Chapter 426 Second Mother's "Book of Numerology"
"To put it more bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 'Book of Numerology' put an end to all abnormal situations..."
Colin felt this particularly strongly when listening to the other party's words.
If it weren't for this thing, the world would probably have changed drastically a few years before he was born.
You will enter a disaster era that is not much better than the world of "The Seventh Box Garden" or "World Number-13".
After all, without extraordinary means, there are many advanced anomalies that can only be solved by conventional missiles.
It even reached the level of "secondary containment".
Ke Lin estimated that it would be difficult to solve the problem if he didn't go to Yuanyuan.
"Plus, the more an area knows about anomalies, the more anomalies there will be... It's simply hopeless."
Colin was secretly heartbroken.
"Hehe, are you thinking, if not... we're doomed?"
Xuanyun Jin seemed to see through Colin's thoughts and spoke with a smile, which seemed to hint at something.
"right."
Colin did not deny it, because under the circumstances, there was really no way to fight.
However, looking at the other person's smile, he seemed to realize something: "It doesn't seem right. The main body of the 'Book of Numerology' is in China, and it doesn't interfere much with the outside world. But has there been similar developments outside during this period of time?"
"It's not during this period. To be precise, it's almost synchronized."
Xuanyun Jin recalled the information, his smile faded, and he slowly frowned: "Just as we had discussed, all kinds of paths have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and even the initial abilities are somewhat similar...
"The earliest ones that appeared were all about 'fortune- telling', 'prophet', 'sage' and the like. Ours is... a book. There are similar things out there, and then you can get other things under some kind of guidance.
"Just like copy and paste..."
"This means... maybe during that period of time, something beyond the 'Book of Numerology' took action?"
Colin also frowned.
In his understanding, the "Book of Numerology" was probably something that existed side by side with "Hunger". At that time, it seemed that not only the "Book of Numerology" appeared, but also something of the same standard...
Those who can arrange these things...
The first thing that came to Colin's mind was Bonfire Company.
But on second thought, something seemed to be wrong. At that point in time, all the props were in a "lost" state.
Even now the ownership does not belong to the company.
After all, they are currently controlled by the authorities, and the company does not seem to have any plans to recycle them.
"Don't think about it. The only person in this world who knows who is behind all this is probably Mr. Wu. Others know nothing at all, but he obviously can't tell you more."
Manyin waved his hand, interrupting Colin's thoughts.
"Only Mr. Wu? Why?" Colin was surprised.
"I don't know, my intuition tells me..."
Xuanyu Jin pushed his sunglasses and said, "If you want to know, wait until I or another level 8 candidate is promoted to level 9 'Fortune Teller', then we can know the reason..."
Hearing this, Colin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Judging from the current situation, someone or something must have intervened at that time, otherwise everyone would not have obtained various extraordinary abilities so neatly...
But it is unknown who did it...
It is also unclear whether its ultimate purpose is good or bad.
At this time, Xuanyu Jin suddenly shook his head: "Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see that something has taken action. However, even if we know this is the case, the situation at the time did not allow us to refuse."
After a pause, he added, "Besides what the people behind all this want to gain, the so-called gift of the book will actually cost you a lot in the future..."
"ah?"
Seeing Colin's expression, Xuanjin smiled bitterly and then explained the matter.
As long as they reach level four, all "fortune predictors" can feel that they owe a "book of fortune". The stronger the feeling, the stronger it will be.
So, one thing is clear, it has reached a certain point in time.
They will need to pay the price for their "gifts" over the years.
Of course, Xiao Duojin didn't know what the payment was, but it was certain that Mr. Wu knew, but the other party didn't say it at all...
In this case, guessing is impossible.
It is also impossible to use extraordinary means...
To put it bluntly, the "Book of Numerology" can be regarded as the father of all things of this kind. Almost no one can know things that it does not want to disclose without its consent.
At least that's the case on Earth...
"Actually, you should call me mom, not dad..."
Listening to the other party's words, Colin suddenly remembered his experience in "Love Paradise" and the name given to it by the "Snow Girl" -
Second mother.
At this time, Duo Xuanjin shook his head again:
"To be honest, I used to think that as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, paying some price in exchange for strength would not be a problem, but...
