"The Hongmanghu neighborhood has arrived, passengers who get off the train should pay attention to safety. Please ring the bell when you get off the bus, don't forget to ...... your belongings on the bus"

The female voice on the bus radio distracted Conmande in time, allowing the Crimson Star to escape.

He still had a task ahead of him, and there was no need to waste his precious time on this kind of thing.

It was non-aggressive and did not pose a direct threat to humans, so the number of the Crimson Star in his mind immediately ranked several people back.

Comand put away the equipment in his hand, lifted the suitcase at his feet, got up and walked down the door that had just opened, his movements were so clean that he was stunned by the person in the seat next to him.

He finally remembered that he was peeping on other people's screens before, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Won't you be discovered......

When the bus started slowly, he couldn't help but glance out the window again, and saw that the man with obvious mixed-race characteristics was walking towards the newly built neighborhood not far away.

Isn't that man going to the Hongmang Lake neighborhood? Isn't it blocked?

He couldn't help but reach out for his phone and open the text message that had been sent in the name of the city government not long ago.

"There was a large-scale gas leak accident in the Hongmanghu neighborhood, the situation has been preliminarily controlled, the cause of the accident is under investigation, please do not rush to the scope of the accident......"

I heard that even the roads leading to this side have been blocked a few times, and the bus I am taking now is still spared because it has not entered the Hongmang Lake neighborhood at all.

I don't know if the gas leak is serious.

Forget it, it's none of his business.

With a relaxed mood that nothing to do with himself, he turned on the traffic and started surfing the Internet.

Comand walked into the lockdown area unhurriedly, stepping through the circular belt arranged on the outskirts of the block, and at the same time the news of his arrival was known to everyone inside.

In order to prevent the most curious and desperate people from invading into the lockdown area, the circulation belt has become the standard equipment for this type of regional quarantine mission.

Only those who know the key can pass through and enter the inner area, and those ordinary people who don't know anything can probably only keep circling around Hongmang Lake.

If you're a little smarter, you'll probably find that you're taking all the same paths.

Along the way, Conmand has received the "attention" of the audience - they think they are quite hidden, but in fact they have been discovered by the parties a long time ago. Who hasn't heard of his name in this kind of position? But let alone seeing it once or twice, you can't even see a photo!

All his information is confidential, which leads to almost everyone here only hearing of this big man's name and not seeing him.

"Is that His Excellency Conmand?" and it was exactly what I had imagined...... "Even on such occasions, it could not stop their gossip-filled whispers.

Same as what?

Speaking from the heart, his appearance is not the same as many people imagine.

Several times he has fought against the K-class threat of extinction alone, and at the age of only 27, he has reached the mythical SSS rank.

No, it should be said that he is a living god himself! If he is not a weapon cultivated by the GOC itself, he will definitely be put on the "supernatural hunt list" and become a wanted target of the GOC.

But if there is no if, Conman belongs to the GOC, belongs to the "human" camp, so the above idea can never be true.

At a glance, Conmande saw three people standing by the lake, one of whom was the head of the GOC Huaxia in this incident.

"Level 3 investigator Cai Yuzhang, according to the on-site command system, your command in this incident will be handed over to me. The young man with a clear face spoke in a gentle tone towards his colleagues, but no one dared to ignore the weight of every word in his mouth, "Is there any objection?"

"No! Of course not! "Cai Yuzhang dare to have any objections, his brain is all mushy now!

And it's fully compliant.

When a senior investigator is sent to join a task that is carried out by an investigator of a lower rank than him, he is entitled to supreme command of the field in the absence of a higher command.

Comand is the highest-level Level 5 investigator and can theoretically take the initiative in any form.

The GOC and the security agencies responsible for related matters in various countries have a common staff system - for example, the main staff members such as investigators and researchers are divided into five levels of authority, with the highest level of five and the lowest level of the first level.

It is only the level of authority, not necessarily the strength of the ability.

And Commande's SSS rating ...... That's actually the GOC's threat level.

From the lowest G level to the highest SSS level, it also means that the threat level to human civilization is from low to high.

There is no doubt that SSS units have the power to completely destroy humanity, but only that power. It's like no one ever doubted that Comand would destroy humanity.

In addition to the standard ratings, there are some special ratings.

For example, the "K" rating refers to anything or phenomenon that has the potential to create an apocalyptic picture. No matter how easy it is to solve, or how far away it is, K is K, the sword of Damocles that hangs over humanity forever.

