Obliterate
"Captain Wei, how did you do this?"
Bai Yan smiled and handed the 2023 Spacetime Anomaly Node Monitoring Report to Wei Li.
The abnormal energy subsided, all data returned to normal, and the space-time barrier began to repair itself.
This is the best good news since the crisis.
The first-level alarm sounded, and the soldiers of the execution team went to different time and space to carry out repairs.
Even Wei Li himself jumped through three time and space in a short period of time.
But no abnormal node has returned to normal as completely as node 2023.
The 2024 abnormal node was the first place where abnormal energy erupted in this incident. The energy reaction was the most violent and has shown no signs of subsiding so far.
Some experts speculated based on the clues brought back by Wei Li that this might be related to the missing border forest in that time and space.
In the 2020 space-time and the 2019 space-time, the execution team also went there to investigate and repair, and also captured an abnormal energy.
However, these two time and space only achieved a temporary calm, and did not trigger the self-repair of time and space like the 2023 node.
The surrounding abnormal nodes are still eroding the two time and space.
Especially at the 2020 node, if the Space-Time Bureau did not have certain delaying and control measures, the abnormal movement that had just subsided would almost come back.
Therefore, the difference in Wei Li's handling of the 2023 node may be the breakthrough point of this crisis.
Wei Li himself was also surprised.
His main purpose of going to the 2023 node this time was to find and rescue people.
For the abnormal nodes themselves, only routine processing was performed, such as clearing abnormal energy, repairing and reinforcing broken space-time barriers, and returning the deviated space-time to its original position.
The processing flow for other abnormal nodes is the same and there is no difference.
If there is any difference...
Wei Li finished reading the report and said: "The node itself only performed routine processing, but there are two situations that are indeed worth noting.
One is that strange, anomalous energy, which I suspect has a certain degree of self-awareness."
Bai Yan's expression was serious: "Tell me in detail."
Bai Yan is not only in charge of the central control center, but also a senior researcher in the field of time and space.
When Wei Li rushed to the scene, the abnormal energy had already dissipated, but he still left a shield for Bian Senlin.
He also told Bai Yan about Bian Senlin's description of his encounter with the energy body.
"The second is Bian Senlin himself. Why did the abnormal energy abduct him at the 2014 node?
He was also sent to the time and space of 2023, and even protected him when he was in danger. What was the purpose of doing this?
And, if I'm not mistaken, some of that final dissipated energy should have entered Bian Senlin's body."
In fact, there are far more strange things about Bian Senlin.
In 2034, the strange temporary leave application was made in the forest at the edge of time and space where the incident occurred.
The disappearance of the forest at the edge of time and space in 2024 and the clues found point to it.
The border forest of 2014 time and space went to 2023 time and space, and the border forests of the two time and space encountered a time and space accident again.
The clues we have learned so far are all inextricably linked to the Bian Forest.
But they don't know the deeper connections between these clues.
Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
Wei Li flipped through the report again. This time, he noticed something different amidst the complex data and frowned, "The timing is wrong!"
"Hmm?" Bai Yan looked up.
"I left the 2023 space-time node at noon on October 7, and the direction of this fluctuation was after 8 pm."
Generally, it takes time for such abnormal energy fluctuations to subside, and it is normal for the difference to be seen after a delay of several hours.
But if you compare the energy fluctuations collected by Wei Li's equipment at any time, you can see the difference between the two.
Bai Yan took the data and took a look at it, then said decisively, "Let's dig deeper into this clue!"
Under the current circumstances, they will not miss any clues.
*
Three days.
This is the third day since Bian Senlin came here.
During these three days, Bian Senlin underwent a thorough physical examination from head to toe, inside and out.
The good news is, he's in great shape.
Wei Li was worried that the energy emitted from the small light ball into his body had no adverse effects.
The bad news is that we said yesterday morning that the inspection project was almost completed.
But for some reason, starting from yesterday afternoon, the number of examinations he needed to do suddenly increased a lot.
The densely packed inspection schedule made him feel like he was in a rush, and even though he was just the one being inspected, he felt extremely exhausted.
He complained to Lu Cencen, and Lu Cencen just comforted him with a sympathetic look on her face.
I also gave him a dining card for the cafeteria's small garden. I heard that the dining environment there is very good.
During these three days, he also learned more information in bits and pieces.
For example, last time he thought there was someone more unlucky than him who fell into the gap in time and space, but it turned out to be his future self.
When he heard the news, he was silent for a long time. He had a hunch that this was not good.
Is he too deeply involved in these inexplicable things?
Is it really just an accident and coincidence?
This made him a little nervous.
He is not the type of person who can keep things to himself. Once he has something on his mind, he will become depressed.
Fortunately, I am with him sometimes and can always make him happy.
For example, now:
"Sen Lin, lunch time is almost here. Today we have your favorite braised spareribs~"
“Here I come!”
Hearing the cute mechanical sound of the little boy, Bian Senlin, who was originally a little depressed, quickly rushed out of the room.
Shi Xiao led the way, followed by Bian Senlin, and they rushed towards the cafeteria like a gust of wind.
Old Wang in the cafeteria likes this new guy very much.
He stood in line obediently with his tray, staring at his food eagerly.
The desire in those eyes that could be seen through was an affirmation of his cooking skills.
Whenever Lao Wang is happy, he will fill the bowl full for him.
Bian Senlin politely said thank you and came to the small garden with a plate full of food that was almost overflowing.
We found a secluded booth and started enjoying the food.
The environment here is really comfortable. Each booth can also raise a separate soundproof cover to ensure privacy while isolating from outside noise.
Just as I was enjoying my lunch contentedly in the forest and leisurely drinking a drink, I saw a familiar figure.
She was one of the staff members responsible for his examination during this period, and she was a very kind young lady.
He sat down not far in front of him, but because of the design of the garden booth and the potted plants, the other party did not see him.
Bian Senlin had a social phobia attack and he hesitated whether to say goodbye before leaving.
Wouldn't it be impolite not to say hello?
Thinking of this, he asked about the hour that was with him.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoshi seemed to have misunderstood his meaning, and Xiaoshi slid past smoothly without him noticing.
Bian Senlin was startled, and after he came to his senses, he subconsciously wanted to pull Xiao Shi back.
"Xiao Xiao, is it time to upgrade your language understanding system? I didn't mean to ask you to greet them!"
Bian Senlin chased after him and said in a low voice.
When I got closer, I found that there was another person in the booth over there.
And they raised the soundproofing cover, so they must have something to discuss.
"Let's go, don't bother others. What happened to Xiaoshi?"
Only then did Bian Senlin realize that Xiaoshi had stopped not far behind the booth, and the screen that usually displayed expressions went black.
Bian Senlin touched Xiaoshi's round mechanical head and asked, "Could it be that the battery is out?"
Just when Bian Senlin was wondering, he heard a slight crackling sound next to his ears. If he didn't have good hearing, he might not be able to hear it.
Then, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to hear the conversation over there.
"Transfer?"
"I know it wasn't easy for you to get promoted, but this time the notice from above was sudden...
But don't worry, this is a lateral transfer and won't affect your evaluation."
Bian Senlin was very embarrassed. He had no intention of eavesdropping on other people's conversation, but he didn't know how his computer froze here and he couldn't leave.
He was about to speak up to remind people that someone was there, but he was quickly stunned.
Because he heard his own name.
The young lady was silent for a moment and then seemed to agree: "Okay, then who should I contact?"
"There shouldn't be any need for a connection. I heard some news that the Border Forest you're in charge of will soon be transferred to Group Nine, and all the relevant information will be transferred over."
"Group nine?" the young lady exclaimed.
Group Nine is different from other project groups. Rather than being a project group, it is more of a place to monitor high-risk objects.
It can be said that once you cross the border forest, you will not only be under strict surveillance at all times, but your movements will also be restricted, which is basically equivalent to losing your freedom.
Moreover, I heard that those who entered Group Nine did not have a good ending.
The young lady thought of the young man who looked so well-behaved and smiled so shyly, and asked with some difficulty, "How come... he was transferred to Group Nine?"
"You know that the Level 1 incident is going through hard times, right?"
"I've heard a little bit."
"The situation is serious now. The task force has made no progress, and all the clues point to Bian Senlin, who is deeply involved.
Someone speculated that if Bian Senlin no longer existed, would the crisis also disappear?
There is only one way to deal with non-existence in this situation - complete annihilation!
"Ridiculous! This is just unfounded speculation!"
"At the meeting that just ended this morning, someone submitted a feasibility report...but..."
Bian Senlin didn't hear the rest of the words, and he didn't know how he walked out of the restaurant.
When the early autumn wind blew, he felt as if all the blood in his body was about to freeze into ice chips.
He felt suffocated and helpless. He had no one to confide his panic to and nowhere to go.
He could only walk around the flower bed again and again.
He didn't stop until the normal hours found him.
Xiaoshi's mechanical voice was filled with grievance: "Sen Lin, why did you leave me behind?"
Bian Senlin did not answer this question, there was only confusion and helplessness in his eyes. Unfortunately, as a robot, Xiao Shi could not understand.
After a long while, Bian Senli asked softly, "Xiao Xiao, is that Level 1 incident really that dangerous? What will happen if it's not resolved?"
Xiao replied: “Forest, because of your clearance, I can’t tell you too much.
But I can answer this question, yes, it is very dangerous.
If this crisis cannot be resolved in time, part of time and space may be destroyed.
Theoretically, if the past no longer exists, can the present still exist? This is a paradox.
Even if some remnants of space and time survive, the space-time order will suffer a severe blow.
Perhaps countless natural lives will suddenly disappear from a certain time and space one day, and appear in another time and space, or perhaps they will suddenly turn into a pile of bones...
In short, based on current calculations, this is an unacceptable consequence for humanity.”
"Consequences that humans cannot accept...?"
Bian Senlin repeated it in a low voice, looking up at the sky in this strange time and space, silent.
