Lin Xu stood up from the hovercraft in a flash.
He came to the window and looked out.
Everything outside has not changed, it is still the archipelago composed of countless small islands.
But Lin Xu clearly felt in the high dimension that this place no longer belonged to the previous space, and even the flow of time had undergone subtle changes.
Time is diverted here.
Of course, non-high-dimensional existence cannot feel it, because the passage of time here is no different from the passage of time in the outside world. There will be no situation where only one minute has passed outside after staying here for a day.
But time finally split here, and here and outside are already two different time and spaces.
It's like the long river of time branches into a small branch. Even if the flow rate is the same, it is still a different branch.
With this kind of barrier of time and space, it's no wonder that when Lin Xu was outside, not only the nanorobots couldn't break in, but even the high-dimensional perspective couldn't penetrate the barrier of time and space and see what was going on here.
And now as he entered the unique time and space of the archipelago, Lin Xu's perspective in high dimensions finally saw the large number of objects contained in this unique time and space.
"We're here." The hovercraft stopped on a small island, and Raman, a considerate man, stepped off the hovercraft first.
Lin Xu and others also followed.
But compared to the calmness of Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu and Lu Yao, Anna seemed more wary.
After all, compared to everyone who is an expert and bold person, Anna, who is just an ordinary detective, is really a bit weak at the moment.
"Are they here?" In a certain room, in a video conference that was going on all the time, the screen representing a certain congressman was dark, with only the ripples of sound passing through.
"We're here, the action can begin."
"Agreed, the action begins."
So, the order was issued, and various departments that had been prepared began to take action.
At the same time, Lin Xu, who was on the tarmac of the island, asked Raman, a considerate man walking in front.
"Where is the containment area?"
"There's no rush. Now that we're here, let's meet the congressmen first." Raman signaled to continue walking forward.
Lin Xu smiled and was noncommittal.
Soon, the group came to a closed building.
It looks like a palace on the outside, but more like a prison on the inside.
The further you go in, the more densely packed the defense measures become.
The thick reinforced concrete is several meters thick and cannot be exploded by artillery shells.
Lin Xu and the others stepped through the thick steel doors. Anna became more and more nervous and excited, and even started to flush a little.
She just liked this kind of excitement, so she chose the profession of detective and this kind of life, going deep into danger countless times.
Finally, under the guidance of Raman, several people entered a room made entirely of reinforced concrete several meters thick. In the room, there was only a long table, several chairs, and a row of monitors. There was also a cloaked figure sitting on the main seat.
"Are we here?" Lin Xu looked at Raman who was leading the way, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"We're here, the congressmen are already waiting for you." Raman's voice suddenly became hoarse for some reason.
The next moment, as if receiving some kind of signal, dense snowflakes flashed across a row of monitors.
But behind the monitor, the voices of the congressmen did not appear.
For a moment, in the gloomy and dark reinforced concrete room, there was a row of monitors flashing with snowflakes, and a figure sitting on the main seat, covered by a cloak.
Everything is enveloped in a horror movie atmosphere.
"Pretend to be a ghost." Nan Zhu muttered.
"It seems that the congressmen don't want to talk. What about you, can you still talk?" Lin Xu looked at the monitor with snowflakes still flashing on the screen and smiled.
"What do you mean?" Raman's voice became hoarse.
Lin Xu shook his head, reached out and pushed Raman gently.
With a bang, Raman's whole body fell to the ground and fell into a pile of porcelain shards.
"What's going on? He's not a real person?" Anna immediately squatted down to check, her detective's eyes sparkling. She had never seen such a thing like a living person turned into pieces of porcelain on the ground.
"Originally, yes, but I don't know when it was switched in the middle." Lin Xu replied.
"Didn't you notice it too?" Anna asked.
"I discovered it after the change occurred, but at the moment when the change occurred, there is no clue as to how the change occurred. This should be the ability of some kind of contained object." Mu Xiyue replied.
"Wait, you noticed it? Why didn't I notice it?" Nan Zhu's fox eyes widened in an instant, staring at Mu Xiyue.
"Because you are stupid." Mu Xiyue replied calmly.
"Am I stupid? I'm the leader." Nan Zhu quit immediately.
