After Mo Qiong turned on the lights, the first thing he did was to check the surroundings. After making sure that there was no shadow nearby, he checked the seal of the container.
He had requested the research department to design this cubic cage. The quality was undeniable. The edges of the opening were made of a mud-like absorbent material.
When pressed on a flat surface, it immediately clasped tightly without any light leaking out.
Even if the surface was not uniform, the layer of soft mud would fill in the gaps and fill in the uneven areas.
It was impossible for the shadow to drill through the gaps between molecules. Even if its thickness was zero in theory, it could only move on a flat surface.
It was like shining a flashlight on the wall in a room. There were countless gaps between molecules in the wall, but the person on the other side of the wall would not be able to see the shadow of the person on the other side of the wall.
If the shadow could really go through the wall, why would it slide on the wall? Wouldn't it be better to just sneak in through the wall?
The person in charge of the surveillance confirmed that there were no projections on the nearby buildings. This meant that the shadow did not run out of the warehouse. Of course, this was not absolute. If the shadow did not care and forcefully ran out from the bottom of an object and imprinted itself on the skylight. Then, if it ran out from the skylight, it would be directly projected into the atmosphere.
However, that was too risky. It would be difficult for it to come back if it moved under the clouds. If it moved in the clouds, the shadow might accidentally rush out of the atmosphere and enter the universe … then it would never be able to come back.
Mo Qiong made two preparations. If he could cover it in one go, that would be good. If he could not cover it, he actually threw out a strand of hair when he threw out the containment sphere. If there was a way to escape that had not been revealed, Mo Qiong would be able to follow the hair sooner or later.
Just now, he seemed to be combing his messy hair. In fact, he saw the hair floating down from the sky.
The hair floated on the cube and was interrupted by Mo Qiong. From this, he was completely sure that the shadow was covered underneath.
Everyone quickly cut the ground. The floor of the warehouse was a layer of rubber. Everyone carried the ground away together with Mo Qiong into a sealed carriage and sent it to the nearby stronghold.
Over there, they had prepared a secret chamber for the shadow to be imprisoned.
Mo Qiong looked at the box. He had been sitting on top of it to prevent the shadow from turning into a human and coming out.
However, Chris did not do so. Nobody knew if it was because he could not do it or because he was afraid of being killed by Mo Qiong. After all, Chris was an ordinary person.
When they reached the stronghold, Mo Qiong asked, "How is Yan Wei?"
"First, temporary blindness …" A member of the medical team walked over. He lowered his head and reported to the girl who reached his stomach.
"Temporary? That means it can be cured? "Mo Qiong raised his head and asked.
"Yes, even if it's not temporary, we can still cure it. Because human cloning is taboo, even we are not allowed to clone a complete human with thoughts. Therefore, our research in this area can only be biased towards bionic organs, which makes our medical skills very powerful. Even if she is blind, we can replace her, "the doctor said confidently.
Mo Qiong nodded. "That's good."
"That's right, the light radiation brought heat directly into her body, which greatly increased her radiation intake. Just from that short period of strong light exposure, she absorbed more than a thousand millisieverts of radiation, which killed a lot of her white blood cells and caused her to lose a lot of hair. But fortunately, she's in the dark room now. We've also taken anti-radiation measures. Her condition won't worsen, "the doctor said again.
Mo Qiong nodded and said, "Hair loss can be replanted …"
"Uh … I don't know how to transplant hair," the doctor said awkwardly.
"What? You can cure blindness, but you can't cure hair loss? "Mo Qiong was confused.
"That, I really haven't studied this area, but there might be people in other big bases who know how to do it." He was after all a doctor in a small base. If you were talking about broken limbs or massive bleeding in the atrium, he would definitely know how to do it. These were all basic skills. But hair loss … he really didn't know how to do it.
Mo Qiong raised his head and looked at him, thinking, 'What did you learn?'
The doctor was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Actually, she can't accept the treatment. After all, she can't see the light. If we can't solve the problem of her shadow, we can't operate on her in the dark room, right? "
"Night vision or something …" Mo Qiong said.
"No, that's a real dark room. Even the light that can't be seen is very little. If you want us to be able to see, you have to have infrared rays, right? But infrared rays will still bring radiation to her, "the doctor said.
Taking a plane once would incur 0.03 millisieverts of radiation. Taking an X-ray would be about 0.1 millisieverts. More than 100 millisieverts, the white blood cells in the blood would decrease.
More than 1000 millisieverts, there would be mild symptoms such as fatigue, vomiting, anorexia, and hair loss.
More than 2000 millisieverts, the bone marrow would change, the red and white blood cells would decrease rapidly, and there would even be internal bleeding.
Just a short while and Yan Wei already had a mild radiation disease. If it was any longer, she might have cancer.
Only in the dark room prepared by the Lan Bai She could ensure that it wouldn't worsen. Otherwise, even if she stayed in the dark, the radiation in her body would still slowly increase!
After a long time, there would be all kinds of illnesses.
Of course, even if the Lan Bai She had cancer, as long as it wasn't so late that it was incurable, it could still be treated.
But that wasn't how things were calculated. Mo Qiong was very clear that once Yan Wei's radiation level increased and she got cancer, Waveshift would definitely lie through his teeth on the channel, "Yan Wei is dead."
"Mo Qiong, it's done!" In the base, You Xin shouted.
Mo Qiong walked over and came in front of a big screen. The screen showed the secret room where the shadow was locked up.
