The correctional officers on duty at various important locations in Mulan City tonight all said that this was the most peaceful night in Mulan City in the past ten years.
The humanoid untouchables and slaves with violent tendencies that they were closely monitoring were very quiet and peaceful tonight, and even had a tendency of "not fighting back when beaten or retaliating when scolded."
However, the Special Security Bureau stationed outside Mulan City, which was monitoring the Forest of Exotic Beasts, discovered that a large-scale migration of various exotic and ferocious beasts had occurred in the Forest of Exotic Beasts.
In the past, as the northernmost part of the Strange Beast Forest expanded southward, the various strange and ferocious beasts living in the Strange Beast Forest migrated increasingly southward and were almost reaching the outskirts of Mulan City.
But after this night, all the strange and ferocious beasts turned their heads north and fled from this place frantically.
It was as if something more terrifying than the forbidden zone of life in the far north had appeared in Mulan City.
On the surface, these phenomena are contradictory and opposing.
The people below couldn't explain it, so they had to report it up the chain of command.
After reporting to the Information Department of the Beichen Star Special Security Bureau Headquarters, the new Director of the Information Department, Lin Xianyou, integrated various data from Mulan City on Guiyuan Star and knocked on the door of Huo Yushen's office.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon on Beichen Star and two o'clock in the morning on Guiyuan Star.
"Inspector Huo, please take a look at this data briefing. It was just reported from Mulan City on Guiyuan Star."
Lin Xian lobbied and placed two different data briefings in front of Huo Yushen.
One is inside Mulan City, and the other is outside Mulan City.
He continued, "There's also a data curve of the Bureau's surveillance of the Guiyuan Star's exotic beast forest over the past hundred years."
"Based on this data curve trend chart, we originally predicted that within twenty years, the exotic beast forest would spread throughout Mulan City, turning it into a place unsuitable for human habitation."
"By then, the one billion residents of Mulan City will have to relocate."
Huo Yushen said calmly: "It is impossible for one billion residents to move out of Mulan City overnight."
"Have we provided data support to local governments to urge them to formulate migration plans as soon as possible?"
Lin Xianyou said, "I was originally planning to bring up this matter at the next regular meeting with the Governor-General's Office of Guiyuan Star."
Because the work of relocating residents is not carried out by the Special Security Bureau.
However, the Special Security Bureau needs to provide data support so that local government departments can formulate migration plans based on this data.
Huo Yushen raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the way he spoke.
Lin Xianyou's heart tightened, and he stopped playing the suspense and said quickly, "But the abnormal situation that occurred last night has led to a second conclusion in our data evaluation."
Huo Yushen didn't even look at the two data briefings, but just looked at Lin Xianyou coldly.
Lin Xianyou felt his legs go weak, and he managed to speak, "It's like this. Last night in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star, an extremely powerful magnetic field from an alien beast suddenly appeared."
"This magnetic field not only calms the humanoids and slaves who go berserk and run amok on full-moon nights, but also drives away the various strange beasts outside Mulan City that are gradually moving southward, attempting to erode the city."
"According to this second data, the trend of the Exotic Beast Forest moving southward has been halted. We are not sure whether we should propose this migration."
Huo Yushen then lowered his head to look at the data briefing.
Three minutes later, Huo Yushen said, "Continue to observe."
"If the trend of the exotic beast forest moving southward stops here, then there's no need to propose migration."
"If it recovers in two days, we still have to be prepared for both scenarios."
"Also, investigate whether there were any unusual phenomena in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star last night."
"If my guess is correct, there must be a higher-level beast that descended on Mulan City on Guiyuan Star last night."
"I just don't know if it's just passing through or if it's a permanent resident..."
Huo Yushen pondered and narrowed his eyes.
For no reason, he thought of Xia Chujian.
Although he knew that she was neither human nor a beast.
But wasn’t yesterday the day Xia Chujian returned to Mulan City?
As soon as she returned, the magnetic field of the strange beasts in Mulan City underwent major changes. Was it just a coincidence?
However, Xia Chujian has also lived in Mulan City for eighteen years. If she really had a problem, why did she only show up last night?
This doesn't make sense.
Therefore, Huo Yushen's thoughts just habitually passed through Xia Chujian.
He would not draw any conclusion without any evidence to support it.
Of course, Huo Yushen did not show any abnormality in front of Lin Xianyou.
But after Lin Xian left, Huo Yushen still took a look at the daily report of the Special Security Bureau providing special protection to Xia Chujian's family.
It turned out that there didn't seem to be anything unusual there.
The only difference was that Xia Chujian and her aunt went out for dinner last night.
