Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 917 New ideas
"In that case, if a ceremony is held that would suddenly increase the depth, the cost of sudden sinking will still occur, but the depth will not increase."

However, the intensity of the cost will increase. The same instantaneous sinking will result in a cost that is more severe, ranging from 10 meters to 30 meters, then from 30 meters to 50 meters. If the sinking is from 100 meters to 120 meters, the cost will be even more terrifying.

After reaching a fixed depth, although the apparent depth will not increase, the cost will gradually increase, as if there is an invisible standard in addition to the apparent depth.

Moreover, oh... the other one is just my guess, because the sample data is severely insufficient.

Another hypothesis is that if one continues to do this frequently after being unable to sink further, it will become difficult to perceive other coordinates at the same depth.

One of my patients was like this. He clearly didn't sense anyone's location, yet he was approached by others, and not just one, but many, and none of them came with good intentions.

I heard that something very unpleasant happened between them, and in the end, my patient ran away. I haven't heard from him since. I don't know if this has anything to do with the extent of his overexertion, since he's the only exception.

Xia Shou nodded thoughtfully.

It sounds a bit like a loan. Before reaching the maximum depth, the instantaneous sinking caused by the universal technique is equivalent to cash payment, cash on delivery.

However, if you still pay the price when you reach the limit, it is equivalent to exceeding the loan limit for consumption. At this point, the price you pay is more like interest, and there is also a hidden limit. Once the limit is exceeded, you will be chased by other debtors.

Well, thinking about it carefully, this model is a bit like the consolidation of non-performing assets. It brings together companies with no hope, puts them together on a big project, and engages in brutal competition like raising poisonous insects, until the one with the most potential is left.

Xia Shou secretly rejoiced that he hadn't used the "Peak of Perfection" technique many times after reaching 1800 meters, so he shouldn't be the one being confronted.

However, even if someone at the same level approaches him, it doesn't necessarily mean he's doomed.

Didn't that person Ximen Qing mentioned run away? This shows that there's still a chance to escape. If you're strong enough, you might be able to kill all the debt collectors, and then everything should be fine, right?

I wonder what other people at the same depth of 1800 meters are like. Judging from Ximen Qing's various examples, his Root Sea depth seems to be quite unusual.

"What if, I mean, what if... if I try to float up and then sink down, won't the cost keep increasing?" Xia Shou asked tentatively.

"Hmm..." Ximen Qing pondered for a while, then said sincerely, "Why don't you tell me about your friend's situation in detail? I won't go around telling everyone, and besides, I'm a doctor."

"That's not necessary. My friend doesn't really care either." Xia Shou smiled awkwardly, knowing he had made it too obvious.

"It's alright. We can have the crescent moon as a witness. It's a common procedure for modern superhumans to conduct consultations. You can go back and think about it."

As for your question about rising and then sinking, I think it's theoretically feasible, but I don't have any cases of rising over long distances. I've never heard of anyone doing it. Perhaps the followers of the Dream Bird can?

"But the followers of the Dream-Picking Birds are too mysterious, and it was difficult to communicate with them in that era. So I don't know much about ascending. If you know anything about it, could you tell me? I think it would be very helpful for the research," Ximen Qing said.

Xia Shou discovered that Ximen Qing's speech became fluent and clear whenever the topic of the Root Sea and the Abyss Syndrome came up. At this time, he did not seem like someone who was not good at socializing at all. It seemed that he was really dedicated to this research.

"Okay, I will. So when do you plan to set off to look for that dog?"

“Soon,” Ximen Qing replied.

He seemed to want to say a few more words, but for some reason, he didn't continue, so his answer became just that one lonely one, and the topic didn't continue.

Xia Shou nodded and walked towards the door. As he grasped the doorknob, he said, "Be careful. There's no need to rush. I'll figure something out."

Sparrow opened the door and grinned, his gold teeth gleaming.

"What did we talk about?"

"nothing." ……

……

The next day, Xia Shou opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and dressed, but did not get out of bed immediately.

He is thinking.

He felt that... many details he hadn't paid much attention to before were slowly connecting with the new information revealed by Ximen Qing.

If he remembered correctly, he also saw information about Lin Zhongma in the report submitted by Huangfu Zuoren.

With Alice's help, Xia Shou got dressed and got out of bed. He turned on his computer, found the backup that Huangfu Zuoren had uploaded to the work group, and immediately located the paragraph about the horse in the forest mentioned in the report by searching for keywords.

The person who ambushed Lin Rizhi, causing his abilities to go out of control and fall into the underworld, resulting in the fall of history, was Cao Xin, the original head of the underworld branch.

During the interrogation, Cao Xin said something similar: "I did it. The great show is about to begin, and I will have a seat in your audience."

(This is the general idea; there may be some discrepancies due to the long time elapsed.)
After discussing with Lin Rizhe and others, I concluded that the other party was likely a follower of Lin Zhongma…

This is the brief mention of Lin Zhongma in Huangfu Zuoren's report.

"Audience...Lin Zhongma"

The Six-Eyed Cult that Ximen Qing had previously joined also believed in the horse in the forest, and Ximen Qing learned about the Scar Era from his mentor. Combining this with the various events that had already occurred, it was easy to come to a conclusion.

The fall from the underworld was caused by an anonymous believer in the horse in the forest during the Scar Age. The purpose of this anonymous believer is obvious and can be easily guessed: to gain recognition.

The First King of the Rift, connected to Alice...

The hyena Velo, sealed within Merlin's House, begins to stir as the underworld falls...

The nameless members of the Forest Horse lineage who caused the fall from the underworld...

From this incident, two somewhat vague threads begin to emerge.

Xia Shou took out the Death Record Notebook and opened it. Although only one night had passed, the words on the paper were already clear. However, he probably couldn't read much of the text in just one night.

Xia Shou thought for a moment and said, "I have a few new discoveries. Listen to me first. If you have something to say, try to be concise and save words... Now, I will begin."

Five minutes later, Xia Shou recounted all the information he had just learned, omitting details about the source of the information and the Heavenly Choir.

"What do you think?"

The loosening of the seal is no coincidence.

No clue.

I have reported the matter of my lost name to my superiors.
