After several experiments, Lan Baishe confirmed that wounds were absolute, but death wasn't.
If the target didn't die after being decapitated, then they wouldn't die.
However, because the death list required the participant to write enough damage to cause death, the life-saving ability had to be on the list, and only given to the target after the method of death had been determined.
If a person was first installed with a stone heart, then written with a burnt heart, then the writer would be breaking the rules, because the target wasn't someone who would die if their heart was burnt.
However, the cycle of the death list was even more inexplicable than Lan Baishe imagined.
The first wave of death was normally random, causing Tom's blood to evaporate.
This death was blocked by the cartoon man's characteristics, which could be considered good news. But then, Franklin's stone heart was triggered, which meant that his heart was scrapped.
After the stone heart prevented Franklin's death, the other two people who were also decapitated also received death sentences, which finally led to Rijkaard's death.
Obviously, after the death list found that a person didn't die, it gave the death spot to someone else.
Still, no one died, and all of them were killed.
Mo Qiong was originally very worried about this, believing that the death list would continuously attack them until one of them died.
Fortunately, subsequent experiments showed that after the death list had dealt a single fatal blow to all targets, it would end the cycle, even if no one died.
Because in a later experiment, Sheehan wrote Tom the cartoon man.
The two of them were the only two targets of the new cycle, with a death rate of 50% each.
After each of them received a fatal blow, and didn't die under Lan Baishe's protection, the anomaly Paper disappeared.
"You still haven't found it?" Lord Gou asked.
The intelligence department's personnel shook their head: "We can confirm that the anomaly hasn't completely disappeared, because the people on the list are still in a half-dead state"
"But Paper didn't appear in front of any of the participants according to the order, so we can assume … that it randomly found another person"
Mo Qiong frowned: "That's troublesome, it found a new person!"
The expected death sequence didn't get stuck, and the anomaly surprisingly jumped out of Lan Baishe's circle.
This way, it couldn't be restrained.
Lan Baishe finally managed to get everyone here, so Paper was restricted from spreading right under their noses, but this restriction required people to die.
As long as no one died after one round, it would teleport to the side of a brand-new unlucky person and slaughter its way into society again.
This was obviously something that Lan Bai She could not tolerate. The death list could not be spread in society.
"Get it back!"
After spending another day or so, relying on Mo Qiong's location, they finally caught another person who was currently on the death list.
Because they had found it in time, the new dragon only lasted for four names, and no one had died yet.
However, this anomaly was no less troublesome than a Gamma-class anomaly.
"Someone has to be sacrificed. If we want the anomaly to be trapped here, we have to execute at least one D-class personnel every day. This is the only way to ensure that it doesn't enter society and drag more innocent people into its trap … "Master Gou sighed.
"What kind of shelter is this? Actually, if we keep using the cartoon characters to resist and then immediately retrieve the anomalies from society, then keep going back and forth like this, it's possible that no one will die. "Mo Qiong frowned.
Master Gou shook his head and said, "Treating the symptoms doesn't solve the root of the problem. The Cycle of Death doesn't stop at all. It doesn't kill anyone, but it teleports out and pulls in a few newcomers every time. There aren't many people right now, but what about in the long run? Millions, tens of millions of people on the death list, how are we going to deal with them? "
"Even if we release the sealed memories, leaving only a few people in the base at a time, don't forget, as soon as the method of death is written down, that method of death has already occurred without reason."
"Without a heartbeat, or a bag of brain matter, how are these people supposed to return to society? And if we keep them here, what's the difference between that and death? "
Mo Qiong leaned against the wall and pondered. The most troublesome part about this anomaly wasn't its ability to kill people.
The method of death was written down by people, other than the illegal execution of dividing people into 2000 parts, Lan Bai She had a way to deal with the other methods of death.
The most troublesome part about it was that the Cycle of Death didn't stop.
Pulling in four people today, pulling in five the next day, either they had to continuously sacrifice D-class personnel, or they could only watch as more and more names appeared on the death list.
How many names could this piece of paper hold? Mo Qiong had thought that once the paper was full, it wouldn't add any more people.
But Master Gou told him that this was a very naïve idea.
