"The Golden Apple experiment is being carried out in the Void Continent, so there are too many anomalies that are in urgent need of information, so we can only be part of the third batch" Dr. Mu told everyone.
Everyone nodded, this was obvious.
In fact, they had applied to let the D-class members use the Golden Apple to sense the fifth element.
But it wasn't approved, or more accurately, they had to queue up.
The Omegas and Delta anomalies could break through containment at any time and place.
So they were the priority to sense it.
However, the effect wasn't ideal.
The [Origin Perceiver] state was mysterious beyond mysterious, wonderful beyond words.
Sensing something, if you don't understand it, then it's just a blur.
For example, someone who didn't understand Pi at all, hearing 3.1415926 …
To him, this string of numbers had no meaning at all.
It was only a metaphor, but it gave the feeling of 'the truth is right in front of you, but you don't understand it'.
To be able to sense the characteristics of an anomaly, one must first have a deep understanding of the anomaly's characteristics and characteristics.
There was no doubt that the Blue and White Society had this kind of understanding. Even the D-class members, as well as the veterans, had an understanding no less than the members.
They knew what an absolute characteristic was, what an anomaly was.
The more detailed the understanding, the clearer the perception. And from the countless inexplicable concepts they sensed, they could distinguish: This is not an absolute characteristic, this is, this is, this isn't …
If one came into contact with enough anomalies, they could repeatedly compare the differences between different anomalies, which would help them gain deeper insights.
This kind of experience, or understanding, was given a name by the research department: [Origin Sensitivity – Sensitivity].
According to their speculation, the research department divided it into five levels of sensitivity.
The lowest level, the Natural level, was a normal person who didn't know anything about anomalies, nor did they understand what an absolute characteristic was. Their understanding of the world stopped at the realm of science, which was the laws of nature.
So even if they ate the Golden Apple, their [Origin Perception] would only stop at that realm.
When they sensed something like an absolute characteristic, it was like a person who didn't know Pi seeing 3.14, completely indifferent.
The second level, the Supernatural level, was a person who already knew about anomalies and had an understanding of absolute characteristics.
Many D-class members, peripheral members, and even Alphas and Beta-class members were at this stage.
Level 3: Observer class. Extremely deep understanding of anomalies. Having experienced the effects of anomalies for a long time, they could be considered geniuses in this aspect: they were born to be in the anomaly world.
Most of the members of the Gamma, Delta, Omega, or even preachers who had been on the frontline of the containment system for decades should have this level of sensitivity.
The reason why they were called 'Observers' was because they were able to see through the characteristics of the majority of anomalies.
Basically, it was guaranteed that he could understand all of the anomalies' characteristics.
The fourth level, the era level, was a level higher than the geniuses. They were existences that led the world of containment for an era. They had a personal understanding of the universe that was at the pinnacle. There was no doubt that the second generation leader of the Little Brotherhood was such a person.
Not only could he sense the anomalies in front of him, but he could also directly sense the entire universe and discover the hidden information that penetrated the world's roots.
Including but not limited to Eagle Eye, Assassin's Footwork, Taaffeite Talent …
When such a person entered the [Origin] state, it was as if they could see through the backend of the universe and see the 'bugs' hidden among the countless information, or rather, some mysterious settings that silently existed.
Finally, the fifth level, Heavenly Ghost.
It was a type of sensitivity that existed in theory, but might not exist at all.
A person with this level of sensitivity would be able to comprehend, create, learn, absorb, or any other method that couldn't be described properly to obtain an absolute characteristic.
In other words, they could observe to change, and use their perception to distort reality.
What kind of conditions they needed to reach, or how far away they were from reaching the fourth level, none of that was known. Just by imagining it, they felt that it was possible to reach this level of sensitivity.
In summary, these were all Lan Bai Society's experiences combined with the information they had.
In truth, there were only two levels if they were to be categorized. After the second level, they were all the same.
"There's no need to talk about Heavenly Ghost, there's no data to back it up, it's purely a guess. There are precedents for the era level, but they're too rare. In our society, perhaps the fifth generation leader was at this level, but I don't know if there are any now "master Gou said.
Mo Qiong nodded: "Even if there are, they'll die if they eat the Golden Apple. Using their lives to exchange for one or two general characteristics isn't worth it!"
"It's the same for the Observer class as well. How could we let a senior who's been at the frontline for over 20 years eat the Golden Apple and die?"
Master Gou replied: "It's possible in an emergency, but if there's a major disaster, the sacrifice is necessary"
Mo Qiong said: "But at least for now, we can only use D-class members"
The sensitivity of D-class members was still too low.
Or perhaps, the characteristics of some anomalies were so absolute that even [Origin] Perceivers couldn't fully understand them. In short, even a veteran D-class member couldn't guarantee that they'd be able to recognize all of an anomaly's characteristics.
After the first batch of experiments, Lan Bai Society's biggest gain was the discovery of the [Origin] Perceiver effect, which allowed people to compare which anomaly was more absolute.
Because the more powerful an anomaly was, the slower a D-class member's perception would be.
That way, even if they didn't know the specific characteristics, they would at least be able to tell whether or not one anomaly was more absolute than the other.
Using the Perceiver as a scale to compare the absoluteness of two anomalies was now the biggest use of the Golden Apple.
After all, they couldn't just randomly sacrifice a veteran member or a genius member.
But when a D-class member confirmed that they couldn't find anything useful from a troublesome anomaly, half of the 7 days would have already passed.
That would be very slow, and who knows how long it would take to get to the 5th element, since there was only one Golden Apple.
Of course, that didn't stop Mo Qiong from tricking the Aether.
He directly tricked him into wanting to check the 5th element's characteristics, which went very smoothly. That guy immediately admitted defeat and confessed that his soul state was actually extremely terrifying and torturous.
"Unfortunately, he still wouldn't let our people go, what did David say?" Master Gou asked.
Mo Qiong replied: "David said that he was in a meeting, I'll ask again"
He then called David's communicator again. This time, David replied.
"Mo Qiong, bring the Aether to HQ, I'll deal with it later. Right now, I'm accompanying the Great Arbiter … to sense a few Omega anomalies" David said.
"…" Mo Qiong was a bit surprised, then exclaimed: "What? Sense? "
"Yeah, Great Arbiter Ke Long ate the Golden Apple" David replied.
"That's …" Mo Qiong almost fainted. He had met Ke Long before, he was the head of the 6 Great Arbiters, the head of the containment department. Without the president, he was practically the highest arbiter in the Blue and White Society.
He ate the Golden Apple? That's 7 days of certain death, does that mean he can be saved?
Hearing that, Master Gou wasn't surprised at all and simply muttered: "That's right, the day has come"
Mo Qiong glanced at Master Gou. At this point, David continued: "You should come as well, the Great Arbiter just told me to tell you to come as well"
"Alright!" Mo Qiong thought to himself, seems like he wants to sense his characteristics.
They quickly packed their things, cut off the Aether head, put it away, and escorted it to HQ.
Water Mang and Wind Mang were also escorting them.
On the way, they received a shocking piece of news.
"All members who don't have any missions are to gather at HQ and attend Great Arbiter Ke Long's funeral in 7 days"
This was obviously a notice. Although they were already mentally prepared, the person wasn't even dead yet, and the notice of the funeral was already sent out …
Without a doubt, there was no way to save him. It wasn't because there were other ways to resist death that he chose to eat the Golden Apple.
It was because he was using his life in exchange for these 7 days of [Origin Sense] status.
Since Ke Long ate the Golden Apple, he was certain that he would die in 7 days.