The Fairy Fox clan was already known for their strategies, and her dignified leader was said to be stupid. If the situation wasn't right now, she would definitely have a fight with Mu Xiyue through force.
"Your attention is on Lin Xu, so it's normal that you didn't notice." Lu Yao on the side tried to smooth things over and persuaded.
"I don't, I just pay 80% of my attention to Mr. Lin Xu, not all of it." Nan Zhu disagreed.
Mu Xiyue just glanced at her and was too lazy to talk to her.
At this time, I don't know if the porcelain man who fell to the ground disturbed the figure sitting there, and the figure under the cloak moved.
He just stood up slowly as if he had just woken up from sleep, and at the same time the cloak rolled off his body.
Anna immediately saw clearly that it was a person whose face was entirely composed of three black holes.
The moment she saw the three black holes on the man's face, Anna seemed to be attracted and fell into a state of being unable to move.
Immediately, the faceless man with only three black holes on his face seemed to be frightened when he saw someone.
His hands immediately pinched his neck, and his palms tightened hard.
You can even see the veins from exerting force on your palms.
So Ana's hands also tightened her neck, and her palms pressed hard at the same time.
At the same time, on another island nearby, in a closed containment room, there was a human-shaped porcelain, with ripples suddenly appearing on its surface.
Then Raman's figure appeared, replacing the original porcelain.
Breathing heavily, Raman checked his whole body and found that he was fine.
But he can't leave here yet.
Because he has only exchanged bodies with the contained porcelain man. If the two parties cannot exchange their bodies back within twenty-four hours, he will completely lose his body and be dead.
Of course, his body, which has been turned into porcelain, will be fine even if it is broken, as long as it is glued together.
But the premise is that his body turned into porcelain can still be found.
However, he was not worried about this and broke into the foundation base camp. Raman had no idea that those few people could last for twenty-four hours.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, he could not leave the holding room within these twenty-four hours.
"Hey, Raman, do you want something to drink? We can bring it in for you." A voice outside the containment room asked.
"No, thank you. Now I just want to know how it is over there." Raman asked after thanking him.
"It should have already started. Don't worry. It is a terrifying level of containment. It once caused people in the entire city to commit suicide. The foundation paid a huge price to contain him." The voice outside the containment room said with emotion.
"Is that faceless man so powerful? Can't he just let people who see him imitate his movements?" someone asked in surprise.
"I don't understand this, newcomer, he doesn't just ask people who see him to imitate his actions, but as long as someone imitates his actions, a meme will be formed. Anyone who sees someone imitating his actions will also To follow the imitation, you don't need to see him directly, just see the person imitating him." The voice explained.
"In this way, as long as he makes a suicidal action in the city center, others will immediately imitate him. At the same time, even if people further away cannot see him, they will follow suit when they see people imitating him. This kind of diffusion is , wouldn’t it soon spread to the entire city?”
"That's how scary he is. Fortunately, he was discovered early, otherwise it wouldn't be just a city." The voice at the beginning said with emotion.
Raman had heard all these conversations, and he was no stranger to the Faceless Man, because he was a newcomer when the Faceless Man was taken in, and he even participated in the original containment plan.
He will never forget that more than half of his team committed suicide.
It was precisely because he knew the horror of these contained objects that he did not think that Lin Xu and others would have a chance to survive.
At the same time, I am not worried at all that my body will not be recovered.
Anna just felt that she couldn't control herself at all. She would do whatever the faceless man did, and she couldn't breathe immediately with the force of her hands.
If nothing else, she will soon crush herself to death.
Is this a contained object? It's really weird.
This ability is simply unreasonable and goes against common sense.
How are they?
Ana rolled her eyes hard and looked to the side.
Then I saw Lin Xu standing next to him with the old god's presence.
Miss Qiu placed her hands on her lower abdomen, maintaining a perfect maid posture.
Mu Xiyue was on guard around her, while Nan Zhu and Lu Yao were surrounding her, seemingly trying to figure out why she was suddenly pinching herself like crazy.
"Are you okay?" Anna wanted to ask, but the sound she made was just a loud friction sound coming from the remaining gap in the trachea.
"Master Lin Xu, what should she do?" Nan Zhu asked Lin Xu.
Nan Zhu is still very close to Anna, a temporary companion who has been with her day and night for several days.
