"The 'little sister' you are talking about is probably the only person in this world who knows how to activate the stabilizing anchor." Elaine said.

Cheng Rang touched his chin and said: "Indeed, Leticia said that after finding the anchor, she needed to bring it to her as soon as possible, but I can't imagine that after she got this thing,

What can you do, and did you miss someone? "

"That reality bender, does he also know how to activate the Scranton Reality Anchor?"

Elaine was silent for a while, "So I am talking about the only person in 'this world'."

Cheng Rang shook his finger and said, "When did I tell you that that little sister is from this world?"

"Could it be..."

"Yes, just like you thought, she is also from another world."

"Oh! I remembered! Wouldn't this be a big problem?!" Zabu suddenly slapped his head aside and shouted.

Cheng Rang asked: "What are you so surprised about again?"

"That witness! Witness!" Zabu reminded Cheng Rang, who looked impatient in front of him, and said: "That witness, he saw the appearance of the anchor, right?! But he was found dead today. ,and...."

"The look of death is extraordinary!" x2

Cheng Rang and Zabu pointed at each other in unison.

"This is a big problem... It's very possible that the reality warper has found the anchor." Cheng Rang thought for a while and asked Elaine, "If the reality warper has found the anchor, What will happen?"

Elaine's face was heavy, and she said slowly: "If an ordinary reality warper gets the anchor, they will most likely smash it into a pile of scrap metal. After all, this thing is the only item that can suppress their abilities."

"But what you mean is that he is obviously not an ordinary person." Cheng Rang said.

Elaine nodded: "He used to be a member of our research team... If he gets the stabilizing anchor and obtains some specific materials, it is possible to transform it into one that can enhance its reality distortion. Amplifier of ability.”

"How far can it go?" Cheng Rang asked.

"Level four...maybe it can touch the edge of level five." Elaine replied.

At this time, Cheng Rang recalled the first seller he met in the black market. The barter seller said... The only piece of Blick alloy in his hand was the only one left in the entire black market... Would that be possible? meeting......

"What materials are needed to modify the anchor?" Cheng Rang asked.

"I told you, you don't know..." But Elaine still replied: "It's the same as the materials used to make the anchor, with only a few differences."

"What about the materials needed to make the Hume Index measuring instrument?"

"It's almost the same...after all, these things all have the same origin and are related to measuring and modifying reality." Elaine watched as Cheng Rang took something out of thin air again. This time it was a stack full of words and illustrations. of paper.

"Are these things?" Cheng Rang handed the list to Elena, and then looking at her surprised expression, Cheng Rang was probably able to confirm that it was almost certain.

"Yes, although the name is different from what we call it there, these are all the materials needed to make the Hume Index measuring instrument. Where did you get this list?!" Elaine flipped through the list in her hand, Finally, he said: "It's almost all here, but if you need to modify the stabilizing anchor, you will need two more things."

"Which two?" Cheng Rang asked while calling Stephen.

"Making two special materials for power controllers and limit valves...."

"This is Stephen." The phone was connected at this time

Cheng Rang said: "Fantou, we have made an important discovery here, but first I want to ask, how is the collection of materials outside our group going?"

With Stephen's feedback on the phone, Cheng Rang's expression became more serious. He hung up the phone and found that both Elaine and Zabu were looking at him.

"As I expected, most of the materials on the market list have been snapped up recently."

Zabu opened his eyes wide: "That means..."

"That guy has found the anchor and started to transform it." Cheng Rang immediately walked out and greeted: "Follow me. I won't be able to explain it clearly on the phone for a while. Let's go find Leticia and Lei now." Oh them!"

Elaine and Zabu looked at each other and knew the seriousness of the current situation, so they jumped down from the chairs in front of the bar and followed quickly.

Chapter 123 Other methods

In the weapons store's preparation room, Stephen, Zabu, Elaine, Letitia, and Leo were sitting together, while Patrick and Nika were guarding the store counter.

"That's all I have to say."

Standing in front of everyone, Cheng Rang finished his information explanation and looked at Leticia, who was sitting next to Leo with an expressionless face.

"Anyone who knows..." Letitia said while looking at Elaine who was staring at her, "If the materials cannot be obtained, the measuring instrument cannot be made."

"Is there no other way?" Stephen asked.

"If it were the original situation, it would indeed be very difficult, but it's different now." Leticia sat on the chair, her tone still serious, "We have a second way to go, but the second way It may not be acceptable to everyone sitting here.”

