Chapter 163: The Sovereign’s Court
The hurricane blast from the twin-rotor engines slammed downward into the clinic courtyard, ripping the remaining shingles off the wooden storage shed and scattering the wet white ash of the dissolved crystal into the gale. The blinding spotlights from thirty black gunships locked onto my chest, turning the muddy garden into a stage as bright as a surgery theater."Hao! They're landing heavy mechs on the eastern avenue!" Luo Bing yelled, his voice barely cutting through the deafening roar of the rotors as he dropped his shattered hilt and shoved Lin Yue behind his massive, bleeding shoulder plates. "The perimeter is completely blown! These aren't corporate rent-a-cops! Look at the heavy tactical shields!""I see them, Luo," I said, my voice flat, my boots digging deep into the wet earth as the sheer wind-force whipped my snowy white hair across my face.The side doors of the lead colossus snapped back with a heavy hydraulic hiss. A long, silver-plated gangway slammed down into the mud
Chapter 162: The Mindless Genius
[TIME REMAINING: TWO SECONDS.][CHOOSE, HOST JIANG HAO. WILL YOU TRADE THE MEMORIES, OR WILL YOU LET THE LIGHT GO DARK?]"Get out of my head," I said.My voice didn't just shake the white text on the screen; it sliced through the entire virtual grid of the blue interface. I stared at the massive golden seal pulsing in the center of the bottomless black void. Every single character, every needle angle, every anatomical ledger my father had beaten into my hands since I was five years old—it wasn't a set of data points to be bartered away to a corporate machine. It was my skin. It was my bone marrow.[WARNING: SYSTEM OVERRIDE ATTEMPTED. TRANS-COMMUNICATION FORCE TERMINATED. SECTOR LOGIC IS DISSOLVING.]"I don't need your binary trade to jump-start a human engine," I hissed, my phantom fists tightening as the white countdown numbers shattered into gray dust. "I am Jiang Hao. I know exactly how many beats a cardiac valve needs to clear a terminal stagnation. I don't need a script to tell m
Chapter 161: The Phantom Pulse
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee—The sound was flat, high-pitched, and completely uninterrupted. It wasn't the sound of a beating heart; it was the clinical death whistle of the diagnostic monitor echoing off the wet brick walls of the backyard."Hao? Hao, wake up! Look at me!" Lin Yue’s voice pierced through the mechanical screech. Her hands—no longer cold, translucent blue crystal, but warm, soft, human skin filled with rushing blood—clutched at my shoulders. She shook me, her fingers digging into my torn coat as my head rolled limply against her chest. "You just cleared the stone! You can't freeze now! Hao!""Get the external defibrillator from the main desk, Li! Move your legs!" Luo Bing roared. His shadow blockaded the doorway, his heavy armor clattering as he dropped his shattered steel blade into the mud. He lunged down beside us, his massive, scarred hands reaching out to check my carotid artery. "There's no pulse, Lin Yue. None. His neck is as cold as river ice.""No, no, no! That’s impo
Chapter 160: The Mortal Flesh Suture
"Don't you dare close your eyes, Lin Yue!" I roared, my hands slamming flat against her shoulders.The cold, jagged spider-web cracks were expanding right under my palms, ripping through her collarbone with a sickening, glass-like snapping sound. Her skin, which was now ninety percent translucent blue crystal, flickered wildly. Beneath the surface, her true soul-frequency was thrashing, trying to tear itself out of her physical shell as the residual energy from the cosmic disruption cannon tore her baseline anchors to shreds."Hao... it's too cold," Lin Yue whispered, her chest plate split wide open down the center. A thick, glowing stream of liquid sapphire life force was pouring out, soaking straight into the dark garden mud between my knees. Her usual vibrant blue gaze was fading into an empty, hollow slate gray. "The crystal... it's overriding my marrow. I can't feel my fingers anymore. Just let it go.""Shut up! I didn't drag my sister back from a galactic fortress just to watch
Chapter 159: The Crystal Extraction
"Step back, Jiang Hao!" the lead mercenary screamed, his finger twitching on the double-stage hair-trigger of the four-foot chrome barrel. The purple laser grid lines painted across Lin Yue’s crystalline chest plate were sizzling now, burning through the fabric of her shirt, leaving bright white lines of superheated ash. "I swear to God, I’ll punch this lever right now! One click and her core frequency is scattered into the mud! Drop your kit!""Hao, don't look at me!" Lin Yue choked out, her teeth clenched as the intense high-frequency radiation from the barrel forced small, jagged spider-web cracks to ripple across her glowing blue collarbone. Her fingers clawed desperately against the rough wood of the storage shed door behind her. "The cannon... it’s already locked onto my baseline anchor! If you drop your guard, they’ll extract the whole core anyway! Just take the child and run!""Shut your mouth, asset!" the second mercenary yelled, his heavy, vacuum-sealed dark-matter boot slam
Chapter 158: The Quarantine of A-City
"Hao! The tracking monitors just went dark!" Li screamed from the clinic doorway, her knuckles white as she gripped the wood frame. "The city municipal feeds, the grid, the transport nodes everything is dropping! Look at the main gates!"I turned away from the examination table where Jiang Mei lay resting. My snowy white hair whipped across my face as a violent, unnatural shudder rattled the floorboards of our ancestral clinic. Through the open window, the distant, mechanical clanging of iron barricades slamming down echo-boomed across the city's perimeter walls."They're locking us in," Luo Bing growled, his heavy combat boots skidding against the floorboards as he rushed to the entrance, his massive arms still cradling the linen bundle of the golden-eyed infant. "Hao, those aren't local police squads. Look at the silver insignias on those armored trucks. It's New Dawn Pharma's enforcement division. They’re stringing high-voltage wire across the outer checkpoints!""A fake quarantine
