Chapter 633 The Sleeper Project
When Li Zhanchuan proposed to personally enter Shen Yanli's "resonance device," Lin Chuyue almost immediately objected.
"Do you know that this device is a neural resonance device developed as an extension of Project X.31? If you go in, it's not just a risk, but you could become his next test subject."
Li Zhanchuan stood under the dim light, his face calm and composed: "If I am the only one who can bring your mother back, then I am willing to take the risk."
Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth: "You can take the risk, but I can't let you die."
"I will not die." His voice was low, like a vow: "Chuyue, you have already fought to this extent, you should not have to face everything alone."
She paused for a moment, her eyes reddening, and finally nodded: "I'll go into the device with you."
Li Zhanchuan frowned: "No."
“She and I are blood relatives,” Lin Chuyue said firmly. “I am in her fragmented memories. If I am not here, you cannot enter the core area.”
The two looked at each other, and the tacit understanding they had shared when they fought side by side many years ago was quietly rekindled at this moment.
……
On the other side, in the conference room of the Lin Group.
Lin Zhengguo had just finished a phone call with a high-ranking official, his face ashen.
When the news came that Xu Muzhou had been "rescued" by Yuanjing, he was almost certain that Shen Yanli had lost control.
Moreover, what's worse is that media outlets have already begun receiving tips that information concerning illegal human experiments conducted by the Shen family's neurological research institution is being rapidly submitted to major news portals.
If the public relations effort fails, not only will the Shen family be uprooted, but the Lin family will also be unable to escape unscathed.
Lin Yun rushed in, her voice low but urgent: "Dad, are we really going to tie ourselves to the Shen family? Look at the current situation, the Gu family is also on Chuyue's side, and Vision Capital is serious this time!"
Lin Zhengguo stared at her, his eyes filled with weariness and a hint of wariness: "Aren't you one of Shen Yanli's people? Are you scared?"
Lin Yun's face paled, but she still forced herself to say, "I'm your daughter. What I'm afraid of is that you'll fall along with me. Have you ever thought that once the truth is exposed, you might not only lose the Lin family business, but you might also lose your freedom?"
Lin Zhengguo sneered: "You've finally learned to threaten me."
Lin Yun shook her head: "It's not a threat, it's a plea for you to turn back. Look carefully, Lin Chuyue is no longer the obedient little girl she used to be. She has Vision, Gujia, and media resources."
“She doesn’t need you anymore.” He said these words softly, but they struck Lin Zhengguo’s heart.
The air became quiet.
Lin Zhengguo looked up at the window; the long night stretched endlessly, like an abyss.
He whispered, "She's my daughter, how could I let her ruin all of this?"
Lin Yun was taken aback. Before she could speak, Lin Zhengguo added in a low voice, "Unless she destroys herself first."
……
Late at night, at a secret experimental station on the outskirts of City B.
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan changed into sterile gowns and stepped into the "resonance chamber".
Inside the cabin, there were rows of buffers and nerve wires, while the central double-layered linkage device awaited them to lie down.
The researchers whispered a reminder: "Once inside, your consciousness will connect with each other through simulated resonance and establish mapping pathways with the deep areas of Shen Wanqing's memory."
"What about the side effects?" Lin Chuyue asked.
"They may lose some short-term memory, or even experience hallucinations or disorientation."
She nodded: "Start it."
As the robotic arm slowly closed, the two people's consciousnesses quickly sank into that deep and vast "world of memories".
……
It was a desolate and broken garden.
Lin Chuyue opened her eyes and saw herself at ten years old, squatting on the stone steps, crying while holding a broken music box.
In the corner, the young Shen Wanqing stood in the sunlight, quietly watching her, but did not approach.
"Mom!" She rushed forward instinctively, only to bump into a transparent barrier.
“You cannot wake her.” A deep, familiar voice rang out.
She turned around abruptly and saw the illusion of "Shen Yanli" slowly emerging from the depths of her memory, holding the reassembled music box in his hand.
"Your mother's current consciousness is a fragment that I have carefully dismantled and reconstructed."
"If you want to save her, you'll have to take her from me first."
Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth: "Then let's give it a try."
She leaped into the air, her blade of consciousness slicing through space and colliding with the mental form of "Shen Yanli." In an instant, fragments of memory exploded like a tidal wave.
Garden, bloodstains, mental ward, Shen Fang's laughter, her father's angry curses, the moment Lin Yun pushed open the door... a myriad of images intertwine into a torrent of madness.
Meanwhile, the resonator in the real world was flashing a red light, and the researcher exclaimed, "Her consciousness is overloaded! She'll collapse if this continues!"
Li Zhanchuan gritted his teeth: "Open the secondary auxiliary channel and pull me into her depths."
……
Within her consciousness, Lin Chuyue was swept up by the black tide, as if falling into an endless abyss, until she heard a familiar whisper.
"Chuyue, come back."
It's Li Zhanchuan.
He held her hand in the darkness, his warmth penetrating the barrier of her consciousness and pulling her back from the brink of losing control.
The two consciousnesses reunited and returned to the center of the garden.
At this moment, Shen Wanqing's figure began to move.
She slowly turned around, her eyes slightly glazed: "Are you... here to take me home?"
Lin Chuyue's eyes instantly reddened: "It's us, it's me and Zhan Chuan."
She reached out her hand, and just as her mother was about to grasp her fingertips, a thunderous roar ripped apart her world of memories.
In reality, the laboratory door was blown open.
Lin Zhengguo stormed in with security guards, roaring, "Pull them out of the device!"
"Lin Zhengguo!" Lin Chuyue heard his voice even in the virtual world.
She suddenly realized—her father had actually intervened to stop them!
“He’s afraid you’ll wake up, afraid you’ll see the truth,” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice. “We need to be faster.”
He squeezed Lin Chuyue's hand again: "I will break through the firewall for you, and you can take her away."
In the virtual world, Li Zhanchuan's figure transformed into a blue beam of light, rushing into the depths of the barrier, his consciousness directly colliding with the barrier constructed by "Shen Yanli".
Lin Chuyue finally took her mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, let's go home."
……
In reality, the instruments suddenly emitted a sharp alarm, and the two cabins abruptly opened.
Lin Chuyue slowly opened her eyes, her breathing erratic, but the next second she suddenly sat up: "Where's Mom?!"
The sterile cabin door behind her was slowly pushed open, and Shen Wanqing was pushed in by researchers in a wheelchair.
Her eyes were still somewhat unfocused, but when they fixed on Lin Chuyue, a hint of warmth finally appeared.
"First...moon?"
Lin Chuyue rushed forward: "Mom, you're awake."
Shen Wanqing reached out and gently stroked her daughter's face: "I have always... remembered you."
……
Lin Zhengguo stood at the door, his eyes as cold as iron.
At that moment, he finally realized that he had lost the entire game.
He lost not only to Lin Chuyue, but also to the daughter he had once ignored, suppressed, and exploited.
She is no longer the little girl who can be manipulated by others, but the true master who has personally broken the patriarchy, power, and conspiracy.
He murmured, "You actually... went this far."
Lin Chuyue stood up, her gaze unwavering: "Next, I want you to personally witness how I take the Lin family back from your hands, bit by bit."
