On the grey-black background, all the lines suddenly disappeared and this was followed by countless dense, white dots, translucent, faint white dots hidden in the background. Human language couldn’t be used to describe what type of shape they had and there seemed to be no regularity. They gathered in some places and spread out in some places. There were no white spots scattered in the centre of the figure but circled it like a crater. The grey and black irregular circle looked like an ominous and sinister eye. It was like—it was like humans in the age of civilization had taken a photo of an immensely magnificent nebula and then turned it into lifeless black and white.

“Yes, it is this one,” Rum stated. “Is the machine broken?”

“No…” Polly slowly shook his head. Perhaps his mood was too excessively tight but his pupils were slightly dilated. “This is the unprocessed original picture. The previous lines were removed from the original picture.”

An Zhe slowly thought about the meaning of this sentence while Rum tried to give Polly a preventative shot. He thought for a moment before repeating, “That… or the machine is broken.”

“No.” Polly shook his head and marked a dazzling red star at the time node where this image frame had appeared. He spoke much faster than usual and it was difficult for him to hide his excitement.  “If the particle frequency changes suddenly, the analyzer can’t get a result in a short time. It will show the original picture for a short time, proving we are right. Call Tang Lan over here.”’

Some time later, Tang Lan pushed open the laboratory door, he was a dull black-blue colour. He was obviously a bit weak. “Sir, is there something you needed from me?”

Polly asked, “Were you asleep? I’m sorry to wake you up.”

Tang Lan shook his head. “I woke up when Rum called.”

“You didn’t sleep well?”

“I just wanted to come to you.” Tang Lan stated. “The fluctuation suddenly amplified and for a second, I felt a very sharp noise. Then I woke up.’

“How about now?”

“It’s okay now.”

Polly didn’t speak for a long time until Tang Lan questioned, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

“Our approach is correct. Once the fluctuation was amplified, it showed this anomaly in real time. This type of wave can be captured by the Simpson Cage in a method similar to the magnetic field.” Polly looked solemn.

Tang Lan raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t this good news?”

“No, I’m thinking of a question.”
