87: Chapter 87 Everyone Closes Their Eyes? No, Technology Changes Vision

"Team One in position."

"Team Two in position."

The voices coming over the radio were terrifyingly calm, completely devoid of the abyssal fear from three minutes ago.

The operation leader held his gun, staring intently through the digital screen of his goggles at the figure going berserk in the ruins ahead.

Just a few minutes ago, that was a terrifying meme that would cause one's sanity to plummet and lead to instant death with just a single glance.

But now?

The leader's mouth twitched.

In the center of his vision, a gigantic, pink and tender Hello Kitty was waving its short, chubby arms and hopping on the wreckage of the overturned police car.

It opened its mouth, which should have been a shriek capable of shattering eardrums.

"Meow~"

A soft, sweet cat meow, processed by real-time voice modulation, came through the headset.

Even its originally hollow and terrifying eyes had been thoughtfully replaced by the AI with two large, watery, black eyes that blinked along with its movements.

Fear?

Non-existent.

Now the leader just wanted to go over, pet its head, and then give it a few bursts of gunfire.

"Fire!"

At the leader's command, it was no longer blind shooting, but precise bursts.

This time, all the Special Police opened their eyes wide, aiming their sights at the monster's head without any hesitation.

No one died.

No one was erased by that incomprehensible rule.

"It's effective! The Bureau Chief's plan is effective!"

A team member shouted excitedly, as his riot gun spat tongues of fire.

As long as the brain determines that what it sees is not that face, the rule will not be triggered.

This is technology's dimension-reduction fraud against metaphysics.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

The Hello Kitty in the ruins seemed to be enraged; it jumped wildly from side to side, trying to find those who were "staring" at it.

But in its perception logic, no one around was looking at it.

Everyone was wearing specially made goggles, and on the level of the rules, these people were all "blind."

It couldn't find a target for its hatred, so it could only fly around like a headless fly, raging helplessly in place and twisting the surrounding street lamp poles into pretzels.

"All units take note, the target has lost its hate target and is now causing indiscriminate destruction."

Gu Changan's voice cut into the channel, still with that reassuring coldness, "Don't waste bullets on it; physical kinetic energy cannot kill it. Use special equipment."

"Activate Plan B: High-viscosity quick-drying foam rounds."

"Received!"

A dozen Special Police wearing heavy riot gear rushed forward, their weapons already switched to large engineering launchers.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Muffled firing sounds rang out one after another.

Dozens of white shells arced through the air, accurately hitting the Hello Kitty.

The warheads exploded, and the moment the compressed polymer compounds inside made contact with the air, their volume expanded over a thousand times.

The white foam instantly submerged the monster like a tsunami.

These were not ordinary foam, but industrial-grade quick-drying adhesive used for repairing aircraft carrier decks. Its hardness after solidifying was comparable to concrete, and its stickiness was enough to jam even tank treads.

"Roar——!"

A muffled roar came from beneath the foam. The monster struggled desperately, but under this fluid-like, all-pervading restraint, its speed advantage was completely gone.

The layers of foam hardened rapidly, wrapping it into a huge white snowball, with only a pink cat head left exposed, still shaking unwillingly.

In a dark alley a hundred meters away, Zhao Feng's eyes were almost popping out.

He gripped the mossy wall so hard that his fingernails broke and bled without him even noticing.

"This... how is this possible?!"

His mind was a blank slate; he couldn't understand anything happening before his eyes at all.

Those police were clearly opening their eyes!

They were clearly staring straight at the face of Containment Object-096!

According to the rules, their heads should have exploded like rotten watermelons by now!

Why?

Why didn't that monster rush over and tear them to shreds? Instead, it was playing in the mud like an idiot on the spot?

"System! Is there a bug? Is what you gave me really the genuine Containment Object?!"

Zhao Feng roared frantically in his mind, questioning that damned redemption interface.

[Ding! System detects everything is normal. All stats of the Containment Object are at their Peak state.]

"Normal, my ass! It's being played like a monkey!"

Zhao Feng was furious and frustrated. Looking at the monster wrapped up like a dumpling, a sense of absurdity welled up.

His pride and joy, the rule-level meme weapon, that supposedly unsolvable killing machine, was now like a broken ragdoll tossed into a trash can.

"No... it's not over yet..."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Zhao Feng's eyes. He slammed another button on the panel, "As long as it doesn't die, even if it's trapped, it can break free! This foam can't hold it for long!"

He bet correctly.

Crack!

A crisp sound. A huge crack appeared on the surface of the white foam ball.

The Containment Object lunged out, its terrifying power directly blasting away the surrounding solidified foam.

It was a monster that could ignore even deep-sea pressure; how could mere glue completely Seal it?

As long as it was given time, even if a mountain were pressed on it, it could slowly dig through!

However, Gu Changan had no intention of giving it time.

"A trapped beast continues to fight."

Inside the command vehicle, Gu Changan looked at the Hello Kitty breaking out of its shell on the screen and put down his thermos.

He pressed a red button on the desktop, and the fingerprint verification passed.

"Authorize deployment of space-based weapons. Activate the space anchor."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four loud noises sounded like thunder.

It wasn't missiles falling from the sky, but four thick black metal pillars, each stuck in the north, south, east, and west positions around the monster, deeply embedded in the asphalt road.

The runes on the surface of the metal pillars lit up instantly; they were the product of the Fusion of the Formation Gu Changan had seized from the cultivation side and modern high-magnetic technology.

Zzzzt——Four ghostly blue high-energy electric arcs connected instantly, forming a cubic light cage with sides of five meters, locking the monster tightly in the middle.

The monster slammed into the light barrier, emitting a sizzling sound like roasting meat, and was bounced back by the massive recoil.

It became even more violent, the frequency of its impacts too fast for the naked eye to discern, and the entire light cage was trembling violently.

"Physical means really cannot kill it."

Gu Changan straightened his cuffs, pushed open the car door, and strode toward the battlefield.

At this moment, Wangfujing Pedestrian Street was a mess, and the air was filled with the smell of glue and ozone.

He stopped ten meters away from the light cage, and the surrounding Special Police quickly cleared a path for him.

Gu Changan took a palm-sized metal cube out of his pocket.

The surface of the cube was covered with complex and precise patterns, glowing with a cold, silver-gray luster.

This was a derivative product of the blueprints he had seized last time when he destroyed the base of the host of that "StarCraft System" — [Individual Spatial Folding Cage (One-time use)].

The principle is simple: since I can't kill you, I will fold up your coordinates in this dimension.

I will throw you into an interdimensional crack with no time, no space, and nothing at all.

It's like cutting an ink blot off a piece of paper and throwing it into the trash can.

"According to the 'Criminal Law' and 'Special Biological Management Regulations'."

Gu Changan watched the Hello Kitty still frantically slamming into the wall inside the light cage, his tone like he was reading a common document, "In view of your urinating and defecating everywhere, causing noise disturbances, and being too unsightly to the city's appearance."

"You are sentenced to life imprisonment. Deprivation of political rights for life."

Click.

He pressed the activation button in the center of the metal cube and tossed it into the air.

The cube disintegrated in mid-air, instantly turning into a pitch-black vortex.

That was a real black hole.

The surrounding light twisted instantly, and even sound was swallowed up.

The monster inside the light cage seemed to sense a great terror that made it tremble instinctively; it stopped slamming and huddled in the corner, shivering.
