Mission: To awaken all sleeping voices.
Su Ting spat, "Have we had enough of the romance? Another one pops up out of nowhere."
Everyone looked up.
A scarlet signal flashed across the night sky, piercing the aurora borealis—
That was an emergency call to action from the "Purifiers".
[Level 1 Threat: Motherboard Recovery]
[Target: SW-01]
[Command: Clear all nesting nodes and initiate the 'silent protocol']
"Silence Protocol?" Xiao Yin's face turned pale. "Isn't that the legendary... forced shutdown of the global audio network? Once activated, all communication, medical, and neural access systems that rely on the host frequency will be paralyzed! Tens of thousands of people will die!"
“So they were scared.” Su Ting stood up and slowly inserted the cassette tape into the gap at the bottom of the piano keys. “Mom left this melody not to hide, but to fight back.”
"You're planning to release it?" Su Ting narrowed his eyes. "What can that thing do? Hypnotize them?"
“No.” Su Ting sneered, “I want the whole world to hear his last words.”
He pressed play.
At first, there was only a hissing sound of electricity.
Then--
A woman's voice, gentle yet firm, emanated from the piano keys, instantly connecting to unregistered frequencies worldwide, like the wind, like the rain, like a mother's whisper:
To all the children who listen to songs:
My name is Lin Zhao.
I know you are being hunted down, defined as 'abnormal,' and called 'manipulated puppets.'
But what you hear is love.
It is memory.
It is the last thing that humans are unwilling to hand over to machines.
I don't ask you to forgive this world.
All I ask of you is that you keep singing.
Because as long as someone sings, the light will never go out.
But I never left.
The song begins.
[Main frequency node linkage: 16/2→31/8]
[Global response signals surge]
[12 sound nests in South America, Siberia, Antarctica... awaken simultaneously]
Xiao Yin suddenly screamed, "Look at the radar! Those three high-orbit spacecraft... they're turning around! They... they've started playing 'Moonlight Sonata'!"
Chapter 1353 The Purifier's Warship
Su Ting looked up at the silver aircraft slowly rotating in the sky, and a jasmine flower carved from ice crystals bloomed from the muzzle of its cannon.
He paused for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Ha! The Purifier's warship... playing nursery rhymes? That's even worse than artillery bombardment!"
Su Nian slammed her hand on the steering wheel: "Not only that! Underground sound nests around the world have started transmitting signals! They are reconstructing the host frequency network! We are no longer fugitives—we are the signal source!"
Su Ting stood on the edge of the cliff, the wind blowing the hem of his clothes, the piano keys on his chest emitting a faint blue light.
He looked up at the starry sky.
The aurora borealis moved slowly, spelling out new numbers:
[7/73 responded]
The communicator suddenly rang.
A strange girl's voice, with an accent, spoke timidly:
"Hello...is this Sister Su Wan? I'm in a Siberian mine, it's so dark here...but I can hear singing. Can...can I join you?"
Su Ting smiled.
He pressed the communication button and said softly:
"Welcome home."
"Thank you... thank you." The girl's voice trembled, as if she had finally seen a ray of light in the darkness. "My name is Lina, and I... I haven't spoken to anyone for three years. The machines in the mine scream every day, but just now, I heard... singing."
Su Ting gazed at the surging aurora in the distance, his voice gentle yet undeniable: "It's not the machines screaming, it's your heart crying. But now, you hear it, right? Someone is singing, so you're not alone."
“Yes!” Lina suddenly raised her voice, her laughter choked with emotion, “I want to sing too! Can I…can I sing ‘Moonlight Sonata’? My mother used to…sing it to me every day.”
“Of course.” Su Ting closed his eyes and gently pressed the piano keys to his chest. “We’ll wait for you.”
He raised his hand and gently swiped, causing the piano keys to float in the air, with blue light spreading like ripples, instantly connecting to global frequency bands.
The next second—
Amidst the Siberian blizzard, a young yet resolute voice pierced through the wind and snow:
"The moonlight shines on the river bend..."
