**Title:**

**Research Report: Energy Resonance Anomaly in Qinshu's Western District**

**Compiled by:** Qinshu Energy Research Team 

**Date:** [Current Date] 

**Status:** Classified 

---

### **Introduction**

The phenomenon known as the **Energy Resonance Anomaly** occurring in Qinshu's Western District has been the subject of intensive study over the past few months. Preliminary data suggests that this energy is not merely a fluctuation within the city's power grid but an unidentified form of resonance wave outside the conventional energy spectrum.

### **Energy Characteristics**

1. **Unstable Resonance Frequency**

 - The energy oscillates within the range of **0.3 - 2.8 THz**, inconsistent with any known natural or artificial energy patterns.

 - Fluctuations peak during specific hours, particularly between **11:00 PM - 3:00 AM**.

2. **Propagation Patterns**

 - Identified in key locations within the Western District, primarily around **old industrial zones and underground archaeological ruins**.

 - The energy tends to concentrate in areas with **highly conductive materials**, such as rusted iron and carbon-structured buildings.

3. **Environmental Effects**

 - Disruptions in electronic devices, including **communication distortions and navigation system malfunctions**.

 - Mild to moderate psychological effects on individuals exposed for prolonged periods, including **sleep disturbances, disorientation, and heightened neural activity** of unknown origin.

 - Vegetation within affected zones exhibits **microstructural mutations**, accelerating the growth of specific species in unusual patterns.

### **Hypotheses on Energy Source**

1. **Underground Geomagnetic Activity**

 - The possibility of **rare minerals or crystals** beneath the surface interacting with the city's electromagnetic waves.

2. **Residual Ancient Technology or Abandoned Experiments**

 - The Western District was historically a research site, leaving room for the existence of **dormant energy resonance experiments** still in effect.

3. **Artificial Anomaly**

 - Certain indicators suggest that this energy could be **deliberately generated or manipulated** by an unknown party using experimental devices or concealed resonance technology.

### **Measurement Data**

| Parameter | Average Value | Fluctuation Range |

|----------------------|--------------|------------------|

| Resonance Frequency | 1.4 THz | 0.3 - 2.8 THz |

| Energy Intensity | 185 mW/m² | 75 - 300 mW/m² |

| Thermal Radiation | 29.8°C | 25 - 34°C |

| Electronic Disruption | 14% of devices affected | - |

### **Preliminary Conclusion**

The **Energy Resonance Anomaly** demands further investigation. At present, its effects on the environment and human health **are not deemed critically dangerous**, but should its intensity escalate, **it could pose a severe threat to Qinshu's infrastructure**. Ongoing research is necessary to identify the precise source and potential mitigation strategies.

**Recommendations:**

- Deploy additional monitoring devices at high-intensity locations.

- Conduct on-site studies with protective equipment.

- Avoid direct physical contact with the energy source until further analysis is completed.

- Provide regular reports to update the anomaly's status.

**Additional Notes:** If any individuals or groups possess relevant information regarding this phenomenon, they are urged to contact the authorities immediately.

Rover glanced at the time on his wrist communicator before placing a call.

A holographic projection of Jiayi appeared above his device.

Rover: "I've arrived at the Western District. The atmosphere… feels different."

Jiayi: "Good. You've read the document I sent, right?"

Rover: "…I tried."

Jiayi: "Let me guess. You don't understand it?"

Rover: "More like, I don't know why you expected me to. Since when did I study at the academy?"

Jiayi:"It's a scientific report, not a crossword puzzle. You should be able to—"

Rover:"Why not just write: 'Something's wrong here, check it out'?"

Jiayi sighed before tapping something on her screen. Moments later, a small device appeared in the hologram.

Jiayi: "Alright, I have a solution. This is Eyes Sight. Use it to track the black energy in the area. Easier than reading the report, right?"

Rover: "Now you're speaking my language."

He activated the Eyes Sight, watching as streams of dark energy twisted through the air. The device projected a path that grew denser the further he walked into the district. The sound of his footsteps merged with the city's background noise—the hum of passing vehicles, flickering streetlights, and the muffled voices of people conversing in the shadowed alleyways.

This district was one of Qinshu's oldest—where modern technology clashed with remnants of the past. Dilapidated buildings with rusted walls stood between neon-lit structures. Abandoned factories had been repurposed into workshops, warehouses, or makeshift homes for those unable to keep up with the city's rapid evolution.

The streets narrowed. Rover passed through an alleyway lined with faded posters and graffiti. The air smelled of metal and damp stone. His Eyes Sight signaled an increase in energy concentration.

Rover:"Further in… I knew it."

At the end of the road, a deserted industrial complex loomed ahead.

### [Old Ironworks Facility]

The structure was entirely metal. Rust coated its walls, and massive support beams stood firm despite their aged appearance. The main gate had long since broken, left ajar with a shattered chain dangling loosely. Rover pushed it open, the creak of metal reverberating through the night.

Inside, the temperature felt noticeably colder. The metal floor beneath him vibrated faintly, as if something pulsed deep below. And at the heart of the vast chamber, he found it.

