Chapter 154: A Father and Son's Understanding
Regulus crossed to the bed, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes. His breathing slowed.
He sank inward, into the depths of his mind.
Stars unfurled across the mental landscape, weaving into a constellation model that turned in slow, silent rotation. The Star Guided Meditation provided its foundation.
Time to rebuild the room.
He took the existing consciousness chamber as his starting point and began converting it into something far more sophisticated, layering in advanced Occlumency techniques to forge a composite psychic construct.
First, the filtration membrane. Drawing on the Star Guided Meditation's inherent purity, he wove a dense net of psychic threads. Every scrap of magical energy or information entering the chamber would pass through this layer first. Not to purge it. Only to tag, analyze, and log.
Next, the observation window. A one-way aperture through which his core awareness could monitor the chamber's interior, while nothing inside could detect the watcher. The window's surface was a semi-transparent psychic barrier: clear enough for unobstructed viewing, opaque to any reverse probe.
Then the conduit. A narrow, adjustable channel of psychic matter connecting the chamber to the outside. Restrictive runes lined its inner walls, governing flow rate, volume, and magical purity with precision.
Last, the internal reinforcement. Layer upon layer of defensive netting woven into the chamber walls, designed to prevent the simulated persona, or any dark energy fed into the space, from breaking free. These nets linked directly to his core awareness. The moment they detected an unauthorized breach attempt, alarms would trigger. If necessary, a kill switch would fire automatically.
