Chapter 45 Second Resonance
"Then I think that Researcher Song Yarong's suggestion just now is actually quite valuable." Sun Hang said slowly.

"What suggestions?" Mente was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding the meaning of Sun Hang's words.

A large bunch of white mycelium suddenly appeared and condensed into the shape of a fist, which smashed through the safety glass of the temporary containment room. For a moment, the alarm in the containment room sounded.

"Could you please turn off the alarm? It's a bit noisy." Sun Hang said to Song Yarong.

"...Okay." Although Song Yarong also didn't understand Sun Hang's intention, she still turned off the alarm of the temporary shelter room.

The next second, the alien long sword suspended in the containment room melted into liquid out of thin air and "flowed" out from the gap blasted open by the mycelium. Under the dumbfounded gaze of Ment, the liquid metal quickly covered Sun Hang's skin and then seeped into his pores.

Then, Sun Hang's feet left the ground and slowly floated up, just like an astronaut training in a weightlessness simulator.

"This... is this possible?" Mente muttered with a look of astonishment on his face.

"It's okay, but it's a little uncomfortable." Sun Hang put his feet on the ground, pulled the liquid metal out of his body, and condensed it into the shape of an alien long sword again.

"J-2796 can actually maintain its liquid state at room temperature? This is amazing! According to the test results, the atomic structure of the metal itself has not changed, but its properties... No, that's not right. I shouldn't look at strange things with the eyes of looking at ordinary things..." The blue laser shot out from Song Yarong's eyes and continuously swept across the alien long sword, "You...how did you do it?!"

"I am not sure as well……"

Before Sun Hang could finish his words, he suddenly felt an electric current passing through his head. He walked to the door almost without hesitation and pushed open the door that was standing there.

"Sorry, something urgent happened. I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Sun Hang rushed into the elevator in two steps at a time and pressed the button leading to the top floor of the institute.

He didn't know what he was doing, but he vaguely felt that something appeared on the roof and he had to go and check it out.

The elevator of the research institute was very fast. In just over ten seconds, it had already sent Sun Hang to the 35th floor. Sun Hang quickly walked out of the elevator and found the door leading to the rooftop.

He pushed open the door, and was greeted by thick fog that seemed to be real. Looking around, the entire Tianfu City was shrouded in a white "sea of ​​clouds", and the forest made of reinforced concrete seemed to be covered with a lead-gray filter.

An indescribable feeling of oppression spread out, the suffocating clouds were so low that they seemed within reach, and the dull and stagnant air was like a huge piece of amber, enveloping the entire city.

Sun Hang could not feel the wind. He was standing on the rooftop of the 35th floor, but he could not feel the flow of gas at all...Everywhere he looked was like a frozen black-and-white silent film, full of weirdness and irrationality.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have dreamed of such a scene, which was almost exactly the same as what he saw before him.

Dark clouds, city, rooftop, no wind.

He was sure that these were his own memories, not those chaotic and mixed fragments of memories.

Sun Hang propped his hands on the railing at the edge of the rooftop and breathed deeply… He didn’t know if it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that the oxygen content in the air seemed to have become extremely thin, not enough to maintain his vital signs… But when he glanced at the screen of the bracelet, he found that the data displayed on the bracelet, whether it was heart rate, pulse or blood oxygen saturation, were all at completely normal levels. In other words, all the discomfort he felt... was actually all psychological.

"What happened?" Sun Hang supported the weight of his entire upper body with his arms and buried his head deep in his chest. He tried to recall again, but the familiar severe pain made his whole body tremble.

The sound of an electric wheelchair rolling over the floor came from behind him. Sun Hang turned around and found that the old man in the wheelchair whom Yang Qi called "teacher" had also come to the rooftop at some point.

Sun Hang knew that this guy was the director of the research institute and the most authoritative person in the study of strange things in the entire Tianfu City.

"Sure enough, you resonate with that thing again." The director looked at Sun Hang and said calmly.

"Resonance?" Sun Hang was startled and looked up, only to find that the sky was cloudless. A comfortable cool breeze swept across the rooftop, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of bougainvillea and jacaranda trees that were in bloom.

Everything that happened just now...was it some kind of illusion, or just a psychological effect?
"Just now, we received news that the blood moon has disappeared," said the director.

"The blood moon disappeared?"

"Not only the blood moon disappeared, but also the entire anomalous area... and all the people who were performing search and rescue missions in the anomalous area."

"What do you mean?"

"Everything has returned to normal. The displaced space has returned to its original location. The South City Cemetery has reappeared in its original location, as have the missing people." The director continued, "Of the 213 people who were previously missing, except for 27 who left the cemetery area and failed to return in time, the rest have been found."

"But those who went to look for them disappeared along with the abnormal area... Yang Qi was also in it, right?" Sun Hang took out his mobile phone. Sure enough, Yang Qi, who was still communicating with him not long ago, now had a gray avatar, which symbolizes "offline".

"Yes, including Yang Qi, the number of missing search and rescue personnel totals 1,755." The director nodded.

"The abnormal area should appear again, right? As long as they don't leave that area, they still have a chance to return to this time and space... Am I right in understanding it?" Sun Hang asked.

"Not sure." The director shook his head. "When studying strange things, you can summarize some 'rules', but don't rely too much on 'weird things'... They may come back, or they may never appear again. At present, it is preliminarily determined that the cause of the time and space anomaly is an unknown 'phenomenon-type' strange thing."

The director coughed twice and continued, "There are more than a thousand kinds of phenomena that have been discovered. Some of them can last for decades or even hundreds of years, while others are fleeting and have completely disappeared from this world before they are even observed by humans. We can only infer the fact that they existed through the traces they left behind... I can't be sure whether the strange thing that caused the time and space anomaly this time will appear again, nor can I be sure whether those missing people can come back."

"Then what about the 'resonance' between me and that thing?"

"You can resonate with 'it', which means that you and 'it' have similar meme frequencies. Compared with ordinary people, you will be more likely to perceive 'it's' existence." The director said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Yang Qi is missing, and your direct supervisor has become vacant. Originally, Song Yarong, a second-level researcher in the institute, wanted to apply for this position, but after comprehensive consideration, I rejected her application."

"Then who are you going to let replace Yang Qi?"

"Yang Lian, the executive officer of the Tianfu City Abnormal Investigation Bureau." The director turned around in his electric wheelchair. "She will be seconded to the institute to take over her sister's job."
