Chapter 244

Sorry, a friend's depression suddenly showed signs of worsening, which took up a lot of time, so the word count today is a bit low.

It shouldn't be some kind of "Leviathan," right...

Welt Yang adjusted the frame of his glasses, smoothed out the unease in his heart, and speculated.

Himeko, who was also gazing at the distant universe, had no fluctuations in her state of mind; after observing for a while, she reached a conclusion.

"It seems it is a lifeless existence."

"Hmm, that's good. The last time I saw a creature in space was outside the Herta Space Station, seeing the Doomsday Beast... I just hope this whale is really just a whale."

Welt Yang lowered his guard, preparing to watch this lonely big guy fly into the distance.

"Sigh, few of the containment objects exposed by the Foundation recently are simple... So, where did this signal come from? Did the residents of Belobog repair an ancient radio station?"

Pom-Pom listened to the two's analysis, still holding the telescope, gazing through the optical lens at the ice sculpture drifting in the sea of stars.

It always felt that it wasn't something normal.

Unless a crab were to adopt a whale and raise her to adulthood.

The absurdity of the two is about the same.

But that whale still didn't react, as if it were truly a frozen corpse, its eye sockets empty, reflecting the deep space of the universe, unable to see the nearby Astral Express.

What exactly is that? Pom-Pom subconsciously looked at the light screen that had only just gone dark.

In the black screen, white text emerged again, but it was not the intersecting files.

【Foundation Top 100 Containment Objects Inventory!】

【Rank 90: Containment-2146, Space Whale!】

"It really is a containment object, Pom!" Pom-Pom turned its head to remind the other two, "Himeko, Welt, that is 'Containment-2146', let's take a look."

"... hope it is not divinity, nor supreme divinity."

Welt Yang looked up, his expression weary.

"Where do so many containment objects pop out from..."

I saw that on the screen, the file for "Containment-2146" was slowly unfolding.

【Containment Object: Space Whale】

【Item Number: Containment-2146】

【Danger Level: Euclid】

Seeing the first three lines of text, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

When was the last time I saw such a plain and unadorned containment object?

It does not belong to reality benders, does not belong to divinity, does not belong to supreme divinity, and at the same time has no strange labels.

It is just a plain and unremarkable containment object.

Perhaps it has terrifying or even horrific power, enough to become the inspiration for a horror movie.

Perhaps it can cause some strange phenomenon, bringing an experience beyond common sense.

But compared to other containment objects, it appears plain, unadorned, and even harmless.

"Thank heavens, this is not a reality bender, not divinity, and certainly not supreme divinity."

"Finally, I don't have to worry about the universe facing doomsday."

"After seeing so much divinity and supreme divinity, I suddenly have an illusion that this containment object is nothing more than this... Even though I understand that with my small stature, I might not even last a moment in front of a containment object, I still have this feeling."

"This feeling is not uncommon; if you have strolled through shopping malls and seen the sales staff in those luxury stores, your understanding of this will go a step further."

"What do you mean?"

"... n short, they might not have much money, but because luxury goods give them a certain special status, they mistakenly believe they are the owners of luxury goods and can look down on those poor brothers."

"Does this count as a version of 'I have a buddy/I have a friend'?"

"..."

"Ha—ah~"

Miss Miss Qingque yawned and stretched.

"Finally finished, containment objects aren't something that must be entered into the archives, now I can probably take a break."

At this moment, she suddenly couldn't continue speaking.

In the corner that her peripheral vision could see, Fu Bai Xuan, the Diviner, was silently calculating, her golden eyes shining brightly in the corner.

She's going to eat someone!

Only then did Miss Miss Qingque realize that she had made slacking off a habit; as long as the work at hand was finished, she considered it the end of the workday.

As for the work that had been paused and she didn't know how to proceed with, it was all thrown into the trash heap called "the past."

From the moment the Diviner came to supervise her work in person, the relaxed and happy "Celestial Jade" time had left her.

The time she had left today could only be poured entirely into the endless daily routine of the Divination Commission, and she hadn't worked like this for a long time.

The gaze of observation came from behind, making her back feel cold.

Finally, the Diviner just turned around, stepped lightly over the threshold, and left perfectly and elegantly.

Miss Miss Qingque?

She had quietly put away her "Celestial Jade" heart, lurking in her work, waiting for the Diviner's next moment of relaxation.

【Special Containment Procedures:】

【Before the "Stellaron" fell and the Jarilo-VI civilization collapsed, "Containment-2146" was disguised as "DDUSAT-12", recorded as a faulty communication satellite owned by "United Defense Design", a holding company of the Foundation's front company "Standard Communications".】

【Personnel who discover "Containment-2146" will be administered Class-B amnestics, or disposed of according to the specific situation.】

This is indeed the method the Foundation would adopt—putting a normal shell over an anomalous existence.

Once the public opinion storm caused by "Containment-2146" dissipates, only a few people will remain convinced that there is a whale floating in the sky.

The rest of the people will probably forget about this, or when they think of it in the future, repeat some clichés.

Asta thought to herself.

Just as she was slightly distracted, a Herta puppet walked to her side and sighed:

"Should I say as expected of the Foundation?"

"The means of concealing information outside the home planet are always so consistent."

"Ms. Herta." Asta turned around and looked at this genius who was always busy.

Herta: "Hmph, I asked a few friends to investigate the files related to Jarilo-VI, and I really found some clues."

Asta laughed dumbly, not expecting Ms. Herta to be so serious about this.

However, this should also be by using the company's connections to retrieve some long-sealed files.

Perhaps since they were sealed, no one would have thought they would be unsealed in the future.

"Found some projects with abnormal capital flows, hmm, and some cargo records that appeared out of thin air, thanks to the long passage of time, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to catch the Foundation's tail."

Herta handed the tablet to Asta, presenting the footprints and fossils left by the Foundation to this young lady who had received relevant education since childhood.

"Regrettably, we have no means of reverse tracking; apart from the visible Dr. Bright, we still know nothing about the rest of the Foundation."

"Including the space channel that opened just now, several organizations observed the space ripples, but gained nothing."

Herta waved her hand, seeming a bit regretful, but also seeming not to care much about it.

Even if they really found the Foundation's main base, so what?

Visit proactively? Or rely on the fleet to engage in free trade?

In the galaxy, few civilizations that have been passed down to this day have such stubborn people.

Daring to confront a powerful organization that can contain divinity.

"However, we can use these traces to try to find those containment objects of the Foundation that have not yet been exposed."

Ms. Herta took back the tablet and ordered indifferently.

【Description:】

【"Containment-2146" is the frozen corpse of an adult right whale, about 17. meters long, gender unknown, statistically estimated to be more likely female.】

【"Containment-2146" is of unknown origin; the Foundation has not found any records related to whale corpses or live whales in all files of launched or transported cargo.】

【"Containment-2146" broadcasts a radio signal outward every 30 days, designated as "Containment-2146-1".】

【These broadcasts last from 2. to 18 minutes. It is currently unknown how "Containment-2146" sends these broadcasts; no traces of any transmitting equipment were found on "Containment-2146" during telescope observations.】

【The content of "Containment-2146-1" includes the following types: documentaries, science fiction dramas, children's programs, and songs or poems.】

【These broadcasts only have audio tracks, and each time an entity (designated as "Containment-2146-2") appears to narrate, perform, or sing the content of "Containment-2146-1".】
