The news of the Lawyer's imminent appearance was evidently more important than an inexplicable fight, and soon the entire Fire Moth Base was mobilized again. Dr. Mei promptly hurried over, choosing to take the shuttle to the designated target location with Duanmu Huai.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"Not sure."

Faced with Dr. Mei's inquiry, Duanmu Huai responded confidently.

"The Kant Counter's detection results show a large-scale decrease in the Hume Index in this area, indicating signs of a potential Reality Bender. That's all I can say for now. As for whether it's the reason for the Lawyer's formation, you ask me, who should I ask?"

"I suppose that's fair."

Dr. Mei wasn't concerned about Duanmu Huai's ambiguous statement. After all, they were not locals and weren't very familiar with the situation here. Besides, using the Hume Index to locate Reality Benders was Tribunal technology and didn't necessarily relate to the Lawyer.

But regardless, a trial must be attempted.

With this in mind, Dr. Mei turned to look at the subordinates beside her.

"What's the result of the Destruction Energy detection?"

"The Destruction Energy detection results show no abnormalities...."

Fire Moth did have some means to detect the Lawyer. A strong Destruction Energy reaction was the signature of a Lawyer. However, it was not helpful for prevention before it occurred. Detecting a high-energy Destruction Energy reaction meant the Lawyer was minutes away from birth, leaving no time to evacuate the populace. Hence, every time Fire Moth arrived, chaos had already erupted, and the Lawyer was born.

But now, things were different! They might be able to save these people!

"Activate the alarm and issue the evacuation order immediately."

At that moment, Dr. Mei decisively issued the command.

"Dr. Mei? Are you sure?"

Upon hearing Dr. Mei's order, the people below were shocked. The location Duanmu Huai detected this time was not some small town or village, but a major city with millions of inhabitants. Evacuating such a city was no easy task!

If this was a false alarm, then....

"I'm sure. Publicly announce it as Disaster Defense and instruct everyone to immediately seek shelter at the nearest refuge."

Collapse disasters were the most severe calamities in this world, but it wasn't the only one. Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other disasters existed too. Therefore, large cities in this world had shelters—though against a Lawyer, they were mostly useless due to lack of warning; by the time it was discovered, it was too late to evade.

"Understood."

The subordinate wanted to say more, but ultimately said nothing and relayed the order as Dr. Mei required. Duanmu Huai only glanced at this woman and then looked away. He understood what Dr. Mei's command meant: the Kant Counter wasn't powerful enough to locate the Reality Bender quickly, especially in a city with millions of people, making individual inspection and locating the target near impossible.

Moreover, from the current Hume Index value, they didn't have the time for a one-by-one search, confirming that the Lawyer's eruption is a near certainty.

This meant, inevitably, lives would be lost.

But by evacuating separately, at least others could survive.

Thus, Dr. Mei's decision essentially meant abandoning some people, letting them die, to save others.

Who survives will depend on their luck.

Very much in the style of an oil man, but Duanmu Huai didn't mind.

"Master."

At this moment, Ogis's voice sounded.

"Kant Counter indicates the Hume Index has dropped to a critical level."

"Activate the Scranton Reality Stabilizing Anchor."

"Alright."

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Ogis reached out and pressed lightly on the machine in front of them. The device installed at the center of the transport vehicle quickly unfolded like a lamp post, and everyone seemed to intuitively sense something flashing past them. Yet upon closer inspection, it was indistinct.

It was at this moment....

"Boom—————!!"

Flames shot up skyward, exploding from the distant city into a fiery column.

The flames erupted.

The scene resembled a volcanic eruption viewed from up close, with searing flames melting everything. People could even clearly see through windows the scenes of skyscrapers melting and exploding under the flames' licking and scorching. The sight was so profound, leading some to mistakenly perceive it as a disaster caused by some celestial anomaly.

At the same time, Fire Moth personnel screamed.

"Detection shows a peak Destruction Energy surge! It's the Lawyer!!"

Amid her scream, the outside flames plunged like gigantic waves toward the transport vehicle. Witnessing this, Fire Moth personnel looked pale, speechless. It was their first time experiencing this terrifying sight in first person, watching helplessly as the flames approached them, and then....

"Huh?"

The staff were surprised as they opened their eyes, glancing around. The flames were still as turbulent as ever. However, these flames that could melt steel skyscrapers couldn't reach this transport vehicle. They approached and then vanished into thin air.
