Chapter 36: Online Again
A few days ago, Mo Chen directly "annihilated" the entire spirit exploration team.
Although none of them were in danger of life, the police who arrived later also realized that it was not a joke to report false police...... Although they said that after receiving the call to the police and figuring out the specific reason, they all thought so.
Even if you can't figure out what the reason is, it's an indisputable fact that the whole team is unconscious and thrown outside the house-
It can't be said to be haunted, that would not be in line with the core values, but it must have suffered some vicious incident, and it can't be their own collective coma for no reason.
And they were obviously so frightened that they went to the hospital and lay down for several days.
If you are abroad, I am afraid that you will not have to go to a psychiatric hospital for a long time to recuperate, or you will need to be followed up by a psychiatrist at any time after recovery.
But even if it is in China, it seems that they are now like this, they seem to be planning to return to their old business, and they are not scared to quit the ranks of soul exploration anchors.
To be honest, they did have such a plan, but the encounter that night, although it was an unimaginable nightmare, also detonated their popularity, and their entire team became popular almost overnight.
It hasn't started for the past few days, and the audience in the live broadcast room is much larger than the number of viewers in their peak in the past.
The recorded video of that night was also widely circulated, of course, not many people really believed in it, but they all said that "good acting" and "real special effects" or something, which are a hundred times stronger than the current domestic garbage horror films.
A lot of people were really scared.
In this way, it is debatable whether it is really necessary to withdraw from the ranks. They have paid such a big price, they are all going to be scared out of the psychological shadow, and the result seems to have detonated the theme of the live broadcast of the soul, and then they are about to quit?
- That's not a good deal.
People are lucky, except for being scared enough, they were not really hurt before, and they are naturally a little unwilling to give up the huge benefits that are within reach in front of them.
After struggling for a few days, they still made a decision, they have already been scared, what can they do if they quit, can it be regarded as if nothing happened?
This is obviously impossible, and in that case, why quit? And they can't be so bad forever, right?
Taking a step back, even if you are really unlucky, you will encounter this kind of thing in the future, it does not mean that you can completely avoid it if you quit...... That's probably it, they find a lot of such reasons for themselves and others.
But the most important reason is really for the future.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come back at this time, isn't it just to catch up with the heat and increase their popularity? If the heat passes, everyone doesn't care, and they come back, what's the point?
However, the big house became a bit popular for a while because of their live broadcast of soul exploration.
It's just that considering that a group of people almost encountered an accident there a few days ago, and thinking of some possibilities, the police who opened the case cordoned off the scene.
Naturally, the police will not believe those supernatural statements, but only reason from the logical point of view of ordinary criminal cases.
For example, the big house may have become a lair for some illegals, and the team didn't encounter ghosts, but they happened to encounter those illegals that night, so the series of events that followed.
β so they want to be able to find some useful clues from it.
Anyway, to be specific, the events of that night became a hot news, but the people who circulated it didn't particularly believe it, and only promoted it as a horror movie clip or something.
It's just that because it didn't deliberately promote feudal superstition, it didn't attract any special attention, although the video images were circulating on the Internet, but many people felt that the video itself was fake.
Maybe some technical experts will find that there is no problem with the video itself, and there is no trace of post-processing, but this also does not mean anything. It can only be said that the image itself is real, but the thing taken may be fake...... It is not surprising that this is the case.
Anyway, it's just a sentence, and it became popular, but not many people believe that it will not be taken seriously when it rises to the national level, and will only be treated casually as a celebrity scandal.
After all, are there still fewer supernatural videos shot in the world every year? Unless there is some conclusive evidence of this, or it causes an unimaginable shock, no one will care.
This is quite good news for Mo Chen.
The big house on the outskirts of the city and the space within a certain range of the vicinity, the passage of the Void Realm has been opened, and the exotic physics is steadily moving in the direction of the surroundings, slowly eroding or assimilating the physical rules of the real world.
It's slow, but it's the kind that doesn't stop.
As long as Mo Chen continues to open up other nodes step by step in the future, he will be able to achieve his goal sooner or later...... Of course, this kind of thing cannot be hidden forever, but the slower the state apparatus reacts, the better his chances of winning.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Shame on the world.
Near the southernmost point of the Empire, even though it was still quite far away, the city was not visible at the end of the horizon - Karnaca, the edge of the world.
But Emily, who was standing on the deck with the sea breeze blowing, kept looking in that direction, and felt that the air around her was already full of strange smells, filled with every air molecule, and even the sea breeze carried that smell.
Salt, fish, spices.
After all, this is the territory of Sokonos, known as the jewel of the south, and she doesn't know how to fit in, but this is her father's birthplace, so part of her belongs here.
