Chapter 576: The Klein Bottle of the Defector

When Ao Li's mechanical dragon claw pierced the Klein bottle console, the entire four-dimensional space suddenly emitted a muffled sound like the writhing of internal organs. Lin Jin's quantum blade had just severed the first causal chain when he saw bronze-colored blood flowers burst from Su Yaoji's collarbone—those splashing blood beads congealed in mid-air into a miniature armillary sphere, each gear meshing with memory fragments of their first meeting.

"Zhen Palace, third quarter; Li Fire burns the body!" Su Yaoji's hairpin drew bloody hexagrams in the void, but they were bounced back by the walls of the Klein bottle. The tip of the hairpin pierced her own palm, and the moment the Star Marrow energy surged, the three of them saw ten thousand overlapping laboratories appear on the bottle walls—in every scene, Ao Li was dismantling her own mechanical parts, while Lin Jin's quantum blade forever pierced different internal organs of Su Yaoji.

Seven data cables suddenly burst from Ao Li's spine, their ends connecting to the core algorithm of the Klein bottle. When she tore off the third nerve pipeline, Su Yaoji's right lung lobe suddenly became transparent, revealing a pulsing Λ crystal inside. "Stop!" Lin Jin's black blood saber slashed toward the cables, but the blade was jammed by Su Yaoji's ribs—the death prophecies of the *Tuibei Tu* were emerging on the surface of those bones.

"We are in the dragon clan's sand table..." Ao Li's mechanical pupils split, revealing a Klein bottle embryo hidden behind her irises. Her vocal cords were polluted by the algorithm, and the words she spat out transformed into physical chains that entangled Lin Jin's neck: "Every escape is just falling deeper into the bottom of the bottle..."

The four-dimensional space began to undergo topological distortion. Su Yaoji's wedding dress suddenly reappeared, the star map on the hem automatically updating to a self-destruct program countdown. When Lin Jin severed the seventh causal chain, a penetrating wound appeared where her liver should be, and what flowed out was not blood but liquid Buddhist scriptures—those *Diamond Sutra* characters grew into mechanical Bodhi trees the moment they hit the ground, their roots piercing the Klein bottle walls to reveal the terrifying truth outside: countless identical Klein bottles were arranged in the void, and from the mouth of each bottle, the arms of the three of them were reaching out, struggling.

The moment Ao Li forcibly separated the logic circuits, her mechanical left arm suddenly quantized. Encrypted memories emerged in the drifting data stream: during the Mars Buddha Wheel incident three hundred years ago, when she personally pushed Su Yaoji into the Λ crystal pod, the number on the pod's surface was exactly "9526." And at this moment, the label at the mouth of the Klein bottle glowed with blood-red light, and Su Yaoji's gene map was faintly visible beneath the number "9527."

"So we are all iterations..." Lin Jin's quantum blade suddenly reversed direction and stabbed into his own heart. The gushing black blood painted the star map of the dragon clan observation station in the air, and the lines connecting the constellations were clearly the topological structure of a Klein bottle. In agony, Su Yaoji grabbed a fragment of the splashing Λ crystal and suddenly received a memory pulse from the First Generation experimental subject—on a rainy night twenty thousand years ago, Ao Li clone number 0001 was using mechanical claws to dissect her own chest, taking out the prototype of Su Yaoji in her embryonic state.

The Klein bottle suddenly contracted into a Möbius ring. Ao Li's remaining mechanical parts began to grow in reverse, lubricant smelling of wedding music seeping from between the gears. When Lin Jin severed the last causal chain, a perfect circular penetrating wound appeared where Su Yaoji's heart should be, and the Udumbara pattern at the edge of the wound automatically continued to write the final chapter of the *Nirvana Sutra*—that was the formatting code for all experimental subjects.

"Welcome to witness the ultimate version." The label suddenly extended neural cables to entangle the three of them. Ao Li's quantized remains began to reorganize, revealing the terrifying structure hidden in her mechanical spine: the miniature brains of seventy thousand Su Yaoji clones were performing parallel computing through Λ crystal circuits. Lin Jin's black blood boiled at this moment, and he saw clearly that curled up in every blood cell was a miniature version of himself and Su Yaoji holding a wedding.

When the Klein bottle completely collapsed, the brand of the First Generation Observer lit up in the depths of Su Yaoji's pupils. Her wedding dress dissipated into stardust, and tattoo numbers of twenty thousand experiments appeared on her bare skin—and Ao Li's remaining mechanical finger was gently pressing on the freshest "9527" mark, as if pressing the final confirmation key for the destruction program... ===== CHAPTER 577 =====
