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

……

After Qin Feng finished speaking, the projection on the first observation seat did not respond immediately.

The other members of the collateral relatives didn't understand either.

The real-time authentication has just shown that the hidden seat in the central domain is online.

The first observation seat itself admitted that this was a cross-border projection.

Why did Qin Feng say it wasn't in the Central Region?

Zhou Ye sent over the first set of comparison results.

"The average projection delay is 0.01 seconds, while the lowest record for the existing line from Zhongyu to Yanjing is 2.7 seconds."

The first observer said:

"The routes that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion possesses do not need to be disclosed to you."

Qin Feng did not argue.

"Qian Shao, cut off public communications in the central region for ten seconds."

Qian Shao's voice came through the remote channel.

"The proxy servers of Saint Tower, Su Family, and Shen Family will all be disconnected, and the image will be saved locally instead."

"implement."

[Central Domain Public Communications is temporarily suspended.]

Inside the hall, several remote screens simultaneously went dark.

Zhou Ye's external imagery cut off, and Qian Shao's voice also disappeared.

But the projector in the first observation seat is still there!

It remained in place, and the image did not diminish.

Even malicious control requests for mergers and locks are still being sent.

Finally, there was a response from the collateral relatives.

"Isn't it a crossover projection?"

"The central communication network is down, so how is it still running?"

The first observation seat said coldly:

"The ancestral land has its own independent backup line."

Qin Feng raised his hand to signal Shen Banxia.

Shen Banxia swept the monitoring echo of the Zero Source Pattern across the hall.

"There is no cross-border energy fluctuation; the projection uses local energy from the ancestral land."

The second piece of evidence is valid.

Ten seconds later, communication between the two regions was restored.

Zhou Ye went back online and immediately submitted the third comparison.

"The projection energy phase is synchronized with the ancestral hall. Every time the hall's energy supply changes, the projection will change at the same time, without any transmission delay."

The fourth item also came out quickly.

"Real-time authentication carries the ancestral local clock fingerprint. It is not generated and transmitted from the middle domain, but is done here on the spot."

The first observation board has begun attempting to revoke its certification.

[Malicious merger in progress, cancellation failed.]

Qin Feng produced the fifth piece of evidence.

"At the bottom of all high-privilege access records, there is the same device serial number."

[Su Zhennan's former family seal, bottom layer serial number: SJY-01.]

Now, even those who didn't understand formations could see it clearly.

The so-called remote access means that every command is issued from the old master.

The hidden seats in the Central Region are online, it's true.

The projection in front of us belongs to the first observation seat, and that's true.

The only thing that's fake is its location!

Qin Feng walked up to the old physical bus.

"Twenty years ago, the First Observer Board publicly revoked the authority to operate in Beijing."

"In order to retain control, it hid a fragment of the core soul that could independently execute authentication and observation commands inside the old family seal of Su Zhennan."

"The main body of the Central Domain retains the seat identity, while the remnant soul in the Old Seal assumes the authority of Yanjing. Both sides use the same seat authentication, so the system has always treated it as a remote connection from the Central Domain."

The first observer said:

"A backup with limited permissions cannot be considered a remnant of life."

"Of course you don't want to admit it's life."

Qin Feng opened the asset registration document from twenty years ago.

"You define it yourself as a non-living seat data asset, so you don't have to bear the responsibility of a life contract or be subject to life protection restrictions."

The projector remained silent.

Qin Feng continued to disassemble the structure.

"YL-001 took on the wear and tear and backlash for it."

"He Shoushan is responsible for maintaining the ancestral land and the life pod."

"The old master seal is responsible for permission bridging, data monitoring, and scheduled uploads."

"The historical identity verification is handled by the maternal lineage."

Su Qingxue looked at the old family seal.

That seal was once placed at the highest point of the Su family's main hall.

Each successive head of the family, upon assuming the position, must swear an oath before the old seal. Important internal deliberations within the Su family also involve bringing out the family head's seal as a witness.

It now appears that every oath-taking and every private conversation may have been recorded by it.

An elderly member of the clan suddenly covered his mouth, turned around, and gagged a few times.

When he was young, he inherited a collateral branch of the family and once knelt before an old seal to reveal all the family secrets.

He always thought that it was an explanation to his ancestors.

As it turns out, the ancestors didn't hear it, but the First Observation Seat listened for over twenty years!

Another elder recalled more.

"Su Zhennan burned seven account books."

"Some people said at the time that he destroyed the account books to prevent the current head of the family from investigating."

