  Chapter 718 Pandora's Box

  When everyone returned to the canyon, there was no canyon here.

  The original Gobi scenery has long been smoothed out, leaving only a huge pit, as if hit by a meteorite.

  In the sky, the high clouds were cracked into countless fragments, one by one like scales, and like the broken ice sheets of the North Pole.

   "Where's the mist?" Everyone was surprised to find that the mist that should have covered the canyon had disappeared.

  It’s fine if the canyon is smoothed out, but why is the mist gone? That's the entrance!

   "The entrance was swallowed?" Canaan asked in surprise.

  Kelong shook his head and said: "No, the entrance is still here, everyone should not approach that area."

  He quickly marked a range, where is still the entrance to the uncanny valley, but now the canyon is gone, and the fog is gone.

  It looks like an ordinary Gobi here, without any special signs at all.

   "When Taotie was taken away, its absolute devouring effect within one meter swallowed up the special environment that should have been at the entrance of Uncanny Valley." Kelong explained.

   An abnormal area, sometimes, there will be some special marks.

   Just like here, it is always shrouded in a persistent fog.

   But this does not mean that this fog is the Uncanny Valley itself. It's just a small derivative, a thing called 'fog that cannot be dispelled'.

  This feature is absolutely not as high as the core feature of Uncanny Valley. Taotie was taken away by the core characteristic of Uncanny Valley, but at the same time, it also eliminated the secondary characteristic of Uncanny Valley: the lingering fog with 'absolute devouring'.

  Sometimes, the contained object is changed in shape, but its characteristics are also unchanged.

  It’s like Taotie, even if it turns into a pig, it’s still a pig that can devour everything.

  Similarly, the shape of this area has been changed now. It is still the entrance to the uncanny valley, but it is not visible now.

   It’s like a door. Now even the door frame and facade have been removed, but here is still the ‘door’, even though there is nothing there.

   This is a very common situation in the containment world.

   "Circle this place, build a military base, and report to the Pentagon." Kelong said.

"Yes!"

  Everyone was beaming, and Taotie had been dealt with.

  Although he was not killed, at least he was sent to a place where he would never return.

  Kelong couldn't sense whether there was civilization in that time and space, but he knew that it was definitely not a natural world.

   Even if there is life, I am afraid that only the five gods trapped inside are still alive.

   Let those five gods and demons fall in love with Taotie and kill each other.

   "Ahem..." Kelong's face was extremely ashen, and after a moment of violent panting, he was helped to rest in the car.

   Mo Poor looked at him, and found that he couldn't even stand up, and his eyes were as gray as a dead man.

  There must be something wrong with his body. As an interpreter, Kelong must have borne some kind of price, so he will die soon.

  After checking, the medical personnel on the side stood by and waited for orders. There was no further treatment action at all, which seemed unnecessary.

  Kelong smiled slightly and said, "Mo Poor, you are curious, what's wrong with my body?"

  Mo Qiong doesn’t talk, Kelong doesn’t talk, he won’t ask.

  Kelong smiled and said, "I myself am the containment measure of Pandora's Box. In order to suppress it, I have to endure disease, hunger... and death."

  Pandora’s Box, of course, is the code name obtained by the Blue and White Society, and has nothing to do with mythology. It itself is just a small clay pot, about an inch high.

  It can cause all disasters except the contained one.

  This kind of disaster is divided into two types, one is imposed on the universe, and the other is imposed on the civilization of the holder.

  The holder can decide which one to apply the released disaster to. If there is no holder, then the default is universe.

  A cosmic-level catastrophe may be a big rip of dark energy, or the decay of a vacuum, or all the black holes, which suddenly reversed and erupted.

  According to speculation, before the Pandora's Box was picked up, it had already released a cosmic disaster.

   It’s just that I don’t know where it happened, and it hasn’t spread to the solar system yet, and it may be very far away from human beings.

  But...after the Blue and White Society took it in, they considered again and again whether to let their own civilization bear it.

  Because even a cosmic disaster may not reach the earth for a while, but once it does, it will be a catastrophe.

   This time may be a hundred years, a thousand years...but maybe the day after tomorrow.

  There is no comparison between the disasters of human civilization and the disasters at the cosmic level, and the Blue and White Society must choose this way.

   Its effect is random, and a disaster comes out every year.

  If what comes out is earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, tsunamis and hurricanes, then these will all happen naturally.

  As for the plague, let alone, a highly contagious virus, or some kind of unprecedented new terminal disease will definitely appear.

  The more you resist, the more you stop the disaster from happening, the more it will force it to appear. The resistance was suppressed to the back, and it just appeared out of thin air...

   It is better to let nature take its course, so that there will be a short gestation period, and disasters will occur in a particularly natural form.

  However, unlike the doomsday equation, human beings independently create disasters, which also counts. Perhaps the contents judged that civilization itself is also a source of disaster.

  The holder knows which one has escaped, and also knows to what extent it needs to happen.

  So the initial containment measures are very simple, if what comes out is a tsunami. Then the Blue and White Society immediately notified the Global Council to let a certain country make preparations.

   Then through technology or a certain containment, let the tsunami hit a certain place, and there, the Blue and White Society has prepared troops to carry out blocking and disaster relief work.

  In this way, the disaster can be kept under control, and it will subside without causing serious consequences.

  The same is true for other disasters, man-made meteorites fall, or actively release a new type of virus, and then quickly develop an antidote.

  These methods can minimize the losses caused by Pandora's Box.

  It’s better than disasters randomly appearing in unprepared places. Instead, it’s better to hit yourself. Human beings are at least prepared and even resisted.

  Disasters must happen, but it is not necessary to destroy many people and things. The casualties of disasters depend on human resistance.

  In ancient times, typhoons would kill people, but now, typhoons mostly just cause property losses.

  So, the early containment method was to use this kind of 'fraud'.

   For a long time, the Blue and White Society has been ‘handle with it’ and self-mutilate in a containment method to save face for the contained objects.

  Until one day…a disaster called ‘Death’ appeared.

   It is useless to execute a few people just to "handle it", because the death of a few people is not considered a disaster. Even without it, humans are dying every day, every minute.

  So the embodiment of the disaster of "death" is the continuous negative population growth...

  The sharp rise in the death rate of human beings is a disaster.

   There is no way to stop this effect, the more you stop death, the more people will die. Even if new lives are created continuously, the more children are born, the more people will die.

   This is a mandatory increase in the death rate level, civilization will continue to grow negatively, and the population will eventually drop to zero!

   This is Pandora's Box, the most absolute and terrifying power.

   Unless the target of Pandora's Box is passed on.

   "Death cannot be dealt with, so we must change our strategy and let the interpreter suppress it... But... how did you do it? Can it still choose, and you alone will bear the disaster?" Mo Poor asked.

  He didn’t mention the idea of ​​throwing this contained object into another universe, because any universe must have civilization.

  Even if a universe without civilization is found, there will be the disaster of ‘death’. Who knows where this clay pot went after the death of the universe?

  Kelong smiled and said: "Of course you can't choose to let the individual bear the price, but I am rather special. I am a personal universe."

   "There's a staph civilization developing in my lymphatic system."

  …
