Chapter 279 Foundation

At night, in an apartment of only about 80 square meters in "The World of Ghost Stories".

Abner, Hugh, Edwina and Felina gathered together to summarize the information they obtained while exploring the "Black Cat Playground" during the day.

——Since the world is limited in area, land is at a premium, and an 80-square-meter apartment is considered a quite large house.

“Generally speaking, those ‘fragmented’ ‘inner worlds’ are actually the ‘spiritual world’ corresponding to this hidden space.

"It's just that, unlike the abstract and uninterpretable spiritual world we know, the 'inner world' here appears to be more orderly, like a reflection of a certain area of ​​the 'outer world'.

"This must have been achieved by someone forcibly 'defining' and borrowing the power of the 'Ghost Empire' itself..."

Abner recounted the results of his observations and pointed out the root cause of this "world's" disaster:

"I'm afraid it's 'the two worlds merge and return to chaos'...

"The main body of the 'Ghost Empire' is the former 'Doomsday Witch' Monica, which is also in line with her own symbol."

After listening to Abner's analysis, Xiu said thoughtfully: "Is it Emperor Russell's definition of the 'other world'?

"Is he doing this to delay the trend of 'integration of the two worlds'?

"But this method is just 'slow death' and cannot solve the root cause of the 'disaster'."

Abner nodded and agreed with her idea: "I also think it was Russell's handiwork... I just don't know what caused the 'fusion of two worlds'. Even Russell, who was already an angel at that time, Nothing can be done.”

"Perhaps if we find the items Russell left behind in this world, we will have clues...

"In addition, you can also ask the people in power in this world. Since they can come up with those powerful 'Code of Weird Stories', they obviously know some inside information." Xio is also a senior agent of "MI9", so he immediately gave Several plans were proposed.

"However, we don't know where Russell's leftover items are... we don't even know who the actual person in power here is! In my character's memory, although the mayor is elected every few years, that's just a matter of time. The manager on the surface will definitely not be the actual person in charge behind the scenes." Mrs. Felina raised an objection.

In response to her doubts, Xio borrowed Edwina's cell phone and pulled up the previous news about the "250th Anniversary Celebration of the Birth of Saint Russell".

——Since the technological level of this world is only that of Abner's previous life in the early 2000s, the 2G network has just been developed, and the apartment is relatively far from the base station, so it took a while for the web page to pop up.

Xio pointed to the pictures on the webpage and analyzed: "If it were normal, it would take a lot of effort to search, but tomorrow happens to be the birthday celebration of Emperor Russell!

"According to the memories I got from my 'character', such celebrations used to be held every ten years, but recently they have become more frequent, and in recent years they have been held every year...

"I guess the celebration is just a cover-up, and the people in power in this world should use it to hold some kind of ceremony to maintain the power of the items left behind by Russell.

"So, I guess that during the celebration tomorrow, both Russell's items and the people behind this world will appear!"

Hearing this, Edwina and Felina both nodded after thinking for a moment, thinking that Xio's speculation was reasonable.

Abner, on the other hand, thought of the churches across the northern continent and felt that those in power in this world might be gathering "faith" to replenish the power of the items left behind by Russell.

After all, there are no gods in this world. As a "sage", Russell, who enlightens wisdom and brings civilization, is naturally worshiped by the people.

Next, the four of them perfected their plans for tomorrow's action, and then took a rest after washing up.

…

At a sewer entrance on the edge of the city, a team wearing special combat uniforms filed down, mumbling something, and tapping on a step on the ladder from time to time.

However, the next moment, the ladder seemed to extend infinitely, and suddenly it became impossible to see the end.

But the team did not panic and climbed up again. After climbing for more than ten minutes, their eyes suddenly opened up and they entered an open "wilderness".

This is like an "inner world", but there are a lot of wheat and vegetables grown inside, which makes it look full of life.

"Every time I see these crops, I feel that there is still hope for mankind. We will eventually defeat the 'doomsday'..." A member of the combat team muttered to himself as he looked at the wheat field.

But after hearing this, the team leader's face suddenly changed, and he said seriously: "B-level combatant Robin, I suggest you go for a psychological intervention immediately after the handover of this mission.

"You have to understand that in the face of 'monsters from the other world', any 'weakness' and 'despair' may be exploited."

The team member's face froze when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, I'm just complaining, is it unnecessary?"

"No, your spirit is already very dangerous and your emotions are serious. It can easily become the nourishment for the growth of the 'other world'!" The captain glanced at him, "Don't think I am alarmist. Almost half of the combat teams I have led have People die for this reason.”

"Okay, after the report, I will conduct a psychological intervention." The team member shrugged and said.

After that, the combat team fell into silence again until they walked through the wheat fields and came to the door of an old castle.

"Restrict", "Protect, "Observe"... According to the regulations, they stared at the line of words written by Saint Russell himself above the gate for three minutes. Then the combat team entered the castle and soon came to the mission hall on the first floor. .

An old man with white beard and hair was already waiting here.

"Your Excellency, Speaker, we have completed the first exploration of the new 'inner world' in the City's Third Hospital. This is the exploration briefing..."

The captain first saluted, then took out a floppy disk and handed it to the old man.

"Thank you for your hard work... But you can't rest yet... D-class personnel just reported that there have been changes in the 'Black Cat Playground'...

"You have half an hour to prepare, and then set off to find out the cause." The old man said seriously after taking the floppy disk.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The captain stood at attention and saluted again, and then led the team members out of the mission hall.

Then, he ordered his subordinates: "Twenty minutes of free time. Meet at the door on time at eleven o'clock."

After saying that, the captain looked at B-class team member Robin again, "You can go for psychological intervention five minutes later than them, so you have enough time."

"Yes, Captain!" Robin promised, but the moment he lowered his head, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

…

On the other side, after reading the contents of the floppy disk, the old man with white hair and beard couldn't help but sigh: "The invasion of the 'other world' is becoming more and more frequent...'circumventing the rules' is becoming more and more difficult.

“If this continues, it will be difficult for the foundation to hide it from the general public.

“Fortunately, the time of the ‘prophecy’ is coming.

"I just don't know if the person who successfully sealed the monster in the 'Black Cat Playground' will be the new 'saint' in the 'prophecy'?"
