Chapter 440: Why is the earth about to be destroyed?
“It’s hard to say.”
Ke Lin understood what Xu Jin meant and waved his hand, unable to make any promises.
After all, the current speculation is that the company may have some conspiracy, but in fact, it is also possible that Ms. Rabbit cannot come in without this part of the authority...
Colin knew very well that this possibility was also not small.
Because, strictly speaking, it's most likely not "Ms. Bunny" who needs these permissions, but rather the bunch of strange, powerful yet extremely rigid "protocols" within "Bonfire Company" that require these permissions...
If there were no such restrictions...
Considering that "Ms. Rabbit" often takes advantage of loopholes in missions, I'm afraid she will not be polite at all and will directly pull in the army to suppress the unrest.
"Some of the rules in Bonfire Company are quite strict. If the conditions are not met, there is no way to take action."
Colin added.
"Okay." Xuanyu Jin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Then, before he could continue speaking, Colin asked something he had been curious about before:
"Why do a considerable number of heretical forces not only fail to destroy the 'World Barrier', but instead have the intention of maintaining it?"
Hearing Colin's words, Duo Duojin groaned for a few seconds before opening his mouth:
"This question isn't actually very complicated... First, who do you think would be the first to appear if the barrier were destroyed?"
"Red Moon?" Colin immediately thought of this name.
Judging from the current information, this person seems to be the one closest to returning...
But just as he finished speaking, Colin raised his eyebrows and said, "That doesn't seem right. The followers of the Red Moon will also maintain the World Barrier to a certain extent..."
At this time, Xuanyun Jin spoke up: "In theory, 'Red Moon' is the closest one, but in reality, once the 'World Barrier' is completely destroyed, then perhaps... some other high-level foreign beings will turn their attention here..."
A superior alien being? Colin was startled, and immediately realized that not only was his family in turmoil and precarious, but there were also a lot of covetous eyes staring at him, beyond his cognition.
Seeing that Colin realized this, Manyin did not delve too deeply into the words of the "outsider", but said:
"But, to be honest, the followers of Red Moon will not maintain the World Barrier forever. They are also destroyers, but they use the cannibalization method and seek gradual destruction...
"And every time they destroy something, they must try to allow their 'mother' to occupy as much space as possible to ensure that their mother's power dominates.
“If that’s not the case, they might even try to fortify the barriers themselves wherever possible.
"And the reason for this situation seems to be that their mother's recovery was gradual, just like a person opening his eyes after waking up, there is a process...
"Red Moon's followers will generally do specific things according to the degree to which Red Moon gradually awakens over time."
Ah, this...
Upon hearing this, Colin inexplicably had an idea that the "World Barrier" had become the opponent's protective shell, and judging from what Duo Jin said, it seemed that the official did not have much to do about the awakening of "Red Moon".
He asked some questions and received many affirmative answers.
"As time goes by, their mother will gradually wake up. There really isn't much we can do to force her back..."
"The only good news now is that the increase is not high, usually less than one percentage point a year. At this rate, we still have decades to go..."
"And this is also the reason why the damage to the World Barrier increased by several percentage points last time, causing the entire community to become nervous. Everyone was wondering if the Red Moon was about to appear."
"But fortunately, until recently, everything has stabilized again."
When Xuanyi Jin said the last sentence, a hint of self-mockery appeared on his face.
However, Colin didn't have much experience with this matter. At that time, he seemed to have just joined the official team and was still doing various tasks. He didn't have much connection with the real world.
Of course, Colin could probably guess the reason behind the shaking of the "World Barrier".
It must be the work of that "rat"...
The so-called stabilization mentioned by many people is probably just because this thing is lurking and preparing for a big attack.
From the tone of voice, it is obvious that Xuan Xuan Jin also knows this.
Unfortunately...
Neither Colin nor they had a good way to deal with that thing that was good at hiding.
"From the current perspective, there are two possible times for it to come out and cause trouble. One is when I observe the 'Book of Fortune Telling', and the other is when 'Mr. Wu,' the ninth-level 'Fortune Teller,' reaches the end of his life..."
"Both probabilities are not small...it's difficult."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin felt a bit overwhelmed. Then he thought about the fact that besides the locals, there were also some foreigners who coveted this place, and his head ached even more.
“Why are some outside eyes focused on this small place?”
"This... I'm afraid you'll have to ask the Bonfire Company." Manyu Jin at the side shook his head and sighed.
