As Jade spoke, she suddenly felt something.
She gazed out the porthole at the dark starry sky, and in the blink of an eye, a spaceship suddenly jumped over.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light shone from the spaceship, and a brilliant golden sky suddenly stretched across the mist.
The golden light resembled a mirror, and after layers of wrapping and stacking, it finally formed a huge piece of amber, sealing its contents inside.
The fog slowly condensed, as if it would no longer move forward under the blockade of this force.
Emerald's face immediately relaxed a little. In this situation, it must be Diamond, the head of their strategic investment department and the guardian of the custody order, who made the move.
The terminal vibrated slightly; she assumed it was a diamond's signal, and sure enough, there was a line of text on it:
"Other methods are needed to preserve it."

The Pinocchio of today is different from what Lin Yuan saw. It has undergone tremendous changes.
Whether it's the primordial dream or the twelve moments, all the streets and alleys, neon theaters, and everything that exists with memory are shrouded in a grayish-white mist, as if entering another world.
Looking up, even the high-hanging sun was now hazy, hidden in the mist.
Pinocchio Theatre, the place of God's birth on God's Birthday.
After overcoming numerous hardships, the train crew finally interrupted the process by which God Sunday was giving birth to a new destiny.
To achieve this, guided by his pioneering spirit, Xing even summoned Pam's Star Train to directly crash into the Old Sun.
On the devastated battlefield, the body of the Lord of the Sun lay fallen to the ground, but his radiance still shone brightly, preventing the fog from getting close.
At this moment, no one's face showed joy or ease at defeating God Sunday; instead, it was even more solemn.
Looking down, the entire dream world became hazy, as if this place were the only remaining isolated island.
Even the Star Train, which was hovering in the sky, lost its way and became trapped here.
"What on earth happened?!"
Xing looked bewildered; this was completely different from the original plan.
Unfortunately, although the knowledgeable Ji Zi, Uncle Yang, and Dan Heng were all there, no one could give her a reasonable explanation.
She turned to look at the firefly, only to find the tall mecha quietly gazing up at the sun in the sky.
"Alas, it's all in vain, but it's only right. The way of man is not to be permitted by the gods."
A sigh rang out, and the God Lord Ri slowly propped himself up and stood up again.
Looking at the crowd who were on high alert and had taken up their weapons, the priest spoke softly:
"My friends, I have witnessed your pioneering spirit. Since I have failed, it proves that my path still has flaws. But..."
On Sunday, look up at the sky.
"The path that belongs to humanity will never be defeated. Some have already taken the first step and embarked on the path. However... going against the will of Heaven will not be permitted by the gods."
"Is Mr. Sunday referring to Lin Yuan, the company's custody officer?"
Walter adjusted his glasses, a thoughtful look flashing across his composed face. The path of humanity… He couldn't help but recall the power he had witnessed on the Immortal Ship.
"I don't know who you're talking about, but there can't be two suns in the sky. His brilliance far surpasses mine, but alas—"
"What's wrong with that sun? And what's with all this fog?"
Sam suddenly stepped forward and asked in a mechanical voice, but everyone could hear a hint of anxiety in his voice.
“A defiance of the heavens will inevitably be thwarted by divine will. As for me, perhaps my path will never succeed in their eyes.”
On Sunday, he made a self-deprecating remark, gazing at the pensive crowd. He then extended his palm, reaching into the mist.
A moment later, as the god slowly withdrew his arm, he brought several figures to this place.
"My power is almost exhausted, and in the end, I can only draw these people from this dream. Friends, since you were able to defeat me, please continue to save this paradise. For everyone, and for ourselves."
After speaking on Sunday, he remained silent.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the newly appeared figure, and upon seeing the person, they breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Leading the group was none other than Huang Quan, the Void Commander. As soon as she appeared, she began scanning everyone present. After a moment, Huang Quan's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze dimming somewhat, but she remained silent.
"Everyone, things have taken an unexpected turn. In this dream now, Constance and I... are not feeling well."
Following behind were the two women, who had been full of energy, but now looked extremely tired.
"So can anyone tell me what exactly happened here?"
Silver Wolf arrived last, her face grim. She felt a strange sense of familiarity with the place.
"Is everyone here?"