These are my people, or were my people before Delilah usurped the throne......
Delilah, I've got a new ability to settle accounts with you. I just need to make a plan.
As if she had made up her mind, Emily exhaled softly, she raised her arm, looked at the mechanical heart she held in her hand, and gently stretched out her slender index finger and stroked it.
Mother's beloved voice, imprisoned in such a strange device.
It was comforting and scary to be able to talk to her again. Because she and the person she knew in the past are not exactly the same.
Moreover, if this heart is absent, you must focus on it in a mental way in order to be able to use it.
This is one of his only two allies at the moment, and he gave it to him when he fled Danwall-
Emily doesn't trust people at the moment, but Meghan Foster says she and former royal physician Anton Sokolov are old acquaintances and the people who helped her get out of the coup, so she can be trusted.
As for the other mysterious guy, although the origin is unknown, it should also be believed.
Because that guy was the same kind as her father, and how terrifying the magical abilities of that kind of person were, Emily had seen it with her own eyes, and now she had experienced it herself.
Under the circumstances of that day, neither he nor Meghan had any hope of escaping.
If that guy had done it, he wouldn't have been here now, but instead of doing it, he gave the mechanical heart back to himself.
And in the mechanical heart, the mother's voice also said that he was someone who could be trusted, even if he was on the same side as himself for other goals, but that was enough.
There will be no one who is not related to you, but who will help you unconditionally.
Because of what interests are pursued, and being able to stand on your side, is already a real ally.
Emily knew that her Danwall, her home, was no longer a place for her to settle down. And I am no longer safe, I can no longer be safe.
Therefore, it is necessary to strive for all possible forces to gain an advantage...... The sooner you figure this out, the better.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps on the deck behind her, and Emily came back to her senses slightly, and then asked without looking back:
"Megan, are we ready to go?"
"That's it." Megan Foster replied, "We can't go straight to Karnaca, we have to go there in a dinghy......"
"I know this, but that person ...... Haven't come back yet? Emily nodded, and then without waiting for Meghan to answer, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "yes, I can't get him any compensation now, it's normal for him to never return, right?" β
"I said Your Majesty, please have some confidence in me, it is an investment behavior, and I can understand that there are risks...... I didn't think that I would ask you to give a year-end bonus when I first joined the company. β
A slightly unfamiliar voice answered the Empress's question in place of Megan Foster, and the sea breeze reached her ears.
"Huh?"
Emily was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned around to find that the mysterious young man had appeared on the deck at some point.
Captain Meghan next to her made a shrug, after all, she didn't have time to say anything, and Her Majesty Emily, the Empress, made such a statement that shattered the determination of her companions, and she couldn't stop it.
But although it's a bit rude, it's not a big problem, at least it's not slandering behind your back, saying bad things about people or something.
Ten minutes laterβ
The dinghy sailed forward on the calm and sunny sea, although Mo Chen felt that it looked like some kind of jet ski, but it was quite quiet.
The roar of the engine engine or something, there is no thing at all, and the action is very hidden.
Megan Foster was driving the dinghy, and by the way, she explained the information she had gathered to the two people in the back seat, and she said without looking back:
"The old duke had spent decades building Karnaca before his death, but in just a few years after the new duke succeeded to the throne, the city's wealth had been lost...... The city is now under attack by an unknown plague and is in a state of tyranny. β
"When you go to the Addermire Institute, you have to be careful, the new Duke handed over the city to the Davids, you don't know how vicious they are in persecuting the people, and even strangers will be attacked or killed without saying anything......"
"I'd like to send you directly to the Academy's island, but it's too heavily guarded, and the Davids have built a lookout on the island that no strange ships can approach...... You'll just have to get to Karnaca and then take the tram to the institute......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The two people sitting behind the dinghy seemed to be a little absent-minded, and they didn't know if they had listened, Megan Foster frowned slightly, but her eyes swept over the left hands of the two without a trace, and she was relieved.
If you can't listen to it, you can't listen to it, for ordinary people, if you want to break through many obstacles and enter the Adermeire Research Institute, it is naturally extremely difficult, and the slightest carelessness may be life-threatening.
But for these two "aliens" who both have the mark of the Outsider, it is probably not much more difficult than carrying a shower on the balcony of their own home.
Meghan shook her head, then added with emotion:
"I told you before, Your Majesty, so I won't talk about it anymore. Anyway, the last time Anton was discovered, he was being taken to the Addermire Institute by the Kingkiller. Unless the killer is a patient there, it can't be justified. Maybe he needs medicine or something? β
"If I had to wish you good luck, then he would be dead...... So, when you're done with everything and shut down the watchtower on Research Island, I'll sail over. β
