At this moment, the edge of this "sea" was no longer clear. Countless shifting mirror images began to overlap, distort, and even devour one another. A kind of "self-doubt" and "definitional confusion" originating from the foundations of existence spread through their collective consciousness like a plague.
Lin Ye's consciousness, like the most precise probe, hovered beyond the Sea of Mirrors. He did not enter directly. Instead, he used the power of "Observance" to construct a temporary "experimental sandbox" in a higher dimension—a closed high-dimensional model that projected portions of the target region's thoughtscape parameters, Entropy-Silent Darkside activity data, and network defense protocols into itself.
"Sandbox construction complete. Mapping accuracy: 87.3%. Safe simulation may proceed," Xuxi's coordinator reported. Even if operations within this sandbox failed, their impact on the real Many-Faced Shapeshifter Tribe would be minimized, while also providing data for actual intervention.
"Begin Phase One: localized activity suppression test," Lin Ye ordered.
Radiant Stilllight guided a highly concentrated force containing the composite concepts of "order anchoring" and "existence blessing." Following the predetermined algorithm, it precisely struck several "Entropy-Silent Darkside activity anomaly nodes" marked within the sandbox model. On the thoughtscape level, these nodes manifested as several "gloomy vortices" that continuously devoured color and information.
The suppressive force was like a beam of light cast into an abyss. At first, the expansion of the target vortices visibly slowed, and they even contracted slightly. Sandbox data showed that the blurring process of the Many-Faced Shapeshifter Tribe's thoughtscape within the model had likewise slowed.
"Effective!" A trace of excitement rang through Harmonic Leaptone's music.
However, the improvement did not last. About three seconds later, the suppressed nodes were not "healed," but instead underwent a bizarre "transfer" and "spread"! More and smaller dark ripples spontaneously surged from the underlying structure of the Thought Sea
