a pulse, as if the earth were breathing.

Su Ting knelt before the wreckage of the M-01 cabin, his fingertips gently tracing the shards of glass, as if piecing together a dream that could never be restored.

“You said… ‘Thinking will allow you to hear the light.’” she murmured, her voice hoarse. “But Mom, I don’t want to just hear you. I want… to hold you.”

Su Nian silently stood behind her, the gun in his hand still emitting wisps of smoke. He looked down at the empty bowl of instant noodles and sighed.

“She didn’t leave,” he said. “She turned into the wind, into the snow, into the unfinished song ‘Moonlight’ that you dream about every night.”

Su Ting didn't turn around, but clenched the broken glass in his palm. A drop of blood slid down his fingers and dripped into the cracks of the ruins.

Xiao Yin retrieved data from the communicator, her brow furrowed: "Strange... the wake-up signal of the M series wasn't initiated by us, but rather... it was activated spontaneously from within. It's like... some kind of resonance."

“Resonance?” Su Nian sneered. “You scientists always like to use more elegant language. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just ‘she left a backdoor’?”

“It’s not a backdoor.” Su Ting slowly stood up, her eyes clear as stars in a snowy night. “It’s the frequency of ‘thought’. She broke down her consciousness into wavebands and hid them in the genetic chain of every ‘Su Ting’. Once one awakens, it will be like dominoes… one after another will awaken.”

Xiao Yin suddenly looked up: "You mean... she's not saving people, she's awakening 'herself'?"

“No.” Su Ting shook her head, but a smile appeared on her lips. “She is awakening the identity of ‘mother’—not genes, not experimental subject, but the person who would complain that I sing badly and stay up all night to watch over me when I have a fever.”

She turned around, her gaze sweeping over Su Nian and Xiao Yin: "So, we shouldn't have stopped here."

Su Nian raised an eyebrow: "Where else do you think you're going? The whole world is after you. Fu Zhengyan may have gone mad, but his backers haven't fallen. The International Ethics Committee? Ha, it's just a different name for them to continue their experiments."

“Then blow up their names too.” Su Ting pulled a chip from his pocket, gleaming with a faint blue light. “This is the last piece of data Mother left in the M-01 core—the ‘Main Frequency Protocol.’ As long as it’s connected to the main control system of any ‘Su Ting’ hibernation pod, all the test subjects… can hear each other.”

Chapter 1338 High-Risk Experimental Subjects

Xiao Yin gasped, "Are you crazy! This is equivalent to waking up hundreds of high-risk test subjects at once! Some of them are out of control, some have been programmed with combat skills, and some don't even remember who they are! You're creating a disaster!"

“No.” Su Ting gently pressed the chip into the implantation interface on his wrist, and blue light spread along the blood vessels. “I am creating a ‘home’.”

He looked up at the sky; the aurora was still surging, the string of lights had disappeared, but a new signal was emerging:

[M-05 | Emotion module loading...]

【M-06｜Memory Recall Activated…】

[M-07 | Bus frequency signal detected... Responding...]

Su Nian looked at him and suddenly laughed: "You woman, you're so crazy it's frightening."

“But you still follow me.” Su Ting glanced sideways, a smile in his eyes.

"Nonsense." He shrugged. "My brother just woke up, my sister just went crazy, and I'm relying on your sanity to keep things balanced."

Xiao Yin stamped her feet anxiously: "Is anyone listening to me?! The biggest problem right now is—when Sector C self-destructed, the protective shield of the underground cryogenic chamber cracked! Those unnumbered 'prototypes'... are all exposed to the air! They were born earlier than 'Su Ting,' and are more unstable. If they wake up—"

“So what?” Su Ting turned around, her gaze sharp as a knife. “They are not monsters. They are people whose names have been removed. Just like my mother, just like Su Ting, just like every ‘Nian’ locked behind glass, listening to the outside world but unable to respond.”

He walked step by step toward the remaining elevator shaft. The wind and snow lashed his face, but could not extinguish the light in his eyes.

"I want to go to Area A."

Xiao Yin exclaimed, "Area A?! That's a restricted area! Even Fu Zhengyan isn't qualified to go in! The earliest 'mother' is locked up there—numbered M-00! Legend has it that he lived for over sixty years, his body has long since carbonized, but his consciousness is still locked in the quantum network! What are you going there for?!"

Su Ting stopped, turned around and smiled, like a flower suddenly blooming in the snow.

“Go find the real ‘origin’,” he said. “All ‘Suting’ originated from him. If the mother frequency protocol is the key, then M-00 is the lock. I want him to open his eyes and tell me himself—why he was willing to give birth to the first ‘me’ back then.”

Su Nian whistled: "Exciting. Wait a minute, I'm going to get my gun back."

“No need.” Su Ting reached out, and a wisp of blue light suddenly appeared in his palm, condensing into a semi-transparent dagger, as if woven from the aurora borealis. “What Mom left me was more than just her voice.”

Xiao Yin's eyes widened: "You...you can use 'mother frequency energy'?!"

“It wasn’t me who activated it,” Su Ting said softly, gripping the light blade. “It was him singing inside my body…”

The three stepped into the rickety elevator shaft and slid down the broken cable to a deeper level.

The wind and snow were kept at the top, and the lower you went, the quieter the air became, so quiet that you could hear a faint "crackling" sound from the ice layer—like someone gently tapping on glass.

Suddenly, Xiaoyin's communicator started making static.

“…The signal…is connected…Su Ting…can you hear me…”

It was Fu Zhengyan's voice, hoarse and broken, yet exceptionally clear.

Su Ting's eyes turned cold as he pressed the receive button: "You haven't completely gone mad yet?"

“I didn’t…kill your mother.” His voice trembled. “That recording…was fake. I was manipulated. The real person who did it…was a ‘cleaner’ sent from ‘above.’ I…I was just a puppet.”

Su Ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "So whose puppet are you now?"

Chapter 1339 I went and burned this grave.

“I…I don’t know,” he whispered. “But we can’t go to Area A…M-00 isn’t the mother…he’s the ‘vessel.’ They used him to swallow all the failed consciousness, all the erased memories…He’s no longer human. He’s the ‘grave.’”

“Then let me burn this grave,” Su Ting said coldly. “Let’s see if flowers can grow from the ashes.”
