Chapter 287 Long Huiqiao, 003 and Wang Shou

"what--!"

"Run!"

The third, the fourth... Witnessing their companions undergo one transformation after another, their remaining rationality quickly collapsed in the face of extreme fear. The violent fluctuations in their emotions were like sparks thrown into boiling oil, igniting more latent "lesions".

The piercing alarm finally went off, and several researchers who were still able to remain calm slammed their hands on the emergency button outside the isolation door.

Soon, a team of robots flashing red warning lights forced open the isolation door and entered the laboratory to physically subdue the researchers who had lost their minds.

The camera then switched to show "double shadow disease" breaking out in various parts of the world, cities engulfed in flames, armies deployed to suppress it, and cries and gunfire echoing through the streets and alleys.

Two months later, Eisennet announced its integration with the real world, imposing strict restrictions on internet access for most people, especially on content that could trigger intense emotional reactions, which was completely blocked.

Seeing this, the interns in the space 'screening room,' including Li Guanqi, were still able to barely maintain a semblance of calm.

They are, after all, "latecomers," and textbooks have already clearly described the causes and characteristics of "double vision"—emotional triggers and emotional transmission.

In their daily lives, they have long been accustomed to subconsciously controlling their emotional fluctuations, and ordinary trash talk and bloody and violent scenes cannot break their defenses.

However, the images that Qi Mengsi played next went beyond the realm of "common sense".

The scene shifted abruptly from the devastation on the ground to the desolate universe, focusing on the two world-destroying cards suspended in orbit outside the planet Biantana.

Cold, electronic data appeared above the card.

[Estimated total number of cases: 1225 million]

[Current acetylene fluctuation: 2567784]

"Hiss—" The knowledgeable intern couldn't help but gasp.

Xia Sheng's pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression turned serious.

This symbol is very familiar to people who do scientific research. It represents the Nar extreme value, which is the critical Nar concentration or fluctuation that triggers the smart chain reaction.

The cost of a newly upgraded epic card typically fluctuates around 100 nar.

These two... two million five hundred and sixty thousand?!

Li Guanqi silently calculated that there were more than two million extreme values. This was no longer a simple matter of energy intensity; it represented a crushing defeat at the level of rules or concepts.

Qi Mengsi felt that the stimulation they had received was not enough, so she continued down the timeline.

The numbers in the image began to jump.

As time went on, the values ​​of "cumulative number of cases" and "acetylcholine fluctuations" continued to climb upwards, as if injected with a catalyst.

Two years later, in August of the new Spiritual Calendar 1053.

[Estimated total number of cases: 645.67 million]

[Current acetylene fluctuation: 3105500]

The interns' eyes widened in disbelief. "This... the volatility of ethylene will increase?"

"What a joke..." Tang Xin covered her mouth.

"It's alive?!"

This discovery was like a bucket of ice water poured over the hearts of all the interns from head to toe.

The disaster, like a living thing, kept "getting stronger"!
Someone swallowed hard.

"If... if it keeps going on like this," a bespectacled, seemingly composed boy's voice trembled slightly, "what will happen in the end?"

No one could answer his question; the space screening room was deathly silent.

No one knows the answer to this question, not even Wang Shou.

But everyone understands a simple truth: we absolutely cannot let this thing grow any further!
Qi Mengsi's cool voice rang out at the right moment: "Therefore, in August of the New Spirit Calendar 1053, the Five-Party Round Table Conference of the Biantana Alliance passed a major decision."

On the screen, five badges, each representing a different superpower, are displayed around a round table.

"In order to more effectively respond to this unprecedented disaster and concentrate efforts on resolving the Double Shadow Disease and its root causes, Magic Card Management Co., Ltd. and the Frontline Legion have announced a merger, reorganizing into a brand-new, super-powerful organization—"

In the video, the company and frontline military badges gradually merge, eventually forming a brand new emblem that exudes a cold and dignified aura.

"The Spirit Control Division," Qi Mengsi murmured, uttering the name that had emerged in this era.

The video continues to play as time progresses.

The establishment of the Soul Control Bureau did effectively limit the increase in the number of cases. For example, an indicator called "rationality rate" was added to the supercomputing ring, and a warning line could be set. When it reaches 60%, an alarm would be issued and the network would be shut down.

Statistics show that only 20% of cases are caused by direct contact, while the remaining 80% are caused by continuous cyberattacks.

If you don't interact with others, you'll probably never develop the illness in your life.

But humans are social beings, and permanently losing internet access is almost as dangerous as losing a life, so the only option is to set it to disconnect when a certain threshold is reached.

The Bureau of Spirit Control subsequently introduced many measures, but these could only alleviate the symptoms, not cure the problem.

People are far more sensitive to negative emotions than positive ones. If you ask ten people to rate you, the good mood brought by the first nine positive reviews can be ruined by the last negative review.

Besides, people need to work, and people need to go to school.

Life is full of disappointments, and under natural circumstances, people tend to accumulate negative emotions.

If it's not cured completely, it will explode sooner or later.

The timeline of the video continues to jump forward.

