Chapter 254: Chapter 117: Order Assimilation, the Terrifying Migration Tide! (Part 2)

"Magnifying the negative is the ability of the mother source, Guardian Extraordinary wouldn’t do such a thing."

Jiang Chuan’s tone became more certain, "They only stimulate the positive emotions within humans, such as the desire for a better life, the commitment to keep a promise, or the persistence towards goals. They definitely wouldn’t induce negative emotions."

"Is that so?"

Cheng Ye furrowed his brows, recalling the greed in the man’s eyes last night.

That certainly didn’t seem like a positive emotion.

"According to existing cases, it is so, but exceptions can’t be ruled out."

Jiang Chuan added, "If the affected person lacks positive emotions and their heart is filled with negativity, then Guardian Extraordinary’s energy might reverse the stimulation and magnify the lurking malice. It’s like when sunlight hits a mirror, it reflects light, but when it shines on ink, it only makes the darkness more apparent."

"Is there more detailed information?"

"Not for now. The number of people he’s affected isn’t large enough; the sample size is too small. We’re currently conducting a city-wide search for other affected individuals, and Firewood is also gathering data on 600 cases from Zone B4. We’ll need to wait for both sets of data to be compiled before drawing any conclusions."

"Alright, thank you."

Muffled voices seemed to come through the receiver, as if a meeting was being held and discussed.

Cheng Ye didn’t ask further and hung up the phone.

Switched from the mother source infected body to Guardian Extraordinary, and the latter has already left Happiness City, contrary to the dire situation he had anticipated.

"Thankfully, if there were another mother source, I’d suspect I’ve transmigrated to Happiness City, causing the world’s will to punish this area..."

Cheng Ye muttered internally, pushing open the bathroom door and stepping out.

The thought of not facing a scene where the entire Buffer Zone could be corroded, followed by another massive cleansing.

If he was uptight all morning, now he feels relieved.

It’s like a cloud hovering over his heart was blown away, revealing the warm sunlight.

Moreover, standing in front of the bathroom, the afternoon sunlight indeed slanted down through the light fog, falling warmly on his shoulder, so comfortable it made him want to sigh.

Cheng Ye stood like this for a while, until his body was completely warmed by the sun, then he slowly walked towards the inspection area.

Liu Kun is leading a team today to examine the residual traces of Guardian Extraordinary, so it seems there’s no chance for a search.

But it’s just as well, the morning search consumed 25% of the charging value; it’ll be more prudent to recharge after work.

"Hey, Brother Cheng..."

Hearing the voice from behind, Wang Kang turned his head, almost thinking his eyes were playing tricks.

Before Cheng Ye went to the toilet, he was as serious as if the sky was about to fall, but upon returning, he reverted to that lazy appearance he had at the hospital, the pressure between his eyebrows disappeared, and even his steps seemed light and brisk.

"Why don’t you rest? There’s the Military Saber watching here, nothing will go wrong."

"I can sleep right there; it won’t affect you."

Cheng Ye shook his head with a smile, walked to the reclining chair, curled up comfortably, and conveniently pulled over the patrol jacket hanging nearby and draped it over himself. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It’s no exaggeration to say that Wang Kang is a natural candidate to be an Inspector.

Though his academic scores couldn’t match mine, his Martial Power was disastrous, but these were results of parental education, not poor talent.

Like now, his performance in patrol is flawless.

Cheng Ye compared himself mentally and felt he might not achieve Wang Kang’s level of dedication and earnestness.

Why?

Because Wang Kang’s world is too "pure!"

Receiving little information, his mind isn’t filled with all sorts of thoughts, unlike me, the transmigrator with modern memories, constantly distracted by curiosity.

Sometimes, I’m even dragged by the Collector, thinking of adventures and gaining benefits.

Wang Kang is like a carefully pruned sapling, inheriting the rigorous and meticulous qualities I taught him, yet not tainted by my inherent rebellious streak.

Undoubtedly top talent, exceedingly reassuring.

Seeing Cheng Ye actually closing his eyes to rest, Wang Kang pursed his lips, not saying more.

For the past two days, he’s been worried that Cheng Ye would inquire about what happened on the first patrol day.

But Cheng Ye seemed blissfully unaware, this kind of protective freedom allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yet he didn’t know; Cheng Ye was not unaware, but rather truly busy forgetting.

From investigating the caravan yesterday morning till now, the amount of information received in a day and a half might surpass what an ordinary person gets in months.

Even now during rest, he’s still pondering problems.

"In Firewood Shelter City, this Action Power indeed has no impact because the internal environment is too stable. People residing there will only work harder in the factory, more actively participate in construction."

"But coming to Happiness City..."

Cheng Ye furrowed his brows slightly, his fingertips tapping lightly on his knee unconsciously.

The explanation for "Action Power" is really too vague.

Jiang Chuan said it’s driven by positive emotions, but where’s the boundary of positive?

For Zhang Daniu, earning money in Fog Cave to move house is positive.

But for another person with no way out and low moral restraint, would casually stealing some money also be considered a must-do task?

If it ignites some anti-social personality, no wonder... explosives aren’t sold.

Behind each absurd rule is an even more absurd real story.

Turns out they were preventing this current situation!

While pondering, the irresistible drowsiness surged, and his eyelids grew heavier as if weighed with lead.

Cheng Ye didn’t fight anymore, letting his consciousness gradually blur, and curled up in the reclining chair, falling into a deep sleep.

...

When he woke again, the sky was already completely dark.
