Chapter 152 Level [-] Abnormal Event
Ning Xiu serves as the captain of the 749th Bureau Division.
Such an unpredictable situation happened, and she also needs to bear part of the responsibility.
In 749 games, it usually seems like there is nothing to do.
Because since the millennium.
All kinds of abnormal events have been reduced a lot.
Level one abnormal events almost never happened.
It has been peaceful for more than 20 years.
People who entered Bureau 749 after the millennium almost never encountered any unusual events.
Some people even doubt whether all the abnormal events in this world have disappeared.
Some people say that the scale of these 749 games needs to be reduced.
It doesn't take so many years anymore.
The less things happen in the 749 games, it proves that the world is more peaceful, which is a good thing.
Something like the last incident with the strange beast Gu Eagle has not happened for many years.
But they are all well-trained people.
But this was the first time I encountered a live alien beast.
Like the water monsters on the other side of the Tianshan Mountains and the savages in Shennongjia.
This is already a matter of the last century.
After entering the millennium, almost no strange beasts were discovered.
So when the Gu carving appeared, the higher authorities paid more attention to it.
However, it was just a level [-] abnormal event, and it did not cause any great impact.
But this time the weird thing was completely different.
Ning Xiu was already contacting his superiors.
"If this is really what Ye Zhen said, it can erase the existence of others."
"And made the rest forget she existed."
"Then this can be considered a first-level abnormal event."
Someone from above will be sent over soon.
"Yes, we can already confirm that it is a first-level abnormal event."
"What exactly it is, we can't predict now."
"We can't even tell whether it's a strange beast or a strange object."
Ning Xiu truthfully reported to the above.
The other party just agreed: "Okay, we already know the specific situation."
"We will send someone there soon, please be careful."
After Ning Xiu reported the matter, she did not feel relaxed.
Came directly to the office of Bureau 749.
Their 749 Bureau department is in a secret place.
Outsiders have no idea such a place exists.
And there is actually an office in this place.
After watching Ning Xiu come back, Old Chen stood up from his chair and asked, "Captain, is there any progress?"
Ning Xiu looked solemn, "It's a first-level abnormal event."
Level [-] abnormal event? After hearing this, Lao Chen immediately became nervous.
As the oldest person in Bureau 749, Lao Chen comes from the last century.
And I saw a lot back then.
"General abnormal events, as long as they fall outside the scope of science, can be included in the abnormal events. Generally, these are level five."
"Level [-] abnormal events are the lowest level." Lao Chen explained.
As long as it is classified as a level five abnormal event, it means that there is a power beyond science behind it.
For example, some people found the murderer in their dreams, some said they were abducted by aliens, and so on.
As long as it is this type of thing, it only needs to be verified.
All can be classified as level five abnormal events.
Level [-] anomalies are beginning to have an impact on the real world.
For example, some cows were found to have died inexplicably on some farms, and after investigation, it was found that the cause was not caused by humans or wild animals.
This is generally a level four abnormal event.
In the third kind of contact, people saw aliens and strange beasts such as vultures.
It is also a level four abnormal event.
And what about level one?It has the potential to destroy a country.
This is a first-level abnormal event.
Lao Chen himself has been working in the 749 Bureau for almost 30 years.
None of them have encountered a first-level abnormal event.
After all, this may lead to the destruction of the country.
"And a first-level abnormal event can lead to the destruction of a country." Old Chen's voice trembled slightly: "Captain, are you sure it is a first-level abnormal event?"
Ning Xiu asked: "Do any of you remember that there are actually five members in our team?"
"In addition to Lao Chen, Bin Zhou, Xiao Wu and me, there is a fifth person."
When Ning Xiu said this, the whole office immediately fell silent.
"This is impossible, captain." Binzhou was the first to say: "If there really is this fifth person, how could we not remember it at all."
Lao Chen also agreed: "Yes, if there is a fifth person who disappears for no reason, there will definitely be some trace left behind."
Xiao Wu was alone and didn't know what he was thinking, "What's the name of the fifth person?"
Ning Xiu also learned from Ye Zhen, "My name is Liang Ya, do you guys have any impressions?"
Several people present shook their heads, indicating that they were not impressed.
"That's why it's scary." Ning Xiu sighed, "Erasing someone silently."
"Maybe more than one person, maybe ten, a hundred?"
"We won't remember it anyway."
They finally knew why this time was classified as a first-level abnormal event.
Because if we continue to eliminate them like this, there may not be anyone left on Blue Star.
No one knows what the scope and limitations of this elimination are.
One person at a time?Or ten people?Or the whole city?
No one knows now. "Wake up your energy." Ning Xiu began to direct: "Bin Zhou, please go and search in our system about the fifth person Liang Ya."
"Whether it's information or whatever, it's fine."
"Any record that ever existed will do, as long as you can find it."
"Old Chen, the branch will send someone over to assist us."
"When the time comes, I'll trouble you to receive them."
"Captain, what about me?" Xiao Wu pointed at himself, "My injury is almost healed."
