When I hurried back to my room, I saw Mercury Lamp sitting on the windowsill with her head lowered. The little doll girl was wearing the pajamas her big sister made for her a few days ago. Her silver hair was draped over her shoulders as she sat there. Her feet were swinging in the air, and her head was bobbing up and down. It was obvious that she was trying hard to stay awake. Mercury Lamp couldn't help but be stunned on the spot: She was basically a little girl who was trying hard to stay awake, waiting for her father to come home from work in the middle of the night.
At this moment, I really wanted to take out my camera to record her appearance, and then take it out to tease this amazing girl in two days. But this thought only flashed in my mind for a moment before it was thrown to the horizon. It wasn't that I suddenly found my conscience, but … a certain doll had already rushed forward and bit my head. The change from stillness to movement didn't even take half a second. Did this girl recently change a spring or a gearbox?
The miniature girl hugged her head like an octopus, and when she saw me, she fiercely bit with her iron teeth. Her mouth was also muttering something. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could guess what she was saying: "You clearly said you would come back in a while, why did you only appear now! You clearly already came back, why did you only appear now! You're obviously a stupid human, why did you make me wait for so long … "
And so on.
Although I could easily pull this little girl down, I still pretended to be flustered. I apologized while I pried open the little doll's arms so that she would be satisfied with her results. Then I opened my mouth to explain. After all, I had to ask for an explanation for the Rolex on my head. In the end, before I could open my mouth, a gentle snoring sound entered my ears.
Damn, this girl fell asleep in an instant.
Originally, when I came out at night, I didn't want to disturb the already asleep Mercury Lamp, but I didn't expect the little doll to wake up the moment I opened the door. Then, she asked me a few questions. At that time, I just wanted her to obediently go back to sleep, so I casually promised that I was just going out to look at the scene and would be back in a while. I never thought that this girl would actually take it seriously and foolishly wait for me to return. At this time, my mood was really complicated. I was a bit surprised, a bit apologetic, but most of all, I was touched.
I really didn't think that unknowingly, the relationship between me and this doll had reached such a level. Or more accurately, this little girl had reached such a level of dependence on me. In the beginning, she was clearly unapproachable, and even if I touched her, she would jump up and down. Now, she had become like this?
I touched the teeth mark on my head.
Although it was still a hedgehog.
Mercury Lamp grabbed her clothes and had already fallen asleep. Although her hands weren't big, they were quite strong. This reminded me of the time when I coaxed Little Bubble to sleep. If I wasn't careful, I would be tied up by her, and then I wouldn't be able to escape for the entire night. Looks like I can only sleep with my clothes on today.
Although it wouldn't affect me if I didn't sleep, I still slept for quite a long time. I didn't wake up until nine in the morning the next day. I didn't know when the little doll that was hanging on my body had loosened. She was showing off her gorgeous sleeping posture. She used a cup to roll herself into a giant spring roll and slept quite soundly. I smiled and pinched her soft little face. She didn't wake up either. Seeing this, I gave up on the idea of waking her up. I just found a rope from my portable space and tied the huge blanket to the bed.
Who told this lass to strangle my neck at night? You're just picking on your own daddy?!
Other than Shallow Shallow who was still lazing around in bed, the rest of the family had already woken up. Big Sis led Liliana out to buy some stuff. Pandora and Pandora stayed in the living room to watch television with Little Bubble. They were watching Transformers 3. The two military maniacs were instilling militaristic thoughts into Little Bubble, teaching her how to turn Optimus Prime into a pile of gears and bearings in the shortest time possible. Mommy Shinning was knitting a sweater by the side …
I felt that I just saw an incredible scene. Let's forget about that ridiculous scene. The oppression that Little Bubble exerted on Jill and Gami was simply too terrifying.
After eating something, I went to find Shadora and told her about what had happened last night.
"Materialization of the spiritual world?" Sandora raised her delicate eyebrows. "According to what you said, the spiritual world formed some sort of 'field' in the real world. It didn't become a matter in the traditional sense. It doesn't require too much power to achieve that, but the people on Earth obviously don't have such skills. Plus, this planet doesn't have a natural environment to produce such a phenomenon."
"The reason should be the 'culprit' that Lin Xue mentioned before," I said. "Last night, I analyzed the situation and realized that the other party might not be as difficult to deal with as we thought. The special agents and Lin Xue's overwhelming mental power blocked the process of the ordinary people's mental world turning from illusion to reality, causing all supernatural phenomena to disappear within their range of observation. If that's the case, perhaps the 'enemy' isn't that great after all. "
"It's a tactic to imagine the enemy to be as strong as possible before contact." Sandora revealed a bright smile that was as bright as the sunlight outside the window. "I can already feel Lin Xue's aura approaching. It seems that she's quite concerned about this matter."
