Chapter 673 Blade of Judgment
The ISA hearing room was deathly silent.
Lin Chuyue's words, "I am the skeleton of your system," seemed to shatter all doubts and drop a bombshell on the hearts of many high-ranking officials.
This statement is too shocking.
If what she said is true, then not only is the accusation of "illegal intruder" untenable, but it also completely overturns the legitimacy of the "candidate" system that ISA has maintained for decades.
—Because all systems are built on the basis of “ISA system independence”.
And she is the "Originator".
This means that she doesn't need permission; she is the "permission" herself.
Executive Committee Chairman Li Jinzhi frowned deeply and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have evidence?"
Lin Chuyue calmly placed a palm-sized silver device on the table—this was ISA's "residual bone key" left behind in her early years.
Li Zhanchuan stepped forward and entered a pre-prepared decoding command on the system screen.
The next second, a video slowly unfolded on the screen—
The image shows the initial setup of ISA in 1999, with a group of scientists conducting access tests for the first "Originators".
The camera panned across dozens of incubation chambers, and inside the chamber numbered "B-01" lay the baby—Lin Chuyue.
“Back then, ISA launched the ‘Skeleton Access Protocol’ and recorded three infant samples, namely B-01, B-02 and B-03.”
“B-01 has the highest genetic purity and compatibility, and is therefore reserved as the system’s ‘anchor core’.”
"This footage was never made available to any of the later replacement candidates."
"The reason is simple—this is not the bloodline you should inherit."
Lin Chuyue's tone was calm, yet every word was sharp.
None of the high-ranking officials in the audience responded for a moment.
"If she really is 'B-01,' then that means..."
"She is the original controller of the system."
"And all the permission chains we've connected to over the years are essentially... dependent on her existence."
One committee member exclaimed in a low voice.
"So she wasn't pretending, but rather she was erased."
"The system remembers her, but people have forgotten her."
Who erased her?
?
Li Jinzhi's gaze gradually turned cold.
"But you still haven't explained whether the ISA South District explosion was related to you."
He changed his approach to pressure Lin Chuyue: "No matter who you are, ISA will not tolerate chaos."
"If you try to use your identity to evade responsibility, you will only provoke a stronger backlash."
Lin Chuyue said calmly, "I am not shirking responsibility—I only ask for a reasonable investigation procedure."
"Instead of prematurely labeling me a sinner."
“I am willing to accept a full investigation and am also willing to activate the ‘Brainwave Truth Protocol’ on the spot.”
An uproar erupted in the hearing room.
The Brainwave Mantra Protocol is the highest level of self-proof protocol in ISA.
It directly connects a person's subconscious with the logical judgment module in the database. Once a lie is told, the collision between brainwaves and word meanings will immediately reveal the flaw.
Once activated, this protocol will permanently store the records and cannot be destroyed.
This is equivalent to Lin Chuyue using all her memories to sign and seal the truth.
Even Chen Yuyao wouldn't dare to use such courage so easily.
Just then, an emergency report came through ISA's internal communication system:
"Su Han has been detained and is currently in the interrogation room awaiting simultaneous brainwave recording."
Lin Chuyue frowned: "I need to see her."
?
The ISA interrogation building, basement level.
Su Han was covered in wounds, and gunpowder residue remained on her face. When she saw Lin Chuyue, her eyes suddenly reddened.
"I was too careless and fell into the trap."
“Last night I received a ‘Level 0 Execution Task’ from your encrypted channel, asking me to pick up a project file.”
"But when I got there, the bomb was already embedded in the file box, and I didn't even have time to unpack it."
Lin Chuyue bit her lower lip, her voice almost trembling:
"Whose fingerprints were used to sign that order?"
Su Han nodded painfully: "I checked, it's 'your' high-level authorization command."
“But I should have been wary because you never use this instruction chain.”
Lin Chuyue's heart sank.
Someone has impersonated her access privileges.
Worse still, she had previously synced all her permissions with the ISA host, so now, if the other party is willing to falsify information, it's almost impossible for her to prove anything.
Who sent that fake document?
"Can you find it?"
Su Han hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered a name—
"Lu Qing."
Lin Chuyue's pupils trembled slightly.
"you sure?"
"It's Lu Qing, the 'secondary command layer' of the ISA communications development group."
Su Han nodded: "He has enough authority to construct all of this."
"I suspect he has a relationship with Chen Yulan."
?
As Lin Chuyue left the interrogation room, she bumped into Chen Yuyao.
The other person was dressed in a clean and crisp white uniform, with a perfectly measured expression of compassion on their face.
"You're so pathetic. You didn't want to be a victim, but you still ended up standing at the starting point of the explosion."
Lin Chuyue looked at her coldly: "You're quite the actress."
"But don't forget, we share half the same blood."
"If you can do it, I might be able to as well."
Chen Yuyao's expression suddenly changed. She took a step closer and whispered in her ear:
Do you think I want you dead?
No, I want you to live.
"To live, to watch everyone turn away from you, to see all power slip through your fingers."
"I want you to destroy yourself."
Lin Chuyue's face remained expressionless.
Unfortunately, I will not do as you wish.
"You think this game is my end point alone?"
She turned around, her eyes sharp: "You're wrong."
"Your trial has just begun."
?
Two hours later, the hearing officially resumed.
Su Han and Lin Chuyue underwent simultaneous brainwave interrogation in the same room, with the ISA technology room displaying the results on a large screen using a five-fold trust chain.
The truth is gradually being revealed:
1. Lin Chuyue's permissions were indeed cloned;
2. After receiving the instructions, Su Han did not confirm with Lin Chuyue again, but acted according to the "high priority";
3. Lu Qing's forged signatures were very well hidden, but with the help of the ISA engineering team, his records of impersonating permissions over the past six months were found.
Final conclusion: Lin Chuyue was not involved in the explosion.
However, the shadow of this explosion has already taken its most terrifying step:
—It undermined her "absolute trust" within ISA.
Although she is innocent, she is no longer the only one.
At the end of the hearing, the Executive Committee announced that Lin Chuyue was not considered a traitor, but her powers would be suspended for 90 days.
Chen Yuyao was granted the position of "ISA Agent Mediator" and has the authority to independently manage the neutral advancement of the candidate's proposal.
Lin Chuyue witnessed the entire process from the stage without saying a word.
But everyone could sense the growing coldness and silence emanating from her.
That's not a compromise.
It is poised to launch.
She lowered her head, and a slight smile slowly curved her lips.
The truth may be suppressed for a time, but the trial will never stop.
They thought she was the one being sentenced.
Little did they know, Lin Chuyue had already dug her own grave for the entire ISA.