"You are the first investigator from the Huaxia Special Department to arrive here? I'm Kangmande, can you introduce the current situation?" As the strongest person who can crush the audience in terms of absolute strength, Kangmande behaved extremely politely, even too politely, which made the other party uncomfortable.

His name is a spiritual deterrent that no one can ignore.

"Ah, yes, I'm Song Yuanjin from the National Security Special Office, and I received the news and arrived here about five hours ago. Song Yuanjin responded with some restraint, and the excitement of the idea had already been crushed into ashes in front of the heavy reality.

However, Xia Qing next to her obviously did not have such a strong psychological adjustment ability, and she was still in a trance, looking like she was doubting life.

Shouldn't Conmand be a tall, dignified figure to look at? Why does he look so ...... Belch...... Normal?

Except for his Westernized appearance and rare light cyan eyes, he looks no different from the ordinary people who can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Huaxia.

The Mandarin spoken is more standard than many Chinese people.

The only difference is probably ...... How much better looking is Commander?

After all, mixed-race and beautiful people - this has become the consensus of many people.

Walking out with this look, don't say anything about deterrence, saying that he is a new star in the entertainment industry guarantees that everyone will believe him! No, how can you think so? Your Excellency Kangmande's appearance obviously beats those so-called little fresh meat!

"Xia Qing, tell me about the information you found. Song Yuanjin pulled her out of her thoughts.

Xia Qing came back to her senses in an instant, and when she picked up her partner's words, it seemed that she hadn't thought about anything when she was out of her mind just now, "Ah......? I don't know much. ”

Conmande: "Just say you know, there should be a different source than ours. ”

Xia Qing: "Uh...... Good. "Does this count as a leak? No, doesn't it! Who can refuse this person's positive request? Who dares to refuse!

"Forty-five years ago, there was a spatial anomaly called 'Broken Red Mang' here, and the investigation at that time did not find the cause of the anomaly, and the follow-up treatment was to rebuild the water ecosystem and set up a spatial stabilizer three times. Five years ago, the regional quarantine ended, and the area around Hongmang Lake entered a normal development process. ”

Today, it has become an iconic part of the city's development, with various buildings located here, resembling a second city center.

It is fortunate that the Hongmanghu neighborhood has not been open to the outside world for a long time, the construction has been basically completed, the investment has just begun, and the residential area has not yet opened, and there are very few people staying here.

If we had waited a little longer, the mass disappearance of people would not have been so easy to suppress.

"I can't find the reason, and it's still now?" was obviously a question sentence, but the speaker said a certain taste.

"Yes. Xia Qing glanced at Cai Yuzhang, and immediately replied after being nodd.

Neither the National Security Service nor the GOC have found anything in previous investigations.

If it weren't for the news that Comand was coming, they would have been ready for another dive.

Now that he's here, will things turn around?

Definitely!

There is no exception that this person can't handle!

In front of everyone's attention, Comand strode to the edge of the lakeshore and stared at the calm surface of the lake for a few seconds, and then the communication was connected.

The whole set of actions did not shy away from anyone, so frank that the viewers were embarrassed.

But embarrassed, embarrassed, they still pricked up their ears to listen to Conmande's conversations with others—even though they could only hear Conmande's voice.

"What were the activities of Ouroboros in China 45 years ago, and did they have a spatial impact in other parts of the world during the same period?"

"Inquire about the possible symbolism of the following imagery in the world tag: Eye and Fire, Binding Obeli, Half-Decaying World Tree, and Twin Button Line Snake Eater. ”

"I'm religious, do you disagree?"

"Who are the remnants of the Ouroboros Initiative?"

"......" Kangmande suddenly turned around and beckoned to them, Cai Yuzhang hurriedly ran over, "Among the missing people, is there a person who is called Urya?"

"Yes, Wu Erya, a senior in high school, just turned 18 years old this year, and came to have a class reunion with her classmates. Cai Yuzhang immediately handed over the missing list.

Conmande swept everyone back at a glance and returned the list, as if everyone was the same in his eyes.

Cai Yuzhang held the list and watched him continue to talk to other people, twisted his neck, and silently retreated to his original position.

Well, this distance is more secure.

"Yes, if she's not dead. ”

"Okay, I know. ”

Comand cut off the communication, and the others could only try to guess the details of the conversation based on what little they heard.

Guess...... Can't guess.

The four doors, which lead to four different worlds, are now closed and cannot be forcibly opened by external forces.