There was a cube in the secret room. Even if the cube was opened, if the shadow was inside, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Is the shadow really inside? We made such a big fuss. It can't be empty inside, right? "You Xin asked worriedly.
"Won't we know once we open it? Yan Wei and the rest's shadows are still on it. We have to interrogate them anyway, "Mo Qiong said. Actually, he was a hundred percent sure that the shadow was inside. Her hair had already confirmed it.
You Xin called out. Immediately, someone controlled a mechanical arm in the secret room and opened the cube.
In the empty secret room, a shadow slid out of the cube on the ground.
"It's really been stored!" You Xin was overjoyed.
Not only that, the other peripheral members were also surprised and looked at Mo Qiong.
A prediction was able to trap the shadow. On the other hand, they had to go through so much trouble to surround it.
Speaking of the previous storage, the main force was actually Yan Wei. The peripheral members were just there to check and fill in the gaps. They formed an encirclement to prevent Yan Wei from making any mistakes.
With Yan Wei's strength, she could still trap the shadow with the containment box. After all, they had already deduced how to capture them during the meeting.
However, they didn't expect the shadow to be able to tear it apart. When Yan Wei went over, her own shadow went over too. Chris was also a cunning thief. The first one he got rid of was the most threatening one in the encirclement.
On the other hand, Mo Qiong learned his lesson and killed it blindly. Chris didn't even have a chance to counterattack.
"Give me the microphone" Mo Qiong said.
The peripheral member immediately handed him the microphone. This microphone was connected to the secret room, allowing Mo Qiong to interrogate it directly from the outside.
"K … uh … what's this shadow's serial number?"
"For now, it's 1008"
Mo Qiong nodded. The anomalies in the simulation were all numbered after 1000.
"1008, no need to doubt it. That's your serial number. I'll call you by that from now on" Mo Qiong said in a childish tone.
In the secret room, the shadow slid from the ground to the wall, then circled around the wall. When it couldn't find any exit, it stopped.
Although it was only a shadow, the shadow clearly had the silhouette of a woman. It even appeared to be quite anxious.
As for why the containment mission hadn't ended yet, Mo Qiong had a few guesses.
One was naturally that Yan Wei and the others' shadows hadn't been returned. Waveshift had requested that Darwin's team had to find a way to retrieve Yan Wei and the others' shadows before the mission ended. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to see the light of day again.
Another guess was that this shadow wasn't an anomaly, but a Derivative. The shadow was Chris' shadow, but Chris didn't turn into a shadow. Instead, he was like Yan Wei who had been stripped of her shadow, hiding in a shadowless form somewhere in the city.
In other words, Chris had only sent his shadow here, but not himself.
The latter was easy. He just needed to search the entire city for someone who didn't have a shadow. Alternatively, he could find a female otaku who had been cooped up at home all day.
Mo Qiong ordered his men to search the entire city openly and covertly. At the same time, he planned to use both methods to find a way to retrieve Yan Wei and the others' shadows.
"I can believe that you can't speak, but can't you hear me?" Mo Qiong asked.
Hearing Mo Qiong's childish voice, the shadow directly raised a hand and pointed at its thigh, as if to say: You're only as tall as my thigh …
"…" Mo Qiong resisted the urge to curse and turned off the microphone, then angrily shouted: "Bastard!"
You Xin also laughed: "This guy! It's definitely Chris! Ahahaha, he probably didn't recognize you when he saw you jump down from the skylight, but when we called you Mo Qiong, he would definitely know that the little loli was you! "
"Shut up!" Mo Qiong shouted, then turned on the microphone: "Very well, 1008, if you can hear me, you should know your current situation. I can explain it to you a bit more clearly … "
After that, he explained the Lan Bai Society's responsibilities and authority, as well as his current situation. Unless he was willing to hand over the anomaly, he would basically be imprisoned forever.
"1008, you've abused the anomaly to steal, and even killed six people. If you show yourself right now, we can still give you some food and water, depending on the situation, you'll be able to live under certain restrictions. Otherwise, we can only treat you the same way we treat the shadow. Do you want to be locked up in a secret room for the rest of your life? "
The shadow simply shrugged, unsure if he was expressing that he didn't care, or that he couldn't show himself.
As long as he was a shadow, no one could do anything to him.
Mo Qiong asked: "Can you return the shadow that you took away?"
The shadow on the wall thought for a bit, then nodded.
Mo Qiong immediately asked: "How do you want to return it?"
The shadow made two peace signs, one standing upright to represent the shadow, the other lying down to represent the shadow. The two peace signs crossed vertically, indicating that the person involved had to be present.
"You need to stay at the foot of the person who lost the shadow in order to return it, right?" Mo Qiong asked.
The shadow nodded.
"No problem, I'll bring him in right now" Mo Qiong said.
But the shadow waved his hand, then pointed at the empty space on the wall.
Mo Qiong scowled: "You … want us to let you go before you're willing to return it?"
The shadow nodded.
After a bit of silence, Mo Qiong slyly said: "Return it first, then I'll let you go"
'I'll let you go', but you won't be able to escape the Lan Bai Society's control.
But that obviously wasn't enough to fool the shadow.
When the shadow heard that, he spread out his hands, shook his head, and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Then, he stood in the corner with his back facing the loudspeaker.
This act was clearly: I don't believe you, let me go first, if not, we won't talk about it.
"Do as you wish, if you don't want to talk then we won't talk" Mo Qiong turned off the microphone.
