Chapter 567 I think I know what to do


    After hearing this news, the students who were eager to try were also shocked.


    "This... this is enough to destroy the entire city..." Sun Xiaowei said: "Even if there are only 10,000 people now, it may spread to 30,000 people in seven days, and 14 days later, and 100,000 people in one month, and millions may be infected in one month..."


    "It''s not just that..." Zhuge Lan frowned and said, "Three years ago... Professor Zhuge said that people infected by crazy laughter will perceive strong fear from their subconscious minds, and then they will definitely bear huge psychological pressure. It would be fine if only a few people were infected. So many people caused group panic, and they would definitely try to escape from this city and spread crazy laughter to more places!"


    "In other words, the whole world may be in this crisis?" Lu Fei frowned.


    "The government''s supernatural response department has intervened to close Huangquan City and prohibited anyone from leaving the city within seven days." Zhuge Suo frowned and said, "But even so, this city is over. Tens of thousands of people are infected and laughing wildly. Not to mention ordinary people, even us explorers are at risk of being infected at any time! It is even possible that this evil force invades the main world!"


    "How could this happen?" Ouyang Yu shouted: "Isn''t the rules of the main world completely different from [Supernatural]? The monsters raging here will be weakened when they arrive in the main world, right?"


    "But the mechanism of laughter is still unclear." The female assistant holding the information on the side said, "No one can guarantee what harm it will cause once it invades the main world."


    "Then we will close the college." Qin Junsong of Kansai University suggested: "As long as you don''t communicate with any outsiders, you will be able to open up after this crisis is over."


    "The [Supernatural] government will not believe us." Zhuge Yu shook his head and said, "Once this unsolvable strange phenomenon spreads uncontrollably, they will never allow any living mouth."


    "Besides, there is often a root behind this strange phenomenon of transmission nature. That root is hidden behind the phenomenon. As the phenomenon spreads, the more energy it spreads, the wider it spreads, and the more people it kills, the stronger the root will be. If we leave it alone, even if the [Supernatural] government does not attack us, and when that root becomes stronger, it may even reach the level of entity, we explorers will not be able to protect ourselves."


    "Substituted? Can the spirit body be substituted by itself?" Luo Jun said in surprise.


    "There are many ways to generate physical monsters." Zhugelan explained to him: "But most of them are formed by powerful spirits occupying the ready-made physical body. There is only one situation. When the spiritual body is strong to a certain extent, it will become physical on its own. In this case, the physical body generated has the highest degree of compatibility with the spiritual body, and the entity formed is the strongest and most dangerous. At least, the masters above the peak can match it!"


    "With the strangeness of the crazy laughter, once it becomes physical, it will definitely be an extremely terrifying existence." The female assistant next to her showed fear: "I''m afraid that only Yuhua takes action can curb... Let''s report to the headquarters and ask someone Yuhua to come!"


    "The arrival of the feather is also a big deal for the other world, and may alarm those hidden forces." Zhuge Su frowned and said, "And the feather is not something that can be invited just by asking."


    "President Ji of Tianjing is visiting Xiluo. The Ice and Snow Queen is also carrying out special tasks abroad. If you want to invite the Ling family, you will definitely have to pay a huge price... As for the president, although you don''t know why, he has not left the main world for many years, no matter how big the matter has happened in another world!"


    "Then we can''t take care of ourselves..." The female assistant showed anxiety.


    "I will naturally report to the headquarters, but before the headquarters reply, we must do everything we can to minimize the threat of this incident!"


    After saying that, Zhuge Yu turned to the students: "The development of things exceeded our expectations. The situation may threaten all [supernatural] explorers, and may even backfire on the main world. Now is no longer the time to consider communication and assessment. Students, please leave immediately and return to the main world..."


    "Professor Zhuge!" the female assistant suddenly shouted: "Now there are so many infected people, we urgently need manpower. Although these students are young, they are all elites and are stronger than many senior explorers. It is better to let them..."


    "No!" Zhuge Yu flatly refused. "No matter how strong they are, they are still students, and elites, and pillars of the future. They still lack experience now, so let them face the danger of super-spec now. Once they die here, it will be a huge loss!"


