Location- Reverse Dungeon, Yellow Plain Planet, Freedom Fighter's Base 

Luna was not willing to let Henricks make a decision that could potentially hinder Wyatt's recovery however before she could argue, Henricks warned, "Don't test me Lorn. If you continue to question my every order for the boy I will throw Wyatt into the empty space where his plague-infested body belongs." 

"You wouldn't dare," Luna stared at Henricks but seeing the fierce look in his eyes she did not dare to provoke him. Baylor also glanced at his mentor but ultimately chose to stay silent knowing that with Madam Joy's abilities, it would not be hard for her to attend to multiple patients at a time. 

"Done," the demigod in charge of the finance said after ordering the medical department to move the patients to the poison and plague department after having informed Joy of the new development through his grimoire. He would have gone in person to convey their leader's intention to Joy but there was still one thing he had left to achieve here, and that was to recruit Wyatt in the finance department. 

"This cannot happen again, we have to do something about Matron's ability," Henricks said comprehending the dread of Matron's ability. He then glanced at Luna and said, "Lorn, you seemed to have something to say about countering Matron's ability." 

"My grandpa and I along with other researchers of the Southern Royal family have burned midnight oil trying to figure this out, only to conclude that without her origin card info, we are basically shooting blind. 

Still, we thought of various ways to counter her memory ability based on the information we had about her origin card but all of them faced one problem, we could not figure out a way to read the memories of everyone to find the discrepancies in them without alerting Matron about our actions. Because she could remotely altar the memories, allowing her to hide all traces of her edition to the memories of her spies. 

However, since Freedom Fighters are in another world we have an advantage that the Southern Royal family did not have. 

To understand if we can make use of this advantage, I need to know the location of all the sleeper spies in our force that Matron activated on the day of the incident. 

If all the sleeper spies that were activated by Matron were only present in the card world and not in Yellow Plains then it means Matron's ability doesn't extend to this world which allows us to go through the memories of the Freedom Fighters without worrying about alerting the Matron," Luna explained. 

When Clownmask revealed her future vision to the Southern Royal family, that they would lose the Southern Region to Matron, the Southern Royal family spared no effort to figure out a way to counter Matron's ability based on the information given by Clownmask. Which was now coming in handy for the Freedom Fighters. 

"I already thought of that, unfortunately, her ability doesn't seem to be limited by the borders of realms," Baylor replied to Luna's speculation. He believed Sansa to be his mistake, so only he knew the sleepless nights he had put into thinking of ways to counter Matron and avenge Elleen. 

Luna was not surprised knowing that Matron's ability was spanning past the borders of realms as she believed this was to be expected of someone who overthrew two royal families and managed to become the ruler of both the Northern and Southern regions. 

"But, I did notice something odd. Of all our bases in Yellow Plains one remained untouched by her attack. This base had its reverse dungeon connecting it to the card world closed," Baylor informed.

"So, you mean to say the only reason Matron's ability is able to extend its influence into this world is because of the reverse dungeon connecting this world to the card world?" Luna said as she found a way to limit the extent of Matron's ability, "We need to close all the reverse dungeons the Freedom Fighters are using to travel between the yellow plains and card world. No, as long as we are far enough from the reverse dungeons connecting the worlds her ability will not be able to influence her victims from across the worlds." 

Henrick's had created multiple reverse dungeons so that the Freedom Fighters could covertly travel to Card world and return. Each base of the Freedom Fighters in Yellow Plains had at least one reverse dungeon keeping them connected to the card world. 

It can be seen that the base with the reverse dungeon closed was not reachable by Matron's ability despite other reverse dungeons being open, showing that Matron's ability influence in this world was limited. It grew weaker further from the reverse dungeon. This was why Luna claimed that they did not need to close the reverse dungeons, as long as they were far from it that should do the trick. 

"What kind of memory search are you talking about here, if it is a deep memory search, then many will be reluctant to cooperate with our plans," Henricks pointed out that not many would be willing to have their memories viewed by strangers even if it was by their trusted immediate superiors. 

"Don't worry, memories are like a continuous string, if Matron has done edition to them, it will immediately be visible from the surface, so we do not need to dive deep into their memories, just the surface will do. However, we have to dive deeper into the memories of those that show signs of an anomaly to confirm its source is Matron or some kind of trauma," Luna explained that Freedom Fighters did not have to worry about their memories being shared as all she needed to do was see the memories of the target as a whole to spot any form of anomaly that would normally not present in one's memories. Only then she would go deeper into them to confirm whether the cause of the anomaly was Matron or a trauma. 

"Good, then I will gather all the members of the Freedom Fighters under the guise of celebration for capturing Wyatt. You guys prepare the necessary arrangements." 

"Henricks, we do not have the funds to do so."
