In the control room, I stood before the console, my fingers hovering over the interface. Through the analysis of the viral sequence, every button and switch became clear, like a glowing circuit diagram.
They were initiating the first phase of activation, and I observed the doctors across from me as they moved according to the sequence, which had a total of five stages.
"Are we supposed to operate in complete opposition?" Zhou Jing asked.
I shook my head. "No, we must maintain precise relativity. Just like the yin-yang symbol in Tai Chi, every action must find its perfect counterpart."
The first phase was simple: as they rotated the energy valve clockwise, I turned it counterclockwise; when they increased the voltage, I decreased it; when they accelerated the particle flow, I slowed it down.
"It's working!" Miho exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the readings as two sets of data began to form a symmetry.
Just as we entered the second phase, an unexpected event occurred. One of the doctors seemed to notice an anomaly in the energy field and turned to look around.
"Get down!" I whispered urgently.
Fortunately, the console was high enough to shield us. The doctor’s suspicion grew as he walked toward us.
"Continue operating," I instructed Zhou Jing, "just as I showed you. Jiang Zhendong, look for an opportunity to subdue him."
At that moment, the doctor approached the console. Just as he was about to check on things, Jiang Zhendong struck from behind. In that critical instant, the doctor turned with astonishing speed—this was no ordinary person.
"Be careful!" I shouted. "Their internal viral sequences have fully activated!"
Jiang Zhendong narrowly avoided his counterattack. The doctor's movements were bizarrely swift, resembling some kind of inhuman creature. To make matters worse, his shout alerted others nearby.
"Intruder!"
The situation became dire in an instant. Just then, I noticed something unusual on the console: the energy field had not collapsed due to our interruption; instead, it formed a strange oscillation.
Suddenly, it dawned on me—this was not merely oppositional; it was complementary! Like base pairing in genetic sequences.
I closed my eyes and let the viral sequence operate at full capacity. In this state, I could see the entire flow of energy within the system. More importantly, I noticed that the viral structures within those doctors were incomplete!
"Li Yang!" I called out urgently. "Their sequences are missing negative components! We just need to disrupt their balance!"
Li Yang immediately understood my intent. He rushed to the first console and skillfully adjusted several parameters. Instantly, a violent fluctuation rippled through the energy field in the room.
The doctors' movements slowed as if affected by some interference. Seizing this opportunity, Jiang Zhendong and Miho quickly subdued them.
"Hurry," I urged, "to the third phase!"
The next operations became increasingly complex. Every movement had to be executed with pinpoint accuracy; even a slight deviation could lead to a collapse of the entire system. Moreover, I noticed that my own viral sequence was also undergoing changes, seemingly resonating with the system.
Finally, we reached the last phase. At that moment, I saw a line of new code flash before my eyes: this was not just a reverse activation sequence; it was a complete decoding sequence!
I suddenly understood; the ancient civilization left this system not to create a virus, but to teach us how to resolve it. Li Yang continued, "This is an immune sequence!"
At the moment the last parameter was input, the entire room was enveloped in a blinding light. I felt the viral sequence within me undergoing some kind of transformation. The codes that had once troubled me began to reorganize, forming an entirely new sequence.
On the monitoring screen, we witnessed a shocking sight: activation points around the world were experiencing the same changes. Those who had already been infected were undergoing the same transformation within their bodies.
"Is it over?" Zhou Jing asked.
"No," I replied, watching the data that was still changing. This was just the beginning.
Because within those decoded messages, I saw a greater mystery waiting for us to unravel. It was a startling truth about human origins, ancient civilizations, and future evolution.
All of this was hidden within that simple yet profound Taiji diagram.
