"I know … I know what you mean …" Jie Rui smiled bitterly.
Bai Ge said, "But you still don't want to betray us, right?"
"Yes, even if others think it's not worth it, I still want to abide by my duty. That's my nature, and also my value, "Jie Rui said.
Bai Ge laughed, "How is that your nature? I'm guessing that you suddenly developed this nature, right? I don't believe that's what you thought a year ago. "
Jie Rui was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "That's right, you're right. But what's done is done. You can kill me, but … you can't kill me. I'm invincible."
Bai Ge couldn't help but feel sad for these youths. They clearly didn't like this organization and knew that all these sacrifices weren't worth it, but they still insisted on protecting the foundation and showing their loyalty.
Suddenly, Bai Ge smiled and said, "By the way, didn't your tutor give you a question? It's a multiple-choice question, isn't it? Did you choose loyalty? "
After Jie Rui was inspired, he became more open-minded and didn't pretend to be cold.
He said in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Do you still remember the content of the question?" Bai Ge asked.
Jie Rui said the content of the question without any hesitation, as if he didn't think that it would harm the organization's interests. It was just a question. The mentor had taught them a lot, and that was just a random question.
After Bai Ge heard the question, he roughly knew what kind of anomaly a multiple-choice question was.
It was a piece of paper in the form of a questionnaire, with many multiple-choice questions about personality and quality.
There were many choices, and the mentor asked everyone to choose loyalty and obedience.
Max also had a similar piece of paper in his memory. The organization called the Illuminati had asked him to do it during a gathering.
"Oh … Don't you think something's wrong?" Bai Ge said.
"… Maybe," Jie Rui said indifferently.
Bai Ge shook his head. This was the terrifying characteristic of anomalies.
Jie Rui's innate nature made him loyal to death. Even if he knew that there was a problem, even if he knew that he shouldn't, he still wanted to show his strength of character.
There were at least eighty people in the Foundation who had suffered similar injuries.
They could only be used once. They could only be used for one or two years, or only a few months, or even a few days.
The only thing that would not happen to a person who suffered the backlash was death at the end of their lifespan.
Such a characteristic seemed to be extremely powerful, but Bai Ge did not want it at all. In fact, he was extremely hostile toward it.
The foundation's abuse of anomalies sent a chill down his spine.
"The existence of those who are injured is also a disaster for mankind."
The reason was very simple. Any person who was injured by the backlash would fall into a continuous and fatal state and would not be able to escape.
The chain reaction would continue!
It was still the same hypothesis. If Jie Rui was buried alive in lava, the person who pushed him in would be dead in the first second. In the second second, because the first interferer had died and the fatal damage from the lava was still ongoing, the person who pushed him down would be shot to death. In the third second, Jie Rui was still trapped in the lava … and the next scapegoat would be found.
No matter how long Jie Rui was soaked in the lava, every second, there would be someone who would pay the price for it!
This cycle of karma entanglement was almost endless.
The chain of karma interfered with each other, forming an unimaginable net. If the backlash effect could endlessly pursue the culprit, then all of mankind would be unable to save themselves and fall into extinction.
Of course, the anomalies definitely could not pursue karma endlessly. After all, that was too heaven-defying. There must be a limit to the pursuit, otherwise it would be extremely terrifying and could even drag the entire universe down with it.
Suppose it could be pursued endlessly, and there was an extremely ancient god-level civilization in the universe. Then in theory, if a person who suffered a backlash fell into a black hole, it was very likely that the person from that civilization would be shot to death.
Before the birth of the Milky Way, that civilization might have done something beyond the imagination of scientists. For example, they might have fired a cannon in a certain direction of the universe, indirectly affecting the birth of the Milky Way.
If they hadn't done that, the Milky Way wouldn't have been born, and then the Solar System wouldn't have been born. Then there wouldn't have been Earth, and there wouldn't have been Earthlings. Finally, there wouldn't have been Bai Ge's brain hole this year. Without the brain hole, there wouldn't have been anomalies. Without anomalies, the Foundation wouldn't have created backlash victims, and those who suffered backlash victims wouldn't have fallen into the black hole later on.
The black hole's continuous damage wouldn't have been magnified seven times, and all those who were involved in karma wouldn't have been shot to death.
In the end, because all those involved had died, it would be the ancient god-level civilization's turn to take the blame.
Of course, this conjecture was nonsense. A small backlash mark couldn't possibly have such terrifying power.
Otherwise, this universe would be too absurd.
But even if the degree of karma involvement was limited, when the number of backlash victims increased, it was enough to cause a crisis for all of mankind.
This was even more likely to go out of control than the [Order of Extinction]!
