Chapter 688 Isa Backlash
ISA headquarters, core floor of the polar day zone, conference hall.
Lin Chuyue stood in front of the holographic projection, with a newly transmitted experimental proposal behind her: "Personality Reconstruction Laboratory: Independent Establishment Plan".
This proposal would break the decades-old experimental hierarchy of the ISA.
She wants to bypass direct authority and establish a free research institute that is not subject to any departmental supervision, specifically for reconstructing "unstable consciousness entities," that is, "gray belt personality individuals," including Gu Yanchuan.
But she knew very well that pushing for such a structural breakthrough within ISA meant confronting a complete power struggle.
As expected, the first to voice opposition was Ye Sixun—a permanent member of the ISA Technical Committee and one of Gu Heng's mentors.
“Lin Chuyue,” Ye Sixun sat at one corner of the round conference table, tapping his knuckles, and gave a cold laugh, “Who do you think you are? You think you can bypass all of ISA’s approval procedures with a single gray belt operation? What are you trying to do? Establish a nation?”
Lin Chuyue looked him straight in the eye, unwavering: "I'm just patching up the loopholes that ISA has always had."
"You call us a loophole?" another committee member slammed his fist on the table in anger. "You trespassed into the gray zone, contacted individuals in restricted areas, and initiated a high-risk consciousness stripping surgery without prior registration. Which of these isn't a violation? And you still dare to shamelessly claim we have 'loopholes'?"
"Then let me ask you," Lin Chuyue said, enunciating each word clearly, "ISA controlled Gu Yanchuan for eight years using personality links, ultimately leading to the Abyss Personality self-replicating and almost going out of control. Is this normal practice?"
The room fell silent.
“You are creating controllers without considering the consequences. Now I want to save someone you threw into the abyss, and all you see is the word ‘overstepping authority’?”
Her eyes were icy. "He is not your experiment."
"It is not evidence of your failure either."
"He's human!"
The air suddenly froze.
Just then, a sudden female voice came from outside the venue—
"That's so well said, sister."
Everyone was startled and turned around.
A woman wearing a white uniform with an ISA special guest number walked in slowly, a faint smile on her lips.
—Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, who has not appeared in public at ISA for three years, suddenly appeared here?
Lin Chuyue's pupils contracted, and she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"What are you doing here?" she asked Lin Yun warily.
Lin Yun spread her hands, "I was also invited."
Gu Heng, who had remained silent until now, finally stood up slowly from the ISA chairman's seat.
"I invited her."
Lin Chuyue's expression turned cold: "What do you mean?"
Gu Heng looked at her, his voice hoarse but steady: "Lin Yun was once the assistant who assisted Gu Yanchuan in adjusting his early personality model. She once possessed some of the private codes left by Gu Yanchuan's mother."
Lin Chuyue was stunned.
"That is a logic lock that we have been unable to unlock to this day."
Lin Yun chuckled softly and took out a jet-black data sphere from her storage bag. "This is a memento left by my mother before she passed away, and it also contains a video clip left by Gu Yanchuan's mother."
Gu Heng looked at all the members of the meeting: "As you all know, Gu Yanchuan's mother suffered a mental breakdown in her early years and exiled herself, disappearing from public view ever since. We never knew whether she left behind any key code to prevent 'personality breakdown'."
"Until Lin Yun found it."
The projector in the conference hall is turned on.
In the video, a gentle and beautiful middle-aged woman, pale-faced, is whispering to the camera:
"If you see this video... it means that Yanchuan's control chip has failed."
“Please remember, Yan Chuan is not a ‘dangerous code,’ he is just… incomplete.”
“His true personality is my unfinished masterpiece, the shadow of his father that I tried my best to ‘preserve’…”
The video abruptly cut off.
Lin Chuyue's expression changed, and she was deeply shocked.
So it turns out that Gu Yanchuan was born from a "replica" body? His "rationality" and "abyss" are not opposites, but rather a patchwork of some unbalanced personality.
Lin Yun smiled gently: "Sister, you're still too naive. You think you can save him? You don't even know how he was born."
Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth: "What is your purpose?"
“I want to reconstruct him,” Lin Yun said bluntly. “I have the data on the latter half of his mother’s story, and I am more suitable than you to lead this project.”
There was much discussion among ISA's senior management.
The situation is beginning to tilt.
Lin Chuyue gave a cold laugh: "Lin Yun, do you really think you can control him? If you truly understand the Abyss Personality, you should know that what it hates most is not me, but people like you who try to 'redefine it'."
Lin Yun's eyes turned cold.
"You mean he'll kill me?"
“If you touch his deepest emotions, he will devour you.” Lin Chuyue looked at her, “because you don’t understand love at all.”
The atmosphere between the two was tense and hostile.
Gu Heng frowned: "Enough! We're not discussing emotional issues, but rather—a matter of personal safety!"
"Neither of you can continue to lead this case."
He waved to ISA security: "From this moment on, Lin Chuyue's experimental privileges are suspended, Lin Yun is listed as an assistant consultant, and the project will be handled by a neutral third party."
Lin Chuyue stood up, her voice unwavering:
“If you dare to touch him, I will personally destroy your entire system.”
There was silence.
Lin Chuyue turned and left, the projection beam sweeping over her, her back as cold and stern as a knife about to break.
**
That night, Lin Chuyue secretly contacted a retired data builder from the old ISA experimental zone, codenamed "Mirror Language".
"I need you to help me activate the 'Level Zero Protocol for Personality Reconstruction'."
Jingyu shook his head: "You're crazy. That's technology from the ISA destruction plan, classified as illegal neuromanipulation."
“I know.” She clenched her knuckles. “But now, I don’t trust anyone.”
"I only believe that he deserves to be lived out in his entirety."

Meanwhile, Lin Yun sat in front of the holographic control console, watching Gu Yanchuan's consciousness stability value.
She whispered to herself, "You love her... that's why you're afraid."
"But what if I could erase all your memories?"
"What if you only remember me?"
She gently pressed the "Initialize Personality Adjustment System" button.
Countdown starts:
[Gu Yanchuan will undergo his first deep memory intervention within 72 hours...]
