Chapter 54 The clock on the building
As time passed by, the atmosphere in the temporary barracks gradually became uneasy.
Although most of the missing people were confused when they were brought in, there were still many people who knew the situation. Thanks to word of mouth, all 188 people soon knew about it. What is he about to face?
At the beginning, some people protested, believing that the Federation had no right to restrict their personal freedom, and some even tried to attack the blockade - after all, this group of people had finally escaped from the abnormal time and space and returned to the world they were familiar with, but now they were told Them: The matter is not over yet. You yourself have become that abnormal node. If you were anyone else, your mentality would not be much better.
But after the protests were completely ignored and the attack on the blockade became completely hopeless, people gradually accepted this fact.
Of course, the main reason was what Sun Hang said to them through the radio after the four tough guys tried to escape and were knocked to the ground by the soldiers with riot shields and dragged back to the camp.
"You also know in your hearts that all abnormalities are real, and the time in your perception is not consistent with this world, so don't take any chances. Even if you successfully escape from this place, you have to face it alone If there is an abnormal situation in the future, it is better to stay together with everyone so that we can take care of each other in case of any emergencies.”
Except for a few people with personality defects, most people have a herd mentality. After hearing what Sun Hang said, everyone thought that it made sense, and suddenly became much quieter.
However, as the daylight faded, the crowd began to commotion.
This is the fear of the unknown, and fear is an emotion that is very easy to spread among people.
From the perspective of Sun Hang and others, this is the beginning of daytime (5:00am), but from the perspective of this group of people, it is the fall of night (7:00pm).
After many tests, Sun Hang and the others were basically certain that the "point in time" of these missing people was exactly ten hours behind the real world.
"Tell your subordinates that they should maintain order in the temporary barracks. There must be no trouble at this time." Sun Hang pulled the officer who accompanied him over and said seriously, "But please don't Let the soldiers approach the temporary barracks. My suggestion is to bring two high-pressure water cannons to control the area.”
"Are you sure something will really happen today?" The doubt in the officer's eyes was much lighter than before, but it has not been completely eliminated.
This officer's military rank is senior colonel and he is also the second-in-command of Longquanyi Air Force Base. When the base commander was kidnapped by Ye Xuan, he can basically be regarded as the person with the highest authority level on the scene.
"I can't be 100% sure, but the abnormality on them has not been eliminated, and you know this."
The colonel slowly exhaled a breath and said nothing.
Not long ago, he asked the soldiers to find several missing people, point to the giant time board outside the camp, and ask them one by one about the time they saw - without exception, the time everyone answered was longer than the colonel's. The time you see with your own eyes is delayed by ten hours.
"Do you remember more details about the second 'resonance'?" Yang Lian asked.
"The memory is already very blurry. The more I think about it, the higher the distortion of the picture becomes." Sun Hang shook his head, "I can only remember that what I saw was a cloudy sky, and the location should be the rooftop of the research institute. , and then I can see the high-rise buildings in the business district in the distance...Wait a minute! The high-rise buildings! ”
"What's wrong? Have you discovered anything new?" The senior colonel, who had already turned away, became excited and immediately came over again. "Yang Lian, call the people at the research institute and ask them to go to the rooftop immediately and take some photos in the direction of the business district for me!" Sun Hang said.
"Okay!"
In less than five minutes, dozens of photos were sent via email.
It can be seen that the shooting tools used by the photographer are quite professional. On a cloudy morning with such thick fog, the buildings in the commercial district in the distance can be photographed so clearly. Many details may not even be visible to the naked eye, but But it is clearly shown in the photo.
"What's the name of this tall building?" Sun Hang asked, pointing to a tall building half-hidden behind the clouds and mist in the first photo.
"It's the Financial Center Building. It's the tallest building in Tianfu City. There are four hundred..." Yang Lian got stuck mid-sentence because she had also discovered the key to the problem.
At the top of the glass curtain wall of the Financial Center Building are four huge screens. When there are no commercial activities or other special circumstances, these four screens display four huge clock dials with a diameter of more than 20 meters - in research In this photo taken by my colleague, on the virtual dial of the Financial Center Building, the two hands are exactly pointing at 5:08.
In the "virtual picture" seen by Second Resonance, there is actually the key information of time!
Looking at Yang Lian's earnest eyes, Sun Hang shook his head with some difficulty.
"I can't remember... I can't remember it at all." Sun Hang murmured, "I only vaguely remember that there seems to be a clock hanging on a building, but what time the clock shows is, I have no memory at all. .”
"Is it because the memory is blurred, or is the clock just showing off?" Wang Xiyi asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What do you mean...that clock is 'just an appearance'?" the colonel on the side asked with some confusion.
"It means that the clock is a decoration. It is just a clock and will not provide you with any information other than that." Wang Xiyi explained, "The clock is just a conceptual existence. If you know there is a clock there, you can also You 'see' that clock, but that clock doesn't show time... because it's just a clock, a concept of an object."
"That is to say, that clock is probably blank, not even a pointer?" the colonel said with a hint of understanding.
"There may be pointers, but they don't point to any number." Wang Xiyi said, "Of course, according to your understanding, it is correct."
"No... I remember that the pointer on the clock pointed to a certain number... However, there seemed to be a force in the dark, telling me not to pay attention to that clock, making me forget what I saw Everything..." Sun Hang pressed his hands on the temples on both sides of his head, "The more I think about it, the blurrier the picture becomes... I can't even see the shape of the central building clearly now. "< br>
"If it's just a simple blur of memory, I have a solution." Wang Xiyi picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Director... we need support." Wang Xiyi said into the microphone, "Apply to call the contained monster 'Ji 1992' and send it to the air force base as quickly as possible."
