The owner of this voice was the local branch president of the Council, and when Wang Wu heard his voice, he unconsciously straightened his back.
"Don't worry, we'll send the video over to you right away."
As Deep Divers of the Council, they had dealt with countless pollution incidents, so stealing video from the security room was a piece of cake.
Arriving at the security room, Wang Wu simply plugged his phone into the computer storing surveillance videos using a data cable, and then left it alone.
Headquarters would handle it themselves... Council Modu Branch.
Inside a Transfinite-level containment room, several figures with grave expressions stood.
Leading them was a Middle-aged man, his figure tall and upright, filled with righteousness. Although he looked only about 40 years old, his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
"Chairman Qian, the surveillance video has been received. Do you need to open it now?"
A technician beside the Middle-aged man asked.
Hearing this, the Middle-aged man suddenly hesitated.
For some reason, he always felt that the Transfinite-level containment room seemed a bit insecure.
However, even if the Transfinite-level was insecure, the Middle-aged man had no way to find a higher-level containment room.
After all, Transfinite-level was already the highest-level containment room. As for beyond Transfinite, that was the End.
To date, the Council still did not have the ability to create a containment room that could restrain End-level pollution.
Therefore, even though he felt uneasy, Qian Zhenzhong had no other choice.
He could only watch.
If the pollution in that place was not End-level, then everything would be fine, but once the pollution there had End characteristics... it would already be the End, and safety would no longer be meaningful.
When the End arrived, everyone would be finished.
What's more, Qian Zhenzhong was not entirely unprepared.
He had a very special ability, simply put, it was the premonition of death.
Qian Zhenzhong could foresee his own death in advance and take effective measures to avoid it before it happened.
Currently, although Qian Zhenzhong felt a little uneasy, he did not have that feeling of the power of death descending.
Therefore, after a brief hesitation, he ordered everyone around him to put on pollution protection suits, and then opened the surveillance video.
Current night vision technology is extremely advanced; there is little difference between night and day.
The technician dragged the progress bar a few times and quickly found the segment where Lin You stripped away the Sorrow... "Hmm?"
Lin You, who was sitting in the back of the taxi scrolling through short videos, suddenly felt a strange sensation. He frowned slightly.
Lin You felt as if a part of his information had been separated and was being watched by others.
This feeling was very strange, more like a sudden inspiration.
Putting down his phone, Lin You closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
Then, as if enlightened, he suddenly opened his eyes, a golden light flashed slightly in his left eye, and a phantom image appeared before him.
...Council Modu Branch.
Under the gaze of Qian Zhenzhong and the others, Lin You's figure in the video suddenly flickered, as if it had lost frames.
Then, a scene that terrified everyone in the containment room appeared.
The figure in the video suddenly deviated from its original path. He turned around, faced the people in the containment room, frowned slightly, and stared intently at the peeping observers.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on the backs of everyone in the containment room. Even Qian Zhenzhong, who had seen much, had a layer of imperceptible cold sweat on his forehead at this moment... Lin You frowned, looking at the somewhat illusory room before him, feeling a little puzzled.
What's wrong with these people?
Why can I see them?
As Lin You was pondering, the driver in the front row also noticed Lin You's left eye through the rearview mirror.
"Oh, young man, where did you buy your colored contacts? They look really cool."
"Can you send me the link? I'll buy a pair for my daughter who likes to cosplay sometime."
Hearing the driver's words, Lin You blinked.
These were not colored contacts, so how could he get a link for the driver?
So, Lin You pretended to fiddle with his phone a few times, showed the driver a defunct online store, and told him that the store had already closed down.
In response, the driver only expressed a bit of regret and didn't say much more.
When Lin You wanted to refocus his attention on the image before him, he noticed that the previous scene had disappeared at some point... "President..."
"That... that person just now..."
Looking at the somewhat nervous technicians around him, Qian Zhenzhong straightened his back and said sternly:
"That was just a coincidence. Don't take it to heart."
"But..."
"I said, it was just a coincidence."
Qian Zhenzhong's tone was very strict, even a little stiff.
Although everyone present knew very well what they had just seen, as their leader, Qian Zhenzhong still needed to offer some comfort to everyone.
Even if it was just psychological comfort.
Many terrifying existences take root in the hearts of intelligent beings. The more you fear It, the more trouble It will bring you.
Therefore, Qian Zhenzhong's firm attitude at this moment was actually a good thing for everyone.
At least they all respected this President and trusted his words.
Since the President said it was just a coincidence, then let's temporarily treat it as a coincidence... "Everyone, you may disperse."
"Oh, right, everyone's mental exhaustion was too great just now. Before leaving the containment room, let's do a cognitive pollution test first."
"And do one for me too."
...Qian Zhenzhong: Cognitive Entropy Value 53% ± 2, normal.
Lu Chuxue: Cognitive Entropy Value 22% ± 1, normal.
Li Hua: Cognitive Entropy Value 20% ± 1, normal.
Wang...
After testing, everyone's cognitive entropy value was still within the normal range. The extra one or two points were merely due to excessive tension and would subside once they calmed down.
Although the members of the Council still felt uneasy, they dared not dwell on it. Afterwards, they forced themselves to forget about the incident and went about their respective tasks.
As soon as Qian Zhenzhong emerged from the containment room, a clear voice echoed in his ears:
"Within the bounds of rationality, the only known existences capable of freely entering and exiting Transfinite containment rooms are 'all-knowing and almighty' and 'God'."
"And just now, the Monument revealed information about a new containment object, named... Crying Doll, and its location is over there with you."
"This is clearly not a method that an existence within the bounds of rationality would use."
Hearing the voice that entered his ears, Qian Zhenzhong couldn't help but show a wry smile.
"So, It is very likely from the Deep Layer Domain, right?"
"Don't worry too much. Based on the currently known information, Its self-perception is still just that of a 'mortal'."
"As long as Its self-perception doesn't change, everything is controllable."
"Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about something else."
The clear voice paused for a moment, then sighed, with a hint of weariness in its tone.
"The Angler has appeared. The information on the Monument indicates that he is also over there with you. You need to be prepared."
"You'll have to put in more effort recently. I can only come over to help you after I've dealt with my own matters here."
Qian Zhenzhong detected the weariness in the other party's voice. Compared to him, the Modu Branch President, the General President of the Council was truly busy.
Most of his time was spent running around the universe, almost never stopping.
