Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 122 Departure Immediately
When Xia Shou walked out of the dormitory, he had a bad feeling in his heart. The first thing he discovered was that the control bureau was almost empty, especially the female employees. It took a long time to see one. The office was filled with the sound of shredders. Bundles of documents were carried out, gathered in the hall, shredded, and then taken away.

The comprehensive news TV in the hall was broadcasting news from all official channels. Many of the news reports were about the roads out of the city being filled with polluted dust, which would have a serious impact on children and women leaving the city. It was hoped that women and children would stay at home and not go out in the near future.

Xia Shou could tell at a glance that this news was trying to fool ordinary people. The real reason was that the Eye of the Tree Roots had set up a barrier. Ordinary women and children in this city could not leave the city. They would be affected by supernatural forces and encounter ghost walls and various physical discomforts in the process of leaving the city.

Xia Shou took out his cell phone and logged into a random forum website, where everyone was discussing the strange phenomena that had recently occurred in life.

Normally, ordinary people would actively ignore all kinds of abnormal phenomena. Even if the entire Public Security Bureau was twisted into a Rubik's Cube in front of them, they would turn a blind eye. However, when the same strange phenomenon was widely spread over a large area, they would become able to perceive the abnormal phenomenon.

"We are already preparing for the worst." Edson came to Xia Shou and handed him a cigarette. "Want to smoke?"

"No, smoking is prohibited in public places in the bureau, right?"

"It doesn't matter. The women are all gone. Men can always tolerate men." Edson lit a cigarette as if no one was around.

Xia Shou was silent for a while, then asked, "Does this kind of abnormal situation covering the entire city happen often?"

“How many people do you think there are in the world?”

“I remember it was 70 billion.”

"Have you counted?"

"How could I have counted them? But that's what the statistics say."

"The real answer is about 20 billion. Things like half of the people in a city suddenly dying happen all the time."

Xia Shou was shocked.

If this happens often, wouldn't ordinary people notice it?
"The United States once dropped two destructive weapons on a country, but the number of casualties caused by those weapons was zero."

"Minister Edson, are you kidding?" Xia Shou widened his eyes.

Edson's expression was very calm. "There is no psychological pressure in dropping two bombs on a city where there are no living people. The mushroom cloud is just a tombstone for the dead. Everything after the incident will be covered up. All the human evidence you have seen that can prove this history is manipulated by the Control Bureau. Human collective cognition is easier to deceive than you think."

Xia Shou remained silent for a long time.

Edson took a deep puff of his cigarette and continued, “But it’s better to live in a lie, knowing that you might be bombed by a bomb that could destroy the entire city because of the madness of the enemy country. This fear is much gentler than the truth.

If they knew that they could fall into a situation more horrible than death at any time because of some inexplicable, bold application of a small concept forbidden object, or because of an unexplained disaster, everyone would go crazy. "

"What a terrible world." Xia Shou said this unconsciously.

"Well, it's terrible. We failed again this time. Our opponent is just a small and unknown sect." Edson sighed deeply. "I'm sorry to tell you these useless things. I just feel a little sad. Do you have your own things to do?"

"Mr. Xia, have you seen the minister?" Reed suddenly came towards him.

Xia Shou was stunned when he heard this, and pointed at Edson beside him, but suddenly found that there was no one next to him.

"He was just talking to me here, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye." "Really, the director is looking for him, but at this critical moment, he turned off his cell phone. Where on earth was he?" Reed complained and cursed as he looked elsewhere.

Xia Shou looked around blankly at the empty space around him, and asked the employee closest to him who was shredding documents: "Did you see Minister Edson standing here and talking to me just now?"

"I didn't notice." The other person shook his head and continued to shred paper attentively.

At this moment, Su Weiyu came over with a big bag of things, and Xia Shou hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Weiyu, did you put the paper on Edson's desk?"

"Oh, I didn't. I was going to put it there, but I saw him pick up the paper and want to detect the handwriting, so I took it back. They have a forbidden object here that can depict the writer's appearance through the handwriting." Su Weiyu put the backpack behind her on the ground and unzipped it. Inside were various special bows and crossbows that did not contain metal.

Su Weiyu thought for a moment and said, "If your idea is printed using a printer, the banned items won't be found."

Xia Shou thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't plan to use this method anymore."

The note he had asked Su Weiyu to deliver previously contained the method of entering the Blood Mother Cult. The specific method was: let Edson send a reliable fighter, lie in the suitcase, and then wait quietly in Rawlins Church.

As for Xia Shou, she could let Su Weiyu take her and the operator into Rollins Church together without being discovered.

But just now, Xia Shou changed his mind, because he suddenly realized that this approach might expose his self-destructive behavior.

Xia Shou's previous observations have led to a reliable conclusion: Seeking one's own death may affect the entire world, but it cannot affect the Sea of ​​Origin itself.

In other words, as long as he uses the Self-Destruction Technique, people suffering from the Abyssinia will notice some subtle strange changes, such as the depth in front of them suddenly increasing by several meters, or abnormal changes in certain scenes in the dream sea, etc.

There must be quite a few deep divers among the employees of the Control Bureau. Even the top management may have noticed this strange phenomenon and have already begun secretly studying it.

If Su Weiyu had just left a note for Edson, then the top management could easily come up with a series of leaps and bounds: this kind of forward-looking information has a predictive nature, and this information will be beneficial to the breakthrough of the Blood Mother Cult, and the beneficiaries may be those within the Control Bureau who are hostile to the Blood Mother Cult.

Leaving a message once may not be a problem, but if it happens too often, the scope of suspects will continue to narrow, and in the end, the control bureau will definitely find him.

Xia Shou knew very well that although the Control Bureau was the one that maintained order between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world, it was by no means a good thing.

This can be seen from what Edson just said to him.

The power of resetting time by seeking one's own death is too strong. If the higher-ups of the Control Bureau knew about it, he would definitely be controlled. As a trial and error machine for large-scale and extremely dangerous tasks, he was constantly activated every 24 hours.

At this point, he was actually no different from someone being sliced.

It seems that I have to be more cautious in using the strategy of seeking death in the future, Xia Shou thought secretly.

Su Weiyu saw that he was a little distracted, so she called out softly, "Xia Shou?"

Xia Shou came back to his senses, was silent for a while, and said, "We will set off now."

"Now? Don't you wait for your self-destruction to cool down?!" Su Weiyu looked at him in shock.
