In 1860, CANC had a total of 34 members, of course, there were now 35 of them.
There were now 4 anomalies, even though they were numbered 005, Audonis said that the anomalies were arranged from 002 onwards.
Everyone was confused about this, why didn't Audonis reveal what the anomaly on his body was?
Everyone here knew that Audonis was capable of revealing the characteristics of any supernatural object that they couldn't understand, and even knew the location of many anomalies.
So the fact that Audonis had a unique anomaly on his body was a sure thing.
But since Audonis said that he couldn't reveal it to the public, with everyone's trust, they agreed to call the anomaly 001.
Since Lan Mu had joined CANC, he was the only one who knew about Audonis' situation.
"A contract … I really want to know how he managed to communicate with the world spirit …"
Lan Mu didn't ask right away, he had too many questions that he needed answers to from Audonis, but he wasn't in a hurry.
After all, he was invincible in this timeline, and no matter what he did, it wouldn't affect his timeline, so this was a rare opportunity for him to relax.
Lan Mu was confident because this was a new timeline.
The reason was simple, because of him, there was no Life Orb. Then there would be no major races born from the Life Orb fragments, and the Silver Heart, Dragon Race, and Insect Race would no longer exist.
And since there was no Silver Heart, there would be no Victor, and the various measures used to contain the Life Orb would no longer exist.
This timeline was simply a timeline of 001's struggle against the anomalies.
However, when Lan Mu asked about the current state of the world, he found that the disappearance of the Dragon didn't make the Eastern culture strange.
Or rather, the Dragon Totem didn't disappear.
"Strange …" Lan Mu's mental power swept through the East, but found no Dragon Bones in the Changbai Mountains, then swept through the Pacific Ocean, but found no traces of the Lost Island or the Eye of Obliteration.
He nodded, that's right, there shouldn't be any Dragon in this timeline.
But the strange thing was, the Dragon culture still existed, although the Eastern history had changed a bit, the difference wasn't too big, it was still the same.
"Regardless of whether or not there are actual Dragons, the Dragon culture would still exist? That's right, it's an imaginary totem. "
Lan Mu suddenly figured out his groundless fears. Why didn't the pyramid investigate the dragon culture that had been passed down from generation to generation? It was because it was made up by humans. It was their own culture.
Perhaps in the timeline of the modern world, the dragons imagined by humans were related to the real dragons. However, it was not a decisive relationship. It was destined that a certain race would develop a dragon culture. Whether the dragon was real or fake, whether the dragon had come to Earth or not, the end result would be the same.
Lan Mu was deep in thought when Enoch suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, what's your name? You haven't introduced yourself yet … I'm Enoch, an explorer."
Lan Mu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "My name is Kong Xuan. I'm a monster."
"Monster?" Everyone was puzzled.
Lan Mu made up a whole set of stories, starting from how he was the first peacock in the world, how he turned into a human at a very early age, and then went to outer space, where he saw many civilizations, obtained the Hand of Creation, and returned to Earth.
He claimed to have lived for 100,000 years.
For the current CANC, Lan Mu's story was enough to shock them with just a little bit of his own history.
It also incorporated many concepts and ideas from the future. In this era where there wasn't even electricity, let alone computers, his story was full of creativity, a legend among legends.
If the scientists and artists of this era listened to his story, it would be enough to give them countless inspirations.
During the exchange, everyone got to know each other better, and Lan Mu also understood a lot of things.
For example, the electric fan, it was indeed an anomaly, and it was so powerful that even Lan Mu was tempted.
This electric fan was called the Infinite Divine Wind because it theoretically had an infinite number of gears!
On the base of the electric fan, there was a screw-on cover with gears from 1 to 5 around it.
The people of this era didn't recognize it, but Lan Mu did. It was a normal household electric fan with an unknown brand logo.
But after listening to Odonis' introduction, he also deeply felt the power of this anomaly.
"These numbers are the gears, representing the wind level. Wind level 1 to 5 is fine, but if it's level 6 … "
Saying so, Odonis rotated the cover once, the needle moved past 5 gears, then back to 1.
Lan Mu could see that this cover didn't have any torque limit, no matter how many times it was rotated, it wouldn't get stuck.
