Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Void Expeditionary Army_1

Emily’s heart raced as she listened.

They had actually found each frame of their encounters with the Absurd Demon puppets, and chronologically, the appearances of the Absurd Demon coincided perfectly with those of the white-dressed female ghost.

It started with her, and then the next day, when they went looking for supplies in the town, they encountered the Absurd Demon again, causing the ghostly figure to appear in everyone’s rooms. These "encounters" made the town’s Absurd Demon increasingly powerful.

However, what they didn’t know was that, after they pulled up all the footage of their encounters with the Absurd Demon, Dr. Bai Zhu at the landfill finally stretched comfortably, as if a weight had been lifted.

She was becoming increasingly aware of the high demands for improvisation from them, the workers behind the scenes. As soon as the Devourer communicated the Absurd Demon’s new settings to her, she immediately hacked into the Starfish Technology system and tampered with the footage.

She managed to fabricate all the scenes of their "encounters" with the Absurd Demon just before they finished accessing the footage.

This made Emily extremely anxious.

The Observer confirmed all the details of their "encounters," and she knew that the real body of the Absurd Demon was hidden in one of the houses. The company had already begun urging her to quickly eradicate the Absurd Demon and give everyone peace.

If eradicating the Absurd Demon was the ultimate goal, then the previous notes obviously lacked some important information.

For instance, what methods could inflict fatal damage on such a creature?

In the early notes, even the experienced Adventurer No. 7 had met his demise, and the "concerned citizen’s" description of the Absurd Demon was too vague—he hadn’t specified how to completely destroy the creature.

"Has the ’concerned citizen’ ever mentioned how to destroy this kind of monster?"

She asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

They certainly didn’t want to meet the same fate as Adventurer No. 7, not only dying but also being swallowed whole by this ugly, disgusting monster and merging with it.

"The Absurd Demon has a physical form, common weapons can slow its movements, but to completely destroy it, it must be burnt to ashes——that’s the method the ’concerned citizen’ mentioned."

"...Is this effective?"

Spicy Chicken cleared his throat softly, his tendrils coalescing into the shape of a bow.

To say he wasn’t scared at all was impossible, but he always felt the bow gave him some kind of belief, as if guiding him on the path to hunting Void creatures. This belief made him feel rejuvenated, or to put it in simpler terms, he felt a little invincible right now.

The gaze of the others converged on him, making Spicy Chicken feel like he had become the main DPS of the team.

"It’s effective, but you have to consider whether you can survive," Lu Xiang warned. "Once it has a physical form, it means it can also cause you real harm, and if you fall into its hands, it can tear you to pieces instantly."

Hearing this, those who were contemplating whether to buy a weapon for self-defense completely dismissed the idea.

Spicy Chicken bought the only ranged weapon from the stall, leaving behind melee cold weapons that might be powerful, but against the Absurd Demon, they were like having only 1 drop of blood; getting caught meant certain death.

This compounded the upcoming hunt with difficulty.

The Observers paced anxiously, like ants on a hot pan. According to the description left by Adventurer No. 7, the shadow’s impact on them had reached a very serious level, and soon, it would be powerful enough to manifest directly in front of them and tear them apart.

The people lined up could only place their hopes on Lu Xiang, "What should we do then?"

"First, find its hiding place, then set the corresponding traps."

...

In a state of nervous anxiety, the Void Expeditionary Army embarked on their first monster-hunting journey.

After educating the expedition members on the matters regarding the Absurd Demon, Lu Xiang felt parched and exhausted. She realized that when you fabricate a non-existent setting, you need to adorn it with even more settings.

"What are you thinking about?"

Not until the others had walked some distance did she glance at Song Lan, who wore a deep expression.

"Since this morning, I’ve been wondering if we’ve overlooked something."

Even though Father Abrah’s theory fundamentally explained that they were monsters born from human negative emotions, he had overlooked a crucial part.

To this day, discussions about the Void abound. Apart from websites maintained by people like Dr. Bai Zhu and Father Bruno, many others had also set up corresponding sites. Whether for science popularization, extortion, or clout-chasing, every day countless people’s negative emotions were received by the Devourer. Their numbers might be tens or even hundreds of times more than those of the observers. Logically, District 17 should have been overrun with demons by now, yet only the emotions from the observers had birthed a single monster.

How were these people’s negative emotions different from those of the foolish netizens?

Song Lan pondered all afternoon without understanding the principle. Was it simply because the foolish netizens had not faced the Void directly, so their fear was not sufficient?

He always felt that things couldn’t be that simple; they must have overlooked some vital detail, and that was the catalyst for the birth of the ghost in white.

"This is not something we can figure out in a short while."

When Lu Xiang called the landfill, she mentioned the mines of Neutral Country. They had spent so many years and sacrificed countless investigators without thoroughly understanding these monsters. If Song Lan could slap his thigh and come up with an answer in one afternoon, then that would truly be strange.

"We have to deal with the problems one by one. The top priority now is to nip it in the bud before it grows stronger."

"You’re right,"

Song Lan nodded, "Let’s solve the immediate problem first."

Only with sufficient sleep can one have the energy to think.

No one can sleep badly and get away with it.

Song Lan picked up the fire axe and followed Lu Xiang’s lead along with the Void Expeditionary Army. This was their first real battle against the Void, and they also carried the important mission of making the investigators in District 2 believe.

He knew, at this very moment, the observers from Starfish Technology must have moved their chairs together, sitting around tensely watching the entire process of the Expeditionary Army battling the Absurd Demon.

Now aware of the Absurd Demon’s location, Emily led the team deliberately towards the residence occupied by the monster.

It wouldn’t be long before they encountered the Absurd Demon.

Success or failure, it’s all here!
