Chapter 325: Chapter 325: False Signatures
Qin Mo named the new plan badly.
He called it:
Multi-Layered False Tool Resonance Attribution Confusion Strategy.
Qin Wanshan stared at the board.
"Shorten it."
Qin Mo looked offended. "It is descriptive."
"Shorten it."
After several painful minutes, Lin Xian’er suggested a cleaner name through projection:
False Signature Veil.
Everyone accepted it immediately.
Qin Mo complained for ten minutes.
The idea was simple but difficult.
Every time Qin Yuheng used a rare countermeasure, enemies learned its resonance. Golden Bud had escaped a partial profile. Dawn Benevolence had tested gratitude protections. Mirror Line Four had signaled the existence of a mirror-shattering tool.
Therefore, future operations needed to obscure which item caused which effect.
Instead of letting enemies detect:
False Road Mirror Shattering Lamp,
Self That Cannot Be Owned Core,
Gratitude Without Chains Heart,
Road-Key Resonance Dampening Bell,
Bell-Sword Echo Severance,
they would wrap activations inside overlapping false signatures from lower-grade tools, decoy arrays, and environmental interference.
Qin Mo built the first prototype using:
Echo Soldier Core powder from Floor 133.
Mirror Shard Bundle from Floor 135.
Soft Debt Bracelet Detector resonance residue.
A controlled fragment of the Public Truth Resonance Mirror’s light.
Silent Heaven masking dust.
The result:
[False Signature Veil Prototype]
[Grade: S+]
[Effect:
Masks the exact source of anti-binding, anti-echo, anti-road-mirror, or anti-gratitude countermeasure activation.
Creates overlapping false tool signatures.
Warning:
Unstable under high-level observation.]
Qin Yuheng studied it.
"Useful, but not enough."
Qin Mo sighed. "I knew you would say that."
Qin Yuheng placed the prototype before him and activated Primordial Origin Evolution.
[Primordial Origin Evolution activated.]
[Target:
S+ Grade False Signature Veil Prototype]
[Available Evolution Paths:]
1. Quantity Multiplication
- Possible Result:
False Signature Veil Prototype x???
- Useful for multiple operations, but instability remains.
2. Quality Enhancement
- Possible Result:
SSS Grade Sovereign Countermeasure Signature Veil
- Greatly improves masking against hostile resonance study.
3. Talent Evolution
- Locked.]
There was no hesitation this time.
Quality.
[Quality Enhancement successful.]
[SSS Grade Sovereign Countermeasure Signature Veil]
[Effect:
Masks the true source of protective countermeasures during activation.
Generates plausible alternate tool signatures.
Reduces enemy ability to profile Qin Yuheng’s unique protection pattern.
Can cover small-team operations within limited range.]
Qin Mo looked at the item and muttered, "I forgive the naming insult."
This changed the next operation.
Mirror Line Five had likely received warning. They would prepare for the False Road Mirror Shattering Lamp, possibly counter it. But if Qin Yuheng used layered tools under the Signature Veil, enemies might misread the countermeasure.
The target location came from the captured examiner after careful interrogation.
Line Five was not stationary.
It was moving toward Hollow Child Bridge, an old stone bridge over a dry gorge. According to Jiang records, the bridge once marked a harmless training road. But during false road periods, bridges became symbolic transition points.
Dangerous for child-key tests.
The coalition moved before dawn.
This time, Qin Yuheng allowed a decoy team to be seen carrying a fake mirror-breaking lamp. Lin Xian’er’s agents leaked a controlled rumor that the lamp needed line-of-sight and three breaths to activate.
False.
The real plan used the Child Future Sovereignty Veil, Consent Under Pressure Detection Mirror, and False Signature Veil.
At Hollow Child Bridge, the enemy was waiting.
Not hiding.
A group of gray-robed examiners stood on the bridge with nine children. The children were not bound, not sedated, not crying.
They stood calmly.
Too calmly.
The lead examiner raised his voice.
"Candidate Qin, we know your lamp. If you step closer, the bridge mirrors will collapse inward and the children will suffer resonance backlash."
Qin Mo whispered, "They bought the leak."
Qin Yuheng stepped forward slowly.
"You know one tool."
The examiner smiled.
"One is enough."
No.
It was not.
The bridge stones lit up. Mirror fragments embedded beneath them reflected the children’s feet, not faces. This was a different method.
Qin Mo identified it.
"Path-step resonance. They are not making children touch mirrors. They are making each step a consent record."
The children had been walking the bridge back and forth, creating false voluntary road imprint.
Qin Yuheng’s eyes chilled.
The Consent Under Pressure Detection Mirror revealed yellow-red pressure. Not direct force, but ritual conditioning.
The False Signature Veil activated.
To enemy senses, a lamp-like resonance appeared on the left.
The examiners reacted, deploying counter-lamp shields.
Qin Yuheng used the real countermeasure through the ground: Road-Key Resonance Dampening Bells placed by Qin Lian beneath bridge supports.
The bridge mirrors flickered.
The examiners realized too late.
Qin Yuchen led a rush to secure the children. Qin Lian cut mirror-step threads. Qin Mo activated a rotating resonance disruption pattern.
The lead examiner tried to trigger backlash.
The Sovereign Countermeasure Signature Veil hid the exact suppression source.
His trigger misfired.
Three mirror-step anchors exploded harmlessly into gray dust.
The children were pulled away safely.
Qin Yuheng faced the lead examiner.
This one was stronger than the previous.
[Bridge Road Examiner]
Combat Equivalent:
Level 67
Specialty:
Path-step consent forging, bridge transition resonance, child-key imprint.]
The fight took place on the bridge itself.
Each step Qin Yuheng took tried to record his path. The examiner wanted data—not just victory. Qin Yuheng used Star-Iron Impact Bearing resonance from his Command Weapon Embryo to anchor his steps without leaving usable road imprint.
The examiner’s expression changed.
"You carry an unshaped command weapon."
Qin Yuheng’s gaze sharpened.
The enemy had observed too much.
He ended the fight quickly.
Bell-Sword Echo Severance cut the examiner’s false consent chants. Qin Yuheng struck with compressed thunder and shattered the bridge transition rod.
The examiner was captured alive.
No signal escaped.
For once, the operation was clean.
Mirror Line Five fell.
But the victory revealed a new danger.
The examiner had recognized the Command Weapon Embryo.
Not by bloodline.
By road weight.
If the enemy began studying the weapon too, Qin Yuheng would need to protect not only his talents and family.
But also the future shape of his weapon.
