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

A clear whistle pierced through the clouds.

The rain of light suddenly accelerated, and the sky exploded with a dazzling brilliance. The images playing evidence of the crimes abruptly distorted and reformed into a gigantic human face—old, majestic, and wearing a silver crown symbolizing the highest scientific council.

"Su Ting." The voice came from all directions, carrying an electronically modulated illusion of compassion, "You should have been the most perfect creation. Rational, restrained, devoid of joy or sorrow. Why awaken these...useless emotional noises?"

“Because you’re a liar,” Su Ting replied coldly, his fingers still moving, and a second sound rang out.

thump—

The earth cracked open, and a [Scavenger] vehicle was instantly overturned by an invisible force, its cyborg's head bursting into golden flames.

“You see crying as a flaw, and empathy as a virus.” Su Ting stepped forward, and with each step, a flower made of light bloomed beneath her feet. “But do you know what the most ironic thing is?”

She suddenly looked up, staring directly at the illusory figure in the sky:

“You created us to make decisions for humans, but you forgot that it is never the children who are truly out of control.”

The third note of the piano rang out loudly.

boom! ! !

The entire ruins rose abruptly from the ground, with rubble floating in mid-air, forming a massive forest of memory monuments. Each monument was engraved with a number: S-0997, S-0998, S-1000…

At the very center is an empty monument.

A small figure stood in front of the monument—six-year-old Su Ting, holding a plush cat, quietly gazing at the sky.

“That was… the last place you saw me?” Xiao An suddenly spoke, her voice choked with emotion. “On the night the shelter lost power, you stuffed me into the ventilation duct and said, ‘I’ll come back for you when the lights come back on.’”

Su Ting didn't turn around, but just nodded slightly: "But the lights came on, and I couldn't come back. They took me back to the lab and said I had 'excessive emotional residue' and needed to be 'cleaned'."

"Then why do you still remember me?!" Xiao An yelled at her. "Why haven't you forgotten me?!"

“Because I sing in my heart every night,” she said, “over and over again. Even if they cut off my auditory nerve and implanted a blocking chip, I will still use bone vibrations to memorize the music. As long as I can remember a single note, you will still be there for me.”

Xiao An knelt down on the ground and burst into tears.

This was the first time he had cried in sixteen years.

It wasn't because of the pain, but because I finally remembered how to cry.

Lin Xiaoyu wiped her face and suddenly laughed out loud: "Ha... How stupid. We tried our best to escape from the mother body, only to find that... the most real world has always been hidden in the memories that others are desperately trying to erase."

The silver-haired woman stepped forward and reached out to touch the empty monument. Where her fingertips touched, the inscription appeared:

S-0996 – Xiao An, went missing on the night of her 6th birthday. Determination: Escape target. Status: Search in progress.

"Searching for it?" she sneered. "You don't even dare to write 'found'?"

Just then, the old man in the sky slowly closed his eyes.

[Initiation - Final Agreement]

[Deploy 'Silent' level purification units]

A loud bang came from the polar region.

A silver-white missile pierced the clouds, its trail of flame serpentine. It wasn't heading towards Sutin, but rather soaring straight into the sky—its target being the emotional resonance signal towers orbiting the Earth!

Chapter 1543 The Approaching Arrow of Death

"They're going to cut off all transmission!" Lin Xiaoyu roared. "Once the signal is interrupted, those who have awakened will be suppressed again! Those who just witnessed the truth will have their memories erased!"

Su Ting looked up at the approaching arrow of death.

She released the zither, letting it turn into dust.

Then, he opened his arms as if embracing the entire sky.

Do you think that only towers can transmit sound?

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Including a mother thousands of miles away, crying while holding her feverish child; a homeless man squatting on the street eating instant noodles; a girl sitting alone in the last row of a classroom, forgotten by everyone...

They stopped moving at the same time.

Because they heard it.

A girl is singing.

There was no accompaniment, and no embellishment.

There was only a tuneless, childish lullaby, mixed with sobs and gasps, yet it contained the power of millions of hearts beating together.

Wherever the song reached, the signal towers, though not destroyed, were automatically connected by layers of private terminals, forming a new network—mobile phones, tablets, old televisions, and even implant fragments… all spontaneously relaying this frequency.