In the year 1061 of the New Spirit Calendar, the Alliance, in conjunction with two Level 7 fortresses, mobilized an unprecedentedly large fleet to launch a radical operation codenamed 'Purification,' targeting the two world-destroying cards floating in the universe.

"Finally... they're getting serious!" an intern whispered, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

Xia Sheng's tone was solemn: "Two level-seven fortresses, Sky Sanctuary and Dream Collapse Realm?"

On the screen, countless bright ships resembled a group of awakened steel behemoths. The three runes "Dragon Radiance" engraved on the bow of the ships shimmered with a cold and murderous glow against the dark background of the universe. The roar of the engines could penetrate the screen and vibrate everyone's eardrums, even through the images.

"Long Huiqiao!" Li Guanqi's eyes lit up, and a surge of excitement rushed to his head.

The order was given, and the Celestial Radiance Ship and the Celestial Dragon Meteor DRA aimed at the two World Destruction Cards, with thousands of cannons flashing blinding light at the same time!

Meanwhile, on the surface of Biantana, countless hidden launch silos opened their covers, and massive interstellar missiles, trailing long, fiery white tails, pierced the atmosphere like a reverse meteor shower, converging with the energy beams unleashed by the fleet to form a destructive torrent that hurtled towards the two cards.

In an instant, the silent universe was completely illuminated, and the surge of energy caused slight ripples and snow noise in the images.

Violent explosions erupted one after another, bursting forth in a dense and dazzling display of death.

"See that! A saturation attack!" An intern with an earring excitedly pumped his fist. "No matter how weird the thing is, it can't withstand this level of concentrated fire!"

However, before he finished speaking, something strange happened.

Everyone thought that under such saturation of firepower, those two cards would surely be reduced to cosmic dust.

But at that moment, invisible ripples suddenly appeared in the space around the World Destroyer Card. Twelve ghostly tiny satellites appeared out of thin air without warning. They were completely black, without any energy fluctuations or complex weapon modules, just like twelve inconspicuous space pebbles.

The next second, the twelve "pebbles" moved.

They did not fire energy cannons or deploy shields; instead, they met the devastating torrent of attacks head-on with a primitive yet terrifying speed that made it impossible for any detection equipment to pinpoint their location.

The interns watched helplessly as the missiles and energy beams, which had been given high hopes, shattered, annihilated, or strangely deflected the moment they made contact with the tiny satellites, like fragile glass hitting an indestructible steel plate. Not a single wisp of energy could break through their interception.

"What...what is that?" The smiles on the interns' faces froze, and their voices changed.

Then, an even more chilling scene unfolded: after easily thwarting the first wave of attacks, the twelve ghostly satellites, without the slightest pause, transformed into twelve elusive black streaks of light, hurtling straight into the massive Dragon Radiance Fleet with an extremely pure physical form.

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected; only the sound of metal tearing and the dull thuds of the ship being pierced and broken were transmitted back through the imaging equipment in the silent universe.

Once mighty and majestic giant warships were as fragile as paper toys in front of these insignificant satellites. Their hulls were easily pierced, their armor torn apart, and their cores detonated. Before they could make any effective evasive maneuvers, they turned into burning wreckage in space.

The once magnificent Dragon Glory Fleet, which carried the hopes of countless people, was shattered and utterly defeated in just a few minutes.

Inside the space screening room, the air that had been filled with excitement and anticipation suddenly froze, so thick you could hear a pin drop.

"How...how could this be..." an intern muttered absentmindedly, his voice dry and hoarse, "Just because of...an impact?"

"Those satellites...we can't detect their trajectories, we can't lock onto them..."

Xia Sheng frowned, staring intently at the ghostly black dots flitting across the screen. "Water droplets?" Li Guanqi's gaze darkened, recalling something from a science fiction work.

He felt a chill run through his body. If double shadow disease was a chronic poison lurking in the shadows, then these twelve incomprehensible satellites were like the sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads, ready to fall—more direct and more unreasonable.

Fear, a fear more intense and desperate than ever before, gripped the hearts of every intern.

"How... how are we supposed to fight this?!" someone couldn't help but shout.

Li Guanqi was also thinking about this problem: how could they possibly fight back?

Perhaps influenced by the culture of the Xialong Kingdom in his previous life, he was actually a warmonger with the idea that "there are ways to fight even if there are only a few."

but--

How to fight this?

Technology has its limits, but magic cards do not.

Even with the highest level of combat power gathered across the entire planet, they are as fragile as paper in front of 12 water droplets.
"That's not right." Li Guanqi noticed the blind spot, his gaze thoughtful. "12?"

What did he think of when he saw that number?

"Could these 12 ghost satellites be...?"

Qi Mengsi did not offer an explanation, but simply pressed the controller, and time continued to advance.

It is August 1065, two years ago.

at this time.

[Estimated total number of cases: 645.67 million]

[Current acetylene fluctuation: 6154560]

The imaging system gave these two World Destruction Cards another name—003.

001 is the Divine Will Big Bang in 204, and the Yina fluctuation has twelve million extreme values.

