The main purpose of the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" designed by Tang Xiaosheng is to use this formation to create an absolutely closed "dilemma", in which both the five elements are used to block time and the gossip to block space.

With this absolutely closed "dilemma", it should be possible to trap the elusive "strange energy" in it.

After all, everything in the world cannot escape the category of time and space, and as long as time and space are completely blocked, then no matter what the "strange energy" is, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from this "predicament".

Since the "Strange Energy" appears for a very short time each time, less than 0.1 seconds, if you want to trap it with a formation, you need to activate the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" within 0.1 seconds.

On January 12th, after practicing the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array", in the next dozens of days, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Wang Yuyan, Zixia, Xiao Zhao, Dongfang Undefeated, Ren Yingying and other thirteen people would spend hours practicing the formation together every night to speed up the speed of starting the formation.

On January 19th, after 7 days of practice, the time it took them to activate the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" was greatly shortened, from the initial 5 seconds to 1 second.

On February 11, after 30 days of practice, the time it took them to activate the formation had been reduced to 0.3 seconds, just 0.2 seconds away from 0.1 seconds.

It's just that as the formation activation time continues to shorten, it becomes more difficult to move forward. 0.1 seconds is almost just a blink of an eye, and it is indeed very difficult to instantly activate a formation in such a short time.

Addressing this issue. Tang Xiaosheng has been pondering for several years, and when he was studying the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array", he had been trying to find a way to optimize the structure of the formation, so as to speed up the activation of the formation as much as possible and shorten the starting time of the formation to the limit.

After thousands of days and nights of exploration, Tang Xiaosheng finally found an effective solution.

After combining the theories on structure in Yin's Multiverse Theory, he improved the formation structure of the original Five Elements Bagua Array. The improved Five Elements Bagua Array, theoretically speaking, can activate the formation within 0.001 seconds. Nearly 100 times shorter than the time for "Strange Energy" to appear.

Of course. Theory is theory after all, and it takes a certain amount of practice to turn theory into reality.

Every night for the next three months. Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Qingxia, Zixia, Bai Xiaoxiao and others will all practice the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" on the rooftop of the Moonlight Building. Practicing formations was originally a bit boring. It's just that they are in love. It's a lot of fun.

As the number of exercises increased, the tacit understanding between the thirteen of them became higher and higher, and the formation activation speed became faster and faster.

After months of hard work. On May 18, 2100, they had shortened the time to activate the formation to 0.05 seconds, and almost without blinking their eyelids, the formation could take shape in an instant.

Now that the formation has been formed, it is only natural that the "strange energy" be arrested.

After some discussion, Tang Xiaosheng and others launched an operation on the evening of May 18, trying to use the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" to deal with the "strange energy".

The "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" can block time and space at the same time, theoretically, it can trap anything, and there should be no danger in using it to deal with "strange energy".

It's just that so far, Tang Xiaosheng and others don't know what the "strange energy" is. Just in case, he brought his private flying machine "Golden Pigeon No. 1" with him. In the event of any accident or danger, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu and other thirteen can take refuge in the internal space of the "Golden Pigeon No. 1".

After everything was ready, at eleven o'clock in the evening, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Bai Xiaoxiao, Bai Jingjing and other thirteen people left the Moonlight Building together on the "Golden Pigeon No. 1" and went to the First Hospital of Time and Space 10 kilometers away.

The First Hospital of Chrono is the largest hospital in the Chrono Science and Technology City, where hundreds of people die every day.

After death, when the soul floats out of the body, "strange energy" will appear and destroy the soul. And when the "Strange Energy" appeared, it was the only chance for Tang Xiaosheng and the other thirteen people to arrest it with the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array".

If you want to arrest the "strange energy", you need to go to a place where there are dead people.

So, after arriving at the First Hospital of Time and Space, Tang Xiaosheng and the others went straight to the No. 1 critical room of the hospital.

The critical care room is very spacious, about 200 square meters, and in one critical room, a total of 120 patients are about to reach the end of their lives.

Most of these patients were born around 1940 and are all around 160 years old, and if it weren't for the rapid development of medicine in the second half of the 21st century, these people would have died decades ago and would not have lived to this day.

The consciousness of these 120 dying patients was very blurred and in a dying state, and their physical activities were so weak that they almost stopped.

