"Well, the Luocang area is really big and there are many weird incidents. After a month, the weird value has been accumulated so much.

But it’s still far from enough.”

Jiang Yan shook his head, picked up today's new news, and immersed himself in reading it.

Luocang City is big enough, and with several acropolises, weird events happen almost every day. This is why Jiang Yan can quickly gain weirdness points.

He is checking these messages now, just looking for some weird things that are more cost-effective.

"Brother Jiang, I knew you were here."

A clear voice came in first, and then a young man walked in. This man was handsome and tall.

"Brother Ying" Jiang Yan raised his head and pointed to the empty seat next to him, meaning to ask him to sit next to him.

This young man's name is Ying Tianjiao, and he lives up to his name. Like Jiang Yan, he is a talented human race, but Jiang Yan relies on his talent, while Ying Tianjiao relies on his talent.

Ying Tianjiao seemed to be from a good background. He came to Luo Cangjing Yesi half a month ago and took over the position of deputy patrol envoy as soon as he arrived.

"Gudongdong." Ying Tianjiao drank tea. He looked at the various files on Jiang Yan's table and sighed helplessly, "Brother Jiang, I don't understand why you are so keen on hunting weirdos."

"Don't you have to take on tasks every day?" Jiang Yan asked back, his eyes fixed, and a strange incident attracted him.

"It's different. I regard this as a duty, a task, for merit and gold plating, but you are different. You do it out of interest."

"But the result is the same." Jiang Yan stood up slowly, "Brother Ying, if you are bored, you can go out with me."

He saw an interesting case and planned to deal with it. The message symbol lit up and Jiang Yan notified a deputy internal affairs envoy for filing.

"Go, of course I will go. Just following Brother Jiang and sharing some of the merits, I will naturally go."

Ying Tianjiao followed Jiang Yan out of the hall and out of Jingyesi, chattering all the way.

"Brother Jiang, after we finish handling this matter later, I'll treat you to some wine."

"I don't have time. I want to practice. Practice will enrich you, but mating will make you empty."

"Really? Then how did you get that feminine scent?"

"What the hell?"

Since the establishment of Jingyesi, because of the support of the eldest princess of the dynasty, it has become more majestic, more powerful, and has more and more people under its command. Now, it is able to fulfill its responsibilities.

Because the powers of the Jingyesi Division and the Commanding Division overlap, whenever a similar strange case occurs below, the Luocang Mansion Office will split the news into two and pass it on to both divisions at the same time.

In this case, the two companies will also exchange information to avoid wasting manpower.

An hour later, Jiang Yan and Ying Tianjiao arrived outside the city. Their destination was a village where strange things were happening.

Bai District Village.

Jiang Yan and Ying Tianjiao's visit this time was communicated through official channels, so there were already people waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

"Excuse me, the person who came here is Deputy Envoy Jiang, an old man from Wuzhou, the village leader of Bai District."

"Jiang Yan, thank you Wu Cunzheng for waiting." Jiang Yan stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists, saying a few polite words to Wu Cunzheng.

Afterwards, the three of them walked towards the south of the village. As they walked, Jiang Yan recalled the files he saw today.

Just yesterday, a farmer from Baiqu Village came to Cun Zheng's house and said that all the crops in his field had died inexplicably.

For a farmer, it is obviously a very painful thing when the crops in the field die and the harvest is gone.

Wu Cunzheng also attaches great importance to this matter. After all, crops cannot die for no reason. He needs to check the cause. If it is insect pests or other threats that can spread, it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

However, something terrible happened.

The farmer who reported to him suddenly died on the way, and his whole person turned into a torch and burned to ashes.

Now Wu Cunzheng took this matter seriously. He suspected that this was a strange incident and notified the Baiqu Village Patrol Team.

The captain of the patrol team of Baiqu Village went with him to the farmer's field. The field was bare and scorched black, as if it had been burned by flames.

The two of them did not take a step into the field, but they observed carefully for a while and found nothing special here.

However, they still did not enter the field. After all, the farmer who had just reported the situation was dead. There must be danger here.

As a result, half an hour later, things took a new turn. The scorched black area in the field began to expand, and it doubled in size.

Wu Cunzheng and the patrol leader were shocked. It turned out that the soil in the entire field had undergone some unknown changes. Although they were shocked, they were very lucky that they had not stepped into the scorched soil.

In order to verify certain things, they also found a few living creatures and threw them into the charred earth.

In the end, the living creatures turned into mummies after a few struggles in the charred black earth, and the water in their bodies seemed to have been evaporated.

They summarized the rules and found that this piece of burnt mud would double in size every half an hour, and all the living creatures in it would seem to be being dried, losing all moisture.

But fortunately, as long as you don't step into the scorched mud, there is no danger.

This matter has exceeded the processing capacity of the Baiqu Village Patrol Team, so they reported the matter.

"Is that piece of burnt mud still expanding from yesterday to now?" Jiang Yan asked.

"Yes, it's still expanding." Wu Cunzheng was worried. The scorched mud had destroyed many crops and affected many livelihoods. The livelihood of these people ended up being his fault.

Jiang Yan stopped talking, pursed his lips tightly, and followed Wu Cunzheng to the south of the village.

"Xia Guang meets the deputy envoy!"

In front of the charred ground, the patrol captain saluted Jiang Yan.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that Jiang Yan came to Jingyesi, because Luocang Jingyesi was a third-rank government agency, and he got the position of deputy envoy. According to the imperial official system, this was regarded as a fifth-rank official position.

Jiang Yan greeted him and looked at the burnt mud in front of him.

It was pitch black, as if it had been baked by mountain fire, without any trace of life, and filled with the meaning of death.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like a dark scar in the green, disgusting and ugly.

“Brother Ying, do you recognize what this is??”

Jiang Yan opened his left hand and felt it was cold. He knew it was something strange, but he couldn't recognize its type.

As for the fact that its land cover was extremely large, Jiang Yan didn't care. According to records, some powerful monsters were as high as mountains.

"I seem to have seen this in some special books." Ying Tianjiao's face became serious, and he frowned and thought hard.

"Think about it if you have an impression. I'll test it first to see if I can kill it directly." Jiang Yan turned around and said to Wu Cunzheng and Xia Guang, "Organize the nearby farmers and ask them to stay away quickly."
