Chapter 160 Clearing Recording Shield and Unknown

Tu Lanxun was a little surprised and looked at Mu Zhenzhen, but Mu Zhenzhen smiled kindly, "It's okay. I've had some time to improve it recently. According to the original deduction, there was a small chance that the previous one would malfunction."

Tu Lanxun's heart was beating like a drum. Could it be that Mu Xiaozhen had deduced something through calculations and experiments?

Could she remotely monitor the old necklace's current condition? Would she know N? No, Wen Chong should have told Mu Xiaozhen about N...

Tu Lanxun calmly put away the necklace and said with a faint smile, "Thank you, Professor Mu."

Mu Xiaozhen looked at her and said, "Don't you want to try it on?"

Tu Lanxun said thoughtfully, "I've grown attached to this old one. It means something special to me. And..."

"And what?"

"Besides, I work and live in the development zone, and I interact with ghosts every day. You could say ghosts are my job. It's not appropriate to wear a necklace that blocks ghosts now. I can wear it when I leave the development zone to do a mission. I'm sure I'll need it then."

Tu Lanxun felt that what he said made sense, and was afraid that Mu Xiaozhen would be angry, so he looked at her expression carefully, like a child who had to pass the test of his parents.

Mu Xiaozhen is not a kind old lady in the true sense of the word. Her resume shines like gold and is as hard as steel. She has real military experience and dedicated her youth to the Wilderness Research Institute, which has not been declassified to this day. Her subordinates may have also undergone experiments that are intolerable to the secular world.

It can be said that he is just an old but strong warrior with high IQ, whose background is strongly linked to the official, and he even fits the definition of a "tough guy" better than Wenchong and Bu Linlin.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaozhen smiled and said soothingly, "Xiao Tu, don't overthink it. Although your mother and I have a distant personal relationship, I am your predecessor and guide in every way. That necklace isn't a complete replica of the old one; it has new functions that are more suitable for today."

Tu Lanxun became interested. Mu Zhenzhen was indeed extraordinary, so she asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

The necklace was taken out of the box. The texture of this thing was a bit between titanium and silver. There was a steel-colored tetrahedron, or pyramid-shaped, hanging at the pendant position, a bit like a simply cut steel-colored gem.

Upon closer inspection, the four corners of the tetrahedron are exactly the same, but if you tap them lightly with your fingertips, you can find that their temperatures are step-by-step different.

Mu Xiaozhen tapped the four corners in turn and said, "These are actually four buttons. The temperature ranges from low to high. Remember the functions yourself."

"Okay." Tu Lanxun tried it out. The temperatures at the four corners were icy cold, cool, warm, and scorching hot, which were easy to distinguish. Because the contact area was small, it was not easy to actually burn or frostbite the skin when wearing it.

Mu Xiaozhen said: "First level, clear. Second level, record. Third level, block. Fourth level, unknown."

Seeing that Tu Lanxun didn't rush to ask questions, Mu Zhenzhen continued to explain, "Reset is a function that can, to a certain extent, remove the effects of being possessed by a ghost, the negative effects of a ghost, and the effects of being attached to a ghost."

"Record is exactly what it says. Pressing this button will record the voiceprints, shapes, and breath of every ghost within ten meters of you in 360 degrees. This function will make it easier to track the target later."

"Shielding sounds a bit like clearing, but clearing is internal, while shielding is external." Mu Xiaozhen explained: "The shielding function is actually copied from the old Fourth Treaty shielding device. It can make the law treaty centered on you, forming a temporary vacuum zone."

Tu Lanxun became happy: "So ghosts can't see me?"

"You could say that," Mu Xiaozhen nodded. "But there's something more important. This shielding function is only designed for the current and predicted future treaty situation. If there are any unusual changes to the treaty, the shielding function may become ineffective or mutate. You should be mentally prepared."

Tu Lanxun had already thought of this when she spoke, so he naturally had no objection. So he asked, "What about the last function? What does the fourth level, unknown, mean?"

Mu Xiaozhen's expression grew serious. "I was just about to mention this. Actually, the original design of this necklace was a flat triangle, but during the production process, I accidentally created a fourth function. I can't quite explain what it is. Out of professional instinct as an experimenter, I've kept it, but no one can guarantee its stability, let alone whether it will pose a danger."

Tu Lanxun was confused. "So what is it?"

"The 'unknown' function can produce a black hole," said Mu Xiaozhen.

Tu Lanxun almost thought he had misheard, "Black hole?"

Could it be that this world, which has been polluted by the supernatural, has completely turned to the cosmic science channel?

Mu Xiaozhen pointed at the hottest corner of the tetrahedron and said, "You heard correctly. Its function is to create a black hole three meters behind you. Ah, black hole is just a common name. It's not a true distortion point in the universe's space-time, nor is it a manhole with a stolen manhole cover. It's just like what you heard, a black hole in the literal sense that hasn't been thoroughly studied."

Tu Lanxun was tempted to try it out, but was stopped by Mu Zhenzhen, who, with a rare look of lingering fear on his face, said slowly, "You can see me alive now thanks to the robust protective measures of the Tourism Administration's core research institute."

