Chapter 3139

Southern Continent, Gaman City.

"What did you say? The Western Continent is going to sink?"

In the luxurious bedroom, an old man got up from the bed. He was one of the actual controllers of the Southern Alliance.

"Yes, my lord."

A voice came from the shadows. After a moment, a bang sounded in the bedroom. The Western Continent was about to sink, and the Soul Crystals were given away for free.

The light in front of Su Xiao distorted. When his vision recovered, he was already standing on a stone platform, surrounded by numerous researchers wearing rubber bodysuits.

This was inside a huge warehouse with an area of several thousand square meters. The array on the central stone platform gradually dimmed. This was how the Eclipse organization transported Alliance soldiers to the front line.

Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Hunting Tide left the huge warehouse. After passing through a small forest path, they arrived at the southernmost side of Gaman City, where a large area of low buildings came into view.

The Institution's vehicles had been waiting for a long time. Su Xiao got into the car and headed straight for the Institution's headquarters.

When the vehicle stopped, Su Xiao saw the large pit in the headquarters courtyard. The area around the pit was covered with bloodstains and minced meat; several Transcendents had been hacked into pieces here.

Walking into the headquarters, Su Xiao saw debris everywhere, and there were wounded and medical personnel everywhere. Xianji had broken in by force and then killed her way out.

"Belock, besides S-005 escaping, what other losses are there?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Adjutant Belock said sternly:

"The losses in the containment vault are not large. The thief's target was the database. She stole some information on dangerous objects, including information on S-009, recent intelligence on S-109, S......"

"Wait, S-109? Eye of Gazing?"

Su Xiao recalled that it was because of this dangerous object that he entered this world. Previously, he had dealt with the Eye of Gazing in the real world, but he hadn't destroyed it. This dangerous object was sucked away by a space force, leaving only residual ash.

"Yes, my lord. A few days ago, someone discovered traces of S-109 on the Eastern Continent. People have already been sent to deal with it. As long as S-109's growth is curbed in the early stages, S-109's threat is not great."

Adjutant Belock handed over a file. Su Xiao scanned it roughly and walked toward the inside of the headquarters. He was going to enter the containment vault to see Dangerous Object S-001, which was named Listening to the World.

The origin of Dangerous Object S-001 (Listening to the World) could be traced back to the Kingdom Era; every era had the shadow of this thing.

In the Kingdom Era, Dangerous Object S-001 was a quill pen. By the Great Navigation Era, Dangerous Object S-001 changed into a compass. In the early days of the Alliance Era, Dangerous Object S-001 became a fountain pen.

To this day, with the advancement of technology, Dangerous Object S-001 has become an old-fashioned typewriter.

No matter in which era, Dangerous Object S-001 could foresee the future, sometimes with 100% accuracy, and sometimes 0%.

The way Dangerous Object S-001 foresees is that, in its rules, the future has infinite possibilities, and it can foresee one of them.

For example, an apple; if someone takes a bite, this apple will become nutrients in the human body.

But if no one picks it, this apple will rot under the tree, and the seeds will grow into a new apple tree.

These are two kinds of futures. Dangerous Object S-001 can foresee one of them. Once the foresight is successful, starting from a certain starting point, the subsequent scenes will be exactly the same as in the foresight. This is the terrifying part of Dangerous Object S-001.

Is Dangerous Object S-001 a treasure? The Athos family thought so at the time, so they actively used Dangerous Object S-001, and they began to tamper with their own future.

Everything came true. For example, a member of the Athos family wrote in the Kingdom Era that he would obtain 10 million gold coins in the future. As a result, he suddenly obtained 10 million gold coins. After that, except for these 10 million gold coins, every gold coin he earned subsequently would disappear into thin air.

This was more like an advance on the gold coins that could be obtained in the future. It seemed like nothing, but it was not. What if that Athos family member couldn't earn 10 million gold coins in his lifetime?

It was very simple: use one's own life and soul to make up for it. If one's own wasn't enough, use one's relatives'. If the relatives' wasn't enough, then overdraw the friends'. If the friends' wasn't enough, then overdraw the people around. If the people around weren't enough, then overdraw the people in the same world.

Everything has a price. Once, the moment someone tried to tamper with the future, all the residents of the city where they were located died instantly.

The land subsidence in Rugo City, the Doa massacre, and the meteorite fall incident—these tragedies of city destruction were all covering up the evil consequences brought about by someone using S-001 to tamper with the future.

Is it safe to use S-001 within limits? No!

There is no limit to the desires in the human heart. The moment one touches S-001, human desires will expand like bubbles, and eventually, this bubble will wrap the entire world in it.

