I didn't know how long Qian Qian planned to play this game. In any case, 'Boundless Love' was still running. In just a few days, our special forces had investigated K City and the surrounding cities. They had a preliminary summary of all the supernatural incidents that had taken place. That afternoon, we received a map. The map showed that the supernatural incidents had a regular pattern. The first outbreak was in a small town a few hundred kilometers away from K City. Things had calmed down there, but K City had become the hardest hit. On average, there were three to five cases every day. However, the strange thing was that although we had sent out a lot of special agents and even heroic spirits, none of them had seen the first outbreak. If that was all, it would have been fine. However, what was even more suspicious was that when Lin Xue had scanned the entire city, she had encountered a similar problem. The supernatural incidents happened to be in her blind spots. She hadn't seen any of them with her own eyes.
Lin Xue mentioned this when she came later that day. She was quite interested in this kind of thing. "They seem to be hiding from me. Wherever my eyes look, there will be no wind and no waves. Even if I use my prophecy to predict when a supernatural phenomenon will happen, when my eyes look over, the future will change in an instant."
Everyone was in the living room. The pair of porcelain dolls were placed on the coffee table in front of them. Everyone was waiting for the sun to set so that they could talk to each other. I expressed my interest in Lin Xue's words. "Are you sure? You mean that the person who triggered the supernatural phenomenon not only has the ability to control the supernatural phenomenon, but he can also sense your power? "
Lin Xue nodded solemnly. "Perhaps we should pay more attention to this matter. The other party has evaded every agent, identified every Heroic Spirit, and even directly resisted my prophecy ability. Until now, the shadow of the other party in my eyes is just a gray figure, and I don't even know whether it's a man or a woman … Blockhead, think about it, can a normal human do this?"
"An earthling? Even a general of the Empire couldn't do it. "Sandora leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling." Don't underestimate the Empire's special agent's ability to hide. Also, don't forget that this world is Jingle's territory. They operate with the power of their God, but they were still discovered one by one. Let's assume that they've been exposed. Otherwise, there's no way to explain how they could hide in the blind spots of the special operations teams every time a supernatural incident breaks out. This means that the person isn't simple. "
"Speaking of which, did you ask Jingle to investigate?" Lin Xue lowered her head and looked at Little Bean, who was napping on my palm.
"I did, but it's useless. The world management system has limited accuracy. What's worse is that the management system is a pirated version. The search plugin just crashed a few days ago. I didn't look for Icetis and the others either. I don't think it's worth it. "
"Is that so? I'm not sure if this incident is big or small." Lin Xue sighed. "The prophecy showed me two answers. The first one tells me that the incident we're experiencing isn't worth mentioning and that the truth will come to light soon. The second answer points to a war, and the incident we're experiencing is the fuse of this war."
I pricked up my ears. "War? You didn't say anything about this. "
"Oh? Maybe it wasn't the right time then. "Lin Xue smiled embarrassedly." Blockhead, you know that sometimes the future can't be revealed so easily. You should be in awe of the future … Ahem, okay, I might have forgotten. "
Just as I was about to express my disdain for this unscrupulous fellow and ask what the so-called war was all about, an unfamiliar voice suddenly echoed in the air.
"Hey! How long do you guys plan on watching? "
Everyone followed the voice and looked around. In the end, they locked onto the source of the voice from the living room's TV. Then, they thought of something at the same time and turned to look at the pair of porcelain dolls on the table.
"Hey, Ah Jun, Ah Jun, this one really knows how to talk!" Shallow Shallow excitedly grabbed the two porcelain dolls and turned them around to observe them. Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing scream from the TV. This time, it was a girl's voice. "Ah! Put us down! You're crazy! We have acrophobia! "
"You're just a porcelain doll. Acrophobia?" Liliana said.
"Nonsense. If we were made of rubber, of course, we wouldn't be acrophobic!" The boy and girl's voices echoed at the same time.
The elder sister still remembered the important matter. She quickly waved her hand to quiet everyone down. She looked at the porcelain dolls in Shallow Shallow's hands and asked, "Let me confirm one thing first. Are you vengeful spirits?"
"Pfft, who knows?" The boy's voice said. "It looks like that brave uncle sold us out again. Sis, he even went to a strange place. They've been waiting for us to show up."
"Little brother, you have to be polite." The girl's voice followed. "But these people are really strange. I thought that uncle was brave enough. I didn't expect there to be people who specialize in finding ghosts."
Liliana had just been choked by the porcelain siblings. Now that they started chatting, she got even angrier. She immediately warned them to be polite and cooperate with us. But in return, they said in unison for the second time, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"Afraid of ghosts?!" I chuckled. Then, I snapped my fingers. "Anveena! Show up! "
The little ghost immediately came out of the TV and floated in front of everyone.
