Chapter 570

If the Administrator's theory and cognition are both correct, the "Black Moon" will undoubtedly create an apocalypse, an apocalypse that affects the entire reality universe.

At first, in the entire universe, only one unlucky person every ten years or so will become a victim of this apocalypse, and this accidental death will not cause panic.

Even if people know that there is a supreme divinity like the "Black Moon" that will randomly pick lucky ones and annihilate them, they won't care much, and will classify this victim as an unlucky person.

Until one day, when people wake up from their dreams and find that the whole world has become empty, as if there are no survivors left, they will feel panic.

It's their turn.

……

On the screen, the containment file continued to unfold.

[It is currently impossible to determine whether "Containment-001" has true intelligent attributes, or whether its behavioral performance is merely driven by an unconscious, purposeless powerful force.]

[According to multiple historical and prehistoric intelligence reports collected, "Containment-001" cannot act when directly observed.]

[However, the authenticity of this intelligence remains to be verified—so far, in the listed events, there has not been a single case that can confirm its success.]

[In addition, given that "Containment-001" does not reside in a conventional reality dimension, and its activities exhibit remote control characteristics, direct observation of it under current conditions is truly difficult to achieve.]

[If the Administrator's hypothesis is accurate, leaving "Containment-001" to act may pose a potential threat to overall reality, so the "Oromasdes Project" has been approved for execution.]

[The content of the "Oromasdes Project" is:]

[Deliberately creating and modifying anomaly projects to support the containment and neutralization of "Containment-001."]

……

The containment file display was completed.

Just when the audience thought it was the Foundation's turn to tell how the "Administrator" led all members of the Foundation to fight against the supreme divinity named "Black Moon" and save the universe.

They saw a new containment file slowly unfold.

And when people saw the name of this containment file, they couldn't help but be stunned.

[File update time - 11/04/1991]

[Containment: Administrator]

[Item Number: Containment-001-Cage]

[Danger Level: Thaumiel]

[Classification: Human (Doubtful)]

[Special Containment Procedures:]

[According to the agreement during the construction of the existing Foundation structure and mission statement, "Containment-001-Cage" will be imprisoned in Site-01 all day long.]

[Security personnel will continuously accompany "Containment-001-Cage" to ensure the agreement is observed, and are authorized to use sedatives to subdue "Containment-001-Cage" if he attempts to leave.]

[All research conducted by "Containment-001-Cage" on "Containment-001" will be carried out on the fourth floor of Site-01, assisted by a team of privately selected researchers.]

[Any external communication required for research will be carried out in remote form or through indirect media.]

[Containment measures will be changed after the completion of the Conceptual Bunker (SCB).]

……

"?"

"???"

Question marks, a full screen of question marks floated by.

"Administrator: You guys are so powerful, then I'll leave?"

"O5 Council: The Administrator has replied to our request for him to appoint us as the new Administrator. — Actually not allowed! He must be worried that our power will exceed his control. Red Right Hand, we order you to lock the Administrator in the containment room."

"Funny, funny to death, the Administrator is contained by the Foundation, how could I have such a dream?"

"That Overseer Council beat the Administrator to the ground, locked him in the containment room, and injected him with sedatives; they must be making him work hard!"

"I've seen many royal families overthrown by ministers and nobles in galactic history, but I've never seen a founding emperor overthrown by his own council."

"Learned something, learned something."

"No wonder the 'Administrator' wants to ascend to a supreme divinity; even if the O5 Council has a rebellious heart, they don't have the strength to overthrow the 'Administrator.' Funny!"

"Case solved, the 'Administrator' is really a comedian."

……

[Project Description:]

["Containment-001-Cage" is a human male, referred to as the "Administrator" in most official Foundation records.]

[In fact, the specific age of "Containment-001-Cage" is unknown, but it is believed to be far greater than most known human civilizations.]

[During his containment, "Containment-001-Cage" did not show aging beyond his original appearance.]

[There is no way to permanently injure or disable "Containment-001-Cage"; all wounds inflicted on his body will recover after exactly four seconds, regardless of the severity.]

