Chapter 168: Finale Prologue: Smoke in the Graffiti



"Yes, sir!" Sanbao Su Yu instantly forgot his fear, his face flushing with excitement! Driving a cloud boat! Catching the bad guys! Raiding the lair of broken toys! This mission was more exciting than inspecting the tank, catching the bad chickens, and playing music combined! He immediately rushed to his cloud boat "dock," begging A-Luo to put on his most impressive "Inspection Captain" uniform (a small vest).

**Section 3: The Intimidation of Plaything Puppets and the Dominance of Plasticine**

The actions of the General's Mansion were like thunder!

The Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court received the utterly detailed list and irrefutable evidence. Considering the wrath of the demonic spirit in the General's Mansion and the unfathomable background of His Highness Ling, how could they dare to neglect it? They united with the City Defense Department and the Secret Guards, and with all-out force, they descended upon every target on the list!

Beiyu Longchang, the largest fur trader in the imperial city, was shut down, its owner and his Beidi entourage caught red-handed in a secret room handing over stolen money. Wang, the shopkeeper of the Jiangnan Su Embroidery Workshop, collapsed upon seeing the descending officers and the irrefutable evidence projected by the Chenbao Abacus that he had secretly tampered with shipping records. In the backyard cellar of the southern Xinjiang pharmacy Baicaotang, a "Hundred Poisons Boy" was found carving a Gu curse, along with piles of poisonous wood. The official in the Ministry of Works was dismissed from his position in the government office. The scraps of "star-patterned steel" found in his home perfectly matched the mechanism of the exquisite ball mechanism.

Meanwhile, Sanbao Su Yu's Rainbow Cloud Boat (equipped with an oversized, "specialized" suction arm and explosion-proof recovery chamber, gleaming with confiscation runes), coordinated by elite palace guards, descended like a divine force, precisely bombing (both physically and aura-wise) one black market toy workshop and secret warehouse after another. Wherever the Cloud Boat passed, "toxic toys" and their production lines were uprooted, leaving those implicated in the tragedies crying out for help. The underworld of the royal city underwent an unprecedented purge targeting the baby and children's products industry!

The action was swift and decisive, and the results were remarkable. However, the General's Office knew that the spies in the four countries were like centipedes; even if one claw was cut off, the root would be invulnerable. A sharper sword of Damocles, hanging over everyone's head, was needed to completely sever the ruthless hand reaching out to Lingbao!

Just as the seizure operation reached its climax, the General's Mansion issued an unprecedentedly harsh announcement, "read" by the Poison Tongue System himself. Its cold and ruthless electronic sound resounded throughout every corner of the Royal City, and simultaneously scrolled across the remains of all the confiscated "toxic toys":

**【《Zero Prince’s Ultimate Safe Space Protection Ordinance》**

**[Core Prohibition:** It is strictly forbidden to bring any items that have not been certified by the General's Mansion Special Items and Biological Management Committee (formerly the Pickle Jar Protection Association) into the ten-foot radius around His Highness Ling Su Ling in any form (including but not limited to giving, abandoning, or smuggling). Violators will be considered the highest level of threat to His Highness Ling's life and safety! **]**

**[Newly added ultimate deterrent clause:** Anyone who violates the above prohibitions (including planning, execution, and assistance) will be subject to the ultimate punishment by this system, regardless of their status, once verified - **being sentenced to serve as His Highness Zero's 'playmate puppet' for one hundred years!**]

**【Penalty details:** 】

1. **Form Solidification:** The punished person's soul will be imprisoned in a specially made puppet body (provided by this system, material: Northern Di Xuanbing mixed with Southern Xinjiang rotten wood, appearance: the ugly cute puppet designated by His Highness Zero).**

2. **Absolute obedience:** The puppet must unconditionally obey all of His Majesty Zero's orders (including but not limited to being bitten, thrown, used as a cushion, forced to hum out of tune, having their face painted, etc.).**

3. **Perception Enhancement:** The puppet's perception system will be enhanced, allowing it to clearly feel the touch of being bitten, the vibration of being thrown, the stickiness of being spitted on... and it cannot be turned off.**

4. **Time Eternity:** The punishment lasts for 100 years, regardless of the external time flow. Any damage to the puppet will be repaired free of charge by this system (with a soul-tearing sensation during the process).**

5. **Title Binding:** The punished person will receive the title of "Eternal Playmate" (soul bound, visible in reincarnation).**

**【Effective scope: Immediate, covering all the heavens and the universe, causal tracing, and mandatory execution!】**

**[Attachment: Partial list of the first batch of candidates for "Eternal Playmates": Hu Yanlie's follower (Beidi), Liu Yunniang (Xiling), Baidu Tongzi (Nanjiang), Li Yuanwai of the Ministry of Works (Donghuang)... More lists will be updated continuously.]**

As soon as the announcement came out, the whole world was shocked!

Become Zero's playmate for a hundred years? And the ugliest one at that? Get bitten and beaten, and have your senses enhanced? Damage requires soul-tearing repairs? And finally, reincarnate as "Eternal Playmate"?

This punishment… was more than just a bad taste! It was the ultimate humiliation and torture for the soul! Its horror far surpassed washing diapers, shoveling chicken poop, and listening to wailing! Imagine being turned into an ugly rag doll, being held and tormented by a baby for a hundred years… Everyone who heard the announcement, friend or foe, felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the very top of their heads!

The high-ranking officials of the four nations were completely speechless. This wasn't a warning, but a stark declaration of absolute strength: Lingbao Su Ling was the untouchable weak link in the General's Mansion! Anyone who dared to lay a hand on him would be made into an eternal toy!

In the posthouse district, at the Northern Di embassy's residence, Deputy Envoy Hu Yanlie looked at the name of his confidant on the list, then recalled the fate of his "eternal playmate." His face paled, and the bronze wine jug in his hand dropped to the ground with a clang. At Xiling Jingshe, the zither master Liu Wufeng (who had just finished tuning his zither) looked at his sister Liu Yunniang's name, his hand trembling, nearly snapping another string. At the Nanjiang Bamboo House, Granny Gu Yin looked at the name of "The Hundred Poison Boy," then recalled her own near-death experience as a "Listener of Howling," and a chill ran down her spine. At the Donghuang Ministry of Rites, a deathly silence fell. Mr. Li's colleagues gazed at his empty seat with fear in their eyes.
