The goldfish swam slowly in its spherical tank, as if drifting between wakefulness and dreams, it swam outside the tank and blew a bubble in front of Baili Qing. Then it quickly returned to the tank, while the bubble grew larger and larger until it became a translucent sphere about a meter in diameter, shining with a strange light. The sphere's surface showed a clear image. It was the entire process of the "attacker" appearing in the office. Compared to the uncontrolled bubbles that emerged in the office when the Containment Zone was in the "flooded" state earlier, the image projected by the goldfish was now much clearer and complete, revealing many previously unseen details. The goldfish then spit out another bubble, the image within was more dim and obscure, showing the edge of the Core Zone where a security team was engaged in a fierce firefight with unidentified enemies — their opponents were several tall and slender figures in black combat gear, moving swiftly like the wind, not only fully armed but seemingly using bizarre extraordinary skills. The attacker who had appeared in the director's office before was standing behind these tall and slender figures, clearly being protected. A distorted and blurred voice emerged from the image, seemingly the swollen and twisted-headed "attacker" speaking: "Don't kill them — if the security team dies, it will trigger a Core Zone burial... First, take me out of this place!" After that, the image in the bubble froze. Baili Qing raised her head and looked at the "director" standing in front of her. "This is all I saw," that tall humanoid shell slightly bowed, "After that, I completely lost control and couldn't see what happened next." Baili Qing didn't speak, she just turned her head to look at the two bubbles, and after pondering for a moment, broke the silence: "…It was agents of the Black Dot Group." She then raised her hand, pointing at the "attacker" in the office: "The one who attacked you was an Infiltrator of the Black Dot Group, likely he also served as the Inside Agent letting those agents into the sanatorium." "…Infiltrator?" The goldfish's voice was filled with astonishment, "But this person named Sun Chen, before being admitted, was just an Independent Investigator, he hadn't even left Boundary Land…" "He may have lived in the Boundary Land for half his life, but his mind might have left long ago — most Black Dot Group's Infiltrators don't even know they are 'Black Dot' employees until activated," Baili Qing calmly explained, "Infiltrators lurk in their own brains, just like parasites latch onto a host, which is why they're the most notorious infiltrators in the world." The goldfish was stunned for a moment; its fins were anxiously moving: "So... What should we do next? Those people might have already escaped, can they still be caught?" "They went through such lengths, even willing to expose an Infiltrator and a team of operatives, it's impossible they came just to break your fish tank," Baili Qing shook her head, having quickly thought of many things, "…These people are here for 'knowledge' buried deep within history, and there will certainly be more actions following." Then she paused briefly and suddenly spoke: "Where's 'Sun Chen's' body? The one with the exploded head." "It should still be in the morgue," the director quickly replied, "I just checked the access control; there's no signs of tampering in the morgue's security system." "Good, take me to see it," Baili Qing rose from her seat, "If the 'Sun Chen' who attacked you was a 'latent personality' separated from his body due to the realization of personality, his original nervous system might still have traces of 'guidance' left by the Black Dot Group." The director hastily followed while speaking: "…The head exploded, can there still be clues left?" Baili Qing turned back, the fading pupils reflecting the shadow of the goldfish: "No problem, as long as there was a head before it exploded, I can inspect his mind from yesterday." In a high-class apartment in the Boundary City Central District, Baili Qing stood before a large floor-to-ceiling window. The house was unlit; in the darkness, only the dim nightlight in the corner cast a faint glow. This made the city's night scene outside the window particularly vivid, with cars flowing like water, neon lights stretching endlessly, and the bustling noise of the metropolis maintained under the night's embrace, while the corrosion, pollution, oddities, and reshaping occurring beyond ordinary sight seemed as distant as another world. A pair of huge eyes silently floated on the floor-to-ceiling window, and Baili Xue's voice emerged: "What do you think the Black Dot Group is after? Could it be the 'Omen Goddess'?" "Very likely. After all, they are most interested in 'knowledge' and 'artifacts', and the words 'Sun Chen' said before attacking the goldfish revealed his superiors were at least targeting the secrets of that Tower — and that Tower is a crucial part of the 'Omen Goddess's' Descent," Baili Qing mused, "It's just that it's unclear how much they've