I discovered a world bug.

Compared to the images seen in previous divinations, the images from this yarrow stalk and tortoise shell divination were undoubtedly much clearer.

However, clearer images are not the same as more useful information.

If you were to extract all the information, the divination would only provide one piece of information.

I am likely being subjected to a continuous "cardiac arrest attack." The amulet can withstand the attack, but it keeps getting burned through.

----What does this mean?

Does this mean that the opponent's attack was not a "single" attack, but a continuous one?

Good guy.

The enemy has also begun to learn the tactic of saturation attacks?

Theoretically speaking, this is indeed possible.

After all, it is now almost certain that their opponent is a "national-level" power. And after they discovered that most of their early planning methods had become ineffective and the struggle had entered a new phase, it was a predictable outcome that they would launch a large-scale attack regardless of cost, without restraint, and without fear of exposure.

The only problem is...

How did they do it?

Lin Shu felt a strong sense of crisis. After confirming the divination results, he immediately found Qin Lang and explained the situation.

"...So you mean, in this round of divination, you endured multiple rounds of attacks all by yourself?"

"Yes, and it's quite clear that you haven't been attacked."

Lin Shu replied:

"Lu Ran is still driving, and she seems perfectly normal."

"From beginning to end, they had only one target, and most likely they concentrated all available resources on me alone."

"This is troublesome..."

Qin Lang frowned deeply.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"In your divination, did you see a specific number of amulets that were burned through?"

"Quite a few—one after another, the number is at least 20 or more."

Lin Shu replied:

"But that's not the point. The point is that the amulet was burned through very quickly."

"I have a feeling that the enemy's attack is oversaturated. In the previous conflict, they may have realized that we can mass-produce amulets."

"Therefore, their attack was based on our defensive limits."

"That's not a problem."

Qin Lang shook his head.

"What upper limit... We have optimized the ritual procedure you proposed, and now the rear can mass-produce peace charms."

"The current output is not high because most of the people who can participate have other jobs."

"If we continue to mobilize and expand production, we can raise the daily production limit of amulets to over 4000."

"How could he possibly penetrate 4000 amulets? Don't be ridiculous..."

"Wait a minute."

Lin Shu was dumbfounded.

Mobilization? Production expansion?

These two terms, when placed in the context of rituals...

Why does it feel so out of place?!

Good grief, they've jumped straight into the industrialization process, haven't they?!

"4000?? How did you do that?"

Lin Shu asked incredulously:

"Even at a rate of one per person every two hours, you couldn't produce that many, could you? Do you have that many people?"

"We only have a little over 100 people available right now."

Qin Lang replied:

"But the logistics department has a huge network of connections, and when necessary, we can mobilize all the peripheral participants."

"They don't need to know what they're supposed to do; they just need to hand in the finished product."

"Based on this calculation, we can mobilize a scale of about 500 people. With the addition of batch pre-process preparation, it is not a big problem for each person to produce one peace charm per hour on average."

"But that's not the point. I don't think our opponents are that stupid as to engage in a large-scale attrition war with us—if they knew who we were, they would know that no one could outlast us in this regard."

"Therefore, more than an oversaturation attack, I'm worried that they're hiding something else in this attack..."

Qin Lang paused, thought for a moment, and then continued to ask:

"You said you saw many faces? What exactly happened?"

"Literal meaning."

Lin Shu replied:

"At that time, I should have been in a near-death state. Even in the hallucination of divination, I could clearly feel that my thinking had stopped."

"Vision is blurry, movements are sluggish and uncontrollable, and cannot be predicted by divination."

"I only saw a face before I finally died."

"Are there many?"

"a lot of."

Lin Shu replied:

"Densely packed, it's like...an abstract painting."

"They're all piled up on top of each other, some as small as pixels, some so close you can see them... I don't understand what this image means."

When Lin Shu talked about those "faces," her heart unconsciously beat a little faster.

Unlike previous encounters with death, this time, during the process of dying, he felt an extreme despair.

---- Despair not caused by negative emotions such as fear or tension.

It seems more like... a despair born from pure "disappointment".

At that moment, it felt like I had already given up struggling.

So why is that?

What exactly am I disappointed in?

Lin Shu was still pondering, but Qin Lang had already keenly grasped the key point.

"During the divination, did you perform a restraining spell at the last minute?"

"Or did you complete the rituals of the imprisonment ceremony beforehand?"

"Is it possible that the faces you saw are the faces of the people who attacked you?"

...That's quite possible.

But if that's really the case... how could there be so many?!

Judging from the images in the divination, it was at least one...

Thousands upon thousands of numbers.

Thousands of attackers.

Even for a nation-level power, this is far too exaggerated.

"...Can they do it?"

"I mean, organizing so many different people to launch a simultaneous attack?"

"have no idea."

Qin Lang shook his head.

"I don't think they can do it. Given their organizational and mobilization capabilities, it would be very difficult."

"But no one can guarantee that once the power of the ritual is restored, the world will no longer be the world we know."

"We can only plan for the worst; we can only assume that they will actually do it."

"Essentially, this is a 'table-flipping' act."

"Then our response becomes quite simple and brutal."

"On the one hand, we must produce as many amulets as possible to buy you as much time as possible."

"on the other hand......"

"We must act quickly and eradicate the Hung Yuen Society as soon as possible."

"Although it is clear that their biggest backing comes from overseas forces, cutting off their tentacles will also reduce their power at home."

"Only then will we have more room to maneuver."

"alright."

Qin Lang let out a heavy sigh.

"From now on, you don't need to think about anything else. Just cooperate as much as possible with the production of the amulet."

"I'll bring in a medical team—it's just an attack on the heart, after all. At worst, we'll set up an ECMO machine on standby."

"As long as you don't die, we still have a chance."

"Before you came, I had already submitted the report, and your strategic value had been explained to the organization—the organization highly approves of it."

"Don't worry, if there's a real possibility that you might die in this attack..."

"I guarantee we'll flip the table before that happens."

"What the hell are these rituals... Let's experience our east wind first!"
