Containing monsters? Call me 749 the God of Slaughter!

The writing ends here.

The edges of the paper showed signs of burning.

Li Haotian stared at the sketch and suddenly remembered the ability test he had done in the testing room yesterday.

The six metal pillars that rose from the platform were strikingly similar to the device in the sketch.

Is the bureau already using the sister's design?

Li Haotian's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stood up and walked outside.

He had to go to the shelter to see his sister's belongings!

......

Board the special vehicle bound for Containment Facility No. 7.

Besides him, there were three researchers in white lab coats on the bus.

Everyone was looking down at their tablets, and no one spoke.

The car drove out of the city and into the mountains.

The road winds its way through dense forests on both sides.

About an hour later, the car passed through a checkpoint and entered what appeared to be an ordinary research park.

Li Haotian secretly activated his [Spiritual Vision] and could see that the entire park was shrouded in a faint energy field, like some kind of protective shield.

After getting off the bus, he swiped his card at the reception desk to verify his identity.

The guards carefully checked his temporary access and made him go through a full-body scan before letting him pass.

"Sector B3, Containment Unit 3." The guard handed him a map.

"Do not enter the red-marked area, do not touch any containment items, and do not stay for more than two hours."

"clear."

Following the map, Li Haotian walked through several corridors and took the elevator down to the third basement level.

The walls here are made of thick metal, and there is a surveillance camera every few meters on the ceiling, with flashing red lights.

The corridor is lined with heavy, sealed doors, each marked with a number and hazard level.

Li Haotian found B3-03, and the label on the door read: "Project No.: D-2019-047 Related Sample".

He swiped his card, and the door slowly slid open.

Inside was a small observation room.

One side is a transparent glass wall, through which you can see the containment units inside.

The unit was empty except for a metal platform in the center, on which several charred fragments were fixed.

It looks like the wreckage of some kind of equipment after it exploded.

There is a control console in front of the glass wall, with a screen and operation buttons.

Li Haotian approached and saw the information about the sample displayed on the screen:

Project Number: D-2019-047

[Source: Explosion site at Jiangcheng University Physics Laboratory]

[Description: Debris from a dimensional stabilizer prototype; faint residual anomalous energy detected]

【Hazard Level: D (Low)】

[Research Progress: Energy decay in progress, complete inerting expected within three years]

This is the wreckage of my sister's experimental equipment.

Li Haotian stared at the charred fragments, imagining that night three years ago:

Li Mingyue was conducting an experiment there when the equipment overloaded and exploded.

Then, she disappeared.

Li Haotian took a deep breath.

Reach out and press a button on the console to bring up more detailed research records.

The screen scrolled, mostly displaying technical analysis, but one passage caught his attention:

[Anomaly-like spatial coordinate remnants were detected in the sample, pointing to: N31°14', E121°29' (East China Sea high seas area).]

[These coordinates coincide with the locations of three Class A anomalies, suggesting the possible existence of a stable dimensional fissure.]

East China Sea coordinates.

It's the same as the one in my sister's notebook.

Li Haotian's heart raced.

Has your sister been there?

Or is her disappearance related to that coordinate?

He continued flipping through the records and discovered another interesting piece of information:

[Comparative analysis: The sample's energy characteristics show a 0.7% similarity to the primary containment object of Containment Site 7 (Item #: A-001), suggesting they are from the same technological origin.]

A-001?

What is that?

Li Haotian's eyes flashed, and he tried to retrieve the information of A-001.

However, a message popped up on the screen: "Insufficient permissions".

Li Haotian immediately frowned.

Why do the remains of my sister's equipment bear a resemblance to high-level containment objects in the Bureau?

Could it be that my sister's research... drew upon some strange things?

Just then, the door to the observation room suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man wearing a white coat and glasses walked in and paused for a moment when he saw Li Haotian.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

Li Haotian showed his temporary access card: "Trainee Investigator Li Haotian, Director Chu has approved my visit to examine this sample."

The man took the card and swiped it on his device.

After confirming that everything was correct, his expression softened: "I am the person in charge of this project, Dr. Wang."

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know what the connection is between this sample and my sister Li Mingyue's research."

Dr. Wang glanced at him, his expression becoming complex: "You're Li Mingyue's brother?"

"Yes."

"Follow me." Dr. Wang paused for a moment, then gestured for him to follow.

The two left the observation room, walked through several corridors, and arrived at a small conference room.

Dr. Wang closed the door and dimmed the lights.

The screen on the wall lit up, displaying a series of complex charts.

"Your sister is a genius," Dr. Wang said bluntly.

"Her theory of dimensional stabilizers is at least ten years ahead of the bureau's current technology."

"But she... was too radical."

"What do you mean?"

"She believes that to solve unusual problems, we must take the initiative."

Dr. Wang switched screens and displayed a sketch.

The sketch was similar to the one Li Haotian saw in his sister's notebook, but more complete.

"She wants to create a device that can actively scan, locate, and even close dimensional gaps."

"But doing so carries enormous risk and could provoke the entity on the other side of the rift."

Li Haotian stared at the sketch: "Does the bureau support her research?"

"There are significant differences of opinion," Dr. Wang sighed.

"Director Chu supports this, believing it to be a fundamental solution."

"But Deputy Director Zhao objected, arguing that such behavior was too reckless and lacked theoretical support."

"In the end, Director Chu overruled all objections and granted your sister resources and authority."

"Then what happened in my sister's lab..."

"No one knows exactly what happened that night," Dr. Wang said with a grave expression.

"The energy peak recorded by the monitoring equipment exceeded all predictions."

"By the time we arrived, the lab was destroyed, the equipment had exploded, and your sister was missing."

"Are the monitoring records still available?"

"Yes, but it's encrypted. Access requires at least a bureau chief level." Dr. Wang looked at him.

"If you really want to investigate, perhaps you should ask Director Chu, but..."

"But what?"

Dr. Wang suddenly lowered his voice: "Deputy Director Zhao is currently reviewing all the Class A case files from three years ago, including your sister's case."

It's Zhao Wenbin again.

Li Haotian noted it down.

Before leaving the conference room, Dr. Wang hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's one more thing."

"Your sister came to see me once a week before she disappeared."

"She said she had discovered a secret within the department."

"What secret?"

Dr. Wang shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything specific, only that it was related to the true purpose of the contained items."

"I thought she was under too much pressure and was overthinking things."

"But thinking about it now, maybe... she really did discover something."
