All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1055 Containment
Tao Yu's words made everyone present feel somewhat pessimistic.

What other flaws need to be found before containment?

However, judging from Tao Yu's composure and the extent of his knowledge, some of the more level-headed hostages soon raised questions.

“I know a little about strange things, but this is the first time I’ve encountered one. I used to think it was just hearsay. What should we do now? Does the young duke have any good ideas?”

"Now that the robbers on the top floor are all gone, can we call for backup?"

"Yes, yes, the authorities should have a solution, right?"

"..."

Some influential people in the crowd had heard of the strange occurrences and were now focused on resolving the issue.

"Will they take us out and infect other people? What do you think is the best course of action for them once they know the rules of transmission?"

Tao Yu's calm words immediately silenced the audience.

Actually, compared to some other unsolvable mysteries, this one does have a relatively traditional and quick way of dealing with it: kill all the infected creatures and eliminate the problem at its source. Then, we might be able to successfully capture the real creature.

However, this is a matter to be handled from a macro and overall perspective.

But for the people who need to be dealt with right now, this is absolutely unacceptable!

"Young Duke, please, you must have a way, right?"

"I don't want to die!"

"very scary!"

"..."

A sense of chaos and despair permeated the exhibition hall.

A group of people pressed their backs against the wall or lay on the ground in fear, but they all made pessimistic remarks, making the atmosphere at the scene look very awkward.

Many people have placed their hopes on Tao Yu.

At first, they were a little taken aback by the chaos at the scene, but then the doctor pointed out that Tao Yu had ruined their plans.

Given the previous infighting among the militants, some people have speculated that the young duke might be someone with similar abilities!

The doctor's earlier claim that the young duke used this ability to seize the inheritance might not be entirely unfounded.

Everything will make sense!
At this point, they certainly wouldn't be concerned about whether Tao Yu used extreme measures to seize the title; they were thinking about how to get out of here alive!

"Since this anomaly was brought here by the doctor, it can obviously be contained. It has specific rules for breaking it. Just be careful and find the pattern. For now, all we need to do is avoid being seen."

This monster wasn't very strong; its ghost realm hadn't even fully formed yet. Tao Yu had already roughly analyzed its structure using his analytical magic. He walked directly towards the doctor's corpse in front of him, looked at the monster's head lying on the ground, and kicked it with his foot.

Sure enough, as Tao Yu kicked, the eyes of that head were still moving, and they saw the person who had tried to surround Chen Jiaju but hadn't died after being shot.

Just a glance from that head was enough to make him scream, even though the other person's back was already pressed against the ground.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! Ah!"

Then, with a splatter, all his internal organs spilled out from his back; he was dead beyond any doubt.

The sudden death of someone caused panic at the scene.

Will I die even if my back is blocked?

However, before panic could spread, Tao Yu raised an eyebrow.
"It's not too difficult to handle."

He then took out a large gold leaf.

The Philosopher's Stone was constantly being refined into gold at Hogwarts. Tao Yu managed to extract a ton of it, which he carried in a magical container.

After the doctor's head was covered with a piece of gold leaf, the itching on everyone's backs immediately subsided.

"what?"

"It doesn't itch anymore!"

“It turns out to be so simple!”

"The young duke is truly amazing! He solved it just like that!"

The crowd began to notice the problem, reaching behind them to touch their backs and discovering that the raised folds had stopped moving.

Many people have already died here. The initial fear stemmed from the unknown and the fear of following in their footsteps.

Now that the symptoms have disappeared, he immediately forgot all about the unfortunate guy who died earlier.

They all showed a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

"Young Duke, may we get up now?"

"It should be possible, but there might still be a slight eerie aura lingering. During this time, make sure no one is around when you take a shower. Wearing clothes should generally be fine. And if you don't have any underlying health conditions, being seen during this period won't necessarily lead to your death."

Tao Yu said casually.

It seems that this strange situation was resolved very simply, but that was only because I analyzed the source and contained it with gold.

Starting with zero intelligence, finding the doctor's severed head would take some effort, and many people might die during the testing process.

"Your Excellency, I cordially invite you to stay at my home for a few days."

Upon learning that there were still some remnants of the strange phenomenon, a young master immediately spoke up.

