Data Heartbeat: Out-of-Control Code of the Cold-Blooded Heir

In "Skyreach City", a futuristic metropolis ruled by four major financial magnates, Lu Chenshen, a cold-blooded heir to one of the magnates, is implanted with the "Scarlet Code" by ...

Chapter 2 Scarlet Code

Like a ghost, this word burst into his mind without warning, catching him off guard. Like a flash of lightning, it pierced his previously calm sea of ​​consciousness, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

An indescribable restlessness welled up in his heart, as if countless ants were gnawing at his soul, making him restless. This restlessness did not come from external interference, but from a certain uneasiness and anxiety deep in his heart.

Along with the irritation, a strong urge burned in his body like wildfire. He wanted to destroy something, he couldn't explain what it was, but he felt a force driving him to destroy and vent.

This feeling was so strange, so abrupt, and completely beyond his comprehension. Yet, it was so real, so real that he couldn't ignore it.

He walked to the desk and picked up a crystal sculpture. It was the Tianshu Group logo carved from pure and flawless natural crystal, symbolizing absolute power and pure rationality.

“Crack.”

Without any warning, he applied a little force with his fingers, and the hard crystal sculpture shattered in his palm. The sharp edge scratched his skin, and bright red blood oozed out.

pain.

Another unfamiliar word.

What followed was a... strange pleasure?

Lu Cheneng stared blankly at the wound and blood on his palm.

The chip did not issue any warnings or initiate emergency analgesia procedures.

It seemed as if it had temporarily malfunctioned in this sudden "chaos".

For the first time, he discovered that blood is warm.

So this is what pain feels like.

"Fei..." He repeated the intruder's signature in a low voice.

This word was like a magical fuse. Once ignited, it was like detonating a long-dormant volcano within him. That volcano had been covered by the dust of the years, imprisoned by the seal of time, but now, because of this one word, it suddenly erupted.

He opened the encrypted communication channel and connected with the top leader of the Tianshu Group's intelligence department.

"Use all resources to find Fei for me. I want all her information, alive."

The voice was still cold, but those who knew him well might be able to hear that beneath the ice, there seemed to be a subtle...scorching heat.

He didn't know why he gave this order.

According to absolutely rational judgment, he should report this "chip abnormality" and undergo the most thorough inspection and repair.

But he didn't.

An unprecedented "curiosity" or "possessiveness" drove him to make this decision.

He wanted to know who was the person who could disrupt his entire world with the code at his fingertips.

He wanted to "capture" the burning crimson with his own hands.

As the night deepened, the light of Sky City remained undimmed.

Lu Chensheng stood in front of the window, letting the wound on his palm slowly solidify.

He knew that from the moment that crimson code invaded his system, his life and everything he believed in began to move towards an unknown and out-of-control track.

And in the shadow of this city, Wen Shifei also opened his eyes.

She knew that her "seed" had been planted.

Next, let's see how it blooms on that frozen land into flowers that will make the entire Sky City tremble.

A forbidden love that sweeps through a torrent of data, a dangerous game that challenges the icy rules, has begun.
