"The heavily polluted area has been dealt with and the containment process has ended. Sasha's nerves, which had been tense so far, finally got a chance to relax, "The rest of the cleanup can be taken over by the Ninth District's own people, and you can return now." ”

With that, she turned on the cognitive filter that came with the surveillance system, and informed the administrators of District 9 that they could come in.

Bright air pollution is a common occurrence, but it can often be curbed at an early stage, and it is actually relatively rare to have to resort to the first zone in the third stage of development.

The Darkness Chasers are a special team that can only be cultivated in the first district, so in most cases, each purification area still relies on its own staff to deal with light pollution.

In the absence of darkers, in order to prevent managers from being infected by light due to remote monitoring, the technology of "cognitive filter" came into being.

The principle is also very simple, just like adding a layer of filter to the monitoring screen, all the image data will be re-engraved and reset after being collected, although the final image can still see what the original look like, but there will inevitably be a large degree of distortion.

However, this also ensures that those "infected light" are blocked in the data transmission stage, and will not affect the people sitting in front of the central management platform.

When dealing with the third stage of the pollution event, the Darkchaser needs to turn off the cognitive filter in order to see more details in the surveillance.

"I'll just leave the rest to us, thank you very much. "When the people who received the message returned to the central control room, the images on all the screens were no longer as clear and detailed as they had just been, as if they had been put into a thin code that did not affect the basic viewing effect.

Sasha stood up from her seat and nodded her head in response, "No, it's our job." ”

In the endless spread of light on the spiritual level, to protect a peaceful and light-sheltered place for humanity - this is the whole meaning of the existence of the Darkchasers.

The Darkchaser, the Patrolman...... They are all "another kind of people" who are destined to sacrifice everything for the survival of more human beings.

"Hull, I'm waiting for you on the teleportation platform. She made her way out and contacted her captain.

The other end of the communication channel did not respond in a timely manner.

"Hull, please respond immediately. ”

“……”

There was a premonition in the dark.

Sasha paused as she stepped out of the on-site portal, and without hesitation, she re-selected the option to return to the central management area, and sent an alarm message to all the Darkcasters.

"Attention Hull! he may have ......"

"Sasha, abandon Site12, banish the entire Site12, Captain, him...... No...... It's not a photocaustic ...... at all" The voice seemed to come from an extremely distant place, so distorted that it was impossible to hear who the voice belonged to, and the intermittent words were mixed with a faint murmur.

"He really ...... What the hell is going on now? Can you answer that?!"

The barely audible words of the "......" were completely replaced by cacophony, and communication was cut off.

Sasha was dizzy for a moment in the spatial teleportation, and her thoughts were blank for a moment.

But this should not have happened.

They should have long been accustomed to teleportation, to death, to ...... Lose.

There was no time to feel more emotions overflowing from the bottom of my heart in this sudden situation, and the habitual calmness trained by the logistics command position made the darkchaser make the most correct choice at the moment-

"Turn off all surveillance! Immediately exile Site-12 to all facilities!"

This sentence conveyed to all management units is not a reminder, but an order given to non-professionals as one of the special handlers of light pollution in the human purification area.

Mandatory orders for the central system began to be issued synchronously, and the execution phase was not directly jumped into the implementation phase without the management of the ninth district.

Spatial exile procedures were activated, and there were some invisible fluctuations in the stable spatial partition outside of the man-made facility in Sector 9, and before anyone knew it, Site-12 was abandoned by the whole.

All visual observations of the area, including Site-12 and adjacent sites, are forbidden, regardless of whether or not the cognitive filter is turned on, and whether or not anyone can see the data.

This is not enough.

The isolation mechanism in the central control room is automatically activated, completely separating the inside and outside of the room.

This emergency mechanism is not so much to protect the people in the central management as it is to prevent the top-down infection of the people inside.

The decontamination zone has a monitoring network located in all locations, but only the central control room can call up the full picture.

Other sub-management bodies can only mobilize images that fall within their own management.

The civil and public areas below cannot be called at all, and even the data input channel is unique. Any images that will be shown on it will go through rigorous vetting and verification before being released.

