How could Zhang Lang not understand the meaning of his words? He immediately said: "What kind of task is it? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Are you willing to help?" Ning Yi made a surprised expression: "To be honest, your high magic resistance ability can really play a big role in this mission... But I don't know how you are recovering now? After all, according to Zeus As my lord said before, it’s a miracle that you can come before me now.”
Zhang Lang sneered: "Although Zeus is known as the strongest of the Shen clan, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. I have fully recovered, otherwise how could I dare to trouble Luo Wei?"
"That's good!" Ning Yi nodded. At this time, he ordered Ding Min, who had just made tea, to bring over the items on his desk.
"This is the mission information." Ning Yi handed the document to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang looked at it, and the title was "Investigation Report on Sanqi Town".
Turning to the home page, there are several photos. The first one is a high-altitude bird's-eye view of a small town. The following pictures show the main facilities of the town.
The town is not big, with only one main street, one shopping mall, one train station, one hospital and two schools. One primary school, one with middle school and high school. If you want to go to university, you have to go to a bigger city.
The following is a general introduction to the town: Sanqi Town is a small town located in Aiyu County in the south of Yingzhou, with a total population of less than 40,000. It is adjacent to Sanqi Mountain to the west and passes through a river named Santuchuan to the east. In ancient times, sericulture was the main industry, and the silk produced was famous far and wide...
"It looks like an ordinary town." Zhang Lang raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yi.
"Yes, at least a few years ago, this place was really ordinary." Ning Yi looked at the photo and sighed slightly.
"As the hometown of the vast majority of reincarnations, the main world is the world most closely connected with the altar."
"Although the rules of the altar try to avoid the secular world's understanding of the altar, with more than 10,000 reincarnations living here, it is inevitable that the power of the altar will leak into the main world, causing adverse effects. This is also what happens occasionally around the world. The source of supernatural stories and the like.”
"And our Broken Sword's mission is to solve these troubles and keep the main world in a peaceful and stable state."
Zhang Lang thought of the guy he met on the train before and was dealt with by the Broken Sword, the guy who vomited blood in the toilet.
"Such as dealing with out-of-control reincarnators?"
Ning Yi smiled: "Dealing with reincarnations who abuse their power is our most common and simplest task... But those are basically sacrifices or weak heroes. When they become stronger and come into contact with the power of more altars, , the reincarnators will pay more attention to the main world and try not to cause trouble."
"Luo Wei is the best proof. As cruel as he is, he doesn't want to make a big news in the main world."
"But this one is much more difficult than a naughty reincarnation." Ning Yi pointed at Zhang Lang's report.
Zhang Lang frowned slightly and continued to turn the pages. He found that the second page was a long list with the title:
"Currently, the list of people missing in Sanqi Town has been confirmed."
Missing? Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the list. There were more than 400 people on the full page. Looking back, there were more than ten pages of lists. The total was probably more than 5,000 people.
Are so many people missing in this small town? This is no longer a simple incident. It should have been on the news and caused panic in the local area, right?
"I know what you are wondering about." Ning Yi smiled and said, "This is also the reason why we find it difficult."
"In fact, a month ago, we didn't even know there was anything strange about this town. We discovered that something was wrong with this place because of the disappearance of a reincarnator."
"To be precise, we didn't even notice the disappearance of the reincarnated person at first. We noticed something was wrong because the missing person's teammates participated in a mission limited to ten people, but only nine entered the mission, and these nine Personally, I can’t even remember that there is a tenth teammate!”
"Cognitive masking?" Zhang Lang frowned.
"This kind of power is very tough." Ning Yi took a sip of tea: "So these nine people asked Broken Sword for help. After our investigation, we found that the missing reincarnator is a resident of this town."
"Then we began to investigate around this town and gradually discovered its weirdness... We used the power of the altar to deduce the list of more than 5,000 people through various illogical signs in reality, because All people who disappear in the town will have their sense of existence wiped out, and the people closest to them will not be able to remember them, so we cannot verify more people at all, and the real number of missing people should be much higher than this number!"
At this point, Ning Yi turned back to the introduction on the first page: "We even suspect that the population in the official introduction of this town has been revised. Originally, this town should be far more than 40,000 people!"
Zhang Lang flipped through the list, followed by the investigation process of these missing persons, including classification, analysis, and trying to find certain patterns through their occupation, experience, age, education, what they had done before disappearing, etc. But after many pages of analysis, there are no substantive results.
The only thing these people have in common is that they are all related to this town. They are either aborigines or they have never been out of the town since they visited it.
Zhang Lang continued to flip back and finally found the investigation results about the cause of the disappearance.
"Evil spirit?"
Zhang Lang raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yi, pointed at the conclusion of the report and said: "The reincarnation of the Broken Sword introduces
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page ^0^ After investigating, it was found that there are a large number of spirits living in the town. It is initially suspected that evil spirits are responsible for the disappearance of people? "
"This is the only abnormality in the town that we can find." Ning Yi replied.
"But the attack of the evil spirit will only kill people, but it will not even cause the people around him to remember the existence of this person." Zhang Lang looked at Ning Yi: "This is obviously the ability to erase existence, involving the distortion of reality and cognition... …It is no longer the category of evil spirits.”
"It is indeed impossible for ordinary evil spirits..." Ning Yi shook his head and said: "But if there are thousands of powerful evil spirits in a town, and they devour each other and continue to grow stronger, will it eventually be like raising poisonous spirits? , how about giving birth to a particularly powerful existence?"
"Quantitative change causes qualitative change?" Zhang Lang touched his chin. He didn't do much research on things like evil spirits, so he couldn't judge whether what Ning Yi said was possible.
"In short, we at Broken Sword cannot sit idly by for a supernatural incident of this scale..." Ning Yi solemnly said: "Currently, I have sent an elite team to Sanqi Town. All members of the team have experience in handling spiritual incidents. He has experience and the ability to deal with evil spirits. In addition, there is a hero-level person in charge!"
"Normally, such a luxurious lineup should be enough to deal with all the evil spirits in the real world... But I don't know why, I still feel a little uneasy. If someone like you is willing to help, it will undoubtedly be a great help to us. !”
"I can help." Zhang Lang nodded: "But we have to leave tomorrow at the earliest."
Tonight, he will also attend Wang Defa's rally.
"No problem." Ning Yi immediately told Ding Min to book tickets for tomorrow, and at the same time took out a piece of information for Zhang Lang: "This is the list of teams currently investigating in Sanqi Town. It has their photos, names, altar codes and... The abilities you are good at... By the way, there are also your acquaintances."
"My acquaintance?" Zhang Lang looked at the result information and found that the person ranked at the top was a high school girl with straight bangs and long black hair, named Matsumoto...
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
