**Key Locations**
**Former Site of Ren'ai Hospital**
An abandoned building aboveground, with a century-spanning genetic laboratory hidden below. Time-space distortions exist in the electrical room, and the fourth-floor ward offers a view of parallel worlds.
**Convenience Store (Spacetime Node Alpha)**
A quantum anomaly zone where products on the shelves are constantly collapsing and reforming. The refrigerated cases connect to a core-dwelling insect pupa, and the checkout counter is a multidimensional communications hub.
**Air-Raid Shelter Laboratory**
A secret base beneath a camellia tree, hiding a cryogenic coffin containing a clone and a prototype antimemetic weapon. A gravitational-wave emitter with a self-destruct program is buried beneath the floor tiles.
**Lunar Amber Forest**
A physical manifestation of the mother entity's consciousness of remorse. The tree rings store the purified memories of civilizations, and the roots reach directly into the cosmic sea of creation.
Key Items
X-23 Original Solution
The first-generation genetic agent can induce mutations in Lepidoptera. It was later discovered to be a civilizational antibody written by Lin Yuan. Exposure to ultraviolet light causes it to degrade into an antimemetic carrier.
Amber Pendant
Lin Qian's spacetime beacon, engraved on the inside with the parameters of the Drake equation. In a quantum state, it can unfold into a four-dimensional star chart and store the coordinates of the mother entity's core.
Antimemetic Weapon
A self-referential logic virus shaped like a camellia cocoon. It destroys the mother entity by contaminating cognitive blind spots. Its side effect is permanent memory reconstruction.
Photon Ark
An interstellar vessel carrying the seeds of a new civilization, with a hull made of quantum roses. Its navigation system runs on Lin Yuan's brain waves and can absorb dark matter to repair itself.
