Chapter 1111: Chapter 165: Liquidator
The main function of the Calming Incantation is to stabilize emotions, allowing one to maintain a calm state.
Generally speaking, there arenât many opportunities to use this skill.
Only when newcomers just encountering Alien Species are on missions, and they need to maintain their best status, do they use this.
However, it can also come in handy at critical moments, like now.
As Dane and Remy performed the incantation, everyone present seemed to awake from a dream, recovering from the irritability they felt just moments ago.
âWhat⊠what happened to me just nowâŠâ
Dylan regained his senses and immediately realized his recent actions, turning to look at Dane.
âI deeply apologize, Your Excellency Michael, may I ask what just happened? Could it be⊠weâve all been infected by the Black Mountain GoatâŠ?â
Heâs not dull, quickly grasping the gist of the situation.
Dylan speculated that those White Devils probably underwent such a transformation process before becoming monsters.
However, Dane shook his head and said:
âItâs not an infection; you were just affected because you gazed upon its shadow and it disturbed your mind.â
âAh? What does that mean? Could it be that the Black Mountain Goat has other means of affecting us besides infection?â
âExactly.â
Dane affirmed:
âItâs not considered an infection; this should be seen as an interference. At present, we have yet to find the real cause.â
âFrom now on, it is crucial to prohibit the spread of information about the Black Mountain Goat, even images are not allowed. The fewer people who come into contact, the better!â
He pointed to the scout who still appeared in a hysterical rage, seemingly unaffected by the Calming Incantation.
âHe is too deeply affected and cannot recover temporarily. We need to isolate him before making further plans.â
Unlike those White Devils, the insanity of the likes of the scout soldiers is not simply due to proximity to the Black Mountain Goat.
The reason he became like this is because he spent too long gazing at that shadow, thus his mind was affected.
The reason sounds somewhat unbelievable, yet thatâs the reality.
Just from looking at that thing a few more times, one ends up going mad.
Initially, the Star Alliance couldnât figure out the reason at all.
Like Dylan and others, they also believed this was due to failing to evade the monsterâs influence range, producing signs of mutation.
Until later, when an observer across the ocean showed symptoms of emotional instability, they finally realized this could be another characteristic of the Black Mountain Goat.
No distance limitation is needed, just by witnessing its shadowâs form, whether through footage or photographs, one will gradually start to get lost and go mad.
Normal people might not exhibit significant abnormalities in a short space of time because they see less.
But itâs different for those observers.
They spend almost an entire day staring at images of the Black Mountain Goat to observe, thus becoming the most evident group to transform.
Fortunately, this transformation is not like the White Monster, being irreversible.
Itâs merely a change on an emotional level, which can be soothed using the Calming Incantation.
Even those observers with more severe symptoms will not face life threats for now, and the organization will treat them through psychological intervention.
This incident provided the people of Australia with a harsh lesson once again.
Fighting against Alien Species is far from being as simple as imagined.
Often when one assumes they understand them already, a more deadly blow strikes.
The defense line at Kandokreek Prairie is temporarily concluded, with only ongoing garrison and surveillance left.
As it stands, the presence of the Black Mountain Goat only affects a small area nearby.
Compared to the entirety of Australia, or even the entire world, this impact is negligible.
However, its truly terrifying aspect lies in its unknown nature.
Until the Black Mountain Goat officially descends, humanity remains unaware of what power it has.
Fortunately, the Star Alliance has prepared in response to this incident, and the support Dane mentioned arrived at the scene quickly.
âYour Excellency, Liquidator! Youâve come in person!â
Seeing the person standing before them, Dane couldnât help but show an excited expression on his face.
He was meditating inside just now when suddenly he sensed a powerful Dark Energy Fluctuation coming from outside, and, upon going out, he indeed found the organizationâs support had arrived.
Four figures stood outside Daneâs door amid the Dark Night.
They were all wearing Daring Clothes, with hoods shading their faces, their expressions undiscernible.
Remy also came upon hearing the news, saw the scene, and couldnât help but express joy:
âYour Excellency, Liquidator! Itâs really you leading the team! This will make things much easier for us!â
This elder, addressed as Liquidator by both, was one of the two main instructors from the Star AllianceâJannan Vasikar.
âLetâs go, letâs discuss whateverâs needed inside.â
Jannan gestured with his mouth, while Dane and Remy quickly reacted, turning to let them into the room.
Although Jannan wasnât among the earliest members upon joining the organization, starting even slightly later than Dane.
But as a Star Alliance instructor, Jannan has matching strength.
Within the entire Star Alliance, besides Zhang Xiaoman, the first to become a Controller was Lin Sisi.
