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

Wen Qingyue replicated Lin Jibai's heartbeat.

This is worse than the Scavenger launch.

The Scavenger at least has a launch tower, fuel, a countdown timer, a trajectory to intercept, and valves to shut off.

There was no heartbeat.

It's just a frequency.

A frequency segment that is intercepted, simulated, amplified, and then projected back onto the common overlay interface by the residual nodes of Tianheng.

Inside the main control room, the toolbox was still vibrating slightly.

thump.

thump.

On the other side of the screen, the Tianheng node is also flashing synchronously.

thump.

thump.

Lin Xiaoman's face was frighteningly pale.

"That's not my brother."

Wen Qingyue replied very quickly.

Please provide proof.

Xu Wangshu's eyes were extremely cold.

"Disable access to the Tianheng node."

Qin Lan shook her head.

"We can't just shut it down. It's posted on a public verification network. If we forcibly block it, it will accuse us of using the self-correcting mechanism of the human world to refuse to provide evidence."

Lu Chengong gripped the broken bow stabilizer, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"So you're just going to let her disgust people here?"

Wen Zhaolin suddenly spoke up: "She's not trying to prove whether it's true or false."

Xu Wangshu looked at him.

"She wants to make it impossible to determine the uniqueness of the Nuwa fragments." Wen Zhaolin's voice was deep. "Once the uniqueness is contaminated, the recycling plan must be suspended. The longer the suspension lasts, the smaller the window for stabilizing the Gonggong variable before the fire seed manifests."

"And then she proposed centralized handling?" Qin Lan asked.

"right."

Lin Jibai clicked his tongue softly in the toolbox.

"Are all Wen family members this roundabout in their actions?"

Wen Zhaolin did not refute.

"I used to be even more convoluted."

Xu Wangshu had no time to listen to his confession.

She stared at the fragments of Nuwa.

"Uniqueness is not proven by heartbeats. Heartbeats are merely the rhythm of a carrier, not the person themselves."

Fragments of floating characters.

Higher stats required.

"Use memory?"

Memories can be copied.

"Use kinship identification?"

[Family identification can be compromised.]

Lu Chengong asked irritably, "Then what exactly does it recognize?"

The fragment of Nuwa paused for a moment before giving its answer.

[Recognize the cracks that result from making a choice.]

The main control room quieted down.

Xu Wangshu suddenly understood.

Heartbeats can be simulated.

Language can be imitated.

Memories can be copied.

But the cracks left by a person's choices are hard to fake.

Because the cracks are not only in himself, but also in the world that he has influenced.

Lin Jibai chose to stake out Doubao and Ximen's hints, the crack in the lighthouse stopped expanding, the boundaries of the toolbox's identity strengthened, and blank edges appeared in the corresponding memories in the Human Testimony Network.

These connections are something that copying a heartbeat cannot achieve.

Xu Wangshu quickly established a comparison model.

She didn't just do it within the technical team.

She made every judgment of the model public on the testimony network, allowing external nodes to question it. Because Wen Qingyue was most adept at using the term "black box," once the uniqueness verification was announced only by the main control module, she could immediately repackage it as a new power monopoly.

So Xu Wangshu simply handed over the knife.

"Whoever thinks there's a flaw in this logic, bring it up now."

The public channel was briefly disrupted.

Some people asked, what if Tianheng also creates a rift chain? Some people asked, does a rift left behind by being forced to do so count as the person themselves? Others asked, if Lin Jibai regrets his choice later, will today's choice become evidence that locks him down?

Xu Wangshu responded to each of the points.

A forgerable chain of rifts must simultaneously alter the records of the Lighthouse, the individual, the Testimony Network, and the Skystopper. Forced choices do not count as anchor points. If the individual regrets their decision, the right to retract takes precedence over historical records.

This is the true nature of human destruction.

Slow, but not lazy.

[Uniqueness check: Select the crack chain.]

First step: I choose to expend my memories.

Second step: The lighthouse on the far side of the moon receives the corresponding backfill.

The third link: the loss of memory details corresponding to the ground carrier.

Fourth link: Relevant human testimonies create interpretable gaps.

Fifth Ring: Nuwa's Sky-Mending Bureau records the path of patching the gaps.

"Tianheng replicated the rhythm, but there was no chain of cracks." Xu Wangshu revealed the results, "It only has a thumping sound."

Lin Jibai's voice came from the toolbox.

"Dr. Xu, your summary is quite damaging."

The public review channel quickly followed suit.

The administrator of the Aerospace City Exhibition Hall uploaded a statement: The West Gate access sign is still on the wall, but Lin Jibai himself cannot repeat the reason.

The lighthouse on the far side of the moon uploaded a backfill record: It received two segments of daily memories, and the crack stopped expanding.

Lin Xiaoman uploaded a confirmation from a relative: her brother kept the medical treatment consent form, but temporarily forgot about Doubao.

Fragments of Nuwa float with words.

[Select the complete crack chain.]

[Tianheng Simulation Node: No Cracks.]

[Judgment: False anchor.]

Wen Qingyue remained silent for three seconds.

Then, she completely abandoned any semblance of decorum.

If one must prove their uniqueness through attrition, then the very mechanism of humanity is cruel.

Xu Wangshu replied coldly.

The cruel thing is that you replicate his loss, trying to steal his return.

Qin Lan immediately issued a disciplinary order.

[The remaining nodes of Tianheng are suspected of contaminating public review; their review priority has been frozen.]

This time, there was no widespread opposition on public channels.

Because everyone saw it.

Wen Qingyue was not raising risks.

She is creating risk.

The moment the Tianheng node was demoted, my heart skipped a beat in the toolbox.

Xu Wangshu immediately turned around.

"Lin Jibai?"

no answer.

My heart continued to beat.

thump.

thump.

But the flashlight didn't light up.

A new notification pops up on the lunar map.

[Ground carrier identity boundary stability: 46 percent.]

[Backlash from missing memories detected.]

Lin Xiaoman's voice trembled with anxiety.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Wangshu looked at the monitoring chart, his face gradually darkening.

"The memory he entrusted to the lighthouse was touched by the taint of the false anchor."

Lu Chengong asked, "What will happen?"

A faint light finally appeared in the toolbox.

Lin Jibai's voice came from inside, so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Ximen..."

Xu Wangshu bent down.

What are you thinking about?

"Don't go through the west gate."

She had barely breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Jibai continued:

"Behind Ximen... there's no dog."

All screens in the main control cabin flashed simultaneously.

In the surveillance footage at the west gate of the Aerospace City exhibition hall, the old dog named Doubao was squatting at the entrance, barking wildly at the empty shadows.

In the shadows, a bright red ancient character flashed briefly.

Zhu Rong.
