   The Search for Truth Amidst the Fog of Code Autumn rain slanted across the glass curtain wall of the Xinghua Legal Service Center in Qingshan County. Yao Chungang, clutching his soaked clothes, his eyes filled with anxiety and indignation, slammed a stack of documents onto the table. "Director Qu, they copied my software, and they're still denying it!" He slammed the edges of the documents down, dark stains left by the rain. Yao Chungang is an independent software developer who spent two years developing an office software called "Smart Document Manager." Thanks to its efficient file categorization and encryption functions, it had gained a good reputation in the small and medium-sized enterprise market. However, three months ago, he discovered that "Intelligent Office Assistant," launched by Qingshan Ren'ai Electronic Information Co., Ltd., Was highly similar to his software in both interface layout and core functions. What angered him even more was that when he questioned them, Ren'ai refused to respond, citing "independent research and development." "We tried technical comparison, but the other party's software has multiple layers of encryption, making it impossible to directly extract the code," Yao Chungang's voice trembled slightly. "They even refused to provide the software source code!" Zhang Caijiao immediately turned on the computer and began organizing the software usage records, development logs, and other evidence brought by Yao Chungang; Zhou Wanfa pulled up relevant legal provisions, his gaze lingering on the key points of the judgment for a long time: "In the case where the defendant refuses to provide the program and it cannot be directly read, if it can be proven that the design flaws are the same..." Qu Chengshun frowned and convened the team for discussion. Zhang Zhongmin drew a timeline on the whiteboard: "The key is to find the unique, unnecessary design flaws of the two software programs; this may become the key breakthrough." Dai Shilong added: "We also need to prove that Mr. Yao's software development time was earlier." Fang Mei raised her camera to record the discussion scene: "This battle without visible code is too newsworthy." In the courtroom, the atmosphere was tense. Renai Company's lawyer argued forcefully: "The plaintiff has no direct evidence to prove the code is the same; accusing them of infringement based solely on functional similarity is completely without legal basis." When the judge requested that they provide the software source code for comparison, the defendant flatly refused, citing "trade secrets." When it was Qu Chengshun's turn to speak, a comparison screen appeared on the projector: "Look, both software programs experience random stuttering when processing compressed files exceeding 10GB; in the batch renaming function, both mistakenly identify content within parentheses as file extensions—these are not common industry problems, but unique design flaws." He turned to the defendant's seat, "We have exhausted all technical means and still cannot obtain the program of the allegedly infringing software. According to the key points of the judgment, when the defendant refuses to provide the source code without a justifiable reason, these design flaws are sufficient to prove that the two software programs are substantially identical!" After several rounds of cross-examination, the court ultimately adopted Qu Chengshun's viewpoint. The judgment stated that because Ren'ai Company refused to provide the software source code or object code, and the two software programs were essentially identical in terms of design flaws, considering the plaintiff's difficulty in providing evidence, Ren'ai Company's "Intelligent Office Assistant" and Yao Chungang's "Smart Document Manager" were deemed substantially identical, and Ren'ai Company was ordered to immediately cease infringement and compensate for economic losses. On the day he received the judgment, Yao Chungang stood silently by the window of the legal service center for a long time. Fang Mei's report, "Invisible Infringement: When Code Becomes Evidence," caused a stir in the industry, and many developers spontaneously organized a software copyright protection alliance. When Qu Chengshun presented this case at a legal education lecture, he said, "The scales of justice will never tilt because of the fog of technology. The wisdom behind every line of code deserves respect and protection." Outside the window, the rain had stopped sometime earlier, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, refracting golden light onto the glass curtain wall.

    After the ritual for the Heavenly Ruler's strange transformation in the third episode concluded, I put the ruler away, and a sudden sharp pain shot through my fingertips. Looking down, I saw that the runes on the ruler, usually dull and lifeless, were now gleaming with a faint golden light. "Sister Ren, what's wrong?" My assistant, Chen Shi, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his modified tablet computer flashing various data. This hacker, who claimed to be Laozi's alchemy apprentice, always managed to perfectly combine modern technology and metaphysics. I shook my head: "It's nothing, probably just too much spiritual energy depletion." But I knew in my heart that the Heavenly Ruler's anomaly was no accident. Since my master passed this ruler to me, it had never reacted like this. Inside the room, Huang Qiang's family was surrounding Huang Xiaohua, expressing their gratitude. Huang Xiaohua held the Heavenly Gang Seal, soft white light flowing from it, stroking the purplish-blue finger marks on Huang Qiang's neck. She was the healer in our team; her seemingly ordinary hands could heal most supernatural injuries. "Teacher Ren, thank you so much!" Wang Li shook my hand repeatedly. "Look, the marks on my son's neck are almost gone..." I was about to reply when my pupils suddenly contracted—the finger marks on Huang Qiang's neck hadn't disappeared; instead, they had formed faint red patterns under his skin, like some kind of ancient talisman! "Don't move!" I shouted sharply, stopping Huang Qiang's movements. I took two steps forward, grabbed his chin, and carefully examined the patterns. The moment my fingertips touched his skin, the Heavenly Ruler vibrated violently at my waist. "What's wrong?" Zhang Yulong immediately became alert, his peach wood sword, tempered for many years, was drawn with a "clang," and