Ling Qiu once said that humans, like plants and animals, each have an environment suitable for their growth. Therefore, not every life can meet another; most are destined to never see each other from the moment of their birth. An Yu had never questioned this statement until he personally witnessed these vastly different plants swaying together in the wind. Their scents wove into a thick, brilliant river, swallowing the persistent snowstorm and redecorating the vast, white world into an endless wetland…-

An Yu recalled that he had only stepped back half a step, and Codex had already automatically retreated to the furthest distance. He looked in the direction Codex had disappeared. "Can he see what I'm thinking?" Yan Xi nodded gently. "This is Codex's currently known ability. He can instantly perceive the thoughts of everyone around him. See the kraft paper book in his hand? That book is part of his actual body. Anything he sees or knows, if it matters enough to him, will be recorded and stored in that…

It was already dark when An Yu returned to the Spire. The elevator ascended steadily. Through the glass door, the Protectors he passed all bowed to him in greeting. He looked down and checked the accumulated messages on his terminal. Pat had been back at the Main City for less than twenty-four hours before he and Slade had each received new missions and left again. Jiang Xiao’s signal indicated he wasn't in the Spire, but he had no active mission either. He was nowhere to be found, which was…

"Just now, when the night prayer ended, I suddenly had a premonition that I would reunite with an old friend today," Eye said, having changed into a pristine white silk shirt, its collar and cuffs more elaborately cut than before. He took a yellowed book from the bookshelf and handed it to An Yu, smiling. "I'm glad to see you again. You are indeed interested in this book." The book was thick, including the title page, , all handwritten. But An Yu didn't think writing this book would require much effort,…

“Heartbeat?” An Yu focused for a moment. "It’s not panic, sir." "Then what is it?" Because I get excited at the thought of doing bad things. An Yu discreetly dodged the dangerous question and explained, "Getting stopped by patrol teachers in the orphanage is common. If there’s any anomaly in the data, you’re taken away for check-ups, then dealt with." It was a brutal but effective management approach. But now, everything in the orphanage seemed to be…

Children are the most emotionally fragile creatures in the world. When An Yu rationally declined Qiang's request for expensive items, the boy’s rose-like sores curled and expanded across his face. The flowers in the sores trembled, and an eerie shade of sickly pink spread from his pupils to the whites of his eyes, as if he were so enraged that his brain might burst. An Yu tried to recall any wisdom Lin Qiu might have shared about dealing with unruly children. Unfortunately, even someone as wise as…

thank you jaelsilk for the ko-fi donation! Qin Zhilu was embraced by An Yu. He looked down at him for a moment, then softly asked in his ear, "What are you doing?" His voice was very ethereal, as if it would be carried away by the wind at any moment. An Yu rarely felt such direct vulnerability from the person in his arms. He remained silent, so Qin Zhilu asked again, "What did you peek at?" "Nothing at all, sir," An Yu replied immediately. He lied almost instinctively. "I only stumbled into…

The data screen displayed the time this memory occurred: 2130, when Qin Zhilu was 8 years old. In the laboratory, the collapsing breathing gradually weakened as medical personnel stabilized his physiological vital signs. A researcher clicked on the information database for subject #0930 on the computer. It was a top-secret Black Tower file. Records rushed across the screen, and An Yu looked down at the stiff, cold words. ... ... Gene injection was the precursor to induction…

The four black mirrors reflected the figures of four Protectors. In the depths of An Yu's consciousness, it was as if molten lava had shattered countless mirrors, and after a momentary boiling roar, everything fell silent, as if sound would never exist again. He felt as if he had returned to the gene induction test at the Brain—mysterious whispers circulated throughout his body, and an unspeakable pain spread deep in his consciousness, enough to shatter his mind. His survival value on the…

The moment he lay down, a sharp pain exploded deep in An Yu's consciousness. He abruptly opened his eyes and saw his familiar teammates. The snowstorm howled. The emptiness of the orphanage's third layer rapidly dissipated, and the Mirror's surveillance reappeared overhead. The three mirror layers had shattered, leaving only the Mirror Core. The terminal was wildly went out. The fourth shattered mirror fragment did not seal An Yu's survival limit again, but he still suffered burst…
