Chapter 662

"Ah... in this situation, how should one choose..."

Asta kept sliding the screen, taking in file after file with black backgrounds and white text.

But the more she put herself into the O5 Council, the harder it was to make a decision.

She let out a soft breath and looked toward the direction of the "Department of Universal Phenomena."

—After Ms. Herta reformed it, the work focus of the entire space station had shifted recently.

Those newcomers might not be familiar with Herta's style, but Asta knew quite well that she did everything out of interest.

Now it's just letting the "Department of Universal Phenomena" draft a set of standard procedures for the discovery, containment, and research of curios, imitating the Foundation.

In the next step, it's hard to say whether she will form a department specializing in social sciences to discuss in detail which system is better when facing various containment objects.

Gathering her scattered thoughts slightly, Asta refocused her gaze on the Foundation's files.

Whether in the past, present, or future, the biggest problem the Foundation faces is the endless containment objects, and the corresponding endless apocalyptic crises.

Fighting the infinite with the finite.

No matter how you think about it, it feels desperate.

A moment later, Asta gave up on solving this problem.

How to come up with an answer that satisfies the vast majority of people is too difficult, too difficult.

But she did have some ideas on how to make the vast majority of people dissatisfied.

The starting point of both opposing sides is to maintain the survival of "humanity."

Then just promote the "Fifth Church" and promote the truth revealed by the "Fifth Starfish" that civilization must perish.

It's just that, what kind of means will O5-7 use to control the "Insurgency."

Making the agents who were originally loyal to the Foundation and loyal to the O5 Council willingly transform toward the "Chaos Insurgency."

【To all members of the "Insurgency":】

【The Overseer Council currently believes that there may be other anomalous phenomena behind the year ▇48 event, and the essence of "Containment Object-Laplace" has yet to be explored.】

【Current measures based on maintaining normalcy have not caused significant interference to "Containment Object-Laplace," so we infer that this anomaly may be hiding itself as part of normalcy.】

【From the current situation, the 17th "Paradox Insurance Information" highlights the disappearance of "possibility."】

【The measures we previously relied on for the Foundation to monitor human development may be promoting this dangerous possibility.】

【Therefore, the true effect of "Containment Object-Laplace" may be directed at the Foundation itself, and its characteristic is "causing things that are essentially non-anomalous to be viewed as anomalies and contained."】

【This is the most dangerous possibility: nothing happened in the year ▇48, and no ordinary scientific research institution independently discovered anomalous effects.】

【It is more likely that the effect of "Containment Object-Laplace" caused us to categorize some things that did not belong to anomalies into the category of anomalies.】

【In the name of the Overseer Council, I hereby request the psychology, sociology, and systems science departments to draw strength to conduct research on the essence of "Containment Object-Laplace."】

【The core of this project lies in exploring where the boundary between "normalcy" and "anomaly" lies.】

【The plans under this project are led by the Psychology Department and the Systems Science Department, respectively, and are named "Soul Project" and "Emergence Project."】

【The above content is absolutely confidential, and all related actions are limited to internal personnel of the "Insurgency" and O5-4 and O5-7.】

【—O5-7】

Looking at O5-7's circular letter, all the viewers felt a jolt in their spirits.

"Mommy?! It's started! It's started! O5-7 forged the O5 Council's instructions and directly controlled the 'Insurgency'!"

"As long as O5-7 can successfully persuade O5-4, the Foundation will have substantially split... celebrate the birth of the 'Chaos Insurgency'!"

"Don't mess around, the 'Chaos Insurgency' has also broken away from the Foundation on the surface; now the 'Insurgency' and the Foundation are still one family at the O5 Council level."

"However, O5-7's explanation for 'Laplace' is also enough to confuse the line of sight, and there is sufficient reason for the 'Insurgency' to study the risks he believes exist."

At the same time, the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou.

The "Luo Fu" Xianzhou—ever since she saw this giant ship with her own eyes, which looked like a planet on the outside and had a world of its own on the inside, March 7th had been full of interest in this cosmic wonder-like creation.

What was the technological level and economic level of the ancient country that could build the Xianzhou when they built it?

Where are they today? Where are they today? Have they ever sent envoys to search for the Xianzhou?

The Cloud Knights who traveled with them said that after finding immortality, the Xianzhou Alliance ushered in a real test—internal contradictions, external crises, the building was about to collapse.

In these dark years, the Xianzhou people lost the coordinates of their home planet.

