Zhiguai Division, front yard.
When everyone saw Lu Chen returning, the chatter became much quieter. Looking at the tall figure, there was a slight fear and teasing in their eyes.
Not long ago, Hu Zhongshan was carried away from the rocks. His injuries were quite severe and he never regained consciousness. He is currently being treated.
Seriously injuring Commander Hu's adopted son in front of so many people was a slap in the commander's face.
The members of the Zhiguai Division all know deep down that although Commander Hu appears to be gentle, he is actually extremely sinister. This journey of being in the Zhiguai Division has come to an end.
When three team members who originally belonged to Hu Zhongshan blocked the way of Lu Chen and Chen Jinnan, everyone was in high spirits, knowing that something good was going to happen.
Lu Chen looked at the three people in front of him. The one on the left was a thin young man with a green face, and in the middle was a tall, somewhat taciturn man.
On the far right was a woman with a fair face, her arms folded across her chest, looking at Lu Chen expressionlessly.
"Guys, what's the matter?" Lu Chen glanced at the group of people.
The man among them cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the road team. We are Captain Hu's team members. From left to right, we are Liu Feng, Xu Yan, and Ding Yu.
"Commander Hu just ordered us to follow you from now on."
Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I am the new captain, I need your help if I need anything."
"We can't talk about helping. We came here to ask the road team for a favor."
Xu Yan in the middle cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "We will cooperate with the mission of the Zhigui Division, but for all other activities, the road team must be responsible for it themselves."
"Is this what the three of them have already discussed?" Lu Chen glanced at the three of them and understood that they were taking sides.
Xu Yan and the three of them looked at each other and nodded. Then he looked at Lu Chen and said, "Team Lu, please forgive me. This is something we ordinary team members don't want to see."
Lu Chen glanced at the team members talking around him and understood that he was isolated, but he didn't care, "I will come to you if there is a mission. Normally, this is fine."
The purpose of his coming here is simple. He gets a monthly salary and can participate in the mission of killing weirdos. There are no other requirements.
The three men breathed a sigh of relief. For fear of embarrassing the captain, Xu Yan solemnly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Captain Lu."
After the three people left, Chen Jinnan shook his head and said, "Commander Hu is difficult to deal with. When Commander Cheng comes back, I will ask him to come forward to coordinate."
In the following time, Lu Chen stayed in the Zhiguai Department and started his first day of duty.
You can move around as you like here, and you will be served with good tea, so you can get off work on time.
All in all, as long as nothing weird happens, this is the most suitable retirement job.
Unfortunately, this world is full of weirdness. If you are not careful, you will be contaminated by weirdness, or you will be killed inexplicably, or you will be dragged into large-scale sacrifices as sacrifices.
After finishing his work for the day, Lu Chen just came home from get off work. For the whole day, no one from Zhiguisi talked to him, and he was completely ignored.
…
Night, dark room.
Hu Yue sat at the desk, looking through the files by candlelight, "The strange incident in Daoxiang Village, suspected of the arrival of an evil god, thirty-three survivors."
"The village chief Lu Changhe, and his wife Bai, in order to save their deceased daughter..."
The dim candlelight reflected the uncertainty on his face. When he read that Lu Chen helped seize the town stone, he finally killed the culprit Bai with the power of thunder.
Hu Yue's eyes narrowed and his index finger tapped the table rhythmically, "You are quite a talent. It's a pity that you were born in Daoxiang Village."
He picked up another dossier, which said that the team was plotted by a cult demon on their way back, but luckily Lu Shen came to rescue them.
The team obtained secrets from the demon's mouth. Lord Cha is the culprit of several recent mysterious incidents. There are spies of the cult demon in the Department of Monsters.
When he saw this sentence, Hu Yue's expression finally changed, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
The rapid chirping of insects outside the window suddenly disappeared, the night suddenly became dark, like a soft curtain, and a gust of cold wind blew open the door.
A human voice sounded from the shadows in the corner, "That idiot could have just sneaked into the Yuanhe Martial Arts Hall, but he insisted on attacking this team."
"This is not your good subordinate." Hu Yue looked at the figure in the shadow with a gloomy face.
The man was tall and tall, wearing a black mask, and was leaning against the pillars of the room. "You are under suspicion. Your Majesty wants you to try your best to keep this identity."
"Although they doubt me but have no evidence, they can still hold on for a while." Hu Yue put down the file and picked up the tea cup, "The only person who will cause problems is the boy named Lu Chen.
"This person is an aboriginal of Daoxiang Village. I don't know what his relationship is with Lu Changhe. He may have clues about me."
Crow pondered for a moment, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, "Do you need me to do something?"
Hu Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "I plan to let him go to Heishui Village. It is only reasonable to let him die in a strange incident."
"Then you move faster. If you lose your identity as Shikaiji, your next actions will be a little troublesome." The man named Crow melted into the shadows.
Squeak... The deep night was slightly distorted, and then there was the sound of insects, and the whole room instantly came back to life.
The smile on Hu Yue's face disappeared, he threw the file aside and took out a document with the words "Heishui Village Spooky Groom Incident" written on it.
…
The next morning, the sky was dark.
