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

[Resonance Feedback: +1.3%]

[Barrier stability fluctuation: 0.7 Hz offset]

"It works!" Xiao Yin exclaimed. "It's responding! The barrier is starting to weaken!"

Su Ting grinned, then suddenly pulled a modified sonic grenade from behind his back and plugged it into the amplifier's output port: "Since sound can pry open doors, then I'll give it a 'sonic boom'!"

Chapter 1357 Burning the Entire System

"Are you crazy? This will burn out the entire system!" Xiaoyin screamed.

"Then let's burn them." Su Ting grinned maliciously. "Anyway, my ears are almost useless, so I might as well make them scream to death before I die!"

Su Ting looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Prepare to detonate. Connect to the main frequency in three seconds."

"What are you waiting for?" Su Ting beckoned with his finger. "Come on!"

Su Ting took a deep breath and spoke again:

"The moonlight shines on the river bend, my mother is calling me home to sleep—"

The sound resonated with the piano keys, the amplifier roared, and the sonic grenade began to charge.

"one.".

Moonlight climbs onto the roof, stars fall before the window—

"two."

"The stream flows gently, and frogs leap onto lotus leaves—"

"three!"

"boom--!!!"

The sound exploded like a tsunami, as if tearing the entire night sky apart. The aircraft trembled violently, its outer shell emitting a piercing metallic groan, but in that instant—

[Sound Barrier: Partial Collapse]

[Sonic cavity appears between 66 and 68 degrees north latitude]

"Charge!" Su Ting roared.

Xiao Yin pushed the control stick hard, and the aircraft shot off like an arrow, heading straight for the briefly opened crack.

Inside the barrier, the world is completely different.

The sky was devoid of stars and moon, only a layer of grayish-white sound barrier, like solidified clouds, oppressively suffocating. The ground was covered with metal pipes, like giant blood vessels, transporting "silent fluid"—a liquid nanomaterial that can suppress the propagation of sound.

In the center, a black spire pierces the sky, with a dark blue crystal suspended atop it, slowly rotating and emitting a chilling aura.

“That is… the ‘Silent Core’,” Su Ting said in a low voice. “All the emotions that were cut off, all the memories that were deleted, are sealed there.”

"So Xiao Zhe is down there?" Xiao Yin asked.

Su Ting nodded: "Cabion Zero, the deepest part of the earth. They imprisoned him with sonic pressure, so that he could never hear the outside world again and could never send out any effective signals."

"Then how do we get down?" Su Ting looked around. "We can't exactly shout our way down into the ground, can we?"

Su Ting did not answer.

He slowly removed the piano keys and gently placed them in his palm.

"Listen."

In the distance, a very faint tremor came from the wind.

It was singing.

"The moonlight shines on the river bend..."

It was still off-key, still trembling, but it didn't stop.

“He’s still singing.” Su Ting’s eyes welled up with tears. “And… he’s waiting for us.”

Su Ting suddenly grinned and pulled out an old tape recorder from his pocket. There was a yellowed sticker on it with a crooked sun drawn on it.

“I’ve kept this thing all this time,” he said in a low voice. “It was recorded by my sister before she died. She was singing this song the day she was taken away.”

He pressed play.

A child's innocent voice rang out, intertwining with Xiao Zhe's singing in the air.

In an instant, the ground began to shake.

The metal pipes seemed to come alive; sound waves resonated along them, triggering a chain reaction. In the distance, monitoring towers exploded one after another, and alarms blared incessantly.

[WARNING: Underlying voiceprint recognition system has been compromised]

Cracks appear in the isolation layer of Chamber Zero.

"Let's go!" Su Ting rushed towards the entrance at the bottom of the tower.

The three rushed into the underground passage. The walls were covered in frost, and each step echoed hollowly. At the end of the passage was a heavy metal door with a line of small characters engraved on it:

[Do not wake up. Violators will be permanently silenced.]

Su Ting kicked him, saying, "I hate reading instructions the most!"

The door didn't move.

Su Ting reached out and touched the cold metal, then closed his eyes and listened.

Chapter 1358 How Long Did He Hold On?

“He’s behind me,” he whispered. “He’s banging his head against the door, again and again… like he’s beating a drum.”

Xiao Yin trembled as she turned on the frequency scanner: "There are three sound pressure barriers behind the door, each equivalent to the volume of a hundred rock concerts. No one can last more than ten seconds."

"But how long did he hold out?" Su Ting asked.

“I don’t know.” Su Ting’s voice trembled. “But he was already making a mistake from the very first time he sang ‘Moonlight’.”

He slowly raised his hand, and the piano keys floated up again.

"Then we'll knock on the door too."

He played a note.

"Boom."

The ground trembled slightly.

The second note.

"Boom."

Ice formed in the door cracks.

On the third note, he used all his strength, and the keys exploded with blue light:

"Boom——!!!"

The door is cracked.

The three rushed into the last cell.

The sight before her eyes made Xiao Yin kneel down on the spot, while Su Ting's fist slammed hard against the wall.

In the center of the room, a thin boy was chained to a metal frame, with two gruesome stitched scars where his ears should have been. His lips were cracked and his throat was swollen, yet it still opened and closed weakly.

He was singing.

"The moonlight shines...on the river bend..."

Su Ting rushed forward, trembling as he unlocked the chains: "Xiao Zhe! It's me! Brother's here!"

The boy slowly raised his head, his pupils unfocused, but the moment he heard the voice, a smile appeared on his lips.

“Brother…” he murmured in a breathy voice, “You… have finally… come.”

"Yes! Brother's here!" Su Ting hugged him tightly. "Let's go home, let's go home..."

With red eyes, Su Ting slammed his fist into the control panel: "The system is completely destroyed! There's no way to deactivate the neural lock!"

Xiao Yin frantically tried to do something: "Wait...maybe we can use the residual signal from the master frequency to stimulate his auditory nerve in reverse! But we need a song...that can awaken his memory!"

Su Ting looked down at her younger brother, who was almost unconscious in her arms, and asked softly:

Do you remember... the first song I taught you when you were little?

Xiao Zhe nodded weakly, his lips moving slightly.

Su Ting smiled, pressed the piano keys against their chests, and began to sing:

"Twinkle, little star, twinkle, bright as the night sky..."

As the first note faded, a tear rolled down Xiao Zhe's cheek.

On the second note, his fingers twitched slightly.

With a hoarse, labored voice, he hummed the first word on the third note:

"Small……"