"I am me too."

"Don't try to take it from me!"

"No need for that. Don't worry about it too much. It will be fine in no more than a week."

If the source is in your own hands, there will naturally be no problem.

"Alright, let's try to notify the outside. There are still some armed men on the first floor. They need to be handed over to the Flying Tigers. Also, there are probably explosives planted in the hotel..."

However, since the explosives were detonated on the doctor, without that threat, the subsequent handling became much simpler.

Chen Jiaju immediately used the walkie-talkie on site, tuned it to the police channel, and began reporting the situation to the outside world...

……

"Make any demands you want, as long as you don't harm the hostages..."

Chen Guorong was still using a megaphone to try to persuade them.

The mobile suit team clashed with the armed men on the first floor and were badly beaten.

At this moment, the entire Hong Kong police force, including the Special Duties Unit (SDU), came out together, presided over by Chan Kwok-wing, the most prestigious officer in the force.

All departments, including the Major Crimes Unit and the Anti-Triad Unit, came together to cooperate.

The explosion that occurred on the upper floor earlier caused a large amount of glass to fall, which greatly worried them.

"Inspector Chen, there's been a problem inside."

Police officers quickly came over and briefly explained the situation inside to Chen Guorong.

"You mean the problems with the hostage housing have all been resolved?"

Chen Guorong himself was a little confused. A lot had indeed happened up there, and he knew that there were colleagues and bodyguards inside.

It's truly unbelievable that they were able to take down the enemy despite facing such firepower.

But since the other party had already sent a message via walkie-talkie, he naturally wouldn't waste any more time.

Otherwise, if the robbers on the first floor rush up again, it will only cause more trouble. "Flying Tigers, move out immediately and eliminate the robbers on the first floor!"

Even without hostages, these robbers were undoubtedly ruthless bandits, and their firepower was no less than that of the Flying Tigers.

However, under the leadership of Zhou Xingxing, a top ace, the Flying Tigers were like heavenly soldiers descending. After Zhou Xingxing rushed in first and disrupted the enemy's firing positions with all sorts of nonsensical tactics, they cleared out the robbers in a very short time.

Following the warning, Zhang Zaishan, a top bomb disposal expert, quickly went to the underground parking lot and removed all the bombs that had been driven into the load-bearing columns.

Meanwhile, several other police officers who had already infiltrated the crowd at the exhibition hall successfully escorted the hostages down after finding the robber's gun.

The moment the hostage appeared at the door, a barrage of spotlights flashed. Despite the magnitude of the incident, the successful rescue of the hostage was still widely reported, which could minimize the negative impact of the event!
"Ka-Kui, you did a great job."

Chen Guorong looked at Chen Jiaju, who came out to report, and a look of appreciation appeared on his face. He saw a reflection of his younger self in this guy.

"Inspector Chen, there are some special events involved this time."

At this moment, Huang Yaozu also stepped forward and whispered something.

This made Chen Guorong's expression freeze.

He was considered a high-ranking officer in the police force and was aware of the existence of the Miscellaneous Affairs Division.

"Are those other things involved too?"

"It involved more than just that. There were reporters inside who filmed the whole thing, and they even used special equipment to successfully film those things."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Chen Guorong was genuinely surprised.

Dealing with ghosts has always been a major headache for them, as very few people can actually see them.

This has made the miscellaneous affairs department truly high-risk, especially with the recent occurrence of those bizarre events. They can't get any people from the UK at all, there's just no way to get them.

So now someone can actually film ghosts?

Then dealing with such problems would be much simpler.

"Well, it's a long story. It's better to just watch the recording. The matter involves the young duke."

Chen Guorong nodded, not finding it too strange.

"It's not surprising that wealthy people have bodyguards who are extraordinary or unusual."

Chen Guorong was well aware of the strength of his colleagues who had infiltrated the group, so apart from Chen Jiaju's risky actions and meritorious service, the main force was probably the bodyguards of those rich men.

Regardless, it's a good thing that the problem can be solved...

Even though I was mentally prepared, and I already had some understanding of ghosts and the supernatural after reaching this position.

