The Familiar Voice Verification Pearl became useful almost immediately.

Three days after Floor 121, Qin Yuze received a voice transmission supposedly from Qin Feng.

"Come to the east training yard. Your brother wants to test your second talent privately."

Qin Yuze almost moved.

Then his new training rules made him pause.

He used the pearl.

False.

The voice was familiar but lacked soul rhythm.

He reported it.

The transmission source dissolved before Gu Tianhe’s people arrived, but the attempt revealed a new method: familiar voice lure.

Qin Yuze looked angry.

"They used Uncle Feng’s voice."

Qin Feng was more offended.

"My voice should not be so easy to imitate."

Qin Mo said, "That is not the main issue."

"It is one issue."

The Familiar Voice Verification Pearl was copied in diluted form for core family members.

Qin Xue’er made a game of testing voices.

Qin Mo failed once because he intentionally imitated Qin Feng badly.

She laughed for ten minutes.

The family needed laughter.

Because the attacks had become intimate.

Names.

Faces.

Voices.

Dreams.

Children.

Futures.

Blood Sun was not merely trying to kill.

It tried to enter trust.

The Qin family responded by strengthening verification without destroying warmth.

This was important. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Too much suspicion could make a family cold.

Too little could let enemies in.

The House of Living Roots Crystal helped maintain balance.

Floor 122 file arrived.

[Floor 122: The Choir of Borrowed Voices]

Type:

Voice identity / command imitation / song binding / social trust.

Estimated Duration:

3 Tower days.

Warning:

A voice may open doors a face cannot.]

Qin Mo threw the file onto the table.

"Of course."

The floor opened in a city where voices could be traded, stolen, and sung into commands. People trusted voices more than faces. A stolen mother’s voice could call a child home. A stolen commander’s voice could move soldiers. A stolen healer’s voice could calm patients into sleep.

The mission required rescuing original voice owners and defeating the Choir Master of Borrowed Voices.

Qin Yuheng used the Familiar Voice Verification Pearl, True Name Protection Seal, and Command Echo tools. Qin Mo built resonance filters. Qin Lian traced stolen voice threads through echo shadows. Qin Yuchen protected civilians from false evacuation orders.

The boss used Qin Zhengyuan’s voice, Mu Qinglan’s voice, Qin Wanshan’s voice, and finally Qin Yuheng’s own voice.

"Open the gate," it said in Qin Yuheng’s voice.

Qin Yuheng answered, "A copied voice is not command."

The Chosen Road Banner Field pulsed.

The borrowed choir shattered.

SSS reward:

[SSS Grade True Voice Soul Resonance Bell]

[Effect:

Verifies voice identity through soul rhythm, intent trace, and consent resonance. Resists command imitation, familiar voice lures, and song-binding orders.]

This became a core family and academy security tool.

Yu Qingmei almost sighed with relief when she saw it.

"Your floors are solving problems just after they appear."

Qin Yuheng replied, "Or problems appear just before floors."

"Both are possible."

Neither possibility was comforting.

Floor 123: The Theater of Public Masks.

It combined public opinion, identity, and voice manipulation. Qin Yuheng had to expose a false public trial staged by borrowed faces and voices. Reward: SSS Public Truth Resonance Mirror.

Floor 124: The Market of Sold Apologies.

A moral-debt floor where wrongdoers bought fake forgiveness without restoration. Qin Yuheng distinguished apology from repair. Reward: SSS True Restitution Scale.

These floors deepened their social defense systems.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian’er’s network discovered that borrowed voice tools were appearing in real black markets. The timing was too close.

Blood Sun likely had access to similar methods.

Qin Yuheng began carrying a personal voice verification token at all times.

Not because he feared being fooled easily.

Because others might be fooled by him.

A forged Qin Yuheng order could be disastrous.

So he created an official Qin-family command verification structure:

No major order accepted unless confirmed by at least two of:

Voice soul resonance.

Personal command seal.

Silent Heaven channel.

Pre-set phrase.

Intent jade.

Qin Mo named it:

Please Do Not Obey Fake Qin Yuheng Protocol

Qin Wanshan shortened it to:

Core Command Verification Protocol

Qin Mo’s title remained popular among younger guards.

Sometimes humor helped people remember.