"If it continues to launch fatal attacks until someone dies, then it will continue to the next round. This means that among its characteristics, killing people is a higher priority. "
"But as you can see, that's not the case. No one died in the Connecting Dragon, but it still forcibly teleported out to find a new person to continue the Connecting Dragon. This means that this anomaly's purpose of maintaining the existence of the Connecting Dragon Game is higher than killing people. "
"If it's willing to continue even if no one dies, how could it stop just because it can't fill the paper?"
"Haven't you noticed? This anomaly doesn't save any space on the paper at all. I have reason to believe that once it's full, it will continue in an unscientific way. "
Master Gou's words made sense, but Mo Qiong still wanted to try.
However, they couldn't just wait until the paper was full before thinking of another method. While Mo Qiong was constantly running around the world to retrieve the list.
They were also constantly thinking of other methods.
Of Mo Qiong's three ideas, one was useless, one was incomplete, and the last one was left, which was to let another group of 'people' replace the earthlings.
In the past, the Lan Bai Society had experienced a lot of helplessness. Aside from constantly sacrificing themselves, there was no other way to contain the anomalies.
If they needed to burn money, they would burn money. If they needed to sacrifice lives, they would sacrifice D-class personnel.
There were also some special costs that would choose a preacher to bear, sacrificing one person to complete the long-term suppression.
There were quite a few preachers in the society, but Mo Qiong had never seen anyone other than David.
It was because they each had to bear a huge price to guard various places for a long time.
Master Gou asked: "The low-dimensional people you mentioned before, were you referring to the people in the mobile phone you stored when your soul returned?"
"That's right, I once sent a game character to another world. Generally speaking, game characters can't exist in the real world, but there is a place that is similar to a virtual world, but also completely real. I call it a low-dimensional universe, or a low-dimensional world "Mo Qiong explained.
Mo Qiong then explained the situation of the game's other world. Master Gou pondered: "According to what you said, the matter in the real world can destroy the world there. If this piece of paper was sent in, wouldn't the entire low-dimensional world explode?"
"But low-dimensional worlds can grow. I once breathed out, and there, the gas in the real world caused a huge explosion, destroying a large amount of low-dimensional matter, but still leaving behind a few 'gas particles'"
"Those gas particles mixed with the low-dimensional matter to form an extremely stable rock. Although it's still extremely fragile in our world, it's the toughest thing in a low-dimensional world ever"
"At the same time, a small amount of gas particles in the real world expanded, forming gas that filled the entire world, its quality was also higher than the original low-dimensional gas"
Master Gou understood: "You're saying that by transferring matter, a low-dimensional world can grow?"
"That's right, but it has to be fed slowly. If too much is fed at once, the entire world will be destroyed" Mo Qiong explained.
Master Gou nodded. A bit of air was already enough to destroy the world, so what if a rock was thrown in?
But as long as it was fed slowly, the low-dimensional world's matter would gradually be reborn.
However, it would be a very long process for the entire world to reach a level where it could support a blank piece of paper.
"Once it succeeds, there'll be endless benefits. There are a lot of death row criminals in low-dimensional worlds, we can easily recruit D-class personnel there" Mo Qiong explained.
D-class personnel would always be lacking, but ever since Smart Rat appeared, a large part of it had been filled up.
But it still wasn't enough, as there were a lot of anomalies that only targeted humans.
Indeed, with the transmigration plan, they might be able to obtain a large number of D-class personnel from other worlds in the future, but there were too many places that needed D-class personnel, so they had to use as many as possible.
A low-dimensional world was also a different world, and compared to a world on the same level as Earth, a low-dimensional world was much easier to control.
More importantly, if the Blue White Society wanted to develop a low-dimensional world, it would be much easier. A single drop of water could be considered a Divine Artifact there, which would greatly benefit the people there.
The Blue White Society didn't even need to station troops there, just controlling a single character was enough.
As long as that character entered the low-dimensional world ahead of time and grew together with the world, it would be fine.
"They're also humans, they also have souls, but their 'quality' is too low. If the anomalies don't discriminate and treat them equally, we'll definitely have a lot more shelters "Mo Qiong explained.
Master Gou nodded: "Have someone write down the names of the low-dimensional people and see if it's useful"
