Don't go to the moon, there are gods on the far side of the moon.

For the first time, Lin Jibai realized that agreements could breathe like living things.

The red text on the screen flickered on and off.

Mythical Agreement: Lin Family Inheritance Clause

Every stroke looks like it was written in blood.

He sat in the control room of the old exhibition hall, surrounded by the shadows of the Buzhou Mountain model. The broken parts of the model glowed faintly, like a dead bone beginning to grow nerves again.

The terminal displays an identity verification message.

"Will Lin Jibai, the successor to the repairman, read the agreement from his father?"

Lin Jibai did not order immediately.

He knew this thing wasn't an ordinary document.

The moment his father inserted the moon landing certificate, his ears began to ring. The echo from the Heavenly Pillar sounded like a swarm of invisible insects burrowing into his skull.

Reading this might cause problems.

If I don't read it, Xiaoman might not make it through the night.

Lin Jibai cursed, "Doesn't your Mythical System even have customer service when you sign contracts?"

He clicked "confirm".

boom!

The lights in the control room were turned off.

The shadow of the Buzhou Mountain model rising from the ground is cast on the wall, and the broken part transforms into a door.

Lin Wangchuan's voice rang out from behind the door.

"Ji Bai, if you hear this agreement, it means the far side of the moon has awakened again."

Lin Jibai suddenly stood up: "Dad?"

no respond.

This is a reserved message.

My father's voice sounded much more tired than I remembered.

"The Mythical Agreement wasn't signed by humans and gods, but by humans and the rules. After the ancient Buzhou Mountain broke apart, someone had to be responsible for watching over the crack. The Lin family wasn't of noble blood; they just drew the worst lot back then."

The terms and conditions appeared on the screen.

Article 1: When Buzhou Mountain awakens again, the descendants of the Lin family will automatically inherit the role of repairman.

Article 2: The heir can hear the echo of the Heavenly Pillar, but each time he oversteps his authority to read it, it will be recorded by the old Heavenly Court system.

Article 3: The heirs' direct relatives will be marked in advance by the lunar far side system for use in locating the risk of the South Heaven Gate interface.

Lin Jibai clenched his teeth.

So Xiaoman didn't suddenly fall ill.

From the moment she was born, she was already written into some cold, hard list.

"Why her?"

The father continued leaving a message.

"If I could, I would rather be the one marked. But the key to the Southern Heavenly Gate requires an unfinished destiny to carry it. When Xiaoman was born, her destiny was not registered, and the old Heavenly Court system could not read it directly. I could only hide a closing key in her dream."

Lin Jibai slammed his fist on the table.

"What gives you the right?"

He knew his father couldn't hear.

But he still asked.

Why did they turn my sister into a key?

Why should they, as siblings, bear the debts of the previous generation?

The screen suddenly flickered.

A new line of text pops up at the bottom of the agreement.

"If the successor's emotional instability exceeds the limit, should we apply to terminate the agreement?"

Lin Jibai was stunned.

Is there a way to lift the restrictions?

He clicked on it immediately.

Conditions for removal: The successor relinquishes the Repairer status, the Sky Pillar Echoes are reset to zero, and the relevant family markers are transferred to the Tianheng Group for supervision.

Subject of supervision: Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Jibai smiled.

"Is this what you call 'release'?"

He pressed the refuse button.

Terminal alarms are going off.

"The successor voluntarily retained the agreement."

"Old Heavenly Court records updated."

"Lin Jibai, risk level upgraded."

At the same moment, footsteps could be heard outside the exhibition hall.

Someone has come in.

Not one.

A dozen or so.

Lin Jibai removed the lunar landing certificate, copied the agreement into his portable maintenance disk, and then turned and crawled into the maintenance port of the model base.

The lights outside came on.

Qin Zhao's voice came through: "Mr. Lin, you always manage to find the most dishonorable way out."

Lin Jibai lay prone in the narrow passage and whispered back, "You've blocked the entire Decent Road."

He climbed along the maintenance pipe, when suddenly a silver light appeared ahead.

The interior of the Buzhou Mountain model should have contained steel frames and wiring.

At this moment, however, a bronze staircase that does not belong to modern technology appears.

At the end of the stairs stood a blurry figure.

The man was wearing old-fashioned engineering uniforms with the number 07 on his chest.

Lin Jibai's breath hitched.

The figure looked up, and its face was exactly like the father's.

But he wasn't speaking his father's voice.

"Agreement inheritance complete."

"Repairman Lin Jibai, please select the first mission."

Behind the bronze steps, three options appear.

First, join Tianheng.

Second, hand over Lin Xiaoman.

Third, open the remaining passage of the Guanghan Palace cold storage.

Lin Jibai stared at the third item.

The next second, all the moon models in the exhibition hall turned towards him at the same time.

It was as if the entire moon was waiting for him to choose.