Not even the central axis can change this system. After all, no one can guarantee that there will be no one in the management who can't bear the pressure and decide to "become the light" with the people below, let alone that there will be any guys among them who have already started to be photogenic and want to "bring the light to more people".

Such a mechanism has maximized the safety of the people.

Unless contamination erupts in their area, the chance of being infected by external light will be infinitely close to zero.

In contrast, the threat to the upper echelons is infinitely greater.

They receive countless image messages every day, from inside the decontamination zone and from outside the decontamination zone. As long as any node goes wrong, there will inevitably be a new round of sacrifice.

But it's unavoidable.

Humanity has become accustomed to sacrifice.

But they threw it to the minimum amount of sacrifice they could.

For example, at times like this—

Seal the central control room and completely isolate the people inside from the outside world.

In this way, even if managers are "polluted", it will be difficult for them to bring this "pollution" to more people.

As for the mood of the suspected "polluted person" inside, that is not in the scope of consideration.

They may be grieving, but so what?

As soon as they returned to their respective posts, the management of District 9, who were faced with such a situation, fell silent for a while.

In the surveillance video presented to them, there are no corners of Site 12 anymore, only a concept map of the space of the decontamination area suspended in the center of the room, showing everyone the process of spatial exile.

All facilities belonging to Site-12 have been detached from the main body of the building, and a temporary spatial transition zone has been lowered from above.

Then, the area, including all the people inside, will enter the outside world through a brief spatial transition.

Enter a dangerous world filled with animism and singing.

"Is it an accident? With a cognitive filter, we should be fine......

"Who knows? ”

“……”

It happened so suddenly, Sasha gave all these orders almost instantly, so many people didn't even react.

What happened? Didn't the suppression succeed? Why did you block the transmission of information? What happened to the polluted area? They ...... Have you ever been infected?

I don't know.

Even Sasha herself doesn't know.

There was no more valid information coming from the communication channel, and she could only deduce the current state from the few words she had gotten at the end.

It should be Hull who is at fault, and this time the situation is different from the usual photocausation.

Hull is their captain and is the strongest in terms of light resistance, but sometimes the reality is so unreasonable.

The strongest are the first to go wrong.

Just by chance?

Or did the cultivation of the Darkchaser go wrong in the first place?

She had no way of knowing, and it was clearly not something to waste time thinking about in such an urgent situation.

Hull has an accident – the team is out of touch – information shielding – the threat level cannot be determined.

Then follow the emergency response plan and abandon all threat areas and people in them.

- All for the continuation of mankind!

- Sacrifice is essential.

They had sacrificed countless people for this reason, and now, it was the turn of the Darkchasers themselves.

"I just didn't expect it...... It will be so fast. Sasha used her authority to swipe open the door to the central control room - of course, it was one-way, and she was not allowed to enter or leave.

She stepped into the isolation hallway, allowing the door made of special reflective alloy to close and lock behind her.

The barrier in front of it opened up layer by layer, leading to a console full of people.

Not long ago, the people who were smiling and handing over the work to her turned back one after another, and their eyes were full of acceptance of reality.

"You can go to the second level and wait for a while, I'll be alone here. Sasha said to them.

"No, let's get started. The representative of the manager broke the silent gaze of the two sides, and his tone was normal, as if what he was facing now was just a small problem that would arise every day, rather than a life-and-death decision for everyone here.

The short time it took for Sasha to return to the control room was enough for them to analyze the current situation and the position of themselves and the others.

They remain the highest authorities in the purification area, and they are also carriers of potential infection threats.

Site 12 had an accident that even the Darkcasters had not anticipated, and this time it was abandoned along with the "lightly polluted area" that had been cleared, and the severity can be imagined.

Once they returned to the control room, they began monitoring most of Site-12, and if something had already breached the cognitive filter, it would be useless to evade it now.

It is better to deal with the follow-up of Banishment Site 12 as soon as possible, and then wait for the verdict of fate.

Sasha didn't say anything more, and directly pulled out the picture of the contaminated area, and removed the cognitive filter.

The screen brightness is too high.

- This is the first feeling of everyone.

Feelings that arise in your mind before you see the picture clearly.

Then they realized that the brightness of the screen has not changed, only their own perception has changed.

