Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 235 Information Exchange, Discovering Hidden Dangers

"Once the forced contract connection is established, the rule-distorting power of the aberration will be partially guided and controlled by the contract beacon holder," the arbitrator replied.

"However, this process is extremely unstable and can severely erode and pollute the soul of the holder."

"Even more dangerous is that, according to the simulation, if multiple contract beacons act on the aberrant at the same time, or are used improperly, it may cause the aberrant's rule structure to completely collapse, releasing the massive amount of distorted rule power and corrupting energy accumulated inside, leading to regional spatial structure collapse and energy storms, with the impact potentially extending beyond the scorching hell fragments themselves."

Regional spatial collapse — energy storm — the consequences are more serious than imagined!

"What do you mean by the abnormal power intervention of a third-party entity with higher privileges mentioned in the encrypted message you sent?" Blake seized on another key point.

The projection in the hall changed again, revealing a blurred energy trajectory analysis and several symbols that were similar in style to the visitor installation, but more complex and sophisticated.

"Traces of energy activity from the unit codenamed 'Purifier' have been detected." The arbitrator's voice turned somewhat grave.

"The Purifiers, within the observer civilization's heritage, are responsible for monitoring experimental products that have gone out of control, become contaminated, or severely deviated from their intended path."

A high-authority armed unit that cleans up or resets creations and areas.

"Their operational logic is more direct, and their level of force far exceeds that of this outpost."

"Recently, signs of reconnaissance unit activity have been detected around the perimeter of the Scorching Hell Fragment."

"It is speculated that it may have noticed the active state of the aberration and the violations of the Pale Hand, and is assessing whether a purification intervention is needed."

Purifier!

Armed units responsible for clearing and resetting!

Luo Lin felt a chill run down his spine.

This is far more dangerous than a visitor-based unit that primarily focuses on observation and recording!

If they determine that the activities of the aberrations and the pale hand have reached the standard requiring purification, then the actions they take will likely be indiscriminate and destructive!

What are their purification standards?

"What kind of intervention will it be?" Liana couldn't help but ask, her voice filled with worry.

"Purification standards involve multiple factors, including target threat level assessment, pollution spread risk, and remediation feasibility."

"The specific logic behind the judgment is a core secret of the Purifier unit and is beyond the knowledge of this outpost," the arbitrator replied.

"Intervention methods may include: high-level rule annihilation strikes, regional spatial isolation and blockade, or direct deployment of combat units for physical elimination."

The hall was completely silent.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

The Pale Hand's madness could not only trigger the collapse of the Aberrations, but also attract even more terrifying Purifiers to launch a devastating attack!

At that time, the entire scorching hell fragments, and even the surrounding areas, may be drawn in!

"How can we stop it?" Blake asked in a deep voice.

"Logical deduction provides the following priority recommendations," the arbitrator said, his voice remaining calm.

"First, eliminate or seal the Pale Hand organization's power in the Scorching Hell as soon as possible, cutting off their possibility of continuing to use the Contract Beacon."

"Second, strengthen the monitoring of aberrations and try to find ways to stabilize or weaken their activity and reduce the risk of their rule collapse."

"Third, establish limited contact with the unit responsible for purification, provide an explanation of the local situation and the progress of the treatment, and strive to have them postpone the purification decision."

"Fourth, strictly control or render harmless any discovered contract beacons and similar items."

The suggestions are clear, but each one is fraught with difficulties.

"What kind of help can you offer?" Rowling asked.

This outpost can provide the following assistance:

First, share monitoring data on known strongholds of the Pale Hand.

Second, it provides a model for predicting the energy activity patterns and instability thresholds of distorted variants.

Third, it provides limited technical support for detection and jamming of contract beacon energy characteristics.

Fourth, when a Purifier unit appears, attempt to conduct initial communication as a neutral third party. This was the arbitrator's reply.

"However, please note that this outpost is restricted by the convention and cannot directly participate in combat or militarily intervene in the internal affairs of the Scorching Hell."

This is better than expected.

At the very least, they gained valuable intelligence and a potential, limited source of technical support.

The exchange of information lasted for about half an hour.

The team members asked many more questions about the details, and the arbitrator gave them all clear and logical answers.

Throughout the process, the silvery bud seedlings quietly emitted a silvery glow, resonating with the ripples in the hall, as if silently absorbing and recording this information about its origins.

Finally, the arbitrator proactively provided several encrypted data storage crystals containing the monitoring data, predictive models, and technical information that it had promised to share.

"Information exchange process complete," the arbitrator announced in an electronic voice.

"I suggest you bring the intelligence back to your respective factions as soon as possible and formulate a corresponding action plan."

"The stability of the seventh sector of the Scorching Hell Fragment is in the interest of multiple parties."

"Please note that the evaluation period for Purifier units is usually not very long."

This is a formal invitation to leave, and also a final reminder.

Blake put away the data crystal and nodded at the rotating geometry: "Thanks for the information. We will handle it carefully."

Four metal figures reappeared, guiding the group back along the same path.

Stepping out of the metal door and back onto the scorching volcanic rock, I looked back and saw that the metal door had closed silently, blending into the rock face as if it had never been opened.

The dark blue light outside seemed to have intensified.

The squad did not linger and immediately retreated towards the base.

On the way, everyone remained silent, digesting the astonishing amount of information they had just received.

The secondary maintenance units left behind by the Observer civilization, the failed products of ancient experiments, the out-of-control aberrations, the crazed pale hand, and the ever-watchful Purifiers—the situation in Scorching Hell is more complex and dangerous than anyone could have imagined.

"Upon returning, we must immediately report to the Holy Tower and the Imperial leadership," Blake said in a deep voice.

"The threat of the Purifiers may be a higher priority than the Pale Hand."

Luo Lin nodded, his gaze falling on the incubator in his hand.

The silver flower seedlings have returned to calm, their silvery light soft, but their spirituality has gained an indescribable sense of tranquility, as if they have become more transparent after knowing their own origins.

This tiny magical plant is actually a benign seed from an ancient experiment.

So where will its symbiotic relationship with Ellie lead in the future?

And what discoveries and decisions will the Santa headquarters—the Origin Pact project led by Master Veranika—make after obtaining this new intelligence?

Luo Lin had a vague feeling that he was standing on the edge of a larger and more dangerous vortex.

As for the Holy Tower, the force he currently belongs to and relies on, when facing entities that transcend the level of conventional wizarding organizations, such as the Observer Civilization Heritage and the Purifier Units, its internal decision-making mechanisms, resource allocation, and even ideological differences will likely face unprecedented challenges.

He recalled overhearing private discussions among some senior researchers while conducting research at the Santa Ana headquarters.

Regarding the allocation of resources to traditional dominant schools of thought and vested interests, the obstruction of some cutting-edge but high-risk research projects, and the heated debate among different factions on the direction and risk management of observer legacy research —

The Shadow Raven Tower may appear powerful and stable, but its interior may not be entirely solid.

When a crisis truly breaks out of the ordinary arrives, will these latent disagreements and limitations become fatal weaknesses?

The thought flashed through his mind, but Roland suppressed it. Now was not the time to think about such things.

The most urgent task is to return to base as soon as possible and send out the intelligence.

However, just as the team was about to reach the designated evacuation point, Baha, which was flying high in the sky on alert, suddenly issued a series of sharp and urgent warning cries!

At the same time, the detector on Rolin's wrist also emitted a piercing alarm!