When he walked into the critical care room, Tang Xiaosheng knew that most of the 120 patients would not survive tonight. This is because the intelligent medical system in the critical care room detects the physical condition of these patients and analyzes the detected data. The results of the analysis showed that these patients did not survive for more than 12 hours.

In fact, it was precisely because these patients had no more than 12 hours to live that they were sent to the No. 1 Critical Care Room.

For patients who are about to become critically ill, there are usually relatives and friends by their side to accompany him through the last days of his life. The 120 dying patients were all lonely elderly people with few friends and relatives, so they had to be sent to the critical care unit of the hospital.

The whole critical room was silent, and the 120 dying patients lay quietly, barely conscious, and the breath of life was extremely weak, and for them, there was only one thing left to do now - wait for death.

Even today, with the high development of human science and technology, death is still an unconquered problem.

Of course. Tang Xiaosheng knew very well in his heart that after a person dies, in fact, human consciousness is still alive, and this consciousness is often referred to as the soul. It is only due to the existence of "strange energy" that all souls are ruthlessly destroyed, which leads to the existence of no souls on earth.

More than ten years ago, Tang Xiaosheng began to think about finding a refuge for these souls, so that they could escape the attack of "strange energy" and continue to survive. He also thought about setting up some Five Elements Bagua Array, because this formation could block the "strange energy".

It's just that at least hundreds of thousands of people die every day on the planet. If you want to let the Five Elements Bagua Array be laid out for so many people at the same time. Then the amount of work is so large that it is almost impossible to complete.

And if a large Five Elements Bagua Array is set up so that all the souls are gathered together, it may cause these souls to intertwine. Transformed into a chaotic soul consciousness body. The situation will be more complicated.

Other than that. When these souls are settled, the question of what to do with them is also a very difficult question.

What's more. The existence of "strange energy" is a natural phenomenon, and its destruction of the soul is also a normal natural phenomenon, whether this phenomenon should be changed, Tang Xiaosheng has no bottom in his heart. After all, he didn't know what the "strange energy" of the Dao Dao was, let alone what it meant after the soul of the Dao was destroyed.

It is precisely because this matter is relatively complicated and the issues involved are too complicated, regarding how to settle the soul after death, Tang Xiaosheng has not been able to think of a foolproof strategy, so he can only take one step at a time and think about it in the long run. Perhaps only when human beings uncover the true face of "strange energy" will it be possible for human beings to establish a perfect system for the placement of souls after death.

Therefore, most of the hundreds of thousands of people who die every day in the hospital will still be destroyed by the "strange energy", and the same is true for the First Hospital of Chronospace.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, after Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Ren Yingying, Bai Xiaoxiao and other thirteen people arrived at the hospital, they walked into the critical room together, and each of them walked very lightly.

Although they had already cultivated the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array", it was very likely that they would be able to capture the "Strange Energy" today, which was a great joy, but when they walked into the critical room, they did not show any joy.

Because they know that all 120 patients lying in the critical care room will die tonight.

When they walked to the middle of the critical room, everyone looked around, and at this time, Zhao Min asked, "Wuji, after someone dies for a while, will the 'strange energy' appear immediately?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "Yes." As soon as the soul is removed from the body, the 'Strange Energy' will immediately manifest and destroy the soul for 0.1 seconds, after which it will disappear immediately. Therefore, this 0.1 second is our only chance to apprehend 'Strange Energy'. ”

With his right hand raised, he pointed to the four walls of the critical care room, and he continued, "In this critical care room, the most advanced intelligent medical system is installed, which is able to transmit the news of the death of the patient to us in the shortest possible time. At the same time, there are also 2 soul monitors installed here, with these instruments, within 0.03 seconds after the 'strange energy' appears, we will be able to know the location of the 'strange energy' of the Dao. ”

Hearing this, everyone understood the situation. With these advanced medical systems and soul monitors, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu and the other thirteen people will be able to learn the information about the appearance of the "Strange Energy" in the shortest possible time, and at that time, they only need to immediately activate the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array", and they will have the opportunity to let the "Strange Energy" be captured.

It is estimated that none of the 120 patients in the critical care room will survive tonight, but it is unknown at what minute they will die, so Tang Xiaosheng and the others have to wait quietly and adapt to the situation.

After entering the critical room, the thirteen of them dispersed and stood in thirteen different positions, which were the thirteen positions of the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array".

Once you've taken your position, all that's left is to wait.