But when Chan Kwok-wing, along with high-ranking officials from the Hong Kong police force and even official representatives, came over and saw the entire footage filmed by Lok Wai-ching, they were still completely stunned!
The young duke has a vengeful spirit, and he seems to have a way to deal with these things!
When they finally dealt with that strange creature, they didn't think it would be as simple as ordinary people do.

"If it were any of us, we probably wouldn't be able to handle this problem or find the key point."

"They immediately identified the corpse's head, and there was also gold foil on it. The young duke has always been wary of the supernatural."

Chen Guorong, acting as a representative, tentatively spoke to Tao Yu, who had also arrived at the scene.

“These kinds of strange things are troublesome. You can also feel the rise in gold prices. You have to stock up.”

Tao Yu remained noncommittal.

"I wonder how the young duke's phone manages to capture ghosts, or where one can buy such a phone?"

Although Tao Yu's net worth is not very high, the benefits of the inherited title are now evident. There is no intention from Hong Kong to seize the technology or take away the phones, and there is no indication that the contents cannot be released to the public.

They simply wanted to be able to buy this kind of phone!
"It hasn't been rolled out yet, but it will be available for sale sooner or later."

The magical world has already begun to expand its production capacity.

How many wizards are there in the entire magical world?
Once production capacity increases, Tao Yu will naturally be promoted to the general public.

At most, it would just be a matter of stripping away some abilities that ordinary people cannot use.

Moreover, the existence of the magic phone can give ordinary people some advance warning and preventative measures...

"We now have a better understanding of the situation. We are extremely grateful for Your Excellency's assistance. You are the true hero of this incident."

Without making things difficult or making any demands, the people in Hong Kong expressed their gratitude very sincerely.

They were clear about the specifics. Even disregarding the other party's status, the sheer absurdity of the method presented made no one at the scene want to try it!
"However, we still want to ask, do you intend to distribute this video?"

Some people raised concerns and asked questions.

Tao Yu also knew what they were worried about.

If such a video were to be leaked, it would inevitably cause panic among ordinary people!
If not properly controlled, it could even gradually spread and become a global phenomenon.

The resulting panic and chaos will far outweigh the destruction caused by ghosts and the current supernatural phenomena.

"I know what you're worried about, but I need to remind you that ordinary ghosts are actually quite easy to deal with and not a big problem. However, the eeriness is gradually increasing, and the rate of increase will also accelerate. It's much better for people to be aware of this now and be mentally prepared than to panic suddenly when it happens..."

At least based on the video, this strange creature, which can be codenamed 'Ghost Back', was dealt with quickly, and it wasn't the kind of extremely difficult or unsolvable creature.

Using this kind of bizarre intensity as a preventative measure is a pretty good target.

“Well… what you said does make sense.”

"The videos are edited; they're not released in their entirety, nor are they broadcast through official media, so not everyone will believe them."

Eat your meal one bite at a time.

Similar to UFO incidents, there are also quite a few videos of various monsters and paranormal events.

But most of them treat it as a pastime and entertainment, purely out of human curiosity.

Even so, if a UFO were to actually appear now, it would cause surprise, but not enough to cause social unrest.

Human beings' greatest fear comes from the unknown, and their ability to accept information is much stronger when they know some information in advance.

A little editing, creating some ambiguous visuals, is enough...

Do you know how to edit videos?

Tao Yu turned to look at Le Huizhen, who had also been called over.

"Yes, yes, of course I can do it, and I'm very good at it. Your Grace can leave the whole thing to me."

Le Huizhen's eyes lit up, and she patted her chest, readily agreeing.

Now it's not just that she wants to be famous anymore; after experiencing this incident, she has also realized the powerlessness of humanity in the face of such anomalies!
Now that she knows the situation might be getting worse, she really wants to find a powerful backer to rely on.

Currently, it seems that only the young duke can handle this kind of problem!

You must use every trick in the book to make the other party understand that you are useful, and ideally, you should be hired by them and kept by their side.

Only in this way can one feel safe.

"Well, it's good that you can get things done."

Tao Yu nodded, and this was not kept from Chen Guorong and the official representatives from Hong Kong who came to make contact.

They were happy to do so as well.

With some local connections, it can actually be more integrated...