Ning Xiu glanced at Xiao Wu and thought for a moment, "You and Bin Zhou should go check out the missing Liang Ya and see if there are any traces of her existence in the real world."
"Let's start taking action." Ning Xiu clapped her hands.
……
Back to Ye Zhen's side, Ye Zhen learned from Secretary Qin that the thing might be the legendary Nian Beast.
A special kind of beast that lives in time and space.
"Nian beast?" Ye Zhen immediately thought of the things to do during the New Year.
If anyone is the most familiar with this aspect of things.
They must be tired of winning.
After all, festivals, a kind of worship thing, are essentially the art of hating victory.
"Professor Zhou, this is Ye Zhen." Ye Zhen dialed the phone immediately, "I have something very important to ask you."
Professor Zhou was studying ancient books in the college at this time, "I am free now, you can come over now."
"Sorry." After Ye Zhen hung up the phone, he immediately went to take a taxi.
While in the car, Ye Zhen called Ning Xiu again.
"Hello? Consultant Ye, is there any clue about the matter?" Ning Xiu received Ye Zhen's call and asked directly.
"There has indeed been progress. I know what the thing I saw is." Ye Zhen said while sitting in the car holding his cell phone, "That is the legendary Nian beast."
"Nian Beast?" Ning Xiu frowned slightly, obviously familiar and unfamiliar with this name.
"It's the New Year when we usually celebrate the New Year." Ye Zhen began to explain to Ning Xiu.
"Since ancient times, we have had the custom of celebrating the New Year, right?"
"In ancient times, the end of the year was a very difficult time for everyone."
"The Chinese New Year was also called the end of the year."
"Because there is a monster called the Nian beast that will come out to eat people on that day."
"As long as you get through it, you can be stable for another year."
“That’s what New Year’s Eve is all about.”
Ning Xiu listened quietly to what Ye Zhen said.
"In other words, the thing we encountered was a Nian beast?"
"It ate my teammates?"
Ye Zhen replied softly: "You can think of it this way, this Nian beast is a very special beast."
"Those who are eaten seem to be erased without leaving any traces."
Ning Xiu asked: "Then why are you the only one who remembers that she disappeared, but we don't remember."
Ye Zhen asked: "What color is the most popular during your Chinese New Year?"
"Red?" Ning Xiu answered directly.
"Yes, it's red. Maybe this year's beast is afraid of this color."
"Perhaps this color has some other function." Ye Zhen explained, "This year is my birth year."
"So I bought twelve pairs of red underwear, and I've been wearing them all this year."
"Bah! Rogue!" Ning Xiu's face turned red at this moment, "Why are you suddenly talking about this!"
Ye Zhen explained: "Maybe it's because of this reason that I can remember Xiaoya's memory being erased."
"You mean wearing red clothes can remember the people erased by the Nian beast?" Ning Xiu knew what Ye Zhen meant.
"This is just my guess."
Because during the Chinese New Year, it is necessary to hang red lanterns, wear red clothes, and post red couplets.
Why does everything need to be red? Because that is the color that Nian beast is afraid of!
Ye Zhen suspects that the Nian beast lives in time and space.
After pulling others in, there will be a distorted sense of black and white.
Therefore, the world where the Nian beast is located has no color.
As one of the three primary colors, red is the most conspicuous.
Because red has the longest wavelength of all colors.
This red color may be as dazzling as the sun to the Nian beast.
After Ning Xiu knew this key point, he immediately wanted to tell his team members.
"This point is very critical, Advisor Ye." Ning Xiu said anxiously; "I need to tell my team members immediately."
“Every second counts now and we may all be in danger.”
"By the way, there's one more thing." Just when Ye Zhen wanted to tell Ning Xiu more important information.
Ning Xiu had already hung up the phone.
Ning Xiu called his other team members.
"Old Chen, you are wearing bright red clothes these days."
"Xiao Zhou, do you have any red clothes at home? Go back and change them immediately."
After Ning Xiu informed the two of them, she felt as if she had forgotten something.
"I am Lao Chen and Xiao Zhou." Ning Xiu held the phone, "There are only three people in our bureau."
"Who else should I notify?" Ning Xiu looked at herself opening the phone interface and was stunned for a moment.
It seemed like he wanted to notify someone.
Ye Zhen had already arrived at Professor Zhou's college at this time.
"Professor Zhou." Ye Zhen came directly to the library where Professor Zhou was.
"Mr. Ye, are you here?" Professor Zhou raised his head and glanced at Ye Zhen, "What did you come to see me for?"
"Have you figured it out and want to join us in our victory-hate?"
Professor Zhou wanted to accept Ye Zhen as his student before, but he later found out after watching Ye Zhen's show.
Ye Zhen's ability is not inferior to him at all, and is completely on the same level as him.
If he wants to be Ye Zhen's teacher, he has nothing to give to Ye Zhen.
"I want to know about the art of hating victory during the Chinese New Year."
Using witchcraft to deal with strange beasts, isn't this what the ancients did in ancient times? (End of this chapter)
