Conceptual Camouflage and the Spacetime Reef

In the Concept Furnace's deep isolation zone, a silent farewell was underway.

Only Lin Ye, Radiant Stilllight, Harmonic Leaptone, and three "artifacts" floating in the air were present.

The first was the Many-Faced Shapeshifter Tribe's condensed [Myriad Mirror Core: Provisional Form]—a mass of luminous mist with ever-changing textures, capable of unfolding into a "Full-Spectrum Perception Filter."

The second was the [Logic Clone: Silent Type] separated by coordinator Xuxi—a multifaceted crystal carrying thirty percent of her real-time computing power.

The third was the [Myriad Phenomena Epic: Prototype — Stealth Mode], which had undergone twenty-seven iterations. Compressed to the size of a fist, it possessed a neutral hue that was "neither black nor white," like a "conceptual hole" from which any observation naturally slipped away.

"Final round of testing for the Conceptual Concealment Field," Radiant Stilllight said.

Harmonic Leaptone released probing harmonics that covered seventeen layers. The waves swept across the team: the Mirror Core simulated background radiation, the logic clone remained as silent as a stone, while the location of the Prototype was nothing but Void. Even Lin Ye's sense of presence was drastically diminished.

"Scan result: no anomalies detected. Concealment approved," Harmonic Leaptone reported.

Lin Ye sensed the invisible links connecting him to the three artifacts. Under the Prototype's cover, they formed a precise "Conceptual Symbiote."

"Emergency conversion test."

The silence dispersed, and the Prototype's radiance suddenly blossomed. A stabilizing field instantly spread over the area. The Mirror Core simultaneously shifted into a defensive posture.

"Conversion delay: 0.003 seconds. Stabilizing field strength meets requirements," Radiant Stilllight recorded.

"That will do." Lin Ye reined in his power. "During the infiltration, do not lift the concealment unless it is a matter of life or death. Our objective is to observe, record, and bring back information."

Radiant Stilllight handed him three Order Crystals.