Lu Chen bought meat buns and sweet soy milk from "Songji" at the corner of the street. While eating, he walked to Zhiguisi to start a new working life.
There are constant pedestrians on the street, the sound of hawking is endless, and the atmosphere of life is full.
Lu Chen was eating steamed buns, observing the nearby terrain, and thinking about the next arrangements.
Improving my strength must be my top priority. I have already joined the Zhigui Division and I just need to wait for arrangements to deal with strange incidents.
I forgot to ask about the source of essence yesterday, but today I can find a way to find out. If I can get a lot of source of essence, I can directly fill up the powerful tiger demon fist.
Maybe he can challenge Vice Commander Hu then... After Lu Chen finished eating the buns, he happened to pass by the brothel by the bridge. This time he saw clearly the name on the plaque - Yanyu Tower.
If there is any place that is easy to pry for information, it must be a place where gambling houses, wine shops, brothels and other three religions and nine streams gather. The Yanyu Tower is the property of the White Tiger Gang, and it may be a breakthrough point.
Lu Chen drank it all, thinking that he might be able to find some clues about Mr. Cha if he went in after get off work.
This person is the culprit of the Daoxiang Village incident, and Lu Chen will never let him go. In addition to avenging the villagers of Daoxiang Village, if this person is not found as soon as possible, many people will die.
After entering the gate of Zhigui Department, Lu Chen entered the lobby and found a place to sit down.
I heard from Chen Jinnan that Ning Xiaochan and the others were seriously injured and needed some time to recuperate, so Sizhong gave them seven days' leave.
Today, no one paid attention to Lu Shen. Everyone kept a distance from him, as if they were avoiding a disaster, for fear of being targeted by Deputy Commander Hu if he got involved.
Especially Xu Yan and the three of them, when they saw him in the lobby, they were unwilling to even come in, let alone say hello to him, unless there was something urgent.
Lu Shen was also happy and peaceful. He was thinking about how to go to Yanyu Tower to find out the news. Most of the day had passed.
Seeing that it was time to get off work, Xu Yan hurriedly found Lu Chen and handed over an official document with a fire seal and a document with a bright red letterhead.
"Captain Lu, please send us an official document asking us to set off immediately." Xu Yan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "We suspect there is something strange at the prefecture level. Liu Feng and the others are already waiting outside."
Lu Chen glanced at the document and found out that several people had been killed in a strange streak, and the situation had escalated rapidly, and he was asked to lead his team to Blackwater Village to deal with it quickly.
The bottom one has Vice Commander Hu's signature and the bright red seal of the Zhigui Division.
Lu Chen looked at the document next to him and saw on the cover, written in bright red handwriting: "The Incident of the Spooky Groom in Blackwater Village".
"Go to Heishui Village immediately." Lu Chen took the documents and planned to understand the situation while hurrying, and strode out of the door.
All the way out of the Zhiguai Department gate, Lu Chen had almost understood the documents.
This Heishui Village is located in the mountains a hundred miles west of Liangshan County. It is a remote and backward small village. There is a legend circulating in the village.
About a hundred years ago, a groom married a woman from Heishui Village. However, on the day he entered Heishui Village, he disappeared inexplicably into the woman's home.
The bride searched every corner of the village but could not find the groom, so on the seventh day after he disappeared, she hung herself from the beam in her wedding dress.
Later, there was a legend about the mysterious groom in the village. He would appear every night at midnight, riding a white horse and carrying a sedan chair to marry his bride.
This was originally a strange story meant to scare children. Unexpectedly, half a month ago, the strange groom actually appeared.
It was a starry night, and the silence was broken by the cheerful sound of suona. Yellow paper money was flying in the sky, and paper figures with blushed smiles and exaggerated smiles entered the village carrying sedans.
The groom rides a paper horse to the home of the chosen woman and picks up the bride.
In the early morning of the next day, villagers found their daughter's body at the entrance of the village. She was in a miserable state of death, her clothes were disheveled, and she had been subjected to inhuman torture before her death.
On the third night after this incident, the strange groom appeared again in Blackwater Village.
The selected family did not want their daughter to suffer, so they took up a hoe to resist. The parents were hanged from the beams of their own house, but the bride was still married off.
After half a month of this, seven people had been killed.
The Department of Ghosts and Monsters rated it as earth-level weird, and suspected that there was a shadow of a cult demon behind it.
"Captain, you can ride horses for the first half of the journey from Liangshan County to Heishui Village, but after passing Maotou Mountain, you have to travel through the mountains. We won't be able to get there until tomorrow at the earliest."
With a solemn expression, Liu Feng opened the map and pointed out the direction for Lu Shen.
On the mission related to the strange incident in Heishui Village, Xu Yan and the other three no longer had any concerns about Deputy Commander Hu, but instead tried their best to cooperate with Lu Shen.
This made Lu Chen quite satisfied with them, and he always kept his spirits up when faced with important matters involving human life.
At this time, Ding Yu has brought the fast horse, "Captain, the horse is ready and ready to go at any time."
Although Lu Chen couldn't ride a horse, he had powerful force. He got on his horse and said, "Liu Feng will lead the way. Let's set off."