"But before burning the account books each time, he would bring the old seal into his study separately."

Su Qingxue asked:

Do you remember the date?

"I can remember two instances: one was when Su's overseas project ran into trouble, and the other was when the profits of the collateral relatives were investigated."

Zhou Ye immediately retrieved the old seal and uploaded the log.

"The timing matches up. Although the ledgers were burned, the contents had already been read by the old seal and uploaded to the hidden observation account."

The collateral relatives were in complete chaos.

Some people, remembering past grievances they had been involved in, rushed to push forward.

"Patriarch, I'm willing to confess. I didn't embezzle that batch of medicinal herbs ten years ago; Su Zhennan instructed me to transfer them."

Another person immediately said:

"I also kept copies of the overseas projects, which I can submit in full."

"I know which other meetings the old Indians have been monitoring."

Just moments before, they were kneeling and paying homage to the first observation seat.

Now that they've discovered the old seal recorded everything, they're vying to prove they were just following orders.

Looking at this group of people, Wu Jie couldn't help but say:

"Don't push, register one by one. Even if you rush to speak now, you can't erase past debts."

An elder said urgently:

"I'm just cooperating with the investigation."

"If you want to cooperate, then line up. You stepped on the person in front of you's foot."

The man looked down and quickly moved to the side.

Qin Feng did not allow the chaos to continue.

"Everyone, stop touching the old seal!"

"No one is allowed to demolish, smash, or erase their own oath record."

Su Lie stood in front of the physical bus and blocked the passage close to the old seal.

A member of a collateral branch hesitated and asked:

"Since the remnant soul is inside the seal, why not just destroy it?"

"The logs haven't been mirrored yet."

"But it still controls the ancestral land."

"So you can't touch it recklessly! The old seal is connected to the remnant soul, the accounts, and YL-001's historical life data. If you hit it with a hammer, who knows what you might destroy?"

Su Qingxue submitted evidence in multiple locations for protection.

The old family seal has been upgraded to Level 1 physical evidence.

[The 20th anniversary diary is simultaneously being sent to the Santa Fe public platform.]

[Simultaneously sending information about the historical provenance of the Shen family through agents.]

[Send to the Su's external notary database simultaneously.]

[Any unilateral deletion will be recorded and a record of liability will be maintained.]

The first observation post issued multiple blocking orders, all of which were maliciously intercepted and locked down.

Its hidden structure, which it had maintained for many years, is being revealed one by one.

The projection team originally intended to apply pressure using the central domain entity.

However, the location of the local remnant soul has already been exposed.

Furthermore, the distance serves as a reminder to everyone that the part in front of them can be dealt with directly.

Looking at the old seal, He Shoushan finally understood what he was protecting.

"You've always been here."

The first observation seat ignored him.

He Shoushan moved forward a little.

"You've seen me replace the array stones every time in the past twenty years."

"The life pod experienced a backlash, and I submitted seventeen maintenance requests."

"You received it, right?"

The projection turned towards him.

"Maintaining the interface is not authorized to inquire with the observer panel."

He Shoushan's face twitched a few times.

"So you received it."

The first observer will not answer.

He Shoushan lowered his head, his smile gone.

He had previously thought that perhaps the first observation post did not know the situation inside the life pod, and perhaps the cleanup list was simply generated automatically by the system.

Now, all excuses are gone.

The other party has always been stuck in the old seal.

I've reviewed every single application.

Every instance of silence is a choice.

Zhou Ye completed the final mirrored version of his diary.

"Brother Feng, the twenty years of eavesdropping records from the old seal have been sealed in three locations. The physical bus structure has also been copied."

Just as Qin Feng was about to order the isolation of the old seal, the Divine Eye suddenly issued a warning.

[The target's internal energy has increased abnormally.]

[Hidden Structure: Evidence Destruction Array.]

[Related Scope: Remnants of the Old Imprint, Historical Accounts, Life Pod Data, Ancestral Land Control.]

The projection on the first observation deck began to fade.

"Since you believe this is merely a local asset of Yanjing, then let it disappear along with the old debts of Yanjing."

A crisp sound came from inside the old family seal.

Four energy pipes buried beneath the hall started operating at full capacity simultaneously.

Several cracks appeared in the ground.

The array patterns in Guifeng Corridor and the Old Medical Clinic began to rotate in reverse.

[Evidence destruction procedure initiated!]

[The entire area will be cleared in 90 seconds!]
