Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"Furthermore, our advance team discovered unusual signal fluctuations within the territories of countries that have been completely annihilated." Guan Shanyue's expression became more serious. "I suspect that these anomalies are caused by something sinister."

"What's the difference?"

Shen Xingzhuo instantly got into the zone and started brainstorming, trying to connect all the information.

Guan Shanyue immediately stepped aside, revealing the image of the phase interferometer behind her to Shen Xingzhuo.

Different shades of light on the screen are moving slowly, as if they are breathing.

Pointing to the moving images above, she explained, "These are observations from a phase interferometer. These signal characteristics are completely different from those of humans."

Guan Shanyue immediately brought up the data comparison results on the control panel.

The two waveforms are one above the other, with almost no overlap.

"Our conclusion is—" Guan Shanyue carefully chose his words, "There are scenes of life belonging to human civilization here, but they are unrelated to humans."

Shen Xingzhuo nodded. "So you believe that this place has been taken over by the supernatural."

"That's right," Guan Shanyue agreed.

The door behind her opened, and Assistant Xu returned from outside, covered in the frost of the elements.

He handed the documents to Guan Shanyue and immediately reported to his superior:

"The third attempt to penetrate the realm of annihilation has failed."

There was a barely perceptible fear in his eyes.

"There is a membrane there that acts like a protective shield; if we get close, we will immediately suffer severe mental pollution."

Assistant Xu took out the talisman paper that had turned to ashes from his pocket.

Seeing the lingering eerie energy on the talisman ashes, Shen Xingzhuo exclaimed urgently, "Quickly, throw it away!"

Assistant Xu's body reacted faster than his brain, and he threw the talisman ash into a special recycling box outside the command room.

"The talisman is tainted with eerie energy; the pollution in that area is far worse than we imagined!"

Shen Xingzhuo lowered his eyes. "Isolate everyone who has been to the Extinction Zone. We'll discuss it when I get back!"

Guan Shanyue nodded cautiously, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

She has already begun to consider practical strategies for pasting the remaining talismans outside the quarantine area.

And, multitasking, he asked, "If something truly is brewing there..."

"They possess advanced equipment and weaponry comparable to those in interstellar space; things will be far more serious than we anticipate!"

Hearing this, Shen Xingzhuo knew that his time in the ghost stories was even more pressing.

She didn't see Lu Qianling or the others in the command room.

"Have Qianling and the others still not recovered from the legend of the chart manipulation?"

"Logically, they should have successfully escaped from one of them by now!"

According to Shen Xingzhuo's calculations, he had already been inside Guanyin Jinzhong for several days.

Based on Lu Qianling and the others' strength, they should have already escaped from one of the strange tales.

In that case, at the very least, Tianxia will have more advantages than other countries!

Guan Shanyue gently shook her head. "Don't worry, the first batch of children who entered the Legend of the Ranking has successfully completed the storyline. They are currently out of danger."

Qin Shi, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim indignantly, "We were all prepared to welcome them back! But the rules of the Ghost Stories say that those who enter the Ghost Stories of Rankings can enter later than the Chosen Ones, but they must return to the real world from the Ghost Stories' portal at the same time as the Chosen Ones!"

Shen Xingzhuo frowned.

She hardly needed to think to know what kind of tricks the ghost stories were up to.

"It was intentional."