This is not a spatial anomaly at all, but a stable transition channel constructed with Weiye technology, which of course cannot be detected.

But it was activated a few hours ago.

Luck?

No, all coincidences that occur in time are inevitable.

The Ouroboros Initiative opened one of the passages forty-five years ago, and again forty-five years later, just as the heavens were in their sphere of influence.

Could it be a coincidence?

Conmand doesn't believe it, and he doesn't need to give himself a reason not to believe it.

It's time for the Ouroboros to be cleaned up again.

Until then, if he can come up with a way to open the passage, he'll tap it while cleaning it up.

Ouroboros Initiative Earth liaison who suddenly learned the news: "Eh, no! Hongmang Lake is not under our control!" The group of people who opened the passage in the first place didn't know where to run for a long time, and now even the liaison has changed a few times.

Is there any difference? They are all people of the same organization, and they are used to carrying the black pot on their backs.

The difference between "......" is big!

However, in the face of the GOC's threat, they naturally did not dare to spray back directly, so they had to respond: "You can provide relevant information, but there is no way to find the person concerned for the time being." ”

Commander: "Ten minutes for you, let someone who can open the passage come down." ”

The operator of the "......" was stunned, but thinking of Conmande's record, he could only hold his breath, "Your Excellency Conmande, is twenty minutes okay? Ten minutes is really too short." ”

It's not a hassle to check the information, but it's a hassle to find someone!

"Five minutes. ”

“…… Okay, you wait. "He'll apply for a change of place when he gets back!

Report the news, and the rest is not something he can participate in.

"Mobilize a special handling team here in five minutes. Comand finally left the lake and ordered as he passed Cai Yuzhang.

"Yes. Cai Yuzhang watched him walk towards the empty Hongmang Lake Hotel, turned around and quickly pulled out the GOC mission system to see if there was a special processing team nearby that could be felt within five minutes.

If not...... It can only be temporarily formed from among the existing investigators.

Song Yuanjin and Xia Qing glanced at each other, decisively found a place to stay, and reported their situation here to their superiors.

Comand is here, and he seems to be quite serious, do you still need them here?

"Leave the investigation to them, you stay where you are, and monitor the GOC's actions. ”

"We get it. ”

The GOC is absolutely on the side of humanity, and everything they do is for the sake of human civilization as a whole.

In the general direction, there is no conflict with the National Security Special Department, but I am not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

In terms of special affairs, it is the national interest that comes first.

If everything goes well, it is best for the Chinese side to be mentally prepared for any unexpected situations.

Deal with every abnormal event, and be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

……

The ninth purification zone of mankind, the management center.

"It's still the third stage?" asked the visitor from the first area as soon as he stepped out of the light of spatial teleportation.

And the people of the ninth arrondissement were only more anxious than he was, and the answer was swift and concise, and they did not dare to hide it in the slightest.

"Stage 3 is an hour and 17 minutes ago observations, when fully actinized individuals have appeared. ”

"Did you observe?" said the Sector 1 commissioner, Hel the Darkchaser, "and the number?"

"There was only one, and when we found the first one, we cut off all the transmission of camera data. ”

"Understood. His eyes are fully obscured by a black blindfold, but this does not seem to affect his vision.

The others who walked out of the waypoint were dressed in the same outfit as Hull, their eyes tightly covered.

They are the Dark Chasers, a special group of humans who have been trained to deal with the Light Chasers.

The Light Chaser is a general term for human beings who have received the influence of light factors and have not yet experienced the phenomenon of light causes.

They are outwardly indistinguishable from other humans, and even the Light Chasers themselves may not be aware of their identity.

To put it bluntly, the light-chaser is the incubation period of the light-causative "disease", and the incubation time varies from individual to individual, generally within 3 to 5 hours.

However, it has also been found that critically endangered lightseekers with an incubation time of more than 24 hours.

Lightseekers will stay as much as possible in high-traffic areas, especially where all eyes meet.

Seventy percent of the Light Chasers will end their latent state when they are seen by a large number of humans at the same time, and enter the process of light factorization.

There is reason to believe that this is their purposeful expansion of the scope of light pollution.

Known traits of lightseekers - normal IQ, clear self-awareness, fond of crowds, surprisingly optimistic during psychic tests, extreme aversion to dark and black substances close to 1, and unconsciously avoiding contact with smooth mirrors.

The best way to test them is through the "specular test", in which the subject is trapped in a pure white cold light curtain wall, in which 99% of the light chasers will start the photofactorization process uncontrollably.

