The executor's underlying logic loophole, the Management Committee director's action
The blood-red alarm frame, like a window to Hell, silently floats in the center of the main screen.
The cold, impersonal system text, without flickering or sound, simply announced the impending crisis in a factual tone.
"Warning: Hostile target has completed reverse beacon lock using our 'forced removal' energy beam."
"Local coordinates: White Bone Hall, Director's Office."
The office was quiet.
The Technician rushed in to report froze on the spot, his face drained of all color. His mouth was open, making gurgling sounds in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word. Fear, like an invisible hand, gripped his vocal cords.
Lynn's gaze shifted from the line of text to a corner of the surveillance screen.
In the scene, the intruder codenamed "Scarlet" experienced violent fluctuations in her body's data model after being penetrated by energy, but she did not collapse. Her movement pattern, from beginning to end, exuded a kind of reckless rigidity. There was no evasion, no defense, only the most primitive and direct charge.
Like a program that, once a finish line is set, ignores all obstacles.
A biological weapon without autonomous political will.
Lynn tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.
The communication system in the office, specifically the encrypted channel representing the Director of the Stability Maintenance Office, lit up automatically.
Hela's Holographic Projection appeared beside Lynn's desk. She wasn't wearing her elaborate armor, but rather a smart black uniform from the Stability Maintenance Office, yet her chilling aura remained undiminished.
"Director, your physical coordinates have been locked."
Her voice was devoid of emotion, as if she were reporting on something that had nothing to do with her.
"I suggest that the Stability Maintenance Office immediately activate the ' Divine Retribution ' Contingency Plan, and before the target enters the security perimeter of the White Bone Hall, conduct a saturation attack to annihilate it on the spot."
A glimmer of hope instantly ignited in the Technician's eyes.
Lynn's gaze remained fixed on the main screen. He watched the Scarlet figure swaying in the energy storm, yet never straying from its course.
"Annihilate?"
Lynn spoke, his tone flat.
"Director Hela, this entity is currently classified administratively as a 'high-risk biological sample illegally crossing the border.' Which department will be responsible for assessing and handling the energy spill and ecological pollution in the area resulting from its eradication? And which department will mediate any resulting cross- Dimension diplomatic disputes?"
Hela fell silent.
These issues are outside the scope of the Stability Maintenance Office's authority and responsibility.
"Illuminati wants isn't a victory, but an excuse for us to escalate the conflict first." Lynn's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to every corner of the office. "They sent us their strongest weapons, not to destroy us, but to make us break the rules in self-defense."
He looked at Hela.
"A brainwashed tool is not worth exchanging for the legal advantages of the entire Management Committee."
After speaking, Lynn turned to the Control Console on the desktop and brought up a new command interface.
"Director's Order."
Those two words made the Technician instinctively hold his breath.
"Immediately halt the 'forced removal' operation in C-9 Quadrant."
"The Department of Technology, in collaboration with the Stability Maintenance Office, has activated the 'Transdimensional Biological Quarantine and Emergency Evacuation Contingency Plan.'"
Lynn's voice became devoid of any emotion, as if she were reciting a standard operating procedure.
"Department of Technology, cease energy confrontation and switch to energy guidance. Minimize spatial resistance along the target entity's path and construct an unobstructed passage to the ' Fully Sealed Quarantine and Review Zone ' in C-9 Quadrant."
"The Stability Maintenance Office is responsible for sealing off all spatial nodes outside the quarantine zone and activating the ' Labyrinth ' protocol to ensure that once the target entity enters, it cannot perceive the physical coordinates outside the quarantine zone in any way."
"Don't fight head-on, go with the flow."
Lynn gave the final four-word instruction.
"Yes, Director." Hela's Holographic Projection nodded slightly and then disappeared.
The image on the home screen changed again.
The energy net that Technology Minister Wanda had set up to defend against the invasion vanished instantly. In its place came a much gentler, Chaos Energy, which, like an invisible stream, quietly spread out along the path of the invader "Scarlet."
The stream's direction points precisely into the depths of C-9 Quadrant.
After a brief pause, the Executive Officer codenamed "Scarlet" immediately followed his most basic operational logic—choosing the path of least energy resistance and moving towards the locked coordinates.
She was gently guided by that invisible stream, changing her course.
On the surveillance screen, the red dot representing the intruder traced a smooth arc in space before precisely plunging into a black area marked on the Star Map.
That's C-9 Quadrant, the Fully Sealed Quarantine and Review Zone.
The moment the red light disappeared, several black barriers constructed of Death Force closed in from all directions, completely sealing off the entire area.
Immediately afterwards, the spatial parameters within the isolation zone began to fold and twist in a disordered and chaotic manner.
From the outside, that area became an absolute "black box".
In the office, the Technician stared blankly at the Star Map that had returned to calm on the main screen, his forehead covered in cold sweat. A catastrophic disaster that could have leveled the White Bone Hall had been averted with just a few orders.
There was no gunfire, no fighting.
All that exists are cold, hard rules and absolute enforcement.
Lynn picked up the now-cold teacup and took a sip.
On the main screen, surveillance footage of the quarantine area was displayed.
In a white space composed entirely of data, the Executive Officer codenamed "Scarlet" stood bewildered. She seemed to have realized that all her connections with the outside world had been severed.
She tried to release Chaos Energy, but found that as soon as the energy left her body, it was absorbed and assimilated by this "conceptual Labyrinth" and could not cause any damage to the space.
She was trapped.
Lynn's gaze fell on the empty eyes of the "Scarlet" Executive Officer.
Just then, an abnormal fluctuation suddenly appeared in a secondary Data Stream of the monitoring system.
A line of small text is automatically generated in the corner of the screen.
"Non-command mental resonance detected in the target organism."
In the image, Wanda-838, who stood motionless like a doll, trembled almost imperceptibly.
A jumble of extremely chaotic Data Stream flashed in her unfocused eyes.
As if deep within her mind, besides the cold commands of the Illuminati, something sensed a familiar aura that transcended Dimension.
