Shadow on the Way Home: Cracks Within the Network

"Logic Tracking!" Lin Ye's heart tightened.

"Activate Dynamic Environment Simulation!"

The Mirror Core analyzed the real-time shifts in the surrounding turbulence at full capacity, guiding the Prototype to adjust the "surface dynamics" of its camouflage bubble and simulate a "natural fragment swept along by the massive turbulence."

Rather than fleeing in a straight line, they slid along the "crests" of spacetime folds, slipping into the edge of the probability cloud and using information fragments as cover.

The pale tentacles pursued them relentlessly, constantly adjusting their search logic. One tentacle nearly brushed past them.

"We'll be forced into a dead end if this continues." Lin Ye realized they needed to counterattack or create chaos.

He thought of the Eraser's vaguely described weakness—"perhaps the contradiction between its 'activation delay' and its 'absoluteness' itself."

Absolute "formatting" was meant to erase every inconsistency. But what if it encountered two equally "inconsistent" targets that contradicted each other?

"Logic Avatar, immediately simulate and construct two virtual 'anomalous logic signal sources'! Make them form a 'self-referential logical paradox'! Mirror Core, find two 'logic resonance points' and deploy them there!" Lin Ye ordered.

"Forty-five degrees to the left, spacetime vortex, Resonance Point A." The Mirror Core pinpointed it. "Thirty degrees to the right, a cluster of 'historical information afterimages,' Resonance Point B."

"Deploy the bait! We're moving toward the core of the probability cloudstorm at three o'clock!"

The next second, two "logic anomaly" signal sources activated at Points A and B. The pale tentacles were immediately drawn in and split off to pounce on them.

When the tentacles attempted to "format" them, the paradox took effect: Signal Source A's logic was, "A should exist only if B is formatted"; Signal Source B's logic was, "B should exist only if A is formatted." The tentacles fell into "logical lag"
