Chapter 154 The strange beast that feeds on time This was the first time Ye Zhen came to the 749 Bureau branch.
Because this branch has always been a very mysterious place.
It is not open to the outside world at all, and no one admits that this place ever existed.
Ye Zhen initially said: "Do you need me to cover my eyes or knock me unconscious before I go in?"
Ning Xiu rolled her eyes at Ye Zhen, "You must have read too many novels."
Ye Zhen didn't expect that Bureau 749 would be in this place.
"Wait." Ye Zhen put something similar to a sleeve on his left hand and pressed a button.
"What is this?" Ning Xiu asked in confusion.
Ye Zhen just replied: "This is a life-saving thing, I made it myself."
Ye Zhen had obtained [Mechanical Heart] before, not to mention such a gadget, even a spaceship!
If there are enough materials and technology, Ye Zhen can do it in minutes! It's impossible to rub it out with your hands. Ye Zhen is not that bad yet.
However, Ye Zhen can now be said to be handy with some mechanical gadgets.
After Ye Zhen put on the sleeve with his left hand, the fingers of his left hand kept touching his thumb.
Just like the magic stick in the TV series.
"Are you Xiao Liuren?" Ning Xiu looked at Ye Zhen's fingers on his left hand and asked, "Can Xiao Liuren drive away the Nian beast?"
Ning Xiu expressed her disbelief.
After Ning Xiu entered, she found that besides Lao Chen and Bin Zhou, there were other people.
"Captain, you're back." Old Chen looked at Ning Xiu walking over.
But at this time, Yang He's face no longer had the calm expression before.
"Task force report!" Yang He said with a trembling voice.
"Another number is missing. There are only seven people now." Yang He was sweating on his forehead.
The special exoskeleton team he brought did not even see the appearance of the enemy.
I don’t know how much has been lost.
Yang He recalled the scene when he first came, "Chen Jianjun, do you remember how many people there were when we came?"
"Think about it before answering me."
Old Chen thought for a while and replied: "Including Chief Yang He, there are 8 people in total."
This scene has been repeated countless times.
Bin Zhou watched from the sidelines as Yang He feebly repeated the process.
Almost every repetition has a missing digit missing.
Ye Zhen understood what the person in front of him was doing in an instant.
"It's useless. For Nian Beast, your actions have no effect at all."
The veins on Yang He's face were already exposed.
If it was a head-to-head battle, when had Yang He ever been afraid? But even the enemy can't see such a weird and abnormal event.
The unknown is the most frightening thing.
"This one is our captain, Ning Xiu." Lao Chen and Yang He introduced: "The other one is our external consultant, Mr. Ye."
"This is Yang He sent by the headquarters. Chief Yang and his eight special forces members."
Yang He no longer knows how many team members he has brought here.
I can just feel that my number of people is slowly decreasing.
Yang He glanced at Ye Zhen and found that Ye Zhen was pinching his fingers with his left hand as if counting something.
"External consultant? Don't be fooled by some Feng Shui master or the like."
Yang He and their headquarters also have external consultants.
After all, there are still many strange people in this world.
Ye Zhen explained to the people present: "The Nian beast is a special creature."
“We humans live in space and on the axis of time.”
"Nian is the other way around, with time as the living space and space as the axis."
Ye Zhen's explanation confused everyone present.
"To put it simply, this is a life form that lives in time and can move in and out of space at will."
"For it, there may be no concept of space."
Yang He didn't want to hear Ye Zhen's explanation, "How to deal with this strange beast."
At this moment, everyone present seemed to be enveloped by a force.
Everyone can feel a nameless sense of oppression.
All the colors in front of me are slowly fading away.
Everyone felt as if they were far away from the world.
It felt like I was being taken away from this world to a distant and lonely place.
Yang He also obviously felt it, and he wanted to act immediately.
But his body couldn't move, not even a finger.
At this moment, all of them seemed to hear a roar.
An inexplicable roar sounded like the voice of an ancient ferocious beast.
Ning Xiu immediately thought: "It's over, the group is going to be destroyed."
If there are outsiders here, they can also shoot and make a loud noise.
But now everyone is trapped in the power of Nian Beast.
Everyone couldn't move.
Sure enough, just like the previous speculation, the Nian beast can devour far more than one person.
Buzz!A huge sound spread from Ye Zhen's body.
There was a tragic roar, and a vague figure disappeared directly into the space.
Everyone was panting, and cold sweat was already covering their backs and foreheads.
"Is that Nian?" Ning Xiu was attacked for the first time.
Yang He knew that he had just escaped from the gate of hell.
"Was that the New Year just now?" Yang He couldn't imagine how he could attack such a strange beast.
Current human technology cannot cause any harm to this kind of creature.
Ye Zhen looked calm, as if this was what he expected. "Finally we drove it away."
Yang He looked at Ye Zhen at this time, his eyes were different.
If it hadn't been for the high-frequency sound coming from Ye Zhen's body just now.
Maybe all of them are going to disappear.
"When we celebrate the New Year, we have to wear red clothes, hang lanterns and set off firecrackers."
"These are the things Nian beast is most afraid of."
Ye Zhen explained to them, "The Nian beast will swallow up things in a certain space and time domain."
"Do you use time as food?" There was also a trace of shock on Yang He's resolute face wearing a one-eyed blindfold.
