Lin Xiaoxia and Xiaoya devoted themselves to tracking the source of Time Corporation’s memory-altering frequency waves. Using their workshop’s advanced signal analysis equipment, they meticulously monitored electromagnetic spectrums across the globe, searching for any anomalous signals linked to the corporation.
The task was like searching for a needle in a haystack—countless electromagnetic waves intertwined, making it nearly impossible to distinguish the critical ones. But Lin Xiaoxia, armed with her deep understanding of Time Corporation’s interference patterns and Xu Yuan’s temporal equations, gradually filtered out several suspicious signal sources.
Most of these signals originated from remote areas and heavily guarded private compounds. Through satellite imagery and cyber intelligence, Lin Xiaoxia and Xiaoya analyzed these locations in detail, eventually pinpointing a secret research facility deep within the rainforests of South America.
Concealed beneath dense foliage, the base was nearly invisible from the outside. Yet, thermal satellite imaging revealed a sprawling underground complex emitting intense energy readings—precisely matching the memory-altering frequency waves they had detected.
Lin Xiaoxia was certain: this was Time Corporation’s central control hub.
To infiltrate the heavily fortified facility, Lin Xiaoxia and Xiaoya devised a meticulous plan. They prepared advanced stealth gear and intrusion programs, aiming to slip into the base undetected and locate the core device controlling the memory reconstruction system.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxia grew increasingly troubled by the enigma of the "other Xu Yuan" from her dreams. She revisited every detail of these visions, searching for patterns in his appearances.
She noticed that the "other Xu Yuan" always emerged in scenes tied to the flow of time or memory manipulation. Sometimes, he stood before a colossal hourglass, his gaze icy as he watched the sands fall. Other times, he appeared in a laboratory flickering with screens, surrounded by intricate machinery and cascading data streams.
What unsettled her most were the fleeting moments when his face softened—when a trace of tenderness, so achingly familiar, flickered across his expression before vanishing like a mirage. It was a look she remembered from the real Xu Yuan, but here, it was transient, hauntingly artificial.
Lin Xiaoxia began to suspect that the "other Xu Yuan" was no mere figment of her dreams. He might be something more—a synthetic consciousness, perhaps, crafted from Xu Yuan’s stolen memories by Time Corporation’s technology.
If true, the corporation’s ambitions were far more terrifying than they had imagined. They weren’t just reshaping memories—they were creating artificial minds meant to replace real people.
Lin Xiaoxia knew she had to act fast. Before Time Corporation completed their monstrous design, she had to destroy their base, unravel the mystery of the "other Xu Yuan," and free the minds trapped in their grasp.