002 refers to the Tian Ting incident in 640, where the argon wave fluctuation has 9.8 million extreme values.

This disaster is the third in history and continues to grow.

The Bureau of Spirit Control could no longer sit still, and in the same year, it made a major internal decision—to select a royal hand.

Previously, the Juling Division was under a joint system, jointly governed by the former chairman of the company and the former commander of the front-line army.

In 1065, a powerful king was chosen to be put forward.

Just when everyone thought the choice for the champion would be between these two seasoned veterans, something astonishing happened: the two people who had made enormous contributions to the world agreed to nominate a previously unknown person as the champion.

A girl who looks like she's not yet an adult.

She always appeared in a black robe and a mask, revealing only her blue eyes.

He doesn't talk much, and most of the matters are handled by an old man who accompanies him.

This incident amused the general public, especially Hu Ji, the highest authority in the Council, who laughed heartily.

Huki is one of the twelve ghost satellites, but no one in the world dares to touch her.

If she were not in power, there would be considerable turmoil.

To bring her down, you need a reason, or you can assassinate her and then fabricate one.

The twelve ghost satellites are also known in the mortal world as the Twelve Hour Hands by the Spirit Control Bureau.

The absurdity of an underage girl becoming the King of Spirits' Handler quickly spread.

Countless people were eager to invite this master to a duel to see his strength.

For these people, regardless of whether they win or lose this duel, it generates massive traffic and is incredibly valuable intelligence.

Wang Shou did not respond to any of the duel invitations, and the old man in the suit next to him declined them, citing Wang Shou's busy schedule.

This refusal to duel has fueled an even greater uproar online.

The people of Biantana despise those who avoid duels.

"No way? Is that all the guts Wang Shou has? Is he a coward?"

"A teenage girl like you, are you really sure you can sit in this position? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

"Hilarious! He lets his old subordinates handle everything. I'd rather have my dog ​​do the job; at least it barks a couple of times!"

"How did she become the top leader? Are the chairman and the commander senile? Or have they been bewitched by this little girl?"

Various offensive comments and parody images have emerged one after another. Some people have even photoshopped Wang Shou's black robe image onto a baby bottle, with the caption: "Wang Shou's official duty today: gulp down milk, do not disturb."

Hu Ji's side seized every opportunity to fan the flames, wishing they could portray Wang Shou as a helpless giant baby, in order to highlight the brilliance and might of Lord Hu Ji.

However, no matter how noisy the outside world is, Wang Shou remains calm and composed, neither showing his face nor responding.

The public relations department of the Spirit Control Bureau was in a state of chaos, putting out fires every day, but the source of the problem remained silent, and everything was just a stopgap measure. Wang Shou herself acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual, and the vicious words had nothing to do with her.

The days passed in this eerie calm amidst turbulent undercurrents, until a month later.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar shattered the tranquility of the headquarters of the Soul Control Bureau, and a piercing alarm instantly resounded through the sky.

One of the twelve hands of the hour, codenamed "The Butcher," Reishardt, led his psychic army, centered around the Kusha Nuwei clan, like a red-hot blade, ruthlessly piercing the heart of the Soul Reaper.

The troublemakers have finally arrived!
Wang Shou's agent, the Purger, an old man in a suit codenamed "Little Four Joys," calmly called out to Wang Shou.

The content wasn't a request for support, but rather a sentence—

"Took the bait."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in black robes slowly emerged from the smoke and dust at the edge of the battlefield.

She walked slowly, yet with a strange rhythm.

Reishart's agitated anger subsided strangely the moment she appeared.

He whirled around, his crimson gaze locking onto the black-robed figure, his entire being radiating a palpable fury and killing intent: "Where is Vesas? Hand him over!"

The exceptionally ferocious Fenrir wolf let out a low growl, its limbs suddenly exerting force, transforming into a purplish-red afterimage as it snatched the axe and pounced on the woman in black robes, bringing a stench with it.

However, the woman in the black robe stood there calmly, without moving an inch.

Just a split second before Fenrir the wolf swung its giant axe—

"Qiang!"

A clear, resonant sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out, sparks flying everywhere!
A flashing blade appeared out of nowhere in front of the woman in black robes, accurately blocking the Fenrir wolf's massive axe.

With a flash of sword light, a petite yet agile figure appeared—Sword Princess Zero!

Lingyi's wrist sank slightly, then suddenly jerked, and an extremely refined and skillful force erupted from the blade.

The Fenrir wolf, whose size far exceeded hers, let out a howl and was sent flying backward by the force. Its eyes were filled with surprise and fear as it looked at Lingyi.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent.

"Want to know the answer?" the woman in black robes asked slowly, her voice cold and clear.

She slowly raised her left hand, and an exquisite and technologically advanced dueling disk silently unfolded at her wrist, with a faint blue light flowing across its surface. "It's very simple."

She slowly raised her head and looked directly at the enraged Leshardt.

"Beat me."

All sound abruptly ceased.

Li Guanqi's pupils suddenly contracted as he watched this scene.