Time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, 45 minutes had passed, and the time had come to 0:14 in the morning, until this moment, none of the 120 patients in the critical care room had died.

Tang Xiaosheng and the others stood quietly in place, concentrating, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

In silence, 30 minutes passed.

The critical room was still quiet, so quiet that only the faint sound of the heart beating could be heard.

"Tick!"

When the time came to 1:44 a.m., at this time. Tang Xiaosheng, Zixia, Ren Yingying, Bai Xiaoxiao, Bai Jingjing, Wang Yuyan and other thirteen people received a message from the medical system at the same time!

The information shows that patient No. 101 in the critical care unit has just died!

After receiving the information, Tang Xiaosheng and the other thirteen people moved, held their breath, condensed slightly, and waited for battle. Because they all know that after the patient dies, as long as his soul floats away from the body, the "strange energy" will definitely appear immediately.

Since the "strange energy" is invisible, it is not visible to the naked eye at all. Only soul monitors are able to detect when and where "strange energy" appears. Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng and the others were waiting for the information from the soul monitor.

Sure enough, thirteen seconds later, the soul of the patient who had just died of illness left the body. Floating in mid-air. At the moment when the soul leaves the body. A "strange energy" immediately appeared.

At this critical moment, the soul monitor instantly sensed the existence of "strange energy" and transmitted this information to Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu and others within 0.05 seconds.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Tang Xiaosheng and others reacted very quickly. At the moment of receiving the information, the thirteen of them had already shot at the same time, and thirteen white lights shot out at the same time, shooting into the mid-air where the soul was floating, and the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" was activated in 0.05 seconds.

At the moment when the "strange energy" appeared, a strange pattern suddenly lit up in the air, this pattern was the "Five Elements Bagua Diagram", as soon as the pattern appeared, it flashed sharply and changed in a thousand ways.

At the same time, Zhao Min, Ren Yingying, Xiaolongnu, Tang Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaoxiao and other five people sacrificed five white lights at the same time, guarding the five formations of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, forming a closed formation in mid-air, directly covering the "strange energy" that was ready to destroy the soul, and blocking the time rift.

And Zixia, Bai Jingjing, Gan Nineteen Sisters, Dongfang Undefeated, Guo Xiang, Xiao Zhao, Qingxia, Wang Yuyan and other eight people sacrificed eight white lights at the same time, guarding the eight formations of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, forming a closed formation in mid-air, and also directly covering the "strange energy" and blocking the spatial crack.

Thirteen rays of light converged in the air, intertwined with each other, rapidly circulating, intertwined, threading needles and threads, forming a huge ball of light.

In the blink of an eye, a ball of light composed of thirteen white lights appeared in mid-air!

This ball of light, with a diameter of about one meter, is exactly the absolutely closed "dilemma" created by the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array"!

In this predicament, both the "Five Elements" and the "Bagua" are used to block time, and time and space are completely closed, and there is no possibility of escape at all.

Airplanes!!!

At the moment when the "predicament" ball of light was formed, suddenly, the entire ball of light shook violently in mid-air, and in the ball of light, something seemed to be struggling violently, trying to break free from the ball of light!

After seeing the "predicament" ball of light shaking violently, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Zixia, Gan Nineteen Sisters, Ren Yingying, Xiao Zhao, Guo Xiang and other thirteen people showed joy on their faces at the same time.

Because they succeeded!

This ball of light created by the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" has successfully trapped the "Strange Energy" in the internal space of the ball of light. The reason why the ball of light shakes violently is precisely because the "strange energy" tries to escape from the ball of light, and there is a violent collision.

The "Strange Energy" is really not trivial, the space within the ball of light has been completely blocked in time and space, and once ordinary mortals are covered by it, they will definitely be able to be caught with their hands tied.

After being covered by the ball of light, the "strange energy" did not compromise on this, it kept hitting the wall inside the ball of light, shaking the entire ball of light violently, as if it wanted to break through the ball of light.

However, all these actions of the "Strange Energy" are destined to be in vain, and it is impossible for it to successfully escape from the ball of light.

"Big brother, has the 'strange energy' been caught by us?" Guo Xiang, who was guarding the "Xun" position in the gossip, asked curiously.

"Yes, the 'Strange Energy' has been trapped within this ball of light." Tang Xiaosheng said to everyone, "Now we lock all the thirteen formations at the same time. ”

"Hmm." Xiaolongnu and the others nodded in unison.

