Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Livia stomped her high heels, twisted them, let out another ambiguous laugh, and turned to leave.

"Neuropathy!"

The three children looked at her retreating figure, feeling utterly bewildered.

Ignore him; it seems he's pretty much right.

Li Xia turned his attention back and whispered in the team channel, "This assessment will probably involve a lot of things. First, we need to figure out what this world is like, and what the assessment is all about?"

The task description will only provide a general overview; you'll have to discover all the details and the truth for yourself.

This is also the biggest difference between the original world and the derived world.

Only after stripping away the prophet's advantages and familiarity with the plot will the apostle's true level be revealed.

In a world with abundant intelligence, it's not surprising to gain the greatest benefits, but the most important thing is whether you still have that ability in an unfamiliar world.

Li Xia pondered for a moment, then walked to the porch.

The guards on the corridor looked at him and immediately stood at attention and saluted in a fluster: "Minister."

Li Xia nodded and walked towards her office.

The two rooms were not far apart, practically within walking distance, giving ample reason to suspect that their proximity was for the convenience of the two to have an affair anytime, anywhere.

I think what the viper said is true; it really is an animal dominated by its lower body.

Several soldiers in different uniforms stood outside the office door. When they saw Li Xia, they were respectful, but they lacked the fear that the others showed.

Li Xia's gaze fell on them; the special mark looked like a pair of eyes, exactly the same as the necklace worn by the Flower-Kissing Viper.

[Senior Intelligence Agent: Ellison]

"Mr. Minister."

"Ah."

Li Xia nodded in return, and then asked directly:

"Is my office clean? Some things in there are confidential, so don't touch them."

Furthermore, what were the results of the investigation?

Ellison shook his head: "The other party is completely dead, and no trace can be found, but we detected something on your desk..."

He paused here, a hint of disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Li Xia:

"Residual power from RS-012 detected..."

RS-012?

What is that?

Li Xia nodded calmly:

"You can leave once you're done cleaning. I still need my office. I'll leave the rest of this to you. Just let me know if you have any information."

"Yes, Minister."

Ellison bowed again and winked at the people in the room who were still scanning with various instruments.

They lined up and left quickly and silently.

Li Xia sat back down at her desk, looking at the completely renovated office, as if nothing had happened. Even the documents and items on the desk were exactly the same as before.

As for whether it has been touched or not... I don't know.

Only now has Li Xia had time to look around her entire office.

This office is mostly made of metal, a stark contrast to the previous solid wood room, giving it a high-tech feel.

Outside the window, there was bright sunshine and lush greenery, but Li Xia could keenly sense that it wasn't real, but rather something like a virtual screen.

He stood up, closed the door, and ran his fingers across the desk.

There was a screen in front of me, which looked much like a real computer, only with a more high-tech feel.

He only needed to familiarize himself with it briefly to grasp the general logic of human-computer interaction.

"Boss, should we check the information in the system?"

"No!" Li Xia said in a low voice in the team channel without the slightest hesitation: "Browsing this kind of information system will inevitably leave a trace."

If I use it to look up a lot of basic information, I'm very likely to be exposed; I can only access some key information.

"Take a walk around the room and see if there are any paper documents. Don't rush, just flip through them randomly. I suspect the office is being monitored."

The three little ones were taken aback, but they agreed wholeheartedly. They immediately spread out and crawled around the office, picking up and examining everything like curious little animals.

After pondering for a while, Li Xia first searched for assessment-related information within the system. His privileges were undoubtedly quite high, and in a short while, countless documents appeared on the page.

The logos and names of the nine companies are listed from top to bottom, with their corresponding evaluation levels indicated at the end:

Upper-level: Fiery Nuclear Power, Virtual Network, Sequential Mathematics

Median: Qingrang Biotechnology, Superdimensional Medical, Hengzhu Industry, Chengkong Environment

Lower-tier: Fortified Defense, Crystal Materials

Li Xia glanced at the rankings and then looked at the evaluation rules section.

This system does not mandate a lower tier, but rather divides candidates into three fixed tiers: upper, middle, and lower, based on their overall scores.

If everyone scores high enough, they can all rise to the top; if everyone scores poorly, they may all fall to the bottom.

The core evaluation system consists of several dimensions, such as the stability of the jurisdiction, the intensity of serious incidents, and the performance of core functions.

The two most critical factors that led to the "strong defense" ranking being lower were the stability of the jurisdiction and the intensity of serious incidents, both of which scored extremely low.

Li Xia reviewed the deductions from the past three months once again.

In the past three months, the border barrier has suffered three medium-sized breaches, and multiple groups of thugs have entered the back alleys, causing hundreds of civilian casualties.

The black market for genetic injections is rampant, and gang warfare is frequent...

What's even more intriguing is that the report marked three "RS infiltration incidents of unknown origin," all of which occurred within the jurisdiction of the Special Operations Department and were ultimately closed hastily with the explanation of "natural aging of the barrier."

RS-012........

After thinking for a while, Li Xia directly searched for RS-012 in the database as the core clue of this incident.

If he doesn't look up the relevant information, he'll have even more problems.

