Chapter 110: The Dual Siege
🌌 Act I: Two Worlds Tremble
Ne Job was reviewing scrolls when Twinkle buzzed urgently.
The Bureau's walls shook, and at the same time, bells in the mortal town rang with cruel laughter.
Ao Bing frowned. "He's attacking both worlds at once!"
Taiyi Zhenren muttered, "Unprofessional."
Lord Xian appeared, grave.
> "Interns, the Mask of Misrule has split his army. One strikes the Bureau, the other corrupts the mortal town. You must defend both."

🧠 Act II: The Villains' Plot
The Bureau of Misrule had devised a cunning scheme.
Their plan: overwhelm the interns by forcing them to fight in two places at once.
- In the Bureau: scrolls twisted into chaos.
- In the town: hopes corrupted into despair.
Ao Bing clenched his fists. "We'll split up!"
Taiyi Zhenren frowned. "Risky."
Ne Job whispered, "We must trust each other."
Twinkle pulsed softly.

🎭 Act III: The Split Defense
The interns divided their efforts.
- Ao Bing and Glimmer rushed to the town.
- Taiyi Zhenren stayed in the Bureau.
- Ne Job stood between both realms, guiding them.
In the Bureau, scrolls hissed.
In the town, laughter turned cruel.
Ao Bing hurled thunderfruit sparks.
Taiyi Zhenren annotated the corruption.
Glimmer giggled, distracting villains.
Ne Job whispered, "Truth unites us."
Twinkle hummed brightly.

🧵 Act IV: The Confrontation
The Mask of Misrule appeared in both realms — his cracked mask shimmering with cruel laughter.
He hissed:
> "You cannot defend two worlds. You will fail."
Ao Bing stumbled in the town.
Taiyi Zhenren trembled in the Bureau.
Glimmer cried softly.
Ne Job stood firm.
He unrolled Miracle #390-H — the Town of Twisted Hopes.
The scroll pulsed.
Hope resonated.
Both realms glowed.
Mortals felt courage.
Scrolls felt clarity.
The Mask faltered.
His disguise cracked further.

🌈 Act V: The Resolution
The Mask fled into the shadows.
His voice echoed:
> "You may win today. But masks always return."
Ao Bing tossed confetti in the town.
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted the silence in the Bureau.
Glimmer hugged Ne Job.
Twinkle hummed triumphantly.
Lord Xian nodded.
> "Intern Ne Job, you have defended both worlds against the Dual Siege. Well done."

📜 Epilogue: A New Registry Entry
The next morning, a new entry appeared in the Miracle Registry:
> Miracle #400-D: The Dual Siege
> Status: Defended, triumphant, unresolved.
> Effect: Teaches that unity defends across worlds. Activated through courage and trust.
Ne Job added a note:
> "Some miracles are threatened in two worlds. But unity always defends them."
Twinkle hummed.
And somewhere in both worlds, shadows lingered — but the interns were ready.
