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

The man's fingertips were warm and steady, as if they had pierced through the hardest part of all his memories.

"Your real name is—"

boom!

A loud bang suddenly erupted from the floor beneath their feet!

The rooftop shook violently, dust billowing everywhere. The sound of a steel bar snapping pierced the air, and the man abruptly withdrew his hand, turning to be on guard.

Chu Mo gripped his pistol and roared, "I hate this kind of pretentious nonsense!"

Xiao You had already pulled Su Ting back: "Watch your head!"

A section of the collapsed ceiling crashed down on the spot where they had just been standing, shattering into countless pieces of stone.

"Who?"

The adult version of Su Ting questioned him sternly.

Black smoke billowed from the building, coalescing into a human shape in the air. A hoarse yet icy voice rang out:

“I have been ordered to come and retrieve the ‘abnormal cognitive individuals’.”

The man's eyes changed drastically. "A memory hunter? How... how did they find us so quickly?"

"Who are you calling abnormal?" Su Ting stepped forward coldly. "Aren't you the one with the 'abnormal perception'? Who are you? Why would I forget you?"

The man ignored him and stared at the man in black smoke, saying in a low voice, "You have to go now."

Xiao You gritted her teeth: "We won't abandon our companions and run away."

The man in black sneered, "Then let's all disappear together."

As soon as the voice fell, several dark figures surrounded them from all directions.

Ji Yan quickly created distance, analyzing the situation in a low voice while inserting his personal data device into the terminal on his waist:

"These guys are like fragments of cognition exiled by time; their mission is to seal the point where the 'unexpected memory awakening event' occurs."

“In other words,” Lin Su raised his rifle, “taking them out will prevent us from losing our memories, right?”

"It can also be interpreted as... if you can't win, you'll be trapped in the past forever," Ji Yan said calmly.

"Then let's do it!" Chu Mo fired directly, the bullet hitting a shadowy figure that was chasing after him, but the figure disappeared and reformed like smoke.

Xiao You waved her hands, and a pale green data chain shot out, wrapping around the waist of one of the shadows. "Don't let them touch our bodies; contact of consciousness will erode our minds!"

The adult version of Su Ting observed coldly for a moment, then drew out a dagger that shimmered with blue light.

“Listen, kids, I don’t have time to explain now.” He said as he charged into the fray. “If you really want to find out the truth, you’d better survive the next minute.”

His movements were as fast as a phantom, and wherever the blade struck, the fragments of shadow were instantly shattered.

The man in black roared, "Impossible! Your existence has been erased... How can you still materialize?"

The man shouted back, "Because I've never truly given up!"

He kicked over a shadow monster that lunged at Lin Su, and demanded, "Tell me, who from the Su family survived in the end?"

"What are you saying—" Lin Su was about to ask when black smoke enveloped his shoulder, and he began to convulse in pain.

Chapter 1028 What a foolish move!

"We can't let him be swallowed up!" Xiao You hurriedly tried to pull him away with the data chains.

But the next second, the man in black suddenly twisted into the shape of an arm, pointing directly at Lin Su's forehead, seemingly intending to forcibly extract some information.

The adult Su Ting's eyes trembled slightly: "It seems the system has still marked you... What a foolish move."

"Hey!" The younger version of Su Ting finally couldn't help but shout, "What do you all know? What is there that I don't know? Who am I...?"

His words were interrupted as the man suddenly leaped into the air, his right hand drawing a golden arc. "There's no time to give you an answer now. Only by surviving can you have a future."

After saying that, he made a sweeping motion in the air, as if tearing open space, and a silver-blue rift suddenly opened up, leading to an unknown world.

“That’s the path to the Tower of Truth.” He landed in the middle of the crowd, glancing at each person. “The choice is yours—continue looking for me, or end all your questions here.”

Young Su Ting clenched his fists, his eyes filled with confusion and struggle, but before anyone else could express their opinion, he had already taken a step.

"I believe him."

Next up was Chu Mo, who said, "To hell with the fate line, I'm used to walking with madmen."

"I'm going to see how hot the truth is." Lin Su also headed towards the entrance.

“I want to see it too,” Xiaoyou said firmly.

Ji Yan sighed softly and put away the data device. "Now that the protagonist has chosen his direction, I, as the screenwriter, can't fall behind."

The man gave a slightly approving smile.

The man in black was terrified and roared frantically, "Stop them! They're about to reach the core level! Irreversible! Warning... Warning—"

The crack suddenly burst forth with intense light, and in an instant, everyone, along with their figures, was swallowed up.

When the bright light fades.

They stood on a circular platform that resembled a sea of ​​stars.

Countless mirror-like interfaces floated all around, each mirror reflecting another world: a crying version of myself, a laughing version of myself, and... a dead version of myself.

A person was standing in the center of the platform.

A woman.

Her long hair swayed gently in the wind, she wore a pristine white lab coat, and her eyes reflected the starry sky. She slowly opened her eyes, gazing tenderly at Su Ting, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Long time no see." Her voice was as soft as a murmur, "Su..."

The man suddenly reached out and blocked Su Ting's way, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"Don't go there."

"Why?!" Young Su Ting glared at him.

The woman looked at the man in front of her and gave a wry smile. "You're not ready to hear that name yet."

The man nodded, then looked at the boy, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"Because once you hear her name... you'll never come back."

An invisible pressure filled the air, and the surrounding mirrors began to tremble.

The woman looked up at Su Ting: "Are you still willing to believe me? Like before?"

The boy took a deep breath, his eyes resolute.

At that very moment, he heard a faint yet familiar shout.

That was a child's voice.

"elder brother--"

The man suddenly opened his eyes wide. "You actually remember..."

"elder brother--"

The man suddenly opened his eyes wide. "You actually remember..."

Young Su Ting shuddered, and a blurry image that had never been awakened before instantly appeared in his eyes.

The child crawled across the pale laboratory floor, murmuring, "Brother..."

But his memory abruptly cut off at that moment, as if someone had forcibly shredded that part of his past and thrown it into a black hole.

Chapter 1029 Terminal on the Wrist

The man said in a low voice, "Don't move, she's already started tuning in."

The woman raised a hand, and the entire mirror sea exploded into countless points of starlight. Then, all the projections converged in mid-air, forming an enormous memory puzzle. Her gaze swept over the crowd, and when it lingered on the boy, it was as if a corner of some deep-seated tenderness was gently lifted.

She spoke slowly, "Welcome back, Su Ting."

"Have we met before?" the boy asked hesitantly.

The man sneered, "No, he has seen your 'afterimage'."

The woman ignored the man's words, simply looking at him, and then spoke softly, almost inaudibly:

Do you remember that experiment?

A sharp data beep suddenly filled the air.

Chu Mo had already cocked the gun. "Listen, I hate women who don't finish their sentences. Who are you two anyway?"

Lin Su stared at the mirrors, his expression growing increasingly serious. "Have you noticed... the flow of time is different in each mirror? This platform is a node where multiple timelines overlap."

Ji Yan glanced down at the terminal on his wrist. "The source of the abnormal fluctuations in the data stream is here, but the energy value... is unreasonably high."

Xiao You frowned. "So, we're at the heart of the 'interval between reality and fiction'?"

“Yes.” The man finally turned to face all his companions. “That’s why that person said, ‘Once you hear her name, you can never come back.’ This is the end of memories, and also the beginning. If she’s willing… she can redefine our way of being.”

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
