The sixth post of the Inspection Department.
Commander Liu was sleeping soundly when he heard a quick knock on the door.
"Boom! Boom!"
This burly man who had retired from the Black Armor Army suddenly woke up.
He immediately sat up from the bed and asked loudly: "What's the matter?"
An anxious male voice came from outside the door: "Chief sentry, there is a flock of birds flying over the sentry post. Come out and take a look."
Commander Liu was a little confused.
What the hell?
He thought it was another emergency order from above, or a sudden and strange incident occurred within his jurisdiction, but he didn't expect it to be a flock of birds.
Commander Liu seemed a little angry: "Zhang Ting, have you never seen birds? Just wait until they fly away!"
The male voice outside the door urged again: "Chief Whistle, these birds are really different. You will understand when you come out and take a look."
Commander Liu replied angrily: "I know, I'll come right away."
He picked up his pocket watch and glanced at it. When he saw the hour hand pointed to three in the morning, he cursed: "It disturbs people's dreams."
But out of duty, Commander Liu quickly put on his uniform and opened the door.
A tall and tall inspector, Zhang Ting, immediately said: "Chief whistler, the birds are above the training ground."
Commander Liu's heart moved.
A few days ago, in the evening, he was walking in the training ground and picked up a lantern floating in the wind. As a result, he discovered a big conspiracy of the believers of the Ability God.
Later, the black-armored army launched a large-scale attack on the textile factory with thunderous force, killing several Ability God believers, and he himself also received a C-level commendation.
This time it's a training ground again. Could it be that the mysterious person did something good again?
The possibility is great!
Commander Liu's tone became excited: "Hurry over and have a look."
The two of them strode out of the dormitory building.
Still some distance away from the training ground, Commander Liu heard the intensive flapping of wings.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
He looked up and was immediately stunned.
Although the night was as thick as ink, as a warrior with extremely strong physical fitness, Commander Liu could still roughly see the scene in the sky clearly.
I saw a large flock of birds, estimated to be no less than a hundred in number, forming a ring connected end to end, constantly circling in the night sky.
This burly man had lived for decades, and this was the first time he witnessed such a strange sight, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Zhang Ting glanced at his boss's face and couldn't help but sneered: Ha! I just said that I have never seen a bird. Don’t you have the same virtue?
Commander Liu came to his senses and began to jog. In turn, he urged his subordinates: "Follow up quickly."
The commander had a strong hunch that this was most likely the work of a mysterious man.
At the same time, he was greatly impressed.
As expected of a mysterious person, he can always do things beyond ordinary people's imagination!
At this moment.
In the training ground, several inspectors rushed over. They all looked up at this rare sight, each with a look of shock on their faces.
Commander Liu just entered, and his subordinates quickly gathered around.
"Hello, Commander!"
"Chief whistler, what should we do with these birds?"
Commander Liu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please don't act rashly, let alone scare the birds. Just wait here."
If the flock of birds is really secretly controlled by a mysterious person, then it is certain that the flock of birds must be tasked with transmitting messages.
A group of people agreed.
Commander Liu hesitated and strode to the center of the training ground.
And this position is exactly aligned with the center point of the ring.
He guessed in his mind that most of the birds were coming towards him. After all, he was an acquaintance of the mysterious man, and cooperating with an acquaintance could save him a lot of trouble.
as expected.
A bird suddenly broke away from the ring, flapped its wings, drew an arc in the air, and dropped a small object towards the whistler.
Commander Liu quickly took a few steps to the left and caught it accurately.
This is a small paper roll.
Unfolding it, a scrawled painting was clearly drawn on it:
An extremely twisted, snake-like vine wrapped around an eerie two-story building.
There were many crooked figures around, all of them seemed to be struggling in pain.
Commander Liu had an expected feeling: "He is indeed a mysterious person."
He carefully observed the painting and murmured doubtfully: "Is the mysterious man telling us that there is a big problem with this house? But why doesn't he explain the location?"
Commander Liu suddenly noticed that there were small characters faintly visible on the back of the paper. He quickly turned it over and saw a few lines of extremely strange small characters:
"Hungry vines are whispering, the endless land is shrouded in shadow, and terrifying indescribable shapes are peering into the world.
"The ancient existence wandering outside the mists of time will want to return from the dark chaos.
"Follow the night owl, it will guide you in the right direction."
Although there were only a few words, the words "indescribable", "ancient", "chaos" and other words in it made Captain Liu's heart "thump".
He vaguely felt that these few sentences seemed to contain extremely important information.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The birds suddenly flew away in all directions and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
Only three birds remained.
They circled in a circle and landed on the ground together, shouting "quack" several times.
Commander Liu naturally understood that this was the bird responsible for guiding the way.
He carefully put away the paintings and told his subordinates: "Guard these birds and get them some food. Don't hurt them. I must go to the headquarters immediately."
A group of inspectors responded in unison: "Understood!"
Since the textile factory incident, Xuange sent two Master Xuanshi to temporarily station at the inspection office. Commander Liu planned to report to Master Xuanshi himself.
By the way, I also brush my face in front of the boss.

Shanyifang.
"...will guide you in the direction."
Cheng Han read the three sentences he wrote in an almost chanting manner.
He turned to look at the black cat and said with a proud smile: "Chief, are the poems I composed impromptu with great literary talent?"
The so-called "improvisation" simply means making up random things.
"Meow~"
The black cat wagged its tail and responded positively.
In fact, it doesn't quite understand what "excellent literary talent" means, but the owner can make delicious roast rabbit, so it feels that the owner is definitely right.
Well, barbecue is justice!
Cheng Han was full of enthusiasm: "If you want to perform a clever trick...well, it should be called a performance. The opening must be grand and leave a deep impression on people.
"When the people at the outpost saw a large group of birds circling in the sky, they would of course be severely punished, and they would naturally take a high look at the content in the painting.
"I deliberately put fancy nouns like 'mist of time' and 'dark chaos' in the poem, so they will think there is a big secret hidden in it.
"Next, they will try their best to interpret it as deeply as possible, and then they will find these sentences more and more extraordinary."
Cheng Han chuckled: "So, bluffing people is a very skillful thing."
At the end, he sighed with regret: "It's a pity that I can't get the BGM, otherwise I would have added a shocking soundtrack at the beginning.
"It's like watching a movie. A piece of powerful music can elevate the plot to a higher level and make the audience feel as excited as chicken blood."
"Meow~"
Black Cat is a qualified listener.
Although it didn't understand what its owner was saying at all, it was still trying to listen.
