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

"I...I don't know." The woman on the other end of the phone paused, her voice like mist blown away by the wind, "But I've known this song since I was little. No one taught me, but every time it rains, I want to sing it. As I sing, tears start to fall."

Xiao Yin suddenly grabbed Su Ting's arm: "This isn't right! He said the signal path came from the South American rainforest, an area that lost internet access ten years ago! There are no civilian communication base stations there at all—how did he connect directly to your personal frequency band?!"

Su Nian had already raised her hand to lower the gun barrel, her gaze sharp as a knife: "You're not an ordinary person. Who are you? Where are you?"

“I am…” The woman chuckled softly, as if remembering something and then forgetting something else, “a coffee maker. A wooden hut, two chairs, and an old banyan tree in the backyard, with a rusty tape recorder buried under its roots. My husband says it was my toy when I was a child, but I’ve never heard it make a sound.”

Su Ting's breath hitched: "Have you touched it?"

“I touched it last night.” His voice suddenly lowered. “I dreamt of a woman, wearing a white dress, sitting in front of a piano. She turned around and smiled at me, saying, ‘Wanwan, it’s time to go home.’ When I woke up, I dug up the tree roots.”

Everyone held their breath.

"Is the tape recorder still there?" Su Ting asked, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"Yes. But it's broken. The read/write head is broken, and the tape is oxidized. But I... I spliced ​​the tape back together."

"You released him?" Su Ting almost whispered.

"Yes," the woman said softly, "I heard you."

There was a brief silence.

The sound of the wind traveled through the channel, mixed with the distant sound of raindrops falling on the leaves.

Then he started humming.

Not the complete song.

Only the second sentence.

"The moonlight shines on the river bend, and my mother carries me to school."

In an instant, the blue string within Su Ting's body trembled violently!

hum-

[WARNING! Enhanced mother frequency resonance!]

[New voiceprint fragment detected: S-02]

[Hidden Node Unlocked: 14/9]

[System feedback: The South American sub-network is being activated...]

Xiao Yin's holographic screen suddenly flashed a bright red light: "My God! All the abandoned satellite terminals in the entire Amazon basin are restarting! Including the three 'Sky Eye' backup satellites! They are turning towards the Black Sea and starting to synchronize their signals!"

Su Nian cursed under her breath: "The organization has definitely found out! We've basically got a light on our foreheads that says 'Come and kill me!'"

M-06 sneered and cocked his submachine gun with a flick of his wrist: "Let's see if their knives are faster, or our song is faster."

Su Ting still held the communicator, her voice gentle yet firm: "Auntie... thank you. You saved someone."

“No,” the woman said softly, “I feel… I was saved. For the past ten years, I’ve always dreamed of a pair of eyes searching for me. Now I know, it wasn’t a dream.”

He paused, as if listening to something.

“The tape recorder…it’s still running,” he said. “But at the end of the tape, there’s a note. It says—”

"'The second melody has been delivered. Su Wan, don't stop.'"

"The signature... is 'Lin Zhao'."

The air seemed to freeze.

Chapter 1347 Chain Trigger Mechanism

Su Nian suddenly looked up: "This is a chain reaction mechanism! Every Su Ting has hidden a melody, and they... they're not passively waiting for us to find it, they're actively responding!"

Xiao Yin's voice trembled: "So, from the moment you plucked the first string, the entire 'Su Ting Network' was awakening... and Lin Zhao had planned all of this long ago?"

Su Ting closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

He seemed to see his mother sitting at the piano, her fingers lightly touching the keys, the notes like stars scattered into the night.

He's not just writing a song.

He is weaving a net.

A homecoming network spanning twenty years, seventy-three "daughters," and traversing the latitudes and longitudes of the earth.

“We have to go to South America.” Su Ting opened his eyes, his gaze resolute. “M-02 is waiting for us.”

M-06 grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Then you'll have to get through the 'Ash Belt' alive first. Do you know how many people died there? The radiation cloud lingers year-round, and the AI ​​swarm is still carrying out the annihilation order from twenty years ago."

“Perfect.” Su Ting tucked the broken piano key into his chest. “I want to see what my mother hid in the rainforest back then.”

Xiao Yin pulled out a map, gritting her teeth: "It's three thousand kilometers from here to the outer ring of the Andes Mountains. Half of it is an underground toxic fog zone, and the other half is uninhabited territory. We have no vehicle, no supplies, no satellite support—are we going to walk all the way?"

Su Nian put away her gun and grinned: "Who said there wasn't a car?"

He raised his hand and pointed deep into the submarine wreckage.

Through the broken observation window, an all-terrain assault vehicle could be vaguely seen, as black as night, with its tracks covered in thick seaweed and an old-fashioned plasma cannon mounted on its roof.

"A military 'mole' type infiltration vehicle, with a nuclear battery that can last for ten years." Su Nian patted the vehicle body. "I just don't know if it can still ignite."

Xiao Yin rolled her eyes: "You make it sound so easy! This piece of junk has been sitting here for twenty years. Even the AI ​​core was eaten like a snack by M-06. How is it supposed to start?"

Su Nian didn't answer, but took out a charred chip from her tactical belt—the same piece of metal that had been removed from the life support pod earlier.

"Tell me, why is it that this thing is engraved with 'the seventh string is broken'?" he sneered. "It's not a part. It's a key. It's the back door that Lin Zhao left for all the 'Su family' bloodlines—including cars, guns, and every machine in this wasteland that has ever heard him play the piano."

He inserted the chip into the vehicle's console.

Shila-

A streak of blue light spread along the circuit.

[System self-check in progress...]

[Master frequency key detected: LZ-01]

[Authorization Verification: Confirmation of Su Family Lineage]

[Activation: 'Homecoming' Protocol]

The engine roared to life!

Blue light flows inside the car, like blood vessels awakening.

M-06 touched the plasma cannon and grinned: "I used this cannon to blast an entire mech regiment when I was young."

"It's yours now." Su Nian tossed him a box of spare ammunition. "Don't miss, we don't have a second one."

The vehicle broke through the seawater and rushed onto the shore.

The snowstorm has stopped.

The aurora borealis moved slowly across the sky, spelling out new numbers:

[5/73 responded]

But at this moment——

The sky suddenly tore open!

A silvery-white streak ripped through the clouds, and a sharp alarm blared through the sky!

High-orbit delivery detected!

[Target Identity: Clear Spectrum Task Force - Zeta]

[Equipment: Anti-Main Frequency Pulse Cannon, Memory Stripper, Quantum Chain]

Xiao Yin's face turned deathly pale: "They sent the 'Purifiers'! Those lunatics even killed their own people!"

Su Nian floored the accelerator, and the vehicle shot into the wasteland like an arrow!

Chapter 1348 The Voice of Life

"Then let them hear it!" he laughed, slamming his hand on the car's public address system. "What does it mean to have—a living voice!"

Su Ting sat in the back seat, gently stroking the piano keys.

He hummed the melody softly.

Incomplete.

Yet it carries warmth.

The wheels rolled over the frozen ground, speeding towards the South American rainforest.

The communicator suddenly lit up again.

The South American woman's voice came again, this time with a smile:

"Su Wan, I just made a big breakfast. Fried eggs, toast, and your mother's favorite jasmine tea."

He paused.

"If you have time, I'd like to... treat you to a meal."

“After all,” he said softly.
