After that, Mo Qiong went to see old An every day, and after two weeks, he understood quite a bit.
"You're the most diligent restrictor I've ever seen. After they came to learn the outer rules, they basically stopped coming" old An told him.
Mo Qiong was surprised: "Don't they care about these things?"
Old An replied: "What's the point of caring? If they weren't accidentally affected by anomalies, they might not have come into contact with these things for the rest of their lives "
"They might seem to want to become outer members, but they're actually just trying their best, their main goal is to live their own lives. Those who are willing to worry about the safety of humanity are the minority "
Mo Qiong was speechless, this made him seem like he was worrying too much.
However, he wasn't worried about being mistaken as a spy for an illegal organization, he wasn't one to begin with, and old An also said that the Blue and White Society wasn't afraid of spies.
When they were talking about whether or not there were other organizations, old An told him that there were a few small organizations that illegally possessed anomalies, either worshipping the anomalies as Divine Artifacts, or being controlled by anomalies.
They were all targets that the Blue and White Society needed to eliminate.
What old An said wasn't really a secret, it was just that the anomalies of the anomalies were so secretive that most people didn't know about them before. And most of the leaders of each country probably knew more than the outer members.
There was no need to hide what he could from Mo Qiong, and what he couldn't tell, he wouldn't tell.
The real key was the official members, and old An said that the Blue and White Society had something to screen spies.
It was a large rock that old An said could display a person's goal.
Anyone who wanted to join the society would have to go through that checkpoint, if the goal didn't fit the Blue and White Society's mission, it didn't matter how many people recommended them.
And so far, no one had been able to hide from that rock, not even if they lost their memories, not even if they were dead …
Because of that, it was also used to screen if a member's goal had changed, if they had been possessed, or if their mind had been warped by something.
If someone managed to hide from this checkpoint, there was nothing they could do about it.
The Blue and White Society had its own rules to restrict its members, if a member violated the rules, even if they weren't spies, they would still be dealt with according to the rules.
In the Blue and White Society, order was the sky, and faith was the ground, no one could go against it.
Mo Qiong was quite annoyed by the existence of that rock.
To be honest, he really wanted to officially join the society. He didn't want to be like most people, living under the sun in ignorance until one day, he suddenly realized that the end of the world had arrived.
Mo Qiong didn't want to do nothing. Perhaps the situation wasn't as bad as Old An had said, but they would only know after they went in. They couldn't just wait until the situation was irreversible. After all, the dangers of anomalies could be seen from the experiences of some of the limiters.
Even if he was the one benefiting from the anomaly's power, he was still a human, his interests were bound together with that of humanity.
But after knowing all this, he lost his confidence.
"As expected, the hidden condition to become an official member is a belief and a goal. They don't necessarily need experts, but they do need people who have a strong and correct belief in the shelter cause and are willing to fight for it for their whole lives. "
"I think I'm just a salted fish … I'm only suitable to be a peripheral member."
Mo Qiong scratched his head. As an anomaly, it was quite risky for him to want to join an organization that specialized in containing anomalies.
As soon as a misunderstanding occurred, there would be a conflict between their positions, because no one would trust that he was controllable for no reason at all.
Now that there was such a large threshold, and he was still confused about his goal, he found that this wasn't something that he could do as he wished, he needed to have a high level of self-awareness.
He had no choice but to put this thought aside for now.
…
Rumble rumble!
On the 18th day of Mo Qiong's stay in the residential area, a fleet of ships docked at Meng Island.
From afar, he could see a large crane loading a large metal box onto a vehicle.
After that, a team of at least 300 people escorted the vehicle into Meng Island's small town.
Old Wang and the other workers of the residential area all came out to maintain order among the limiters as they watched the large metal box being transported to the other side of town.
After staying here for so long, Mo Qiong naturally knew that it was the direction of the research institute. He heard that most of the underground structures on Meng Island were part of the research institute.
"Such a big commotion, what's that?" many limiters curiously asked.
Mo Qiong was also observing. Although he didn't know what the standard of this escort was, he was certain that this wasn't a normal anomaly. At the very least, there was no need for so many armed people to escort a wooden sculpture.
"A new anomaly has arrived, you don't need to worry about it" old Wang said.
At this point, old An also came out. He watched the fleet of ships leave and sighed: "That's a Gamma-class anomaly"
"Ah? Did you see the preacher? "old Wang asked.
"Yeah, I happen to know him" old An didn't say anything else.
Mo Qiong came up just in time to hear that. He wanted to ask what a preacher was, but since old An probably wouldn't tell him, he didn't ask.
However, two hours later.
Mo Qiong received a notice: he had to go to the research institute to participate in a test.
"Ah? Now? "Mo Qiong was a bit surprised.
