Cosmo's words instantly woke Bai Ge up.
The opening of information was like a floodgate, for some reason, as soon as absolute information was accessible to living beings, anomalies would naturally appear in that world.
But Bai Ge's situation was unique. His world didn't have any open information, but his imagination allowed him to access it as if it was open information.
It was like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube, as soon as absolute information appeared, an anomaly would appear.
The two of them corresponded so well that Bai Ge thought that the anomaly was a side effect of his imagination.
But that wasn't all, as soon as a world's characteristic of absolute information appeared, an anomaly would also appear.
It was the same for worlds that didn't have any imagination.
Having thought that through, Bai Ge couldn't help but feel curious about the situation of higher dimensions. What would a world that had been able to produce anomalies since ancient times look like?
On the other hand, Cosmo's expression was solemn. This was a big deal. He had just confidently declared that the Blue and White Society was very united, but now it was confirmed that anomalies existed in lower dimensions.
"It couldn't have been done by someone in the society, could it have been caused by an anomaly? Anomalies come in all shapes and sizes, so it's not impossible "
He couldn't think of Bai Ge's imagination at all, but he didn't want to suspect his own society, so he could only assume that it was caused by an unknown anomaly.
In reality, he wasn't wrong. It wasn't impossible to say that the imagination was an anomaly, it was just that the imagination didn't meet the conditions for anomalies to be born.
As for someone bringing an anomaly from a higher dimension to Bai Ge's dimension, that was even more impossible.
If that was the case, how could a small society member like Cosmo deal with an anomaly from his own dimension without any help? Dimensional protection wouldn't have been effective either.
Cosmo sincerely told him: "Anomalies can't be used carelessly, this is a matter of great importance. If you hand over the anomaly and cooperate with my investigation, I can forget about your attack"
"Don't worry, I have a way to protect you in a higher dimension, I can even help you become a higher dimensional creature and enjoy the air of a new world"
"If you don't …"
Bai Ge continued with a strange expression: "If you don't … forcefully accept me?"
"… Huh?" Cosmo was surprised, not expecting to be scolded like that.
After a short pause, he coldly said: "It's good that you know"
"…" Bai Ge couldn't help but laugh.
He laughed involuntarily, not at Cosmo, but at himself.
Bai Ge had never thought that there would be a day when Lan Bai She would come knocking on his door to take him in.
This feeling made him laugh at himself.
Although the two Lan Bai She were somewhat different, judging from Cosmo's current behavior, at least their attitude towards anomalies was the same.
As soon as they found out that this wasn't some low-dimensional disturbance but rather a containment incident, their attitude immediately changed. Their priority was to investigate the anomaly's situation and control it.
He did not have to take Bai Ge's life. It was a secondary consideration.
Bai Ge even thought that if he really cooperated, he might be able to survive. The other party probably wasn't lying when he said that a low-dimensional creature like him could survive in a higher dimension.
However, it was impossible for Bai Ge to trust him, and it was impossible for him to entrust his life to him.
"How interesting, I can responsibly tell you that there's no room for negotiation" Bai Ge said without hesitation.
Cosmo scowled: "A low-dimensional creature can't possibly resist a higher dimension, even if there are anomalies here. I don't know how many anomalies you have, but if they could get past the dimensional protection, I would've already died. Reality has proven that … "
Before he could finish, Bai Ge cut him off: "Reality has proven that you're not a containment member"
"Ah … huh?" Cosmo was surprised.
Bai Ge continued: "Everything is done with the goal of controlling anomalies as the core goal, even if it means paying a huge price, even if it means letting the holder of the anomaly go. You've shown this attitude, but unfortunately, that's all there is to it. You don't understand the true meaning behind taking the initiative to cooperate with the investigation "
Although the two organizations were different, that didn't mean that Bai Ge couldn't gain the upper hand by showing his strength first.