Under normal circumstances, the first stage of light pollution is when unphotocausated light chasers are discovered and controlled in time.

This means that as long as the Light Chasers are dealt with, this contamination can basically be suppressed.

When the photofactorization process has already begun and is detected in time, the light pollution enters the second stage.

This means that the situation is somewhat out of control, but it is still within the acceptable range of losses. As long as specular reflections are placed around the photocausative individual, waiting for its self-evaporation to disappear, and dealing with the potential light-seeker individual, the situation will be most relieved.

In the event of a fully actinic instance that is not surrounded by specular reflections, the level of Light Contamination will immediately slide into Stage 3.

During the period of time before it completely disappears, the photocalyptus will fly non-directional in space, becoming a moving polluting light source.

By this time, its glow is no longer avoidable by covering your eyes.

Humans who enter within 10 meters of the light-causing body, regardless of whether they see the light or not, even if they are blind, will directly become light-chasers and even start the photofactorization process on the spot.

When all the humans within the space become Light Chasers, this is the final fourth stage.

All will be led to the other side of the Light, where nothing can stop them.

"An hour, hopefully it's still too late. Sasha snatched the control platform from the Central Administrator of Sector 9 and began retrieving Site 12 logs.

The normal people around all walked out of the room consciously, leaving only some of the dark chasers to stay in this control room.

Even if that kind of light has gone through the data process, its propagation ability has not been filtered out, and it still has a good threat.

Those humans who don't have light resistance are better off avoiding it.

Hull didn't stay with his teammates and walked out of the sealed door with the administrator of District 9.

He also needs to ask some questions.

"Where are those observers?"

In order to deal with the threat of animism, reduction, and light that may occur at any time, the construction of the purification area is sub-site.

Each site is a completely sealed structure, forming a material circulation system that can be independently supported, without any direct physical connection between each other, and access is all by spatial teleportation arrays, and the audit is extremely strict.

Reflective mirrors are the most basic façade materials used to prevent light from being transmitted to other sites if one site is contaminated.

Humans living on different sites can only learn about the situation at other sites from news reports in the management center, and private communication is absolutely forbidden - to prevent the possible contagion of light and singing.

However, it is not possible for the hub to ignore the situation at each site, and they send specific observers to receive and summarize the situation at each site.

These observers are the first contact with information, and they will also become the biggest threat when pollution erupts.

"The two observers at Site-12 are in the quarantine cell, and they have not been in contact with anyone else from the beginning of the contamination to the time they are quarantined, and they have not yet exhibited the characteristics of lightseekers. ”

"Okay, take me there. Hull nodded, as most of his face was covered by an eyepatch, and no one else could tell his expression.

"Good news, Hull, there are only three fully photofactorized individuals, all of which are confined to the northern zone, and the pollution level in the other areas has only reached the second stage. Sasha's voice came from the communicator.

"Can Site 12 be deconstructed?"

Sasha didn't answer immediately, she quickly searched the central system for the blueprint of Site 12, "It can be deconstructed!"

"Then deconstruct and purify the other three areas first. Hull ordered his teammates as he walked towards the isolation cell, "Sasha, be mindful of the situation in the northern zone, and when the potential percentage of Light Chasers rises to half, directly execute the spatial banishment. ”

"I understand!"

During the program's operation, Site-12 began to deconstruct itself.

The living quarters, which were originally a monolithic area, have been divided into four areas, south, east, and west, and now they are only being further separated.

Divide a dangerous can into a high-risk can and three less dangerous cans, and the number of people who can be saved is much more at once.

In fact, the northern region can be further isolated and deconstructed, but the three light factors scurrying around in it really make it difficult to grasp the timing, not to mention that there are other human beings who have entered the process of light factorization one after another, which has raised the difficulty of isolation.

Sasha stared at the real-time monitoring map, and had to isolate and deconstruct it little by little from the edge department.

It's like cutting a cake, cutting off the parts that are still intact and can be salvaged bit by bit, compressing the range of motion of the photo-factors, and finally confined them to the smallest possible range.

If there were still living humans in this range at the end, he would still have to ask for more blessings.

That's all the Darkchasers can do.

It's a very simple process, but only the one who chases the darkness can complete it, because the light that comes out of the monitoring process is also a virus that cannot be contaminated by humans.

And it's just a means to reduce losses, and the real repression needs to go into the polluted area, and let ordinary people go? That's to deliver food!

Sasha simply activated the entire Site-12 wall, turning it into an infinite number of compartments.

