Who the white horse is and what the origin of that ring is, the Shiyan Institute doesn't know anything now. Now the real ring is placed on the negative layer of the Shiken Institute, which is very safe. Even if someone enters the Institute, they can't go to the negative layer where identification is required, and the time ability can't be used on the negative layer, not remotely. I don't know if it's because there's an inherent entrance to the realm of time.

For the sake of double insurance, Xu Xincha still raised the alert status of the Shiyan Institute to the first level. There is no longer a need for someone to be on duty at the gate, because the function of identification is turned on, and once a non-member of the Institute enters, all doors will be closed immediately, and all members of the Institute will be notified.

They discussed for a while at the meeting, and based on the principle that one person can only have one type of time ability, they roughly guessed that the number of this time thief gang was four, and one of them, Jiang Yuan, had been caught, and his time ability was not only not aggressive, but even healing. And the remaining three, one tentatively set to be remote, one for time dust, and the last one about the ring, they are not clear for the time being.

The other party was almost completely in an absolute advantage, and the only time thief Jiang Yuan who was caught didn't know what Bai Ju looked like, nor did he know the purpose of the gang he belonged to.

"I can feel the energy fluctuations of the faint temporal ability on that ring, but I don't know where it comes from." Wan Qizhe, who has the most right to speak, also rubbed around with a fake ring, wishing that he could immediately analyze the structure of the ring and copy the exact ring, "Jiang Yuan usually wears this ring to work, and he sometimes uses his time healing ability on patients, I don't know if this weak energy fluctuation comes from Jiang Yuan...... Or someone else. ”

"In short, this is the first time that time thieves have committed crimes in a group, and we must be vigilant at all times, especially the protection of our timeline." Xu Xincha turned off the PPT and reached out to close his computer, "Although the number of people on the other side is at a disadvantage compared to us, the chips they hold in their hands make us always at a disadvantage." ”

The bargaining chips of this group of time thieves are very simple, they are such an ordinary and ordinary group of humans in the world, who have no time ability and have never seen the timeline.

"I can feel that they are not simple people." Song Ming, who had been silent, suddenly said a second before the meeting, "I also spent some time in the criminal investigation brigade of the city bureau before, and now I have a lot of dealings with them. It can be said that this gang of time thieves has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. ”

Song Ming stretched out his hand and gestured: "They are like a pyramid structure." Jiang Yuan, who is currently arrested, is at the bottom of this pyramid. The Guards have said that in many cases of this kind of gang, the people at the bottom often don't know the identity and appearance of the people at the top. ”

"But I don't have any idea what my gang is trying to do. This group of time thieves was different, they completely blocked Jiang Yuan's memory. Song Ming moved his feet slightly, wanting to change his posture, but at a glance, he saw that the mobile phone that Xu Xincha put in his pocket seemed to light up, "Xu Suo, is your mobile phone ringing?" ”

"Oh, I muted it." Xu Xincha took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and pressed it directly without looking at it, but he still glanced at the remarks, and hurriedly answered it in fright, "Leader, you are looking for me, yes, I am here." ”

I didn't know what to say to Xu Xincha on the phone, but I usually put away the image of a courtesan who was always a courtesan to the outside world, and his voice was a little serious, which made the other three people not only a little panicked, but also afraid that Xu Xincha would turn his head and tell them that something was wrong after hanging up the phone.

"I understand that I must seriously admit my mistakes, and I will definitely not be ridiculous. Okay, sorry for you. ”

Oh, got it. The three of them glanced at each other very tacitly, and they all saw a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes-it turned out that the leader was going to go to the review meeting, and the review he had written in a hurry was really timely. Then I thought about it, they couldn't escape like these low-level employees.

Sure enough, in the next second, the bastard leader who knew what his subordinates were thinking at a glance spoke: "Tomorrow's review, no one is allowed to fall, except for the general, what to see, a new student doesn't understand anything, what to review!" ”

At this moment, the three of them let out this boo full of disgust in their hearts. Fu Chuanchuan couldn't wait to take a loudspeaker and yell at the street - come and see our leaders, how to protect the short!

After the boos, the three of them had no resentment or unwillingness, and went to work separately.

Xu Xincha was a little helpless when she thought of tonight's review meeting. It's not that he has never done a review, he used to run a lot of large and small meetings with the director when he was still in office, and he learned all the kind words on the scene, and a small review is not a problem. It's just that this time the situation is special, Xu Xincha sighed in his heart, it is a matter of human life, this may be the first time in the history of the Shiyan Institute to deal with such a thing.

He was also "honored" to be the first director to do a review because of this.

Xu Xincha didn't have anything to do today, and devoted himself to preparing for tonight's meeting. He first went to the air research institute next door. I was notified of a meeting to do a review, and the Space Research Institute next door naturally couldn't escape, Xu Xincha had to go to see his "comrades-in-arms".

I don't know if there have been more things recently, Xu Xincha felt empty when he went in, he slipped into the office of Qiao Ge, the director of the Air Research Institute, and found that the door was not closed, so he knocked on the door and went in.

Georg sat in front of the computer, the indiscriminate communication system was still open, and he talked to someone from time to time. Qiao Ge noticed that someone was pushing the door, and when he raised his eyes, it was Xu Xincha. He turned off the system and stood up: "Xu Suo, is something wrong?" ”

Xu Xincha glanced at it, and vaguely saw the content on his computer from the glass bookcase behind Qiao Ge, which was colorful and not a review book at first glance. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a polite and gentle smile appeared: "Is Director Qiao going to a meeting tonight?" ”

Even though the two of them don't meet often because of their own work, and the communication is purely based on the indiscriminate communication system or the people under him, Georg still intuitively feels that Xu Xincha's smile is very wrong. He wanted to blurt out a "no", but when he saw the smile, he swallowed the two words back and searched for them in his overloaded brain.

