This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 939 - 447: Dare Not Speak Aloud, For Fear of Disturbing the Heavenly Beings_3

[Blue Beard: Hiss, one week, huh...]

[Sherlock Holmes: In a week, as long as the big shot returns with the Divine Skin, everything can surely be resolved, right?] Holmes’s question was also what everyone was most concerned about. If they could hang on for a week and then solve the problem, it seemed not too difficult.

But they were afraid...

[Red Sickle Girl: I don’t know.]

Lin Xue indeed gave the answer that everyone least wanted to see.

[Sherlock Holmes: Uh... but things will definitely improve once the big shot returns, right?]

[Red Sickle Girl: To be honest, I can’t guarantee...]

In the pet shop, after hesitating for a long time, Lin Xue still typed out this sentence.

She knew that everyone needed some confidence right now. If only monsters fell from the sky in the next few days, she could give a definitive answer without any problem.

The issue was that she couldn’t guarantee this. If Titans landed on Earth in the future, what transpired in the Star Spirit World’s mini-catastrophe might very well repeat on Earth.

Whether the power of the God of Order could rewrite the outcome of the mini-catastrophe, she had no idea at the moment and really dared not make groundless assertions.

[Red Sickle Girl: There is also a piece of crucial intelligence concerning human fate that I must announce here.]

After sighing, Lin Xue typed out the truth about the Divine Race’s extinction and the mini-catastrophe from a millennium ago.

[Solomon: Divine Beast... eating?]

[Baron of Hell: WTF? There’s such a thing? Aren’t we doomed then!?] freewebnoveℓ.com

...

Everyone was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

How were they to cope with something that even the Divine Race couldn’t survive?

Parasitic Beasts that could reproduce infinitely and spread silently and unnoticed were, in theory, impossible to defend against. This meant, if even one Titan descended, it would be equivalent to a catastrophe for mankind!

This left no way out at all...

The chat group fell silent for a moment, and a sense of despair quietly spread through the empty spaces of the chat.

After a short pause, it was the Son of Heaven who was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

[Son of Heaven: I... roughly understand the situation...]

[Son of Heaven: It looks like there are only two things we can do.]

[Jiu You: What?]

[Son of Heaven: First, we wait out these seven days until the Ghost Captain returns to see if his Divine Skin can bring a turning point.]

[Blue Beard: And the second?]

[Son of Heaven: The second... pray. Pray that for at least seven days, no Titan discovers the existence of those black holes, otherwise...]

The Son of Heaven didn’t finish, but everyone understood his meaning.

After that, nobody spoke again. The group suddenly cooled down, and everyone went off to handle their own affairs with heavy hearts.

...

Soon, the night gradually faded.

After a difficult night, when the first light of dawn finally broke, all the major countries of the world suddenly broadcasted wartime alerts and urgent evacuation notices through national television stations and major web portals.

The notice, in addition to a disaster survival guide aimed at the general public, contained three main orders.

First, all residents must evacuate the cities and areas corresponding to the nine black holes, which were designated as the highest danger zones.

Second, all countries called for a large-scale gathering of high-level combatants and players with atmospheric magic.

The reason given was the need for a massive workforce to create clouds non-stop, 24 hours a day, beneath the nine black holes to block out as much light as possible.

Third, and the most strict and controversial, complete silence!

It called for all of humanity worldwide to reduce noise as much as possible, to shut down noise-polluting factories, ban the use of excessive explosive magic, firearms, and ammunition, and minimize the use of light-polluting magic.

There was nothing to say about the first two orders, but the third left many people confused. Even noise was being controlled? Not allowing the use of heavy firepower and magic spells, wasn’t this cutting off one’s nose to spite the face?

Only a very small number of people in the know understood the reason behind this.

Compared to a Divine Beast capable of wiping out mankind, the number of other strange creatures didn’t really matter; at most, there would be heavy casualties, but not total extinction. However, if any Titan descended, it would be akin to starting the countdown to the end of the world.

To put it simply, as long as there was a sliver of hope to reduce the possibility of being discovered by Titans, they had to enact these measures unconditionally.
