Key Plan
In Bai Yan's office, Lu Cencen was summarizing all the currently known intelligence information to Bai Yan.
"So far, including the main space-time, a total of 11 space-times have been affected by this Level 1 abnormal event.
The main space-time was not greatly affected due to protective measures and timely handling;
The 2023 space-time anomaly has subsided and is in a state of slow repair;
The abnormal nodes in the five time and space of 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 have been temporarily suppressed;
In addition to the above-mentioned time and space, there are five abnormal nodes in time and space that need to be dealt with urgently.
But just after the execution team dealt with the abnormal nodes in the above-mentioned time and space one after another, they found that the abnormal energy in several other time and space became extremely violent.
Unable to jump into the abnormal node for repair, the execution team also suffered an injury and is currently receiving treatment in the medical department."
While listening to Lu Cencen's report, Bai Yan frowned and thought as he looked at the light screen in front of him.
"What's the situation with the expert group?"
Lu Cen Cen paused and continued:
"Around 8 p.m. on the 20th, someone from the expert group put forward a hypothesis based on the report on the 2023 abnormal node.
He believed that abnormal nodes were affected by abnormal energy, which in turn was affected by Bian Senlin's emotions or obsessions.
However, since this conjecture had no basis, it did not attract attention at the time.
It was not until the afternoon of the 21st, when Bian Senlin was doing the last few inspections, that he passed by the laboratory where the abnormal energy group captured last time was stored.
The researchers discovered strange fluctuations in the abnormal energy, and this led them to redirect their research.”
This is also the reason why Bian Senlin felt that the number of inspection items suddenly increased a lot at that time.
Lu Cen Cen looked a little strange: "At present, the expert group has verified that the border forest can indeed affect abnormal energy to a certain extent.
The effects range from making it manic... or calming."
Bai Yan's eyes flashed with a gleam. "Tell the expert group that I need a detailed report before the next meeting."
"Yes!" Lu Cen Cen responded straightforwardly.
Then he continued, “This matter has been handed over to Group Nine, and they have the highest priority for resource allocation.
The Bian Forest is currently being taken over by Group 9, and I believe there will be results soon."
"Also..." Lu Cen Cen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since the news of the border forest came out,
There has always been a small number of radicals who want to solve the problem by eradicating the border forests.
We were able to suppress it before, but as time went on, our progress stagnated.
This rumor is getting more and more intense, I’m afraid they will make trouble at the next meeting…”
There are always people who would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, even if they are not sure that doing so can really solve the problem.
Moreover, for some people, this may just be a tool for them to attack the Central Control Center and Bai Yan.
Success is fine, but failure also gives them room to exploit the issue.
As for whether the young man involved was innocent, that was not within their consideration.

September 23, 2034, 10:00 AM.
Lu Cen Cen followed Bai Yan into the meeting room.
Wei Li came later, found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
Lu Cencen looked around in the corner and found that most of the participants had arrived one after another.
Some people who were unable to attend the meeting in person also used holographic projection to participate in the meeting.
Suddenly, when Lu Cencen saw the last person who entered the meeting room, her heart skipped a beat.
Miao Changan, deputy director of the Space-Time Bureau, why is he here?
Deputy Director Miu is a very serious person, and being stern is almost his trademark.
Everyone greeted Deputy Director Miu, who raised his hand and said, "You guys continue. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to listen in today."
Although she said so, Lu Cencen understood that Deputy Director Miu's presence here itself was a kind of attitude.
The radicals are using Deputy Director Mu to put pressure on us.
As Lu Cen Cen expected, the radicals started to attack as soon as the meeting began, and once again came up with a plan to eliminate the enemy.
"All the clues we've uncovered point to this Bian Forest. He's definitely involved in this matter!"
Someone retorted: "But there is no direct evidence to prove that he did it.
And from what is known so far, he is not capable of doing this.”
“Why not?
Judging from the clues Captain Wei found in the 2024 spacetime, the 2024 spacetime was the first place where the anomaly appeared;
The Bian Forest in that time and space wrote a letter to his own self in 2014, 2020, and 2034 respectively.
Abnormal energy immediately appeared in these three time and space;
Then, he found in his address book that he had called his own number several times.
The number of these communications and the three letters add up to exactly 11 times, which corresponds exactly to the 11 time and space affected by this incident.
Am I right, Captain Wei?"
Wei Li opened his eyes and looked at the man without saying anything.
The man didn't care. Wei Li was always like this. He would never speak unless it was necessary in such occasions.
"You are speculating!
Bian Senlin in the 2024 time and space is now missing, and it is still unclear whether he is a victim or the culprit.
