Rescue Operation

After a brief halftime break, reforming their ranks and adjusting tactics, Li Fan felt ready to fight again!

Of course, with the Security Bureau, the Company, and Li Fan himself — all mutually hostile, harboring their own agendas, and plotting in secret — an alliance formed on lies would find it quite fantastical to defeat the Xiantong.

After all, the Security Bureau wanted to rescue someone, the Company wanted to cover its tracks, and Li Fan wanted to search for Qiongqi. If Xiantong hadn't meddled so absurdly, they would have already been fighting amongst themselves, with no one caring about his survival. But now, they couldn't bypass this lunatic.

Li Fan hadn't held high hopes of defeating Xiantong anyway. What he needed now wasn't combat power, but time.

This was because the Mood System had also studied Li Fan's chip logs. Their conclusion from the brief contact and analysis was that there was a fifty percent chance Qiongqi had been quantum-folded, trans-dimensionally projected, and imprisoned in a high-dimensional membrane prison.

In other words, Qiongqi was now in a similar situation to Canglong back then, having been thrown beyond the detectable range of the multiverse...

However, the good news was that unlike Canglong, who was lost somewhere unknown, once the support equipment arrived, the Third Division still had a way to retrieve Qiongqi and surgically transform him into an ionic chip.

Yes, the can-like device they carried was a dimensional signal marker and restraint device, or in other words, the 'key to the prison'. It functioned similarly to the candle holders of the Moth Civilization.

In principle, the can contained a portion of Qiongqi's quantum wave-stringed body as a signal beacon. This allowed them to locate and retrieve Qiongqi through quantum entanglement, even if his main body was thrown anywhere.

But
