Chapter 893: Chapter 595: The Disappearing “It”. _2 Chapter 893: Chapter 595: The Disappearing “It”. _2 Colin was somewhat aware of the other party’s thoughts, though the details of Lifecoach Kawaii-many’s family and loved ones were unclear.

However, internally within the company, Kawaii-many had good relations with many people; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to gather intelligence.

But in these few years, a good number of these people had died, either indifferently at the hands of “The Gods” wielding their authority or at the brutal hands of the invading Heretic Races and all sorts of anomalies…

Currently, if there had been no contact, the prospects were generally bleak.

“However,” Colin said, “once I start taking action, the whole world will probably be in turmoil. To stop me, the noise from those Containment Subjects being produced might not be less severe than the ‘divine disaster’ at the beginning of the catastrophe. You all need to prepare…”

“No problem,” Lifecoach Kawaii-many saw the message and immediately became serious.

“There is half a month or a month left, prepare yourselves…”

After finishing, Colin thought for a moment and sent another message:

“There’s another matter. Organize a team to compile all the information on the current Heretics causing trouble, anomalies, and some of the more active Containment Subjects, including everything they have done…”

If there was a chance, he would selectively target these troublemakers.

“No problem, it should be resolved very quickly,” Lifecoach Kawaii-many responded.

Such matters were not difficult because actually, every time the “internal group chat” was restored, someone would post some new anomaly information, alerting others to be careful and avoid pitfalls…

Over the years, a large amount of data had accumulated.

All he needed to do was to organize it.

In no time, he had finished and sent everything to Brother Shunzi.

“There’s quite a bit of data…” Colin held the parchment in his left hand and stroked his chin with his right hand, reading the content.

The higher life forms had not taken active action; by and large, they were mostly lying in wait, with very little activity. Even if they did act, it was mainly involved in “Agent” wars…

Similarly, various anomalies were generally passive, lacking any real intelligence, just mechanically moving like stones by the roadside—if you didn’t kick them, your foot wouldn’t hurt, not really targeting anything specifically…

So their impact wasn’t particularly significant.

The greatest current threat to people was from some strange species that emerged from nowhere, wielding more advanced technology or possessing special mystical abilities. Using various means to reach this place, they continually captured or slaughtered the already few survivors…

Colin remembered seeing some space vessels as big as things hanging high above the dome not long ago, but at the time he didn’t have the leisure to deal with those things.

Of course, apart from capturing or slaughtering humans, they also preyed on various anomalies, special metal resources, and even some extremely weak higher life forms!

Their actions indirectly led to the destruction of many safe havens and gathering points in the aftermath of battles with powerful beings.

After all, this was not their homeland; it didn’t matter how much they destroyed.

“A bunch of opportunists.”

Colin summed it up simply.

Besides these, there were also a small number of friendly ones, but not many…

Following that, he looked at a report about “Fetal Angel,” and his brow furrowed slightly.

It had been confirmed that during the Deep Sea calamity, “Fetal Angel” had for some reason turned against them, becoming an existence named White Night.

“‘For some reason,'” Colin repeated these words, vaguely forming some speculations…

The entire line of “angel” technology was derived from “The Seventh Box Garden World.”

If he remembered correctly, there was a high-ranking Containment Subject called White Night in that world at the time.

“This guy, did he dig a pitfall in the technology…”

Colin surmised the reason for White Night’s appearance.

He just didn’t expect that the pitfall dug by this guy had escaped the company’s “disinfection” screening…

“Or maybe there’s no problem with the technology itself, and it’s only when manufacturing certain special ‘angels’ that pitfalls arise… It gambled on a probability and actually won,” Colin guessed. White Night, after appearing, had clashed many times with some of Shana’s avatars or her subordinates among the Extraordinary Ones.

It obviously showed an interest in Shana…

Or, more accurately, an interest in Shana’s extraordinary traits.

However, it clearly lacked the strength to take her down; should it appear, it would likely be driven away.

But no matter what,

“This guy, given the chance, I must take it down first.”

Colin recorded this at the very top of the first line in his notebook.

Then, he roughly organized the current information on the heretic anomalies, promising his employees that when the opportunity arose, he would not let a single one escape!

“It’s up to you to welcome our guests, Shana,” Colin said, turning to Shana beside him before picking up a skewer of nicely grilled squid and handing it to her as she sat at the side.

Though the squid looked somewhat abstract, it was still safe to eat and free from any peculiar contamination.

As for the old acquaintance, it was the thought that counted.

“Sure, you don’t need to be polite with me.”

Shana took the food from Colin, confirmed their direction, and while her body remained seated, vague and hazy figures emerged from her and darted off in different directions, transforming into streaks of light as they rapidly departed.

Watching Shana finish eating, Colin fed her a few more, feeling considerably more cheerful.

For the next few days, neither of them talked much about the battle that was about to erupt soon.

They spent their time wandering aimlessly through these ruins of the apocalypse.

Colin acted as a guide, explaining various things to Shana—though she had already grasped most of them, having rapidly processed a vast amount of network information due to her special nature.

And so, she had come to understand most things about this civilization…

All knowledge was categorized and stored in her mind as if filed away in folders.

But even knowing this, the experience of being introduced by Colin gave her a different feeling.

“Some methods that use ‘light signals’ to transmit information are very important to us…” Shana said, holding Colin’s small hand as they walked and talked:

“I and most of the Extraordinary Ones from the ‘Light’ Conclave can directly decipher the information within the lines. If every Conclave is connected through these ‘light signals,’ the entire world’s ‘Light’ Conclave could even be unified.”

“Heh, the rulers of your nations will start losing sleep over this soon.”

Colin chuckled at the thought of the various countries and congregations that were highly vigilant against the “Light” Conclave.

“Exactly, but they cannot deny the appeal of such a thing: ultra-low-cost, long-range communication… But more than that, I think the value of ‘science’ as a thought and a way of understanding the world might be even higher than these…”

“This world had no Extraordinary Power for a very long time, but through a certain thought, a new way of understanding the world, it achieved…”

Shana paused, her gaze falling upon the broken world, revealing a sense of regret and a sigh, “a transformation that was almost earth-shattering.”

She had been to many worlds, and to be honest, Earth’s overall level of civilization was not particularly remarkable…

But most of it was either “ancient” legacy or the result of prolonged and exaggerated evolution; few could show continuous self-driven progress and a “technology explosion” like this one.

The simplest example: if we went back ten thousand years, this world would have been dominated by the Extraordinary Ones from her side.

This timeline extended to eight thousand years, three thousand years, a thousand years ago, and there wouldn’t be much change.

But starting a few hundred years ago, the transformation in thought was reflected in reality, with civilization rapidly ascending until the recent modern era, by which time the situation had completely reversed.

From a historical perspective, this was virtually the blink of an eye.

If it weren’t for the sudden catastrophic event, this world might have been on the brink of the next “technology explosion” due to the emergence of the “Extraordinary.”

By then, only a few on her side would have been able to protect themselves…