There was some kind of "extra" light that came from that closed site.

Sasha quickly pulls up the block monitor where the Darkseeker team is located, and zooms in to full screen with one click.

For reasons that cannot be found for the time being, the communication was disrupted, but the video surveillance footage here was played undamaged.

So everyone in the entire monitoring room saw the light factor body transformed by Hull.

Or is it not a light factor?

……

"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as the earth. Ash entered all the books that Cheng Shiyao had worked so hard to bring all the way into the information system, and then looked through them by himself on public and private land.

Urya's gaze swept over the title of the book, not ignoring his words, "What exactly is the same?"

"The ecology, the species, even the climate – this planet used to be exactly the same as Earth. Ash closed the book and looked out at the sky.

There, beyond the transparent and invisible barrier of space, the green planet can be seen still alive, like countless days and nights in the past.

"Are you sure about the same?" said Urya, who had the academic spirit of daring to question, "We have not seen any creatures of familiar species on Earth on our way here. ”

Not to mention the strange animals, even the plants that look normal are all unknown new species.

She is naturally more willing to doubt this person's brain than to doubt her own knowledge.

"It's all said that it was once, but now it's long gone. Ash put the book back on the pile behind him, without the slightest intention of returning it to Cheng Shiyao.

Cheng Shiyao watched them being carried away by an autonomous robot, opened her mouth and said nothing.

All right...... It's not her book, but is it really good to just take it?

Isn't it already entered?

What's the use of still holding a paper book?

Collection?

It is said that "gold in the prosperous era of antiques and troubled times", and now at this moment of life and death of racial civilization, the profession of collector is not welcomed.

Wu Yan couldn't stand it and pulled her away, "What?

"No, I brought it all the way, and suddenly it was gone, and my heart was empty......" Cheng Shiyao didn't know what she wanted to express.

It's just a few books, or the library randomly selects them, where do you get so much reluctance.

It's not a parting with familiar things, what is she regretting!

"Okay, okay, don't think so much, if you can't go back, you can't go back, what can you do except touch the scene?" Wu Yan saw through her psychology at a glance, and pierced it without care.

It wasn't the books that made her care, but what they represented—the connection to the earth.

Ash told them that they couldn't go back when they came here.

But the people who have just arrived for half a day have not yet felt much, and they may have such awareness, but they have not yet had time to feel the deep meaning.

Cheng Shiyao may instinctively want to keep something from the earth, and she is usually attached to things.

It wasn't until she was said that she clearly realized - "yes...... There's no going back. ”

More than sadness, there is more confusion.

Crossing is not an experience that everyone has, and not everyone has such or such unwillingness and ambition.

Those who came here from Hongmang Lake are ordinary people with their own lives.

- At least most of them.

For them, crossing is more unfortunate than lucky.

Over there, Urya was still tirelessly clichés, and her thirst for "big material" had blinded her, what was the character of a female student in the third year of high school, the sense of responsibility to protect her classmates, and the reserve of an official member of Ouroboros...... All of them were thrown aside.

Does it matter that there is unknown information at your fingertips?

Of course not!

It's a hundred and eight thousand miles away, okay!

Duan Keyu didn't want to look at her after a few glances, and his attention returned to the person beside him, Wu Erya's life and death had nothing to do with him, or the life and death of the heavens needed to be watched.

But what is he doing?

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Tian looked fixedly in a certain direction, and he couldn't see too many expressions on his face, but that seriousness made Duan Keyu can't help but follow his gaze-

Nothing?

Wait a minute!

It seems like...... Is there some kind of spatial movement?

However, this is an artificial extra space, and it is not surprising that there are changes in this regard.

So what exactly is he looking at?

"Over there...... What's there?" The same question, the heavens threw it to Yi Lan.

"Exotic light. Yi Lan said to him with a certain attitude, "It's not the 'light pollution' in these people's mouths, it's the real exotic light." Go tell that Ouroboros girl that it's too late for her to take you on the run. ”

Are you sure?

Oh no...... How do you sound like that—so skilled?

[1, it makes sense, I slipped away.

2. I don't believe it, is there any evidence?

3. On running away, can't you?