This is the most correct thing to do, but for those who are isolated from the light-factor...... It's basically dead.

- This is a necessary sacrifice.

Once again, she comforted herself.

- It's inevitable.

The Darkchaser does not hesitate because of fearless emotions.

She cut to the other surveillance camera.

Hull has emerged from the quarantine chamber and is on his way to Site-12's waypoint with the others.

The other sites are unaware of what happened to their compatriots, and continue to live in the same ignorance, continuing their lives in this dying world.

Huh, is there someone on the buffer platform?

It doesn't look like someone from the 9th arrondissement, is it from the "outside"?

Traverser!

Will they bring a new turnaround?

In anticipation, Sasha zoomed in to make sure she knew what their communication was about.

Roy, who was in charge of receiving these traversers, swept his gaze over the three people with different expressions, "What is the Exotic Light?"

Urya breathed a sigh of relief, and the tone of her reply was not without sympathy, "A man who insists that this world is dark and the other side is light...... Religious groups?"

"They don't think we belong to the world we live in, that it's dark, rotten, evil, it's a prison of sin. ”

"They believe that we are trapped in the physical body, that our existence in this world is 'death' in itself, and that only by breaking out of the double prison of the body and the world and returning to the sea of light is 'life'. ”

Our "true self" comes from beyond this world, from another "world of light". That is where our homeland is truly live, where our existence and freedom lie. On the other side of the light, there is a true "God", the ultimate being of the highest and the best, our true "Father", our root and belonging.

Because he is outside the world, he has many titles such as the god of a foreign land, the different, the hidden, and the nameless.

The way the world imprisons us, in addition to all kinds of obstacles in time and space, gives us a physical body.

Our flesh belongs to this world, it is the vessel that binds us, it is the first shackle and cage to us.

We should break away from all the captivity and resistance that the world has imposed on us, and we should remember our home of light and return to it.

Only by giving up everything in this world can we return to the original soul born of light.

- This is the mind of the Alien Light, and they are convinced of this concept.

So, there's nothing wrong with saying they're a religious organization.

"That's why the light is factorized, they want to turn humans into souls of light that they can take to the other shore?" Roy immediately deduced.

Uraya hesitated, "It's about the same, but for us, it's no different than death." ”

She didn't know much about the Exotic Light, but there should be nothing wrong with what she just said.

Who knows if the so-called "other side of the light" is true! They live well in this world, why should they give up everything for a world that cannot be seen or touched?

I'm afraid it's not that I'm impatient to live and want to die, and I'm looking for some excitement!

However, such "normal thinking" in the eyes of the exotic light is not able to see the truth of the world, which makes them sigh.

"According to you, exotic lights can communicate?" Roy's eyes lit up slightly.

Even Sasha, who was watching the movie remotely in the center, was a little excited.

If they could communicate, their situation might change, and it wouldn't be worse than it is now!

"Exotic light is communicative. Urya's tone changed, "But you're not here with the Exotic Light, it's just a warm-up process before their true entity appears. ”

"Even if you can communicate with them, don't try to make them give up that magical mind! If you could, they wouldn't be a well-known cancer of diversity." ”

It's been done by other organizations a long time ago, so how can it be your turn?

"Why?" Sasha couldn't help but ask, even though the other couldn't hear it, and watching hope slip through her fingers was more uncomfortable than never seeing hope.

Because they believe that their existence is higher than this world, and that God on the other side supports them in everything they do. Duan Keyu frowned, "Are you going to reason with religion?"

"For the universe is perfectly sinful, and God is perfectly good. This was said by another voice.

The heavens were stunned again, and a chill welled up in their hearts.

"Easy ...... Lan. The name tossed and turned on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't get it out in the end. The horizon in front of me was split in half, overlapping each other and distinct.

In the spiritual sea of the heavens, the astral fluid, which should have fallen into eternal sleep, recondensed into a humanoid form and looked at the owner of this body, while his eyes still had an inhuman color, like a starry night.

The heavens immediately became nervous, Yi Lan's strength was undoubted, but after being devoured by himself, how could he still wake up?

Is Star Fluid so strong?

Or is the memory he got completely incomplete?!

In the slowly aggravating atmosphere, Yi Lan tilted his head and frowned: "I gave people their heads directly, and you haven't killed me yet?"

Huh?

[1. What is the situation of giving away heads?

2. How do I know why you're not dead!

3. Or ...... Do you send it again?

4. What does the previous sentence mean?
