Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 9 Surprise!

Things are worse than I thought.

Bai Jingyu flipped through the photos, and as time went by, his expression grew increasingly grim.

These photos were extracted by ASH from video data collected by robots, and it believed that Bai Jingyu needed to see them.

Advertisements for interstellar migration, graffiti insulting the government, lifelike portraits, and newspapers containing photos of infected individuals.
Every photo is shocking.

What exactly happened in the future? How did the world become like this?
After looking at the photos, Bai Jingyu remained silent for a long time before softly asking, "What's your conclusion?"

“The disaster is not limited to Jiuchuan; it has affected the entire world, to the point that people have had to migrate to outer space,” ASH replied without hesitation.

"Do you think those monsters we encountered yesterday could become a global catastrophe?" Bai Jingyu frowned.

ASH replied, "If the core remains intact, the monster can revive, but based on that alone, the possibility of it becoming a world-class disaster is zero."

Bai Jingyu thought so too.

Hisakawa City could easily defeat those monsters, let alone the four major nations that formed the Coastal Alliance.

The Hela Empire has even mastered controlled nuclear fusion and built spaceships.

With just this kind of monster, at most it can bully some small, peripheral countries; no matter how many there are, it's impossible for it to destroy the world.

At this point, ASH changed the subject: "Based on the biological samples we have so far, this monster has broken through the limitations of oxygen content on its size."

"This means that there may be unprecedentedly large individuals among them."

"Ordinary individuals can be resurrected, and super-giant individuals are very likely to inherit this ability."

"And on this basis, other capabilities can be developed, such as bioelectromagnetic pulses for technological products."

ASH's tone turned somber.

"If this hypothesis is correct, the probability of monster populations becoming a global catastrophe will rise from zero to one percent!"

Bai Jingyu pursed his lips.

The change from zero to one percent is small, but it means that the monster has the potential to defeat Hisakawa City and the Coastal League.

Significant!

Suddenly, he remembered the giant vines he had seen when he first entered the parallel universe.

They can break through reinforced concrete buildings; some are exceptionally tall, with their upper parts hidden in the clouds, at least three or four hundred meters high, like plants from mythology.

Bai Jingyu pulled out a photograph.

Hundreds of human statues lay supine on the ground, each dressed in clothes and shoes, their expressions filled with terror, as if they were experiencing something incredibly horrific.

What about this photo?

Bai Jingyu frowned: "Every statue is lifelike, some even have clothes and watches."

He had a feeling that these "statues" were more than just statues.

"The robot brought back some statue samples, and after laboratory testing, it was confirmed that the elements that make up the statue and their proportions are exactly the same as those of the human body."

ASH answered confidently: "Based on this judgment, they are human beings, or at least they were human beings."

Bai Jingyu fell silent.

ASH knew what Bai Jingyu wanted to know, and it said softly, "It's still unclear how humans are transformed into statues, but all the statues have their mouths open, which clearly means something is coming out of their bodies."

Bai Jingyu frowned.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he uttered a single word: "Soul?"

“From a rational and open-minded perspective, we cannot rule out the possibility of completely unknown phenomena,” ASH replied.

After a two-second silence, Bai Jingyu asked again, "Is there any good news?"

So far, all we've received is bad news, offering no help whatsoever in resisting the apocalypse.

"The disaster started with the spread of the virus. The laboratory is making a vaccine based on the collected samples of the pathogens, which is expected to be widely available before the disaster breaks out," ASH replied without hesitation.

Bai Jingyu nodded: "That's good, that's good news."

Bai Jingyu's gaze fell on the photograph.

What will happen in the future? What kind of disaster will humanity face? Can I stop it?

What kind of world will I leave to Yue Kui?
Oh, and there's also Yue Tian.

"The lab has made a new discovery. Would you like to go and take a look?"

"...Yue Kui, let's have dinner together tonight!"

"Come on, come on!"

Bai Yuetian blinked at the video, his eyes practically sparkling with electricity.

"You idiot, I really don't know how you managed to sneak into the Joint Police Department!" Bai Yuekui looked at Bai Yuetian, who was making a fool of himself, speechless.

She was really fed up with her brother. He was always so irresponsible, and yet he was supposed to be a rising star in the joint police department!

"Huh?" Bai Yuetian's mouth dropped open.

He retorted dramatically, "What do you mean by 'sneaking into the UN police department'? Can't you speak properly? I got in with the highest score!"

"Now you're the captain!"

Bai Yuekui rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "I know you're excellent, okay?"

"My teacher and I are going to hold a press conference in a while, so I'm extremely busy these days. I also have to do an experiment tonight. You can eat by yourself."

beep—

The video feed is off.

Bai Yuetian seemed to be deep in thought. He murmured, "Once Yue Kui finishes his press conference, he will be a world-renowned scientist. I can't fall behind."

"Chief Gray is about to retire, so if I give it my all, maybe..."

"Captain!" a policewoman patted Bai Yuetian on the shoulder. "Do you have time tonight?"

She looked shy.

Bai Yuetian smiled brightly: "Tonight isn't convenient, how about tomorrow night?"

"It's a deal!" the policewoman exclaimed, her face beaming with delight.

Bai Yuetian chuckled: "It's a deal!"

It's been a long time since I had dinner with my dad. I'll surprise him at his house tonight!

Bai Yuetian put on his helmet, twisted the accelerator, and headed straight for Bai Jingyu's villa.

A few minutes later, he appeared downstairs.

The lights were off upstairs.

"Still working? Being the mayor must be so busy!"

Bai Yuetian said seriously, "In that case, I will personally prepare a delicious meal to begin our father-son conversation!"

“ASH, open the door!” he shouted.

A gentle voice came from inside the door: "Welcome home, Yue Tian. Mayor Bai is in the laboratory. He'll come back to see you after he's finished dealing with his business."

"Tell him not to rush, it takes me some time to cook too," Bai Yuetian said dismissively.

Ding!
The courtyard gate opened, and two rows of fully armed robots came into Bai Yuetian's view.

"Did something happen?"

Bai Yuetian's smile vanished, and he frowned, his expression mirroring Bai Jingyu's.

"Mayor White is pushing for the AI ​​in Law Enforcement Act in the council, which has drawn considerable public opposition. This is all to ensure Mayor White's personal safety," ASH said casually.

"is it?"

Bai Yuetian keenly sensed something was wrong; he noticed the badge on the robot.

Hisakawa Defense!

These aren't security robots, they're soldier robots.

Two words make all the difference!
Is Dad's safety situation that serious? They've even deployed war robots. How come I haven't heard a thing about it at the UN police station?
"Moonlight, please come in," ASH said gently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened automatically.

The lights inside the door turned on one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the entire villa was brightly lit.

Never mind, I'll just ask Dad later.

Bai Yuetian suppressed his doubts and strode into the house, the door closing silently behind him.