Old An nodded: "Yes, it's an arrangement from the research institute. Old Wang will take you there in a bit"
"Didn't you say that it would take at least a month for me to go?" Mo Qiong asked.
"That was just a casual remark. How would I know about the arrangements of the Academicians? Perhaps they already know something about your situation" old An smiled.
Mo Qiong guessed: "Could it be related to the anomaly that was sent here two hours ago?"
"What are you thinking? Don't worry, the dangerous things are all handled by D-class personnel. The Academicians must have suddenly asked you to come here because they thought that you might not have nightmares due to certain circumstances, so they want you to confirm it "old An smiled.
Mo Qiong nodded and waited for old Wang to arrive before heading to the research institute.
Most of the restrictors who lived here had already been there, so he only asked a few questions. Most of the time, they would answer a few questions, describe their feelings, or use proven methods to dispel or suppress the effects.
There were also suspicious Limiters like him here. Among the people he knew, the two-dimensional beauty Qiao Man was one of them.
Qiao Man was the only one who came into contact with an anomaly and didn't die. Not only did she not die, but she also became a 2D beauty.
The Academicians couldn't understand this at all, but they couldn't do anything about it. Because if an anomaly could be explained, it wouldn't be an anomaly.
There were many other special cases like this, most of which were assumed to be due to an unknown judgment of an anomaly that resulted in a different result.
Unless there was a huge threat, Lan Bai She didn't have the energy to waste on a project that didn't have any progress.
Arriving at the research institute, Mo Qiong followed old Wang into an elevator to descend.
It stopped at floor -3, but Mo Qiong could see that there were a total of 9 floors here.
"Reporting, restrictor Mo Qiong is in position" Old Wang led Mo Qiong out of the elevator and reported. Outside the elevator was a sealed room, so they would need to pass through this room's security to go anywhere else or take the elevator.
There was a fully-armed person in this room, his entire body was wrapped in a white combat uniform, even wearing a helmet. It was obvious that he was a security guard of the research institute.
"Please place your hand on it" the man in white held a device in his hand and said.
As Mo Qiong placed his hand on it, it only took a second for a green light to appear.
"Identity confirmed" the man in white spoke in a low voice.
Following that, the door on the left side of the sealed room opened as the man in white spoke: "Mo Qiong, you may enter"
Mo Qiong nodded and went through the door alone, while old Wang stayed in the room to wait for him.
On the other side of the door, a man in a white coat led him into a bright room, pointed at a chair and said: "Please have a seat, do you need anything to drink?"
Mo Qiong shook his head and saw a headset on the chair.
The man in white coat said: "Then please put on the headset and look over here."
Just as he finished speaking, the wall on the left side suddenly opened up, revealing a transparent glass behind it. Of course, it could also be a screen, but if it was a screen, then the clarity would be too high.
Through the glass, Mo Qiong could see another room, there was a bed, and at the head of the bed was the wooden carving that he had seen before.
On the bed, a young man was lying down with his eyes closed.
"Hello, Mo Qiong, you can call me Professor Sang. α-531, which is the wooden carving in front of you, do you recognize it?" Putting on the headset, Mo Qiong immediately heard an old voice.
Mo Qiong looked at it confidently, and the other party also very considerately enlarged the image. Only then did Mo Qiong confirm that it was a screen.
"I recognize it"
Then the professor asked a few more questions, and Mo Qiong answered them all honestly.
He told the professor everything about the nightmare he had, but he did not mention the effect of Absolute Hit, he only said that he was startled awake by the pain, then fell asleep and woke up again …
This was the truth, but he did not mention that he knew why he woke up.
After the questions, the professor said: "Mo Qiong, so far, those who come into contact with α-531 will fall asleep immediately after they lie down and close their eyes. After that, they will fall into an infinite deep sleep, and they will only wake up after at least 5 hours. The dream can be interrupted by external disturbances, but the next time they fall asleep, they will continue with the ending of the previous dream, seemingly endless.
"This kind of dream will bring about the Deep One effect, so I will not elaborate on it. The special case in your case is that you woke up immediately after the nightmare, and after 9 times, you were able to escape from the dream completely."
"I want to confirm, can you confirm how many nightmares you have had in total?"
Mo Qiong said with certainty, "9 times."
Professor Sang said: "Very good, originally we had no clue about this, but with the help of this member before us, we were able to confirm one of the characteristics of α-531 related to nightmares: Those with the Psychic Resistance effect can break the dream on their own. After the dream is broken 9 times, the nightmare ritual will disappear."
"Mo Qiong, you have the Psychic Resistance effect."
Mo Qiong was startled, then he said: "Huh?"
"It means that the Psychic Distortion effect is ineffective on you …" Another voice suddenly appeared, and then the young man on the bed sat up abruptly.
He said tiredly with his dead fish eyes, "Professor, this thing is useless, I still can't sleep …"