After that, the home planet only existed in stories and legends, and the Xianzhou became a kite with a broken string, blown by the wind of stars, wandering in the Great Void, unable to find the direction home.

To this day, the "Yuque" Immortal Skyship is still looking for the way back to the home planet.

Incidentally, several Cloud Knights also told the origin of the name "Luo Fu":

"In legend, 'Luo Fu' Mountain is the 'Seventh Grotto-Heaven' of the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens, and the 'Thirty-Fourth Blessed Land' of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands."

While telling the story, that Cloud Knight turned into a commentator, and even the voice was stained with the heaviness of history.

This looked a bit strange, but if one considered the lifespan of the long-lived species, the real age of the Cloud Knight who was talking eloquently might have already broken a hundred.

Immortality, longevity, eternity... it makes people yearn for it.

"... There are seventy-two stone chambers, eighteen grotto-heavens, four hundred and thirty-two peaks, nine hundred and eighty waterfalls and flying springs in the mountain, and there were originally nine temples, eighteen monasteries, and twenty-two nunneries."

March 7th recalled the introduction of the locals while getting off the ship with Bai Xuan's support, and then picked up her camera to capture every moment.

As for the technique of sealing "space-time," the happy girl decided to hide it first; it would be in time to use it after the crisis was lifted and everything was stable—

The purpose of the "Stellaron Hunters" is unknown;

The person behind the scenes who sent the "Stellaron" into the Xianzhou has not been exposed;

The one who secretly guided the train into the cargo terminal doesn't look like a good person either;

And the "Mara-Struck"...

With various anomalies piled together, March 7th always felt that the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou was about to have a storm.

Looking around, she found that the Xianzhou was not under martial law, and there were only sporadic Cloud Knights serving as guards on the street.

"Stelle" was also supported by Bai Xuan as she got off the ship, her eyes full of curiosity, looking left and right, like a curious baby.

"Can't see any 'Stellaron' crisis at all."

Even though the Xianzhou closed the channels for starships to enter and exit, the prosperity of the "Central Starskiff Haven" did not diminish by half.

In the clouds, starskiffs of various shapes and sizes were like schools of flying fish, queuing up to dock in the port.

With the cooperation of various machines, dock workers skillfully loaded and unloaded cargo, maximizing the efficiency of every berth.

From the flow of starskiffs and the quantity and efficiency of loading and unloading cargo, it is not difficult to see that the commercialization degree of the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou is quite high—at least the "Central Starskiff Haven" is.

Bai Xuan also sighed:

"It's really prosperous."

The Xianzhou seen in the "Omniscient" state and the Xianzhou seen with "mortal eyes" have many differences.

Perhaps it is because his power is too strong, able to create the world with one thought and restart the universe.

No matter how great the creations of the human world are, no matter how dreamlike the prosperity of the human world is, they are not worth mentioning to divinity.

But for humans, magnificent buildings, huge starskiffs, and bustling markets are another scene.

"Tingyun" parked the starskiff and finally stepped onto the dock:

"Then, please allow this young lady to represent the 'Sky-Faring Commission' and welcome all benefactors to the 'Starskiff Haven'."

She walked to the front of the crowd, unfolded her folding fan, and smiled:

"On the 'Luo Fu' Xianzhou, all matters concerning airspace, navigation, and trade are managed by the 'Sky-Faring Commission,' which ranks among the Six Commissions."

"As the largest port, 'Starskiff Haven' is also under our governance."

March 7th put down her camera:

"As expected of... uh, whatever envoy, the aura is so strong when speaking."

"You flatter me. I am responsible for receiving merchants coming and going. I have to say these flowery polite phrases every few days."

"Ah, this."

"In short, it's safe here. I should have taken everyone for a tour and let this young lady fulfill the duties of a host." Tingyun's regret in her words could not be fake, but March 7th always felt that she was regretting something else.

"But in these extraordinary times, let's go to the 'Chancery' first and report your intentions to Lady Yukong."

"Chancery?"

"Tingyun" raised the exquisite folding fan in her hand, closed it with a 'swish,' and pointed to a quite conspicuous building.

"See that? The tallest building in the city... that is the headquarters of the 'Sky-Faring Commission'."

"Without further ado, let's go quickly."

Bai Xuan looked at "Tingyun":

【Therefore, the meaning of "normal" in the concept of normalcy itself implies the connotation of certainty.】