A red warning sign appeared on the screen and then disappeared.

This was to verify his authority, but Li Xia was using the minister's office, so his authority was naturally high enough.

Then a rather detailed report appeared on the screen.

RS-012

Project codename: Heart-Eating Nematode

Threat Level: ***** (Extremely High Risk)

The Origin of Rules: Fragments of Rules Subordinate to Consciousness

Containment Unit: Third Containment Site of the Institute of Ordination (Escaped)

Status: Can be driven in some way by RS-899 (Heartless Man) and RS-723 (Void).

Any attempt at physical destruction is prohibited.

RS-012 is a product of regularity manifestation. High temperature, corrosion, cutting and other methods will not only fail to destroy the sample, but will also cause the regularity energy to diffuse, causing large-scale contamination. Violators will be held accountable as if it were a Level 1 accident.

description:

RS-012 is an anomaly formed from fragments of the "consciousness subordination" rule that have been contaminated by human desire for control and obsession with collective loyalty. It is also one of the most concealed mental RS types known to date.

Application Trial:

RS-012 is normally a black nematode that can be cut by RS-666 (neuroscalpel), and the detached parts still retain the relevant characteristics for a certain period of time.

Tests have shown that RS-012 completely devours a person's free will and creates a blank personality. If it is reconstructed by RS-391 (Personality Painter), a completely new will will be born.

Note: RS-012 has escaped and is extremely dangerous. Anyone who discovers it should evacuate immediately, avoid direct eye contact, and report to the Institute of Ordination for containment.

The three little ones who had also gathered around looked at each other in bewilderment as they read the contents of the document.

After a while, Aowu said, "Boss, you just woke up and this is what you're facing?"

Thankfully, it has already failed.

Li Xia closed the page, fell into deep thought, and slowly shook his head: "No, Annie did not fail."

The three little ones widened their eyes in astonishment as they stared at Li Xia.

"I'm afraid she has already succeeded."

The original head of the operations department has been completely swallowed up by RS-012.

The Temple of Light simply seized the opportunity and abandoned me.

Li Xia memorized this information and asked, "So? Have you found any useful clues over there?"

"Have!"

Aowu has compiled everything the three brothers discovered and listed it all in the team chat.

"Heitan found a book that was hard to classify as either a collection of stories or a popular science book; it was more like a history book that gave a general account of the origins of the subject."

A past experiment triggered a special kind of energy, causing the rules and spirit that underpin the world to mix together and form a special thing called an isomer, which is also an abbreviation for RS.

Because each isomer is a product of the combination of spirit and rules, and has different characteristics, they are numbered according to their classification characteristics, with the greater the danger, the higher the ranking.

Moreover, isomers cannot be destroyed. Even if they are completely destroyed, they will simply reappear in another place after a period of time.

Therefore, the only solution is to contain the animals according to their characteristics.

"Boss, doesn't this look familiar?"

"Ah."

Li Xia nodded: "It's a bit like a foundation, except that everything here originated from the original 'Singularity Project'."

It is a combination of world rules and spiritual entities, while the Foundation is an entity, phenomenon, or object that violates known laws of nature and possesses anomalous properties.

"That's about it," Awoo continued.

"Moreover, the world has basically fallen, and the outside world is filled with monsters created by the 'Singularity Project'."

These monsters do not contain the complete rules; they are merely corrupted by the rules and the mind, possessing a certain degree of rule-based nature. They are difficult to kill, making them exceptionally dangerous.

In the present world, perhaps only cities with relatively large land areas like ours are protected by a data barrier.

This barrier can effectively prevent the invasion of heterogeneous organisms, and the population should be around 1200 million.

Centered on the 'Yuanxu Head', the system is divided into nine sectors, each belonging to one of the nine major companies.

That's about it...

"Let's go out and take a look first."

All sorts of information were mixed together, intricate and complex, like a fog shrouding the viewer.

Li Xia couldn't discern much information at the moment, so she thought it best to go out and experience the world.

Following the signs and the occasional hints from the Hall of Light, he arrived at the elevator and headed down.

When he stepped out of the alloy gate of the Fortified Defense Headquarters, the first thing that came into view was not the sky.

A pale blue membrane of light, shaped like an upside-down bowl, was visible on the ground.

The sun outside the membrane was shrouded in a thick, hazy yellow dust, and the light passing through the shield was only a cold, desolate gray-white, offering no warmth whatsoever.

The road surface underfoot is made of polished alloy plates. Office buildings and residential areas stand side by side, their exterior walls so clean that not a trace of rust can be found. Artificially cultivated dark green street trees are neatly arranged along the street.

People coming and going wore the company's uniforms, with their respective department logos embroidered on their chests, and walked briskly.

They would only stop and salute respectfully when they saw Li Xia, as the patrolling defense squad marched past in formation with energy rifles in hand.

It looks like an advanced technological world, but just a kilometer or two away, the world is completely different.

Further away, the high-rise apartments have been replaced by five- or six-story brick buildings with peeling, mottled walls that expose the rusted steel bars underneath.

If you look further ahead, even the small building disappears.

Instead, there were densely packed, layered tin shacks and crooked houses.