"We once thought that our generation was already very lucky, because in general, we can keep extraordinary power in our bodies. As long as we don't use it frequently, it won't get out of control. Compared with the chaos in the early days, the cost is extremely small...
"As a result, your appearance has made us realize what it means to pay a low price..."
Having said this, he looked at Colin, with some inexplicable resentment in his eyes behind his sunglasses.
No, to be precise, it should be completely free of charge!
Generally speaking, the limit of a low-level divine attack is usually within one to three hours. If it lasts longer, the person's emotions will be quickly replaced by the object of the borrowed power, becoming abstract and stereotyped...
For example, if you borrow the character of a martial saint, you will begin to get closer to that character.
This is of course not to say that it is close to the historical one, but to the one that is close to the public's cognition. However, the public's cognition is not unified, which will lead to people becoming more and more crazy...
However, there is currently a level six double agent named "Shen Da". After being injected with "gene compensation potion", he can even sleep with "Shen Da" on!
If you continue doing this for a whole day, there will be no risk of becoming stereotyped, except for exhaustion due to mental fatigue.
Even the super genius who once had the "divine attack" method could only drive for three hours at most and could not do this.
In other words, their upper limit was once even lower than this group's lower limit.
The situation is similar for the "double-talented" people who predict fortunes. As long as they are not exhausted to death, they can use the "predictions" at will.
The key is that they will not feel uncomfortable as if they owe the "Book of Fortune Telling".
"This is no longer borrowing, this is robbing..." Xuan Xuan couldn't help but conclude.
If they had been able to use the "gene compensation potion" at the beginning, it seems that there would not be so many problems.
"Robbery? That's right, and it's in line with the company's usual style."
Colin nodded and made no comment. After all, although he was a member of the company, he had never robbed other people's things, so there was no need for him to take the blame.
Then, after getting some answers, Colin talked about the transaction.
"Is it going to start again?" Xuanyun Jin suddenly became interested.
Let’s not talk about the strength of the equipment we received in the previous mission, but its stability is simply amazing.
He and some other senior personnel had tried to destroy one of the inferior equipments, trying to make the props go out of control and collapse.
As a result, the props were indeed broken by them.
But even if it was broken, the abnormalities inside did not get out of control.
Instead, it disappears as the props are damaged...
It's a pity that although there are many unique structures in it, they cannot learn anything valuable from them.
To put it bluntly, I didn't understand it at all.
Even if you want to copy it, you can't...
"Well, the transaction time is noon on January 4th. This is roughly what we have. Please check the accounts."
Colin handed over the list and said, "As for how many items you'll get in the end, that's hard to say. It depends on what you get in the end."
"no problem."
Xuanyi Jin took the list and looked at it.
"Four Level 2 containment objects, nine Level 3 containment objects, and... one hundred and ninety-one in total?"
The second-level containment objects in the official standards are very weak and low-level containment objects. The higher the level, the higher the danger level. However, after all, it is a transaction with the company, so the company standards are naturally used, so many people will not make mistakes.
After some calculation, I roughly know the other party's needs...
"right."
Colin nodded calmly.
Although the above numbers are a little different from the actual ones, during the transaction and transportation, there might be wear and tear in some link, and one or two pieces may be missing.
So it is understandable to report a little more.
"no problem."
Manyin nodded, although his intuition told him that there might be something wrong with this list...
But his intuition also told him that life is full of confusion.
Knowing too much is not a good thing...
He carefully put the list away and folded it into the inside pocket of his suit. Then he smiled and tried to speak: "By the way, do you think it is possible to discuss the technology of prop making?"
Is this targeting the company's product production?
Colin shook his head: "There is almost no possibility in this regard..."
Even if the company doesn't mind this aspect and really provides the technology, it will be difficult for these people to do it. After all, the production of the company's props involves some mysterious and special protocols.
However, given the company's understanding of the anomaly, there is a chance to provide some ideas and suggestions.
Going further is not going to work.
Xuanyi Jin was not surprised by his words. The gap between the two sides was too big. The more they understood each other, the more he felt this way.
Bonfire Company, although it is called a company, it is not wrong to call it a kind of special advanced civilization.
