Good Night: You all got puppets? Why did I get a tomboy in a white suit?

Given the therapeutic efficacy of "Loquat Candy," minor injuries and overexertion should be quickly treated and the patient should recover fully.

However, the Order that the three people resting in the car still have obvious unhealed injuries suggests that...

Firstly, treating the injuries caused by the failure to contain the Authority of "Benevolent King," a being with a near- Deity status, in the Shenzhen was indeed a huge drain on "Loquat Candy," preventing him from recovering to a state where he could fully heal.

Secondly...

"Dionysus", "Ren Gu" and "Paper Kite" were probably seriously injured not long ago.

The phrase "Xiao Nian" also confirms this.

"During the communication disruption... it wasn't just 'Good Night' who encountered trouble; we all faced varying degrees of difficulty."

"I encountered a Puppet on the Rooftop —though it didn't engage me in much combat, and it didn't even feel like an 'attack,' at most it just provoked and hindered me, but it was certainly an annoying and mysterious opponent."

"The others were clearly also affected by the same organization's sabotage... and they were obviously less fortunate than us."

Hearing the conversation between "Good Night" and "Xiao Nian", Loquat Candy, whose dark circles had deepened, rubbed the bridge of her nose and let out a helpless sigh.

"None of these three guys deserve sympathy... Comrade Yin Lan, despite having the option to retreat, believed she could catch the guy who provoked her, so she chased him into the Divine Power Tower, where she was ambushed by the Divine Power Tower's Security Department and the guy who provoked her..."

Yin Lan, who had been resting with her eyes closed as if asleep, opened them. "Wow, doctor, don't make me sound so disorganized and Discipline... The moment the communication was cut off, I was going to go to the Rooftop to meet up with Comrade Xiao Nian, but then this Puppet appeared and insisted that 'you'd actually benefit the most by staying where you are.' How could I stand for that? I definitely had to catch this pretentious guy—I think my judgment was right!"

Loquat Candy looked at Yin Lan: "Oh, so you chose to kick open the Security Department door inside the building and trigger Red Alert, right? -- You even chose the door closest to the elite mobile riot police unit. You really went for the elite! Commendable courage, I'll write a report and have 'Professor' commend you."

Yin Lan shrank back, knowing she was in the wrong. "Don't say that, Doctor Tang, how was I supposed to know that Puppet could make those Security Department guys ignore it..."

Xiao Nian began, "'Alchemy Detection Interference Device'... That Puppet is an Alchemy master. Whether they're from the company or Noble, he's well-versed in the operating principles of Alchemy Component —the elite security personnel of the Divine Power Group are highly modified armed combat personnel. Their vision and perception rely almost entirely on prosthetics like Prosthetic Eye. It's entirely possible for those Security Department personnel to ignore it and only see you, the intruder, attacking the air as if you're going mad."

"However... Comrade Dionysus, I'm curious, even with the Security Department's elite forces deployed and you not in good condition, you shouldn't have suffered such serious injuries, right? You should at least have been able to escape unscathed, shouldn't you?"

Yin Lan remained silent, while Loquat Candy pointed to "Paper Kite," whose head was wrapped up so that only one left eye was visible.

"Then you should definitely see what this righteous hero, the Revenge of the City That Never Sleeps, did—first, he wasn't attacked by the Puppet, and second... he even started chatting and cooperating with the Puppet that found him."

The Paper Kite's voice came through the bandages, muffled. "Because that Puppet said it was Commoner had been resisting the Divine Power Group all along, so it wanted to talk to us, who could also infiltrate the Divine Power Group building... Then, it showed me some 'evidence'—evidence of heinous crimes committed by the Divine Power Group's top brass."

Good Night sighed, "Xi Ba, it's not that Paper Kite acted impulsively, it was too targeted... Comrade Paper Kite was set up."

"Comrade Qi Han, please don't use the term 'high-ranking official of Divine Power Group,' okay?" Loquat Candy said quietly. "It's 'Eris Mercury,' the current powerful young figure in the Mercury Family and the Headquarters of the Tactical Equipment R&D Department of Divine Power Group."

"Under the Puppet's instigation Eris, Comrade Qi Han chose to storm Eris Mercury's office alone in an attempt to execute Mercury. He even moved all the explosives originally intended to attract attention outside the office to detonate them—but clearly, this level of explosion would not create a sufficiently large 'first-strike advantage' in an attack on Eris Mercury."

"Moreover, besides Eris Mercury, Qiu Xinli, the Blade Holder of the Autumn Family, was also in the office at the time."

"Two of the most capable young men from the two Royal Nobles of the Divine Power Group were attacked by Assassin on their own territory, and a hole was blown in their office floor... Comrade Qi Han, you're not speaking as a martyr now. It's all thanks to someone who took Qiu Xinli's knife three months ago, and Eris Mercury's equipment is all being maintained in the equipment department."

