Deep within the Concept Furnace's isolation zone, a silent farewell was underway.
Only Lin Ye, Radiant Stilllight, Harmonic Leaping Note, and three "artifacts" suspended in the air were present.
The first was the [Myriad Forms Mirror Core: Provisional Form], condensed by the Many-Faced Illusion Clan-a mass of luminous mist whose texture constantly shifted, capable of unfolding into a "Full-Spectrum Perception Filter."
The second was the [Logic Avatar: Silent Type], separated from the coordinator of Order's Dawn-a multifaceted crystal carrying thirty percent of her real-time computing power.
The third was the [Myriad Forms Epic: Prototype-Stealth Mode], which had undergone twenty-seven iterations. Compressed to the size of a fist, it displayed a neutral hue that was "neither black nor white," like a "conceptual hole" off which any observation naturally slid.
"Conceptual Concealment Field test, final round," Radiant Stilllight said.
Harmonic Leaping Note released probing harmonics across seventeen layers. They swept over the team: the Mirror Core simulated background radiation, the Logic Doppelganger remained as silent as stone, and the Prototype's location was a blank expanse of nothingness. Even Lin Ye's presence faded sharply.
"Scan result: no anomalies detected. Concealment passed," Harmonic Leaping Note reported.
Lin Ye sensed his intangible links with the three. Beneath the Prototype's coverage, they formed a precise "conceptual symbiote."
"Emergency transition test."
The silence dissolved. The Prototype's light burst forth, and a Definition Stabilization Field instantly enveloped them. The Mirror Core simultaneously shifted into a defensive posture.
"Transition delay: zero point zero zero three seconds. Stabilization field strength meets requirements," Radiant Stilllight recorded.
"That will do." Lin Ye reined in his power. "During infiltration, we do not drop concealment unless our lives are at stake. Our objective is to observe, record, and bring back information."
Radiant Stilllight handed him three Order Crystals. "Order anchor points of the highest
