The shadow vanished completely.
Lin Ye's consciousness returned to the hub, and he immediately shared the details of the exchange, along with the coordinates and conditions he had obtained, with the core members.
"Very much in keeping with the Shadow of Paradox's style," Radiant Stilllight remarked. "Providing information that is true but full of traps, valuable but accompanied by enormous risks, driving events toward greater complexity and contradiction."
"Preliminary scans of the coordinates for that 'Decaying Relay Station' place it deep within a known Spacetime Turbulence Zone. The external conditions are harsh, but we did detect extremely faint information traces inside bearing the 'Archivist's' signature," the Order's Dawn coordinator reported the results of the rapid analysis. "Its authenticity requires further reconnaissance, but it is worth investigating."
"As for the conditions that trigger the 'Eraser'..." Harmonic Leaping Note mused. "If they are accurate, our previous efforts against the 'Brush' and our elimination of the Mimics may already have accumulated a certain 'risk score.' In particular, could the prototype's widespread use be classified as 'large-scale conceptual dissemination' or 'deep interference with rules'?"
"That possibility exists." Lin Ye nodded. "That makes it all the more important for us to understand the assessment criteria used by the 'Archivist' and the 'blueprint.' This 'Observation Point' carries great risks, but it may be our only chance right now to peer into the enemy's core with relative safety."
"You've decided to go?" Radiant Stilllight looked at Lin Ye.
"Not yet." Lin Ye shook his head. "We need to prepare more thoroughly. First, verify that the coordinates are genuine and the site is accessible, then draw up detailed reconnaissance and withdrawal plans. Second, further enhance the prototype's capabilities, particularly its 'conceptual concealment' and 'information camouflage' under extreme conditions. Third, strengthen the network's own concealment and resilience. If our