Stephen leaned his upper body forward, supported his chin with his hand and said to Leticia: "Let's talk first."

Leticia closed her eyes, as if hesitating, and then slowly said: "I can use spells to find the reality warper using Miss Scranton as a medium... But this method is There’s a price.”

"So Leticia, what's the price?" Cheng Rang asked.

"Among all of us, she is the only one who comes from the same world as the reality warper. Do you know his name, Miss Scranton?" Leticia did not choose to answer Cheng Rang's question immediately, but asked Xiang Elaine stood aside.

She nodded and said a name: "Garfield Griffin."

"And Cheng also said before that Griffin and you were colleagues in the same research group, right?" Leticia then confirmed.

"Yes."

"Then it's no problem." Letitia nodded and said, "The price is that Miss Scranton may die."

Elaine was very calm about the price Letitia said. She only asked: "What is the success rate?"

"One hundred percent." Letitia replied.

"Why might he die?" Stephen asked.

Leticia stood up from her chair, waving her hands with golden threads to form two humanoid outlines in mid-air. She explained: "The specific theories and principles are too complicated, and you won't understand them even if I explain them. To use an analogy, It uses a principle similar to quantum entanglement to connect the two people, so that the two people become a theoretical whole, so that no matter where they are or what they are doing, they can know clearly."

Half of the two human-shaped silhouettes drawn by thin golden lines in mid-air turned into tiny points of light, merging with each other.

"If they are two normal people, there is basically nothing wrong with doing this. But Griffin, the reality warper, has a very high Hume value. If they are connected in this way, it will definitely cause harm to Miss Scranton. Make an impact.”

"It's like putting a cup of concentrated salt water and a cup of clean water together. Although there is a barrier (mental, physical) in between, due to osmosis, the low-concentration solution will pass through the semi-permeable membrane into the high-concentration solution... ..”

"Clear water and concentrated salt water are equivalent to the Hume value of Miss Scranton and the Hume value of Griffin."

"Her reality will be forcibly deprived of the past. In the worst case, it will collapse itself and disappear completely."

One of the golden humanoids turned into a point of light and dissipated, completely absorbed by the other humanoid.

"That's it." Letitia finished her explanation, waved her hand again to dissipate the explanation icon in the air, and sat back down.

"You just said that the worst case scenario is this, what about the better scenario?" Zabu, who was sitting on the side with his hands in his pockets, asked.

"The best case scenario is to become a half-human, half-ghost being who can only live with the Scranton Anchor for the rest of his life." Letitia replied.

"I accept." Elaine said as she stood up.

"You will die if you don't think about it anymore, Miss Scranton!" Leo was puzzled that Elaine could accept this price so calmly, "Maybe there are other ways."

"If there are other methods, another issue to consider is time, Leo." Letitia said: "Maybe you don't clearly understand what will happen if a reality warper that may reach level five appears in this city. All I can tell you is it’s going to be really bad.”

"But no matter how bad things get, don't we still have Senior Cheng... He is very strong, isn't he? As long as we can find the reality warper through other means, our probability of winning is still very high, not to mention me. s eyes....."

"Leo." Cheng Rang raised his hand to interrupt Leo, who was about to continue speaking, and said, "Reality Warpers are not as easy to solve as you think."

“Imagine you play a single-player game with plug-ins enabled. Even if it’s the strongest boss in the game, you only need to press a few keys to turn it into the feeling of someone helping you fight monsters, and the reality warper is here. He doesn't even need to press the keyboard, he just needs an idea." Cheng Rang snapped his fingers, "and he can turn the boss in front of him into his own."

"My attack range is limited. No matter how long it is, it is at least within the field of vision of species like humans." Cheng Rang said: "If he hasn't successfully transformed the anchor to level four or higher, I can give him a surprise. But only if we can find him.”

Elaine continued: "Yes, if I were Garfield, it would be impossible for me to show up after obtaining the materials without transforming the anchor and promoting it to level four or above. Although a level three reality warper fights head-on, His ability is not too outrageous, but if he just wants to prevent others from finding him, it is basically impossible for anyone to find him. Maybe even if you know his appearance and meet him face to face, there will be no such person. This is the person I'm looking for."

Leo clenched his fists and remained silent for a moment with an unwilling expression on his face, and then said: "But even so, I cannot accept that a few innocent people must be sacrificed in order to save the majority of people, because... because... ....."

