(Double Chapter)

…

Deep underground.

Su Mo stood in front of the terminal computer controlling the Moon Concealing Arm Blade storage, repeatedly checking the electronic hacker in his hand.

The electronic hacker, which was supposed to work fully automatically, was now unresponsive no matter how he tinkered with it.

“Has Dorne remotely shut it down…”

Su Mo’s brow furrowed tightly.

This was different from the original plot again.

In the original plot, Ou Chenyu’s electronic hacker could be used normally throughout.

In the plot branch, if the player decided not to turn the Moon Concealing Arm Blade over to the authorities but to keep it secretly, they could come to this room with the electronic hacker and decrypt the terminal effortlessly.

But now the electronic hacker was unusable, completely deviating from the original plot. What to do?

Although smashing the storage could also retrieve the Moon Concealing Arm Blade.

But if he can’t activate the control terminal to implant it into his body, he won’t be able to break through that isolation door, let alone take it back to the Future.

He originally thought that Dongdong might be able to help break the door.

The constant dull sounds of door-kicking above suggested she was driving the mecha to kick the door, and with enough time, she might kick it open.

But now the noise of kicking the door had stopped, which probably meant something had happened above.

The drastic plot changes, the failure of the electronic hacker, Dongdong’s safety…all these factors combined made Su Mo restless.

He looked at the terminal computer, his thoughts starting to race.

At the moment, it seems that to leave here, decrypting the terminal to implant the Moon Concealing Arm Blade is necessary, with no other way.

And to decrypt the terminal, it’s not necessarily required to use the electronic hacker.

There is another way.

A way only he can accomplish.

But that method…can his brain withstand it?

Su Mo remained silent for a moment, first powering on the terminal computer.

Soon, a black background with a white-framed password interface appeared before him.

When he was young, Su Mo’s brain was damaged in a car accident, accidentally acquiring a super memory ability.

Anything he ever saw would be etched into his memory.

These memories would remain buried deep in his brain, not interfering with daily life.

But as long as he intentionally engaged them, he could recall those memories, even preserving the nearly infinite details within them.

Su Mo actually knew the password to this terminal computer.

Because the game “Dawn” was made in great detail.

In the original plot, when Ou Chenyu used the electronic hacker to decrypt the password, a rapid sequence of numbers would flash on the screen’s password box.

Those numbers were the password, decoded by the electronic hacker, generating 20 digits per second, with a total decryption time of 172.45 seconds, amounting to 3449 digits.

For ordinary people, witnessing the decryption scene was meaningless; they couldn’t catch the generation speed of 20 digits per second, much less remember 3449 random digits.

But Su Mo could.

Whether he desired it or not, witnessing those numbers bouncing, his super-memory brain would automatically remember them, keeping them buried in the depths of memory.

And what he needed to do now was retrieve that memory.

It sounds simple, but it’s not.

This super memory ability has significant side effects.

Extracting those buried memories severely affects the brain’s nerves, causing intense head pain.

Before crossing, he often went to neurology for medication, taking painkillers to the point of tolerance.

If it were merely a simple, rough recollection, as long as he didn’t overly strain his brain, the headache symptoms wouldn’t be very obvious.

But recalling 3449 random digits meant extracting extremely specific details from his memory, an unimaginable burden on the brain for such a level of super memory.

He’d never tried it before, nor dared to try; it could burst brain vessels, endangering his life.

But now, it seemed the only way.

Dongdong was still outside fighting to the death.

There was no way he could hide below, leaving all the burden on her.

Nor could he stop at such a place.

Besides, he now had the Crimson Rose Blood Code, which should suppress some brain damage to a certain extent.

Then…let’s challenge the limit just this once!

Su Mo forcefully pulled out the keyboard, placed his hands on it, his gaze like an arrow, as if to penetrate the empty password box.

Super memory ability, activate!

…

Blade Hunter kicked aside Sun Min’s mangled corpse, surveying the blood-soaked ground around, admiring his handiwork.

Just then, the gigantic mecha wreckage in the distance suddenly started to shake.

“Tssss—” The mecha’s vent port released depressurized air, the cockpit panel was kicked open, and a blood-soaked petite figure staggered out.

Blade Hunter’s vicious eyes narrowed slightly: “Oh? Didn’t manage to kill you.”

Dongdong struggled to her feet using the mecha’s outer shell for support, a ghastly gash on her left side, clearly from a previous tail-sting wound, flesh torn and bleeding profusely, a pale rib faintly visible.

“Huff…huff…” She panted heavily, tearing a large strip of cloth from her clothing, tightly wrapping it around her waist to prevent further blood loss.

Blade Hunter glanced at the mecha, then at Dongdong, saying with interest, “It’s been years since I’ve seen mechas, let alone people capable of piloting them. Your body’s endurance is quite impressive.”

“Kid, why not work for the Black Domain Group? We could prepare a good prosthetic for you; isn’t that much better than being a mercenary following others around?”

Dongdong said nothing, merely clutching the bleeding wound tightly, staggering toward the corner where she picked up the Dragon Steel Baseball Bat that Su Mo had given her with her bloodied little hands.