faint lightning crackled across its blade. This young swordsman colleague, though impetuous, was not to be underestimated. Python Heavenly Flower and Python Heavenly Phoenix also quickly approached. The Yin-Yang Mirror in Mang Tianhua's hand was aimed at Huang Qiang's neck, its surface rippling; Mang Tianfeng held the Demon-Slaying Sword horizontally, the fine scales on its blade shimmering in the lamplight—these two immortals, flowing with the blood of the ancient serpent race, were the strongest force in our team. "This isn't over yet," I said in a deep voice, my fingers tracing the hot runes on the Heavenly Ruler. "Although the female ghost mother is gone, the curse she left behind remains. This is the Three Lifetimes Curse, not so easily broken." As I spoke, Huang Qiang suddenly convulsed, his eyes rolled back, and he foamed at the mouth. Wang Li screamed and lunged forward, but was repelled by an invisible force. "Back off!" Mang Tianfeng shouted, the Demon-Slaying Sword drawing a perfect arc in the air. Where the blade passed, space seemed to be torn apart, revealing the twisted darkness behind. I clearly saw that all the fine scales on her wrist were now standing upright, gleaming with a bluish-green light. Huang Xiaohua immediately pressed the Heavenly Gang Seal onto Huang Qiang's forehead, but this time, the healing white light turned an eerie green the moment it touched his skin. "Not good!" She exclaimed, "The curse is resisting!" "Let me handle this!" Chen Shi suddenly pulled a metal disc from his backpack and threw it to the ground. The disc unfolded into a complex array pattern, with countless tiny points of light forming three-dimensional runes in the air. "This combines quantum computing and Qimen Dunjia..." "Enough nonsense, get to work!" Zhang Yulong impatiently interrupted him, pointing his peach wood sword at Huang Qiang's chest, "Lightning, come!" A thin bolt of lightning shot from the sword tip, striking Huang Qiang's Tanzhong acupoint on his chest. His body jolted violently, and a shrill, inhuman scream escaped his throat. At the same time, all the lights in the room went out, leaving only the Yin-Yang Mirror in Mang Tianhua's hand emitting a faint blue light. In the mirror, a scene we'd never seen before appeared—not the modern Huang Qiang, nor the dissolute playboy of the late Qing Dynasty, but a general in ancient armor, plunging a dagger into the heart of a woman in white! "The third life..." I murmured, "So there's a third life..." Before I could finish, the Heavenly Ruler suddenly flew from my hand, hovering above Huang Qiang's head, radiating golden light. The runes flowed like living things, forming a complex array. An ancient and majestic power surged from the ruler, fiercely clashing with the cursed patterns on Huang Qiang's neck. "This is..." Mang Tianfeng looked up in surprise, her Demon-Slaying Sword drooping involuntarily, "How could the Heavenly Ruler..." She couldn't finish her sentence. In the corner of the room, a shadow darker than the night suddenly erupted, rushing towards me with lightning speed! "Sister Ren, watch out!" Zhang Yulong reacted the fastest, slashing horizontally with his peach wood sword, lightning exploding. But the shadowy figure twisted eerily, slipping through the cracks in the lightning and aiming straight for my throat! At the critical moment, Python Heavenly Flower's Yin-Yang Mirror shifted in time, its light as tangible as a physical object, blocking the shadowy figure. "What kind of demon dares to ambush me!" She roared, the image in the mirror rapidly shifting, seemingly trying to reveal the shadowy figure's true form. The shadowy figure let out a piercing laugh, suddenly turning and grabbing the suspended Heavenly Ruler! "No!" I instinctively lunged forward, but the instant the shadowy figure touched the Heavenly Ruler, all the runes on the ruler simultaneously lit up with a blinding red light. The shadowy figure screamed, releasing its grip as if electrocuted, retreating to a corner. "The Heavenly Ruler... Shouldn't be in your hands..." The shadowy figure rasped, its voice seeming to come from a great distance, "The time hasn't come... The time hasn't come..." Python Heavenly Phoenix wouldn't give it a chance to breathe, its Demon-Slaying Sword slashing down with a sharp, piercing sound. Where the sword's edge passed, space itself seemed to be torn apart. The shadowy figure hastily dodged, but a small piece was still sliced off, falling to the ground and dissipating into black smoke. "Trying to run?" Chen Shi pressed a button on his tablet, and countless tiny laser beams suddenly lit up the room, forming a three-dimensional cage. "This is my improved 'Heavenly Net,' combining..." The shadowy figure roared angrily, suddenly turning towards the window. Just as it was about to shatter the glass, my fellow Daoist priest finally made his move. He had been standing quietly to the side, gently waving his seemingly ordinary whisk. "Freeze." Every hair on the whisk lit up, and countless fine, hair-like rays of light arrived first, binding the shadowy figure. The shadowy figure struggled violently, but could not break free. "Speak!" I picked up the Heavenly Ruler and pointed it at the shadowy figure. "Who are you? Why did you attack me? What do you mean by 'the Heavenly Ruler shouldn't be in my hands'?" The shadowy figure let out an eerie laugh: "You thought it was over? The Three Lives' Curse is just the beginning... The Heavenly Ruler will choose its true master... When the Blood Moon arrives..." The Taoist priest frowned, his whisk tightening sharply. The shadowy figure let out a shrill scream, then vanished like smoke. The room fell into a deathly silence, broken only by Huang Qiang's faint groans, reminding us that everything that had just happened was real. I looked down at the Heavenly Ruler in my hand; the runes had returned to calm, but I knew something had been awakened. I looked up at my team members; everyone's expression was unusually grave. "It seems," I took a deep breath, "we're in deep trouble." The scales on Mang Tianfeng's wrist were still faintly glowing. She stared at the Heavenly Ruler in my hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Ren Shan, this ruler... You've never told us its origins." I opened my mouth, but didn't know where to begin. Because even I myself didn't know all the secrets of the Heavenly Ruler. Outside the window, a blood moon was quietly rising.
