Bam!
After a small explosion, half of the disc … was destroyed.
Of course, the Manager's consciousness inside … also dissipated.
"Is this the end of everything?" Beeru looked at the destroyed disc and asked, "Did we save the world?"
"Perhaps," Norm said, "There are still some things to do."
Next … Lin and the others continued to investigate this place and checked the condition of the organs.
They found that the small parts of the organs exposed above the surface were almost all destroyed. However, this did not affect the organs at all. In other words, the special energy did not leak out in large quantities.
After a detailed investigation, Lin found no traces of the Manager, which should be considered as completely destroying it.
Of course, they only destroyed its consciousness on Ershi.
Ershi believed that the Manager's true consciousness should have already begun its journey … to the place it had been talking about.
It only used a part of its consciousness to attack Ershi. That way, regardless of whether it succeeded or not, it would not affect itself.
Ershi believed that they could try to track down … where the Manager's true consciousness went.
But for now, they would wait … for it to recover.
The biggest problem now was that they did not know the Manager's full plan … they did not know what other dangers would appear.
But if they kept it, it would cause even greater harm … at least, that was what Ershi believed. So, they had to destroy the disc first.
Since that was the case, they would continue to observe it.
Next, Lin, Norm and Beeru continued to stay in this crater because this was the place where things were most likely to happen.
But so far … nothing had happened.
At the same time, Lin and Norm used some of the bus's organs to create a wide-area detection device. This device mainly checked the surface … to see if there were any special energy gathering places.
Generally speaking, they could detect that there were no special energy gathering places on Ershi.
Although a more detailed examination would require the Ershi to break free from its solidification …
So, during this time, Lin continued to learn more about the past from the collective mind of serenity.
…
After the collective mind of serenity exhausted all of its believers, it found that the Manager did not continue to attack and capture it.
Instead, it sent out … a device to communicate with it.
This device was similar to a 'phone'. When the collective first saw this device, they thought it was a weapon, so they kept running away …
However, the device kept chasing after it, and when it finally forced the amalgamation into a dead end, the 'voice' of the manager sounded from the device.
The manager told the amalgamation that it was doing well.
The manager indicated that … the collective's escape and their subsequent battle were all part of the plan.
In reality, this was just a test.
It was a test for 'special energy control'.
The manager purposely let the amalgamation go so that it could control a large number of peaceful believers, while the manager used other energies to get some other believers … and then let them fight each other.
This was the true face of the energy control test.
The manager also said that it wanted the collective to continue cooperating with its next experiment. It could kill the collective at any time.
Although the collective wouldn't really die, once it lost its vessel, it would be … trapped in the biological mind again.
Although it was no different from being trapped, at least it could run around.
At that time, the amalgamation felt its own insignificance and powerlessness … In the end, it had no choice but to comply with its manager's orders.
In reality, it didn't know whether the manager could kill it or not, but it was shocked by the manager's words, so it obediently returned to the manager's … prison.
Then, the manager continued to use it for various experiments.
The latest experiment … was a rather special one.
The manager used the collective to test … the 'forced tranquility experiment'.
It was said that if a creature wanted to believe that it had achieved complete tranquility … it had to abandon all its past desires.
As long as it didn't achieve complete tranquility through strange methods like hypnosis, the creature would definitely abandon many of its desires.
Being in a state of desireless was the basis for a creature to believe that it had achieved complete tranquility.
When a creature believed that it had achieved complete tranquility, it would abandon almost all of its previous desires, and the peaceful collective would obtain the desires that it had abandoned.
That was why the collective's mind was so rich.
Based on this theory, the manager began to test the forced tranquility experiment.
This experiment placed the collective in a special room, and at the same time, many creatures would be placed in this room.
Then, this room would start to operate a certain special device.
The collective didn't know what it was, but if Lin's guess was right, it should be a device that could adjust the tranquility energy.
During the operation, the collective found that the creatures around it would slowly … abandon all of their desires.
When they were first caught, they were very frightened and wanted to escape, but they would soon become quiet.
Then, they would quickly start to lose their desires.
They wouldn't like anything, and almost didn't want to do anything. There was only one goal in their mind … and that was to pursue a way to maintain their lives forever. In other words, they became pure believers of tranquility.
The reason why it knew so clearly was that the lost desires of these creatures had all entered … the consciousness of the peaceful collective.
The collective could clearly feel the lost desires of these creatures … entering its own mind.
And it had these desires.
It found that it began to like the things that these creatures liked, and also their various emotions and personalities.
In the end, these creatures had almost abandoned all of their desires … and the collective had all of their desires.
The manager was quite satisfied with this situation. It disposed of these creatures that had abandoned their desires, and then continued to bring in the next batch of creatures for testing.
The situation was similar every time.
It was the manager who forcefully transferred the desires of these creatures to it, making these creatures believe that they had entered tranquility.
Then, it would kill these creatures and change to the next batch.
There seemed to be no end to the testing … because every batch of creatures would be disposed of, the collective couldn't develop believers.
But …
It developed its own desires.
The personality of the amalgamation had become extremely rich, under the situation of constant accumulation.
But it wouldn't go crazy because of this.
