Precious Samples, Conflict Loop

"Harmonic Rhythm Resonant Lament Waves! Myriad Faces mimetic information-fragment signature! Radiance defines us as 'harmless derivatives of rule information'! Prototype, cover our passage!"

At Lin Ye's command, the squad instantly transformed into blurred streams of light.

Harmonic Leaptone adjusted the squad's existence harmonics until they nearly perfectly matched the "Rules' Lament." Myriad Faces disguised them as a larger "information fragment" struggling to break free of its restraints.

Radiant Stilllight burned the Authority of Order to impose a temporary "definition deflection" upon the squad. Meanwhile, Prototype released a gentle radiance that embraced all things, enveloping everyone. This radiance cleverly resonated with the "sorrow" and "unwillingness" contained within the lament, making it seem as though they had always been part of it.

The stream of light struck precisely at the center of the rippling waves!

There was no violent impact, only the sluggish resistance of passing through viscous gel. The pale golden barrier's light flowed over their "bodies" in verification. It seemed somewhat puzzled, but under the combined effects of the lament waves, mimicry, definition deflection, and Prototype's resonance, it ultimately "permitted" this "infiltration."

Like a drop of water merging into an upstream-flowing brook, Arrowhead Squad silently passed through the Absolute Isolation Barrier and entered this temporarily "out-of-control" Blueprint Projection Forbidden Zone.

Their feet touched the ground.

The sight before them differed from what they had observed outside the barrier.

Without the powerful support of its central light source, the rule network resembled a precise city model after a blackout. Most areas were dim and lightless, while only a few nodes flickered with faint, unstable light due to lingering internal logic embers or the premature infiltration of external purification power.

Tiny, ash-like "rule remnants" drifted through the air, along with silent, destructive "Purification Preview Flows" that streaked past—preliminary cleanup carried out by
