Can't we make one up? "
Hua Yin and You Xin both recalled the time when Mo Qiong made up his anomaly's effect during his graduation exam.
But Mo Qiong shook his head: "The other party is also a professional anomaly taker, let's not talk about how hard it would be to fool them. Just the fact that we want to set up this kind of scam means that there's no way it'll be just a few of us. Considering that one of the peripheral members is also him in disguise, I think we should make it real. After we leave, we'll assume that he's nearby eavesdropping "
"Then what anomaly should we use?" Hua Yin asked.
Mo Qiong looked at Lord Gou and Luo Yan, the two veteran Gamma members.
Lord Gou pondered: "Do you have any requests?"
Mo Qiong replied: "It would be best if we create an anomaly within New York to expose the anomaly's location as well as part of its effect"
"If we manage to effectively suppress that anomaly while he's observing us from the shadows, I believe that the Ether who knows about the 'strategy' will find a chance to steal the bait"
Lord Gou continued: "I remember that the New York suburban base only had three anomalies, α-100, β-147, and β-250"
He then introduced each of the three anomalies.
Α-100, codenamed 'Tearless Necklace', was found in a Rockefeller University dormitory. It was a normal semi-plastic crystal pendant.
Its characteristic was very simple, the wearer would never be able to shed tears, no matter what method was used. The water in the eye sockets would never fall off, not even accumulating.
Lord Gou explained: "During the experiment, no irritating gas could cause the wearer's eyes to secrete any liquid. Even the act of dripping eye drops into the eye sockets was stopped, and any liquid that dripped out would instantly disappear "
"I remember that a Ph.D. student once tried it, he had a D-class member soak in a bathtub while wearing it, but all the water that flowed into his eyes was sucked away. As his face leaned down, the water level in the bathtub gradually dropped to the bottom, not even a single drop of water was left near his eyes"
Luo Yan also spoke: "Ah right, I heard that a Ph.D. student used this to make a D-class member directly face the impact of an ultra-high pressure Whirlpool water gun. It turned out that it was impossible for external liquid to get within 5 centimeters of his eyes. At the time, the D-class member seemed to have used his gaze to destroy the Whirlpool water gun that was capable of cutting through steel "
"In short, at most, you can only get some liquid below the line at the corner of your mouth."
Mo Qiong smiled and said, "Doesn't that mean you won't choke on water? I've also protected my nose. "
Luo Yan said, "But if you're in deep water, you'll still die from lack of oxygen. Theoretically, the wearer can slowly 'dry' the ocean, but that's only in theory."
Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "This thing is not easy to operate. If we reveal this thing too openly, the ether is not stupid. It's obvious that we're using a particularly safe anomaly to lure him out. Instead, he'll think that we know what he's up to and hide. "
"The best way is to create a dangerous but controllable containment failure. You have to know that our goal is to get him to take away something. "
Therefore, Master Gou introduced a Beta-level anomaly that was imprisoned and studied in a base in a small town in New York's border area. Beta-147: Dead Object Disease.
It looked like a can of Pepsi, made in 1989, and had no pull tab.
Every half an hour, 340ml of cola would be produced. In terms of taste, it was undoubtedly cola, and the same was true in terms of composition.
The cola had the characteristic of infecting almost all non-living things. Non-living things that came into contact with it would quickly become 'rotten' and 'mottled.'
It caused non-living things to show a series of symptoms that resembled animal skin diseases.
Lan Baishe called it 'expired cola skin disease.'
The place where it was discovered was a cola factory. Within a day, the cola that infected non-living things with skin diseases turned the entire factory into a rotten castle. Even the air was filled with a sour smell, as well as strange spherical dust that looked like spores floating in the air.
The steel door was covered with strange iron lumps. The original marble floor tiles were covered with disgusting 'colonies.' Those colonies were not bacteria, but some infectious lime particles made of inorganic substances.
The workshop's machine tools were full of tumors and filled with pus full of acidic substances. These tumors were not living things in the conventional sense, but strange non-living things.
These living things wriggled, grew, and infected more non-living things. Although the infection effect of non-living things was very low, far inferior to the high-speed infection of 'expired cola.'
But in theory, it still had the ability to slowly infect the surface of the world.
Fortunately, living things would never be infected by this inexplicable infection. This had been proven countless times. Of course, an unsanitary environment could effectively breed normal bacteria or viruses, but that was another matter.
However, non-living things could attack living things in various physical forms.
And the way to eliminate this non-living thing disease was very simple, high temperature was enough.
A temperature of 1500 degrees Celsius could eliminate this strange non-living inflammatory reaction.
But even so, its threat was still close to the Gamma-level.
It belonged to a group of anomalies that were very high in the middle sequence of the Beta-level.
The reason was that the cola's mutation effect on non-living things was too unsolvable.
Soil, rocks, metals, flames, electricity, even water …
All of them could be infected with cola skin disease.
"Have you ever seen a flame with pimples?" Master Gou asked.
After he explained this anomaly to everyone, everyone was amazed by the variety of anomalies.
Everyone looked up a series of photos of its infection and saw the so-called pimples of the flame.
During the burning process, pustules grew all over it. These pustules looked like they were on the surface of human skin, but in reality, they didn't detect any cell tissue fluid, only some accumulated steam that was strangely blocked in the flame.
This strangely accumulated steam was like a swelling pimples, causing the swaying flame to look abnormally deformed and bloated.
If even flames were like this, then water was even more so.
Infected liquid would no longer have a horizontal surface, whether it was seawater full of minerals or pure water used for experiments.
A large number of pimples would grow on the horizontal surface. These pimples were either made up of other substances in the water, or simply 'swollen' from the water.
A lump of water would fold or even squeeze together, showing the color of a sarcoma. The physical effect of this inflammation was that the density distribution of the water was severely deformed.
What looked like a cubic meter of water was only that big because of the inflammation, but its actual mass was probably far less than a ton.
"Other than high-temperature substances, what inanimate object can't it infect?" You Xin commented.
Master Gou continued smoking: "Let's not talk about other anomalies, but among natural objects, 'Pepsi cans' are the only inanimate object that can't be infected by this effect"
"…" everyone was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.
That was too realistic.
Even steel could grow tumors, titanium alloy could cause ulcers, but a normal aluminum can was immune to it.
It wasn't aluminum that was immune, but cans that were immune.
"Pay attention, it has to be the 1989 Pepsi cans that Zhang Guorong endorsed" Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong asked: "That's also the one that contains the main body of the anomaly, right?"
The expired cola was able to contain its main body and act as an immune body, so it also categorized all '1989 Pepsi cans' as immune bodies. This was a very typical anomaly.
Master Gou explained: "I was the one who took this thing in at the time. After we found a solution, its infection range had already spread to several nearby towns. After that, we used an ultra-high temperature flame to purify and disinfect everything, including the air in the entire area. After repeatedly ensuring that there was no infection, it was finally resolved "
"In theory, the expired cola can turn the entire Earth ugly and swollen … and then everyone will be killed by all kinds of disgusting tables, chairs, cars, boats, wind, water, and fire …"
Mo Qiong shook his head and sighed: "This thing is too dangerous. First of all, it can spread through the air, and second of all, it's too troublesome to deal with the aftermath. It needs to be purified at 1500 degrees Celsius "
"Even if we don't use the main body of the anomaly and instead use an inflamed water derivative as bait, there might still be accidents"
"If we're going to use it, we'll use an anomaly with a lower 'limit'. This way, if something goes wrong, it'll be easier to deal with the aftermath"
Master Gou said: "Then we'll use beta-250, this thing is called the 'Universal Spring'"
