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

The hospital has been locked down.

The area outside the police line was packed with people.

Some people said the whole building had turned the color of the moon, some said they saw white mist rising from the wards, and others knelt on the ground reciting ancient sayings they couldn't even understand.

Lin Jibai did not use the main entrance.

He climbed up the outer wall of the building next door, kicked the glass of the connecting corridor, and rushed into the inpatient department.

Xu Wangshu followed behind, panting and pale.

"Next time, could you choose a path that's neither illegal nor tiring?"

Yes, there is an elevator.

"The elevator is blocked."

"So shut up and crawl."

Outside the Moonlight Ward, the people from Tianheng Medical had already left.

There was only a layer of white frost left in the corridor.

Lin Jibai pushed open the door.

Lin Xiaoman was still in bed.

But the space around her swayed like the surface of water.

The bedside monitor does not display heart rate.

It's a countdown.

Time elapsed until Guanghan Palace pre-reception is complete: 00:18:47.

Lin Jibai rushed over and grabbed his sister's hand.

cold.

So cold it was unnatural.

"Xiaoman, wake up."

Lin Xiaoman did not open her eyes.

A small silver door pattern floated in her palm.

Xu Wangshu's voice tightened after the inspection: "The location has been completed. The live broadcast incident amplified the signal, and she is now a clear target of the lunar far-side cold storage."

"How do we determine this?"

"Unless the remaining interfaces at Nantianmen are shut down."

"Where?"

Xu Wangshu looked at his palm.

The coordinate frozen within Lin Jibai's skin was glowing.

The father's voice.

He said he could hear his father's voice there.

Lin Jibai closed his eyes and deliberately released the Heavenly Pillar Echo.

This time, I didn't just hear it passively.

He went deeper into the area on his own.

First came the sound of the wind, then the creaking of metal, and finally the sigh of my father.

"It is white."

Lin Jibai stood on a black surface of the moon.

In the distance is the fractured Buzhou Mountain, and nearby is a giant gate half-buried in the lunar soil.

A man was kneeling at the door.

Lin Wangchuan.

His body was pierced by countless silver cables, and half of his face had been mechanized, yet he was still the father in Lin Jibai's memory who would cook noodles for the two siblings at night.

Lin Jibai's throat tightened: "Dad."

Lin Wangchuan looked up, as if looking at him through a dream.

"You shouldn't have heard the second message so soon."

"Enough nonsense. Xiaoman is being taken away."

The father remained silent.

Tell me how to save her.

Lin Wangchuan's voice was low: "There are only two ways to prevent the reception. First, hand over the South Heavenly Gate key and let Tianheng take over her."

"second."

"You enter Project Tianheng, approach the far side of the moon link, and rewrite the target permissions before the reception is complete."

Lin Jibai laughed: "After all this, I'm still going to join Tianheng."

"Yes."

"Did you make the same choice back then?"

Lin Wangchuan did not deny it.

"I thought that repairing Buzhou Mountain could protect the human world. Later I learned that the complete pillar of heaven was not a bridge, but a chain."

Lin Jibai's heart skipped a beat.

The father looked up, his eyes clearer than ever before.

"Ji Bai, remember that."

"Mount Buzhou cannot be repaired completely."

"A complete Heavenly Pillar will allow the old Heavenly Court to regain control of the human world."

The giant gate in the distance trembled.

Countless voices came from the crack in the door, like hundreds of millions of people being registered, sorted, and assigned their fates at the same time.

"The Heavenly Court doesn't care about good or evil, it only cares about order. It will give everyone a place and it will also erase all those who shouldn't exist."

Lin Jibai recalled the failure variable in the agreement.

I recall the nameless shadows in the cold storage.

"Does Wen Zhaolin know about this?"

"He knows part of it." Lin Wangchuan closed his eyes. "But he thinks the world has rotted to the point that it needs to be taken over."

"So you betrayed him?"

"I didn't betray him," the father said. "I betrayed my own arrogance from back then."

The lunar surface began to collapse.

The comment period is almost over.

Lin Jibai asked anxiously, "What should we do about Xiaoman?"

Lin Wangchuan stretched out his hand, and a piece of silver code appeared in his palm.

"Take the agreement to Wen Zhaolin."

"Join the program."

"Then, don't believe him."

Lin Jibai wanted to ask more, but his father suddenly looked behind him.

His expression changed for the first time.

"wake up!"

"The Moon Palace has already reached out!"

Lin Jibai suddenly opened his eyes.

In the ward, a white hand appeared beside Lin Xiaoman's bed.

A hand emerged from the moonlight and gently grasped Lin Xiaoman's wrist.

The monitor's countdown timer has reached zero.