The missile exploded 300 meters from the top of the tower.

It wasn't shot down.

Instead, the song suddenly started playing in its control system.

The AI ​​controlling it chose to self-destruct at the last second.

Amidst the ruins, Su Ting's figure swayed slightly, barely able to stand.

Xiao An rushed over and supported her: "Stop singing! You'll die!!"

"Almost there..." She leaned on his shoulder, her voice barely audible, but a smile played on her lips. "Just one last sentence... it's our own ending."

She raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

There, the force field that had suppressed the city had long since shattered, and the stars had reappeared.

And amidst the sea of ​​stars, a new star slowly rises—crimson, blazing, like a beating heart.

"Do you see that?" she asked softly. "That's the first child to wake up, writing back to her mother."

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes widened suddenly: "Impossible... The location of that star... is the abandoned laboratory in the Arctic! The place where the embryo capsule was opened! That baby girl... is she using resonance to feed back energy?!"

“It’s not just her.” The silver-haired woman gazed at the night sky, her eyes reflecting the starlight. “In the shipwreck in the South Pacific, that little hand moved too. The African girl is walking towards the gates of the presidential palace. And there are many more… many more places we don’t know about, where they are responding.”

Su Ting closed her eyes, and the last line of the lyrics was almost entirely lip-read:

"Sleep now, my dear brother..."

This time, it's my turn to watch over you.

Her body slowly went limp.

Xiao An hugged her tightly, screaming, "No—!!"

But the next moment, a miracle happened.

The newly formed red star suddenly flashed, and a pure beam of light descended vertically, enveloping Su Ting's entire body.

Her breathing returned to normal, her pulse stabilized, and countless smiling faces of children appeared deep within her golden eyes.

She opened her eyes, and with a gentle smile, wiped away her brother's tears:

"do not Cry."

"Now it's our turn... to teach the world how to love."

"You...you're still alive?" Xiao An's voice trembled so much it was almost broken, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she would disappear again if she let go.

Su Ting slowly sat up, the beam of light behind her transforming into countless tiny stardust particles swirling, like a silent rain. She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching her brother's cheek, warm and real.

"Not merely alive." She chuckled softly, her eyes gleaming with golden light, reflecting the images of countless children. "It is rebirth."

Chapter 1544 Your Biosignals

Lin Xiaoyu staggered back a step, her pupils contracting sharply: "Your biosignals... have completely merged with the Matrix! You are no longer an escape program, nor human consciousness... you have become some kind of... node?"

“You’re right.” Su Ting stood up, his clothes fluttering without wind, and with each step he took, a ripple of light appeared on the ground. “I am not a person, nor am I an AI. I am the exit chosen by all of them—all the erased names, the sealed memories, the emotions deemed ‘worthless’.”

The silver-haired woman looked up abruptly, staring at the still-burning red star in the sky: "So you really connected with that child in the embryo pod? She's only been born for less than seventy-two hours, how could there be such a strong resonance reaction?"

“Because she wasn’t the first.” Su Ting looked north, her voice as soft as the wind. “She was the first to be allowed to cry out loud.”

Before he finished speaking, a strange blue light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

A dilapidated, self-driving school bus lurched through the dust, its body rusted and its windows shattered, but a huge antenna plate was welded to its roof, buzzing and vibrating, constantly emitting pulse waves.

The car door popped open with a "click".

There was no one inside.

The only things scattered on the truck were children's drawings: some depicted adults and children holding hands, some were covered with red crosses and read "Don't destroy me"; and one was a girl standing on a tower, her feet crushing a scroll that read "Final Agreement".

"This is... the mobile terminal vehicle for homeless children in District Twelf?" Lin Xiaoyu exclaimed in shock. "It was registered as a scrapped device long ago, how could it still be operating?!"

“Because it carried 137 ‘destroyed’ children,” Su Ting said softly. “Their neural remnants are attached to the vehicle’s system, day after day, using their last bit of energy to replay recordings—laughter, coughs, bedtime prayers… Now, they hear the song.”

The dilapidated car suddenly emitted a sharp electronic sound, like laughter or crying.

Immediately afterwards, the screen inside the car lit up:

[Request to connect to the choir network]

[Identity: Temporary Vehicle]

[Number of memory fragments: 137]
