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

The Moon Palace has no eaves, no jade steps, and no cassia trees.

It is a black cold storage room embedded beneath the moon's crust.

The entrance resembled a vertical eye, surrounded by a thick layer of white frost. As the spaceship landed, the flames from its thrusters didn't melt the frost; instead, they were swallowed up by the frost layer, as if heat had no place here.

The hatch opened.

Vacuum and deathly silence rushed in at the same time.

The three passed through the temporary airlock and stepped onto the lunar surface.

Lin Jibai looked up.

Earth is not visible from here.

The near side of the moon always faces the human world, and the far side always faces away from the human world.

Therefore, there is no hometown here.

Xu Wangshu opened the data box, and the old moon image inside floated up, automatically forming a light blue path.

"The Guanghan Palace's cold storage has seven layers," she said. "The outer layer stores mythical organs, the middle layer stores the remains of ancient gods, and the inner layer stores abnormal humans. Xiaoman is on the seventh layer."

Lin Jibai asked, "Where are the guards?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the frost on both sides of the entrance peeled off.

Two jade-white mechanical figures stood up.

They resembled rabbits, but were as tall as an adult, with scalpel-like metal ears protruding from their backs. Their eyes glowed red, and their voices were so gentle they sent chills down your spine.

"Welcome to the Guanghan Palace Cold Storage."

Please submit the archive number.

Lu Chen raised his bow.

Xu Wangshu held him down: "Don't move. This is a cold storage room. Shooting randomly might wake everything inside."

Lin Jibai stepped forward: "We've come to retrieve Lin Xiaoman."

The mechanical Jade Rabbit tilts its head.

"Abnormal samples are not allowed to be retrieved."

"She is not a sample."

"All unregistered human units that can affect the South Heavenly Gate are considered anomalous samples."

Lin Jibai's wrist lit up with his succession certificate.

"I am the successor to the repairman."

The mechanical jade rabbit's eyes flashed red.

"Permission expired".

Xu Wangshu stepped forward, and the moon painting unfolded behind her like a pair of cold white wings.

"Chang'e candidate, requesting temporary access to the database."

The mechanical Jade Rabbit lowered its head simultaneously.

"Vault keeper access control".

"Please confirm the cost."

Xu Wangshu frowned: "What price?"

"Each time a cold storage room is opened, the candidate will inherit a segment of the cold storage's memory."

The degree of memory contamination is unknown.

"The risk of personality deviation is unknown."

Lin Jibai immediately said, "No."

Xu Wangshu didn't even look at him: "Confirmed."

The first door opened.

A surge of cold air emanated from the room.

Xu Wangshu groaned and leaned against the wall.

Lin Jibai tried to help her up, but she pushed him away.

"I saw the previous Chang'e," she whispered. "She didn't fly to the moon; she was sent up here to close the door."

In the first layer of the cold storage, countless transparent tanks are suspended.

The jars do not contain specimens, but rather fragments of mythological remains that are still pulsating.

Half a dragon horn.

A split golden crow feather.

A huge, closed eyeball.

There was also a fleshy branch that kept growing and freezing, labeled: Old God Regeneration Tissue, Do Not Touch.

Lu Chenggong's breathing became heavy: "If these things were to fall to Earth..."

Xu Wangshu said, "Therefore, the Moon Palace is not a palace, but a garbage dump and a safe."

The second layer is now open.

Her face turned even paler.

This time, she saw the keeper of the cold storage remove his name from the human genealogy in exchange for a hundred years of stability for the cold storage.

The third layer.

They encountered the first conscious remains of an ancient god.

It was a face floating in cold liquid, with handsome features and the words "Rain Master" engraved on its forehead.

As soon as it opened its eyes, water droplets immediately seeped out from the entire inner wall of the cold storage.

Is it still raining in the human world?

Lin Jibai stopped.

Xu Wangshu whispered, "Don't answer. The ancient gods connect with the human world through concepts."

But when that face turned to Lin Jibai, it smiled.

"The taste of Gonggong."

"You've come to break pillars again?"

Lin Jibai remained silent.

The remains of the Rain Master suddenly cried.

A light rain began to fall inside the cold storage.

"Good decision."

"If the pillar hadn't been broken that year, we would all have become tools of the Heavenly Court."

Lu Chenggong's expression changed slightly.

"Even the old gods oppose the Heavenly Court?"

The Rain Master's laughter was hoarse: "The Heavenly Court is not the home of the gods, but their cage."

The next second, the mechanical jade rabbit rushed in, its scalpel ear piercing through the Rain Master's scarred face.

"Abnormal comments will be archived more thoroughly."

The cold liquid refreezes.

Lin Jibai felt a chill in his heart.

Wen Zhaolin said that the old Heavenly Court could bring order.

But even the Old Gods are afraid of this order.

The fourth floor, the fifth floor, and the sixth floor.

With each new layer opened, Xu Wangshu fell a little quieter.

When they reached the sixth floor, she suddenly called Lin Jibai by the wrong name.

"Lin Wangchuan, don't touch that."

Lin Jibai froze.

Xu Wangshu was also stunned, her eyes momentarily unfocused.

"Feel sorry."

"Whose memories did you inherit?"

“A warehouse keeper who knew your father,” she said, looking at him. “She said Lin Wangchuan didn’t defect back then. He stayed voluntarily.”

Before Lin Jibai could ask any further questions, the seventh door had already appeared in front of them.

There was no lock on the door.

There is only one line of text.

[The Archive of Abnormal Humans.]

Please confirm: Do people take precedence over order?

Lin Jibai reached out and pressed it.

"confirm."

The door was not opened.

The mechanical Jade Rabbit's voice rang out: "Repairman's permissions are insufficient."

Lu Chengong stepped forward: "Hou Yi's sequence confirmed."

The door remained closed.

Xu Wangshu, referring to the previous month's image: "Chang'e candidate confirmed."

The door shook, but it still didn't open.

Lin Jibai suddenly heard Lin Xiaoman's voice.

"elder brother."

It asks you for an answer, not for permission.

Lin Jibai looked up at the line of words.

Do people take precedence over order?

Wen Zhaolin said that only by prioritizing order can people live better lives.

The Heavenly Court will say that registration is the priority, and any abnormalities must be filed.

Where is Father?

My father stood guard at the South Heavenly Gate for ten years, just to prevent the gate from opening.

Lin Jibai slammed his fist on the door.

People make mistakes, get confused, and hurt each other.

"But people are not parts of a system."

"My sister isn't."

"Neither do I."

The door to the seventh floor suddenly opened.

Deep within the frigid mist, countless transparent coffins floated.

In the very center of the room, Lin Xiaoman's eyes were closed, her eyelashes covered in white frost.

A door-shaped light mark was on her chest, pulsating intermittently.

Each time the light imprint jumped, an echo resounded from the depths of the moon's back, as if a giant gate had opened.

Xu Wangshu's expression changed drastically.

"The South Heavenly Gate is responding to her."

Lin Jibai rushed over.

Just before his hand touched the coffin, a figure appeared beside it.

The man was wearing a spacesuit from the Buzhou Mountain Project from ten years ago, with half of his body covered in black mechanical patterns.

Lin Jibai stopped breathing.

The figure looked up, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

"It is white."

"Don't save her."
