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

Chapter 1528 The Child's Notice

The same scene played out everywhere: a child's handwritten diary, a parent's missing person notice, a deleted audio file in a laboratory... buried memories flooded into every screen like a burst dam.

A scavenger who was charging forward suddenly stopped.

He looked down at his hands and let out a painful whimper.

"……mom?"

He took off his helmet, revealing a face that was too young for his age, his eyes bloodshot, yet tears were rolling down his cheeks.

“I…I remember…I called for my mother…They said I shouldn’t cry…so I swallowed the sound…”

He knelt down.

Then, the second, the third... the cleaners stopped one after another, some squatting or kneeling, some burying their heads in their hands and crying, some murmuring calls for their loved ones, and some simply tearing their uniforms to shreds.

Their suppressors were still functioning, but the song pierced through the code, awakening the "human" buried deep within.

The array of drones in the sky shook violently, and some began to crash out of control.

[System crash... Reset process interrupted... Repeat: Interrupted...]

"You won?" Lin Xiaoyu asked, trembling.

"Not yet." Su Ting looked at a tall tower in the distance that had not yet collapsed, his pupils shrinking. "Look there."

At the top of the tower, a figure in black robes stood silently, holding a black chip in his hand, which he slowly inserted into the interface on his chest.

It was the figure on the high platform in the projection.

“The plan failed… so let’s restart.” He murmured. “Since emotions cannot be extinguished… let them burn completely.”

He flipped the switch.

In an instant, a terrifying tremor came from underground!

The city's foundation cracked, and crimson energy surged from the ground, coalescing into a gigantic phantom—

It was a giant machine made of flesh and metal, with thousands of nerve chains hanging down like roots, each connection point being the number of a missing child.

[Final Agreement Initiated: Reconstructing a 'New World Order' with the Heartbeats of Millions of Mute People]

"Who is he?!" Su Ting roared.

The boy was pale, but he smiled: "He was... the first scientist. He was also... the first person to transform himself into a machine. His name was 'Patriarchy'—the creator of Project Silence, and also... the 'father' of all children."

"A madman!" Dora screamed. "He's going to extract the hearts of all the Awakened and turn them into living energy!"

“Then let him taste what it’s like to be rebelled against by a child.” Su Ting turned around and grabbed the boy’s hand. “Can you connect with all the repressed souls?”

The boy nodded, a torrent of data flashing in his eyes: "As long as they're willing to respond to me."

“Then sing louder!” She tilted her head back and roared at the sky, “Let’s sing together! Let this bastard hear clearly—we are not tools! Not weapons! Not his sons!!”

The boy took a deep breath and opened his arms again.

Millions of viewers saw his lips through the camera lens.

Then, simultaneously, tens of thousands of live streaming channels around the world resounded with the chorus of millions of people—

There were elderly people, children, prisoners, soldiers, and homeless people whose names had long been forgotten...

They sang together the lullaby that had never been officially released.

The singing was like a tsunami, crashing into the tower.

The man in black robes stood at the top, his body shaking violently, sparks flying from the chip interface.

"Impossible... Emotions... are just a virus... they can be purified..."

“You are the virus,” the boy whispered, pointing with his fingertip. “And we are the immune system.”

Chapter 1529 The Final Key to the Plan

His watch cracked, revealing a string of ancient code:

[S-1000: The one with the highest authority, the child of the mother, the final key to the silent plan]

“Now,” the boy looked at Su Ting and smiled, “shall we press it together?”

Su Ting gazed at him, then reached out and intertwined her fingers with his.

“Of course,” she chuckled. “After all, I’m your sister.”

The two pressed the watch fragments at the same time.

[Ultimate Command Confirmed: OVERRIDE-SILENCE Protocol]

[System overwrite in progress...]

[The silent core... is dissolving.]

The man in black robes let out a defiant roar, his body twisting and disintegrating in the red light.

"You think...it's over? As long as there is fear...and loneliness...'silence' will never...disappear—"

The words stopped abruptly.

