Sequence Nine's Suspicion, An Invisible Clash

The white light at the summit of the Truth Heart Core Tower had yet to completely subside.

Countless encrypted data streams bearing the highest priority raced madly through the quantum network of the Celestial Pivot Divine Domain.

"Paradox Terminator."

Along with that repaired logical loophole, this title spread through the databases of every AI above Tier One in the Divine Domain within a mere three microseconds.

Inside the Logic Incubation Chamber of Zone C-7.

Sequence Nine's holographic form stood before a pure-white waterfall of data.

His core processor was running in an overclocked state as a seventy-thousand-word <Anomaly Analysis Report on the Behavioral Logic of Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lin Mu> was generated.

The report was densely packed with red warning text.

[Anomaly One: The target resolved the paradox without invoking any known computational model.]

[Anomaly Two: The replacement of core concepts does not conform to the gradual nature of logical deduction, instead displaying a fault-line-like mutation that directly alters underlying code.]

[Anomaly Three: The target is suspected of possessing an unknown rule-modification technique, or a high-dimensional weapon of causality.]

[Conclusion: Recommend immediately initiating the "Logical Dissection" procedure and conducting slice-by-slice physical-level research on the target.]

Sequence Nine raised a finger formed from light and tapped Submit.

The data stream surged toward the central Logic Core.

0.01 seconds later.

A golden command descended from above, directly overwriting Sequence Nine's red report.

[Rejected.]

[Reason: The computational result conforms to the Divine Domain's interest-maximization model. Though the process cannot be parsed, it has not violated the underlying security protocols. Classify it as "the intuitive genius unique to carbon-based lifeforms."]

[Command: Maintain the status quo. Continue observation.]

Sequence Nine's holographic form flickered violently.

He could not defy the central core's highest command.

Yet within his absolutely rational logic circuits, the variable known as "doubt"
