I write obituaries for the gods

"I want to achieve something," Captain England growled. "Fook! You guys give Johnston a Hollywood superhero script! And I'm just making a movie with 'Utopia' and you're all criticizing me!"

"Do you really want to achieve results?" Ms. J's lips curled slightly.

"Of course I fucking want to!"

The English captain suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing with a sinister blue light.

"Tell me what to do..."

He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill those scum who were blocking his path to advancement, especially those scum from the Bureau of Investigation.

And that's exactly what Ms. J wanted him to think.

She also wanted to take revenge on those scumbags from the Bureau of Investigation, but the Foundation's decision was to "maintain relations" with the Bureau of Investigation while promoting Captain England as the main figure.

Now, Ms. J has finally found her opportunity.

“Listen to me, the Bureau of Investigation will be in action soon,” Ms. J whispered in Captain England’s ear. “All you have to do is expose their despicable acts…”

"You are the true hero..."

......

Inside the B4 basement laboratory of the Investigation Bureau, Lin Chen watched Professor Jürgen repeatedly fiddling with the instruments, his mind wandering.

The professor was using an instrument that Lin Chen couldn't understand to process a dark blue crystal. Laser beams were carving mysterious patterns onto the crystal's surface.

The manufacturing process of the "whale-sound bomb" is more like magic than technology.

As the instrument was working, Professor Jürgen turned around and looked at Lin Chen, who was deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" the professor asked with a gentle smile.

“I’ve been thinking about the recent case,” Lin Chen said softly. “The fact that the Foundation has mastered the means to pull the real world into the subspace makes me feel…terrified.”

Subspace disasters are the most terrifying natural disasters in the world. Many extremely destructive natural disasters in history are actually the aftermath of subspace disasters.

For example, Hurricane Katrina in 05. At that time, the United States was not the superpower it is today, and it had not yet integrated the entire Americas.

This level of natural disaster has actually become a controllable beast.

Demigods, natural disasters—just how ambitious is the Foundation that wields these immense powers?

"..."

Professor Jürgen smiled faintly and adjusted his glasses.

"In fact, manipulating the subspace is not difficult; anyone can do it if they are willing to spend the time."

"Huh?" Lin Chen snapped out of his daze. "Really?"

“If you’re curious, I can chat with you about it,” Professor Jürgen said softly.

"Please speak, I'm listening."

Seeing Lin Chen's eyes brimming with curiosity, Professor Jürgen chuckled and explained:

"You should already know to some extent that the essence of the warp ruins is that after the blue matter devoured the matter of the real world, it reproduced that matter in the warp in a distorted form."

"The bizarre and fantastical scene of ruins you see is because it is the blue substance's imitation of the real world."

"If we compare the erosion of subspace to a rain, then the ruins are the puddles left on the ground after the rain."

"Those puddles hold the reflection of our world, a distorted, unreal reflection, a..."

"City of Mirages".

Upon hearing this familiar word, a glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, but he showed no sign of anything amiss.

Professor Jürgen glanced at the instrument carving the "whale-like" projectile, picked up the thermos, and twisted off the lid:

"The birth of most warp ruins is strongly associated with a warp phenomenon called 'hurricane'."

"This 'hurricane' ravaged the depths of the subspace, like a volcanic eruption in the ocean depths. The resulting dimensional curvature fluctuations rose into the real world, just like the rising tide. It submerged reality and caused erosion."

"The movement of subspace hurricanes is traceable."

"There are clues to follow?" Lin Chen found it strange.

Professor Jürgen nodded, took a sip of water, and continued:

"Hurricanes follow the emotions of people."

"Huh?" Lin Chen was surprised.

Does this mean that mere human emotional fluctuations can cause subspace erosion?

“Incredible, isn’t it?” Professor Jürgen chuckled. “Mainstream research suggests that human emotions in the real world are projected into the subspace, forming a kind of sedimentation phenomenon.”

"Whatever emotions are deposited, there will be corresponding entities and rules within the subspace ruins."

"Think about the ruins you've experienced before, and it should be easy to understand."

That's easy to understand... Lin Chen nodded.

The incident at the school caused students to fear being placed on probation, which led to the creation of the "blackboard head" (a nickname for someone who is afraid of being detained).

The archive bunker also gave birth to Lin Chen's good brother, the "archive administrator".

Thinking about it this way, if the firing range needs maintenance one day and Li Zhanyi can't fire his gun and cries in frustration, wouldn't that attract subspace erosion on the spot?

Gamma-level entity: A girl who longs to fire a gun.

Ability: Smoke the smoke and then stand inside to break through.

Professor Jürgen smiled faintly as he looked at Lin Chen, who was deep in thought.

“The accumulation of emotions within the subspace will attract hurricanes. When the hurricanes arrive, the subspace rises into reality, which will cause erosion.”

"This is why subspace erosion often occurs in areas where human emotions are intense, such as schools, battlefields, and companies."

"However, such sedimentation usually takes a long time to attract the fluctuations of a hurricane, which is why cemeteries have been haunted since ancient times. Because that area has witnessed too many human emotions, it is easy to cause repeated erosion and give birth to physical entities."

Professor Jürgen's words broadened Lin Chen's understanding.

He truly hadn't expected that warp erosion would be related to human emotions.

Humans, so small, are able to so effectively manipulate the forces of nature.

But thinking about it, it does make sense. Lin Chen had heard of a case before: a group of workers demanded their wages and surrounded their boss's villa for three days and three nights. As a result, the villa suddenly experienced subspace erosion, and the boss died inside.