"By the way, what is the current situation regarding the followers of the Dawn Star?"
Colin changed the subject.
Long before, he had asked the authorities to keep an eye on this group of people, and even hinted at them to spread the news as widely as possible.
Now a few days have passed and I don’t know what the situation is.
"They seem to be saying... a powerful being may return through a vessel that descended not long ago. In the outside world, the news has spread like wildfire..."
When talking about this, many Jin had strange expressions, because the other party's container had successfully "landed" and escaped in their territory.
Some people within the alliance accused them of not doing their job well...
But many people who knew more inside information knew very well that it was the person in front of him who solved the problem.
All the pagans at the scene were killed without a single one escaping.
But within two days, it was reported that the other party had successfully escaped and was about to call for a great will to descend on Earth...
Plus what Colin had told me before...
Many people could realize, even if they used their feet to think, that the guy in front of them was probably playing a "not so glorious" role in it, and he played it very realistically.
Otherwise, those churches that specialize in fighting heresy would not fail to notice it.
"Recently, we, no, official organizations all over the world, have received many reports from evil forces. Do these things have much to do with you? Well, there's no need to explain it too clearly..."
Manyin asked carefully and gave a reminder at the end.
This matter has attracted the attention of too many forces. If there is any plan, it cannot be easily revealed.
Otherwise, it would be like the saying that when you say something bad about someone behind their back, the person being talked about will sneeze...
In reality it's a coincidence.
But in the extraordinary world, there is a certain possibility that some sensitive guys will sense something.
The probability is low, but it is not impossible.
Colin looked at him and said knowingly, "It's somewhat related. I have a friend who plans to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up more garbage. Of course, I suggest that you send some capable people to help."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a "7" gesture, implying that the level had better not be lower than this.
Although I don't understand how Colin got mixed up with that group of evil forces.
But Xuan Xuanjin didn't dwell on this: "I understand. The location..."
"Let them search slowly. I guess with their abilities, it won't be difficult for them to find the answer. Sometimes, it's easier for them to believe the information they find through their own efforts."
"Of course, if they really can't find it, I will take the initiative to reveal the location."
Listening to Colin's plan, Xuan Duojin estimated that this time he would give the heretics a severe blow.
It is unlikely that all of them will be killed, but some casualties are inevitable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. In fact, many of the heretics today were the legacy of the earliest chaotic period. At that time, in order to deal with anomalies, they had to try all kinds of methods...
But when the major extraordinary paths are established, those other extremely bloody forces should of course be abolished.
Unfortunately, it was a little late by then.
Many people were bewitched and could no longer turn back, so they could only defect and become the legacy of the poison——
The key point is that these remnants are undermining the world's hard-earned stability, while at the same time they think they are saving the world.
It’s just very…abstract.
…
At the same time that Colin and the others were having an "encrypted conversation", in a certain ocean area in the world, in a large and incredibly ancient wooden ghost ship, a group of heretics were also plotting.
"We have almost found the headquarters of those masochists. We must not let them succeed this time..."
A dignified old man in navy uniform said this, his eyes swept across the round table, where he could see people in various costumes sitting around the edge.
These are all members of the "Deep Blue Guardians" who mingle among humans.
Although they perform rituals and throw people into the sea to please things under the deep sea to gain power; although they use human brain wetware to create special occult engines; although a large number of people are killed and injured because of their actions...
But they know they are good people.
Everything is just a necessary sacrifice.
"If the existence of the starry sky comes here, it will destroy our home. Only when the deep sea era and the great will arrive can our civilization continue. Although a small number of people may have strange views on us now, I believe that they will understand in the future..."
"But before that, we must do everything we can to protect this place."
The old man said the lines he had said countless times.
Almost ten minutes later, he turned his sharp gaze to one of the members who had received the gift of the "deep sea":
"But don't worry, the secret realm of 'Dawn Star' will be found soon...
"When the time comes, 'Wavebreaker', you will sneak into the secret realm of 'Dawn Star', disrupt their descent ritual while the chaos is going on, and kill their descent vessel!"
"Ah? Me?"
The person who was seen glared and pointed at himself.
