Chapter 1938 - 1052: Containment

Chapter 1938: Chapter 1052: Containment

Tao Yu’s words could be said to cast a shadow of pessimism over everyone present.

Do we still have to find a flaw and then contain it?

Yet from Tao Yu’s composure and his apparent knowledge of the situation, one of the calmer hostages quickly spoke up with a question.

“I know a little about the strange occurrences too, but this is my first encounter. I used to think it was just rumors. What should we do now? Does the Little Duke have any good ideas?”

“Now that the top-layer robbers are gone, can we call for outside support?”

“Yes, yes, the officials should have a way to handle this, right?”

“…”

Among the crowd were some who had heard about the bizarre phenomena and were now only thinking about resolving it.

“Are we to be taken out so we can infect others? What do you think they will do once they know the spreading rules?”

Tao Yu’s calm words plunged the scene into silence.

In fact, compared to other insoluble anomalies, this one in front of us has a relatively traditional quick solution, which is to kill all the infected and eradicate the source. Perhaps by then, we could successfully capture the entity itself.

But this approach is handling the issue on a macro scale, from the larger picture.

Yet for those who need to be dealt with here, it is absolutely unacceptable!

“Little Duke, please, you must have a way, right?”

“I don’t want to die!”

“So scary!”

“…”

Chaos and despair permeated the exhibition hall.

A group of people pressed their backs against the wall or lay on the ground in fear, yet still voiced pessimistic remarks, making the atmosphere painfully awkward.

Many pinned their hopes on Tao Yu.

Initially, during the chaos, they didn’t quite react, but as the doctor pointed out Tao Yu, saying he spoiled their plans,

People started linking the earlier internal strife among the armed men with the possibility that this Little Duke possesses a similar ability!

That doctor’s earlier claim that the Little Duke took the inheritance by using some ability was possibly not unfounded.

Everything begins to make sense!

But at this moment, they certainly wouldn’t dwell on whether Tao Yu used unorthodox means to seize his title. They’re thinking about how to survive and get out!

“Since this anomaly can be carried by the doctor, it is obviously containable, with specific breaking rules. We just need to be careful to find the pattern; for now, avoiding being seen is enough.”

This anomaly isn’t very strong; the ghostly realm has yet to form. Tao Yu has already parsed its path through magic analysis and now headed towards the doctor’s fallen body, gazing at the odd head on the ground, and nudged it with his foot.

Sure enough, as Tao Yu nudged it, the head’s eyes moved and happened to see a person who hadn’t died after being shot when trying to ambush Chen Jiaju earlier.

Just by glancing at him, even though this person’s back was already against the ground, he let out a series of screams.

“Pain! It’s so painful! Ah!”

Then with a splat, all his internal organs oozed out from his back, leaving him unquestionably dead.

The sudden death of yet another person caused panic to ripple through the audience.

Even protecting one’s back still leads to death?

But before the panic could spread, Tao Yu raised his eyebrows.

“It’s not too hard to deal with.”

He then pulled out a large gold foil.

Refining gold at Hogwarts with the Magic Stone had equipped Tao Yu with a ton of it, carried with a magical artifact container.

Once this gold foil wrapped around the doctor’s head, the itch everyone felt on their back instantly dissipated.

“Huh?”

“It’s not itchy anymore!”

“It’s really that simple!”

“The Little Duke is amazing! It’s all resolved!”

People in the crowd began realizing the problem, reached for their backs, and found the original raised wrinkles no longer moved.

With so many deaths already here, initial terror was due to the unknown, worried they’d follow the same fate.

Now that the symptoms vanished, they quickly forgot about the unlucky ones who perished earlier.

One by one, they all showed a sense of gratitude for escaping with their lives.

“Little Duke, can we get up now?”

“I think you can, but there might still be a faint residual strange aura. When you shower, be sure there’s no one nearby. Generally wearing clothing should be fine, and if you don’t have any underlying health issues, being seen briefly shouldn’t be fatal.”

Tao Yu uttered casually.

Although it appeared simple to solve this incident, it was only because he analyzed the source and contained it with gold.

Starting from zero intelligence, finding the doctor’s fallen head would have taken some effort, and potentially cost more lives during testing.

“Your Grace, I cordially invite you to stay at my home for a few days.”

An eldest young master quickly spoke up after realizing there might be some lingering trace of the anomaly.

“Me too, me too.”

“Don’t compete with me.”

“No need to worry, you don’t have to take it to heart. It should pass in less than a week.”

With the source in my hands, naturally, there’s no problem.

“Alright, try to notify the outside. There are still some armed men on the first floor who need to be handed over to the Flying Tiger Team, and apparently, there’s some explosives planted in the hotel….”

But with the trigger on the doctor, this threat is gone, making the cleanup job much simpler.

Chen Jiaju immediately used the on-site radio, tuned into the police frequency, and began reporting the situation….
