Thirty-six hours after the Black Hole appeared.
In the view through the Black Hole above V City, the world on the other side finally shifted from its long day into night.
Nine Nether and Son of Heaven's earlier assessment of how day and night affected monster numbers had been correct.
Things were manageable when both sides were in darkness. As long as the city kept as many lights off as possible, its influence on the other world was minimal.

That was precisely V City's current situation.
Even with people assigned to continuously create dark clouds beneath the Black Hole, they could not completely block out the strong natural daylight.
Thus, starting that morning, when night fell in the other world, the frequency of monsters dropping through V City's Black Hole began increasing at a visible rate.
Silkworms, moths, fish, and insects, flies and beasts-all sorts of light-loving creatures kept tumbling out of the Black Hole.

These two teams had a simple objective: specifically to pin down and intercept the occasional