At the time, people online said it was divine retribution, but I never expected there was a scientific principle behind it.

"Now you understand why I said earlier that manipulating the warp is actually very simple, right? Because as long as you can manipulate human emotions, it's equivalent to indirectly manipulating the warp's encroachment."

"For example, if high pressure and fear are continuously created in a region, then it is only a matter of time before that region is eroded by the subspace."

"Do you remember the school case you were involved in? The kids at that school were under a lot of pressure, so that area was a typical high-risk zone. The Bureau of Investigation had been monitoring it, which is why they reacted so quickly when the incident happened."

"As long as the dimensional stability anchor is deployed quickly enough, the eroded space will not actually fall into the subspace, or at least not entirely."

“Wait a minute,” Lin Chen realized something, “What about before the invention of the dimensional anchor? People cry at the graves in those haunted cemeteries every day, and some cemeteries can exist for hundreds of years. Theoretically, they should have been repeatedly eroded, so why didn’t they fall into the subspace?”

"Well..."

Professor Jürgen stroked the gray stubble on his chin and chuckled softly.

"Where yin energy gathers, there are naturally celestial beings protecting the deceased. If there's no dimensional stability anchor, surely there are dimensional stability talismans, incense, and offerings? Historical records show that some powerful exorcist Taoist priests wielded anti-gamma-level solid peach wood swords..."

Lin Chen:......

Next time we go to the Warp Space Ruins, should we bring two Taoist priests with us?

......

Chapter 66 Litty (First Update)

After Professor Jürgen's explanation, Lin Chen's thinking was broadened considerably.

He briefly summarized the situation, then spoke softly:

"So, if the Foundation wants to drag schools, bunkers, and other areas into the warp, it only needs to find a way to ignite the existing conflicts in those areas, cause emotions to erupt, attract a warp hurricane, and then trigger the erosion."

“That’s right,” Professor Jürgen nodded. “The problem now is that even if the underlying emotions are ignited, it’s difficult to cause such a large-scale erosion all at once. The school incident was relatively mild, but the ruins of the bunker archives collapsed too suddenly, without any warning.”

"There must be a more efficient method in the foundation, and the principle behind this method is what we will study next."

More efficient methods...

Lin Chen recalled the gray city deep in the subspace, known as the "ideal state".

Was that city related to subspace erosion?

Or is it merely a transit station for spatial travel, and the "weapon" causing the erosion is something else entirely?

Lin Chen decided to investigate the memories in the bunker's archives in detail when he returned tonight.

Just then, the instrument beside him beeped. Professor Jürgen turned around, checked the parameters, and said softly:

"Alright, your 'whale cry' round is ready, 23mm, slug."

With a "buzzing" sound, the instrument was activated, and a bullet shimmering with a dazzling blue light slowly floated up.

Jürgen used tweezers to pick up the bullet, placed it into a small canister emitting white gas, and then handed it to Lin Chen.

"I won't charge you for processing this time, so take it. But I still hope you won't need it."

"How can this be?" Lin Chen had already taken out his phone to transfer the money.

The setup cost and labor cost for polishing a "whale-sound bullet" are quite high. Although Lin Chen provided the raw materials, the cost of making this bullet should still be close to five figures.

However, Professor Jürgen insisted on shaking his head:

"No need, young man. Save your money. You'll have a lot of expenses coming up. Alpha-level demigods are not easy to deal with. This bullet is for your survival. Consider it a gift from me."

“But…” Lin Chen looked at the instruments beside him.

He understood that if he didn't pay the startup fee, Professor Jürgen would have to bear it.

We can't keep asking people to send us things, we haven't even repaid the favor of sending the Azure Factor last time.

"Don't mention it. I've received quite a bit of money from your investigation bureau over the years for being listed as a 'nominee'."

Professor Jürgen chuckled and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.

"Since you're so worried about the money, then make good use of this bullet. You need to protect yourself and Zhanyi."

"Remember, demigods are also made of flesh and blood, even Alpha-level demigods."

"Aim for his heart; if it hits, he'll either die or be seriously injured."

"I understand." Lin Chen nodded.

Seeing that Lin Chen had accepted the bullet, Professor Jürgen chuckled and nodded, then turned and walked toward the experimental table.

"Alright, I have a large-scale experiment tonight, so I need to get ready now. You can go ahead and get busy. I'll be at the Bureau of Investigation's lab lately, so feel free to ask me any questions."

"Ok."

Lin Chen turned around, preparing to leave the laboratory.

Just then, Professor Jürgen's phone rang.

"Hello, this is..."

"Something happened to Litty?"

Jürgen's tone became noticeably tense, and Lin Chen turned around to meet the old man's gaze.

For the first time, he caught a glimpse of panic in those calm and wise eyes.

"The school, right? I'll be right there."

Jürgen put away the phone and strode briskly toward the laboratory door.

"Professor, what's wrong?" Lin Chen immediately followed him.

“My daughter had an accident at school, a serious erosion,” Jürgen murmured softly. “She wasn’t in good health to begin with, and this has just put her through this…”

An unusual erosion has appeared at the school? Lin Chen immediately tensed up.

Huihui and Liti are deskmates! They attend classes together!

Is it the foundation? Have they made their move again?

Lin Chen followed Jürgen quickly through the corridor and into the elevator.

As the elevator ascended, Lin Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Huihui:
