Chapter 6 Phantoms

Ronan stared at it for a long time and determined that there was nothing that needed to be added or deleted. Then he simply did some 3D processing on the completed sketch, transferred it to the on-board brain database, and imported his own work into the video recording through the image cutting function.

In the image.

Although Phantom Speed's intelligent brain function is incredible, this kind of professional image splicing still requires professional software processing. It is done temporarily and is completely different from the style of painting, which seems quite weird.

But for Ronan, this inferior spliced ​​image is the most consistent with his memory.

At that moment, Ronan clearly saw a huge demonic shadow emerging from the bursting fire, more than a hundred meters high, roaring angrily in the dust of the collapsed ruins.

The roaring sonic impact was like a heavy punch, and like a giant wheel running over it. Ronan felt that his internal organs were deforming, the flesh and blood all over his body made a bursting sound, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and death...

For a moment, he really thought it was over.

This is the full picture of what he saw and felt!

The real world is not a fantasy movie, and Ronan also knew that what he saw and heard was too bizarre. So he returned to the scene of the incident, compared the scene environment, watched the video playback, and also observed the reaction of the surrounding area.

As for the results...bland, normal, no surprises.

Hallucination?

Ronan slowly stretched out his fingers, closed his eyes again, adjusted his breathing, and chanted the sixteen-character mantra silently. In the void, he visualized the appearance of graphics, including the regular tetrahedron and its incisions, and the circumscribed sphere slowly rotating. The first few circles were slightly

Stifled, I slowly regained my fluency.

Hallucinations...that's not what visualizing graphics means.

The visual image shows that the "vessel" is slightly damaged, but is recovering quickly.

Years of marathon-style long-distance running training have not given Ronan a particularly strong body, but they have given him excellent resilience and recovery capabilities.

It's not a big problem, but Ronan is very concerned about it.

In fact, Ronan already had the answer in his own logic, but he did not rush to a conclusion. After thinking for a moment, he gave the command to Zhi Nao and asked for a copy of the environmental data collected at that time.

Soon, a list of relevant information will appear.

At the time of the incident, the initial "earthquake stage" had passed, and the surrounding air pressure was 104 kilopascals, which was basically the same as the standard atmospheric pressure; the decibel level of the sonic blast was just close to 90, which was not enough to damage hearing; the instantaneous wind speed at the incident site was 44 kilometers per hour.

, which is the level of wind at level 6. In addition, various data such as temperature, humidity, and radiation values ​​are within the normal range.

Judging from the data, it was just an ordinary, slightly noisy windy day. Such an environment scared the two old men out of their wits? Are you kidding me?

Another point……

In the analysis video, Ronan marked the distance with his finger: "The distance between the broken bridge and the center of the earthquake is 2.9 kilometers in a straight line. The sound wave transmission should be delayed by about 8 seconds, but in reality?"

Cold data is more authoritative than memory, and more incredible. The above shows that the time when the Phantom Speed ​​​​received the strong sonic vibration was even 7 milliseconds earlier than the eruption of fire.

The sound ran through the light... As far as common sense is concerned, it is obviously absurd. The source of the boom and fire was torn into two pieces in front of the data.

At this point, there is an obvious discrepancy between the fire and the explosive sound, and between the explosive sound and the human body's reaction.

Ronan raised his head, stopped watching any images and videos, and leaned back heavily on the chair.

Hallucination? Bullshit hallucination!

In the dark, there is clearly a force, a strange force, that interferes with the connection between the parties and fills the originally blank area!

The burning shadow is the "symbol" of this power.

This is unscientific... What Ronan wants is "unscientific"!

The "format theory" established by my grandfather has entered the metaphysical field from the beginning.

Emotionally, Ronan is almost fanatical about his grandfather's theory, and can even put it on an equal footing with life; but as far as the current results are concerned, he can't find a clear reference.

Even if the methods of "big stomach king" and "hypnotist" have exceeded the limits of ordinary people, their level of ability is not decisive. At least, it has never reached the level of "qualitative change".

What is the qualitative change of "self-format"? What is the standard for qualitative change? If it is the so-called "extraordinary power", what is its manifestation?

Ronan could not find the answer in his grandfather's complicated and messy experimental records.

For five years, he studied alone and talked to himself. He seemed to be making progress step by step, but he was still unable to solve a "standard" problem.

And now, the reference appears!

The blood pumped out by the heart was as hot as magma, but Ronan finally just took a deep breath, held the notebook with his ten fingers, lightly touched his chin, and suppressed the double throbbing of his limbs and heart.

It's not the time to celebrate yet, but that power has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, and it seems that it may return to the world behind the dark curtain at any time...

He still has a lot of work to do.

At this time, the on-board brain completed the route switch and changed the route. However, the destruction of an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers had a considerable impact on urban traffic. Even in the early morning, many air traffic levels were temporarily closed, and driving

Slight congestion began to occur, and vehicles were unable to speed up.

Ronan deleted the data and retrieval records automatically stored by the brain to avoid exposing the information about the Burning Shadow and causing complications. Then he opened the news channel and searched for reports about the "earthquake".

Because the interval is too short, most media are still in the short message broadcast stage. Only the "Star Alliance" showed the arrogance of a world-class media and promptly purchased the overhead shots of the surveillance drone near the incident site, combined with the satellite

Images, captured first-hand information.

This video, which is less than two minutes long, has been continuously promoted on social media and has gained more and more attention.

Looking at the overhead images makes it clearer, the viaduct is really only the periphery. As for the "epicenter", it has completely collapsed. The huge amount of ruins still cannot fill the collapsed area, exposing a huge pit with a faint blue electric light inside.

It is particularly eye-catching under the dim light of the sky.

What was the situation in the giant pit? How many casualties were there? No media has an exact report.

At this time, the municipal government and the police began to intervene and guide traffic on the periphery. The cleanup and rescue work had not yet officially begun, but transport aircraft had appeared in the sky and began to airdrop various engineering robots.

Relatively speaking, the government's response has been very rapid...at least far beyond its average level.

The speed of the speeding car is getting slower and slower. While the police are diverting traffic, they are also doing some checks on passing vehicles. I don't know whether there is one or not. I don't know what the standard is, but it seems like a routine matter.

Ronan won the prize.

The policeman on the side of the road signaled him to stop, wait for the car window to open, and then made a request: "Sir, to avoid interfering with the search and rescue work, please turn off the vehicle radar and related equipment."

Ronan suddenly understood and cooperated very well. He issued instructions in front of the other party to close the relevant system functions.

The police waved him off.

However, as soon as the car started moving, the temporary guide bar in front suddenly closed again, and the police took two steps to catch up and signaled to stop again. However, this instruction was not just for Ronan, but included all vehicles in the lane.

Those who are impatient will shout: "What's going on!"

"Temporary transfer of rescue equipment, the traffic level near the scene is temporarily closed, please be patient and patient."

This policeman is about forty years old. He looks calm and has a kind attitude. However, no one dares to stab him in front of him, because this is a standard riot police officer, wearing a defensive combat uniform with a

With the support of arm armor, it is more than two meters tall and has a sturdy back. It can lift a flying car weighing one ton and throw it across the road.

Equipment? They were airdropped just now. If they come again, the accident area may not be expanded...

Ronan looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was getting brighter and his field of vision expanded. There was indeed a medium-sized transport ship hovering in the sky. It seemed to be from the military, but he did not see any equipment being dropped.

"Things are changing!"

On the news channel, a senior on-site reporter from the Star Alliance took pictures of the incident area from a helicopter and described the current situation:

"The congestion in the surrounding areas has become more serious, and more and more vehicles are parked. However, at present, the government and the police have not focused on diverting traffic. On the contrary, the police control measures have become more stringent, and the scope of the blockade continues to expand...

…”

Car owners stuck on the road will definitely resonate with this report. Most of the surrounding roads have been turned into parking lots, and the positions of many cars have not changed at all for more than ten minutes.

The inspections by the riot police are more stringent, and some vehicles that have just been inspected will have to be inspected again.

Compared to the complaints from other car owners, Ronan is much calmer. His current task is to collect relevant information and stay near the incident site for a while, which is exactly what he wants.

He switched between several news channels, looking for valuable news. At the same time, he also turned his attention to self-media, forums and communities he frequented. While watching the news, he browsed the web, in-car smart computers, paper-like soft screens, and even mobile phones.

Everyone was mobilized and very busy, but they had no clue for the time being.

Less than half an hour before the incident occurred, no media outlets had produced in-depth reports. There were also mostly rumors on self-media and social software. It was too difficult to sift out useful information.

"The news will take a while..."

Ronan shook his head, swiped his fingers across the soft screen, and subconsciously clicked on an icon. The interface opened. The familiar dark background and scattered stars were the Secret Star forum where he logged in most often.

For Ronan, the Secret Star Forum is a purchasing channel. For safety reasons, he never speaks in the public forum, and at most he browses some topics of interest.