    "But... in the face of this situation, we really don''t have enough manpower, and it''s too late to transfer people now..." The female assistant wanted to persuade her, but was flatly rejected by Zhuge Su.


    "No, now I announce that the exchange meeting ends here. All contestants and instructors will return to the main world to take refuge immediately!"


    Hearing Zhuge Yu''s decision, the students were talking.


    "Even mature elite explorers can''t solve this kind of thing, right?"


    "This is the first time I attended an exchange meeting, and I encountered this kind of thing..."


    "Is it safe to escape back to the main world? That weird crazy laughter won''t follow you too..."


    "What are you afraid of? I''m just a ghost after all. I don''t believe it can make a comeback."


    "Don''t underestimate the ghosts in the [Supernatural] world. Some abilities may be beyond your imagination."


    …


    The students have different attitudes towards this, some are afraid, some are cautious, and some are pretending to be calm and do not take it seriously. But in general, most people are still very afraid of such horrible events and are ready to pack up and go home.


    Zhuge Yu''s eyes swept over and saw everyone''s reaction.


    "I won''t leave, I want to stay!"


    At this time, a student stood up.


    Everyone saw it and unconsciously called out his name: "Luo Jun?"


    Luo Jun? Zhuge Yu frowned slightly. Is he a famous genius recently? I heard that he had some outstanding performances in the previous exchange meeting, but he did not even show his specific abilities.


    "Classmate Luo Jun..." Zhuge Yu kindly advised: "Now is not the time to be a hero. You have also heard what I just introduced. Huangquan City is very dangerous now."


    "Isn''t the Explorer''s job just to face danger?" Luo Jun spread his hands and looked for granted, then turned to look at the other contestants: "Think about it carefully, why did you first get into the Explorer Academy?"


    "Is it to prove your strength and talent? Pretend to be a fool in front of friends?" "Or hope to get a diploma and get a job in Yuan Xiuhui in the future?"


    "Or it''s just the request of the teacher in the family, you don''t want to come?"


    "There is no reason, but because of interest, I came in after taking an exam?"


    "I don''t care about you." Luo Jun finally gave a thumbs up and pointed at himself: "I applied to Ningdong Academy in the first place because I hope to become an explorer in the future, explore the other world, and work hard for the peace of the main world!"


    By the way, he earned a high salary starting from 30,000 yuan a month... Of course, he didn''t say this.


    "So, I will stay and help fight this crisis. Everyone who is afraid of death can do whatever they want to leave. Even if I die here, it is my own choice. It is better to live in danger and live a life of silence!"


    Luo Jun said this with a righteous word, which made the contestants who had already started to pack up their things a little embarrassed.


    Who can come to the exchange meeting is not a genius and elite among his peers? They are usually arrogant and arrogant, and have a high mind and a young and energetic way, how can they hear such words?


    "Who said I''m leaving? I just sorted out my equipment and prepared to accept the mission!"


    "That''s right! I will be a big shot in the future. I won''t scare me this little thing!"


    "Yes, Professor Zhuge, we will stay here too. As long as we can help, you can just give us your instructions!"


    In the conference room, the atmosphere of panic was gone in an instant. They volunteered and the crowd was infuriated, and no one was willing to retreat.


    Seeing this scene, Zhuge Yu glanced at Luo Jun meaningfully, then sighed: "Since everyone insisted on this, I will no longer refuse. Thank you again for lending a helping hand."


    "According to current intelligence, the crazy laughter was triggered on a commercial street where the performance celebrations were held. At that time, the infected person rushed to the stage and died of laughter in front of thousands of audiences. In the end, the limbs were twisted, the bones were penetrated with flesh and blood, and the death was extremely miserable."


    "The audience at that time were also frightened by this scene, fled everywhere, and even triggered a stampede... When the official supernatural response agency got the news, when they arrived at the scene, the audience had already run away by 80%. Although the rest had been controlled, most of the witnesses had already scattered all over the city and could not be found."


