The Monster User Doesn't Want to Become the Ultimate Lifeform

Just like the telepathy mentioned earlier, it seems to perfectly solve the communication problems caused by evacuation, but if thousands of people call or ask for help from others through telepathy at the same time, the result will probably only make the chaos worse.

Discover loopholes, summarize and generalize, improve strategies, discover loopholes again, summarize and generalize again, and improve strategies again. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a cycle like this.

“Technology is important, but the fundamental problem lies with people – and this will never change.”

Walking all the way to the park where there were few people, Barona pulled Bakara to sit on the bench and spoke with certainty.

Looking at her like this, Lin Zhun nodded.

However, just when he was about to put the last spoonful of ice cream in the plastic cup into the other person's mouth, Barona seemed to feel that this would hinder her from speaking, so she habitually dodged.

This caused the scoop of white ice cream to fall and land on her chest.

"woo"

A sudden chill made Barona utter some seductive sounds, and her previous serious look disappeared instantly, while the corners of her mouth curled up in a subtle arc.

Chapter 220 Man-made Panic (Part 1)

As for what lobster-flavored ice cream tastes like, only those who have tried it know it. For those who haven’t tried it, there’s nothing you can do.

Of course, it was just ice cream.

However, just when the three of them were about to return home, some unexpected situation occurred.

In the originally harmonious city, a huge monster appeared in front of people without any warning.

There was no shaking of the earth, nor any meteorites falling from the sky, it was as if it suddenly appeared there.

The figure, which seemed to be censored and dozens of meters tall, appeared in front of many passers-by.

"Monster! It's a monster!"

"Everyone, run!"

"Call the Victory Team!"

At this moment, the originally peaceful and harmonious streets were instantly replaced by panic, and the people around rushed to escape to the distance or to places they thought were safe.

Although when people looked again, the monster had disappeared, as if it had never existed, and many people had never seen the monster in the first place, the streets were already filled with panic.

Looking at the place where the monster appeared and disappeared, Barona frowned.

Although it was difficult to tell what the monster that only appeared for a moment looked like, whether it was because the sunlight was too strong or because it appeared for too short a time, she was very sure of what had appeared there just now.

"Analysis: The target's appearance duration is 0.34 seconds. The image is blurry, with no mass or heat response, and no magnetic field change."

"phantom?"

Barona frowned as she listened to the information scanned by Bakara.

Judging from all the information, the thing that just appeared was just a low-quality artificial projection. The only thing I don't understand is why such a thing was created? Was it just to scare people?

Barona then turned her gaze to Lin Jun who was standing next to her, but the latter just shook his head.

Regarding the illusion that lasted for less than half a second, he sensed no more than Bakara.

Neither life fluctuations nor spiritual fluctuations appeared. Although it cannot be said that they completely do not exist, it can only slightly confirm that something seemed to exist just now.

——If you have to say it, it is probably something that has the conditions for birth but has not yet been born.

"Forget it, just leave it alone for now."

After taking a final look at the place where the monster disappeared, whose image quality was extremely blurry, Lin Jun shook his head at the two people beside him. After reporting to the headquarters, he participated in the work of comforting the people.

Although Barona and Bakara were a little concerned about what happened, they didn't ask any further when they saw him like this.

As expected, a moment later, Victory Swallow 1 and Victory Swallow 2 appeared over the city.

However, no matter how hard the two fighter jets searched, they could not find the monster described in the report by the masses.

"That's really weird. Where did the monster go?"

In the operations room, Lina, who got off the plane, looked confused.

Chapter 221 Man-made Panic (Part 2)

"There's been a rumor about a fantasy monster circulating the internet lately. I think someone got so frightened that they mistook a cloud or something for a monster. Then, after hearing about the monster, other people also panicked and mistook the cloud for a monster."

This is indeed a very reasonable inference at first glance, but it only sounds reasonable.

To be honest, there are still some big loopholes.

"Come to think of it, weren't you nearby at the time? Did you see anything?"

As Xincheng said this, everyone present turned their eyes to the person who was forced to end his vacation.

Lin Zhun hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "I saw a shadow at that time."

"shadow?"

"Yes, a very blurry shadow, and it disappeared in less than half a second."

"Could it be that you saw it wrong?"

"No, although I can't see the specific image clearly, I can be very sure that it is definitely not my illusion."

Lin Zhun's decisive words made the scene once again plunged into a somewhat delicate atmosphere.

As comrades, they are willing to trust each other's judgment, especially when Lin Zhun's judgment is often very accurate, but the problem is that it is also a fact that you can't find evidence of the existence of monsters.

—The Victory Team is all about science, especially when it comes to something as big as a monster.

So far, there are no victims, no images or other evidence to prove that the monster actually exists, and even then, it is limited to verbal descriptions. Anyway, this fact is very difficult to deal with.

In short, until Dagu, who had gone to treat his pollen allergy, returned to the war room, no one had come to a conclusion.

The case, which was originally planned to be handed over to the police department in order to avoid exacerbating public unrest, had to be temporarily changed to pending, and the team leader, Kei Iruma, was also called away by a phone call, so the meeting had to be interrupted halfway.

In many ways, this case is quite difficult to handle.

However, when the meeting was declared over, Lin Jun took the opportunity to eat dinner and walked out of the war room, but the direction he went was not the restaurant, but the rooftop of the TPC base.

"Finally you're here, kid. Don't meet up here next time. It's damn cold here at night!"

Jingjian Guangguo, who had been blowing in the cold wind on the rooftop for a long time, looked at Lin Jun who was walking slowly towards him and couldn't help complaining.

Of course, complaints are complaints, but this place also has one advantage, which is that it is hidden enough and has good sound insulation.

