In the live broadcast room, although the outside world's clamor was inaudible, the viewers were electrified as they watched the continuous stream of breaking news summaries from major global news agencies on the system screen. Each line represented the collapse of the Night Consortium, and the excitement among the audience was palpable!
“Holy crap! Holy crap! Five hundred billion dollars?! Just evaporated?!”
“Red notice! Global manhunt! Incredible!!!”
“This is what judgment looks like! This is real justice!”
“Lin Xiaoya! You did it! You really brought these bastards down!”
“This feels so satisfying! I've never felt this good in my life!”
“I’m in tears! Those wronged souls they tormented can finally find some peace!”
The barrage of comments erupted like a volcano, and the accumulated energy levels began to slowly rise again.
Lin Xiaoya observed all of this but felt little of the thrill of revenge.
Bringing down Shen Yexiao was just the beginning.
The Night Consortium was a towering tree with deep roots; it would not completely collapse due to the downfall of a single executive.
The true core, that existence always hidden deeper within... Lu Chen Zhou!
And there was also that secret closely tied to her own origins!
Her gaze refocused on the rotating DNA double helix in the center of the screen.
The speed of the glowing points increased, and the collisions of data chains became more intense!
“‘Gene Traceability’ module analysis in progress…”
“Comparing encrypted data from the ‘Night Gene Database’…”
“Highly matching sequences found…”
"Attempting to crack the sequence marker..."
"Warning! High-intensity information encryption barrier detected! Suspected involvement of 'Dark Night Highest Authority'—core data of 'Project Genesis'!"
Project Genesis?!
Lin Xiaoya's heart suddenly tightened!
She had never heard this name before!
But just the terms "highest authority" and "core data" were enough to indicate its significance!
"Calling upon remaining barrage energy, attempting to bypass the barrier..."
"Energy consumption increasing... 3000... 2500... 2000..."
The energy bar was rapidly depleting!
Lin Xiaoya held her breath, her amber-golden eyes fixed on the screen!
Faster! Even faster!
Just as the energy was about to run out—
"Barrier breach successful!"
"Successfully retrieved partial fragmented information!"
"Integrating..."
The DNA double helix on the screen suddenly erupted in a blinding flash of light!
As the brilliance faded, a line of characters, a mix of ancient symbols and modern genetic codes radiating an ominous aura, slowly materialized in the center of the screen!
It was like a brand, searing into Lin Xiaoya's retina!
More like a cold key, inserted into the long-sealed door of her memories!
"Preliminary results of tracing:"
"Core gene sequence marker—"
"'LCZ-000'"
LCZ...
Lin Xiaoya's pupils suddenly contracted to their utmost!
This marker!
She recognized it!
It was the abbreviation of Lu Chen Zhou's name!
It was the engraving on the titanium steel earring in his left ear!
It was the embroidery on the inside of his leather gloves!
And also...
In her past life, she was imprisoned in that cold laboratory. As her consciousness faded, she seemed to hear the researchers whispering about a certain "Prototype Zero."
LCZ-000...
Lu Chen Zhou... Prototype Zero...
Why was her genetic sequence marked with Lu Chen Zhou?
And what’s more... Prototype Zero?!
Could it be that she, like Lu Mingchuan, was also...
A ridiculous, terrifying thought, yet one that seemed to draw ever closer to the truth, slithered into her mind like a venomous snake!
No! It can't be!
But if it isn't...
What does this code represent?!
What hidden connection related to the "Creation Project" lies between her and Lu Chen Zhou, beyond the betrayal of their past love?
"LCZ-000..."
This cold string of characters burned into Lin Xiaoya's soul like a searing iron.
LCZ... Lu Chen Zhou!
Prototype Zero...?
Who is she?
Who on earth is she?!
Is she, like Lu Mingchuan, a clone created based on some "prototype"?
And that prototype... could it be Lu Chen Zhou himself?!
No!
This thought is too absurd, too horrifying!
The deep-seated betrayal and pain from the past life—could it all be built upon an even more twisted, darker secret?
The hatred she feels for Lu Chen Zhou—did it carry from the very beginning some kind of predetermined, absurd connection rooted in her genes?
Her amber-gold pupils constricted violently, as if her heart were gripped by an invisible hand, nearly stopping its beat.
She stared intently at the ominous string of codes on the screen, trying to extract even the slightest evidence from the cold data that could overturn this terrifying speculation.
Just as her mind was shaken, almost crushed by this sudden fragment of truth—
"Zzzzt..."
A violent electromagnetic interference suddenly flashed along the edges of the live stream's system interface!
A distorted, blurry figure with strong signal interference was forcibly projected in!
It was Shen Yexiao!
His face, usually marked by the obsessive demeanor of a mad scientist, was now filled with disarray and panic.
The setting appeared to be a cramped, swaying, dimly lit space, where the faint sounds of flowing water and machinery could be heard—inside a submarine!
Clearly, the issuance of a global wanted notice and the collapse of the Night Consortium's market value had driven him to desperation!
His bloodshot eyes were fixed intensely on Lin Xiaoya, his voice hoarse and urgent, laced with a near-manic persuasion:
"Lin Xiaoya! No! Su Wan! My... my daughter!"
He actually shouted the name "Su Wan"!
And he referred to her as "daughter"?!
A thunderous sound echoed in Lin Xiaoya's mind, as if something had exploded within her!
"Su Wan"... this name was like a key that instantly unlocked a deliberately sealed fragment of her past life memories!
It was a lavish wedding... she wore a pure white wedding dress, holding her father's hand... wait, that father's face...