    "At present, our only clue is the live video and surveillance video at the scene, but it is difficult to find witnesses in the entire city through this."


    "So what if you find it?" Lei Tianyang asked, "How can there be so many shelter facilities for so many people? You can''t kill them all, right?"


    "The Supernatural Response Department is currently coordinating a stadium in Huangquan City, intending to quarantine those infected." Zhuge Yu introduced: "I will distribute contact equipment to everyone later and send the location of the stadium to everyone. What we need to do is to find as many infected people as possible before the laughter further spreads and bring them to this stadium for isolation."


    "But even if it is isolated, what''s the use?" Ouyang Yu curled his lips: "In seven days, they will still die. There are hidden dangers to keep them. It''s better to kill them all. Anyway, they are just people from other worlds."


    Zhuge Su frowned slightly and then said, "That''s what the Supernatural Response Department requires. We are just non-governmental organizations that can assist the official, but we cannot make our own decisions."


    "It is also beneficial to keep these infected people." For the female assistant with rich experience in [Spiritual], "Common sense, the source of crazy laughter can be hidden before is mostly because it has been spreading on a small scale. As the spread is wider and more infected people, the stronger the power of the root cause will be, and the harder it will be to hide. Keeping these infected people may help us lock in the hidden source of crazy laughter, which is a good opportunity to solve this crisis!"


    "In short, our goal is to find more witnesses and take them to the gymnasium to quarantine. According to current experience, within three days after the sightings, it is considered a safe period, and the emotions of infected people are relatively stable. The laughing incidents often occur after the fourth day, so within three days, the task is relatively safe. Please cherish this safe period to find more people."


    Zhuge Yu clapped his face: "At this point, there is no need for any communication or competition. All of you are comrades-in-arms. You can form teams at will. Just treat yourself as a real explorer and work hard!"


    "Wait, Professor Zhuge." Luo Jun suddenly raised his hand and said, "I still have one more problem."


    Zhuge Yu looked at Luo Jun, frowned slightly, and then smiled and said, "Please speak."


    Luo Jun said: "I want to know what is the combat effectiveness of Huangquan City''s supernatural response technology? After all, what we are going to fight against is unknown strangeness. If you encounter trouble, can you ask them for help?"


    Zhuge Yu was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "Huangquan City is also a big city in [Spiritual]. The supernatural response department here is not small in scale, but in this situation, it should be difficult to divide the combat power to help us non-governmental organizations."


    "The headquarters will always keep some experts in charge, right?" Luo Jun smiled and said, "When there is an emergency, I will run to their headquarters."


    Hearing this question, Zhuge Su couldn''t help but stare at Luo Jun for a second, then sighed slightly and replied, "Actually, the combat power of the [Supernatural] practitioner is not as powerful as you imagine."


    "The world has some problems in its research on the cultivation system. Within the knowledge they understand, there are only five levels of the foundation and the Peiyuan Realm." Zhuge Suo explained.


    "It is speculated that the [Supernatural] world is more dependent on the ability to cohese the mind in order to deal with the spirit body, so it is more eager to break through the mind state than the practitioners in other worlds, and is not very concerned about the cultivation of Guzhu and Peiyuan. After reaching the fifth level, the difficulty of the breakthrough of Guzhu and Peiyuan has increased greatly. In addition, people in the [Supernatural] world are naturally relatively weak in roots, but their spirituality is generally higher than the main world, which leads to the backlash of the failure of breakthroughs that is extremely serious, and every breakthrough is at risk of life. Therefore, after a large number of practitioners died in the breakthroughs of the fifth to sixth level, they came to the conclusion that the sixth level is impossible to succeed. This is the basis written in textbooks. For many years, I have thought that few people would use their lives to try to violate taboos."


    "So this leads to the fact that although the practitioners in the [Supernatural] world are very good at dealing with monsters of various spirits, they lack the ability to fight against physical monsters, and their foundation is not as solid as ours."


    As he said that, Zhuge Yu looked at Luo Jun: "Are you satisfied with this answer?"


    Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Thank you Professor Zhuge for your patient answer. I think I know what to do."