Even if one wanted to install some kind of eavesdropping device, the sea breeze would make the sound unclear.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. By the way, it seems like you chose this place, right?"

Lin Jun made a begging gesture, then handed a bottle of hot milk he had bought on the road to Jingjian Guangguo.

"So how's the investigation that I asked you to do earlier, Aguo, going?"

""

After drinking a few sips of hot milk, a complicated expression appeared on Shizuma Mitsukuni's face.

"——I can only say that it is difficult to handle."

It would be a miracle if investigating a staff officer were easy!

Chapter 222 Investigation (Part 1)

I encountered a superior who was parachuted in by chance, but no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't get along with him.

2——The above point is probably what a considerable number of people in the Intelligence Bureau think of Staff Officer Tatemura.

"It's a good thing you were promoted to the Victory Team a long time ago. Let me tell you, that guy transferred from Europe is really annoying."

In the past six months since the disbandment, Jingjian Guangguo and his team have complained to Lin Jun many times about the matter of Licun Staff.

Of course, this does not mean that Licun Advisor is an incompetent person who got promoted by selling ditches or using connections.

In terms of talent and management ability, although he cannot be said to be perfect, there is indeed nothing to complain about. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a capable person.

Wu - But the problem is that this guy's words and actions are really unpleasant.

First of all, it must be acknowledged that the argument that "the Giant of Light cannot be relied upon" has always existed, both within TPC and among the public.

This is understandable. After all, the origins of the two giants are too mysterious no matter what, and this uncertainty makes it difficult for people to be completely at ease. What's more, self-reliance is never wrong, so there is nothing too worth mentioning about this point in itself.

However, among them, Staff Officer Tatemura was clearly the one who went too far.

On January 1, 2015, he promoted the conspiracy theory of Tiga, and on February 1, 2016, he belittled Nexus.

After that, on Sunday, I will make up a story that Ja Gorgon is a vicious monster that intends to destroy the world and eliminate mankind. This is true.

Although these are just some private remarks made by the village counselors, they will make people very unhappy over time.

Apart from anything else, quite a few people on the TPC side have experience fighting alongside Tiga and Nexus, and even many people or their families have survived because of the appearance of the two.

It is precisely because of this that some of the words spoken by Staff Officer Tichura are quite irritating.

Not to mention that this guy sometimes likes to brag about elitism. Although these are also some private remarks, they are quite annoying.

"But after all, that guy Licun is a staff officer. Why would you really go against him?"

After drinking the warm milk, Jingjian Guangguo felt much better and said with some worry.

He didn't think that his good friend was an ambitious person, but after all, choosing to take action against a staff officer this time, even an unpopular staff officer like Licun, was really worrying.

However, Lin Zhun shook his head helplessly: "I wouldn't want to do this if I could, but that Licun guy really crossed the line this time."

"Crossing the line? What do you mean?"

"Aguo, have you heard of the imaginary monster that's been circulating lately?"

"An imaginary monster? Is that the one rumored to appear with the sun but disappear immediately after it appears?"

Mitsukuni Shizuma immediately thought of the rumors that had appeared recently from nowhere.

To be honest, ever since monsters and aliens became active, there have been more and more urban legends like these, but this is the first time that they have spread as widely as they do now.

Even during the time of Obik, the news did not spread so quickly, which is enough to prove something.

Chapter 223 Investigation (Part 2)

"And what's even worse is that the monster they fabricated is about to become real."

"Huh? Wait, what does that mean? Isn't that a rumor?"

"It was originally a rumor, but unfortunately, now this rumor may become true. At least I actually saw it."

The power of the mind is extremely powerful, but also extremely dangerous.

On the bright side, it could be possible to use the Flash to kill all the giant snails in the Pacific Ocean without leaving even ashes. But on the other hand, it could also be possible to make a monster that didn't exist become a reality because of fear and panic.

In a sense, this is a replica of the negative energy monster.

“This matter is really difficult to handle.”

Hearing Lin Jun's words, Jingjian Guangguo couldn't help but click his tongue. The situation Lin Jun described was much more complicated than he had initially thought.

"But forget it. Let me first tell you about my investigation. There are no results."

"No, what do you mean by no results?"

"That's exactly what it says. I previously looked up the Intelligence Bureau's recent covert operations schedule. While I'm certain that Staff Officer Tatemura is doing something in secret, it's hard to say what exactly it is. Furthermore, the person in charge is his trusted confidant from Europe."

In other words, there is no evidence.

But this is understandable. Using the fear of monsters to make people obey orders, this kind of thing combined with some high-sounding words of "it's for your own good" may sound okay at first, but if Director Sawai and Chief Yoshitsugu find out, you'll be in trouble.

Therefore, Licun’s idea is very simple, that is, to do it secretly first, and then report it after the results are achieved. In this way, it will not be a stain but a credit.

——I can only say that this guy has a good idea, but that’s all he has.

"Can you find evidence that he's spreading rumors? If this continues, I'm afraid the monster will materialize soon."

"It's a bit troublesome, but it's not a big deal. I might need some cooperation from your Victory Team."

After taking a deep breath, Mitsukuni Shizuma nodded.

Although Chief of Staff Tatemura did consider hiding his hands and feet when doing this, if he really wanted to do it perfectly, he would not have used his power to stop the investigation.

1 Not to mention that until now, Chief of Staff Tatemura has been letting people continue to spread those rumors.

In this case, given Shizuma Mitsukuni's abilities and connections, it would just be a bit more troublesome to investigate.

Lin Zhun nodded in agreement. As for cooperation, if he really had to sit there and do nothing, he wouldn't be able to sit still.

Chapter 224: Licun, you've been caught! (Part 1)

Hey, Iruma Hui has been feeling very heavy and complicated in recent days.
