Odd Containment Specialist

"Last time you opened the time and space gate. After professional determination, combined with architectural style and some landscape clues, it is currently determined that it leads to the 16th century of the first branch. At that time, Grand Duke Rosa, the King of Night and Fire, had just The era of completing the reign and creating the Blood Dynasty, and the brand fragment obtained by opening the door should be on you, right?"

"I don't feel anything." Xia Shou shrugged.

Although the first brand fragment was indeed on his body, Xia Shou was telling the truth. If there was no prompt when he opened the door, he really didn't know what brand fragment he had obtained.

Shangguanyan smiled slightly, unscrewed the coffee can on the table and scooped a spoonful of powder into the teacup. Then she pressed the switch of the kettle. Amidst the buzzing sound of the kettle boiling water, she continued: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, when the time comes It’s clear who has the fragments on them, let me tell you about the value and use of the brand fragments first.”

"First of all, the branch brand fragment is a sign, which can be regarded as a kind of proof that you not only belong to the present, but also belong to the past. This is equivalent to giving you the power to bring abnormality from the past to the present."

"You can understand that the past and the present are two completely different time periods. The influence you received in the past cannot be brought back to reality. For example, if you traveled back to the 16th century, you were disturbed by a cult ritual and turned into a madman. Then as long as you step through the door of time and space and return to the present, the influence of the extraordinary on you will disappear. Unless you are frightened, you will still become a normal person, and all the experiences you have encountered in the past will be like A dream."

"Similarly, bad influences cannot be brought back to the present, and good influences cannot be brought back either. Even if you inherited the legacy of Grand Duke Rosa during the Blood Dynasty and gained some shocking extraordinary power, as long as you return to the present, these powers will will also disappear."

Hearing this, Xia Shou frowned: "Then how did the Control Bureau use the past to make profits?"

"The first method is to use various methods in the past to set up some kind of delayed weird phenomenon that is beneficial to the current management and control bureau, but set the activation time of the weird phenomenon this year, then when this time cycle ends Before, this weird phenomenon will always be in effect in today's reality," Shangguanyan said as he poured boiling water into the cup and started to sort out the information.

And Xia Shou keenly caught a point that he didn't understand: "Minister, you just said time loop. What does this mean?"

"The past time is constantly replayed. From this perspective, in fact, the past and present still share a time system. If you travel through the past period from the 16th to the 17th century, then it will follow the original history. "It develops from the beginning of the 16th century to the end of the 17th century and then jumps back to the beginning of the 16th century at the end, like a movie on a loop."

"Then we are the ones who travel into the movie and change the plot?"

"That's right, besides you, there will be other people who will travel through time into this movie. Some people will enter at the beginning of the movie because they have gained a huge first-mover advantage by knowing the development of the plot. Some people will enter during the movie screening. If you enter halfway through, your advantage will be smaller.

When a movie has just started to be released, the development of the plot is best guessed and completely faithful to the original work. However, in the middle, due to too many off-site interferences, the future development direction will become confusing, and it will become more complicated than a fan work. More confusion. "

After Shangguan Yan finished speaking, he specifically explained the key to the brand fragments.

"What I just mentioned is the first method, and the second method is to use brand fragments.

The use of branded fragments is not so troublesome. Each fragment can carry a part of the abnormality of the past and bring the extraordinary power of the past back to the present. This function sounds simple, but because it involves time, it is very powerful. "

"Hmm...for example?" Xia Shou asked in depth.

"To give you a simple example, the Spear of Destruction refined by Archduke Rosa using the blood sacrifices of tens of thousands of people contains terrifying destructive energy and has a very high priority of destroying living things. Coupled with the unsolvable law of cause and effect, it is listed as It is an abyss forbidden object above the super dangerous level.

But this forbidden object is gone now, because the anomalies contained in it have been used up by subsequent holders over the past few hundred years with the passage of time and constant use.

The Control Bureau recorded the last use record in 1900. The holder spent a lot of effort to supplement the long-lost causal hit law of the Spear of Destruction, and tried to use it to kill a level six monster.

What do you think the final result will be? "

"You said so, it must have failed."

"It seems that you are still listening carefully. Yes, it failed. In the end, it only left the sixth-level monster with unhealable and deteriorating injuries. It took a year to kill the monster. Since then, it has been shattered. The spear is completely broken and is now stored in the Kyoto branch. The abnormality level detection is only two levels, and the effect is to suck blood... or the blood of the person holding it. "

"Isn't this just a purely negative prop?" Xia Shou couldn't help but complain.

"It has indeed become a burden now, but it is undeniable that for a long time, it was the nightmare of all extraordinary people. The person who holds it is the God of War, no different from Odin holding Gungnir." Shangguan Yan took a sip of coffee and handed the compiled information to Xia Shou.

Xia Shou took the information and asked: "So I...so the person who has the brand fragment can bring back the Spear of Destruction in its heyday?"

"I just gave you an example to help you understand the power of the brand fragments, but you can't bring back an artifact with such an exaggerated abnormality as the Spear of Destruction, unless you don't have scattered fragments, but a large piece of brand fragments, or even a complete brand."

"Is that so..." Xia Shou sighed, his expression full of disappointment.

He thought he picked up a fist-sized piece of gold, but it turned out to be just a piece of brass.

"Don't show such a disappointed expression. No matter how small the fragments are, they can exert an exponential leverage effect if used well." Shangguan Yan smiled, "You have surpassed 99.9% of historical explorers in your possession of fragments."

"No, I may not have it yet, anyway, I don't feel anything." Xia Shou didn't fall for it.

Shangguan Yan chuckled and put down the coffee: "Now that the brand fragments have been explained clearly, it's time to talk about business. I have something for you to do.

In addition, there is another thing. A level 5 finisher wants your help. The director has approved her application for assistance."

"Is the second task dangerous?" Xia Shou asked cautiously.

Shangguan Yan nodded slowly: "It's very dangerous."

"Then can I refuse?"

"Of course, but if you complete it, the bureau will raise your request level to B.

You know, even the same level of finishers have different values ​​to the control bureau.

Finishers with similar strength, one is greedy for life and afraid of death, only willing to perform safe tasks, while the other obeys the orders of the control bureau unconditionally and can bet his life without hesitation.

Then the value of the former must be far lower than the latter, and the control bureau should naturally respond to the latter's request with the utmost sincerity.

Whether it is equipment support, personal enjoyment, or some very rare extraordinary objects, as long as your request level is high enough, the control bureau will do its best to satisfy you."

Shangguan Yan said temptingly.
