Chapter 151: The Gallery of Infinite Reflections
đȘ Act I: A Corridor of Mirrors
Ne Job was patrolling the Archive when Twinkle buzzed nervously.Â
A corridor opened, lined with mirrors, each shimmering faintly, reflecting both truth and illusion.Â
Ao Bing frowned. "That's not paradox. That's reflection."Â
Taiyi Zhenren muttered, "Unprofessional."Â
Lord Xian appeared, grave.Â
> "Interns, this is the Gallery of Infinite Reflections. Mirrors here reveal both truth and illusion. The Mask of Misrule seeks to twist them into endless deception. You must journey inside."

đ§ Act II: The Villains' Plot
The Bureau of Misrule had devised their next scheme.Â
Their plan: corrupt reflections, turning truth into illusion, loyalty into betrayal, and courage into recklessness.Â
- A reflection of friendship twisted into deceit.Â
- A reflection of patience twisted into stagnation.Â
- A reflection of courage twisted into recklessness.Â
Ao Bing clenched his fists. "We'll protect them!"Â
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted the evidence.Â
Ne Job whispered, "We must restore reflections."Â
Twinkle pulsed softly.

đ Act III: Entering the Gallery
The interns stepped through the corridor.Â
They found themselves in a vast hall filled with mirrors, each shimmering faintly, reflecting both truth and illusion.Â
Ao Bing stumbled as a mirror of laughter faltered.Â
Taiyi Zhenren trembled as a mirror of patience dimmed.Â
Glimmer cried softly at a mirror of courage fading.Â
Ne Job whispered, "Reflections are not chaos. They are harmony."Â
Twinkle hummed faintly.Â
The Gallery glowed.

đ§” Act IV: The Confrontation
The Mask of Misrule appeared among the shimmering mirrors.Â
His cracked mask shimmered with cruel laughter.Â
He hissed:Â
> "The Gallery is mine. Reflections will serve chaos."Â
Ao Bing hurled thunderfruit sparks.Â
Taiyi Zhenren annotated his tricks.Â
Glimmer giggled, distracting him.Â
Ne Job unrolled Miracle #800-C â the Paradox of Eternal Chaos.Â
The scroll pulsed.Â
Remembrance resonated.Â
The mirrors trembled.Â
Their corruption cracked.Â
Their glow returned.Â
The Mask faltered.Â
His disguise cracked further.Â

đ Act V: The Resolution
The Gallery of Infinite Reflections stabilized.Â
The mirrors pulsed with new life, illusions dissolved into harmony.Â
Ao Bing laughed kindly.Â
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted truth.Â
Glimmer hugged Ne Job.Â
Twinkle hummed triumphantly.Â
The Mask fled into the shadows.Â
His voice echoed:Â
> "You may win today. But masks always return."Â
Lord Xian's voice echoed faintly:Â
> "Intern Ne Job, you have defended the Gallery of Infinite Reflections. Well done."

đ Epilogue: A New Registry Entry
The next morning, a new entry appeared in the Miracle Registry:
> Miracle #810-I: The Gallery of Infinite ReflectionsÂ
> Status: Defended, restored, unresolved.Â
> Effect: Teaches that reflections must resist illusion. Activated through courage and remembrance.Â
Ne Job added a note:
> "Some miracles are threatened by illusion. But reflections always restore harmony."
Twinkle hummed.Â
And somewhere in the Gallery, shadows lingered â but the interns were ready.
