Hunt her

The quantum barrier of the Shen family mansion fluctuated abnormally when Yan Xu stepped in.

The pupil sensor locked onto Shen's unmodified natural iris, and the tableware floating on the dining table suddenly stopped.

"Ordinary human?" Shen's father tapped the table with his mechanical fingers, shattering three floating crystal glasses.

Yan Xu's neural interface received an encrypted data stream from Shen Yi—a real-time radiation map of the Orion β region. He was using scientific data to mask her unease.

"She has fixed 17% of the star map errors in the central database." Shen Yi's protective barrier extended into a pale purple light shield, enveloping Yan Xu.

As Shen's mother sneered, the nano-coating on her eyelids gleamed coldly: "We look forward to inheritors with purely mechanical genes."

Yan Xu suddenly raised her hand, and the stardust projected from her fingertips reassembled above the dining table into the Orion Nebula, the very route Shen Yi took when picking her up every day.

"Mother," Shen Yi's robotic arm suddenly covered Yan Xu's hand, the tactile feedback system projecting her body temperature data onto the family terminal, "her neural interface can withstand radiation at the level of a supernova explosion."

The suspended plate suddenly changed its trajectory, piecing together a complete Orion constellation map in front of Yan Xu—a defense protocol that Shen Yi had quietly activated.

Shen's mother's mechanical eyes flashed with a cold light, and the suspended tableware on the dining table suddenly accelerated its rotation, forming a silver barrier.

"Based on your genetic stability, it's only 72%," she pulled up a set of holographic data, "while the Shen family needs a 99.9% perfect match."

Yan Xu's neural interface suddenly received an abnormal data stream—a gravitational wave spectrum of the Orion beta region secretly transmitted by Shen Yi. The chaotic curves flickered in sync with the stardust projection on her fingertips.

"Mother," Shen Yi's mechanical arm hummed softly, the protective barrier changing color from pale purple to deep red, "she can calibrate star maps within gravitational vortexes."

The suspended crystal cup suddenly shattered, and the fragments were captured by the quantum field before hitting the ground, recombining into a miniature Orion model.

Yan Xu felt a slight heat emanating from the nerve interface behind his ear. Shen Yi was transmitting data at an overclocked frequency—the star trail data they had recorded when they first met at the observatory.

Shen's father's mechanical fingers suddenly stopped, and an abnormal code popped up on the holographic screen: "This is... the data decoding method for the Orion Dark Matter Stream?"

Yan Xu's iris reflected the trajectory of the nebula, and his unmodified pupils exhibited a contraction frequency that was completely synchronized with the star map.

Suddenly, a silver-blue data stream burst forth from Yan Xu's fingertips, perfectly merging the stardust projections with the gravitational wave spectrum to construct a dynamic three-dimensional model of Orion above the dining table.

Shen's father's mechanical eyes suddenly contracted, and the code on the holographic screen streaked across the screen like a shooting star—this was the dark matter algorithm that the Shen family had been researching for thirty years.

"Impossible..." Shen's mother's nano-coating began to flicker erratically. "How could unmodified human nerves possibly..."

Shen Yi's protective barrier suddenly unfolded into a nebula shape, enveloping Yan Xu within it: "She reconstructed the quantum algorithm using her biological nervous system." The tableware floating on the dining table suddenly came to a complete stop, reorganizing into precise Orion constellation coordinates in the quantum field.

The neural interface behind Yan Xu's ear lit up with a faint blue light, and the originally disordered gravitational wave curves automatically calibrated into perfect spirals before her eyes.

"Mother," Shen Yi's robotic arm vibrated at an unprecedented high frequency, "she is the true key to unlocking the secrets of Orion."

Suddenly, the nano-coating on Shen's mother burst forth with a blinding silver light, and the quantum field throughout the restaurant began to distort and deform. "Prove it to me." She projected the firewall key to the family's core database into the air. "If you can crack this..." Yan Xu's pupils suddenly dilated, and a spiral pattern identical to that of the Orion Nebula appeared on her iris. Her unmodified fingertips traced the key projection, and the encrypted data reassembled in her palm like stardust. Shen's father's mechanical arm suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and a line of ancient text flashed on the holographic screen—the code of the unknown civilization discovered thirty years ago at the Orion ruins.

"Enough!" Mother Shen's sonic weapon module activated automatically, but was intercepted by Shen Yi's protective force field just before it was about to launch. The young mechanic shielded Yan Xu behind him, and the quantum processor in his spine was issuing an overload warning: "Mother, you are attacking the family's most precious heritage." The floating tableware suddenly exploded, and the fragments formed the coordinates of Orion's main star in the air—the latitude and longitude of Yan Xu's birthplace.

Yan Xu's pupils suddenly contracted into starlight shapes, and the suspended pieces of tableware formed a quantum ripple around her. Shen's mother's nano-coating emitted a piercing electric current sound as she activated a holographic projection—in the excavation records of the Orion ruins thirty years ago, a star map symbol appeared that perfectly matched the patterns on Yan Xu's iris.

"So it was you..." Shen's father's mechanical fingers suddenly froze, and the ancient characters on the holographic screen began to translate automatically, "The 'Native Decoder' mentioned in the ruins..."

Shen Yi's protective force field suddenly intensified, completely enveloping Yan Xu in a pale blue energy field. The quantum processor in his spine issued an overload warning, yet it persisted in transmitting encrypted data: "Mother, didn't you notice? The stardust reaction on her body is completely consistent with the core of the relic."

The restaurant's smart system suddenly sounded an alarm, and a real-time image of the Orion Nebula was projected onto the ceiling—a gravitational wave burst occurring at that very moment, identical to the one that occurred when Yan Xu was born. Shen's mother's mechanical eyes flickered violently, and the genetic testing report she retrieved distorted and warped in the air before finally reforming into a line of glowing interstellar coordinates.

"72% genetic defects..." Yan Xu said softly, his fingertips tracing the floating data stream, "are because the radiation code of the Orion pulsar is encoded in my DNA."

The quantum field in the restaurant suddenly trembled violently, and all the suspended objects began to vibrate at high frequencies. Shen's mother's nano-coating emitted a piercing alarm, and she took two steps back abruptly: "This is impossible... Pulsar radiation codes would only destroy the genes of ordinary humans!" Yan Xu's fingertips suddenly burst forth with blue arcs of electricity, and the data streams swirled around her as a miniature projection of the Orion Nebula.

"Mother, don't you understand?" Shen Yi's quantum processor emitted a blinding red light, and his protective force field resonated with Yan Xu's nerve impulses. "She is not a defective product, but a living key left on Earth by the Orion civilization!"

Suddenly, Shen's father's robotic arm automatically retrieved a long-sealed holographic file. The image showed a girl with the exact same face as Yan Xu, suspended in a quantum field deep within ruins from thirty years ago. At the bottom of the file, a warning message flashed: "When the original decoder awakens, a gravitational wave burst will reshape the galactic coordinates."
