Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

What appeared before the three of them was a giant, wriggling rat ball, three meters in diameter—the "Rat King."

The three broke through the maze and arrived at a rather spacious hall, which was clearly an old-fashioned lecture hall that also served as a movie theater. There was a stage directly in front, and the sloping hall was filled with broken wooden folding stools.

The chandelier, like an old gatekeeper nearing retirement, barely shone. Under its dim, bitter light, like the dim, yellowish light of presbyopia, on the dilapidated stage, countless rat tails were tangled together, squeaking and howling, forming a "Rat King".

"That's it! Yangyang, my love! Gan Yating's!" Xu Lele jumped up and down excitedly, her body shaking as she aimed the action camera on her shoulder at the stage and filmed intently.

"Rat Exterminator No. 1, activate!" Liu Qingyang aimed at the stage, raised the large, vacuum cleaner-like cannon in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

Shang Muchen thought it was a flamethrower or a hair dryer, but to his surprise, a beam of white light shot out from the cannon's mouth.

A beam of white light shone directly onto the Rat King on the stage a few meters away. In an instant, the Rat King seemed to be frozen in place, and all the rats' movements were frozen.

What happened next was beyond Shang Muchen's comprehension and imagination:

First, the tangled tails of all the mice instantly loosened, and each mouse was straightened, flattened, and automatically arranged neatly according to its size, floating in Liu Qingyang's light.

These rats were arranged in a cube with the same length, width, and height, floating in the void. Shang Muchen counted them and found that it was a "rat cube" with a side length of "6 rats", but there were 2 rats missing at the corners.

At first glance, it becomes clear that the Rat King is composed of a total of "6*6*6-2=214" rats.

Even the academically challenged Shang Muchen could count the number of mice instantly.

"It's working!" Liu Qingyang said happily. "Lele, keep track of it!"

"Keep it up!" Xu Lele excitedly tapped on the tablet.

Next, all the mice were "decomposed" in an instant.

It wasn't torn apart or killed, but rather "disintegrated" in the literal sense—the 214 tiny heads of 214 mice were arranged neatly in order;

Next came 214 tails, which were automatically and neatly arranged according to their length;

Then came the body and limbs—856 calves, all neatly arranged.

Shang Muchen was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what kind of evil machine "Rat Exterminator No. 1" was.

Liu Qingyang and Xu Lele were clearly aware of what had happened, and they seemed completely unfazed.

"The effect is even better than in the lab! The energy level can be increased even further. Have you recorded it all?" Liu Qingyang's voice trembled slightly with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

"Of course I've recorded it all! You continue, hold on! Break it down to the organ level... no, try breaking it down to the macromolecular scale!"

"We can't go down to the quantum scale; if we do, it will cause the fluidity of reality to collapse!"

"We don't need to go to the quantum scale; the macromolecular scale of proteins is sufficient."

"Okay!" With that, Liu Qingyang flipped a switch, and the white light shooting out of the cannon in his hand instantly became much brighter, almost dazzling.

Shang Muchen stared in astonishment at the rat's body, which was suspended in mid-air and disintegrated into a head, torso, limbs, and tail, breaking down further like a painted tactical puppet.

The black fur was broken down, and all the hairs were straightened one by one in an instant, arranged neatly like a brush.

All the muscles and tissues were peeled off the bones without a drop of blood flowing.

The blood was not dried out or "drawn away," but was "separated" directly from the rat's remains in a "liquid" form.

Just like separating the chocolate and cream parts of an Oreo, the rat's remains were instantly dismembered and then "decomposed," categorized, extracted, and re-filed according to the elements that make up the body.

Shang Muchen sincerely remarked that the librarian responsible for organizing books would definitely love "Rat Exterminator No. 1" because this machine's "classification" ability is too strong.

At this point, the "rat" was completely unrecognizable; what appeared on stage was a neatly categorized "biomass" model.

The skeleton was reshaped into a neat white calcium cube, the hair was combed into a brush, the protein was made into a cube-shaped flesh ball, and the liquid was encased in a thin film in a sealed cube-shaped biomass container.

"Lele, the water-storing capsule you designed is a great success. I forgot about blood and bodily fluids at the time. Without this capsule, the floor would have been covered in a mess." Liu Qingyang nodded in satisfaction.

Shang Muchen was completely dumbfounded. Forgetting all about saving face, he excitedly asked, "Qingyang! What exactly did you do? What kind of machine is this? This is too weird!"

Liu Qingyang chuckled softly, turned off the machine in her hand, and explained, "Mu Chen, even if I explain it to you, you probably won't understand."

To put it simply:

"Rat Exterminator No. 1" performed an "entropy reduction" operation on the target entity.

Through purposeful and planned continuous screening and optimization, we reconstructed the structure and order of the target entities.

In fact, the operating principle of "Rat Exterminator No. 1" is exactly the same as the machine we reviewed the other day that recreated the highway traffic accident scene, and the operating principle of "Ghost Catcher No. 1" used by Professor Eileen.

"We used a 'nonlinear probabilistic event engine' to conduct 'active guidance based on non-free will's real-world fluidization, thereby achieving the 'expected observer effect' in the standard four-dimensional universe model."

"Did you understand?" Xu Lele asked Shang Muchen with a proud look on her face.

This guy's expression reminded Shang Muchen of the time when he stole his grandma's coins to play games at the arcade when he was a child, and the look on his grandma's face when she questioned him when he got home.

Shang Muchen weakly shook his head, admitting defeat, and said, "I don't understand..."

"Simply put, it means 'wish fulfillment'," Liu Qingyang said with a smile. "Of course, there are conditions to wish fulfillment, hehe."

Unexpectedly, this practical operation was so successful, far exceeding expectations.

Lele, you must keep a good record!

Xu Lele nodded vigorously, and surprisingly, with a nimble flick of her large butt, she nimbly leaped onto the stage, taking comprehensive photos and scans of the neatly categorized hair, bones, muscles, and bodily fluids on the stage.

"Professor Eileen said that her original intention in inventing this was to never have to tidy up the lab bench again. She wanted to invent a machine that could automatically organize all sorts of messy things," Liu Qingyang laughed. "Organizing and filing are really a female PhD student's grievances."

In fact, this tool is incredibly powerful. As a weapon, if the power is high enough and the computing power is strong enough, it is enough to dismantle tanks, airplanes, missiles, drones, and robots, not to mention soldiers.

Xu Lele's statement, "The living are dried up, and the dead are stiffened up," is by no means an exaggeration.

Even if aliens came in flying saucers, they could still dismantle them—anything material, composed of molecules, can be disregarded by electromagnetic forces, the strong force, and the weak force, breaking the Yang-Mills gauge field and directly decomposing and resetting.

"That's amazing!" Shang Muchen nodded repeatedly.

The scene before him was a bit too stimulating. Shang Muchen felt an itch in his head, and an inexplicable intuition kept telling him that things were far from over.

After Xu Lele filmed for a while, the bones, proteins, and other such things on the stage began to slowly dissipate and disappear into the air.

"As expected, the reality of a four-dimensional universe cannot withstand such a massive entropy reduction effect." Xu Lele had just made a comment when she was surprised to discover something new, "Huh, what's this?"
