The Great Doctor Girl

In the center of the hall, the device stands quietly, a heart-pounding presence.

The core is a sphere emitting a faint blue light, which is like a will-o'-the-wisp, eerie and mysterious. It is surrounded by several complex rune lines, winding and twisting, like a spell written in some ancient mysterious language, or as if it is the gathering center of some unknown power.

There seemed to be an invisible energy floating in the air, cold and oppressive, like a layer of frost, which made people feel awe.

With every step closer, the hairs on my skin stood up, and I seemed to hear a faint whisper in my ears, as if a mysterious ancient force was issuing a warning. The ground beneath my feet seemed to tremble slightly due to the energy fluctuations of the device, as if it was hiding an evil creature that was ready to break out of the ground at any time.

"You see," Zhen Lingyue said gravely, standing beside the device. "This is their core device. Not only did it trap our technical team, it also caused several people who came into contact with it to fall into mental confusion. It's as if their souls have been drained away, leaving only their shells wandering the world."

I slowly approached the device and felt an invisible pressure, like a mountain pressing down on my head.

There was a slight tingling pain between my eyebrows, as if some force was trying to invade my consciousness, like a sharp probe, probing the depths of my mind.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, circulated my internal energy, and opened my "third eye".

In an instant, the energy flow of the device appeared in my vision in a form I had never seen before.

The dark blue light waves were not just mechanical vibrations, but more like some kind of "creature" breathing slowly, with a sense of weirdness and greed in its breathing. The core rune lines formed a perfect five-element balance array, but this balance seemed to be constantly absorbing external life energy to maintain its own operation, just like a bottomless black hole, devouring the vitality of the surrounding environment.

"This is a reverse five elements formation." I whispered, tapping a few key runes around the device. "The device is simulating a 'holographic balance', but its power comes from the disturbance of the human energy field.

The normal five elements should flow in harmony to nourish life, but it instead flows in the opposite direction, destroying and stealing energy, like forcibly diverting the waters of the river of life to dry land, just to build this evil fortress."

Zhen Lingyue frowned: "How should we solve this problem specifically?"

After careful analysis, I said, "Its core frequency must be disrupted through the harmonization of the Five Elements. Simply put, this device relies on an energy pattern very similar to the human body's 'vital energy' and 'vital energy' cycle, but it deliberately reverses the cycle, causing the device's energy growth to be asymmetrical. If we can counter this with the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, we can break its operating rules."

"Sounds more like witchcraft." Zhen Lingyue shook his head but did not refute. "What do you need?"

"Time," I said. "This device isn't static; it's controlled by some 'programmed' force. If I want to interfere with it, I'll need to deploy a countermeasure array, which requires extremely precise calculations and operations."

Zhen Lingyue immediately began to make arrangements.

He mobilized all the technical equipment and even provided some research materials left by "Rose". The characters on those materials were like heavenly books, mysterious and obscure.

I combined this information with my own theories and set up a reverse Yin-Yang Five Elements formation around the device.

When we first set up the formation, we encountered difficulties.

The venue was severely disturbed by special energy due to the long-term energy release of the device, which caused errors in rune drawing and instability.

The rune that had just been drawn was instantly twisted and deformed, as if it was controlled by some evil force.

I hurriedly used my internal energy to protect the key nodes and recalibrate the direction of energy. At the same time, my mind quickly recalled the solutions to similar dilemmas in the ancient scrolls I had studied in the past. Sweat rolled down my forehead and my back was already wet.

After many twists and turns, we finally managed to stabilize our position and gradually improve the formation.

After several hours, the countermeasure array was deployed.

I sat cross-legged, channeling my inner energy into the silver needles to activate the array.

A weak vibration was heard, and then a faint blue light began to flicker, as if it sensed the threat and became alert like an awakened beast.

When the finger gently flicked the silver needle, a slight vibration was heard. The faint blue light seemed to feel threatened and began to jump violently. The light became brighter, as if to swallow up everything around it.

"Hurry up, the energy fluctuations of the device are increasing!" Zhen Lingyue warned, his voice filled with anxiety.

I quickened my movements, injecting my inner energy into the array, countering the device's core frequency.

The two forces collided in space, causing invisible ripples. The air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, becoming increasingly heavy, and the oppressive feeling made it difficult to breathe.

"Hold on!" Zhen Lingyue growled, clenched his fists, his face full of tension.

Just when the last silver needle was activated, the light of the device suddenly shone brightly, as if the sun exploded, the bright light was blinding.

The energy in my body was flowing backwards, my throat felt sweet, and I almost vomited blood. My internal organs felt like they were being hit by a heavy hammer.

But the next second, the faint blue light gradually faded, and the breathing-like vibration of the core sphere also stopped. The device seemed to have been stripped of its bones and muscles, and was completely paralyzed.

"Success." I said weakly, my vision went black and my body was shaking.

After the device stopped, I found a vital fragment from the core rune.

There was a strange inscription engraved on it, the content of which was exactly consistent with the "door where light and shadow intertwined" mentioned in the patient's dream.