Paper Kite whispered, "I know it's a bit dangerous and reckless... but Eris Mercury is just too hateful. He not only kills indiscriminately, but often he tortures people!"

Loquat Candy looked at Paper Kite and said, "So, you've forgotten about the other comrades who are on a secret mission?"

Paper Kite shook her head. "No, I just felt... anyway, my mission is to create chaos, and assassinating Royal Nobles is the same."

"And then you put yourself in danger Yin Lan, got seriously injured, and even had to break both of your arms to save you?"

Upon hearing this, Paper Kite lowered her head. "... I did act impulsively. I'm sorry, I will reflect on my actions."

Yin Lan, on the contrary, tried to smooth things over for Paper Kite: "It's alright. To be honest, after I caused such a commotion at the Security Department... it's probably only a matter of time before Eris Mercury and Qiu Xinli come to me. You even took a few shots for me, which was quite crucial."

Loquat Candy looked at Yin Lan: "Comrade Yin Lan, don't think that just because Comrade Qi Han's matter is bigger, your matter can be overlooked."

Yin Lan raised her bandaged hands. "I was wrong, Teacher Tang, I really know I was wrong."

"Hey, Xi Ba, what's wrong with Ren Gu? Comrade Ren Gu is so steady and he's always with you, how come he looks like he's about to pass away!"

Good Night looked at Ren Gu lying on the bed, then looked at Loquat Candy and asked.

Loquat Candy glanced at Ren Gu, Ren Gu put down his orange-flavored drink and sighed.

"Let me tell you... I was definitely wrong about this."

"There was this Puppet lying on the hood of my car and Loquat Candy's car, saying things like, 'I hope to cooperate with your " Order "...' Then I realized that this guy was an Alchemical Creation, so I thought of playing a trick on him."

"Then, I wasn't thinking clearly at the time and forgot that I was in the Inner City the City That Never Sleeps, downstairs from the Divine Power Group building."

"So I used Rule Code to create a Rule covering an area with a diameter of 150 meters: 'Alchemy Energy flow is not allowed in this area.'"

Loquat Candy sighed, "Then, more than 3,640 Alchemical Creation within a radius of 150 meters came to a standstill. Including the Vehicles we were riding in, there were about 82 large Alchemical Creation resembling Alchemy Vehicle. At the same time, above our heads was a huge advertising screen containing tens of thousands of Alchemy Imaging Component, and below us were about dozens of Alchemy Pipelines supplying the entire alchemical building."

As Loquat Candy spoke, she looked towards Ren Gu.

"I really admire you, Comrade Ren Gu... After so many years as partners, I have indeed witnessed your continuous progress."

"Under normal circumstances, a few years ago, you probably wouldn't have had a chance of surviving such Backlash."

"But this time... you only fainted and had most of your energy drained, which actually gave me a few seconds of buffer time to help you—you've really grown and improved a lot, Director Ren."

As Loquat Candy spoke, she clapped softly.

"I hope your intelligence and judgment can improve after this."

Ren Gu sighed helplessly.

"I just haven't used my abilities in the Barren Realm for too long."

Ren Gu said, then paused and added.

"However... at least we've confirmed that the Puppet wasn't just powered by 'Alchemy Energy' —after all, even after I gave it those Rule, it still ran away and vanished without a trace."

"Therefore, I don't think Comrade Xiao Nian's judgment is entirely accurate—the person behind that Puppet might not actually be some Alchemy master Native from the City That Never Sleeps."

"Whether it's a 'Player,' Previous Generation 'Player,' or someone who learned some extraordinary technology from Other Worlds from 'Player'... or even someone who obtained related [Item] from Other Worlds from the Gate of Boundary, that guy's Puppet, beneath its Alchemical Creation, also hides extraordinary technology from Other Worlds and a complete set of backup energy from some unknown world."

As Ren Gu spoke, Xiao Nian frowned slightly.

"Really? And other extraordinary technologies from Other Worlds... To be honest, I sometimes feel that the Puppet's speech doesn't quite sound like that of a Native, because of its way of addressing people... I have a feeling it actually knows a lot about our 'Order'..."

Listening to Xiao Nian and Ren Gu's analysis, Good Night blinked.

"Uh... Xi Ba, from what you guys are saying, it seems you've all encountered a Puppet, so you're investigating the mastermind behind this Puppet, right Xi Ba?"

Good Night spoke, Xiao Nian and Ren Gu both looked at him.

"What are your thoughts, Comrade Good Night?"

"Yes... because the Xi Ba I met wasn't Puppet at all, it was a person."

Good Night spoke, sharing his observations and experiences.

"He claims to be the Creator!"