"oh……"
Colin almost forgot that among these "outsiders", there are probably quite a few.
They all came for the "Bonfire Company"...
Manyin seemed to see Colin's thoughts and continued:
"In fact, according to what Mr. Wu told us, many higher beings, especially some true 'Outer Gods', don't actually have the concept of 'resentment'. What drives them here is that there are things here that are very important to them.
"As for what it is, it should probably be related to the 'company'."
Listening to his words, Colin thought about it and felt that there were many possibilities.
Some of them have probably been cheated by the company before, and want to come and nail down its coffin as much as possible, reinforce it, and prevent the company from appearing again.
Some may simply be here to watch the show.
Of course, if there is a chance to grab some, most of these high-level beings would not mind taking some.
Especially those golden props...
Not only the company employees are jealous, but some high-level beings are probably jealous as well.
Afterwards, Colin did not continue the topic, but continued to ask Xuanyu Jin whether there was any official progress on the "2044" matter.
Unfortunately, Xuan Duojin shook his head: "I can't see it, I can't see it at all, I don't know what it is at all..."
"Is that so..."
"Well, we and the International Department planned to make certain sacrifices, at the cost of the lives of senior personnel, to get a glimpse of what would happen on that day, but in the end, nothing happened. It seemed like a normal day."
Xuan Duojin smiled bitterly.
There is no such thing as seeing indescribable things and then the observer suddenly dying from being unable to bear it.
In addition to paying the price of corruption for using extraordinary abilities...
They didn't give anything extra.
But nothing was achieved.
However, the lack of results itself is the biggest problem.
Because in fact, contrary to this conclusion, some powerful beings clearly have some inexplicable concerns about a certain point in the future.
Don’t say anything else, just look at the “Red Moon”.
According to estimates, this being will fully recover some time before that time point arrives.
In this situation, how can everything be normal?
At this point in the conversation, Xuanyun couldn't help but look at Colin. In his opinion, the company must know what's going on with the 2044 incident.
After all, from many things, we can see that the company is making some arrangements for this.
But unfortunately, this young man who seems to have a good "background" is still unable to know the truth because he does not have enough authority.
He could only wait silently for the other party to rise first...
Manyu Jin secretly shook his head. If Mr. Wu hadn't asked him to talk to Ke Lin, as much as possible, he shouldn't ask about Ke Lin and the company. He wanted to ask when the other party would be promoted...
Afterwards, after discussing this topic, the two sides did not continue the communication.
Xuanyi Jin collected his thoughts and left the room with the "abnormal biological battery".
He had to get this thing out as soon as possible.
Once this thing becomes popular, the effect will be so great that I can’t even imagine it.
After his figure left, Colin sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
If this happened in another world, with the situation like this, he would probably be able to relax and say that it was not a big problem.
But now disaster is really about to befall him.
This mentality is another matter entirely...
The earth is fine and everything seems normal now, but why does it feel like it is about to disappear in an instant?
"Forget it, there's always a way out when you get to the mountain. There's no need to rush... Holy shit, 'Snow Girl', what are you doing?"
Colin shook his head, collected his thoughts, and then suddenly saw.
The whole room...
The temperature had dropped drastically at some point, and frost crystals were everywhere. The "Snow Girl" was like an ice fog maker, spewing cold fog all over the room, as if she was going to transform the room into a large refrigerator.
Colin took a deep breath, stretched, stood up, called back the "Snow Girl", and burned her "masterpiece" with fire.
Then, he called Qin Chuan as he walked out.
He planned to find a few lucky anomalies nearby to stretch his muscles.
Not long after, Qin Chuan and his companions drove over here. Before getting in the car, he glanced at the four Toyota vans not far behind the car.
There seems to be more soy sauce.
Colin was speechless. Others had all kinds of precise combinations at their disposal, with milk, meat and output, but he was the only one who had nothing but soy sauce.
Apart from shouting 666, he can't do anything else.
No, it seems not entirely. Leading this group of people is like turning on "auto pickup"...
Every time they solve an anomaly, they will conduct a carpet search of the scene and find all kinds of suspicious items, which increases the explosion rate several times.
However, I didn't care much about this.
There isn't much difference between more or less soy sauce.
Ke Lin took the report document handed to him by Qin Chuan and took a look at it.
While he was checking, Qin Chuan also said beside him: "At present, the abnormalities within our own jurisdiction have basically disappeared, and everything is relatively stable..."
