Chapter 674 Black Mirror Abyss
The aftershocks of the ISA hearing have not subsided; instead, they are like an invisible giant net, slowly tightening around Lin Chuyue.
Although she has temporarily preserved her innocence, the terms "authority freeze," "censorship and monitoring," and "ISA agent mediator" are like invisible knives, precisely cutting away the influence she once possessed.
But she knew that this was only the beginning.
In an abandoned cooling control room on the north side of the ISA building, Li Zhanchuan placed a chip into a reverse soundproofing device.
Lin Chuyue stood beside him, her expression calm to the point of being almost heartless.
"Are you sure it's this group?" he asked in a low voice.
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, a sharp chill flashing in her eyes.
"This is the underlying mapping cache of the ISA sovereign secondary interface. Last time you hacked into the 'skeletal core', the coded message we implanted was indeed activated."
Li Zhanchuan pulled up the code, "This is a...personality modeling video."
In the video, a young woman appears.
Her facial features are extremely similar to Chen Yuyao's, even earlier, colder, and more unfamiliar.
“Chen Yulan.” Lin Chuyue called out the name in a low voice, “She is not Chen Mo’s sister, the deputy leader of ISA, but the person in charge of the first generation of ISA main system modeling project—the leader of the ‘C-Zero’ project.”
Li Zhanchuan frowned: "She's not a candidate at all... she's the designer."
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned slightly cold.
"She created a system of her own."
“Then, generation after generation, ‘people’ were imported into the ‘trial protocol’ she had written.”
“And I am an ‘abnormal variable’ in her original system.”
"So she tried every means to use the 'candidate elimination mechanism' to remove me."
Li Zhanchuan's voice was even lower than before: "Is Chen Yuyao also her clone?"
“…Not entirely.” Lin Chuyue looked at the surveillance wall.
"Chen Yuyao was born in real life, but she had a fragment of C-Zero's consciousness implanted in her when she was a child."
"That's not transplantation, it's symbiosis."
In other words, Chen Yulan treated her as a backup.
Li Zhanchuan remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "If I hadn't shown up, how did you plan to survive?"
Lin Chuyue glanced at him indifferently and said softly, "Kill her."
?
Meanwhile, in the deeply protected conference hall on the third floor of ISA, Chen Yuyao was having a private conversation with Lu Qing.
On the projection screen was a map showing Lin Chuyue's access control history. The red lines intertwined like a spider web, each pointing to the core module of the main control server.
“She still got in,” Lu Qing said in a low voice. “Although she didn’t have the authority to forcibly tamper with the records, she had already unlocked some of the gray area records.”
Chen Yuyao tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
"Let her think she's won."
"The faster she finds clues, the more likely she is to actively trigger our bait."
Lu Qing hesitated and asked, "But are you really willing to let her enter the 'Gate of Judgment'?"
"If she succeeds in cracking it..."
Chen Yuyao smiled.
"Once she gets in, she can't get out."
?
At 3 a.m., Lin Chuyue restarted the dark web node codenamed "Judgment" and retrieved a backup file called "ISA·Black Mirror Project".
This plan was buried at the very beginning of ISA's establishment, and only the lead designer had the authority to view it.
She transferred all the communication encryption modules to Li Zhanchuan, and then closed her eyes to activate the deep connection mode.
—Whole brain modeling loading, entering the virtual projection left by ISA.
The next second, Lin Chuyue's consciousness entered a "completely black mirror space".
In this space, time stands still, physical laws break down, and everything is driven by "memory flow".
Three flashing image doors appeared before my eyes:
[The Origin of Judgment] [Skeleton Replacement] [Self-Elimination]
Lin Chuyue frowned.
She chose [Skeleton Replacement].
The screen flashed wildly, and experimental images leaped out of the black mist—
She saw a little girl crying in the laboratory, her back covered with dense "memory tubes";
Seeing another boy struggling painfully during a high-pressure test, he was ultimately judged by the machine as an "unstable source" and abandoned;
She saw herself on a cold metal bed, with "ISA full-authority anchor point" written into her, number [B-01].
Then comes data erasure, permission revocation, and identity reshaping.
She suddenly understood.
This game was never about "inheritance".
It's about who survived and who remembers.
You are not the heir.
You are the abandoned God.
That's why they fear you.
?
As she lost consciousness, Lin Chuyue felt as if a sharp knife had slashed her heart.
“This is not a plan,” she said softly. “This is a mass murder.”
Li Zhanchuan steadied her shoulders: "What did you see?"
She didn't answer immediately, but instead gave him some data.
"I'm going to send this to the senior management of ISA."
"Then we will initiate the first phase of 'Operation Judgment'—"
"Freeze all of Chen Yuyao's privileges."
?
The following day, ISA received an anonymous encrypted email.
The letter contained:
1. Chen Yuyao and Lu Qing manipulated the candidate's authority structure for a long time;
2. Evidence of Chen Yulan's fabricated identity and personality copying;
3. The ISA candidate system has a "personality selection mechanism"—only "obedient" individuals can be nominated;
4. The true "source controller" was forcibly formatted and judged as an "unstable source".
Li Jinzhi didn't sleep all night.
He finally understood that what they had been protecting for decades was not order, but the judgmental will of another person.
He and those so-called "executive committee members" were merely extensions of the judicial system.
?
That evening, the ISA building's main server suddenly shut down some of its access control modules.
Chen Yuyao's terminal is flashing a red light, indicating that all access permissions have been broken.
She stared at the screen and suddenly smiled.
"She has finally made her move."
"very good."
She stood up, walked to the mirror, took out a chip, and stuck it to the back of her neck.
"System loading: C-Zero critical personality".
In the mirror, her eyes slowly turned cold and empty, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.
"The next round of the game has begun."
?

Next chapter preview:
Chen Yuyao officially undergoes a "personality switch," causing a split within ISA's upper echelons. Lin Chuyue is forced to take a desperate gamble and initiate a "second personality fusion experiment." Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan is "transferred" from ISA headquarters, leaving Lin Chuyue to face her most dangerous enemy alone...
