Chapter 639 Swiss Dark Web
Chapter 639 Swiss Dark Web
Geneva, 4 a.m.
Amidst the wind and snow, before dawn, the mountains lay silent, like the border of the underworld.
Lin Yun was wearing a black compression suit, with Starlink's exclusive tactical team behind her. Two operatives were scanning the mountain's texture with portable devices.
Their destination was the "Hidden Experiment Center," hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains, where the remains of the earliest experimental subjects of Project W, as well as Shen Yanli's earliest consciousness transplant module, were said to be sealed.
This was also Lin Chuyue's order: to enter the base's core control room, find the file numbered "E03-Shen", and locate the "afterimage program" that Shen Yanli ultimately deployed.
Lin Yun stared at the rock wall in front of her, her gaze steady.
A teammate whispered a report: "We have detected a change in temperature, and there are artificial structures in the rock mass ahead."
"Begin breaking it down."
Ten minutes later, the rock wall slowly opened, revealing a passage less than two meters wide. Deep inside the passage were layers of metal doors and high-voltage infrared defense lines.
Lin Yun didn't speak, but instead lowered her head to adjust the micro-frequency pulse device on her wrist—this was a specially made "signal interference wristband" by Lin Chuyue, which could block infrared lock signals for 3 minutes.
Three minutes is equivalent to a life-or-death pass.
"Go!" she commanded, and the group rushed into the passage one after another, moving so fast they almost glided along the ground.
Three minutes later, the alarm did not sound.
The team successfully entered the internal passage and arrived smoothly at the first-floor experimental data room.
The air was dry and cold, with a faint blue light emanating from the end of the corridor. The walls were covered with coded locks and biometric devices. The personnel in the distance inserted an external data stick and started the cracking program.
Lin Yun then quickly walked to the closed compartment door on the left and pressed the unlock command.
The door slowly opened, and a strong smell of disinfectant wafted out.
Inside the capsule lies a young girl, asleep in a frozen glass chamber.
Number: E-03-Shen
Age: fourteen years old
Status: Consciousness stripped away, awaiting integration
Lin Yun held her breath and stared at the face—a face that looked remarkably like Shen Fang's, almost overlapping with a photo of her when she was young.
"This is... Shen Yanli's daughter?" a team member exclaimed in a low voice.
"No, it's one of Shen Fang's clones."
Lin Yun's eyes were cold. "In the Shen family, identity is just an experimental designation."
Just as she was about to continue browsing through the electronic documents, the system suddenly issued an alarm—
External interference signals detected; the data interface is being remotely intercepted.
Lin Yun's expression suddenly changed.
"Exit the data interface!" she shouted.
But it was too late; a data stream that didn't belong to their system suddenly flooded the screen:
"Lin Yun, it really is you."
"You shouldn't have come."
The electronic voice was cold and icy, and then the entire laboratory lit up with scarlet alarm lights.
"Shen Yanli," Lin Yun whispered through gritted teeth.
This is a trap.
Shen Yanli had been waiting for her for a long time—he probably even knew that Lin Chuyue would send her to Switzerland.
"Run!" Lin Yun drew her vibrating gun and retreated with the two tacticians.
But suddenly the high-voltage door on the other side of the laboratory opened, and three modified beings dressed in silver-white battle suits blocked their retreat.
"Fire!"
The two sides exchanged fierce fire in the passage, with energy blasts sparking a great deal of fire.
Despite her injuries, Lin Yun retreated to the exit of the passage, then turned back at the last second to close it and destroy it. There was no sign of relaxation in her eyes.
She knew—Shen Yanli had deliberately let them go.
This is nothing more than a psychological battle.
More importantly, before the data flowed into the Starlink data stick, some strange code was implanted into the Envision master database.
After returning to China, this seemingly harmless code could very well become the key to a reverse intrusion.
Lin Yun pursed her lips and whispered, "Chu Yue, we might... be being tracked by him."
?
Meanwhile, at the Shen family's old residence.
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan had just entered the secret passage of the Shen residence and were going deeper along the semi-abandoned ancient well passage. The dampness and musty smell mixed together, making it almost suffocating.
This is a secret passage that Shen's mother secretly set up before her death, hiding a set of unregistered private recording devices.
“She once told me that if the Shen family were to change its fortunes one day, she would send you to see these things,” Chen Yulan said, her voice heavy with suppressed emotion, before stepping aside.
Lin Chuyue gently opened the old wooden box, inside which was an old video recorder and a bundle of videotapes.
Li Zhanchuan took it, inserted it into the portable device, and the image slowly appeared on the screen—
In the picture, Shen's mother is holding young Lin Chuyue, and there is another baby-looking boy beside her.
“They are twins,” Shen’s mother said softly. “I originally planned to raise them together, but Shen Fang took the boy away, saying she wanted to hand him over to the experimental group for early training.”
“I have always suspected that she did not hand over the baby, but instead had someone switch the baby’s identity.”
"Lin Chuyue is not a 'pawn' of the Shen family."
"But she is the true 'mother' whom she deliberately concealed."
Li Zhanchuan's expression changed drastically: "She said... you are the Matrix of Consciousness?"
Lin Chuyue's eyes also rippled with emotion. She murmured, "Shen Fang has been creating a 'controller,' but she has never truly controlled me. She's just hiding me away—waiting for the right opportunity to appear."
"She thought she was in control of everything, but she was also...afraid of me."
Li Zhanchuan pulled her into his arms: "If you are the mother piece in the center of the chessboard, then I will be your sharpest piece."
Even if this game of chess requires risking everything.
Lin Chuyue leaned against him and nodded gently.
"Now, we're going to turn things around and launch an attack that will catch Shen Yanli off guard."
?
That night, the Far Vision Intelligence Department system issued its first emergency order:
[All members of the "Lin" faction have undergone cross-verification to confirm whether any identity fraud has occurred.]
Meanwhile, within Starlink Medical—
Gu Yanchuan suddenly fell into a coma and was taken to the treatment ward.
The physiological data were normal, but there was no fluctuation in consciousness or reaction.
Lin Chuyue rushed over, and the scan data showed that a "subconscious embedded virus" had appeared in his brain.
And all this——
The source was the abnormal data packet in the data stick brought back from Switzerland.
“This is not a virus,” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice. “This is a remote takeover.”
"It is Shen Yanli who is creating a second 'Gu Yanchuan'."
**
Lin Chuyue stood in front of Gu Yanchuan's sickbed, her expression unusually solemn.
A new problem arose before her:
She could save Gu Yanchuan, but she had to enter his consciousness—
That would mean that she herself might be "infiltrated" by Shen Yanli, exposing her ultimate mother identity.
Li Zhanchuan stood behind her and asked in a low voice, "Are you going?"
Lin Chuyue looked at Gu Yanchuan, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes:
"I must go."
"I cannot allow him to be copied."
—The prelude to the battle of consciousness has officially begun.

[To be continued]
?
Lin Chuyue infiltrated Gu Yanchuan's consciousness;
Li Zhanchuan's consciousness connection device has been tampered with;
Shen Yanli appears remotely via "projection," inducing Lin Chuyue to enter a false memory;
The "forbidden zone" hidden deep within Gu Yanchuan's heart is opened...