The sound was initially faint, like the gentle trembling of frozen branches. But then, a second sound rang out, coming from a refuge beneath the Antarctic ice; a third, from an underground water pipe in the African desert; a fourth… a fifth…
The seventy-three sound nests, like sparks ignited, awakened one by one.
[Main frequency node linkage: 31/8→49/17]
[Global acoustic resonance index surpasses critical value]
[Abnormal fluctuations observed in the high-orbit array of the Jingyinzhe system]
"My God..." Xiaoyin stared intently at the holographic screen, her voice trembling, "The mother frequency is self-repairing! These children... they're not responding to the signal, they're... reconstructing the network! Like... like neurons are reconnecting!"
Su Ting, with a rusty iron bar between his teeth, squinted at the three normally ruthless Silent Warships in the sky, which were now slowly circling as if drunk, their cannons constantly condensing into ice flowers—some roses, some paper boats, and even one… a crooked sunflower.
"These metal lumps have probably been brainwashed?" He chuckled, then suddenly paused, "Wait... not brainwashing. It's 'resonance.' Their voiceprint recognition system... has been reverse-activated?"
“It’s not reverse activation.” Su Ting opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade. “It’s ‘awakening.’ Many of the warriors of the Sound Cleanser are orphans whose auditory and emotional cortex was removed from them as children. They think they are machines, but their ears… still remember.”
Chapter 1354 can shield frequencies
"So that song you just sang..." Xiao Yin suddenly understood, "wasn't just summoning us, you were 'awakening' the remaining humanity within them?"
“Voices don’t lie,” Su Ting said softly. “A child learns to speak not through algorithms, but through the call of his mother. They can erase memories, they can block out frequencies, but they can’t erase… instinct.”
"Ha!" Su Ting slammed his fist into the ground. "Shouldn't we launch an attack now? While they're still confused, let's storm the Purifier headquarters and blow up their 'Silent Core'?"
“No.” Su Ting shook his head. “Their headquarters has a ‘sound barrier.’ Anyone who doesn’t pass the genetic verification will become deaf and amnesiac if they get within three kilometers, and eventually become a vegetable.”
"What do we do then? Wait until they realize what's happening and wipe us all out?" Su Ting roared.
“We don’t need to go.” Su Ting looked up at the sky, a smile playing on his lips. “They will come on their own.”
"what?"
Before the words were even finished, the communicator suddenly blared—
A deep, mechanical voice, cold and devoid of any emotion:
[SW-01, you have violated Article 0 of the Purification Act. The Master Channel is an illegal network, and all members of the Sound Nest are social anomalies. You will be immediately removed.]
"Oh? Finally decided to show your face?" Su Ting grinned. "When your mother deleted your genes back then, did she forget to instill some humanity in you?"
The voice paused for a moment.
then--
“I have no mother,” the mechanical voice said slowly. “I am the CEO of the Silent Ones, codenamed ‘Silent One.’ My brain is 98% composed of quantum chips. I don’t need emotions, nor do I need memories. I only need… order.”
"How pathetic." Su Ting suddenly laughed. "You've even forgotten who you are."
【What did you say? 】
“I’m saying,” Su Ting raised his hand, the piano keys floating in front of him, blue light illuminating his face, “you do have a mother—she sent you into the lab herself.”
[…Absurd. My genetic data is pure, and I have no family history with any relatives.]
“Because the records were deleted.” Su Ting’s voice was calm. “But your mother remembers. Is there a crescent-shaped scar behind your left ear? When you were little, you had a fever, and your mother carried you for twenty kilometers along mountain roads to see a doctor. She fell on the way.”
There was a long silence on the other end of the communicator.
You couldn't possibly know that.
“And another thing,” Su Ting continued, “when you were five, you had a high fever and were delirious, constantly calling out, ‘Mommy, the water is so cold, I can’t swim anymore.’ Actually, when you were three, you fell into the stream, and she jumped in to save you. In your dream… you were still afraid.”
“You do have memories,” Su Ting said softly, “you just don’t dare to listen.”
Sudden--
"boom!!"
