Chapter 718 Pandora's Box

When everyone returned to the canyon, there was no canyon here.

The original Gobi scenery had long been wiped out, leaving only a huge earth pit, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

In the sky, the clouds in the sky were broken into countless pieces, each one like scales, and like the broken ice fields in the Arctic.

"Where is the mist?" Everyone was surprised to find that the mist that was supposed to cover the canyon was gone.

It would be fine if the canyon was wiped out, but why is the mist gone? That's the entrance!

"The entrance was swallowed up?" Canaan said in surprise.

Kelon shook his head and said, "No, the entrance is still here, don't get close to that area."

He quickly marked an area, which was still the entrance to the Horror Valley, but now the canyon is gone and the fog is gone.

It looks like an ordinary Gobi, with no special signs at all.

"When Taotie was taken away, its absolute swallowing effect within one meter swallowed up the special environment that should have been at the entrance of the Horror Valley." Kelon explained.

Sometimes, there will be some special marks in an abnormal area.

For example, here, there is always a fog that does not disperse.

But this does not mean that this fog is the main body of the Uncanny Valley. It is just a small derivative, a thing called "fog that cannot be dispelled".

This characteristic is not as absolute as the core characteristic of the Uncanny Valley. Taotie was taken away by the core characteristic of the Uncanny Valley, but at the same time, it also eliminated the secondary characteristic of the Uncanny Valley: the fog that does not disperse with "absolute devouring".

Sometimes, the characteristics of the containment object are changed.

Just like Taotie, even if it becomes a pig, it is still a pig that can devour everything.

Similarly, this area has changed its shape now, and it is still the entrance to the Uncanny Valley, but it is not visible now.

It's like a door, now even the door frame and the facade have been removed, but this is still the "door", even if there is nothing.

This is a very common situation in the containment world.

"Enclose this place, build a military base, and report to the Pentagon." Kelon said.

"Yes!"

Everyone was beaming with joy. Taotie was solved.

Although he was not killed, he was at least sent to a place where he could never return.

Kelong could not sense whether there was civilization in that time and space, but he knew that it was definitely not a natural world.

Even if there was life, it was probably only the five gods trapped inside who were still alive.

Let the five gods and demons fight and love with Taotie.

"Ahem..." Kelong's face was extremely gray. After panting violently for a while, he was helped to rest in the car.

Mo Qiong looked at him and found that he could not even stand up, and his eyes were gray like a dead person.

There must be something wrong with his body. As a Taoist, Kelong must have paid a price to die soon.

After the medical staff on the side checked him, they stood aside and waited for orders. There was no further treatment at all, as if it was unnecessary.

Kelong smiled slightly and said, "Moqiong, you are very curious, what is wrong with my body?"

Moqiong didn't speak, and Kelong didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.

Kelong smiled and said, "I am the containment measure of Pandora's Box. In order to suppress it, I must endure disease, hunger... and death."

Pandora's Box, of course, is the code name obtained by the Blue and White Society. It has nothing to do with mythology. It is just a small pottery jar, one inch high.

It can create all disasters except the containment.

This kind of disaster is divided into two types, one is imposed on the universe, and the other is imposed on the civilization of the holder.

The holder can decide which one to impose the released disaster on. If there is no holder, then the default is the universe.

A cosmic disaster may be a dark energy tear, vacuum decay, or all black holes suddenly erupt in reverse.

It is speculated that before Pandora's Box was picked up, it had released a cosmic disaster.

It's just that I don't know where it happened. It hasn't affected the solar system yet, and it may be very far away from humans.

But... after taking it in, the Blue and White Society considered again and again and decided to let their own civilization bear it.

Because even if a cosmic disaster may not affect the earth for a while, once it does, it will be a catastrophe.

This time may be a hundred years, a thousand years... but it may be the day after tomorrow.

The disaster of human civilization is not comparable to the disaster at the cosmic level, and the Blue and White Society must choose this way.

Its effect is random, and a disaster will appear every year.

If it is an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a meteorite impact, a tsunami or a hurricane, then these will happen naturally.

As for the plague, it goes without saying that a highly contagious virus or some unprecedented new terminal illness will definitely appear.

The more you resist and stop the disaster from happening, the more it will be forced to appear. If you resist and suppress it later, it will appear out of thin air...

It is better to let nature take its course, so that there will be a short gestation period, and the disaster will occur in a particularly natural form.

However, unlike the doomsday equation, human beings independently create disasters, which also counts. Perhaps the containment object determines that civilization itself is also a source of disaster creation.

The holder knows which one has escaped and to what extent it needs to happen.

So the initial containment measures were very simple. If a tsunami was to break out, the Blue and White Society would immediately notify the Global Council and ask a certain country to make preparations.

Then, through technology or a certain containment object, the tsunami would hit a certain place, where the Blue and White Society had already prepared people to block and carry out disaster relief work.

In this way, the disaster could be kept under control and would not cause serious consequences, and it would be quelled.

The same is true for other disasters. Meteorites could be artificially created to fall, or a new virus could be actively released, and then an antidote could be developed quickly.

These methods could minimize the losses caused by Pandora's Box.

It is better than a disaster randomly appearing in an unprepared place. Instead of doing so, it is better to fight against oneself. At least humans are prepared and can even resist.

Disasters must happen, but they do not necessarily destroy many people and things. The casualties of disasters depend on human resistance.

In ancient times, typhoons would kill people, but now, typhoons mostly only cause property losses.

Therefore, the early containment method was to use this kind of "fraud".

For a long time, the Blue and White Society was "dealing with it", self-harming in a way that gave the shelter some face.

Until one day... the disaster called "death" appeared.

Even "dealing with it" by executing a few people was useless, because a few deaths were not a disaster. Even without it, humans were dying every day and every minute.

So the manifestation of the disaster of "death" is the continuous negative population growth...

The sharp rise in the death rate of humans is a disaster.

There is no way to stop this effect. The more you curb death, the more people will die. Even if you continue to create new life, the more children you have, the more people will die.

This is a forced increase in the mortality level. Civilization will continue to grow negatively, and the population will eventually drop to zero!

This is Pandora's Box, the most absolute and terrifying power.

Unless the object of Pandora's Box is transferred.

"Death cannot be dealt with, so the strategy must be changed and suppressed by the expounder... But... how did you do it? Can it choose to bear the disaster by you alone?" Mo Qiong asked.

He did not suggest throwing the containment into another universe, because there must be civilization in any universe.

Even if we find a universe without civilization, there is still the disaster of "death". Who knows where the pottery jar will go after the universe dies?

Kelong smiled and said, "Of course, we cannot choose to bear the cost by individuals, but I am special. I am a human body universe."

"In my lymphatic system, a golden Staphylococcus civilization is developing."