[Sedatives have been proven to be effective to a certain extent; "Containment-001-Cage" will briefly lose consciousness after the sedative leaves his body system.]

[When asked about his immortality and invulnerability, "Containment-001-Cage" once claimed that this was because he was designated as the "Balance" — the entity responsible for hunting down "Containment-001."]

[According to "Containment-001-Cage," the designation of "Balance" can be passed on to others, but he refused to pass it on to other Foundation members to prove this.]

["Containment-001-Cage" is the original founder of the Foundation; he convened the first O5 Council and provided intelligence on multiple anomaly projects he collected during the pre-Foundation period.]

[In exchange for obeying containment and providing the aforementioned intelligence, necessary resources will be provided to "Containment-001-Cage" to research "Containment-001" and methods to contain or neutralize it.]

"Everything seems to make sense, but upon closer inspection, there always seems to be an unavoidable question — why contain the Administrator?"

"Maybe the Foundation at this time, except for the Administrator, is really all ordinary people? Although the Administrator is one of the initiators and founders of the Foundation, he still has to obey the Foundation's philosophy and regulations, so he was contained?"

"If this is really the case, the Administrator is too much of a clear stream among all kinds of high-level officials."

"And... the Foundation really treats the Administrator as a containment object... They even gave the Administrator all kinds of tests... For this, I can only admire. ~"

"A little curious, how was the Administrator's immortality tested? Did the Overseer Council really intend to execute the Administrator?"

"Administrator: If you don't become supreme, you will always be an ant! Today I ascend to a supreme divinity, and there is no one in this world who can defy me!"

"So envious, I also want to lock the Administrator in a small dark room and torture him little by little."

"Tone it down..."

……

Amidst the audience's discussion, the "Administrator's" containment file slowly faded, and new text slowly unfolded.

[Since the establishment of the Foundation in ██ year, "Containment-001-Cage" has regularly accepted interviews from O5 Council members.]

[The purpose of this interview is to confirm the mental state of "Containment-001-Cage" and his research efficiency on "Containment-001."]

Foundation Site-01, containment room.

Retro decoration style, horseshoe-legged furniture, has the tone of an older aristocratic society; that nostalgic mahogany wall clock, the second hand is crisp and pleasant every time it moves, not at all like a cage.

At this time, the door opened, and an old man with East Asian features walked in slowly, leaning on a cane.

His temples and eyebrows were all white, he looked about sixty years old, spirited, and not hunched.

But considering that there are many containment objects with magical effects in the Foundation, some are simply called "Fountain of Youth," and his true age is unknown.

On this matter, the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people have the most say.

Some people look like children, but are actually decades old;

Some people look like lazy young people, but are actually nearly a thousand years old, entering the high-incidence age of Mara-Struck;

Others look like octogenarians, but are actually young people under a hundred.

The old man walked into the living room slowly, but found a young man with a thin face and a monocle on his right eye sitting on the sofa early, seemingly waiting for his arrival.

His eyes were clear, but not the innocence that had not been polluted by knowledge, but the return to simplicity after seeing all the forms of sentient beings in the world and walking through the mountains and rivers of the world, with all filth settled at the bottom.

The old man took off his hat and bowed slowly: "Good morning, Administrator."

"Good morning," the Administrator greeted him.

"Thank you for your cooperation," the old man said.

He walked slowly to the sofa opposite the Administrator and sat down slowly, like a rusty gate.

Then, he placed the briefcase tucked under his arm on the coffee table between the sofas, unzipped it, and took out a notebook, a fountain pen, an envelope, a tape recorder, and a cassette tape.

The Administrator drank coffee while watching him prepare for work with great interest.

The old man put the cassette tape into the tape recorder, pressed the record button, and said:

"Okay, we are recording. Are you ready to start?"

"Damn, it's really magical." The Administrator put down the coffee cup in his hand and examined the silver-white shell square device repeatedly.

"I've really started to like recording equipment recently, you know? It's so convenient."

"So..." The old man didn't answer; his fingertips slid across the paper, checking the order of items.

A moment later, he opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper printed with text and smelling of ink.

"We'll start as usual — 'Memory Test'."
