Chapter 1280: Chapter 67: Supernatural Event Prevention Center
“Any abnormal phenona discovered in Shannan Province? … No? … Okay, understood. Continue monitoring and report any developnts imdiately.”
“Discovered in Jiangdong Province? Specific location and scale? … Received, mark it on the map imdiately, and increase the monitoring level.”
“What? The nightti visibility is too low for accurate ground investigation? Then find a way! Deploy drones, initiate infrared scanning, coordinate with local related departnts! In any case, I want the most detailed results possible in the shortest ti!”
Inside the command room of the Supernatural Event Prevention Center, the lights were blazing, and the atmosphere was so tense it seed like it could drip water. The center’s director, Director Wang, stood in front of the gigantic command table, continuously issuing orders into his earpiece. His voice sounded hoarse from prolonged shouting and stress, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Ard guards, looking solemn, were conducting tight security at every entrance and critical passage of the command center. Their eyes were sharp like eagles, scanning every person going in and out, ensuring absolute safety and order in the place.
In the core area of the command hall, dozens of scientists and technical staff in white lab coats were working intensively. They were focused on the screens in front of them, where data continuously refreshed, and their hands flew over the keyboards, urgently analyzing, comparing, and modeling the anomalous data reported from various locations and captured by satellite remote sensing… Throughout the spacious hall, aside from the sound of orders being issued and the clatter of keyboards, there was only the low hum of instrunt operations, filling the air with a palpable tension and pressure.
In just a few hours, not only all over Hua Country, reports of large-scale anomalous plant wilting and death poured in from the borders to the hinterlands, from the northern country to the southern frontiers.
Moreover, according to information shared through international intelligence channels, similar bizarre events that defy existing scientific theories also occurred in other major countries and regions around the world.
On various short video platforms and social dia, a large number of videos and images about widespread mysterious plant deaths, abnormal animal behaviors, and temporary, localized climate disruptions were already appearing, drawing widespread public attention and a certain degree of unease. It could be said that this was a sudden, nationwide, and even worldwide synchronous supernatural event!
Although no direct casualties or major property incidents had occurred thus far, this bizarre phenonon, beyond comprehension, massively scaled and synchronous, undoubtedly had everyone in the Supernatural Event Prevention Center on edge.
anwhile, amidst their tension, many senior mbers were faintly feeling a sense of “it’s finally here” excitent and a trace of bittersweet relief deep down—this special departnt, established for years, always in a highly confidential state and aid at dealing with such events, was finally truly useful, although they wished that day would never co.
On the most prominent wall of the command center, there hung a gigantic LCD screen. What appeared on it was not the usual satellite cloud map or geographic image but a special monitoring image of both Hua Country and the global scope. This image had a dark blue base, representing the normal background environnt. However, at this mont, it was covered with countless abnormal patches, from dark red to pale white, like stains spreading, and twisted whirlpool patterns ford as if stirred by an invisible force.
These patches and patterns were still moving and changing slowly, alive, giving an intensely twisted visual sensation.
This was a live display from a device nad “Spiritual Radiance,” an energy wave fluctuation monitor.
Ever since the ga “Old Soil” entered the sight of national departnts, and they began systematic contact and research into the “players” and their extraordinary abilities evident within the ga, scientists had unexpectedly discovered and confird a special energy field that had never been detected by modern scientific instrunts before during player casting and cultivation.
In the official scientific report, this energy was temporarily nad “positive energy,” taking the aning of “energy currently being recognized.” However, privately, many staff mbers influenced by online literature or with keen intuition preferred to call it “Spiritual Energy”—a substance or energy field that seed ubiquitously present in natural environnts, living organisms, and even microscopic particles, forming a foundational background transcending the existing physical system.
The reason it went undiscovered throughout the long history of scientific exploration was largely due to the lack of corresponding observation theories and guiding samples. Until scientists began to conduct targeted high-precision monitoring of the energy changes in the environnt around players casting skills, it was like breaking through a thin layer of window paper, unexpectedly capturing and defining the existence of “Spiritual Energy.”
Since the public test of “Old Soil,” one of the core missions of the Supernatural Event Prevention Center was to concentrate top research forces to conduct thorough investigation and analysis of this newly discovered energy and attempt to master the thods of utilizing and defending against this energy.
Now, three years later, thanks to the valuable data and samples provided by nurous players (especially magic profession professional players) voluntarily cooperating in the research, the center has achieved several breakthrough results in this area. The “Spiritual Radiance” monitor before us, capable of observing the distribution and fluctuation of Spiritual Energy across the entire Earth on a macro scale via special satellite sensors, is one of the most important achievents.