The last time, which was the first time Mu Xiaozhen triggered a black hole, was in the Tourism Administration Bureau laboratory.

"At that time, all objects in the entire space were attracted to the black hole to varying degrees. I would like to call it a pseudo-black hole. And I was pushed forward. The lid of the soul centrifuge burst open, and inside was a super-metal blade with an astonishing rotation speed. It was only two centimeters away from my eyes, and my head was about to drill into it uncontrollably..."

Mu Xiaozhen's words made Tu Lanxun tremble with fear. Mu Xiaozhen was not Bu Linlin. She always spoke conservatively and accurately and never exaggerated.

Tu Lanxun quickly figured it out: "That black hole attracts inanimate objects, while living things are pushed away? Then what about ghosts? Are ghosts considered alive or not?"

Mu Xiaozhen's face showed a slight admiration, and he said: "Ghosts are not disturbed by anything. Chen Ou was there at the time, and he stood there and felt nothing. Oh no, he just didn't feel the physical force, but he said later..."

Chen Ou suddenly appeared beside Tu Lanxun, or rather, he came from the direction behind Tu Lanxun. Less than fifteen meters away was a closed bar, and the abandoned leather chairs inside looked very comfortable.

"Professor Shen." Tu Lanxun greeted.

Chen Ou waved his hand and said anxiously, "Let me tell you. First-hand information is fresher." Mu Xiaozhen glanced at him. Chen Ou nodded and continued, "Did I feel like crying?"

What does it mean, the effect of the black hole on Chen Ou is that it makes him want to cry?

"Sad, peaceful, empty, lonely... It's like I no longer belong to this world." Chen Ou said, "I have an urge, as if being a ghost is such a troublesome thing! Only by closing my eyes forever, or opening a new pair of eyes on the thin quilt in the crib, can I feel happy!"

Tu Lanxun understood: "The black hole will push away the living and attract the dead to varying degrees, while ghosts will have the urge to 'reincarnate' and 'self-annihilate'."

At that time, the situation of Mu Zhenzhen and Shen Ou was indeed extremely dangerous. Mu Zhenzhen had just dodged the rotating blade, and was almost exploded in front of her by a swivel chair. Fortunately, Shen Ou pulled her back - Shen Ou also wanted to thank Mu Zhenzhen. If he had not been in a hurry to rescue Mu Zhenzhen, Shen Ou might have collapsed and been reincarnated at that moment.

Mu Xiaozhen nodded at the new necklace painted with blue Xun and said seriously, "It can trigger something that has not yet been explored. It is very dangerous. It attacks all ghosts indiscriminately, and even humans may be accidentally harmed. Don't use it lightly."

Tu Lanxun expressed his gratitude for the lesson, and Mu Xiaozhen stopped talking, stretched his muscles, and told Chen Ou to go back.

She slowly turned around and saw N emerging from the abandoned bar. He pointed at the flash of light in Tu Lanxun's pocket and said, "Your phone number."

The computer ghost answered the phone. Her voice was still rigid, and she said calmly, "The ghost team retreating from the north that Director Wen mentioned earlier is heading towards the development zone and has reached the edge."

"Let Sonia guard the store, and Lu Jiasui and Mikhail take a team over there."

Tu Lanxun's heart tightened, and he directly dialed Wen Chong's cell phone, but it was Zhao Kuanqiao who answered the call.

Zhao Kuanqiao said quickly amidst the background noise, "Advisor Tu, is there something wrong with the development zone?"

Tu Lanxun explained the situation in a few words, and Zhao Kuanqiao wasn't surprised. "No problem, Consultant Tu, you can take care of yourself. You can call for reinforcements if needed. However, we can't mobilize a large number of people at the moment. Ah, the Capital Tourism Administration has a new team in the surrounding towns, not far from you. Feel free to contact us if you need support."

Zhao Kuanqiao used his cell phone to send a series of phone numbers to Tu Lanxun, who suddenly asked, "Is there another incident in Lucheng?"

"This time, it's not some wild ghost that's been instigated to occupy the land," Zhao Kuanqiao said. "It's a well-trained group of ghosts that should belong exclusively to the Heavenly Kingdom Group. They're approaching Lucheng from the other side."

Tu Lanxun frowned: "Are they going to attack the city?"

As far as she knew, ghost employees in the Tourism Administration were not widespread, and most of the ghosts on duty were special agents or technical workers, such as Chen Ou.

If we talk about a regular army of ghosts that are good at fighting, the Tourism Bureau may have scattered teams, but there should be no large-scale organization, at least Tu Lanxun has never seen it.

The Kingdom of Heaven Group has almost all the ghost resources on the earth. It has occupied them for at least three years in advance and can collect as many ghosts as possible, and then enslave and train them with its cruel soul transformation technology.

Thinking of the pressure that Wen Chong and others were facing, Tu Lanxun sighed.

"Don't worry." Zhao Kuanqiao assured from the other side, "It's not as bad as you think. Please, guard the development zone well."

Hope ignited in Tu Lanxun's heart. Could it be that the Tourism Administration still has some unknown trump card?

She never expected that N disappeared not long after she returned.
