Chapter 93: The Scantron Reality Anchor

Speaking of the Scranton Reality Stabilization Anchor, it is important to talk about the principles of reality-bending by the powerful reality benders. According to the Foundation's research, the so-called "reality" is like a plate of sand, which is not necessarily evenly distributed in space. Imagine that everything in the universe is covered by a thin layer of sand, where there is more sand, there is more "reality", and where there is less sand, there is less "reality".

The Foundation uses the word "Hume" as the basic unit to measure how "realistic" reality is. In other words, the higher the Hume index, the more stable reality is, and conversely, the lower the Humea index, the more fragile reality is, and the more easily it can be modified. Understanding this basic concept, the way reality benders play with the reality can be explained by "science".

Usually, a reality distortionist is surrounded by fewer Hume traces than normal, and their personal Hume readings are higher than the average person's. The reason for this, of course, is their ability to distort reality.

To give a specific example. For most ordinary people, their surroundings have a Hume Index of 100, and their own Hume Index is 100, which means that "reality" is "reality" for them. For a first-class reality distorter, the Hume Index of their surroundings is 75-80, while their own Hume Index will be stable at 130-150, and they will be able to bend reality when the Hume Index of the individual and their surroundings reach a certain difference.

Knowing the principle of how reality-bending works, the Scranton Reality Stabilization Anchor was created. When the fine sand in an area is removed for some reason, the reality of this area becomes weak, and the stabilization anchor stabilizes reality by filling the sandpit by extracting sand from other parallel universes to this universe. The principle of the Scranton Reality Stabilization Anchor is not complicated, but the technology used is quite advanced. Generally speaking, it will be very large and have a relatively wide range of actions.

The stabilizing anchor in this little girl's hand should be a specially made pocket version. To condense so many precision parts into such a small thing, its maker must be very smart. Although its range of action will be relatively small, for personal use, it is enough. Once the Reality Stabilization Anchor was out, Smollett's reality-bending ability and Zhang Jue's Reality Anchor were strongly inhibited. The reality inside the passenger cabin gradually stabilized.

Those passengers and crew members who were controlled by Smollett dropped the guns in their hands, and they fell to the ground with their heads covered, emitting guttural wails. After another two minutes, with the stabilizing anchor, the chaotic reality inside the cabin had all returned to normal. The pistols that had appeared out of thin air disappeared, the misaligned seats all returned to their original positions, and the air finally became breathable.

Smollett and Zhang Jue both gasped for air. The duel just now had been a huge drain on the mental energy of both parties.

"Look at what you've done!" Smollett gnashing his teeth, he had never been in such a mess before.

Zhang Jue gloated, "Hey blondie, now you have no more tricks. Hahahaha."

The little girl gave them a look and said, "Boring."

Smollett revealed a sinister look as he suddenly launched himself and lunged at the little girl, targeting the very reality stabilization anchor she was holding. But Zhang Jue had been watching his movements, so how could he let him get away with it.

"Oh no, you don't" He flew up and kicked Smollett away.

Smollett, who had lost his reality-bending ability, now is an ordinary person. In terms of fighting, he was no match for Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue subdued him in three blows and used the other passengers' clothes to tie up his hands and feet.

"Be honest." He kicked at Smollett's body like a village bully. The little girl watched as he tied Smollett up in fives and asked, "What are you going to do with this man?"

To Zhang Jue, blondie was very dangerous. Of course, it was better to kill him as soon as possible. But he was from the Chaos Insurgency, and his rank was not low, so the Foundation should want him alive.

The little girl in front of him was mysterious. She had the Reality Stability Anchor in her hands and had a great relationship with the Foundation, so Zhang Jue intended to see what kind of attitude she had first.

"What do you think?" He tossed the question back.

The little girl shook her head, "I don't care what you're going to do with him, but there's something wrong with the way you're handling it. Dealing with reality benders requires them to lose consciousness. The stabilizing anchor in my hands doesn't have much energy, and it won't last long. Once he regains his consciousness, it will be very troublesome."

Zhang Jue chuckled, thinking that if she weren't here, He would have killed him with a single slash.

Knowing the little girl's response, it seems she's not someone from the Foundation, and Zhang Jue was a little curious as to where she got her SRA from. This was all an afterthought. The most important thing now was to solve the problem at hand.

Zhang Jue got up and tried to knock Smollett out. "You, you stay away!" Smollett moved backward with great force, looking very scared.

Zhang Jue rubbed his hands together with a naughty expression, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine in a second. It won't hurt."

"I won't let you get away with it. We're all going to die together!" Smollett roared.

Zhang Jue thought he was babbling and completely ignored it, striking him in the neck with a hand slash.

But Zhang Jue was ultimately a bit too slow, and Smollett bit off the tip of his tongue at the last minute.

"Hahahaha!" he laughed maniacally as blood continued to gush out of his mouth, "You guys, just you wait, you're all going to die, hahaha! "

Smollett's speech was no longer clear, and his eyes were filled with madness. Zhang Jue instinctively felt that things were not good. Sure enough, Smollett's body swelled up extremely quickly. He was the same as Mr. Samuel that Zhang Jue had met before, and both chose to blow themselves up at the last minute.

Shit, again?

Zhang Jue couldn't help but want to curse. How on earth did the Chaos Insurgency brainwash them? They were too damn loyal too. Smollett's expansion was so fast that it had reached its limit in the blink of an eye. Zhang Jue stretched out his hand to activate his "Paralyze" ability on him. However, just as he was about to touch Smollett, he was hurt.

The young girl scolded him, "What are you doing? Do you want to die?" Zhang Jue's eyes widened, and his heart was racing. Will he die from this? Smollett's body was about to explode when the little girl turned off the stabilizer with her left hand and slightly extended her right hand forward.

Zhang Jue felt a burst of dizziness, and when he came back to his senses, Smollett had already disappeared. Holy crap? She was hiding something. Zhang Jue looked at the little girl, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He didn't know that she was that strong. Thinking about her actions just now, Zhang Jue instantly guessed her ability. "You're also a reality bender, right?" Zhang Jue asked.

The little girl hummed, "It's none of your business."

This little girl was not friendly, she was a reality bender herself, and she had a reality stabilization anchor in her hand. This was the rhythm of being an athlete and a referee simultaneously.

Zhang Jue looked at her and suddenly remembered where he'd seen her before. She looked exactly like the woman in the blurry photo of Anna's tombstone.

Zhang Jue pointed at her and said in surprise, "Wait, you're Anna?"