actually learned…" "Sun Chen first encountered the 'Tower' three years ago, and there are clues indicating it was just an accident," Baili Xue said, "But it can't be ruled out that he was led by the Black Dot Group to contact that Tower — judging by the traces left on the corpse, his neural anomalies also began around three years ago." "Either the Black Dot Group led a gifted Independent Investigator to contact that 'Tower' three years ago, or an unlucky investigator inadvertently contacted the Tower and got mind-corrupted by the knowledge, subsequently drawing the attention of the Black Dot Group's 'Human Resources Commissioner', resulting in a tragic recruitment," Baili Qing speculated, letting out a soft sigh, "Anyway, it's another frustrating affair— it's really never a dull day." "Indeed, we never lack annoying issues," Baili Xue said leisurely, "…Then it's necessary to 'share' this troubling matter." Baili Qing raised her eyebrows, instantly understanding her sister's intention. She took out her phone and glanced at the nightscape outside. "I guess Yu Sheng isn't asleep yet." "...Why don't you wait another hour before calling?" Baili Xue suggested, "He'll definitely be asleep by then." "Childish rotten idea." Baili Qing commented lightly, then picked up her phone and began scrolling through her contacts... Meanwhile, Yu Sheng was in the attic at No. 66 Wutong Road, applying plaster to Erin's arm. —Previously, when pulling Zheng Zhi out of that bizarre space, Erin had exerted a lot of force. Given the urgency of the situation, she hadn't had time to carefully select her vessel, using a body that Yu Sheng had previously crafted out of lotus root. It wasn't very sturdy. Although she ultimately succeeded in pulling the person back, and her arm wasn't really broken, she discovered a few cracks in her arm before bed, thus requiring repairs. The little puppet sat obediently on the table, her arms resting on the wooden racks on either side. Yu Sheng sat across from her, holding a small bowl, carefully picking out "repair materials," cautiously applying them to the cracks on Erin's arm, and slowly smoothing them out with a spoon. Hu Li sat nearby, wide-eyed, watching her Savior repair Erin's arm, drooling profusely.

The air was filled with the aroma of lotus root powder. He continued to apply some to Erin, feed a bite to Hu Li, apply again, and feed again... Nearly half the bag of lotus root powder was used up. Hu Li squinted happily, "Lotus root powder is so tasty~" Erin (emanating the aroma of lotus root) puffed her cheeks, "If it's so good, make some downstairs yourself! Why come here and... Hey, stay away from me! Go lick the bowl yourself!" Hu Li quickly gave a lick on the little puppet's arm, then grabbed the bowl used to mix the lotus root powder on the table and started slurping it up. Yu Sheng happily watched the scene, just about to say something, when the urgent ringing of a phone interrupted him. He took out his phone and saw the call was from Baili Qing. Erin peeked over, greatly surprised, "Wow, it's rare for her to call you in the middle of the night!" Yu Sheng was also quite surprised, picking up the call while rubbing Hu Li's head, reminding the girl not to lick Erin's arm that hadn't fully healed yet, then put the phone to his ear, "Hello? Director Baili? It's so late..." Before he finished speaking, he heard Baili Qing's voice on the other side: "There's a situation at Jinglin Sanatorium. A group of rats has sneaked into the Boundary Land—I think they might be after the 'Omen Goddess'." Beside him, Hu Li's ears perked up with a "boing." Minutes later, they learned about the attack at Jinglin Sanatorium. Utilizing the mechanism of personality materialization, the infiltrator entity that emerged after "Sun Chen's" death briefly breached the containment director, infiltrated the sanatorium's special ops team... and the Black Dot Group. Everything happened not long after Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood left that sanatorium. Yu Sheng listened in a daze, holding his phone. "My gosh..." he was amazed, "Wasn't that just after we left, and so much happened?! And this Black Dot Group..." He paused, quickly matching the information in his mind: "Ah right, I remember now. I heard about it before, it's supposedly a civilian dynamic group on par with the Angel Sect and Venerate Saints Monastery, right... How did such a group suddenly pop up?!" "From the perspective of the Boundary Land and most orderly civilizations, the Black Dot Group, like the Angel Sect and Venerate Saints Monastery, is a dangerous extremist organization, but the Black Dot Group doesn't see themselves that way—they have always defined themselves as a 'cutting-edge technology company' and a 'free academic organization,'" Baili Qing's voice sounded somewhat tired, "Some of their members come from the Terra Archaeological Association and Algered Astrological Association. I suspect the mice sneaking in this time belong to the mentioned branches, drawn in most likely due to the knowledge about the 'Omen Goddess'."