"Then why does it eat people?" Lao Chen asked a key question.
"Maybe there is something in humans that the Nian beast needs." Ye Zhen didn't know why the Nian beast wanted to eat 's just that in the legend of Nian, Nian can eat people.
In order to drive away the Nian beast, people celebrating the New Year have our New Year customs.
"But the Nian beast, isn't it supposed to come out during the Chinese New Year?" Binzhou didn't understand. It must be a long time before the Chinese New Year.
Everyone looked at Ye Zhen.
"Maybe it has something to do with people's willingness." Ye Zhen guessed, "In ancient times, almost every household followed these ancient customs."
"But the more modern we get, the more our technology develops."
"The flavor of the Chinese New Year is getting weaker and weaker, and the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse every year."
"Many young people today don't like celebrating the New Year."
"There aren't many of those ancient customs left."
Firecrackers cannot be set off and fireworks cannot be set off.
There was no loud noise or fire, so Nian Beast was certainly not afraid anymore.
And recently a notice was issued that overtime work is required on New Year's Eve.
It's even more aggravating.
Maybe this is the reason why the Nian beast comes out early.
"Consultant Ye, what is that thing on your left hand?" Bin Zhou was very curious as to what exactly was on Ye Zhen's left hand.
In fact, when Ye Zhen came in, everyone saw Ye Zhen pinching her fingers with her left hand.
The fingers never stopped.
Ye Zhen said with a smile: "This is the oldest witchcraft."
The oldest form of witchcraft?
If you were an ordinary person, how could you believe that you knew any witchcraft?
But they were all from Bureau 749, and they had just been saved by Ye Zhen.
They had no doubts about what Ye Zhen said.
In fact, this glove is just a trigger device.
Ye Zhen installed a high-frequency speaker on the sleeve.
The triggering condition is if the fingers of Ye Zhen's left hand do not touch each other continuously for more than one second.
Then that high-frequency loud noise will be triggered.
This is the method that Ye Zhen came up with to defend against the Nian beast.
"Maybe the beast is dead that year." Ye Zhen said suddenly, because when the high-frequency loud noise was released.
Ye Zhen saw that the outlineless Nian beast seemed to turn into an invisible mass and disappeared into the space.
"Dead?" Yang He couldn't believe that Nian Beast actually died like this? Ye Zhen looked at Yang He and took off the sleeve on his left hand.
"Do you think there is only one Nian beast?"
More than one? Yang He asked: "Is there any way to restrain this Nian beast?"
Yang He has experienced it himself, so he naturally knows how powerful this Nian Beast is.
"It's very simple. Just have a holiday on New Year's Eve, and then allow firecrackers and fireworks during the Chinese New Year."
Ye Zhen came up with a very simple solution.
Everything is done according to ancient customs.
Yang He was silent for a while, "I will report this matter to the superiors."
If we continue to celebrate the New Year like this, we will throw away our traditions.
When the beast returns, our descendants may be powerless.
The wizard forgot his own witchcraft and turned to technology.
This time Nian Beast's experience can be said to have ended tragically.
However, except for Ye Zhen, the others had no idea how many men were lost this time.
After Yang He returned to the 749 Bureau's Guangdong headquarters, he reported everything that happened here to the top.
The higher-ups also clearly understand the seriousness of this matter.
Sure enough, there is a reason why some customs of the ancients have been passed down for such a long time.
The final result is that the whole country will have an extra day off on New Year's Eve.
And starting from this year, firecrackers and fireworks can be set off across the country
Ning Xiu looked at the only two people left in his department.
I learned from Ye Zhen that there were originally five people in her department.
But now there are only three people left.
"If it hadn't been for Ye Zhen, I don't know what the consequences would have been this time." Ning Xiu understood that hiring Ye Zhen as an outsider was the right choice.
……
The next day.
In Yangcheng TV station.
As soon as Ye Zhen walked into the TV station, a colleague congratulated Ye Zhen.
"Congratulations, Teacher Ye, for winning the championship."
The same goes for taking the elevator.
"That's right. It's really amazing. I actually won the championship of Guangdong Province."
"In the future, when you become successful, don't forget your younger brothers."
"Can I ask you for advice, Mr. Ye, on how to do this program?"
"My son's school said it would like to invite you to give a lecture. I wonder if you are free, Mr. Ye?"
"We need a guest on our show. Teacher Ye, if you are free, can you come over?"
Ye Zhen understood after hearing the congratulations of so many people.
The results of this "New Generation Program Competition" are out.
Won the championship himself.
When Ye Zhen returned to his work station, Producer Chen was already waiting for Ye Zhen.
Producer Chen's face was filled with a smile, "Big star, now you are completely popular in Guangdong Province."
"That's the champion of the "New Generation Program Competition". He has a bright future."
"Remember to treat me to a meal, after all, the champion will have a bonus of 10 yuan!"
This shows that Ye Zhen is the strongest among the younger generation of hosts.
You must know that Ye Zhen has been in the industry for less than half a year.
Such results have been achieved.
In addition to a bonus of 10 yuan, Ye Zhen also received a promotion and a salary increase.
For workers, nothing is more affordable than promotion, salary increase and bonus.
But for Ye Zhen, who had just experienced life and death.
All this is just an ordinary life.
"I've already finished the manuscript for the next episode." Ye Zhen just said calmly.