This ball of light is a "dilemma" created by the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array", and the Five Elements Formation and the Bagua Array have blocked the time and space of this dilemma. Now, as long as the Five Elements Formation and the Bagua Formation are blocked, then this "dilemma" will be completely blocked.

Blocking the thirteen positions of the ball of light is like adding thirteen locks to the ball of light.

Whoosh!

Then. Thirteen rays of light came out at the same time, and thirteen people, including Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Zixia, Bai Xiaoxiao, and the photographer, took action one after another, locking their guard positions.

Not long after, after all the thirteen positions of the Five Elements Bagua were blocked, everyone stopped at the same time.

At this point, the entire blockade is complete.

The ball of light that was originally suspended in mid-air also fell to the ground, lying quietly, motionless, Tang Xiaosheng, Gan Nineteen Sisters, Zixia and others surrounded together, looking at the ball of light curiously.

Although they all knew that the "strange energy" was now trapped in the ball of light. But since the light sphere is absolutely airtight. None of them could see what the "strange energy" inside the ball of light looked like.

However, in any case, after tossing for so long, he finally succeeded in capturing the "Strange Energy".

"Huh? Why did this ball of light suddenly stop moving? "At this time. Guo Xiang bent his eyebrows. Asked curiously. "Didn't the ball of light keep shaking just now? How did it become so quiet now? ”

Xiao Zhao guessed: "It may be that the 'Strange Energy' knows that he has no hope of breaking free, and it is impossible to escape no matter how much he tosses, so he has become honest." Be prepared to plead guilty. ”

Guo Xiang asked: "So, the 'strange energy' is conscious?" ”

"It's not impossible. The strange energy' is haunted every time, and the form is ever-changing, if it is not a divine object with consciousness, I am afraid it will not have such a high ability. Zixia analyzed, turned her head, and asked Tang Xiaosheng, "Supreme Treasure, what should I do next?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "Now that you have captured the 'Strange Energy', let's bring it back to the Moonlight Mansion first and find a way to study it well......"

"Tick!"

Speaking of which, at this time, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu and others received another message from the hospital's medical system.

The information shows that patient 024 in the critical care room has just passed away.

"Another patient has died, will the 'strange energy' reappear?" Guo Xiang asked curiously.

Hearing what she said, everyone looked at each other, although they had already caught a "strange energy", but the "strange energy" was almost all over the earth, and there should be more than one "same party".

Now that someone has died, it is likely that a second "strange energy" will appear.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Xiao Zhao, Dongfang Undefeated and other thirteen people flashed, and they fell into thirteen positions respectively, preparing to arrest the second "strange energy".

Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, when Patient 024's soul detached from his body, another "strange energy" appeared!

Whoosh!

Without thinking too much, Tang Xiaosheng and the other thirteen people made a decisive move, activated the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" again, and as before, created a "dilemma" ball of light, trapping the second "strange energy" in it.

And just like that, the second "strange energy" was also caught.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiaosheng and the others blocked the thirteen positions of the light ball, completely sealing the light ball.

When the second "strange energy" was captured, the medical system of the hospital suddenly sent another message that patient 014 in the critical care room had just passed away.

As a result, Tang Xiaosheng and the others had no choice but to activate the formation for the third time and arrest the "strange energy". After a few tens of seconds, they used the same technique to catch the "strange energy" for the third time.

In the next two hours, four more patients died in the critical room, and Tang Xiaosheng and others activated the "Great Five Elements Bagua Array" four times in a row.

As a result, there are a total of seven balls of light in the critical room, each of which is trapped with a "strange energy".

After doing this, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.

Looking at the seven balls of light placed on the ground of the critical room, Guo Xiang concluded: "It seems that there is not just one 'strange energy', but many, and it may never be able to catch it." ”

"Xiang'er is right, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there are still many 'strange energies', and we can't finish catching them. Since you can't catch it all, let's not catch it first. Tang Xiaosheng said, "I'm busy here today, let's take these seven 'strange energies' back to study first, and see if we can find anything." ”

Xiaolongnu, Zixia, Dongfang Undefeated, Zhao Min and others nodded their heads in agreement.

After that, they sat on the "Golden Pigeon Pigeon No. 1" and brought the seven light balls containing "Strange Energy" back to the Moonlight Building.

With the arrest of "Strange Energy", related research has officially begun. (To be continued......)