It looks like there's a meeting.

He suddenly remembered, and a cold sweat came out: "There is a review meeting tonight!" ”

Xu Xincha was amused by his reaction, and instead of saying anything to comfort him, he showed that he was ready: "Director Qiao looks very busy, but don't be too busy, let's be brothers and sisters tonight, don't be late." ”

Georg didn't have much temper with the young director in front of him—he wasn't a jumper, and he didn't react much when he heard this, but said, "I've been a little busier lately." The energy fluctuations and instability in the time realm have skyrocketed, and our increased maintenance is only slowing down. This is the first time this has happened. ”

Xu Xincha asked, "If this unstable state of the time realm continues, will the space be destroyed?" ”

"Not really." Georg sat back down in front of his computer, cut the open interface in half, and then opened Word to prepare for the draft review, "The realm of time is the source of all time, and it is eternal in itself. It's just that this state of affairs will inevitably consume the vast human timeline torrents that reside in the realm of time—such as devouring them all. ”

"Then I want to ask," Xu Xincha said as he pondered the wording, "If I take things from the air, can I find out where I am based on the trajectory of energy fluctuations?" ”

"Yes." Georg quickly replied, "Theoretically, yes." First of all, energy fluctuations do not disappear in a flash, but slowly dissipate. Find its trajectory before it dissipates, and go back up, you can locate the spatial coordinate position. But Xu Suo, the other party is not a fool! ”

Xu Xincha immediately understood why he added "theoretically can". Because he had just made the Teleporter a target, and it had to be forced to accept everything that rushed towards it. But this person is not a dead target, but a moving, alive target. Even if they were able to locate the location of the power, it would only indicate that the suspect had been there.

Seeing that Qiao Ge began to use two things, and gradually cut himself into two and entered the working state, Xu Xincha also knew that he was leaving. He turned to the door, and was about to unscrew the handle to leave, when he heard Georg call him. Xu Xincha turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

"When the time realm will enter, I will inform you in time." Georg nodded at him, and then said as he typed, "I heard that the Institute of Time Studies has a lot of cases recently, and sometimes it is necessary to enter the time field. ”

"Thank you."

In the evening, Xu Xincha and Qiao Ge, the two important figures in the meeting, finally maintained a smiling face, broke through many obstacles, and completed their own review. After the meeting, Xu Xincha sat in his position and stretched his waist, stretching his muscles, as if he had completed all the work, he just wanted to stand up and walk out of the conference hall, and his shoulders sank. A voice came from above him: "Sit." ”

As soon as this voice came out, Xu Xincha immediately didn't dare to move.

The man behind him turned out, he was wearing a pair of glasses with a slightly deep filigree, his face was marked by the years, and his sharp jaw was tightly closed, looking a little unkind. On this face, Xu Xincha can find Lu Jijiang's shadow between his eyebrows and eyes.

This is exactly what the previous director of the Institute of Time was.

Xu Xincha suddenly thought out of bounds: "They are in the Lu family, one is my boss and the other is my assistant." This fate relationship is a bit embarrassing. ”

Director Lu came all the way with Xu Xincha, and he knew this man's thoughts very well. It's just that he wasn't in the mood to joke with him at this moment, and directly threw a bunch of things in front of Xu Xincha.

Xu Xincha reflexively caught it, and when he unfolded it, it was the evening newspaper of City B.

In this latest evening newspaper, the first page is prominently printed in bold black letters with a headline: "Time Institute - the secret investigation of serial cases?" ”

"This ......" Xu Xincha read the article at a glance and ten lines, although some places are really outrageous, but the whole article is skeptical and derogatory to the study of time, and even more they also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the time ability they have, which is turned into an ability by them, "Lu Suo, I'll deal with it." ”

"Don't worry about it, I'm waiting for you to come, the whole world regards the Shiyan Institute as a cult center." Director Lu waved his hand, "I would have suppressed it a long time ago." It won't be this in the evening tomorrow. ”

"It's still your old way." Xu Xincha glanced at his mobile phone that lit up, and found that it was Fu Chuanchuan, so he pressed, "Shiyan Institute...... It can't appear in the public eye for the time being. ”

"It's good that you know it in your own heart." Director Lu said slowly, "Whether it is the case you have encountered or this evening newspaper, it shows one thing. If the existence of the time realm and timeline is leaked, it will inevitably be unscrupulous. The trading of buying and selling time will be more prosperous, which will lead to the instability of time from the source, and the consequences are not only unknown to me, but you should also be aware of them. ”

"I understand." As soon as Xu Xincha spoke, he saw his mobile phone light up again, and it was still Fu Chuanchuan. This girl usually doesn't call herself when she knows she has a meeting, I don't know what's going on, but now Xu Xincha is not easy to answer the phone, "I'll pay attention." ”

Director Lu also had any desire to educate people, so he changed the topic to a gentle topic: "I heard that I will be an assistant by your side?" ”

"...... is so good that he doesn't die, and he directly hit Xu Xincha's embarrassing mouth, this person not only regards the boss's son as an assistant, but also thinks about the boss's son, "And he has good ability, and he is excellent in all aspects." As he spoke, he pressed Fu Chuanchuan's phone for the third time, and then, the phone lit up again.

Director Lu couldn't stand it anymore: "You take it." ”

Xu Xincha stopped at the hang-up hand and shifted his position, and clicked on. A very noisy voice came from the phone, and then, a man's muddy voice that was not Fu Chuanchuan's voice at all came out: "If you want her to live, prepare three million." ”
