In the midst of a violent headache, the illusory dream was fragmented in the jaggedness, but
what had just happened seemed so strong in the jaggedness
Outside the survival barn area, the huge bronze chimes trembled, emitting a roar like the roar
of a kuiyu bull, and with the fluctuation of the quantum chimes, the Gongshang Gongshang
Gongshang Jiaozheng Feather 8 sounds rang out, and then all of the mercury lamps lit up,
projecting the likeness of a holographic starry sky, making the entire gathering place as bright
as day.
The cold light of the dome enveloped the penal colony, and the holographic countdown burst
into scarlet slush in the void. When 4067 passed through the crowd and stood at the seventh
row of coordinates f7, the quantum tremor of the chip at the back of her neck resonated with
the retinal projection - the trajectory of the digital leap etched a blood-colored equation on
her crystalline lens, and she seemed to hear the sound of disintegrating flesh and blood the
moment the countdown returned to zero.
"The sound of the bronze gears biting suddenly stopped, and the entire pariah camp fell into
dead silence.4067 The scar behind his ear contracted suddenly, and the array of subcutaneous
gears converted the tingling into neural code-a precursor to the activation of the scavenger
protocol.
"Individual 0924, causal law deviation value exceeded." Overseer Cain's voice carried the
chorus of trembling strings. Deviation rate breaching Klein threshold." The white glove at the
top of the cage sliced through space, and five strings condensed from the vacuum rising and
falling, each one entwined with the entropy-increasing melody of "Guangling San". The man
in the center of the enclosure suddenly convulses, the same cogwheel scars surfacing on the
surface of his skin as those behind 4067's ear.
"Please... Please..." The man's pleas were cut by the strings into scattered syllables of broken,
begging words collapsing in Riemann's surface.
Cain's fingertips traced the horned tuning. The man's left arm instantly unfolded into a
Mandelbrot fractal, flesh and blood iterating and dissipating in a complex plane, each note of
Masculinity devouring the probability of his existence. The bronze code at the severed limb
flickers like Gödel's incompleteness theorem, proving that this flesh has long been falsified by
fate.
4067's quantum heart suddenly burst into life, mechanical valves pumping coolant into the
carotid artery. She saw that the structure of the code at the man's severed arm was an exact
match to the bronze star track that had appeared in her dream last night.
Scarlet warning suddenly forced to pop up on the retina: [Illegal observation detected,
cleaning procedure initiated]
The heads of the three scavengers suddenly rotated 180 degrees, their compound eye arrays
locking onto her hiding place. Bio-slime sprayed out from their fingers, forming a DNA
double-helix net in the air. 4067 rolled to avoid it, but her left little finger touched the slime,
and her skin instantly carbonized into the oracle bone character for "prisoner".
"No. 4067, please cooperate with calibration." Cain's figure suddenly appeared in the steam
ten meters away, strings twined with notes that had yet to dissipate. At the edge of his white
gloves, a metal knuckle glowed coldly in the moonlight - a bronze alloy older than the city
shields.
As the scavenger's mechanical tentacles pierced 4067's spine, she heard the sound of the
genlock opening. Thirty-seven nanoprobes protruded along the C3 vertebrae, inscribing
detection codes on her central nervous system. Pain transcended biological perception and
acted directly on the Quantum Heart's Sands of Time storage.
"Cleanliness detection in progress..." A mechanical voice accompanied the melody of "Hu Jia
18 Beats". The holographic screen unfolded in front of her eyes, and the light blue DNA strand
was being violently decoded. When the probe stabbed into the 23rd pair of chromosomes,
the gene lock was suddenly triggered - the encrypted base pairs transformed into the
trigrams of Lianshan Yi, importing the detection program into the imaginary number space.
Cain's eyebrows raised slightly.4067 saw the detection screen flash a scarlet warning:
[Causal Law Fit: 89.7%]
[Genlock integrity: 100%]
[Suggested disposition: as a key observation while opening an upward channel]
"Interesting." Cain suddenly tore off three strings, the strings merging into 4067's quantum
heart. In the violent ripples of space-time, she saw countless images of herself being detected
in different timelines.
When the fourth string was not in her chest, 4067's vision penetrated the genetic lock. In the
deepest part of the DNA strand, she saw the Möbius Ring of bronze gears, with the star map
of the Gamma Stone Star Sutra inscribed on the ring. Some figure with the same metal
knuckles as Cain was implanting his infant self with a quantum heart.
"You woke up fourteen days ahead of schedule." Cain abruptly snapped the strings, the
remnants condensing into a bronze key in his palm, "But that makes it more observable." His
gloves slipped half an inch in the movement, revealing laser engravings at his wrists.
The scavenger's mechanical tentacles suddenly stiffened.4067 seized the split-second
opportunity, and the bone blade chopped through the tentacle joints spewing but not motor
oil, but colostrum with bronze shavings. Those liquids vaporized in the moonlight, forming
the totem of the killing blade.
"Warning! Cleaning object triggers Nirvana protocol!" The mechanical scavengers' compound
eyes burst en masse, and a chime boomed from within their chests. The twelve bodies
simultaneously disintegrated into bronze gears, forming the same Mobius Ring in the air as
within the 4067 Genlock.
Cain smiled for the first time. He stroked the strings of his zither and played a variation of
"Three Plum Blossoms", and the metal building with a radius of 100 meters suddenly began
to grow against entropy. Countless images of 4067 sleeping in incubation pods emerged on
the rusted walls, each pod labeled with a number from "001" to "19876".
"Feel this gift." Cain's figure inserted the bronze key into 4067's genlock projection before the
quantization dissipated, "When the fit breaks 90%, you will be able to see the true Killing
Capital..."
The Möbius ring of scavenger gears suddenly collapsed, forming a bronze-colored wormhole
at 4067's feet. The moment she fell, she saw her own reflection - it was no longer a
combination of machinery and flesh and blood, but a humanoid form made purely of causal
chain code. Before consciousness dissipated, the murmur in the sound of colostrum steaming
became clear once more; "kill me, kill me.
