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

……

After the control chain turned towards the Holy Tower, the pressure on Su Qingxue's wrist lessened.

She did not pull her hand back.

Even if she withdraws now, Santa can still pin the interruption on her. Source verification can only continue if legitimate resonance is maintained.

"Requesting public access to the review subject's information as the person being reviewed."

Su Qingxue looked at the mirror.

"Publicize the current port level."

"Disclose the status of the superior central hub."

"Whether the public tower has the independent right to define the first carrier sequence."

The chief recorder immediately objected.

"The relevant content involves Santa's top secrets."

"If you want to define my identity as top secret, you'd better prove you're qualified first."

Su Qingxue retrieved the permissions that had already been confirmed in the pending review area.

"The party being reviewed has the right to apply for verification of the reviewer's qualifications, which you have publicly confirmed."

No one in the hall could revoke that record.

The chief recorder looked at the Grand Master.

The Grand Master did not speak, but only tried to use the golden seal to shut down the Spirit-Seeking Mirror from being displayed to the outside world.

The application to close the application regarding the historical origins of the Shen family is still pending in the process.

During the qualification verification process, the information of the reviewing entity must not be concealed.

The first row of results from the mirror image will pop up.

[Current Holy Tower Hub: Secondary Subordinate Port.]

The hall was completely silent.

Several representatives of the old tribes thought they had misread the text and enlarged it again.

The Holy Tower has ruled the Central Region for many years, and all families regard it as their supreme main force.

High-level orders are issued by the Holy Tower, candidate qualifications are approved by the Holy Tower, and even the resource quotas of each party must go through the Holy Tower.

The results showed that the Spirit Mirror was actually just a secondary port.

The second line of results appears immediately afterward.

[The primary control unit is missing locally.]

Current status: Still existing under abnormal conditions.

The third line falls.

[Currently, the port has no right to independently define the first bearer sequence of the Phoenix.]

The old clans in the Fengyi branch were the first to fall into chaos.

An elderly woman stood up. Her voice trembled slightly.

"If they don't have the right to define it, what about those past candidates?"

"My granddaughter died in the nuclear test; Santa Cruz said she failed to bear the weight. Who made that judgment?"

Another old family also opened up their historical application.

"Seven people were sent from our tribe, but only two have returned. I need to check the complete records."

The external representative of Tianji Pavilion immediately said:

"The Spirit Mirror is being interfered with by external code; the current results cannot be taken as a final conclusion."

The elders of the Yun family echoed this sentiment.

"The origins of the Shen family's remnant formation are unknown, and the Su family possesses external data. It's highly likely they're colluding to spread contamination."

Qin Feng retrieved the access control record.

"Upon entering the tower, the tower itself confirmed that the data box was inactive, read-only, and non-transferable."

"It didn't change the Spirit-Seeking Mirror, nor did it take over the main array; it only asked a question about its origin."

He looked at the projection of the Grand Master.

"You are guarding a broken formation that has lost its master, yet you treat the candidates of past generations and the remnants of the Shen family as replacement parts."

This sentence does not mention the coordinates of Yanjing.

Neither the Grand Master nor the old clans knew that Qin Feng had already obtained the true controlling position. They only knew that the local heart meridian was missing, but they did not know that the source was still in the Su family's ancestral land.

The information must continue to be suppressed!

Publishing the coordinates now will only encourage more people to rush to Yanjing ahead of time.

Su Qingxue didn't defend herself anymore and turned directly to the Grand Master.

"Santa has no right to define the first order."

"So, in the past twenty years, by what capacity did you screen candidates? And by what capacity did you extract lives?"

The Grand Master said:

"The Holy Tower has long-term management authority. During the period when the main control meridian is missing, the local array hub has the right to maintain operation."

"Maintaining operation does not mean filling the ranks with living people."

"All candidates voluntarily accepted the review."

Did they know they would be used as energy resources?

The Grand Master did not give a direct answer.

Su Qingxue submitted an application to retrieve the historical energy supply catalog.

The Spirit Mirror begins connecting to the sealed archives of the Holy Tower.

A batch of numbers appeared on the mirror surface.

There are candidate numbers for Fengyi, numbers for the Shen family's legacy, and many life modules without names.

The complete file is still locked by permissions; only the category name and the year of access can be seen.

Shen Banxia found one of them.

[The remnants of the Shen family's lives.]

[Purpose: Long-term compensation module for local array hubs.]

[Time of access: 19 years and 11 months.]

[Estimated remaining stabilization period: less than three months.]

She stared at those few lines of text, not moving for a long time.

Previously, she could only deduce what her family members had been used for based on the remnants of the array and the petri dishes. Now, Santa's own archives openly admit that the Shen family's remains were used as a compensatory module for twenty years.

This is not a rumor, nor is it a unilateral accusation by the Su family. Rather, it is an official classification drawn from the local main array by the Spirit-Seeking Mirror.

"Did you save it?"

"Saved."

"Can the name be found?"

"It's still locked up."

"Then let's keep driving."

Shen Banxia nodded.

She didn't want things to get out of control here; crying wouldn't help, and cursing wouldn't solve anything.

The names of the family members haven't been retrieved yet. We need to investigate who participated in the draw, who signed, and who changed the array pattern.

Xiao Henian sat on the old clan seat, looking at the historical energy supply catalog, and began to check the Xiao family's major accounts.

The Xiao family has received numerous Saint Tower certification orders over the years.

In the past, we only knew that the Great Command required life to activate, but we did not know that the final maintenance terminal was connected to the secondary remnant array.

Xiao Kuang's loss of his air saturation this time is likely not an isolated case.

If every decree is used to fill the gaps in the Holy Tower, the more Xiao family uses, the heavier the responsibility they bear.

He did not immediately express his opinion, but only ordered his entourage to retrieve all the receipts.

Other old tribes were doing the same thing.

Some demanded that the list of candidates for death be sealed, while others requested access to the missing persons list. Several other organizations quickly distanced themselves from Tianjige's external representatives to avoid being included in the joint accusations.

The original factions in the hall began to waver.

The Grand Master finally spoke.

"The current result is invalid."

"The Shen family data box carries unverified old code, which has contaminated the Taiyi Spirit-Seeking Mirror. All port levels and power supply catalogs should be re-verified after the contamination is removed."

He gave the order to the chief recorder.

"Public display suspended, data boxes isolated."

Shen Banxia hugged the box.

"You were too scared to sign at the door just now, and now you want to withhold it?"

The Grand Master ignored her and only submitted the pollution assessment to the system.

[Lack of independent physical evidence.]

[Based solely on the current interpretation of the array, it is impossible to determine whether the original code from the past was contaminated.]

The external representative of Tianji Pavilion immediately said:

"The conflict between the Shen family's code and the current array patterns is itself evidence of contamination."

Qin Feng glanced at him.

"The code can be considered fake."

He took out a piece of black waste from the evidence storage box.

The waste pattern has lost its extraction capability, but it still retains a complete return end and maintenance number.

Xiao Henian's face darkened when he saw the thing.

Those were the discarded runes of the Death-Taking Decree, which were peeled off from Xiao Kuang's body.

Qin Feng placed the evidence in front of the Taiyi Spirit-Seeking Mirror.

"What about the extraction loops in living people?!"