Zhen Lingyue asked in a low voice: "What is this?"

"This might be their real goal," I said slowly. "'Rose' isn't satisfied with human experiments; they're trying to open some kind of door through the human body.

This door may lead to unknown dimensions and even subvert our understanding of the world.

It could be infinite energy, or it could be uncontrollable destruction, like Pandora's box, once opened, good or bad is unpredictable."

Zhen Lingyue's expression was solemn: "What exactly will this plan bring?"

"I don't know." My eyes were heavy. "But no matter what, we can't let it succeed."

After leaving the laboratory, I returned to the base and immediately began studying the fragments.

After rune parsing and frequency analysis, I was shocked to find that these symbols are not ordinary ideographic characters. They are like the mysterious "energy code" of the universe. Every scratch and every bend contains the secret of stimulating specific energy frequencies. These frequencies intertwine and resonate to play a strange "melody", and this melody is just like the "key to open the door" mentioned in the patient's dream, which seems to pry open the boundary between reality and the unknown and lead to that forbidden place.

The next day, I walked into the isolation ward and talked to the only conscious patient.

His face was as pale as paper, revealing a dead look, and his body was weakly slumped in the hospital bed, but there was a rare light of clarity in his eyes.

"Is there anything special in your dream?" I asked softly.

The patient slowly closed his eyes, as if straining to recall the horrific scene. His voice was trembling and weak, as if he were squeezing the words out from between his teeth. "It was a door... Light and shadow danced wildly, tangled, like a vortex at the dawn of chaos, or an endless void devouring the heavens and earth. My heart trembled with fear, and I dared not approach even a little. Yet, I sensed something mysterious hidden behind the door, as if it eagerly awaited me, wanted to lead me inside."

"Waiting for you?" I frowned and asked, "Did you see anything concrete?"

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils contracted sharply, and fear instantly filled his eyes. "A shadow."

He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "It has no face or form, but I am certain it is staring at me intently. Its gaze is like an icy pool, or an endless black hole. The pressure emanating from its body makes me feel like I'm falling into an ice cellar. My soul trembles. I can clearly feel it...calling me."

Hearing this, I felt a chill run down my spine, a chill surging through my forehead. This "shadow" might be the mysterious "gatekeeper" of an unknown dimension, and Rose's shocking plan was precisely to connect with it and rip open the gap between this world and the otherworld.

After studying the fragments, I said solemnly to Zhen Lingyue, "These symbols are like a mysterious key. They not only carry hidden meanings, but also serve as a sophisticated tool for stimulating energy resonance and shifting dimensions. 'Rose' is meticulously planning to use this 'melody' to open the door to another world. Judging from the current situation, they may already be on the verge of success."

"What do you mean?" Zhen Lingyue's eyes were deep, revealing a hint of worry and determination.

"There's no time to lose. We must immediately lock down the core laboratory of 'Rose.'" I clenched my fists, my gaze steely. "If they succeed and completely open that 'Gate of Light and Shadow,' the consequences will be catastrophic, beyond our imagination and endurance."

Zhen Lingyue nodded heavily. "I will do my best and mobilize all resources to thoroughly investigate their lair. You must also speed up the deciphering of the rune mystery and get ahead of them."

Late at night, in the base laboratory, I stared at the symbols on the fragments. In a trance, I seemed to hear a secret "melody" ringing in my ears. The sound was ethereal and ethereal, as if it came from endless time and space. It was both out of reach and yet audible, just like the bewitching call of a mysterious force in the dark.

"A door where light and shadow interweave..." I murmured, my heart surging, and I had a premonition that a shocking storm was approaching.

In the distance, the invisible shadow is hidden behind the dark curtain, lurking and spying quietly, while the truth, as if shrouded in heavy fog, has just begun to emerge.

A few days later, Zhen Lingyue, with a serious expression on his face, strode into the laboratory holding the latest intelligence documents.

"We have a clue. We've located the Rose's core laboratory. It's deep within a long-abandoned military research base."

He handed over the document and pointed at the remote mountainous area on the map. "This area has appeared deserted and desolate since it was designated a military restricted area ten years ago. However, undercurrents are surging. They are quietly operating underground. The core device there probably holds shocking secrets, far greater in scale than anything we've seen before."

I quickly flipped through the information and was shocked.

The document details that the "core device" operates in coordination with multiple secret experimental sites, like a huge and sophisticated "energy spider web". A single move can affect the entire body. It is now steadily moving towards the end of the plan and is only one step away from opening the "Gate of Light and Shadow".

"How close are they to successfully opening it?" I asked, looking up.

Zhen Lingyue said in a deep voice, "Intelligence shows that the initial frequency debugging has been completed. We are racing against time and must strike before they officially start. Otherwise, the out-of-control situation will be like a flood and a beast, engulfing everything."

"I have to be there in person," I said without hesitation, my tone resolute. "Remote control is beyond our reach. If we want to eliminate the problem at its source, we have to go straight to the source, dismantle the device ourselves, and find a way to shut it down."
