Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 882 Xiao Gao is relieved

Baihe pulled up his mask and corrected, "That's not what I said. I told him that many people would die, more than the time with the Divine Law."

“But if our world becomes flat, wouldn’t that be almost the same as the end of the world?” Jiang Wengao said.

At this moment, Jiang Wengao's feelings were complicated.

Because in the game, fifty years from now, the world is still a Möbius strip.

However... the game doesn't actually record the Scar Era, nor does it mention any risk of the world flattening out, so Jiang Wengao can't be sure whether the game world experienced this disaster.

He now only hopes that this disaster was not caused by the butterfly effect, but that it actually happened in the game's background, but was not written in the text, or was not discovered by the players.

If this incident was indeed a butterfly effect caused by his time travel, and the Bureau of Control failed to handle it properly, then he would become the culprit responsible for the deaths of countless humans.

Although he had no real sense of this responsibility, even a tiny fraction of the moral pressure made him feel extremely uneasy.

"Xiao Gao, you're too nervous. Look at Xia Shou and Bai He, they're so calm," Shangguan Yan said.

Jiang Wengao frowned and glanced at Bai He, who was sitting to his right. Bai He's eyes hadn't left his phone screen since the beginning, and his fingers were typing non-stop, seemingly talking to a teacher about the situation with Gray Rain.

Looking at Xia Shou sitting on the left, he had just closed his self-discipline notebook.

Jiang Wengao noticed that Xia Shou had clearly written: "[Take one hour to calmly reflect.]"

That's hardly calm!
"Here."

Noticing that Xiao Gao was looking at him, Xia Shou calmly handed the self-discipline notebook to Jiang Wengao, with an expression that said, "Just use it for a bit."

"No, Brother Shou, you can use this yourself," Jiang Wengao politely declined.

He had used a self-discipline notebook before and knew how powerful it was, but after the self-discipline ended, there was a compensation to pay, and that feeling was not pleasant.

He felt that self-discipline notes were a kind of toxic form of confinement; although they could achieve their purpose in the short term, the cumulative negative effects would eventually lead to depression.

In Jiang Wengao's opinion, Xia Shou, who could write such a strict self-discipline plan without changing his expression after using the notebook, is simply a superman!
At this moment, Shangguan Yan spoke up: "If this disaster really happens, the consequences will indeed be serious, but Xiao Gao, haven't you noticed? The size of our temporary department is not large."

"Um...that's true."

"There's a reason for that. The Control Bureau is always walking a tightrope. If the mission that Mo Ying and Wu Lang went to support fails, in addition to the 100,000 people who will die directly, the risk of depression among ordinary people around the world will increase by 10%."

The consequences of failure in many jobs are severe, just like walking a tightrope where one wrong step can lead to certain death.

But there are tricks to walking a tightrope: ankle stability, toe strength, control of each step distance, control of the balance bar, control of mindset, control of breathing... As long as you do all of these, you won't fall.

It's difficult, isn't it? But walking on a tightrope is possible.

World-ending natural disasters do not occur by chance, but rather with high frequency, with hundreds possibly occurring in a single day.

However, all of them were blocked by people like us, so the world is peaceful and stable. But perhaps within a hundred years, there will be one event that cannot be stopped in time and is recognized by the most ordinary people. Then, the person who solves this problem at the last moment will become a great person who creates a new world.

Therefore, constantly facing destruction is the norm, and as someone living in the real world, you have to get used to facing this reality.

Upon hearing this, Xia Shou raised his eyelids and glanced at Shangguan Yan. He remembered that the Death Record Notes had said something similar, but Xia Shou, realizing this, remained completely unmoved.

He is very calm now.

Shangguan Yan casually pushed a few documents off the table to Jiang Wengao: "These are people who are not in the present world, but who also work with us."

Jiang Wengao noticed a few words on the document: "Quick Transmigrator".

He gasped.

He knew this term all too well. In the game, all these people were ridiculously powerful monsters! All the time travelers were people who had difficulty maintaining their sanity due to the corruption of curse power, so they lived in different histories and eliminated the supernatural influence by frequently traveling through history.

Although they are prone to losing control and are extremely irrational, this also means that their abnormality level is generally very high, with each of them being at least level five.

And battlefields like those in the old history are also very suitable for them to fight on.

Even if one's sanity completely spirals out of control and transforms into a monster, as long as one can climb a ladder alive, one can return to being a human.

Because it's from the past, it doesn't matter how many people he kills when he goes out of control; it won't affect the present world at all.

Are we going to use these people this time?
Jiang Wengao swallowed hard and excitedly turned to the first page.

【The Skeleton Saint: Di Weizhi】

[Anomaly Level: Level 5]

[Personal Note: Increased spell power absorption rate during combat. Normally, level 6 will be reached 30 minutes after the start of the battle, resulting in a significant loss of sanity.]

[Special Ability: …………]

He turned another page.

Then he saw even more powerful people.

Crow Sacrifice, Midnight Confessor, Bloodscarred Duchess, Blue-Clad Marquis, Daytime Emperor...

To be precise, these people are powerful figures from the past. They are even marked as dead in the Bureau of Control's ordinary files, and they will not return to the present world, so they are indeed no different from dead.

"If Sprite really comes up, they will join us in stopping him." Shangguan Yan had already lowered his head to attend to official business. "So, are you relieved now?"

Jiang Wengao was a little embarrassed to answer. He was indeed relieved, but it would be a bit undignified to say it out loud.

So he thought for a moment and said, "But what if we still can't stop the enemy?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it," Shangguan Yan said with a very relaxed smile, without even looking up.

Jiang Wengao touched his mouth and mentally repeated what Shangguan Yan had just said, wondering when he could be like the minister and say such pretentious lines without batting an eye.

However... although the words were cool, he felt that the minister was being a bit too presumptuous.

He knew the minister was strong, but didn't the minister still get crushed by the writer last time?
This time, the enemy is the strongest being of the Scar Era, and he has also monopolized the extraordinary resources of his era.

Comparing the two, Jiang Wengao saw absolutely no chance of the minister winning.

Even though he thought this way, Jiang Wengao still didn't dare to voice his doubts, because he knew a lot.

Although he knew that the minister had been defeated by the writer, he also knew that the minister had another face that had not yet been revealed—the Witch of Shattered Stars!

Even Blood Maria, who ultimately became a pillar of humanity, received the highest praise.

Although many people on the forum thought that Aunt Su was being modest, a considerable number of people also believed that Aunt Su's comment was true.

She said, "If the minister were still here, it would only take three minutes."

This comment was made by her after she had just become a pillar of humanity and, on her first mission, fought for a day and a night to kill the mythical anomaly named "Abaddon" without taking any damage.

Later, this text became a meme, which was talked about and repeatedly mentioned by many game power-level players.

Whenever two players argue endlessly about the combat power of two characters on the forum, someone will use this meme: [Shattered Star Witch: I heard there are people comparing combat power here?]