The back of Mary Macbeth appeared in Leo's mind. She seemed to be tied to the huge city by countless chains. She would never be able to leave the city, and it was even difficult to get out of the hospital.

And his sister, Michela.

Facing that helplessness

When understanding exists: "If you want to take it away, take it from me!"

So she said.

...

Leo leaned down weakly and supported his forehead with his hands:

"I cannot accept the stupid idea of ​​sacrificing yourself to save others!"

"I agree..." Stephen sat on the chair and said solemnly.

But when Leo raised his head and was about to look at Stephen opposite with a smile, he said: "I agree with Miss Scranton's choice."

"Mr. Stephen!"

"We have no other choice, Leo." Stephen's eyes were cold, "What we have to consider is this city, this world, and thousands of other families and people."

"But...."

"How long will the ceremony take, Miss Letitia?" Stephen stood up and asked, ignoring Leo who looked a little pale.

"As long as you all decide, it can be completed immediately." Leticia replied.

Chapter 124: The Cause of the Accident and the Infatuated Person

Time: few days ago

Location: A confidential research facility

The white corridor full of technology was very quiet, and the crisp sound of high heels falling rhythmically came from the corner at the end of the corridor.

On the corridor wall, printed in bold black font: Site-120, which seems to be the number represented by this building, because the same text can be seen on the bifurcated walls of every corridor.

drop!

The high heels stopped in front of a mechanical airtight door. As a short buzzer sounded, the red lock panel display changed to green, and the door opened in response.

"Level 3 personnel identity verification passed, welcome, Dr. Elaine Scranton."

Putting the identification card back in her breast pocket, Elaine walked into the door holding a tablet.

This room is about 8 meters long and wide, and the light source comes from the ceiling that is lit up in one piece. Although the white light projected from the ceiling is very bright, it is soft and does not appear dazzling.

A prison-like observation window divides the room into two. Four unidentified circular devices marked SRB are installed on the walls at the four corners of the room.

There was a large console in the observation room that Elaine entered, which was marked with the words: Scranton Reality Anchor Console.

Elaine put the tablet on the side of the console, lit up the huge screen in front of her, and after checking the various complex parameters displayed on it, she looked up through the glass at the male figure locked in the transparent room. .

"How have you been, Garfield?" He grabbed the tablet and clicked on the screen a few times. Elaine's voice sounded through the speaker in the room opposite.

The man lying on the white bed looks to be in his early thirties. His upper body is bare and his hard and strong muscle lines can make those young girls blush and their hearts beat. Above the high bridge of his nose is a pair of charming blue eyes, matching He has dark brown unruly curly hair. Although he is a little depressed now and has an unshaven beard, at first glance he is still a handsome guy with full temperament.

His lower body was only wearing a pair of orange baggy trousers that looked like a hospital gown, and they didn't even have pockets.

Listening to the female voice coming from the loudspeaker, Garfield turned over on the bed and looked behind him - there was a whole gray wall made of cement, but his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the past and stared at the wall. , as if there was something on the other side.

The expression on Elaine's face showed a hint of heartache and unbearability as the man lying on the bed looked in her direction, but then it disappeared.

"You should call me by my number, Dr. Scranton." Garfield's voice entered Elaine's ears from the speaker in the observation room.

"You know I wouldn't call you that."

"But this is against the rules, my eldest lady." The man's tone was helpless.

"It's just the two of us here now, who cares about those things."

The words "Locked" were displayed on the external display of the mechanical airtight door when Elaine entered. Now no one can enter this containment room without their consent.

"Okay, that's up to you." Garfield sat up from the bed.

Before Elaine could speak on the other side of the wall, the man spoke in advance and choked back what Elaine was about to say: "If you still come to ask me those boring questions today, just skip this step, my The answer is the same."

Click!

With a soft sound, the cement wall Garfield faced became transparent, allowing him to clearly see Elaine's figure on the other side through the transparent wall.

"Why are you obsessed with things that are simply impossible to achieve?" Elaine asked, "If you continue, your mental stage will be assessed as Stage 4, and you will be executed by them! Garfield!"

"So what?" Garfield raised his lips, "From the moment Freya was sent away by them, the ending was doomed."

"How many times have I said that Fulia volunteered!" Elaine was obviously a little emotional after hearing the name from Garfield's mouth. "You can't blame her death on the actions of the Foundation... We are for"
