I lent my brother 500 yuan, and he offered his wife as collateral.

……

The abandoned transfer station has been sealed off.

Zhou Ye remotely sealed off the external writing end, preventing all new instructions from entering the cultivation array.

The program that can be destroyed was already pre-loaded locally, and the countdown is still decreasing.

"I can lock the triggering account, but I can't close the local program."

Zhou Ye said, "The guardianship of physical evidence must be changed before it is completely reset."

Qin Feng, Shen Banxia, ​​and Su Lie entered the Level 1 Emergency Archives Channel.

Su Qingxue stayed at the pharmacy to handle the inspection team's compensation and business recovery. Qian Shao continued to oversee the joint account to prevent anyone from using the disconnection as an excuse to evade responsibility.

The channel speed was increased to the maximum.

Shen Banxia kept staring at the countdown.

Thirteen minutes.

Twelve minutes.

She did not urge Qin Feng.

Taking this route is the fastest way. Speaking now will only make things more complicated.

Su Lie stood behind her.

How long does bloodline verification take?

"have no idea."

"What's the worst-case scenario?"

"If the identity masking is not removed, the system may require you to supplement your family genealogy."

Do you have it?

"The Shen family is gone, where am I supposed to find a complete family tree?"

Su Lie thought for a moment.

"Then let's use the array pattern first. You can recognize the rhythm, and the blood seal has responded to you as well."

Shen Banxia turned around and glanced at him.

"You even know about this?"

"I don't understand formations."

Su Lie said, "But both sides have to acknowledge the relationship; it can't be based on just a piece of paper."

Shen Banxia didn't say anything more.

This idea is definitely worth trying.

……

The emergency access route leads to the transfer station.

Four people remained at the entrance; their identities had been frozen, and their petri dishes' self-destruction permissions had been locked.

Upon seeing Qin Feng and his two companions enter, one of them immediately said, "This area belongs to the inner ring's forbidden material storage zone; you have no right to enter."

Qin Feng presented a public seizure order.

"The registration has been changed."

"What?"

"It's not forbidden material inside; it's the highest-level historical evidence of life."

The staff who remained looked at their terminals.

All existing storage permissions have been turned grayed out.

They didn't dare to make a move.

After Zhuo Heng's qualifications as the chief investigator collapsed, all the identities of the undercover agents related to the operation were put under investigation. Anyone who obstructs the investigation now will be added to the chain of elimination.

"Get out of the way."

Su Lie did not draw his sword, but simply held up the seizure order in front of them.

"If you don't admit it, I'll apply for a preservation order for each of you to prevent obstruction of evidence. Then don't say I'm bullying you."

The four people retreated to either side.

Shen Banxia quickly entered the evidence area.

Countdown: Nine minutes.

The destruction warning light has been illuminated on the outside of the petri dish.

The life support array is heating up. Once the procedure is complete, the cardiac tissue and sternal array will be simultaneously incinerated.

Doing this will not leave behind complete ashes; even bloodline information will be erased.

Shen Banxia opened the guardianship application.

Applicants must possess dual qualifications.

[First, physical evidence of life and blood ties.]

[Second, those responsible for the emergency preservation of historical artifacts.]

The second item has been approved.

The first requirement is that re-authentication is needed.

She placed her palm on the bloodline reading area.

"Applicant's Name"

"Shen Banxia."

"Family identity".

Shen Banxia paused for a moment.

Over the years, she has rarely mentioned that she is a member of the Shen family in public.

The old case of the Shen family remains unresolved; exposing one's identity will only invite persecution.

She'd do anything—disguise herself as a man, pretend to be a rogue cultivator, or help others break formations—but she couldn't bear to be associated with the Shen family.

Now, she must personally write those two words back into the public archives.

"Shen Banxia, ​​a descendant of the Shen family."

She signed her full name.

Bloodline reading begins, but the system only obtains a partial match.

Identity masking affects authentication.

Please provide supporting family genealogy documentation.

Countdown: Six minutes!

Shen Banxia broke out in a cold sweat.

I don't have a complete family tree.

[Authentication cannot continue.]

Qin Feng retrieved the response record from when he first entered the transfer station.

"Submit a two-way array response."

Shen Banxia immediately reacted and struck out the Shen family's main rhythm.

Three long, two short, one long.