"Daughter, show up!"
Little Xijing fell from the air and landed on the sofa. She came over and hugged my arm.
"Angel girl, show up!"
Alaya landed on the carpet in front of us.
"Spiritual doll, show up!"
Mercury Lamp angrily flew down from the second floor. "Who's a spiritual doll?! Who's a spiritual doll?! You idiot, you think … Wow! "
She hung herself on the lamp.
"Watch out." I knocked on each of the porcelain dolls. "We're from an organization!"
The voice in the TV was trembling. It sounded like it was about to cry. "Sob, sister, we've fallen into the hands of Little Netherworld!"
If we had used the so-called might of the empire's military to suppress them, these two porcelain dolls probably wouldn't have understood what it meant. But if we used the "special members" of the family, the situation would be completely different. The two porcelain dolls were frightened by the cruel family in front of them and started to cry loudly. They finally cooperated obediently. We immediately seized the time and asked them about their origins.
However, after a round of questioning, we were disappointed. The porcelain dolls didn't know how they came to be.
One day, more than a month ago, they had suddenly awakened their intelligence. They had no idea what had happened before that, nor did they know what had happened when they had awakened their intelligence. They had never seen the so-called mastermind behind the scenes who had created them. It was just like the legends in the ghost stories, where the porcelain dolls suddenly had Reiki. Both of their abilities appeared at the same time. It was teleportation — some kind of teleportation across space.
The porcelain dolls performed the teleportation skill that they were most proud of in front of us. They instantly disappeared from the table and reappeared at the corner of the wall a few meters away. It was obvious that the two little devils wanted to take the chance to escape from the room. However, they were stopped. The surrounding walls were embedded with battleship armor, and the energy barrier was strong enough to trap any unauthorized teleportation user. Shirai Kuroko could attest to this.
"It's not a spatial folding effect caused by ordinary technology." Sandora's eyes flashed with golden light. She had just activated her scanning system. "It's similar to the teleportation skill of the Mystery class. It would be easy to explain if it's the instinct of an energy creature. Perhaps, it's an energy creature like Sadako that's parasitizing the porcelain dolls. However, we have to wait for the people in the research institute to come to a conclusion."
"Research institute?!" The porcelain dolls were shocked and started to cry. "No! We've been so cooperative. Don't be like this. If we go to the research institute, we will be dissected! "
I was curious. How did these two porcelain dolls know about the research institute?
In the end, they told me that they often watched movies online when they were checking orders on Taobao. Since they were curious about my identity, they usually watched science movies …
The panic of the two porcelain dolls was quickly calmed down by their elder sister. Under the "loli/shota killing halo" of the most powerful domineering sister in history, they finally understood that the so-called research institute was not some terrifying slicing machine. Moreover, they would be able to meet some interesting and wonderful things like themselves there. Thus, they calmed down and were sent to the City of Shadows by Pandora.
All children would bow down to their big sister's smile, even if they were porcelain.
After the porcelain dolls were sent away, we discussed the reason behind their appearance. Sandora had a few guesses. First, she suspected that a new energy creature had been released to Earth and that the supernatural incidents were caused by the splits of that energy creature. Second, her guess was the same as Lin Xue's. She felt that the supernatural phenomena were the manifestation of a space-time anomaly within a certain range. It was similar to the time when the world fragments collided with each other, causing the low-energy, stable space on Earth to have energy ripples. Some primitive energy creatures were born as a result. However, this guess couldn't explain why all the supernatural phenomena matched the ghost stories that humans had fabricated.
"I think there's a clue that we should pay attention to." The big sister finally raised her opinion. "All the supernatural phenomena revolve around humans. Lin Xue has confirmed that there won't be any supernatural phenomena in uninhabited places. All the supernatural phenomena are similar to haunting, and the term 'haunting' was created by humans. All the supernatural phenomena revolve around humans. We should start from the experiences of the people involved. "
Everyone agreed with the big sister's opinion. This was the only clear piece of information that we had. The 'enemy' (if he existed) would always be able to avoid our people's attention. If we didn't want to cause too much chaos, it was necessary to take a more roundabout approach.
On the other hand, investigating the supernatural phenomena was something that we had to do, but it was only because of Shallow Shallow's interest. The real important matter was the progress of the work on the broken star ring. Tawil sent good news from the Kuiper Belt Base. She had finished scanning the last piece of the broken star ring and confirmed the structural mutation of the broken star ring. The research found that about one-third of the internal structure of the broken star ring had been modified, mainly the navigation system and the power system. In the key parts of these systems, Tawil found a small device that was specially used to resist the energy of the Abyss. This meant that the broken star ring was not controlled by the Abyss until it invaded the Prime Material Plane. This eliminated the possibility that the broken star ring was a weapon thrown by the Fallen Apostle. Now, Tawil had dismantled the navigation system and was trying to find the information left behind by the person who threw the broken star ring from the storage device that had gone through deep formatting.
