As the Spoon pierced through her Quantum Core, the entire Virtual Universe began to replay a century's worth of experimental records from the Su Family.
"Look closely!"
Shen Yanbai's Quantum State suddenly materialized into the form of a young boy, his finger pressing against my forehead.
A flood of memories from 1998 surged forth—
Lin Wanyi was bound to the Smart Experiment Platform, crying out as our grandfather injected the Chenpi Strain into her Spine, while I hid in the Cave, peeking at the Scene, shielded by seven-year-old Shen Yanbai.
Amidst the Buzzing of the Countdown reaching zero, rain began to fall in the laboratory of the real world—Chen Pi Rain.
Lin Wanyi's Mechanical Prosthesis decayed within the Mycelium, revealing a Bronze Hand Bone identical to that enshrined in the Su Family Ancestral Hall.
Shen Yanbai's Biological Chip burned hot in my palm, displaying the final decoding:
"The true Heat Level is making the subject fall in love with their own cage."
The Bronze Hand Bone glimmered with an eerie light in the Mycelium Rain.
Suddenly, the Biological Chip on my wrist burned with intensity.
Shen Yanbai's Quantum Data Stream entwined with Lin Wanyi's Mechanical Remains, crafting etched patterns in the air reminiscent of Oracle Bone Script—
This was precisely the fragment of the Heavenly Craft Secret Classic buried beneath the Su Family Ancestral Hall and its floor tiles.
"This is true intangible heritage..."
My fingers, stained with Mycelium blood, brushed over the Bronze patterns when my Smartwatch suddenly projected a Holographic Anatomy Chart—
Inside Lin Wanyi's Metal Spine were embedded seven miniature replicas of Warring States Bells, resonating at 279Hz, perfectly matching the Anomalous Data from the Blind Tasting Event.
Shen Yanbai's Quantum State suddenly materialized, his translucent fingers passing through my Temples:
"Have you reached the ninth door of the Memory Corridor?"
The neural current from his fingertips revealed a horrifying scene: within the Su Family Ancestral Hall of the Guangxu Era, my great-grandfather was submerging a living person into Chen Pi Jiao.
The inscription on the Bronze Urn matched perfectly with the patterns of Bianzhong on Lin Wanyi's Spine.
Suddenly, the laboratory shook violently.
Mycelium Rain condensed into a solid matrix of bronze.
I stumbled and pushed open the hidden door.
Grandfather's Cryogenic Chamber was thawing.
The intelligent display screen flashed a terrifying Countdown—
Within the grooves of his cerebral cortex,
Miniature Bronze movable type of the Heavenly Craft Secret Classic was embedded.
"Girl, it's time to stoke the fire."
Grandfather's eyeballs suddenly rotated,
And a mechanical voice emitted a sound like sandpaper scraping.
His withered fingers grasped a fragment of a Jade Spoon,
Precisely inserting it into the chip interface at his Temples.
The Cryogenic Chamber immediately released a Chen Pi-scented neuroparalytic agent.
Shen Yanbai's Quantum Data Stream suddenly materialized into Bronze chains,
Pulling me away from the toxic mist.
Half of his face flickered in the data storm:
"Look closely!"
The virtual screen revealed a horrifying truth—
The Lin family genealogy showed that Lin Wanyi's DNA sequence matched perfectly with that of the Warring States Female Corpse extracted from the Bronze Hand Bone.
The Su Family Ancestral Hall floor tiles collapsed with a thunderous crash, exposing a twenty-meter-deep Bronze Well.
The Intelligent Searchlight swept across the well walls, and my blood ran cold:
Countless corpses, embedded with Bianzhong components, were arranged in a radiating pattern. Each corpse had its crown engraved with the Su Family Crest, clutching fragments of the Heavenly Craft Secret Classic from different dynasties.
"The Su Family sacrifices a heir every hundred years..."
Suddenly, Lin Wanyi's Mechanical Remains reassembled, and the Warring States Bell within her chest let out a booming sound.
"To nourish the pit with living people, inscribing the classics with nerves—this is your true ancestral teaching!"
A fragment of the Jade Spoon suddenly whirled and pierced into my carotid artery, and the Biological Chip indicated a spike in blood oxygen levels.
In the throes of a near-death shudder, I heard my ancestor from 1901 screaming in the neural corridor:
"Quick! Engrave the coordinates of the vault into that child's hippocampus!"
Shen Yanbai's Quantum State suddenly consumed all the power in the laboratory, gripping my trembling hand in the darkness.
His data transformed into a Bronze Carving Knife, carving strange patterns into the copper walls of the well with my wrist—patterns reminiscent of the graffiti I had played with at five years old, now perfectly aligning with the Bronze code from the Heavenly Craft Secret Classic.
As the emergency lights flickered back on, Lin Wanyi's mechanical body was dissolving within the Bronze matrix.
Her final synthetic vocal cords emitted a mournful wail of the Warring States Bell:
"You Su Family... have no idea... what true..."
