Chapter 111: The Rift of Two Realms
🌌 Act I: A Shimmering Tear
Ne Job was cataloguing scrolls when Twinkle buzzed urgently.
The Grand Hall trembled, and a shimmering tear appeared in the air — a rift between the Bureau and the mortal town.
Ao Bing frowned. "That's not a miracle. That's a tear!"
Taiyi Zhenren muttered, "Unprofessional."
Lord Xian appeared, grave.
> "Interns, the Mask of Misrule seeks to merge the Bureau and the mortal world. If he succeeds, both realms will collapse into chaos."

🧠 Act II: The Villains' Plot
The Bureau of Misrule had devised their boldest scheme yet.
Their plan: fuse the two realms, corrupting miracles and mortal hopes alike.
- Scrolls twisted into despair.
- Hopes warped into cruelty.
- Courage fractured into recklessness.
Ao Bing clenched his fists. "We'll stop him!"
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted the evidence.
Ne Job whispered, "We must heal the rift."
Twinkle pulsed softly.

🎭 Act III: The Rift Expands
The interns approached the rift.
It pulsed with chaotic energy, pulling scrolls and mortal dreams into its glow.
Ao Bing stumbled as thunderfruit sparks twisted into shadows.
Taiyi Zhenren trembled as footnotes erased themselves.
Glimmer cried softly as laughter turned cruel.
Ne Job stood firm.
He whispered, "Miracles are not chaos. They are harmony."
Twinkle hummed faintly.
The rift shimmered.

🧵 Act IV: The Confrontation
The Mask of Misrule appeared within the rift.
His cracked mask shimmered with cruel laughter.
He hissed:
> "Two worlds, one chaos. You cannot stop me."
Ao Bing hurled thunderfruit sparks.
Taiyi Zhenren annotated his tricks.
Glimmer giggled, distracting him.
Ne Job unrolled Miracle #400-D — the Dual Siege.
The scroll pulsed.
Unity resonated.
The rift trembled.
Miracles and hopes glowed together.
The Mask faltered.
His disguise cracked further.

🌈 Act V: The Resolution
The interns joined hands.
Ao Bing laughed kindly.
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted truth.
Glimmer giggled joyfully.
Ne Job whispered, "Unity heals."
Twinkle hummed brightly.
The rift closed.
The realms separated, safe once more.
The Mask fled into the shadows.
His voice echoed:
> "You may win today. But masks always return."
Lord Xian nodded.
> "Intern Ne Job, you have defended both realms against the Rift of Two Worlds. Well done."
