The Ninth Bureau — Episode 2

Not solid. Not any known material. What is it? Unknown.

The perimeter keeps changing. Measurements from three days ago don't match now. Beneath the foundation. You all saw it.

Three days ago, at public coordinates, 17 non-human corpses. Cause of death unknown.

Severe burn marks on the bodies, but no fire at the scene. Tech investigated the site. These creatures match no known species.

All known anomalies are escalating. The train tragedy: 32 passengers,

none survived. No blood, no struggle signs. North City Mall,

last Saturday afternoon, peak foot traffic. Plastic mannequins suddenly came alive

and attacked. Seven confirmed dead. Injuries still being counted. All vanished before police arrived,

disappearing deep into the parking lot. Gone without a trace. The energy residue at dawn matches what was found

on those non-human corpses. Same type. Not a different anomaly, but the same source.

Anomalies are shifting from closed spaces to open public areas. And this time, the anomaly itself

leaves behind meaningful symbols. Based on all known anomalies, comprehensive assessment, with approval from above,

from today onwards, the 9th Bureau is officially reactivated.