Niche professional forums are slow to respond to breaking news, and it is difficult to generate discussion enthusiasm. It is of little significance to collect information here.

He came in purely out of habit.

The hot topic that was pushed to the main interface today does not seem to have any news value. The title is "Collective Nightmare, Spiritual Wave Release", which is a typical occult style.

Ronan was not interested in this kind of topic. Now that he had some free time, he thought about sending a private message to the moderator of the internal forum to try to unblock the account in advance.

After spending a few minutes talking, when Ronan exited the private message interface, he saw that on the home page, the number of discussion pages on hot topics had increased several times, which had stimulated the "bright star" effect. The topic interface was pulled out and turned into a star.

Burning stars.

At this time, perhaps one of the moderators felt that the original title was not directional enough, so he made another change. The topic flashed and became "Xiacheng R&D Zone Earthquake Nightmare Focused Discussion Post, open a new merge".

"Ouch?"

Ronan was surprised and went in immediately.

The content of the main building is very simple. According to the description of the building owner "U Ling", he is a resident of Xiacheng who lives near the R&D area. He was sleeping when the earthquake occurred. Half asleep and half awake, he had a dream. In the dream, his whole body

They were all engulfed in flames, and heard a huge roar. The shock wave was like a giant wheel crushing the whole body, which meant "ghost crushing the bed".

If that's all, it's nothing. The key is that when the U spirit started to wake up, the wife next to him also woke up with a fright - the couple had just had the same dream, and every detail was very close, as if they were watching the show together.

horror movie!

U Ling posted this experience on the forum, but no one paid attention at first. He himself didn't take it seriously, so he just started a live earthquake news broadcast in the post.

Unexpectedly, just a few minutes later, someone opened another topic, talking about earthquake nightmares. The content of the dream was almost exactly the same as the U spirit's description.

After that, people followed up one after another, some responded to the post, and some opened another post to speak. Eventually, the Secret Star Forum exploded in the early morning, and a big discussion started.

Then again, the popularity of niche forums has its limits. Ronan quickly scanned the discussion content of the posts at a glance, feeling that there were still many interesting things to say.

"There are only two or three examples with real personal experience..."

No matter how small the Secret Star Forum is, its members come from all over the world, with more than 70,000 registered IDs. Divided by 88, there are still less than 1,000 people, and even fewer live near the R&D area.

Some people have realized this and began to import relevant topic materials from mainstream communities and self-media.

Things are easier to do when there are more people. The news that Ronan worked so hard to find was revealed in a blowout under the collective search of thousands of people.

Many people were shocked to realize that the topic of "Xiacheng Collective Nightmare" had formed an undercurrent on the Internet and was gaining momentum.

On the Secret Star Forum, the atmosphere of discussion became even more lively. Even though the moderator had already established the rule of "opening a new merge", some people were still opening new topics and taking related topics in-depth.

There is an ID of "Historical Shredder". I opened a new post and created a statistical chart for this incident. I imported all relevant cases on the Internet into it and updated them continuously. Soon it also inspired the "Bright Star"

"Effect.

Ronan felt that what he said was meaningful and the data was compiled very well.

"As can be seen from the schematic diagram, the range of influence of the 'Nightmare Wave' reaches up to 300 kilometers away, covering the entire Xiacheng. Centered on the incident area, with a radius of about ten kilometers, I call it the 'core area'.

There are currently more than 20 cases online, regardless of whether the person involved is asleep or awake."

The "Historical Shredder" has sorted out more than 50 valid cases, half of which are in the core area.

As for outside the core area, the density of occurrences drops significantly. The farther away they are, the rarer they are, and it is difficult to verify.

However, the "Historical Shredder" claimed that according to his understanding, a considerable number of the sensors outside the core area are people recognized as "practicing" in the circle. He said that he will continue to update the relevant data and hopes to get everyone's help.

So much.

Later, U Ling, who was the first to post, also replied here, saying that he would take his wife to the hospital for a checkup soon and would post the results on the forum, which caused a lot of "just wait and see" voices.

Ronan gently pinched his chin, and then contacted the school's medical department through his bracelet and made an appointment for a physical examination. He was going to compare it with the U Ling couple's examination results.

"Bang bang, bang bang!"

A discordant noise suddenly reached my ears, and the window on the side of the cab was knocked hard.

Ronan was stunned. Just after this pause, the man outside stomped on the car door. The sharp voice that followed, even the fully sound-insulated car body, could not withstand it:

"Xie Junping, come out!"
