I'm a villain in the superhero world.

This is a report submitted by an agency under the Far East Regional Headquarters.

[Far East Region of the Oversight Council - Seal Number Containment Assessment Report]

Document Number: T-2014-0723-EAST-089

Security Level: Level 4 (Decision-maker and above)

Submitted by: East Asia Reception Center - Site-CN-18

Subject: Assessment of recent enhanced activity and proposal for upgraded containment procedures for Seal No. 7891 (codename: "Dream Fairy").

Submission Date: July 27, 2014

Assessors: Dr. Su (Senior Researcher at Site-CN-18), Sima (Security Supervisor at Site-CN-18)

1. Object Description:

Seal number 7891 ("You Mengxian") is a white jade female figurine in the Tang Dynasty style, about 42 cm tall, unearthed from a Tang Dynasty noble tomb (which has been confirmed to be a forgery; the actual tomb dates closer to the Shang Dynasty).

Its unusual property lies in its ability to spontaneously influence the dreams of all sleeping humans within a 500-meter radius, and to have a certain probability (about 0.3%) of "retaining" fragments of consciousness of the affected individuals in a highly realistic and logically consistent collective dream narrative generated by it.

Prolonged stay will lead to the dissipation of consciousness in the individual and ultimately brain death.

The object itself does not have the ability to move, but it can indirectly affect reality through "dream narrative" (such as inducing sleepwalking behavior to change the physical environment).

2. Current containment procedures:

The object was contained in Site-CN-18, a standard humanoid anomaly containment unit (5m x 5m x 3m), with lead alloy interlayers lining the interior walls (to block unknown energy forms).

The indoor lighting is kept continuous and soft by non-natural light sources (simulating perpetual daylight to suppress any circadian rhythm-related activity that the object may have).

All personnel entering the containment unit must wear a Level 4 mental barrier generator and are required to work in shifts (each exposure lasting no more than 15 minutes).

The status of the target is monitored remotely every day through a fixed camera and a mental strength detector.

3. Recent anomalies:

自2014年7月10日起，对象表面温度持续缓慢上升（从恆温22℃升至目前的28.5℃），其影响範围半径扩大至510米（误差±2米）。

The mental energy detector detected that the intensity fluctuation of the "dream radiation" emitted by it increased by 300%, and a previously unrecorded frequency band appeared.

7月20日、7月25日，收容单元内两次记录到短暂的、非设备产生的古典乐器幻听（疑似琵琶与笙），持续时间均小于3秒。

Nighttime dream reports from affected site personnel showed a significant increase in the complexity and immersion of the "collective dream narrative," and the appearance of elements similar to the "indescribable city" mentioned in the headquarters' warning (distorted geometric structures, infinite staircases).

4. Risk Assessment:

The current risk level assessment has been upgraded from Yellow (low threat, stable containment) to Orange (medium threat, requires close monitoring).

Potential risks include:

• The impact may expand further, affecting more functional areas of the site and even its periphery.

• Increased intensity of "dream radiation" may weaken the effectiveness of existing mental barrier devices.

Its unusual phenomena may have an unknown connection with the global "dream infiltration" event.

There is an extremely low probability (<0.01%) of breaching the current physical containment (e.g., inducing sleepwalkers to destroy containment facilities).

5. Recommended upgrade measures:

• Immediately transfer the object to the enhanced high-dimensional suppression and containment unit (VK-4) at Site-CN-18, which is equipped with a more powerful reality stabilization anchor and mental interference field.

• Upgrade the monitoring level to continuous real-time mental energy scanning + artificial intelligence abnormal pattern recognition.

• Establish a dedicated monitoring team led by at least one Level 4 or advanced mental defender to be responsible for the daily monitoring and emergency response of the target.

• Request the use of a replica resonator with 'DATA EXPUNGED', placed outside the containment unit, to be used for suppression should the target's activity increase dramatically.

6. Required resources and approvals:

• Access to the VK-4 containment unit (requires joint approval from the Site-CN-18 director and the Far East Regional decision-maker).

• Staffing of the dedicated monitoring team (requires allocation by the Human Resources Department).

• 'Data Deletion' Replica Resonator Call Permission (Requires approval from Headquarters Seal Management Department).

Attachments: Detailed monitoring data charts, mental energy spectrum analysis charts, and excerpts from the dream logs of affected individuals (already desensitized).

Lu Buyi flipped through the report, his finger pausing for a moment at the connection between "Youmengxian" and the global dream event.

If I remember correctly, this event was mentioned in the main storyline of another Bad Ending comic series, Black Sword.

The danger level did not seem high, and it was quickly resolved by the investigation team.

Even so, we cannot let our guard down.

"Is the VK-4 unit at Site-CN-18 currently vacant?" Lu Bu asked without question.

Rime had already checked this: "Yes, Master. VK-4 unit just completed the transfer of seal number 6677—the Creeping Shadow—last month. It is currently in maintenance standby mode. Activation requires simultaneous authorization of your and the Site Manager's electronic keys."

"What are Supervisor Sima's evaluation preferences?"

"In the internal review, Manager Sima supported the escalation, believing that the trend of changes in the target's activity was abnormal and might be related to global events. He suggested that it is better to overreact than to be negligent in prevention."

