Apart from demon ghosts, there are other types of Void Things.
However, the most common ones are these two.
In daily life, ninety percent of Virtual Disasters are caused by ghosts. Official Void Thing popular science knowledge also focuses on introducing Spiritual Body-type Void Things. Ghosts seem to have little attacking power, but due to their Spiritual Body characteristics, they are more likely to hide in the human world.
As for demons, unless they can parasitize and hide within a human body, or are among the few kinds that can devour others’ memories and then imitate their identities, most are eradicated by high-tech weapons or Martial Artists shortly after appearing in the human world, preventing them from causing significant problems.
Thus, most of the time, Void Things refer to ghosts.
Aboard the helicopter, everyone looked down at the vast Taihu below.
The blue light screen in the center of the lake reflected the night sky.
This is the Void Control Department’s high-tech Void eradication weapon [Suppressing Void Field]; as long as their strength doesn’t exceed a certain level, any Void Things containing Evil Power can’t break through the containment of the force field. The weaker Void Things, upon entering it, disintegrate instantly.
Over the past two years, the field has blocked countless Void Things, but of course, its energy consumption is also extremely frightening. Only when a large-scale convergence point appears does the Void Control Department use this device. For smaller convergence points, just sending a strong Martial Artist to guard it will suffice.
Lu Chenzhou’s gaze was calm as he looked at the distant light screen. With his eyesight, he could barely make out a small slit in one corner of the screen. Several strong Martial Artists nearby were fiercely fighting Void Things that emerged from it, their Externalized Auras clashing. There were also various high-tech weapons illuminating the night sky, destroying numerous terrifying Void Things.
It wasn’t long before the helicopter arrived at an island.
Before disembarking, Li Gui said,
"Everyone, come here and pick up a monitoring device."
He held a silver-white metal bracelet in his hand, it had the words "Dragon City" inscribed on it, and there were tiny holes visible on it, seemingly a specially made camera.
"This bracelet is expensive. It can sense the energy force field of ordinary Void Things nearby and determine their Level. It can also record your combat process with the Void Things, thereby logging the number and types of Void Things you’ve killed.
If you kill them alone, it’s 20 Great Merits; if a team cooperates to kill, the School Committee will have to analyze your contribution afterwards and divide the 20 Great Merits. So, if it’s just an ordinary Void Thing, try to deal with it on your own.
If it’s a high-risk Void Thing...
Apart from Wang Hongdao and Lu Chenzhou, my suggestion is for two people to cooperate to handle it. I will follow along nearby, hunting Void Things while observing. If I think you’re unable to deal with the Void Thing and there is a risk to your life, I will step in.
For everyone’s safety, try to focus on the low and medium-risk Void Things. Martial Artists need life and death fights, but you haven’t grown up yet."
Li Gui emphasized repeatedly.
Everyone put on their bracelets one by one.
Lu Chenzhou turned on his phone and saw a message pop up.
[You are now connected to the real-time combat monitor, your combat footage and the number of Void Things you’ve killed will be transmitted in real time to your Dragon City account and school’s backend...]
"Good stuff." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✶fire.net
These combat monitors must also be returned to the school afterwards; they are newly developed by the military and are mainly used to record the military exploits of front-line soldiers.
The helicopter began to land.
Everyone came to the door and looked down.
"There are seventy-two islands of various sizes in Taihu, and we are currently situated on West Island, which is also a place where traces of Void Things’ force fields have been detected frequently, including Nether Level Void Things."
Everyone jumped down from the helicopter, landing on the ground.
As soon as he landed, Lu Chenzhou felt a chill surge in the Daling acupoint, chaotic and vague, indicating that there were a lot of Void Things nearby of varying strengths.
"Don’t get separated."
"Chenzhou, don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on everyone."
"If there are Void Things you can’t defeat, lead them to me."
Except for Nether Level Great Voids, he feared nothing. The number of Nether Level Great Voids was small and they were currently being besieged by a large number of Martial Artists; the chances of encountering them were slim.
Even if they did encounter one, he could last a while with the High-level Protective Suit.
Wang Hongdao hoped to achieve a perfect evaluation through this emergency mission.
There wasn’t much time left for him to sprint towards becoming a Special Level Martial Artist.
Buzzing, another helicopter flew across the sky.
Leopard Woman looked up and murmured softly,
"That’s a plane from Pingjiang Martial Arts University."
"My friends from Magic City Martial Arts University also rushed over from Magic City."
Lu Chenzhou looked at the message on his phone.
[Master: Chenzhou, are you on an emergency mission? I see that both Feyan’s and Ru Yu’s classes have been urgently deployed. Be careful.]
[Lu Chenzhou: Don’t worry, Master, we have teachers with us.]
[Master: Hmm, I have to go out too. Tonight is a big deal—the military, the police, and quite a few Martial Arts Hall Masters have all been summoned. I’ve lived for so long, and I’ve never experienced Virtual Disasters that mobilize so many Martial Artists.]
The tone of the message from his master was somewhat worried.
Li Gui came up to Lu Chenzhou, saying calmly,
"With me here, nothing will happen to you. The main reason for this massive mobilization is to marshal the strength of the entire city tonight to eradicate all Void Things. Otherwise, if they were to infiltrate Su City, the consequences would be unimaginable. If so many of us can’t control them and things escalate, I’ll take you all away from Taihu.
The country would then likely deploy super-powerful Void-Eradicating City-Level weapons, along with Breakthrough Seven shackled powerhouses, to carpet bomb Void Things along with Taihu. Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario, and there’s a 99.9% chance it won’t happen tonight."
