"Did Senior Xia come here alone?"
"No, there's another kid."
"?"
After hearing the answer, Qi Zhuyue suddenly thought of a person. The only person in their bureau who could be called a kid was...
"Yes, that's the kid you think of."
"Then the little Taoist priest is...?"
Faced with Qi Zhuyue's question, the short-haired police officer looked away suspiciously.
Xia Chengyin forgot about the person. He left the person to a local colleague to borrow and then came to find Qi Zhuyue himself.
He followed others to the back mountain and was diverted to see the Banyan Tree Pit. As he came and went, he forgot about Gao Tianyi.
But the problem is not big. For a while, Gao Tianyi estimated that he didn't have time to look for him, so he could just pick him up when he left.
Qi Zhuyue: "...I always feel that Taoist Xiao Gao is very pitiful."
Xia Chengyin: "No, he didn't react until he was riding in my car yesterday -"
Before Xia Chengyin finished speaking, Qi Zhuyue looked over in horror and stood further away cautiously.
The former "victim" said sincerely: "It would be worse if I rode in your car."
The "causing driver" glanced sideways: "Don't be poor, where did you just say?"
Qi Zhuyue snorted: "Senior Xia, if you ask Bai Su... people feel a little strange, but they are still within the normal range."
"It's An Xiangwen on the contrary... He seems to have noticed something from the beginning. He always scares me on the road."
"But An Xiangwen seems to have said nothing to Bai Su."
"An Xiangwen?" Xia Chengyin repeated the name, "Tell me more about it later, where are we going now?"
The narrow path reached a fork in the road, and looking to the left, right and in the distance, there were ruins of courtyards in a mess.
"Left," Qi Zhuyue said, "Bai Su and An Xiangwen stayed there last night, and their luggage should be there too."
"The only thing I have is my gun, which I have with me."
The puja does not prohibit tourists from bringing luggage, but most people still put their carry-on bags in their rooms.
Now to be precise, it is called a relic.
"Okay." Xia Chengyin turned to the left.
The two stepped over the fallen tree trunks blocking the road, and before entering a vast area of ruins, their footsteps stopped again.
It’s not that there are obstacles in the way, it’s what humans see.
"This is really..." The short-haired police officer looked ahead, not even reacting when the burnt end of the cigarette burned his knuckles.
Soon, Xia Chengyin crushed the cigarette butt into a small ball with his thumb and threw it into the grass beside him.
The man took two steps forward and stepped on the edge of the fracture formed by the landslide.
Xia Chengyin knew that the foundation of Fuzhao Temple should be a cult.
Seeing the human bodies and corpses lying in various directions at the entrance of the temple, he guessed that the so-called Dharma meeting should be a ceremony or something.
Then he thought from the extent of the temple's destruction that the ceremony must have failed.
But it wasn't until he saw the scene in front of him that Xia Chengyin had a real sense of the scale of this cult.
——There are numerous bones buried under the collapsed soil.
Because of the changes in the terrain, all the blood and sin buried deep in the ground were uncovered and exposed to the gray sky.
The ones at the bottom were completely broken bones, and it was impossible to tell how many corpses had been cut into pieces and mixed together and thrown into the pit, and then covered with sand layer by layer.
"It seems like something is missing." Xia Chengyin said to himself.
There is no skull among the piles of bones visible to the naked eye, and other parts may be missing, but the skull looks more obvious.
"Senior Xia, look at that over there..." Qi Zhuyue pointed to an inconspicuous corner, where a few pieces of clothing were exposed.
The person who wanted to hide the body didn't have the patience to remove the clothes from the body, so he just threw it away.
The two of them stood above the break. Xia Chengyin asked Qi Zhuyue to wait on top, and he jumped down in twos and twos.
Xia Chengyin picked up a cement block from a high place and peeled away the loose soil. Xia Chengyin saw the human arm covered underneath.
It's very fresh, and judging from the degree of corruption, it hasn't been dead for long.
The short-haired police officer took a deep breath, threw the cement block aside, and then climbed up the same road.
Xia Chengyin picked at the edge of the fracture, leaving several deep finger marks on the ground with his fingers. It could be seen that the man's mood was not very stable.
After he stood up, he quickly took out a new cigarette and lit it. The nicotine calmed down his anxiety a little.
"Sure enough, supernatural...things like this deserve to die."
…
I used my headset to make a brief message to the "forgotten" trail leader, asking him to notify his local colleagues to bring more people to the back mountain to dispose of the bones. Remember to bring a rope ladder, as the road was broken.
Without waiting for the young man on the other end to reply, Xia Chengyin turned off the headphones, took them off and threw them into his pocket.
"Let's go."
The two continued walking forward and entered the ruins of the bungalow building.
There were many personal items on the ground buried under the bricks and tiles. Qi Zhuyue recognized the path and pointed in the direction.
"It should be next to a very tall tree... Let's look for a tree stump for reference."
Fortunately, the crown of the tree is gone, but the stump is still there, and some of the characteristics of the crooked-neck tree remain.
The black-haired girl was about to get closer when she was stopped by the short-haired police officer.
"Wait a minute." Xia Chengyin squinted, "Hold the gun, there's something wrong."
The detector didn't work well in this temple. No matter where I took it out, the alarm kept sounding.
Now, judging whether it is dangerous to stop someone depends entirely on Xia Chengyin's personal experience.
Qi Zhuyue did not doubt that he was there, so she immediately stopped and raised her gun.
If something went wrong, she would raise her hand and shoot.
Just like she said, her shooting skills are still - Huh?
A strange thought appeared in his mind. Qi Zhuyue was stunned for a moment, still thinking about why such a thought came to mind. His companions had already rushed out.
Xia Chengyin didn't know when he put on his sunglasses again and punched the wall. Cracks appeared in response, and quickly spread to the bottom and exploded directly.
Not only the rocks flew up, but also a white shadow rushed out.
The white shadow didn't move far away, but stayed not far from the two humans.
Only then did humans get a full glimpse of Bai Ying.
It was a white floc with no specific shape, and its characteristics instantly reminded humans of the white monster that had its name in their bureau a while ago.
He remembered... the information said that something would happen if you touched it, but he couldn't take it lightly.
The short-haired police officer cautiously distanced himself again, but the white mass did not care about the state of the human being, but instead rummaged through the bag on the ground.
"That's An Xiangwen's bag." Qi Zhuyue reminded from behind.
The white floc seemed to be taking out something from the bag... it was a power bank, and then it was balled up and put into the "body".
There were two weird gurgling sounds, and humans couldn't help but think that the power bank had been eaten.
Immediately, the white flocculent took out the second power bank from the bag.
Then, piece by piece, the white floc emptied everything in An Xiang's bag.
Qi Zhuyue opened her mouth: "Are there any supernatural beings who eat power banks?"
