Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 47 Abnormal Node
"It's not a big problem. I have the channels." Yang Lian said, "Although the quality of the beacons produced in a hurry may be somewhat uneven, as long as the failure rate does not exceed 30%, it will not affect the final test results."

"Okay, then I'll leave this task to you... By the way, did you get any valuable information from those who came back?" Sun Hang also imitated Wang Xiyi and put his legs on the table in front of him.

Looking at these two ruffian hunters, Yang Lian's veins throbbed twice, but in the end he didn't say much: "The representatives of the Federal Parliament and the bigwigs of the Management Committee were taken away directly, and the Investigation Bureau can only contact those lower-level entourage personnel... But the difference is not big. According to their description, the speed of time in the replaced area is not consistent with normal time and space. From the time the anomaly occurred to when everything returned to normal, from their perspective, only five hours had passed."

"Just five hours?" Sun Hang frowned. He always felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being.

"Well, the reason they were able to discover the abnormality was because the live broadcast signal of the flower-laying ceremony was cut off. Then they discovered that all network signals and radio communications were interrupted. The accompanying security personnel immediately activated the emergency plan and, while ensuring the personal safety of those officials, sent a team to seek assistance from the outside world." Yang Lian said.

"Is this team the twenty-seven people who didn't come back?" Sun Hang asked.

Yang Lian nodded and continued, "The people who stayed in the South City Cemetery did not wait for this team to return, but waited for the second batch of rescuers from normal time and space."

"According to the current situation, the valuable information they can provide us is almost zero." Wang Xiyi sighed helplessly, "To put it bluntly, it's just a different group of people who are missing."

"Wait a minute... I suddenly found out what the problem is!" Sun Hang suddenly stood up, "This anomaly is not just a simple replacement of two time and space... Otherwise, the flow of time in the South City Cemetery should be the same as in the real world!"

"What do you mean...?" Yang Lian looked at Sun Hang with a puzzled look on his face.

"The first time of space-time replacement occurred at 7pm, and the missing people returned at 10am the next day, a difference of 15 hours... This is not a matter of how fast time flows, but the South City Cemetery that we returned to in this time and space is not the South City Cemetery that originally belonged to this time and space."

"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand." The confusion on Yang Lian's face became more and more serious. On the contrary, Wang Xiyi's expression suddenly became serious, and the two long legs on the table were put down.

"Assuming that the real time and space we are in during the first time-space replacement is used as the benchmark for 'zero hour', then in the real world, the time they return should be '15 o'clock', but for the South City Cemetery and those missing persons, the time they are in is '5 o'clock'... In other words, they do not belong to our current time and space, and everything has not returned to normal!" Sun Hang's speech speed became very fast, "The South City Cemetery is still an abnormal area, and those missing persons, each one, can be regarded as an abnormal node! Quick! Notify the people from the Investigation Bureau and the Public Security Bureau to gather all these missing persons! Quick!!"

"But, each of these missing persons has undergone detailed testing, and none of them have been found to have the meme of the strange virus. Logically speaking..."

Before Yang Lian finished speaking, Sun Hang interrupted him: "They are not infected by the strange creatures, so how can they be diagnosed with the strange virus! But as long as they are in this time and space, they themselves are equivalent to abnormal time and space nodes one after another. If the strange creature that caused the time and space displacement wants to attack our time and space again, each of these missing people will become a fuse!"

"You... do you have any basis for your statement?" Yang Lian's breathing stagnated. "I have worked in the Investigation Bureau for seven years and read countless files related to strange things, but I have never heard of such a statement..."

"I told you that you have read so much that you have lost your shit. Let me ask you one question. Has the Investigation Bureau ever encountered a monster with the ability to replace time and space before?" Sun Hang cursed impatiently.

"But..." "Don't say but. It's very simple to verify Sun Hang's point of view." Wang Xiyi picked up the phone hanging on the wall of the conference room. "Hello, is this the Security Department? Ask the missing person who just returned to the station to come to the No. 1 Operations Conference Room on the seventh floor, immediately! Right now!... Don't tell me that the interrogation is over. If you don't want to bring the person here, I will do it myself!"

Soon, two men and one woman were brought to the conference room. The woman was an administrative staff member of the institute, and the other two men were executors in charge of field work.

"Uh... didn't I just ask this question?" The tired-looking female administrator yawned. "We have already said everything we know. There is really nothing left out."

"I can testify to this." The person who brought the three of them here was a person in charge of the security department. "The person in charge of the interrogation asked each question more than three times. Their answers were also very detailed, and there were basically no major discrepancies."

"That's not what I want to ask." Wang Xiyi waved her hand and walked in front of the three people. "You three, do you seem sleepy?"

"After just going through this kind of thing and finally returning to the normal world, it's normal to feel tired, right?" Yang Lian whispered.

"No, they feel tired because of their biological clock." Sun Hang shook his head, walked to the side, opened the window, and looked at the three people. "Tell me, is it dark outside?"

"Yeah?" The female administrator in charge nodded naturally, "It's already late at night... Can we go to bed first?"

The sun was high in the sky outside the window, and there were no clouds in the sky. The sky appeared clear blue due to the Tyndall effect. A gray starling flapped its wings and flew across the sky towards the commercial district.

The expressions on Yang Lian's and the head of the security department's faces froze.

It was broad daylight, but Yang Lian felt a creepy sense of fear, as if something was crawling up her spine, making her shiver.

"What time is it now?" Sun Hang asked, pointing at the electronic clock hanging on the wall.

The time displayed on the electronic clock screen was 1:30 p.m.

"Three thirty in the morning," said the female administrator.

The conference room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