Your statement is extremely irresponsible!"
"Everyone!" Someone tried to pull the team back in the direction they had deviated from.
"Our most urgent task right now is to resolve this crisis, not to find out who is guilty. Solving the problem is the top priority."
"That's right," someone said with a smile, taking over the topic.
"I heard that the latest conclusion reached by the expert group is that the abnormal energy is related to the emotions and obsessions of that Bian Forest?
If Bian Senlin doesn't exist, then the problem is solved, right?"
"Heh, could you please explain...what does it mean to not exist?"
"Eradicate! Make Bian Senlin completely disappear from all time and space, and then the connection between him and these abnormal energies will naturally be severed."
"And then? Can you guarantee that the problem can be completely resolved? Can all affected time and space return to normal? What's your basis for this?
If you can’t and have no basis for it, then you are committing murder!”
"We have to give it a try. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and necessary sacrifices are unavoidable."
Hearing this, Lu Cencen lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes, and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Some people always justify their sacrifices, but when it comes to themselves, it may be a different story.
At this time, Bai Yan, who had been silent all this time, spoke. Her smile was gentle, but her words were as sharp as a knife:
“Necessary sacrifices are inevitable, and meaningless sacrifices are meaningless.
I think you may have forgotten one thing. Bian Senlin is just an ordinary citizen.
One of the original intentions of establishing our Space-Time Bureau is to protect the lives of the general public from being harmed!
If they can sacrifice one innocent young man today, they could sacrifice tens or even hundreds tomorrow. The Space-Time Bureau should just switch careers and become executioners!"
"Haha, Director Bai is still young, and he used to be an academic researcher, so it's normal for him to be soft-hearted.
But this is precisely for the sake of protecting the safety of more people."
Seeing that a new round of debate was about to begin, Deputy Director Miu spoke up, "Alright! Bai Yan, tell me your plan."
Lu Cencen's expression froze, here it comes!
This requires the task force to come up with a convincing plan.
Bai Yan stood up and nodded to Deputy Director Miu before speaking methodically:
"The task force will currently be clearing out the affected spacetime nodes, removing the abnormal energy, and then repairing the spacetime barriers.
At present, more than half of the abnormal nodes have been processed, and the suppression effect is quite obvious, effectively preventing the situation from deteriorating further."
"Just suppressing it? As far as I know, the execution team can't even enter the abnormal node right now, right? How can they clean it up?"
Wei Li looked again and it was the same person.
"This is what I'm going to say next." Bai Yan took out a piece of data and projected it directly into the air so that everyone could see it.
"Please see, the 2023 spacetime is the most thoroughly resolved anomaly node so far.
This is of extraordinary significance to us, as it can provide us with the direction to ultimately resolve this space-time accident.
After countless rounds of research and verification, it has been confirmed that the Edge Forest does have a certain effect on abnormal energy. We call this effect affinity."
"Affinity?"
"Yes, affinity!" Bai Yan emphasized it again with a stronger tone.
“When abnormal energy senses someone with a high degree of affinity, it produces some different frequency band reactions.
For example, when a high-affinity person is injured or their brain waves reflect negative emotions such as pain and depression, the abnormal energy will become manic.
On the contrary, it will be calm and gentle.
It should be noted that Bian Senlin is not the only one who shows affinity.
At present, many staff members have detected a certain degree of affinity, but the affinity is not as high as that of Bian Senlin."
At this point, Bai Yan stabbed lightly, "Based on current research, the elimination plan will not only fail to solve the problem, but will actually have the exact opposite effect."
Injury and negative emotions can cause abnormal energy to become manic, but what if someone is killed?
Will the situation get worse?
What's more, even if the affinity of others is not that high, there are only how many people in the base?
Who knows how many highly agreeable people there are in the world? Can you kill them all?
Who can guarantee that the next person with high affinity detected will not be one of you here?
Bai Yan continued: "Although it is still unclear why the Bian Forest has such a high affinity,
But it does not prevent us from using him to solve the obstacles we are currently facing.
His affinity can calm the abnormal energy, and we can then enter the abnormal node to clean and repair it.
The edge forest will be the key to reopen the abnormal node!"
The conference room fell completely silent, and the person who originally proposed the elimination plan remained silent, not daring to say a word.
According to their original proposal, if the edge forest died, not to mention whether the abnormal nodes would explode,
Where can they find such a high-affinity key in a short time?
Bai Yan looked around and saw that no one objected. He said seriously, "I suggest that we reject the proposal to eliminate it and implement the Key Plan instead."
Lu Cen Cen breathed a sigh of relief, it was stable!