The [Order of Extinction] blatantly exterminated a species, but it didn't have any benefits in itself. Everyone knew how terrifying it was, so they could just lock it up and not use it as a deterrent.
But the backlash mark made people only see the benefits in front of their eyes, and easily overlook the terrifying hidden dangers behind it.
[Perhaps they also thought of the hidden dangers, but couldn't refuse to use the backlash victims]
[The Foundation has completely deviated from the dogma they advocated on the surface. These anomalies should be destroyed or sealed away, not used to expand their combat power]
Bai Ge didn't object to humans using anomalies.
Because the history of mankind's development was a history of using foreign objects as tools.
Even Bai Ge himself couldn't help but use them. Just like how he knew that the bow tie would become his weakness, but still couldn't resist the temptation to use it for development.
After all, humans were always selfish. If he was truly that selfless, he would've given up on using his brain hole a long time ago. At most, he would've just made a movie or wrote a novel to live a carefree life.
Why would he create anomalies for the sake of his infinite eternity, and secretly become the number one anti-humanity felon in the world?
They could be used, but they couldn't be abused.
Whether or not an anomaly could be used by humans depended on the user's ability, and whether or not they could control the anomaly.
If the Foundation could perfectly monitor the situation of each anomaly victim, and properly supervise and manage them, then there was nothing wrong with using the anomaly victims.
But did they? If they did, they wouldn't have let these anomaly victims fall into Bai Ge's hands.
According to Bai Ge's estimation, the Foundation thought that they could intimidate other countries and plant spies in other countries, probably because they thought that no one in the world would dare to force them.
Bai Ge himself had to be careful when facing anomalies. Even if he knew that it would be fine to put the Jie Rui into his brain hole, he still didn't dare to act recklessly.
This organization was even more arrogant than he was. Bai Ge felt that the Foundation had underestimated anomalies, underestimated the people of the world, and was a bit too arrogant.
[Light breeds order, darkness breeds chaos]
[No matter what, a country still has self-control, but it's hard to say if it's an organization … they're the biggest threat, I'm too easily implicated]
In Bai Ge's mind, he suddenly felt that the Foundation was the most urgent enemy to deal with.
After all, up until now, all the anomalies in other countries had never been in trouble.
When something happened to the Pan Am Building, the Lighthouse Bureau at least knew how to deal with the trouble of public opinion, but the Foundation only knew how to snatch anomalies.
[The Lighthouse Bureau only has three anomalies. I've already got one, I'll deal with the other two later]
[Destroy the Foundation first!]
Bai Ge originally wanted to wait until he was stronger before dealing with the Foundation, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
He took out his phone to check the map.
Red dots were all over the world, most of them were Ling Dang's clones.
Bai Ge had a very good way to distinguish them, and that was to let Ling Dang pull his soul out of the matter every once in a while and put it back.
The abnormality of Speedy Island was the soul. Without Ling Dang's soul, the matter was just ordinary matter.
In this way, the large area of red dots on the map would quickly shrink and then recover.
It looked like the red dots were flashing, like a blinking eye.
In comparison, a surpasser who had awakened magic power would not affect him.
Because the magic created by Bai Ge was a universal law, a universal characteristic, and belonged to science.
When Bai Ge set up the anomaly map, he only required it to show supernatural things, which were defined as things with independent abnormal characteristics. Because the biggest characteristic of anomalies was that they were incompatible with the universe. They had their own logic and sometimes contradicted the objective laws.
The existence of mages did not produce red dots, because this was something that everyone could learn.
If even the objective laws of the universe became red dots, then the map would be scarlet.
Bai Ge observed carefully. In Australia, there were hundreds of red dots. That was the Foundation's sphere of influence and also a major threat to him.
In addition, there were several red dots in Virginia. There were originally more, but Jie Rui and the other twelve came to San Francisco, so there were fewer of them.
As expected, the remaining red dots were also the victims of the anomaly.
"All the victims of the anomaly, not a single one must be left out."
"Ling Dang, is there a better place to settle the victims of the anomaly?" Bai Ge asked.
Ling Dang immediately replied, "Brain hole."
"Eh? Didn't you say there was a risk? "Bai Ge asked.
"There is a risk, so I asked you to figure out the criteria for its damage definition. When you tested that they could be strengthened, I was already sure that the brain hole wouldn't trigger the effect, "Ling Dang said.
After thinking about it deeply, Bai Ge also understood.
Any random person on Earth was almost invincible when they entered the brain hole, so relatively speaking, people had become stronger, and stronger in a way that defied the natural order.
If the victims of the anomaly could accept the Encourage spell, they could accept the brain hole.
Almost as soon as Ling Dang finished speaking, Jie Rui and the others immediately disappeared before Bai Ge's eyes.
Everyone entered the brain hole.