"It's very simple, just block it." Lin Xu said, taking a step forward and standing between Anna and the faceless man.
Suddenly, Anna, who lost the figure of the faceless man in front of her eyes, immediately let go of her hands.
He started panting violently.
"Why are you okay?" Anna asked in confusion.
"Well, just think that we have special physiques!" Nan Zhu said with a smile.
She couldn't tell her that it was because Lin Xu was a high-dimensional creature and they were high-dimensional dependents.
It's like being immune to the information impact caused by chaotic energy.
As human dependents, they have sufficient resistance to high-dimensional interference.
Not to mention the high-dimensional interference ability of the Faceless Man, placed in high dimensions, it is just a drizzle, how could it have any effect on them.
At this time, Lin Xu had already stepped forward, came to the faceless man, and looked at him curiously.
The faceless man, who always kept his posture of squeezing his neck, with black hole-like eyes, seemed to glance at Lin Xu quietly, as if he was also thinking, why did this man not follow his actions at all?
Then the next moment, the faceless man let go of his hands, and with a strong force, he broke his neck with a bang.
The broken neck hung on his head against the flesh, and the faceless man's black hole-like eyes seemed to be still accusing Lin Xu, why don't you learn from me? This is not normal.
"If his neck is broken, can he still put it back on?" Lin Xu was a little curious.
"Master, do you need to treat him?" Miss Qiu came forward and said.
"I don't know if his body structure is the same as that of a normal person." Lin Xu looked at the faceless man as if he were a guinea pig.
But the faceless man's eyes still seemed to be accusing, after all, I am also a terror-level containment object, you can't humiliate me like this.
In the end, the faceless man was taken into the earth in the portable space by Lin Xu and temporarily locked up.
Lin Xu was not willing to kill such an interesting little guinea pig right away.
Because the memetic infection of the faceless man is not just through watching reality, even if it is just watching video images, it will also trigger the memetic infection.
Therefore, the concrete pouring room where the faceless man was placed was not equipped with a monitor, but only a listening device.
And now through the eavesdropping device, people from the Foundation already knew that Lin Xu and others were not affected by the faceless man.
As for Lin Xu taking away the faceless man, they wouldn't know without a monitor.
"How is that possible, how could they be immune to memes?"
"Is there something wrong with the placement of the faceless man? His cloak was not opened and no one saw his face?"
"Some people have been affected just now. Didn't you hear? It's just that not everyone has been affected. What is going on?"
Yeah, no one knows what happened.
All they knew was that the next moment there was a loud bang, and the room made of reinforced concrete was directly penetrated by Mu Xiyue's sword. The thick sword energy extended outwards and penetrated the defenses one after another. Every place was several meters wide. The reinforced concrete protection extends outside the building.
Even Lin Xu and the others could see the sunshine outside when they looked out from the center.
"Put it in. Put it in immediately. They can't escape. Hurry." The agents of the Foundation became anxious.
On the remaining islands, a large number of Foundation members were ready to go.
Soon, just as Lin Xu and the others followed the passage opened by Mu Xiyue's sword and walked out of the building.
A helicopter passed by in the sky, and a figure descending on a parachute blocked the path of Lin Xu and others.
"Are you also a protected object?" Lin Xu looked at him curiously. This figure looked like an ordinary person no matter how he looked.
"No, I'm an agent of the Foundation. I'm here to play a game with you." The man who claimed to be an agent smiled and opened the box in his hand.
"Game?" Lin Xu was confused.
"Yes, a dice game. There is a dice here. You bet on a part of your body for a duel. Whoever rolls the dice with the highest points wins. The loser loses part of his body, and the winner gets a spare organ." The agent explained .
"Spare organ? What do you mean?" Lin Xu was confused.
"That is to say, if we play a game on the heart, if I lose, I will lose my heart. If you win, the next time your heart is fatally injured, it will instantly recover as before." The agent explained the rules.
This is also one of the guidelines for using this contained object. After all, the gambling game cannot begin until the rules are clearly explained.
"This is very interesting, but why should I bet with you?" Lin Xu said with a smile.
"I will pay double the chips to force the gambling game. You can't refuse." The agent smiled.