Sandora's feeling was right. A few minutes later, a car horn resounded from outside the door. A certain missy yelled through the spiritual connection, "Blockhead! Open the door! Hurry up and ask Anveena to prepare something for me! "
She was at home with a world-class chef and a state-banquet breakfast. She would rather starve all the way to my house at this hour to get some pancakes and porridge. Miss Lin had completely trampled on her chef's dignity.
Last night's operation didn't affect the missy's energy at all. She wolfed down the food in front of her while discussing the progress of the supernatural incident with Sandora. Her energetic demeanor showed that she had completely forgotten the table manners that she had been taught in a noble school. Shallow Shallow, who had been lazing around in bed, drifted down from the second floor. She wandered to the dining table in a daze. With her eyes closed, she snatched the last piece of fried cake from Lin Xue. When she woke up, she joined the heated discussion. I have to point out that I had been listening to her as she recounted her adventure last night. However, even after she finished, I still couldn't remember when I had experienced those things. The three-hour experience from last night had been fermenting in her mind until now. What kind of twisted story had it become?
"Speaking of which, how's the research on the supernatural items that I sent you?"
Lin Xue suddenly asked. She wanted to know how the research on the supernatural items was progressing.
The day before yesterday, Missy had brought a bunch of strange items with her. They were all materials she had collected from the supernatural cases she had taken on before. There was a doll that cried at midnight, an ancient bronze mirror that had bloody handprints on it at night, a laptop that could be turned on without a battery, and mysteriously connected to the internet. There was also an iron rod that could change in size, thickness, thinness, and length. I let Master Sanzang take a look at the last item. Unfortunately, he didn't know what the Jingu Bang was, and he didn't have a disciple with a hairy face and a big mouth … However, that thing shouldn't be the Jingu Bang, because the rod used by Monkey Sun in the original work didn't have a logo.
"The situation is the same," Sandora said. "They are all ordinary items with some kind of energy field that can distort reality. Based on our current speculation, that energy field should be something that was generated after the spiritual world of humans extended into the real world. After being separated from humans, the energy field has weakened, but there are no signs of it dissipating. Now, the research institute is using technical means to solidify the energy field on the spiritual items to prolong their existence. "
"The laptop that could never be turned off and was always connected to the internet was taken by Enaka. She said that compared to the electricity bill, being haunted is nothing," I added. "And the iron rod, I paid it to Master Xuanzang as salary. Hasn't he been reciting the Great Love Sutra recently? I thought that it would be useful if he were to take in an apprentice."
Sandora took over the conversation. "Something happened to Sadako. When she was conducting an energy resonance experiment on the porcelain doll, she sneaked out of the experimental site when no one was paying attention. She ended up in one of the information terminals. Bubble was using the terminal to play a video from Bilibili. When Sadako came out, she was covered in bullet messages. Now, they are researching on how to remove the bullet messages from Sadako."
I was amused when I thought about it. There was even a line of words on her back that said, "The UP Master is a retard."
If all the supernatural incidents were caused by the invasion of the spiritual world of humans into the real world, it would explain why there were no signs of natural energy in the supernatural items. Now, the last problem was to find the cause of all of this. Lin Xue's prophecy indicated that there was one person who caused all of this. That person must be an expert in spiritual power. However, there was one thing that I didn't understand. What was the person's purpose in doing this? To cause a large-scale supernatural phenomenon in a few cities, the only purpose of this process was to scare people. At most, it would cause a few accidental injuries. It was unreasonable to use such a method to cause such trouble.
"If it's a spiritual power expert, his spiritual waves must be different from ordinary people. To be able to cause these phenomena in a few cities, the person's spiritual power resistance must be thousands of times stronger than a human's." Lin Xue thought about the method to find the person. Now that we had confirmed the method that the person was using, we could come up with a search plan based on his abilities. "Maybe Sandora can give it a try?"
"What do you mean?" Sandora glanced at Lin Xue.
"Use your spiritual power to cover all the cities where the supernatural phenomenon occurred. Then, we will use multi-frequency radar to scan these areas. If the person is a spiritual power expert, he will definitely resist. Even if he can only last one minute longer than an ordinary human, it will be enough to expose him."
"That's a bad idea," I commented bluntly. "How many people will die?"
"Do we have to go all out?" Lin Xue poked my arm. "If Sandora uses the least amount of power, no one will die, right?"
Sandora nodded confidently. "Of course, no one will die. However, before we act, we have to make sure that the 'enemy' is really using spiritual power to cause all these things. If these supernatural phenomena are caused by other means, not only will we not be able to find the enemy, but we will also alert the enemy. Ah Jun doesn't want to use the army on this planet. I agree. If we let the person escape, we will have to use more violent methods than we used to deal with the Olympus organization. That's not a good idea. "
Lin Xue thought for a moment and snapped her fingers. "Let's do it. My intuition tells me that this is the right idea."
