Chapter 427: Locked Manhattan

New York's Times Square is arguably the most well-known location in the world, and every little thing that happens here can become news that is spread by people.

What's more, the appearance of the black cube, at least spread on the Internet, spreading to the edge of the network with extremely fierce momentum.

"The number of the cube has changedβ€”"

Through the online video, someone realized that the number on the black cube had obviously changed, from "10" at the beginning to "9", and at this moment, people with a little idea understood that it was a countdown.

This thought comes to the minds of many people, so what will happen if the number becomes zero?

Passers-by gathered in Times Square looked at the black cube curiously, and some people held their mobile phones while closing the distance and touching the black cube with their hands.

The black cube is four meters long and wide, floating above the ground as if it were not affected by gravity.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's true, it's not made by stereoscopic images. ”

"What kind of material is this! It doesn't feel like metal or anything, it's cold to the touch and has a smooth texture. ”

"There is no support underneath this thing, so what kind of technology does it rely on to float in the air...... Is it maglevit? ”

Curious passers-by stepped forward and touched the black cube with their hands.

Some good people began to bang on the black cube, but there was no sound.

Pushing with your hands, there is no movement, as if it is fixed in mid-air.

……

The singularity of the black cube naturally makes more people gather nearby.

"Great, this is a godsend."

Bauer excitedly took out the shooting tools, he himself is an unknown anchor on YouTube, for him, carrying a camera, DV, and a handheld weighing instrument are a daily habit.

He knew the importance of finding an interesting hot topic, so he left his girlfriend, who was shopping together, excitedly grabbed his camera equipment and squeezed through the crowd.

"Cool!"

In the center of the crowd, a black cube stood silently in mid-air, more than a meter above the ground.

The cube appears to be in an illusory state of floating, which is quite conspicuous compared to the surrounding street scene and crowds.

(This can also be very intuitively expressed when used in the shooting lens...... And such an interesting thing will surely be hunted down by people, and if I take a picture of it and post it on the Internet this time, I will definitely be able to make it popular...... οΌ‰

Bauer was full of joy and just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to become popular.

He didn't realize what kind of existence the black cube in front of him represented, but the moment Bauer raised his camera equipment, he noticed the change in the numbers on the black cube from the lens.

β€œ8!”

The numbers have changed again.

At the same time, more dive cyber wanderers sitting on the other side of the network, wearing VR full immersion devices, as well as ordinary people holding mobile phones and other terminals, have noticed the digital movement again through video.

And the camera returns to Times Square in New York, and the New York police officers patrolling the streets also noticed this, and they immediately acted and prepared to intervene, because the current situation is unclear, no one can determine the origin of this black cube, in case this is an explosive device, a bomb detonated on the streets of Times Square, how much trouble it will cause.

"Let one go, let one go."

Two police officers were closest to the scene of the incident, and the two of them arrived early, pulled through the crowd, and prepared to cordon off the area.

"We've been reported, it's not clear what this thing is, and no art group or religious organization has expressed an opinion on it?"

The radio came the command from the headquarters.

"Hopson, Brace, you clear the crowd and don't let boring people approach this place, especially journalists or anything...... Someone will come to meet you later. ”

The boss's voice came from the headset.

"Roger."

The old black officer gave the young policewoman a look, who waved at the crowd to get them away.

"Hey! What are you doing, don't push me ......"

Ball got into an argument with the policewoman.

"Sir, we were sent by the New York branch to carry out official duties, and we have received a report that we suspect that this is a dangerous item, please come closer after we have dealt with it."

"I know! But don't touch my stuff! ”

"Okay, yes, please leave quickly."

The policewoman turned to the old black officer and asked, "Holson, what does that say?" ”

"Clear the site and keep the area safe."

The old police officer tossed the cup of coffee in his hand into the trash, and he didn't get too close to the black cube, but frowned and looked at it.

"Boles, what do you think this looks like......"

"Like a nuisance."

The policewoman pressed her hat.

"It's just a trick made by a bunch of tech geeks, or a big piece of garbage created by a performance artist, and I think it's better to send it to the garbage bin."

"That's good, but at least let's find out what this thing is!"

While the two were talking, Bauer was still holding the camera equipment in the distance, and saw the changes in the numbers on the cube through the lens.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's really funny to see no, the number of this thing has changed from 8 to 7, it's a countdown, so what's going to happen next? ”

He muttered to himself, and suddenly, a big hand blocked his shot.

"Hey! Sir, I said it...... Luckily, it's not safe here. ”

The policewoman Brace noticed that the troublesome man was still filming, and her eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

She walked over and covered the camera with her hand and warned the man to leave the scene.

"That's it! Come on! I'll go now! ”

Bauer's face was bored, and he took a few steps backwards with his equipment, the camera still focused on the black cube.

In this short period of time, the number on the cube began to accelerate, jumping from "7" to "6", and constantly reversing backwards.

"It's quick, it's really a countdown."

Most of the onlookers, like Bauer, did not leave after seeing this "big news", but stayed where they were, continuing to observe the development of things.

Eventually, the number of the black cube became "0".

With a ding, a crisp mechanical sound sounded, and the cube began to change, and countless small cubes split from the large cubes, instantly building a larger hypercube structure in a magical way, and the entire cube floated in space, illusory and real, making everyone who noticed this scene amazed.

There was a loud noise, and the hypercube structure began to release a wave, and the entire space seemed to stand still, and everyone lost consciousness at this moment.

The entire island of Manhattan was completely obscured by a black barrier released by the super-three, a huge hemispherical shroud that swallowed everything in the area into the dark realm.

It was an unprecedented event that shocked people all over the world on this day.
