Chapter 144: The Testimony of Eternal Falsehood
📜 Act I: A Voice Distorted
Ne Job was patrolling the Chamber of Eternal Testimonies when Twinkle buzzed nervously.
The glowing witnesses faltered, their voices trembling, their truths echoing strangely.
Ao Bing frowned. "That's not testimony. That's deception."
Taiyi Zhenren muttered, "Unprofessional."
Lord Xian appeared, grave.
> "Interns, beware. The Mask of Misrule seeks to forge a Testimony of Eternal Falsehood. If it rises, truth itself will collapse."

🧠 Act II: The Villains' Plot
The Bureau of Misrule had devised their most dangerous scheme yet.
Their plan: corrupt testimonies, turning truth into lies, loyalty into betrayal, and courage into recklessness.
- A testimony of friendship twisted into deceit.
- A testimony of patience twisted into stagnation.
- A testimony of courage twisted into recklessness.
Ao Bing clenched his fists. "We'll stop him!"
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted the evidence.
Ne Job whispered, "We must defend truth."
Twinkle pulsed softly.

🎭 Act III: The Chamber in Peril
The interns entered the Chamber's central hall.
Witnesses glowed faintly, their truths faltering, as a dark scroll rose from the floor — jagged, shadowed, crowned with broken inscriptions.
The Mask of Misrule appeared, his cracked mask shimmering with cruel laughter.
He hissed:
> "The Testimony of Eternal Falsehood will overwrite all truths. The Bureau will fall."
Ao Bing hurled thunderfruit sparks.
Taiyi Zhenren annotated his tricks.
Glimmer giggled nervously.
Ne Job stepped forward.
He whispered, "Testimonies are not lies. They are harmony."
Twinkle hummed faintly.
The scroll trembled.

🧵 Act IV: The Confrontation
The Chamber erupted in chaos.
Witnesses twisted into false figures, whispering lies, erasing truths.
Ao Bing stumbled.
Taiyi Zhenren trembled.
Glimmer cried softly.
Ne Job unrolled Miracle #730-T — the Chamber of Eternal Testimonies.
The scroll pulsed.
Remembrance resonated.
The witnesses faltered.
Their corruption cracked.
Their glow returned.
The Testimony of Eternal Falsehood trembled.
Its shadow dissolved.
The Mask faltered.
His disguise cracked further.

🌈 Act V: The Resolution
The Testimony of Eternal Falsehood dissolved.
The Chamber glowed.
The witnesses pulsed with new life.
Ao Bing laughed kindly.
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted truth.
Glimmer hugged Ne Job.
Twinkle hummed triumphantly.
The Mask fled into the shadows.
His voice echoed:
> "You may win today. But masks always return."
Lord Xian's voice echoed faintly:
> "Intern Ne Job, you have defended the Chamber against falsehood. Well done."
