Chapter 610: A Two-for-One Containment Plan
Chapter 610: A Two-for-One Containment Plan
"Really, it's not complete? What's missing?" Qin Muye found that his Ghost Realm Selection still had the word 'residual' attached to it. He had already taken the Ghost Realm Selection from all the main characters, so how could it be incomplete?
"This means that the Ghost Realm hasn't released all the Ghost Realm Selections. Otherwise, how could it be missing?"
Qin Muye immediately suspected the Ghost Realm. What else could it be?
"Based on the current quantity, it seems to be missing about two to be complete."
"Wait, could they be in the real world?"
He recalled the latest convenience store model. Under normal circumstances, the Ghost Convenience Store could actually be opened in the real world, as the sales targets for incense, candles, and paper money were humans. Since the store couldn't move, the standard sales model actually involved both the Ghost Realm and the real world.
Now it seemed that while the convenience store might be in the Ghost Realm, its projection into the real world allowed it to gather resources directly.
Therefore, the remaining two Ghost Realm Selections were actually not in the Ghost Realm, but in the real world, where they were also serving as store managers.
Qin Muye had obtained the Ghost Realm Selection talent in this manner, but his method of acquisition was different, leading to the discrepancy that kept him in the Ghost Realm.
Otherwise, if he had taken a normal job, he would have been in the real world.
"I can't possibly go to the real world to look for them, that would be completely unrealistic."
The Ghost Realm might be vast, but compared to the real world, it was still much smaller. After transforming his RV into a fighter jet, collecting the Ghost Realm Selection talent became very quick.
"Going back is out of the question. The World Defenders Organization hasn't left yet, and it wouldn't be good for me to return now. What if there's a misunderstanding and we end up fighting again?"
"However, there is a way to solve this."
Although the remaining Ghost Realm Selection main characters were in the real world, their roots were still in the Ghost Realm. Qin Muye just needed to find the corresponding nodes to pull them back.
After all, they were all dependent on the Ghost Realm.
Of course, if he couldn't find them, it wouldn't be a problem. Qin Muye estimated that the Ghost Realm wouldn't last much longer. When the time came, he could either pull the convenience stores back to restore its strength or abandon them.
In either case, the remaining two portions of the Ghost Realm Selection would eventually return to Qin Muye.
Qin Muye could see that the World Defenders Organization was beginning to tighten their net. The Ghost Realm was no match for them. Just today, while collecting the Ghost Realm Selection talent fragments, he noticed the Ghost Realm shrinking, its area reduced by at least ten times. He didn't know how the World Defenders Organization managed to do it.
It felt like they had opened a massive wound on the Ghost Realm, letting it bleed out in a controlled manner to weaken it to the point of immobility.
"It seems we'll know what the World Defenders Organization is planning soon." Qin Muye was very puzzled. He didn't understand why Dr. Ma had sent him to the Ghost Realm; it didn't make sense.
Who would send one bomb to deal with another bomb, without fear of both bombs exploding and causing even worse consequences?
Unless they were really confident.
However, Qin Muye didn't know what that confidence was based on.
He could only be certain that there was indeed a plan targeting him, and it was being implemented.
Otherwise, how could they not have investigated his disappearance? He had initially been part of a special task force, and after losing contact, the others would have reported it immediately. Qin Muye could sense that they were aware of the situation but didn't seem worried at all.
It seemed intentional.
"It can't be that they're planning to use the Ghost Realm as my prison, that plan is a bit too crude." Qin Muye knew the probability of that was low.
Throughout, he hadn't shown much threat and seemed more like an ordinary person. Theoretically, they shouldn't have any suspicions about him.
Unfortunately, theory and reality often differ.
He hadn't planned to go on a killing spree and even thought that if they really locked him up somewhere, it might be a good thing. It would mean he could safely pass the time without succumbing to his own impulsiveness.
Qin Muye cruised around for a while, flying his fighter jet in the sky, when he saw an old acquaintance.
It wasn't one of the Ghost Realm main characters, but the special task force that had entered with him. They seemed to have completed their mission but had somehow managed to remain in the Ghost Realm.
Previously, he had encountered two other special task forces, each with a Ghost Realm main character, who were presumably rescued as part of the victims. This was part of the special task forces' mission, and they were not just following the Ghost Realm main characters but also many other genuine victims.
After a brief interaction, Qin Muye had taken the talent from the Ghost Realm main characters. The special task forces recognized Qin Muye, given that he was an anomaly. Dr. Ma had certainly informed the various task forces of his presence, ensuring there would be no misunderstandings or hostility.
After the interaction, Qin Muye left, and the special task force did not stop him, seemingly indifferent.
Perhaps only the task force that had entered with him would be concerned.
"Should I go and meet them?" Qin Muye wondered if he could gather any useful information from them.
After all, he hadn't found the nodes yet, and he had some free time. These nodes weren't easy to locate.
But ultimately, he decided not to approach them. The reason was simple: he didn't want to complicate matters.
There was no real benefit in approaching them, as they were surrounded by many survivors rescued from the derivative anomalies.
Since he decided not to interact, Qin Muye continued on his way, flying past them. He then looked at the radar on his fighter jet, which had just picked up two new light points.
"They're back. It looks like the Ghost Realm is at its end. I need to act quickly before the World Defenders Organization takes the initiative."
He was somewhat relieved that he hadn't approached the special task force earlier; otherwise, things might have become complicated.
The return of these two Ghost Realm main characters to the Ghost Realm indicated that the Ghost Realm was beyond saving, becoming increasingly desolate and malnourished-looking.
"By tonight at the latest, the World Defenders Organization will begin their full-scale operation," Qin Muye estimated the time and accelerated toward one of the Ghost Realm main characters.
Dr. Ma looked at the 3D map on his hand, which displayed the entire scene of the Ghost Realm.
"This Son of Hades really doesn't rest for a moment," Dr. Ma couldn't help but smile.
While he couldn't locate Qin Muye directly, he could track the fighter jet transformed from Qin Muye's RV. Combined with the information gathered by the special task forces, he had a rough idea of Qin Muye's activities. Although he didn't know exactly what Qin Muye was doing, he was certain it wasn't just for fun.
"Doctor, the time is ripe. Should we initiate the containment procedure?" the supervisor asked.
"Yes, have Dr. Long prepare. After all, the Anomaly·Dragon Vein is an Omega-level anomaly, capable of suppressing the Anomaly·Ghost Realm," Dr. Ma's gaze fell on the ground, but there was nothing there.
"Should we also contain the Anomaly·Lord? If they are within the Anomaly·Ghost Realm, they will be contained within the Anomaly·Dragon Vein as well," the supervisor hesitated before speaking.
Dr. Ma looked at the 3D map of the Ghost Realm and said, "Contain them. They are not a Beta-level Anomaly·Lord but an Omega-level Anomaly·Abyssal Will."
"An Omega-level?" The supervisor was surprised. Although the Anomaly·Lord seemed harmless, he did not question Dr. Ma, guessing that it might be due to the secrets Dr. Ma had uncovered from the Omega-level Anomaly·World Crystal.
The World Crystal looked like an ordinary crystal ball, with an infinite ocean inside, recording information about all anomalies. The higher the level, the less information it recorded. Currently, the full extent of the Omega-level anomaly's threat was not fully understood, but it was certain that each inquiry caused a slight deviation in civilization.
For example, changes in social norms, aesthetics, and various other issues. Fortunately, these deviations were generally minor and could be corrected if detected and adjusted in time. However, these adjustments required guiding the entire civilization, and even a slight deviation could be a significant change for ordinary people.
