Chapter 851: The Upside-Down World
The blocked secret war, the small invasion force, the internal security department...
Berogo followed the guidance of the etheric line and returned to the void block. He sat on the steps, his mind caught in a storm due to overthinking.
Overthinking often makes Berogo exhausted and even anxious, but at some important moments, overthinking is like a skill, allowing Berogo to quickly integrate the existing information and weave a story that is close to the truth.
After the Order Bureau gave up exploring the ruins area, a group of monsters imitating the staff were born in the ruins area. They not only imitated the appearance of the staff, but also imitated their daily behavior and even the organizational framework of the entire Order Bureau, so that this "Order Bureau" existing in the ruins area is still running in this weird way.
Here, these weird staff also developed their own history, a unique but wrong history.
In the cognition of these staff, Overlord Xilin was blocked outside before he stepped into the reclamation room, so the Order Bureau easily won the secret war, but in the days that followed, the King's Secret Sword was still trying to invade the reclamation room, sending out small forces one after another.
Thinking of this, Blogo couldn't help but connect the small forces in their cognition with the previous exploration team of the Order Bureau. According to official records, the previous expedition team also encountered a group of strange monsters in the ruins area. They thought that some monsters in the containment area had escaped... Perhaps that was the predecessor of these staff members.
"What happened to a group of monsters... cognitive distortion?"
Blogo couldn't help but doubt, and then he was extremely shocked by his own idea.
Among the many terrible crises recorded, there is an extraordinary disaster called the Upside Down World.
Compared with other extraordinary disasters, the Upside Down World does not have any large-scale killing, and usually it covers a small area. According to the records, at least only one person was affected by the Upside Down World, and the scale was expanded, and at most a few hundred people.
As an extremely unique extraordinary disaster, the Upside Down World has many ways to trigger it, but they are all related to cognitive distortion. After all, this is the essence of the Upside Down World.
Blogo whispered, "The world in my eyes is completely distorted and unrecognizable."
In Blogo's view, this is not so much an extraordinary disaster as it is an individual and group phenomenon caused by the impact of cognition.
All people in the inverted world will have their perception of the world completely reversed. This may sound insignificant, but in fact, those affected will fall into complete confusion and despair.
Bologo has seen such an example in the records. When someone woke up one day, he found that he had turned into an insect. Looking at himself in the mirror, he was in great pain and even tried to commit suicide by self-mutilation. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still an ordinary person without any abnormality.
There are also large-scale examples of inverted worlds, where the entire village has suffered cognitive distortion. All visitors from the outside world are a group of terrifying monsters in their eyes. For this reason, they believe that the world has perished and only this village is the only pure land.
They killed groups of outsiders until the extraordinary association responsible for controlling the local area discovered the abnormality. When the condensers broke through the village, the villagers saw not the savior, but the monster invading the last pure land.
There are countless examples like this. The cold text may not make people aware of the malice contained in it, but after trying to empathize, the despair of being abandoned by the whole world quickly descended.
Blogo spent some time to keep his emotions stable, and continued to deduce with his own speculations.
The ruins distorted the containment department, causing many imprisoned abominations to be released. They interacted with each other and turned the ruins into what they are now.
The most eye-catching of them are these monsters. Under the influence of the suspected extraordinary disaster, the inverted world, these monsters actually thought they were employees of the Order Bureau and continued the operation of the Order Bureau in various ridiculous ways.
It was also with their distorted cognition that they regarded the real Order Bureau employees who came to explore the ruins as invaders from the King's Secret Sword.
What made Blogo even more incredible was that they also had a certain degree of creativity and gave birth to a department that belonged to them.
Internal security department.
Thinking of this, Blogo rolled up his sleeves and revealed his watch.
Due to his overly intense fighting style, Blogo's items would suffer extremely high losses after each battle. Not only were his uniforms destroyed in various ways, but he also broke several alchemical weapons.
For this reason, Bologo rarely wears insignificant accessories, but in order to deal with the possible time distortion in this operation, Bologo still prepared a watch to determine the time.
According to Bologo's rough calculation, the so-called internal security department will take action in half an hour.
Recalling those hideous-looking field staff, Bologo could not imagine what the internal security department would look like. What made Bologo even more uneasy and confused was that he was not sure whether the void block area he was in was safe.
In the brief contact, Bologo also discovered a pattern. The safe passage was just as its name suggested. It seemed that as long as he hid in the safe passage, the staff would not continue to chase him, just like when he was in the office floor of the logistics department.
The security door was not locked and could be opened with a little force, but those staff did not chase him.
If this is a safe area that can isolate the staff, then Blogo can use this as a base to slowly explore the entire ruins area, but nothing is fixed, and Blogo does not want to pin his safety on such speculation.
"Inverted world..."
Blogo repeated this word with a little palpitation.
After thinking carefully, Blogo found that this extraordinary disaster was fatal to him.
As an undead, death is not a cruel punishment for Blogo, but cognitive distortion is different. Even a person with a strong mind like Blogo does not want to face this kind of thing.
Blogo can only comfort himself that even if he suffers cognitive distortion, perhaps the gift of time-tracing axis can exempt him.
But like his attitude towards the void agglomeration, Blogo does not want to pin his safety on uncertain things.
"Hu... It's time to act, Blogo."
Blogo cheered himself up, he turned back again and pushed open the safety door leading to the sublimation furnace core. There were few staff in this area, and Blogo was ready to start from here and learn about the ruins area bit by bit.
However, since we are here, Bolog took out the target list. In the sublimation furnace core area, there are still many secondary targets waiting for Bolog to collect.
Important experimental records, precious rare materials, semi-finished alchemical weapons, etc. To be honest, Bolog felt that most of the secondary targets were meaningless. Anyway, they have been lost for so long, and they have not affected the normal operation of the sublimation furnace core, nor have they hindered research. To a large extent, it shows that these things are not very important.
Looking down, a completely different secondary target appeared.
"A box"
A box located in the drawer of my secret laboratory.
Next to this secondary target, there is a detailed description of its location. What surprised Bolog was that the so-called reward was added at the end.
"There are many alchemical weapons in the secret laboratory. You can choose whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you take them all."
Bolog read it out. Seeing this, Bolog still had no interest in this strange secondary target. With Bolog's current strength, only a few alchemical weapons can help him.
The client of this secondary target seemed to be able to guess what was going on in Blogo's mind. In order to make Blogo pay attention to this secondary target, he attached his own name.
Mamo Pine.
A commission from the first minister of the sublimation furnace core.
In an instant, the importance of the mysterious box doubled, and along with it, the so-called secret laboratory also changed. This was Mamo's secret laboratory, so what about the alchemical weapons stored in it?
That was the alchemical weapons made by Mamo Pine, the Glory One, the first minister of the sublimation furnace core.
Blogo's expression became hesitant, and he was seriously considering whether to take this private job.