"But I have to refuse." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Then the bet will force you to lose, do you still want to refuse? The chips I paid are all my internal organs. If you are sentenced to lose, you will lose half of your internal organs, and you will also die." The agent was sure of Lin Xu would not refuse.
However, the next moment, when the agent was about to pick up the dice in the box and roll the dice, he suddenly found that the dice began to change into various colors.
The agent's expression changed.
"You actually refused?"
Then his expression turned ecstatic again.
"Then you can die. It seems that the credit belongs to me. I never thought that there would be such a stupid person in this world."
However, the next moment, the agent realized something was wrong.
Because Lin Xu was still standing there intact, but the colors on the dice became more and more colorful.
Until finally, without any sound, the dice disappeared.
With the annihilation of the dice, the agent who just wanted to force Lin Xu to participate in the gambling game only felt a light weight on his body, and then something was missing in his stomach.
"What's going on? Why have all my internal organs disappeared? You obviously refused the bet, so where did the dice go?" The agent fell to the ground with confusion on his face.
"It's just a backlash. If you want to take something from me, with its ability, it is inevitable that it will be destroyed." Lin Xu said lightly, not surprised.
At that moment, the high-dimensional information entangled in the dice wanted to interfere with Lin Xu in a high-dimensional way.
It feels like an ancient computer from decades ago trying to understand and invade modern supercomputers. It would be weird if it doesn't burn itself out.
The dice disappear and the agent dies.
This caused another stir among the foundation.
More importantly, this time they observed that the dice was not hidden by Lin Xu, but disappeared. A real contained object disappeared from the world.
Such an incredible sight made all the foundation members watching this scene, from the bottom to the top, all fall silent.
"I propose that the headquarters' containment objects be evacuated immediately. The containment objects must not fall into the hands of this person."
"I think we should open the destruction-level containment and completely eliminate the detonators and maids. They are too dangerous."
"But activating a destruction-level containment object will be even more dangerous. If you are not careful, the entire world will be destroyed."
"If this continues, won't it be dangerous when the destruction-level containment object falls into his hands?"
There was a lot of quarrel among the MPs, and no one could convince anyone for a while.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, stayed on the island and did not move towards the other islands. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, as if feeling something.
"What is he doing?"
"I don't know, but this might be the last chance."
"Try it, destruction-level containment object."
"agree."
"agree."
"Abstain."
"Abstain."
In the end, seven votes agreed and four abstained, and the proposal to use destruction-level containment objects was finally passed with difficulty.
"Master, have you found it?" Miss Qiu asked.
"Found it, it is indeed here." Lin Xu let out a sigh of relief. This was not the longest time he had spent searching for ruins, but it felt like the most tortuous process.
In fact, as early as when he entered this time and space that was different from the outside world, Lin Xu had already begun to release a large number of nanorobots.
Everything he did just now was nothing more than waiting for the nanorobots to spread and finding something interesting to do to pass the time.
Finally, without any sound, nanorobots have spread all over this space full of islands.
Lin Xu's consciousness filled the space through nanorobots, and finally discovered the entrance to the subspace anchored on the planet.
Not far away is an island located in the middle of many islands.
And it is also on that island that there is the largest number of contained objects.
Lin Xu even doubted whether it was the Foundation that had also contained the entrance to the subspace of human ruins as some kind of containment object.
"Let's go, let's go there." Now that he had found it, Lin Xu didn't want to waste any time and got up and flew towards that side.
The rest, Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu, Lu Yao and others naturally followed immediately, and Nan Zhu didn't forget to bring Anna with him.
It’s just that I haven’t waited for a few people to fly far.
Suddenly, a ray of light rose from a distance, and the direction in which the light rose was exactly the direction that several people were planning to go.
That is, among the many small islands, the one with the largest collection of storage objects is located.
"Master, what is that?" Miss Qiu asked puzzled, because she also noticed an uneasy feeling from that burst of light.
It can make Miss Qiu feel uneasy, and the degree of danger can be imagined.
Mu Xiyue immediately stopped in front of Lin Xu and became alert.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Lin Xu patted Mu Xiyue on the shoulder and comforted her.
At the same time, he was also observing the position represented by the light from a high-dimensional perspective.
In high dimensions, this light is also the brightest among many high-dimensional information entanglement points.
So Lin Xu understood.
The foundation is dying.