A towering pillar-like structure stood in the center—an ancient machine still operational. Dark energy spiraled around it, pulsating like a beating heart. Every few seconds, arcs of black-violet electricity crackled across its surface. Whatever this was… it was still active.

Rover:"There it is… the source."

He examined it closely. Faded symbols adorned its surface, some worn away by time. The surrounding energy was so dense that his Eyes Sight struggled to process the data.

Tapping his wrist device, Rover initiated a transmission.

Rover:"Jiayi, I've located the anomaly source. Uploading data now."

The signal flickered, but he managed to send the recorded visuals. There was no doubt—this was no natural occurrence. Someone—or something—had reactivated it. The real question was… who?

A sudden, earth-shaking crash echoed through the chamber. Metal groaned, dust filled the air, and an eerie hum surged through the room.

GRRRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!

From the shadows, a colossal beast emerged. A monstrous wolf-like entity, its size dwarfing any natural counterpart. Its body bore deep, charred scars as if burned by an unnatural force. Atop its head, a pulsating black crystal shimmered with ominous violet light.

ZZZT… KRZZZT…

Rover's communicator crackled.

Jiayi:"Rov—!... Ener—… wa—… get out, now—"

THUD!

The beast slammed its claws into the ground, shattering the metal floor. Its glowing red eyes locked onto Rover with pure hatred.

ZZZZT…

Jiayi: "Rover! That thing's not normal! The crystal on its head! Be car—"

SSHHHRRRKKKK!

The signal cut off entirely.

Rover exhaled. "Of course. Always like this."

The beast lunged.

WHAM!

Rover dodged, drawing his blade.

SFX: SCHING!

He met the monster's gaze, unflinching.

Rover: "Alright… Let's get this over with."

Rover twisted to the side, narrowly dodging the massive claw that crashed into the ground with terrifying force. Dust and shattered metal fragments scattered, ringing sharply against the air. The colossal wolf-like beast let out a guttural snarl, its crimson eyes glowing ominously. The black crystal embedded in its forehead pulsed with an eerie, unstable energy.

"Hold on—I'm analyzing it!" Jiayi's voice crackled through the communicator, interference distorting her transmission due to the strange energy saturating the battlefield.

"Make it quick," Rover muttered, his gaze locked onto the creature.

Despite its sheer bulk, the monster lunged with shocking speed. Rover raised his sword just in time, intercepting the claw strike that would have easily crushed solid concrete. Sparks of energy burst from the collision, sending him skidding backward several meters. He steadied himself, exhaling sharply.

The wolf gave him no respite. It charged again, the crystal on its forehead flickering erratically. Rover pivoted, activating his wind glider for a brief moment, barely evading the beast's relentless assault that tore through the pavement behind him.

"There's something off about the crystal's resonance," Jiayi's voice returned, clearer this time. "This isn't just a natural mutation. It's almost as if... someone is controlling—"

"Tell me later," Rover cut her off as he landed, his grip tightening on his sword. "I've got bigger problems right now."

The monster let out a bone-rattling snarl, its body tensing before black energy exploded from the crystal, surging through its entire form. The beast shuddered violently—its frame bulging, claws elongating, its already fearsome presence amplifying into something even more monstrous.

"Of course," Rover clicked his tongue. "You just had to get more annoying."

He took a measured step back, assessing the situation. The black energy now coating the creature's body pulsed erratically, like an overclocked engine on the verge of collapse. The crystal atop its head shone with blinding intensity, faint cracks beginning to spiderweb across its surface.

"Jiayi, if you have anything useful, now would be the time," he said, his stance unwavering.

"I'm almost done! That crystal—it's a catalyst, but its structure doesn't align with natural resonance. If you can counterbalance it with opposing energy, it might destabilize!" Jiayi's voice brimmed with urgency.

"Translate that into something I can actually use."

"Hit the crystal with an inverse energy frequency! I'm uploading the sync data to your device now!"

Rover glanced at his wrist. A small holographic display flickered to life, waves of fluctuating resonance patterns appearing. There was no time to analyze further—the beast was already lunging again.

It struck with a blinding slash. Rover dodged, but the sheer force of the attack sent out a shockwave, slamming into him from behind. He barely caught himself, twisting midair before slashing his sword at the beast's leg. His blade cut deep, but the wound immediately darkened and sealed itself shut.

"Regeneration? Of course you have that too," he muttered.

The wolf growled before its maw widened, black energy condensing into a pulsating orb within its throat. Rover's eyes narrowed.

"Jiayi?"

"Ah—that's bad! You need to...—"

A blast of energy erupted. Rover shot into the air, deploying his wind glider just in time to evade the devastation below. The ground ruptured, an explosion carving a massive crater into the streets, dust and debris filling the air.

As he landed, the beast was already moving, faster than before.

"Rover, I've locked in the correct synchronization!" Jiayi's voice was sharp, urgent. "Use your sword—channel this frequency through your strikes! It'll disrupt the crystal's stability!"

Rover glanced at his blade, then back at his wrist display. The resonance wave had finally aligned with the fluctuating pulses in the monster's core.

"Got it," he murmured, raising his sword. A new energy coursed through the weapon, its edge flickering with a glow that matched the counter-frequency.

The monster roared and lunged once more.

This time, Rover was ready.
