"What is it?" Zhang Ke hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully. This was also one of the things he cared about most.
"There's... nothing inside." Qingyang sighed and said, "The interior was tested for trace chemical substances. The only thing found was that there seemed to be some toxic substances stored inside."
"Poison gas?" Zhang Ke asked quickly.
"It is a relatively rare newly synthesized organic compound. It is a gas under normal conditions, but its boiling point is not very low, so in a slightly colder climate, it may liquefy into a fluid. In an open outdoor environment at room temperature, it is probably a gas-liquid combination.
It seems like this state." Qingyang said:
"However, it is just the residue attached to the package, which is not enough to cause poisoning. The inside of the package is indeed filled with normal air. Judging from its higher density, it is obviously rushed in intentionally. In other words,
When the courier delivered the package, it was just regular air inside."
"This..." Zhang Ke asked with some confusion, "Send a bag of useless air to the murderer. What is this? It can't be to give him oxygen, right?"
"This is also something that the police are puzzled about - although it is now being sent to a specialized gas analysis laboratory for further testing, there will basically be no new conclusions." Qingyang shook his head and said:
"Because the gas in that package is so ordinary. If it does contain any special substances, it is so small that it is almost negligible. It is almost like the other party deliberately made a joke on us."
"Are you joking on purpose?" Zhang Ke frowned, as if something suddenly occurred to him.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhang Ke? Do you have any ideas?"
"What if the other party is really joking with us - no, they have already predicted that we will stay there and plot against the murderer, so they replaced the original package one step ahead and changed it to this one without any problem.
Objects of meaning.”
"But how did the messenger know about our actions? We made the plan at the beginning of this reincarnation. Even your helper didn't know the general strategic plan until the last moment, and there was almost no delay in the middle. It was too late.
Showing some tricks for others to discover - it’s impossible for that messenger to really predict the future." Qingyang said:
"Obviously we have been predicting other people's actions these days. Why is it reversed today?"
"Predict other people's actions..." Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment, and suddenly forced himself to sit up. A sharp pain suddenly came from his abdomen, which made him grin, but he still managed to stand up and look out the window.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhang Ke?" Qingyang supported him anxiously and said reproachfully, "The doctor told you not to move around with your injury, why didn't you listen!"
"What's the shape of the moon outside?" Zhang Ke asked hurriedly, "Hurry up and open the curtains."
"It seems... a long and thin strip. This should be called the Emei Moon, right? And it's almost disappearing." Qingyang quickly walked to the window, opened the curtain and took a look before saying.
"The Emei Moon...sure enough, it's different from the last quarter moon I saw not long ago!" Zhang Ke stared at the window for a long time before finally speaking out his guess:
"Qingyang, I seem to have found another place that is not restarted and covered by the reincarnation of time!"
"What you are saying is..." Qingyang raised his head in disbelief and looked at the crescent moon in the sky like a hook.
"That's right, it's the moon, or to be more precise, it's the sky and the universe beyond a certain distance." Zhang Ke said excitedly, "Because I clearly remember that the moon phase in the night sky changed at least two or three times. This is still
Without deliberately observing the situation - I have reason to believe that the shape of the moon in the night sky is likely to change every day."
"In other words, does the scope of space-time cycle and restart only happen on the earth?" Qingyang pondered.
"Perhaps, it's not even that vast - it's just a hypothesis. Maybe the only area affected by the cycle of time and space is our city?" Zhang Ke once again put forward a more touching point of view.
Perhaps because this conclusion is even more shocking than the one just now, Qingyang's face showed an expression of disbelief for a moment, and he said with difficulty after half a minute: "...If this is the case, then once we try
Leave this city..."
"They will fail for all kinds of weird reasons, and end up being trapped within the confines of this city. Although I have not tried it myself, a trustworthy friend of mine has tried countless times.
I wanted to leave every time, but in the end, I always failed without exception." The friend Zhang Ke mentioned was of course Ritsuko.
When Ritsuko told him this before, he didn't know so much information about the Guixu organization like he does now, and he didn't pay attention to the changes in the moon in the sky, so he never expected this.
But now, combined with the various evidences and flaws I have discovered, it is almost certain that the control ability of the Guixu organization is really limited to this city of Shen.
The essential reason for this situation is probably because the mysterious technology they use to create time loops can only cover a city at its maximum.
The bright moon in the night sky is naturally far beyond their reach, so it still changes normally day after day. However, most people, even those who follow the time, will not notice the biggest flaw, and it will appear
on top of one's head.
"It seems that there is something wrong with my original conjecture model. The scale of the time loop does not reach the level of the universe or the planet, but is limited to a city. However, I think there is still something unreasonable." Qing
Yang raised his own objection:
"I don't think Big Brother's idea is wrong, but... if only the entire city of Shanghai has this abnormal phenomenon, and other surrounding cities have not changed, then in the eyes of people in the normal area, who are we?
What does it look like? It's impossible not to notice some clues. Once they notice the anomaly in Shanghai, people all over the world will try their best to interfere here, or try to contact us."
"Indeed... we have not seen any interference or influence from the outside until now." Zhang Ke thought silently - Qingyang's question is very reasonable. Shencheng is one of the most prosperous metropolises in the country, and it was suddenly removed from the city.
Poaching it from the map would definitely cause huge repercussions and panic, and it would be impossible not to notice it.
But this matter constitutes an extremely sharp contradiction with Guixu's principle of secrecy. If they want to conduct such a large-scale experiment, it will be impossible to conceal it. If the whole world discovers such a huge conspiracy, what will happen to Guixu?
It should be extremely difficult for the market.
Taking a step back, even if they really have to find a city to conduct a large-scale time loop experiment, they should still find that little-known third world country. Even if they disappear from the map for a hundred years, there will be no one.
Only remote places you care about.
He actually targeted Shanghai City and took control of the entire city with great fanfare. This is like shouting to the entire earth, "I have a big conspiracy, come and investigate me."