A silver light descended from the sky and gently covered the boy's shoulder.

He looked up and saw a real shooting star streak across the night sky.

He asked softly:

"Sister, do you think... if we both survive, could we get a cat?"

Su Ting was startled, looking down at the boy's upturned face. Moonlight fell into his pupils like scattered starlight. Her throat bobbed, and she suddenly laughed, but a tear slid down her cheek.

"I can raise ten of them." She ruffled his hair, her voice hoarse but gentle, "As long as you don't sing alone anymore."

“But I like to sing for you.” He winked. “Just for you.”

Dora suddenly jumped up from behind the console, pointing to the sky: "Look! The signal towers are disappearing! All the 'Silent Core' nodes... are down!"

Above the city, the gray-black data cloud that had once shrouded the city like an iron curtain was crumbling, cracking open with golden fissures. For the first time, sunlight pierced through the dust, shining on the ruins and illuminating countless figures kneeling, weeping, and then slowly embracing each other.

Lin Xiaoyu stood beside her brother, still holding the bell in her hand, gently swaying it. She looked up at the sky and murmured, "Mom...we heard you."

Suddenly, a loud tearing sound of metal coming from afar!

The tower had not completely collapsed—the colossal body formed from the fusion of flesh and machinery had not yet completely dissipated! Its core flickered with an eerie red light, and the remaining nerve chains twitched wildly, tearing several abysses open in the ground.

A distorted voice came from the depths of the ruins:

“You…cannot kill me…I am order…I am the law…I am…Father.”

Su Ting suddenly shielded the boy behind him, the blade flashing in front of him: "Trash who isn't quite dead deserves another kick!"

“It’s not him.” The boy raised his hand and pressed down on her arm, his face pale. “That’s ‘Echo’… a remnant of his consciousness left in the system. As long as there is one person who is afraid, obedient, or silent… it can be reborn.”

"Then let it see what it means to not be silent!" Lin Xiaoyu roared, and suddenly rang the bell!

The crisp sound of bells pierced the air, instantly followed by the singing of millions of people—those who had just awakened, whether or not they had been experimentally modified, whether or not they had been mute for many years, all stood up at this moment.

On the street corner, an old beggar tore off the strip of cloth covering his mouth and began to sing an old nursery rhyme in a hoarse voice.

On the rooftop, a one-armed boy holds up a broken data cable as war drums beat.

In a subway tunnel, a group of children who had been imprisoned held hands and formed a human bridge to support a still-functioning projector, projecting their songs into the night sky.

In the global live broadcast, billions of faces opened their mouths simultaneously.

Chapter 1530 This is what it means to be alive

[The intensity of the resonant wave exceeds the critical value].

[Emotional data is injected back into the parent body]

[The 'Echo' protocol is collapsing]

"Aaaaaah—!!" The afterimage roared inhumanly, its body beginning to peel away piece by piece. "You...inferior life forms...what right do you have to resist a perfect world!!"

"Why should I?" Su Ting sneered, stepping forward. "Because we feel pain, we cry, we miss home, and we fight for others—you call these flaws? Ha! This is what it means to be alive!"

She charged forward, leaping into the air just before the last nerve chain snapped, her electromagnetic dagger plunging deep into the pulsating core!

"I said—we are not sons!"

The blade unleashed a powerful pulse, and the entire mechanical colossus exploded!

Crimson energy scattered and splashed, turning into a rain of light that drifted down like ashes from a fire. Within that rain of light, the blurry faces of children emerged—some laughing, some crying, and some sleeping peacefully with their eyes closed.

“It’s them…” The boy reached out, a ray of light swirling around his fingertips, “Those children who couldn’t wake up… They’re saying thank you.”

Dora slumped down in front of the terminal, wiping her face: "The system is wiped clean... all the monitoring programs, tracking code, emotion suppression algorithms... all formatted. Even the backups are gone."

She looked up, her voice trembling: "We...we really won?"

"It's not over yet," the boy said softly, gazing at the distant horizon.

Everyone followed his gaze—