Suddenly, a female voice spoke, which no one had expected.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and their gazes finally settled on the back of a pink-haired girl.
"March, was that you speaking just now?" Xing asked, scratching his head.
"it's me."
A clear, cold voice rang out in March. She slowly turned around, revealing a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face. Most striking were her red eyes.
"March, what happened to your eyes?!" Xing asked with some concern when she saw that March looked very different from usual.
Could it be that it was hit in the head during the battle with God Sunday?!
The aloof version of March 7th glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.
She looked around at everyone, crossed her arms, and said softly, "There is no time left. Let me tell you what this thing that shrouds everything here is called—the Mist of Mystery."
..........
Lin Yuan stood at the highest point of Night City, looking down at the dazzling city below.
The long journey eventually comes to an end. Before achieving his great goal, he chose to humble himself and personally experience this extraordinary place.
From the top of the building, he leaped into the crowd.
............
Chapter 334 Dream of Mystery
Walking along the wide but somewhat dirty and messy street, Lin Yuan observed the pedestrians with great interest.
The people here always gave him a strange sense of contradiction. Their impoverished clothing was paired with a free and wealthy spirit; the infrastructure was neat, yet the city streets were dirty and chaotic; the roads were clearly planned, yet the vehicles didn't follow the rules.
Order and disorder blend together here, yet it appears vibrant and full of life.
As the sun sets, the entire city begins to light up with dazzling neon lights, presenting a different appearance compared to the daytime.
Daytime has its rules, and nighttime has its order; under the neon lights, each person's life defines its own boundaries.
Lin Yuan weaved through the streets, merging into the sea of people.
He heard a sound ahead and stopped in his tracks. Before him was an open-air music stage.
On stage, a girl dressed in a rock-style outfit with chicken wings held a guitar and sang in a low, slow voice:
Feel the rhythm of the streets (feel the flashing neon lights on the streets)
Neon lights and neon dreams (just like my unattainable light and dreams)
They have bloody fists but feel no pain.
When there's so much more to gain (only for the sake of acquiring more wealth and fame)
Lin Yuan nodded slightly to the rhythm of the music, his mind completely absorbed in it. But suddenly a loud explosion rang out in the distance, accompanied by flames shooting into the sky.
He looked around and found that the people around him were still moving to the beat, as if they were used to it.
With a leap, Lin Yuan was already standing on the rooftop next to the stage.
In the distance, surrounded by tall buildings, a heavy armored vehicle, fully loaded with hunters, was seen rushing towards the company headquarters.
Amidst the flames, the company headquarters' main entrance was blown apart. A fully armed gray-haired girl and her companions stormed into the building, determined to settle things with the company today and burn the city to ashes.
Hunting season, if you will.
Tell me where you'd rather be.
I can hardly see the moon.
Hope we'll get there pretty soon.
The song still echoed in his ears, and Lin Yuan couldn't help but fall silent.
This complex city ultimately faced its most violent resistance; history seems to repeat itself, and so does humanity. Such is human nature—a mixture of goodwill and malice, encompassing everything.
Destructive urges, protective instincts, a sense of community, love, hate, greed, and desire—these are just a small part of human nature. It's complex, but also fascinating.
As for how to develop it, that depends entirely on the individual.
"Since you have the power, why not let them do things your way?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from beside him. Lin Yuan turned his head abruptly and was met with a face—himself.
Another Lin Yuan stood beside him, a detached smile on his face. That face was exactly the same as his, except that his eyes were devoid of warmth, only an eternal calm.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuan asked.
“I am you,” the other Lin Yuan replied softly.
"I am what you are about to become, the crowned you. No hesitation, no pain, no confusion. Only the new order and ideals for the preservation of all beings."
Lin Yuan silently gazed at the distant flames and the back of the gray-haired girl, who had already broken through the guards and rushed into the building.
“You saw that world,” the other Lin Yuan continued.
"No destiny, no star gods, no supernatural beings—everyone can rely on their own strength to resist, fight, and change. Isn't this the normal world you've always wanted?"
"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.
"Then keep going. As long as you keep going, no one can stop us. The will of all beings will lift you up and spread your light throughout the universe. All the weak will be under your protection, and every place will become like Pinocchio—without gods, only people."
"And then?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked. The other Lin Yuan paused slightly.
"Then, they will be like this city."