The sternal array pattern in the petri dish lit up.

The heart tissue then throbbed, returning to the same rhythm.

Public archives capture two-way responses.

[Active authentication by a direct descendant of the Shen family has been detected.]

[Blood ties established.]

Temporary guardianship granted.

Shen Banxia pressed the button to take over.

The countdown stopped at two minutes and seven seconds.

The destruction process has been forcibly aborted!

She steadied herself on the control panel, took a couple of breaths, and didn't waste any time.

The first thing to do is to cut off the external read line that has been in place for seventeen years.

Dozens of thin threads detached from the petri dish and were all sealed into the evidence box.

The second thing is to shut down the array that has been continuously extracting permissions for the past twenty years.

Each time a floor is closed, the public archive records its original purpose.

The third thing is to replace it with a pure life-sustaining array that has no reading function.

Qin Feng used his divine eye to examine the array core.

[Function: Maintains the activity of cardiac tissues and bones.]

[Reading capability: None.]

External licensing capability: None.

He nodded only after confirming that there were no hidden interfaces.

Shen Banxia connected to the new life-saving array.

The heart's pulse slowed down, and the rhythm was no longer controlled by external programs.

The fourth thing is to change the registered name.

She deleted the six words "historical preservation materials" and rewrote them:

[The surviving remains of the direct descendants of the Shen family.]

The system requires the guardian to confirm.

Shen Banxia pressed down her bloodline mark.

"The Shen family's name will no longer be registered in any documents."

She did not choose to be buried.

The identity of the bloodstain's owner has not yet been recovered, the original extractor has not been found, and the beneficiary behind the scenes has not been identified.

This life remains must be kept active.

It is an elder of the Shen family and the most important evidence in a 20-year-old cold case.

Qin Feng stood beside her.

"This is the first account."

Shen Banxia stared at the petri dish.

"The bills that follow are very long."

"Let's calculate it slowly."

Qin Feng said, "No one who took anything from the Shen family will escape."

Su Lie sealed all the records of the personnel who remained behind and then personally inspected the transport vehicle again.

"How do we retrieve the physical evidence?"

"Request public escort."

Shen Banxia did not move the petri dishes without permission.

She submitted a transfer application as a temporary guardian, with the destination set as the independent evidence repository of Su's Array Artifacts Preservation Shop.

[Reason for transfer: The original storage location poses a risk of remote destruction.]

[Application approved.]

The public archives department dispatched a sealed transport team.

The ghost car, originally responsible for secretly transferring the bloodstains, was seized on the spot.

This time, the petri dish has an official name, a public timestamp, and the guardianship seal of the Shen family descendants.

Before leaving, Shen Banxia examined her sternal vault.

After the external reading line was cut off, a layer of array patterns that had never been altered was revealed.

That was the first layer of the Shen family's original code.

She only copied the inheritance code, without touching the physical evidence of life.

Zhou Ye completed the verification.

"The code can complete the higher-order processing structure of the purification array."

"What exactly can it do?" Su Lie asked.

"High-end array core blank processing, purification base production."

Shen Banxia added the code to the Shen family's evidence database.

"Only the first layer has been restored; the core of the Shen family's main formation remains in the inner ring."

Qin Feng noticed that there was a mother pattern tail code deep inside the array bones.

It shares the same origin as the Fengyi main control array disk.

However, the permissions following the last few digits are still obscured, making it impossible to trace them now.

The public system has completed the settlement for this security preservation.

[The Su family has completed the preservation of significant historical life evidence.]

[Su's Array Artifact Conservation Shop obtains inner-ring level array artifact production certification.]

The transfer of compensation via the commercial green channel by the inspection team has been completed.

[The allocation of the inner ring transit warehouse has been completed.]

The first batch of legally permitted passes has been issued.

[Inner Ring Road commercial establishment qualification approved.]

Shen Banxia stared at the notifications, somewhat bewildered.

Just moments before, they had been cornered at the pharmacy by Zhuo Heng, their business completely frozen.

Now, not only have they preserved the formation map, but they have also obtained the qualification to be stationed in the inner ring.

Su Lie patted the outer shell of the transport array.

"Bring your family back first."

The petri dishes were moved into the public escort passage.

At the same time, the commercial entrances to the inner ring city gates turned green.

The heavy city gates slowly opened!
