[That's cool! But I thought you'd act all innocent this time.]

[The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Do you want me to fool the military? I still have some self-awareness.] Back in the dormitory, Lian Han lay on the bed and replied.

So she quickly pinpointed the problem, punished her directly, and then disappeared, leaving the Federation to think what it wants. It would be even better if she could be considered a supervisor.

"[You're quite self-aware. Tell me, how many people have you deprived of their sight?]" Old Xing asked curiously.

From Lian Han's perspective, the area affected by that shower of light was clearly not limited to the vicinity of the research institute.

[Not many.] Lian Han paused for a moment. [Just about half the population of the Imperial Capital Star. If anyone happened to be in the wasteland, they're lucky.]

Old Xing: ...You call that not much?

The Imperial Capital can be roughly divided into two regions: the Imperial Capital, inhabited by humans, and the wasteland, inhabited by alien beasts, each occupying roughly half of the total area.

So she just blinded everyone on the capital planet in one fell swoop? Won't the capital planet descend into chaos? Is she trying to make an enemy of the Federation?

Having roughly guessed his thoughts, Lian Han said leisurely, "[It's not that serious. They can't see it for now, but they'll be able to see it again when it gets light. It's just that they'll be affected a bit, like not being able to see colors anymore.]"

[How did you do that?]

Color vision deprivation? When did this girl come up with this new trick?

[A sudden thought. Why can humans see objects and perceive various colors?]

Lian Han answered his own question, "[Because the light reached people's eyes. I merely left a bit of the power of rules in their eyes. Even light has varying intensity, and the light of rules is enough to eliminate colored light.]"

Are you really that sure?

[Before using it on them, I tried it on myself, and the world instantly turned black and white.]

[...You're amazing!] Old Xing gave a thumbs up, then asked, [Aren't you afraid that if the rules are left on them, someone will break them? Or absorb them directly?]

[You said it yourself, that it involves god-like power, and no one can trace its origin.]

Old Xing: ...So it turns out this was his fault after all.

[Furthermore, under the Butterfly Shadow card's effect, I had a feeling, a very mysterious one, but I just knew—in this world, only Butterfly Shadow possesses the Light attribute.]

Light, and only light can touch it.

Old Xing paused for a moment, then said, "[This is the divine-level's innate sensitivity to the rules. In that case, you can use the Rule of Light with peace of mind from now on.]"

However, once the research institute issues its punishment, she'll probably retract the rule. [Okay. I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up in the morning.]

Knowing that using the God-level card was extremely taxing on her mind, Old Man Xing didn't stop her.

Given what just happened, it's uncertain whether the class will even be able to proceed. He's eager to see how the military will handle this matter.

If he were to lay a hand on the experimental subjects at the research institute, he would thoroughly enrage the girl. Thinking this, Old Man Xing felt a sense of anticipation.

He was once a soldier, and he devoted himself to the Federation and was loyal to his comrades. But what was the result?

He is now nothing but a lonely soul, while his former comrades-in-arms have all risen to high positions of power. His death was directly orchestrated by them.

With his death, his loyalty to the Federation also died. While he wouldn't necessarily turn against the Federation and the military, it's conceivable that unless it concerns a matter of life and death for humanity, he would be unwilling to have any further contact with the military.

He didn't encourage the girl to go against the military; he had already done more than enough...

Lian Han hadn't slept for long when he was woken up by a knock on the door. Rubbing his eyes, he opened the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Lian Han, I can't see anymore, what about yours?" Ye Ying, like a frightened bird, pounced on Lian Han as soon as he opened the door.

"We can't see it either. But we still have spiritual power, right?"

"Oh right." Ye Ying realized, extending her spiritual power to "see" Lian Han, and her emotions stabilized somewhat. "But why did he suddenly go blind? There were still voices in my head just now. What kind of person has such powerful spiritual power that they can directly penetrate into a person's sea of ​​consciousness?"

"Huh? I heard that too. Was she saying something about darkness spreading, incompetent rulers, and punishment?"

Lian Han pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed, looking quite serious.

“Yes, yes, that’s it. There’s another line after it, saying we should respect life, and if we do it again, it won’t be so easy.” Yozakura said, her eyes already red. “Is someone being punished for disregarding life?”

"I don't know. Let's wait and see, we'll talk about it when it's light. It's definitely not just us; the school or the Federation will surely give us an explanation." As he spoke, Lian Han couldn't help but yawn.

"Lian Han, are you sleepy?"

"As you know, I had absolutely no background in armor making before. I was reading on Skynet, about to take a break, when I was suddenly forced offline, and then—I couldn't see anything anymore. It must be past four in the morning now. I haven't slept all night, so I'm sleepy."

"Then you go to sleep, and I'll sit here and watch over you, okay?" Ye Ying paused for a moment, then added, "I'm scared, I don't dare to go back to my room alone."

Seeing her pitiful and helpless appearance, Lian Han felt guilty.

Her intention was not to let the Federation deal with the matter perfunctorily, so she had to let the public know. After thinking it over, she realized that this was the only way to incite public resentment towards the Federation and force the Federation to resolve the matter.

But because of her decision, Yozakura is certainly not the only one who is worried and afraid, after all—the public is the most innocent.

Lian Han's voice softened considerably, "You can't sleep well either if you look at me, how about we sleep together? It's four in the morning, you must not have slept well either."