In Su Xiao's view, S-001 has a limit; it can only affect this world and cannot affect other worlds.

Under this premise, S-001 is not an unsolvable existence, at least in Su Xiao's view. His method of dealing with S-001 is very simple: just don't touch or actively use it.

The elevator operated and descended to the bottom. After a slight vibration, it opened, and an iron-black metal passage appeared in front.

Su Xiao took a badge off his collar. With a click, the badge adhered to the wall on the side, and the chaotic energy fluctuations in front receded.

Passing the corner of the metal passage, Su Xiao saw a heavy metal table, behind which sat a gloomy man.

The gloomy man made a gesture to stand up. Su Xiao raised his hand, and the gloomy man nodded without saying much.

Passing four guard points and eight elevator doors, Su Xiao finally walked into the containment vault.

A floral fragrance wafted over, and sadness spread in the air. It was Dangerous Object S-, which was a plant and also a drama queen.

Ignoring S-, Su Xiao walked in the aisle. On both sides were metal doors, each with a label. The first basement level of the containment vault was all A-level dangerous objects, the second basement level was most S-level dangerous objects, and the third basement level was S-level dangerous objects with a sequence within 20.

Passing more than a dozen checkpoints, Su Xiao arrived at the third basement level. There were only twenty rooms here, most of which were empty. Arriving at the innermost side, 001 was printed on the metal door.

Su Xiao's hand pressed on the metal door, and white silk threads spread to his hand. After a moment, the metal door slowly rose.

This was a 5-meter by 5-meter room. Inside the room, except for the metal platform in the center and the old-fashioned typewriter on it, there was nothing.

Su Xiao walked to the metal platform and lit a cigarette to wait.

Click~

A crisp sound appeared inside the old-fashioned typewriter, which meant that Dangerous Object S-001 (Listening to the World) was activated. In this situation, there was no risk.

A fluctuation enveloped Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Hunting Tide. After a moment, several crisp sounds appeared, as if several invisible threads had been snapped.

S-001 could not probe the future of Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Hunting Tide because they were not people of this world. Consistent with Su Xiao's conjecture, S-001 was not omnipotent.

As if a thread extended to a very distant place, the bifurcation of this thread merged into Su Xiao's arm. S-001 was foreseeing the future of people related to Su Xiao.

The future foreseen by S-001 was just a possibility, not necessarily happening, or rather, it was one of infinite possibilities.

As the invisible thread tightened, it was as if an invisible hand began to tap the keys on the typewriter. The needles tapped one by one, a piece of parchment emerged from the roller, and the needles left characters on it.

The first line on the parchment had only a few words: "The fate of the deep sea, Gewei."

What S-001 foretold was a future of Colonel Gewei, who was someone who had interacted with Su Xiao.

"I am Gewei. If anyone finds this pressure-tight tank that floated up from the deep sea and sees this letter, you can take it as my last words and record. I have already been buried in the deep sea for the Empire. My life has had two glories: one was following Mr. Kuku Lin Bai Ye to expedition to the Western Continent, representing the Alliance to strangle that object of disaster; the second is this letter I left behind."

"I might... already be on the verge of madness, or I might already be crazy, but believe everything I have written. My will as an Imperial soldier has never yielded to those terrifying and vast things in the deep sea......"

At the same time, one kilometer away from the Institution's headquarters, on top of a building.

A woman wearing sportswear stood here. She used a rubber band to tie up her long hair. Judging from her gnashing expression, she was not in a good mood. She opened the World Communication Platform.

Juehai (Watchman Paradise): "A-level dangerous object handling event in York City, interested parties contact me, perception type preferred."

Guangmu (Holy Light Paradise): "Healing type, shall we cooperate?"

Juehai (Watchman Paradise): "Welcome."

Gask (Death Paradise): "Guangmu, has the Gaman City side been handled?"

Guangmu (Holy Light Paradise): "No~, I'm so stupid. York City and Gaman City are such good places, and I actually fought to the death on the Western Continent."

A large amount of news appeared in front of Black Rose. For some reason, she smiled very strangely. It was an expression that she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable herself, having 'good news' to share.

Black Rose (Reincarnation Paradise): "Everyone, let me tell you some 'good news': Bai Ye has returned to Gaman City, hahahahaha......"

【Remaining free speaking times for today: 1/3.】

As soon as this news from Black Rose was released, the communication platform, which had been very lively just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet. After a long time, a message appeared.

Guangmu (Holy Light Paradise): "I hate artillery shells."
