Chapter 74: A crack in space and time? The seventh fragment appears!
The members of 976 team looked at each other in bewilderment, as all the testing tools they were carrying were "exploded".
There is no way there could be anything wrong with their tools, so the only problem is with the person in front of them.
"You are the source of interference, and you carry strong radiation!"
Mu Shengyu cried out in surprise and took a step closer to Xiaobai.
Tang Jingmo immediately took a step forward, stood in front of Xiaobai, and said coldly: "You people from 976, are you meddling too much?"
Mu Shengyu's eyes sharpened, obviously not expecting Tang Jingmo to directly reveal their identities.
In the military, their identities were kept highly confidential. There were only two types of people who knew their identities: their own people and their enemies.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, with both sides on the verge of a fight!
Just then, a steady voice came from behind the crowd: "Okay, Amu."
Everyone turned around and saw a man in his forties walking slowly towards them.
He was wearing ordinary dark blue work clothes. The washed and old clothes did not affect his appearance at all. His face was blessed by time, and he seemed like a handsome young man who had walked out of an ancient book.
The young man was as graceful as jade, yet his every move exuded an aura of pressure that could not be ignored.
What a strange person!
"Advisor Su!" Mu Shengyu took a step back and made room for him, but his eyes were still fixed on Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo vigilantly.
Su? A light flashed quickly in the depths of Xiaobai's eyes.
Su Po walked closer, his eyes lingered on Xiao Bai for a moment, then he smiled cordially, with a secret joy in his eyes: "Comrade Lin Xiao Bai, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"
Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face: "Do you know me?"
"Of course!" Su Po nodded slightly, "The military has already recorded your performance in earthquake relief."
He paused and turned his gaze to Tang Jingmo, "Staff Officer Tang is also a first-class tactical command ability."
Tang Jingmo's eyes moved slightly, and he became more alert: "It seems that the intelligence network of Bureau 976 is very wide!"
Su Po smiled and did not respond, but went straight to the point: "You are here to find Lin Xiaoan, right?"
Xiaobai took a step forward and tightened his fingers slightly: "Do you know the whereabouts of my brother?"
"Your little brother?" Su Po lowered his head and smiled, then put away his smile, "To be honest, one of the reasons we came to Longtou Cliff is to investigate Lin Xiaoan's matter. How about working together?"
"Cooperation?" Xiao Bai sneered, "How can we cooperate when your people are pointing guns at us?"
"Misunderstanding!" Su Po said calmly, "Our 976th Bureau's operations have always been confidential. When an unknown person appears at the investigation site, we naturally have to investigate."
He looked at Mu Shengyu and said, "Put away your guns. You are not as familiar with Longtou Cliff as Comrade Lin."
Then he turned to Lin Xiaobai and said:
"Right, Xiaobai? After all, you are a native of Longshan Village."
Tang Jingmo blocked his gaze, "You mean that Lin Xiaoan's disappearance is directly related to Longtou Cliff? What evidence do you have?"
"I have this suspicion, but the specific results still need to be proven. As for what evidence we have, it is not something that an outsider like you can understand."
He paused, "Of course, if you are willing to cooperate, we are also willing to share information."
Tang Jingmo and Lin Xiaobai looked at each other, and they reached a tacit consensus - the information 976 had might be exactly what they lacked.
"How to cooperate?" Xiaobai asked directly.
Su Po raised his lips slightly, seeming to appreciate her straightforwardness: "We provide the data and equipment, and you provide the people."
He pointed to the cliff behind him and said, "The things inside may only be accessible to you."
Su Po hinted at something, and his smile became more unfathomable.
"What do you mean?" Xiaobai pretended to be confused and continued to test.
Su Po chuckled and did not immediately answer Xiaobai's question.
He turned and looked at the sky. The starry sky before dawn was particularly bright, and the Milky Way was like a silk thread, stretching across the sky. But under this magnificent starry sky, there were countless unsolved mysteries.
"The history of Bureau 976 can be traced back to the reign of Wu Zetian during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, we were called the Bureau of Extraordinary People."
His voice was low and had a mysterious rhythm.
"Each member has his or her own unique skill - stargazing, ghost control, spiritualism, divination...Initially, it was just a team formed by the Queen because of a nightmare, specifically targeting some supernatural events..."
The mountain wind suddenly blew, blowing the corners of his clothes, as if ghosts from thousands of years ago were whispering.
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renamed Bureau 976. After I took over, I checked the archives of the bureau and found a pattern -"
Su Po's tone gradually deepened, "Every ten years, strange events will occur all over the country..."
"The bizarre events that occurred in various places seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but they all had one thing in common—"
"There will be strange phenomena at Longtou Cliff!" Xiaobai blurted out.
Su Po smiled, his smile was meaningful: "Smart!"
Tang Jingmo frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?"
Su Po calmly took out a piece of drawing paper from his arms. On it was a picture of a faint blue beam of light emitting from Longtou Cliff and shooting straight into the sky. In the center of the light beam, the outline of a fighter plane could be vaguely seen.
Xiaobai's throat tightened: "This is..."
"A crack in time and space!" Su Po said word by word, "Lin Xiaoan is trapped inside it."
Xiaobai took the drawing paper and lowered his head to examine it carefully.
Tang Jingmo asked first: "How can we trust you with just a piece of drawing paper?"
Su Po nodded, "Yes, you don't have to believe it. What I can tell you is that the person who drew this piece of paper is the 'Eye of the Sky' of our 976th Bureau, and he has never made a mistake."
"Space-time rift?" Tang Jingmo took the drawing paper from Xiaobai, his voice as cold as ice, "Advisor Su, do you think we will believe this kind of weird and supernatural talk?"
Su Po took out a bronze compass from his arms calmly. The magnetic needle in the center of the compass spun wildly, and finally pointed directly at the cliff.
"The magnetic field strength here is 100,000 times the normal value. Staff Officer Tang, you don't believe in metaphysics, but scientific data can convince you, right?"
"What is your specific plan?" Xiao Bai looked directly into Su Po's eyes. "What do you need me to do? As long as Xiao An can be rescued, I can consider cooperating with you."
She drew out her saber and performed a sword dance, then said calmly, "Of course, if you have other ideas, don't blame me for being blind."
"You!" Mu Shengyu stepped forward to protect Su Po, pointing the gun at Xiaobai.
Su Po patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to put down the gun.
"Don't worry, Comrade Lin won't hurt me." There was a firm confidence in his tone.
Xiaobai caught a glimpse of something from his somewhat familiar features and snorted coldly.
Su Po put away the compass and took a sealed file bag from the technician: "Enter the crack, rescue Lin Xiaoan, and bring back the sample."
He opened the file bag and took out a piece of metal fragment, "This fragment can help you enter the space-time rift."
The moment the fragment was taken out, Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo's pupils shrank suddenly - the seventh fragment!