"Allowing the holder of the anomaly to cooperate with the investigation is only a means, not the goal. In reality, the holder of the anomaly will never trust an outsider who comes to take them in, and will never willingly hand over the anomaly "
"Containment will always rely on strength. Of course, allowing the other party to cooperate at the beginning isn't just a formality, it's a form of psychological pressure. Just like how the Art of War says: 'Surround three and cut off one' "
"This is a strategy of leaving a way out. At the beginning of containment, most of the time, no one will be willing to cooperate with the containment. Only when the containment unit displays an astonishing level of strength and completely cuts off the holder's ability to resist will the holder suddenly remember that they still have the option to surrender and cooperate, thus losing the last bit of courage to resist"
"The biggest taboo of containment operations is the loss of control on a large scale. If the target anomaly has such an ability and recklessly triggers it, even if the containment is successful, the operation will still be considered a failure "
"Because of that, leaving a way out for the other party at the beginning is to minimize the possibility of the other party paying a huge price and triggering a large scale effect. If this is said at the end, it'll be too late, only at the beginning will it be effective. Because both sides haven't resorted to violence at the beginning, the first sentence of the containment unit will be instinctively taken as the real goal by the other party "
Bai Ge's words left Cosmo dumbfounded and stunned.
But that wasn't the end, Bai Ge continued with an imposing manner: "But no matter what, unless the other party chooses to cooperate at the beginning, the problem will eventually be solved by violence. Containment is not an exchange of benefits, nor is it a negotiation. In essence, the strong believe that dangerous goods shouldn't be in the hands of the weak. The weak's possession of the anomalies gives the strong the greatest sense of insecurity, instability, and hidden danger of losing control "
"To put it nicely, it's a 'gun ban' enforced by an order agency for the sake of safety, an armed containment of anomalies"
"The containment organization is the largest organization of violent arbitration. It can be packaged to the outside world, but internally … the person who trained you must have told you the true meaning of containment!"
"If you're really a containment member, you should know that containment operations are always a fierce battle, where strength speaks the loudest"
"From this, it can be seen that you've never participated in a containment operation, otherwise, you wouldn't be so naive"
Saying so, Bai Ge pointed his sword at Cosmo.
"The anomaly is right here with me, come and take it!"
Cosmo was completely stunned by this reprimand.
He knew very well that he wasn't a containment member, he was only a supervisor of an anomaly.
Asking for the other party's cooperation was just a rumor he heard. He felt that he had encountered an anomaly in the wild, so he imitated the standard excuse of the containment organization.
He thought that if he could persuade Bai Ge to give up resistance and complete the containment on his own with various benefits, it would be a great achievement.
He didn't want to lie to Bai Ge, he even thought of several ways to prove that he could definitely save Bai Ge's life. With the strength of the organization, Bai Ge's life was dispensable.
But Bai Ge didn't give him a chance to speak and directly scolded him.
What was even more shameful was that he made a lot of sense. Based on his understanding of the containment members, it really did seem to be the case. Most of them were containment by force, but many of them actually chose to surrender in the end, which gave him the illusion that they were too stupid, couldn't they have just surrendered?
But in reality, would anyone really hand over the thing they relied on the most? And his action of wanting Bai Ge to give up resistance just now was in line with what Bai Ge said: Don't use the means as the end.
He had never received special training from the containment members and had never really participated in the containment operation, so he really didn't think about the twists and turns in this before.
Now that Bai Ge had pointed it out, he actually felt like he had a sudden realization: So our club is such a hooligan, then I'm relieved.
But this feeling was a little shameful.
"Yes, yes, yes … Eh? Why are you more familiar with this than I am … "In a trance, Cosmo felt like he wasn't a containment member, but was being lectured by an instructor.
What's more, Bai Ge's words were full of energy, as if he knew the essence of this kind of thing like the back of his hand. His words were full of confidence and dominance.
It forcefully gave Cosmo the illusion that he was meeting the leader of the club.
Bai Ge's bearing even made him feel like he was the one being taken in and was facing the aggressive Blue and White Club.
"That's not right, I'm a member of the Blue and White Club!"
