The Method (Making Up for Yesterday)

Li Yao took the two detailed documents of "Containment Item" from Fu Qinghua and began to read them.

—— Containment Item S-0091: Record Text Eraser.

Related description: This is an eraser that looks no different from an ordinary eraser. [Using this item will cause normal wear and tear; the text it erases is not limited to text written with graphite or ink.] Effect: By erasing the facts recorded on paper, the corresponding person or event can be eliminated.

Negative Effects: While erasing the corresponding person or event, the holder will also randomly erase a part of themselves. (This could be a memory, an emotion, or even a part of the body. Current observations suggest this erasure is random and follows no clear pattern.) Note ①: A test subject disappeared entirely after using this item to erase a secret event that needed to be sealed.

Containment method: This item does not exhibit any autonomous activity, but it seems to attract living beings to approach and use it. Therefore, it needs to be contained in a sealed environment to avoid unnecessary contact.

— Containment Item S-0056: Degradable soap.

Description: This is a soap that can continuously self-reproduce [the mechanism of which remains unknown], and it emits a captivating fragrance. Its surface appearance is indistinguishable from earlier soaps.

Special effects: The "soapy water" formed after soaking this item in water has a very strong degradation ability. In current attempts, its derivative S-0056-01, i. e. "soapy water", can degrade any known item [except water molecules]. After soaking the item in soapy water, it will continue to degrade over time until it becomes molecules or even atoms.

Negative effect: This item will continuously increase in value. When it doubles in value, the newly formed portion will detach from the main body and randomly appear at any location within a 500-meter radius of the main body. The fragrance it emits will tempt the holder to use it immediately.

Note ①: This item does not degrade moisture, and direct contact will not cause degradation.

Containment method: This item possesses a certain degree of autonomous activity and seductive properties; it must be immersed in water to continuously consume its multiplying organisms, and the container holding "S-0056-01" must be changed periodically before "Containment Item A-0003" is discovered.

The two reports in Li Yao's hands contained more than just this much information.

In addition to the basic information, there are numerous experimental cases and corresponding research reports.

The report includes not only the detection and analysis of the Containment Item, but also the possible reasons for their formation.

Most of the Containment Item are likely related to aliens, while a very small number are related to the fall and death of high-ranking aliens.

Upon their death, for various reasons, they transferred some of their abilities or attributes to certain objects, thus forming corresponding Containment Item.

In Li Yao's view,

These Containment Item are the product of the combination of matter, energy, and concepts.

Some of the Containment Item can even be considered alternative continuations of the Inhumans, such as the so-called "immortals" who ascended to heaven.

Such a being is being housed in the Containment Item 23 in Sichuan.

After reading the report in his hand, Li Yao asked, "When will these two Containment Item arrive at the Phoenix Legion camp?"

Fu Qinghua: "The procedures for retrieving Containment Item are very complicated and troublesome, and the fastest it can be done is three days later."

Li Yao nodded. "Besides using Containment Item, what other methods do we have?"

Fu Qinghua picked up another report and said, "Yes. You mentioned before that this type of substance is highly resistant to Spirit Energy... oh, I mean spiritual power. However, saturation kinetic energy attacks can effectively strike this substance, so we have formulated the following solutions."

The first option is to bombard the substance with high-power electrical energy! Although electrical energy is widely referred to as a form of energy, this is actually a common misconception.

In our daily lives, the use of electric current involves electrons doing work on specific objects through a circuit.

The most obvious example is the incandescent light bulb.

It is an object that uses resistance to heat a thin filament to incandescence to emit light when an electric current passes through a conductor. The outer shell of the light bulb is made of glass, and the filament is kept in a vacuum or under a low-pressure inert gas environment. This is to prevent the filament from oxidizing at high temperatures, thereby extending its lifespan.

Electric current is essentially a fundamental particle with a negative charge! Bombarding this substance with high-power, high-voltage current may be effective in killing it!

The drawback is that it's unknown whether the material conducts electricity.

The second option is to use neutron bombs to radiate and bombard it, or even to confine the neutron flow and repeatedly crush it.

A neutron bomb is a low-yield, small hydrogen bomb whose primary destructive power is high-energy neutron radiation. It was developed based on the hydrogen bomb and uses the large number of neutrons produced during hydrogen fusion to cause damage. The damage to buildings and other structures caused by the neutron flux spreading outward is negligible.

Because of their extremely small size, they can penetrate objects like X-rays, directly killing living organisms! Neutron flux can alter the protein structure within living organisms, rendering them inactive! Fu Qinghua summarized. "Personally, I prefer the latter. Neutrons are uncharged elementary particles with strong penetrating power and large mass. High-dose radiation is like a particle-level shotgun repeatedly bombarding matter!"

Think about it...

It's even a bit cruel? After reading the reports submitted by everyone, Li Yao immediately made the decision. "Then let's start preparing for the test!"

Li Yao demonstrated exceptional efficiency in handling matters entrusted to him by his best friend, and he immediately led everyone to the Research and Development Building.

The advanced space equipment had been fully deployed and stood quietly in the Research and Development Building. When Li Yao led Fu Qinghua, Guo Changshi, and the others to the Elemental Demi-Plane and saw the cluster of prismatic crystal pillars, their attention was immediately drawn to them! Although they were all scholars, they must have some cultivation to survive in the realm of supernatural beings.

With their exceptional inspiration, keen observation skills, and keen inquisitive mind, they quickly discovered the extraordinary nature of those crystal pillars! Guo Changshi was a Weapon Refinement who, after years of contact with various spiritual materials, had an instinctive sensitivity to such substances. The entire area before them was filled with highly spiritual and specially crafted equipment!

He looked at Li Yao, his eyes filled with utter terror. "Where did you get this thing?"

Inside a high-level spatial artifact was a group of special crystal pillars! And they were things they'd never even heard of before! Where did this kid get so many amazing items? Li Yao laughed upon hearing Guo Dazhao's question, "You forgot? I'm from the Qingyun Sect!"

Guo Changshi: "..."

Everyone: "..."

This chapter is a make-up for yesterday's. This stuff is so hardcore, it gave me a headache to write... and unfortunately, most people probably don't like it. Okay, my bad, sorry! I hope you enjoy reading it...
