I will burn books and slay gods.

After Lin Su discovered the anomaly in the dome, she vaguely felt that the environment here was different, as if she was being spied on, and indirectly discovered that there seemed to be a high-level conceptual disguise here.

At the same time, different conceptual crises occurred in both locations.

Upon receiving the message, Instructor Gui Chi immediately arranged for Chen Ye to go to the Dome Hall to help Lin Su, and informed him, "The rune array here is still in its infancy and there is not much danger."

After receiving the instructions from the ruler, Chen Ye immediately headed towards the dome hall where Lin Su was!

As Chen Ye ran towards the dome hall, a faint yet slightly piercing audio signal stimulated his eardrums.

Chen Ye instinctively stopped, puzzled by his communicator, but instead of reporting it, he went to the dome hall alone.

When Chen Ye arrived at the Dome Hall, he saw Lin Su attempting to destroy its advanced conceptual disguise.

Chen Ye immediately shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing Chen Ye's shout, Lin Su was first stunned, and then stopped what she was doing.

It wasn't until Chen Ye walked up to Lin Su and said first, "I'll conduct the reconnaissance first," that things started to get going.

Chen Ye then used the "eyes" in the cognitive anchor card to enhance his own perception and try to see through its disguise.

As Chen Ye enhanced his vision, he clearly saw that the inside of the device was not an optical lens, but a slowly pulsating brain tissue.

The brain tissue is connected to the entire planetarium's sound system—it is emitting conceptual frequencies in the infrasound range, subtly altering visitors' perception of time.

Chen Ye suddenly realized that this was the source of the previous "time distortion" incident.

Chen Ye informed everyone of the situation, and Gui Chi, upon hearing the news, exclaimed in shock, "I never imagined that the source of the chaos involving 30 people in the office building a few days ago was here! Is there any way to destroy it?"

Just as Chen Ye was about to destroy the equipment, the sound of running footsteps came from the doorway. The person who entered was Wang Xiaoming. Chen Ye was very surprised, "How did you get here? Aren't you...?"

Then, the instructor's voice came from the other end of the communication device, "I sent Wang Xiaoming over to help you. His abilities might help you complete the mission faster."

Just as the team was preparing to dismantle the equipment, the planetarium's public address system suddenly activated on its own, playing a processed electronic voice.

"Night Watchmen, you're too early. The rehearsal hasn't started yet, and the audience hasn't all arrived."

Immediately afterwards, all the exits of the dome hall were automatically locked, and the lights went out. The actual exhibits began to "come alive."

The planetary model begins to rotate in reverse.

The stars on the constellation chart really started to twinkle and move.

In a model of the solar system, Saturn's rings broke free from their orbit and transformed into countless rotating blades of light that flew towards us.

Upon seeing the attack, Lin Su used flames to construct a ring-shaped barrier to block the light blades, but found that the flames were consumed in great quantities in the "cosmic concept" environment.

The coldness of the universe absorbed the heat of the flames, preventing Lin Su's flames from reaching their full potential.

Seeing that Lin Su's flame barrier was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate, Wang Xiaoming attempted to interfere with the equipment's operation using causal lines.

However, the "thinking" of that brain tissue was so chaotic that it was almost contaminated in the opposite direction.

Just then, Chen Ye had a flash of inspiration: use "cognitive reconstruction"—he quickly instilled the cognitive framework of the geocentric model of the universe into the team members, which, although wrong, was a self-contained system.

Within this framework, planetary reversals give way to "normal phenomena," constellation movements are "celestial warnings," and brain devices become "medieval astronomical instruments."

When the entire scenario is forcibly incorporated into a unified, even flawed, cognitive framework, its aggressiveness is significantly reduced.

The team successfully dismantled the equipment, but the "electronic voice" sound came again.

"Data collection complete. Thank you for your cooperation in the test. Now it's time for the performance, and we will prepare an even grander... astronomical spectacle."

As the words fell, the brain tissue at the core of the device dissolved itself at the last moment, leaving no analyzable sample.

But Chen Ye used the "hand" card to capture a trace of the remaining "operator's intention"—it wasn't malicious, but a cold, experimental curiosity like that of an experimenter observing a lab rat.

After the equipment disintegrated on its own, the lights in the dome hall were turned on again, and all the exhibits were restored to their original state.

Meanwhile, at the location of the ruler, the so-called rune array collapsed and disintegrated after Chen Ye completed his mission.

In an instant, the tourists who were originally walking in a figure-eight pattern returned to their normal order.

Chen Ye and the other two walked out of the dome hall and met up with Gui Chi.

From a distance, Zhou Yuan perceived that all conceptual entities had been destroyed, and the area was now safe.

After hearing the definite answer, the four of them took the same taxi back to return home.

At that moment, as Zhou Yuan regained his senses, he lost his balance, and Jiang Ran immediately caught him.

"Sir, you should use your abilities less. It's causing you too much damage right now!"

Zhou Yuan patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder, "I know, I can hold on for a little longer."

Not long after, Gui Chi, Chen Ye, Lin Su, and Wang Xiaoming also arrived back at the city watchmen's encampment.

As soon as Guichi got out of the car, he saw Zhou Yuan being helped up, but Guichi didn't say much. Guichi's eyes were full of worry and pity.

Seeing the worry in Gui Chi's eyes, Zhou Yuan watched as Gui Chi shook his head slightly and smiled, indicating that he was fine.

With Jiang Ran's support, Zhou Yuan listened to the general situation summarized by the compass and then recounted it; although the completion of the rune array was prevented, the cult had obtained the "test data" they wanted.

Zhou Yuan then asked, "What are your plans for the future? What arrangements do you have?"

Gui Chi shook his head slightly. "Given the current situation, I plan to go back to Morning Star Hospital first to discuss the next steps together."

Zhou Yuan nodded, "Indeed, when faced with such a situation, it's best to have a discussion among all members to arrive at the optimal solution."

After a brief conversation and a final greeting, Zhou Yuan and Gui Chi prepared to embark on their return journey.

Then, under Zhou Yuan's watchful eye, the four of them boarded a black armored vehicle and headed towards "Morning Star Hospital".

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, the old dean sent Lu Yuan back to the Municipal Planetarium with his men. They recovered some data from the undamaged equipment and derived the minimum capability threshold and optimal communication medium for the cult's experiment on "large-scale cognitive rewriting".

The former dean continued to send Lu Yuan to monitor him.

That evening, everyone was busy with their own tasks when suddenly, the familiar alarm sounded again!

Chen Ye and his two companions easily found their way to the strategy room, where they saw a video on a holographic projection. The person on the video was none other than Zhou Yuan!

"Blinds" warning: Similar energy signatures have appeared in three other locations in the city—the cult is conducting multiple "stages" simultaneously.

Upon hearing the warning from "Blinds," the old headmaster immediately issued a mission to destroy all of the cult's activities.

"Set off!"

"yes!"

At this moment, Chen Ye discovered a new change on the monitor on his wrist: a stable light core had appeared in the center of the Soul Fire—a sign that the cognitive blueprint was taking shape.