Generally speaking, the average number of incidents per month in an area under the charge of a Level 5 officer is less than ten.
And with Colin's efficiency...
These anomalies were not enough for him to punch.
Therefore, it is rare for Colin to take the initiative to go to work now. If you want to solve the abnormality, you can only go to other nearby cities.
"Help me organize a path and see how many I can get today..." Colin waved his hands, not caring much.
It takes little effort for him to carry out tasks that are not "carefully selected" by the company. Many sources of anomalies do not even meet the standards of level 3 containment.
When Colin went over, he basically punched each one of them.
Although this is a bit of a bully, he still likes it...
Soon, the convoy of vehicles stopped outside a supermarket building that had been cordoned off.
"You are..." A special police officer came up and stopped everyone.
"Support personnel." Qin Zheng said as he took out the documents.
After verification, the other party let you go.
"The rumor here is that there seems to be some special anomalies in the entire building. Once you walk around inside, you will be unable to leave. Then at night, you can see people moving around inside, singing and dancing. The level 5 personnel who originally managed this area have been trapped inside for two days, and there has been no news so far..." Qin Chuan quickly explained the situation to Colin.
"Singing and dancing?"
Colin had a strange expression on his face as he looked at the new-looking shopping mall building from afar. He sniffed and could vaguely smell some rotten and strange odor.
It seems that the first thing I encountered today is something...
but……
"It's not a big problem..."
Colin said this briefly, then led his men over there.
More than 20 people followed behind him...
If we ignore the fact that they are all "fortune-telling", the momentum is still very huge.
Soon, walking into the first floor lobby of the mall supermarket, Colin took a look inside. There were more than a dozen people who seemed to be officials, arranging something. A large number of yellow talismans were posted everywhere...
"A talisman or something?"
Colin withdrew his gaze and prepared to continue leading people to the stairs and look up.
But then...
"It's very dangerous up there. We've just finished suppressing the situation on the first floor. Who are you?" The officials seemed to have just realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Support." Qin Chuan stepped forward to negotiate.
"We have taken over the matters here, and will resolve them soon..." A level 6 official wearing a leather jacket, who should be the team leader, walked out from the back and stared at them with unfriendly eyes.
Someone suddenly showed up at this time and it looked like he was trying to steal the credit...
Although this kind of thing doesn't happen very often, it does exist. In short, it is very disgusting.
However, just as he was about to drive this group of people away to prevent his credit from being taken away, he suddenly heard the other party say...
"I think you guys are pretty lucky. If you hadn't met me, you would all have died here."
Colin suddenly spoke, but his eyes were not on the group of people.
Instead, he kept staring at the supermarket floor...
It was as if he could see through the ground and directly see the source of the abnormality in the supermarket.
At the same time, as if they had noticed his gaze, the red characters on the yellow talismans posted everywhere in the originally peaceful supermarket suddenly faded and then fell off...
Even a large group of main talisman formations in the center fell down like withering.
"How is that possible?! You must be kidding!"
The level six personnel were horrified. It seemed that his set of talismans disappeared without any effect?
How is it possible...
"Hiss, what's going on..." Qin Chuan was surprised, and took out a few talismans and stuck them on his body.
In this path, some like to play with formation talismans, while others like to paste their own.
He belongs to the latter...
However, although it was not the same direction, he had some understanding of the array talismans and knew that the level of this set of talismans here was actually not low, but the effect was still erased inexplicably.
This is enough to show that the crisis is extraordinary...
After all the talismans fell off, a song full of bizarre and absurd sounds rang out here.
At the same time, a strong inspiration emerged in Colin's mind, and a particularly clear picture emerged. In the center of a certain area under the ground, there seemed to be a special statue being worshipped.
The image of the statue is somewhat special. It is a special human figure wearing a yellow robe without a specific facial feature. The yellow robe looks tattered and broken. At the bottom of the yellow robe, there are some textures engraved that look like tentacles.
Next to it, its name is engraved...
"Jin Guan Tai Miao Xuan Huang something something...Tian Zun of Fortune?"
Colin muttered to himself, but halfway through, he cautiously skipped the middle part and did not read it out in full.
Judging from the layout of its surroundings, it seemed to be an ancestral hall, and also a bit like an ancient stage. Colin could not understand most of the words in the names, but he could still understand the meaning of "lucky change".
"Hiss, these days, these people really dare to worship anything."
Colin couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
“6.”
It was at this time that the inexplicable singing and praising sounds around began to become increasingly strange.