I didn't know if Lin Xue's words made me feel more at ease or worried.
"Well, let's get started. I don't have much patience for this anyway," Sandora said as she stretched her arms and got up.
It was easy to set up the radar array. In a short while, we had completed the surveillance of the entire city and a large area around it. All of the multi-frequency radars were adjusted to the spiritual power sensitive state. We observed the images sent back by the radar from the headquarters of the Shadow Fortress.
The large holographic projection showed the plan of City K and the three surrounding satellite cities. As the power of the radar array was constantly fine-tuned, the plan was quickly covered by a light blue fog. The 'fog' was actually the reaction of human spiritual power. It was a low-level, high-frequency, and amorphous field effect. Millions of such small dots gathered together to form the fog that covered seventy percent of the map. Looking at this map, you couldn't help but admit that the current population problem in some places was quite serious.
This map was just a schematic for the commander to see. It omitted a lot of technical data. In other parts of the hall, the screens in front of the ordinary commanders were flashing more accurate and detailed radar images. Because no one could determine the approximate level of the 'enemy's' spiritual power, we also didn't know if the enemy's spiritual power would react the same way as a human's when under pressure. We could only monitor more data.
Sandora sat next to me leisurely. She was the most important person in this operation. However, to her, her mission was also the easiest. Using spiritual power to cover a few cities was as natural as breathing for the Queen. She didn't even need a magnifier to do it.
Lin Xue looked at the holographic image in front of her. "The scanning coverage has reached one hundred percent. The frequency sensitivity range fluctuates within the range of two hundred percent of the average spiritual power of a human. From the mentally retarded to Einstein, we can monitor everyone. Sandora, let's start when you're ready. "
The golden-haired girl beside me nodded. Strands of golden light began to circulate in her hair.
Compared to how she had been able to sweep away thousands of enemies on the battlefield, Sandora's current movements were incredibly small. In fact, apart from the golden light flowing in her hair, I couldn't see any signs of her using any power. However, the radar still faithfully told us that there was already a large-scale reaction in the surface world.
The blue mist on the city map dimmed almost at the same time. Although there was a slight rebound soon after, as Sandora's power spread, the entire map's blue color continued to darken.
Millions of people's spiritual power were simultaneously suppressed. They couldn't feel anything at the moment. At most, they would feel a little sleepy in the next few days. However, the target that we were looking for had yet to appear: Sandora's power hadn't exceeded the average human's tolerance.
The harmless spiritual power suppression didn't slow down a human's thought process. Instead, it suppressed the activation of a human's spiritual power. To an ordinary person, their spiritual power wouldn't be able to feel it after it was suppressed. This was because the process of their spiritual power activation couldn't be controlled, nor could it be used. As for the controlled spiritual power activation, it had many uses. For example, it could cause spiritual power to resonate with various fields in the outside world. Through interference, simulation, or more direct control, it could achieve a series of effects, such as casting spells and meditation. What Sandora was doing was using spiritual disruption to completely suppress this effect in an area with millions of people. It didn't matter if it was the useless and chaotic spiritual power activation of an ordinary person or a troublemaker's summoning ritual.
As Sandora's spiritual power gradually grew stronger and spread from the City of Shadows to the surface world, the spiritual power activation of the humans in the surrounding areas continued to decrease. The blue mist on the map was already so thin that it was almost invisible. Amidst the extremely thin light blue, an orange-yellow color gradually seeped out. This was a sign that the average human's tolerance was approaching. If Sandora continued to exert spiritual suppression, some people with sharp senses might be able to sense it. For example, it would feel as though someone was staring at their heart, or they would suddenly feel annoyed.
Amidst the gradually spreading orange-yellow color, the few remaining blue spots were extremely obvious.
"Number of targets locked on: 12. Initial elimination … Continue to strengthen spiritual suppression. Number of targets locked on: 3. Number of targets locked on: 1. Sir, we've locked on to the target! "
"In the old city," Lin Xue pointed at the map and said loudly, "Seal off that area! Sandora, please knock out the ordinary people there. Blockhead … "
"Raven unit, seal off the streets. The nearest patrolling soldiers will help protect the civilians," I took over and ordered loudly, "Heroic unit, use the World Tree to seal off the area. Don't make contact with the enemy for now. Liliana, get ready. If there are any injured people, I'll leave them to you. "
Shallow Shallow jumped out of her seat and said, "Then, let's all go out and play …"
A golden light flashed in Sandora's eyes and she nodded at us. "I've already asked the people there to find a safe place to sleep. I've used my spiritual power to lock on to the enemy, but he hasn't moved. He doesn't seem to have noticed."
"What a careless person," I smiled and caught up to Shallow Shallow who had already run to the door. "Alright, let's go and see what kind of god he is."