And when the cover rotated once and returned to 1, the wind continued to get stronger.
Odonis said: "After one rotation, it'll reach level 6, Strong Wind!"
The electric fan's plug wasn't plugged in, so it rotated in the air to blow the wind. The rotation wasn't excessive, but the wind force was.
It blew everyone's clothes and hair out of place.
What was even more outrageous was that the back of the electric fan didn't have any air flowing in, the wind was directly blown out.
"Sir Newton told us that the reaction force is mutual, but no matter how strong the wind is, the reaction force of the wind won't shake it …"
"After one rotation, it'll reach level 6 to 10. If it continues to rotate, the number of gears will continue to stack … The cover won't have any resistance, as long as you want to, it can continue to rotate "
When Odonis said this, almost everyone with a normal IQ could understand it.
It had as many gears as there were natural numbers!
Enoch also said with lingering fear: "The most we tried was level 16, but we didn't dare to continue … because it was already a rare super hurricane in the Mediterranean Sea. Fortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds before we turned it back, so it didn't cause any disaster"
Odonis said: "From level 8 to 9, it can break branches and destroy houses, level 10 can uproot trees! A twelfth gear wave would be a typhoon … "
"We can't even imagine what would happen if we rotated it to a hundred times, or even a thousand times, or even ten thousand times …"
Lan Mu stared blankly at the electric fan, this anomaly … doesn't even exist in the future!
"What's its serial number?"
"Ω-4"
The founders of CANC were all Greeks, so they used the Greek alphabet to divide the levels, a habit that was passed down to later generations.
Lan Mu thought back to the future 004, he didn't have any recollection of it, but it definitely wasn't an electric fan.
If there was such a heaven-defying anomaly, the Lan Bai Society that had already incorporated CANC would've definitely researched it, so there was no way he wouldn't know about it.
"Is it because the timeline has changed, history has changed, and even the anomaly is different?"
"No, there's another possibility, which is that this thing didn't survive to the future, and another anomaly replaced its serial number in the future"
The more Lan Mu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Because CANC would destroy anomalies, especially in the early days of its creation, almost all anomalies found would be destroyed if possible, and only those that couldn't be destroyed would be taken in.
Once an anomaly was destroyed, or if it was thoroughly researched and understood, its serial number would be replaced by another anomaly.
Rumor has it that 001 destroyed a large number of anomalies, which means, there were many anomalies in this era that he didn't know about!
"Seems like this era is even more complicated than I thought. Without CANC, would humanity really have existed for a hundred years?"
As Lan Mu conversed with Odonis and the others, he was constantly learning more about this era. Combined with some of the information he obtained in the future, he was able to sense how much humanity abused anomalies before the advent of the containment organization.
It could be said that every western country in the Victorian era had at least 5 anomalies.
And the most powerful country, the Great British Empire, had at least 100 anomalies!
These were all anomalies that the predecessor of the Hunter Association, the Royal Expeditionary Team, searched for in various parts of the world for the British royal family. They searched for miraculous treasures in both colonies and non-colonies, some of which were kept by the royal family, some of which were used for colonization and war …
Lan Mu also heard a familiar name, Ezreal Gates. He was one of the top explorers of the Royal Expeditionary Team. 80 years ago, he proposed to go to America to search for the City of Golden, but he betrayed Britain and instead helped the local colonies gain independence … which led to the establishment of the current United States.
Not only did he not go looking for the City of Golden, he even hid away all the anomalies he brought from the Expeditionary Team.
According to Adonis, Azrael was the first to propose the concept of containment, using his own method to bury many of the anomalies that had been abused by the British royal family.
Hearing that, Lan Mu was dumbfounded. Who said he didn't go looking for the City of Golden?
"So the people of this era all thought that Ezreal didn't go looking for the City of Golden?"
"He obviously found it! Who would've thought that even Adonis didn't know about this … "
"That's right, the legend of the Gates family's City of Golden only became popular a hundred years later. It was only because his descendants used the gold inside that they were suspected"
With that in mind, Lan Mu couldn't help but wonder about Adonis' ability. How did he manage to hide this from him?
And so, Lan Mu took the opportunity to inquire about Adonis' ability and asked.
"How do you know all this? Aren't these all secrets? "