Following Visca's suggestion, Tawil was also organizing people to reassemble all the pieces collected so far to rebuild the star ring. This was a rather large project because the star ring had been shattered too thoroughly. Repairing a huge machine that had been blown to pieces was fundamentally different from using 502 glue to break a bottle. This work was being carried out quickly. According to the blueprints provided by Visca, hundreds of huge broken pieces had been placed on the alternate space platform according to their original positions, forming a broken ring structure like a jigsaw that was about to be put together. A large number of engineering probes and technicians were busy inside every piece, gradually repairing them and erasing the words "Here You Were" occasionally found inside. That was mostly the handiwork of Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue.
As for the 20% of the star ring's structure that was still missing and difficult to find, they could only rebuild it.
Repairing this ancient relic was not meaningless. According to Visca, there was a "resonance" between the inner and outer rings of the star ring. This was not the effect of a device, but the entire ring's structure. If the inner ring was restored, it might be possible to use it to contact the outer ring. But I don't think this is very reliable. The inner ring is already broken. Even if you put it back together, 20% of the inner ring's structure has been replaced, and it has been contaminated by the Abyss. The inner ring is full of mutated materials. Can such a thing that is so different from the original still perform its original function?
Visca was quite confident about this. When she created the two rings, she used some law power and symbolic meaning in their structure. The resonance between the two rings came from the "Twin Sense." In other words, this girl used the law power of Glory to "personify" the inner and outer rings. Although it did not give them a soul, it created a connection that was far more efficient than data communication. In the end, the two rings and Planet Barrier became a "trinity." The original design goal of this change was to increase the degree of fusion between the outer ring, the inner ring, and Planet Barrier. Due to the uniqueness of Glory's starship, it could not be added or removed at will like ordinary spaceships. To add a ring to it, it had to be done in this way so that the ring and the starship could become one. And now, Visca planned to make this connection work again to find the other ring that she had lost.
Sometimes, things created by mysticism were even more resistant than technological products. As long as some seemingly right but not right symbolic conditions were met, they would be able to function.
On the third day after the 'porcelain doll' incident, Lin Xue suddenly appeared in front of us outside of mealtime. The first sentence the young miss said caught our attention.
"Do you want to see with your own eyes how a supernatural incident happens?"
The Eldest Miss said mysteriously.
At that moment, Fran Doru came to play with Little Bubble. I was busy trying to save her crystal wings from Little Bubble's hands. When I heard Miss Sixteen's words, I was stunned. I had pulled off the last piece of crystal on Fran Doru's back.
Sixteen Nights covered his face with his hand and sighed. "I pulled it off six times. How am I going to explain this to Miss Sixteen?"
Fran Doru was bewildered and looked at me for a while. She had been here many times, and Little Bubble had pulled her wings once or twice. She had gotten used to this situation. She pointed at my hand and said, "Can you give it back to me?"
I hurried to find something to stick it back on. Little Bubble and Miss Sixteen continued their game of throwing dice. If Little Bubble lost, she would stick a piece of paper on her face. If Fran Doru lost, she would pull off a piece of crystal. My sister took over my job and stuck it back with glue.
"This time, they didn't avoid your sight?"
I pulled Lin Xue away from the two girls and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Lin Xue smiled and poured herself a cup of tea. Then, she nestled on the sofa as if she was in her own house. "It's not that easy. Supernatural incidents always happen in my blind spot. However, this case is different from the others. It didn't just happen once. Ever since it happened, the entire area has turned into a paranormal site. Paranormal incidents happen every day. In other words, the paranormal incident this time isn't a haunted house. It's a haunted house. Based on my experience, paranormal incidents will avoid my sight when they happen. However, when they happen and are in the middle of happening, they won't disappear because of our interference. Yesterday, I sent two soldiers from the Empire to watch the scene for the whole night. They confirmed that something abnormal had happened under their watch. However, you know that the soldiers from the Empire aren't very perceptive. They can't describe the changes in the atmosphere when the incident happened. They don't have any psychological feelings. That's why I'm going to watch the scene myself. So, are you interested? "
"First, tell me which place is haunted this time." I glanced at Miss Sixteen, who was deliberately keeping us in suspense.
Lin Xue cleared her throat and looked at me mischievously. "City — Second — Middle — School!"
With a crash, I fell off the sofa.
Damn, I was still a student there a few years ago!
