Little Golden Dragon: 【Because your spiritual power is higher than theirs!】
“So?”
Little Golden Dragon: 【Since your spiritual power is higher, you can conceal your identity information. They can’t see it.】
Ruan Yaoyao immediately understood. “So their spiritual power is lower, which means their ‘ticket’ information can’t be hidden and is visible to me?”
Little Golden Dragon: 【Those with higher spiritual power naturally suppress those with lower spiritual power. And this is your home field. Don’t forget, this shard world is formed from Blue Star. Of course I’ll protect you.】
In short, when Ruan Yaoyao “traveled” here with her ticket, the Little Golden Dragon had masked her identity information.
So when Lianen Zok and the others used their detection device to scan her “invitation,” all they saw was hidden data.
Seeing hidden data, they immediately concluded she was a “distinguished guest.”
Since she was a “VIP,” ordinary staff naturally treated her politely. That was the real reason Ruan Yaoyao had been able to fool them so easily—she trusted the detector too much, and never considered that the awakened consciousness of Blue Star would protect its natives.
Or rather, they simply looked down on a first-tier civilization like Blue Star and its native beings.
Ruan Yaoyao felt displeased.
Just because Blue Star was weaker, did they think it was easy to bully? Something anyone could step on?
Damn it.
This so-called “small world”… it wasn’t small at all. It was clearly a piece forcibly torn from Blue Star.
When they couldn’t swallow it whole, they tore it apart piece by piece.
Piece after piece.
From the earlier mental hospital incident to this mirror world—no one knew how much had already been ripped away from Blue Star.
Little Golden Dragon: 【So you must keep working hard!】
Little Golden Dragon: 【My future depends on you now!】
Ruan Yaoyao replied gloomily, “Got it.”
Anyone who had lived their whole life as a “decorative vase” and suddenly learned they were now the “pillar” would feel overwhelmed.
And not just a family pillar—but the pillar of the entire Blue Star.
Sigh…
No choice but to rise to the occasion.
She glanced at the little golden dragon in her dantian and silently thought: I really just thought you were a dragon… I never expected you to be the consciousness of Blue Star.
That burden felt heavy. She’d have to report it when she returned.
Of course, the Little Golden Dragon didn’t know her thoughts. It had only just awakened, and its consciousness was still unstable—most of the time it remained asleep. Only in this mirror world had it stayed awake longer; once it returned to the real world, it would likely fall back into slumber.
After all, these beings were here for Blue Star’s “resources.” Wherever there was spiritual energy, they would fight over it.
And those places were what they called “small worlds.”
Earlier, Ruan Yaoyao had been unsure whether her “Soul-Pinning Talisman” would work, whether it could extract the souls of these outsiders.
But now, after seeing their tools, she finally relaxed.
Whether or not her talisman worked, they already had usable equipment—“restraint devices,” Soul-Pinning Guns, Soul-Sealing Orbs, all clearly designed for targeting souls.
If “restraint” worked on anomalies, it should work on them too, right?
What was the difference between them and anomalies anyway? One was called a “spiritual entity,” the other an “abnormal spirit.”
At the core, they were the same thing—just normal version and corrupted version.
To put it simply: spiritual entities were “normal humans,” while anomalies were mutated “madmen.”
Ruan Yaoyao activated “Restraint” on Lianen Zok using his ticket.
A black hook-like force appeared out of thin air and shot toward his body.
A translucent soul was instantly hooked and dragged out of the body.
Her pupils faintly turned golden, allowing her to clearly see the soul’s true form.
If the body looked like a pure native of Xia Country, the soul showed traces of white ancestry, but with antenna-like protrusions on its head instead of hair.
Looking closely, there seemed to be eyes on them—like single-eyed snakes. It was unsettling.
Fortunately, those eyes were closed, as if sleeping. Otherwise, she would’ve gotten goosebumps.
For a moment, she seemed to understand why her daughter couldn’t accept Wenren Hanmo.
In novels, human–monster romance might look thrilling and passionate…
But in reality, it was terrifying.
Like the uncanny valley effect: the more human something looks while not being human, the more disturbing it becomes.
The closer it is, the scarier it feels.
Ruan Yaoyao quickly looked away and focused on the next target, Picol Weiz.
“Restrain!”
Nothing happened.
She froze. What?
Weren’t these things working just now?
After checking the instructions, she realized: it could only restrain one target at a time.
Then what if she encountered a group of anomalies?
Her eyes landed on the Soul-Pinning Gun and Soul-Sealing Orb.
The gun was silver-white, sleek, futuristic, and highly technological-looking. It even automatically adjusted its size to fit the user’s hand.
She aimed it at Lianen Zok and pressed.
The gun prompted: “Warning: Soul-Sealing Orb not loaded. Cannot operate!”
Repeated three times.
Ruan Yaoyao silently brought the fist-sized orb closer, trying to see if it would auto-load.
When it approached, the gun made a “zing” sound, as if an electromagnetic current activated, and instantly pulled the orb onto its top.
The orb began rotating, glowing brilliantly with flowing light.
Inside it, countless tiny black dots writhed like living beings, screaming and trying to escape.
But each attempt was pulled back by the orb’s force, shrinking into even smaller dots.
She aimed again at Lianen Zok and pressed the trigger.
A white beam shot out, instantly pulling him into the orb.
He turned into a tiny black dot.
Ruan Yaoyao felt a chill down her spine.
Holy—
So it really worked?
And if each black dot was a soul…
Then how many were inside this orb?
Were they all anomalies?
Or… were some of them normal people?
Her hands trembled slightly.
This thing was far too dangerous. She definitely couldn’t handle it.
She needed to hand it over.