Lü Buyi nodded. Sima was a veteran security chief at Site-CN-18, known for his steady and reliable approach; his opinion was largely the same as Lü Buyi's.

Lü Buyi picked up the pen used by decision-makers and signed it in the approval column at the end of the document:

[Upgraded containment procedures approved. Activation of VK-4 unit authorized, formation of dedicated monitoring team approved, and request for 'DATA EXPUNGED' replica resonator approved.]

Additionally: All newly emerging abnormal data from "Dream Immortal" will be shared in real time with the headquarters' "Dream Probe" team.

Authorized by: Lü Buyi

After signing these documents, Lü Buyi handed them to Rimei.

"The procedure remains the same. Notify Site-CN-18 that during the escalation of measures, the security level will be temporarily raised to orange alert."

"Yes." Rime took the document and quickly sent it back to Site-CN-18.

Emergency matters are handled quickly, while the rest are mostly routine reports on joint matters between different regions and recommendations for personnel relocation.

Lü Buyi was very efficient; after occasionally asking Rimei for some details, most of the documents were processed within minutes.

Time slipped away amidst the light and shadow of documents and screens.

Outside the window, the morning mist has dissipated, and sunlight shines through the eaves, casting clear patches of light on the study floor.

After the final budget document regarding the "East China Sea Third Observation Station Equipment Upgrade Bidding Plan" was signed and approved, Lü Buyi leaned back and rubbed his temples.

He wasn't tired, nor was he mentally exhausted.

It's just a habit I have.

"Master, would you like some tea?" Rimei stepped forward, lowered her head, and asked softly.

"Yes, regular green tea is fine."

Li Mei quietly withdrew, and returned a moment later with a cup of freshly brewed tea. The tea was dark brown in color and had a rich, invigorating aroma.

Lu Buyi took it, sipped it, and felt the warm, slightly bitter liquid slide down his throat, which slightly improved his complexion.

Then came the daily routine of slacking off.

Besides spiritual practice and work, proper relaxation is also essential.

This continued until the "Popularity Feedback Template," which he had set to automatically pop up once the popularity value reached 200,000, appeared before him.

[Popularity Value: 202857 (Slowly Increasing) (Redeemable)]

Now, after nearly a day of reflection and the continued spread of the "Feast of the Ghost King" CG, its popularity has slowly surpassed the 200,000 mark.

Having been used to hard times, when adding points to the Yin Power, one's popularity points have to be split in half.

Things are different now. In Lü Buyi's eyes, popularity has almost become just a simple number.

I've never touched popularity metrics, and I have no interest in them.

I yawned, clearing my mind of the inappropriate thoughts.

Lu Buyi allocated his popularity points to the development of the Yin energy as planned.

【Yin-Yang Resonance】—This is the term that appeared after development.

Lu Buyi was no stranger to this, but that was precisely why he was somewhat taken aback.

"[Yin-Yang Resonance]...Two hundred thousand?!"

What surprised Lü Buyi was not that they asked for too much, but that they asked for too little!

When the moon and the sun join forces to fight an enemy, they can achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts.

And this relies on the [Yin-Yang resonance] –

In the original work, in the second part of the first volume, Ji Mingyang, who was at a high level of the third energy level, was able to defeat the Snake Queen who had transformed into a dragon, because of the Yin-Yang resonance between him and Yin Qing unconsciously.

Most Yin-Yang Divine Children throughout history have been unable to achieve Yin-Yang Resonance at will, just as no one in Jujutsu Kaisen can unleash Black Flash at will.

But now, thanks to the extra points, Lü Buyi has achieved this directly, rising to the top in one step.

"You can unlock [Yin Yang Resonance] with just 200,000 popularity points... [Template]? You're not selling me a stripped-down version, are you?"

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Seeing expensive goods being sold at a low price all of a sudden, it's no wonder that Lü Buyi would ask such a question.

The [Popularity Feedback Template] also provides an explanation for this:

It's not that expensive goods are being sold cheaply, but rather that Lü Buyi has now almost completely mastered the power of Taiyin.

Furthermore, he had already pointed out several changes in the power of Yin, which is why [Yin-Yang Resonance], as one of the derivatives, was obtained so easily.

Lu Buyi's assessment of this was, "That's very conscientious."

But before he could even feel happy about it for a moment.

Originating from the resonance between the power of Yin and the power of Yang—

The palpitations caused by the appearance of the Yin-Yang resonance made Lü Buyi stop smiling.

And it wasn't just a fleeting moment; this thrill was continuous and unending.

"This is……"

"Is this because I mastered [Yin-Yang Resonance] and consequently enhanced my Yin-Yang sensitivity?"

"This shouldn't be happening," Lü Buyi thought, clutching his chest and frowning.

Even if one's Yin-Yang intuition is enhanced, it should only be triggered when one is near Ji Mingyang.

How could this be—

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt, because Lü Buyi suddenly thought of someone.

Yes, even if I'm not with Ji Mingyang, the Yin-Yang connection can still be triggered.

My own yin-yang intuition has now been enhanced by yin-yang resonance.

If that person gets close to Ji Mingyang, he might also be affected by the Yin-Yang connection.

"Interesting, very interesting. A character who was supposed to appear in the next part has appeared at the beginning of the story..."

"So..." Lu Buyi chuckled softly, his gaze turning towards the location of Haidu.

"Has my house been raided?"
