Although Ye Zhiqiang didn't know the reason, he already realized that something was obviously not right about the situation, so he quickly whispered Zhao Qi's words to every member through the headset.
At the moment when all the members responded, Ye Zhiqiang suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Qi who indicated it, so he looked in the direction indicated.
In this vast expanse of white mist, there were many figures in the woods in the distance.
It can be vaguely seen that these people are walking in very strange steps and dancing in a strange dance.
At the front were musicians holding various musical instruments. Everyone's limbs were twisted to a very weird degree and they danced to the rhythm.
Listening to the music alone gave a sense of celebration, but watching the team's twisting pace was not festive at all, but rather strange.
Zhao Qi waved at Ye Zhiqiang, lowered his body, and kept approaching under the cover of trees.
This is not difficult for agents who are good at concealment, but these agents are also very surprised at this time.
What are these people doing in the forest?
Why are they here?
Isn't the mountain already blocked?
Zhao Qi and Ye Zhiqiang took the lead and hid again behind a tree one meter away from the team.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiang could clearly see that everyone in this team was wearing ancient clothes.
All the musicians wore red festive costumes, followed by people who were constantly twisting and dancing, wearing white clothes with wide robes and long sleeves.
There were some flowers dotted on the white clothes, but it was impossible to tell what kind they were.
There are two leaders in front of the musicians. These two people are holding white lanterns. The white light is very dazzling.
It wasn't until I saw the two people walking in the middle of the team that I was basically sure that this was a wedding team.
Because these two people were wearing ancient wedding clothes!
At first glance, their height and walking posture were no different from normal people, but as they focused their gaze, they suddenly saw that their faces turned out to be furry fox faces with pointed beaks!
"this……"
Ye Zhiqiang subconsciously covered his mouth, fearing that he would make a sound if he was distracted for a moment.
All the agents were stunned as if struck by lightning. They had never seen such a strange scene.
The wedding team jumped up and down, stopping every three steps, pausing at five steps, and turning around after seven steps.
Sometimes he turned his head and looked sideways; sometimes he covered his face and half squatted. The whole atmosphere was extremely strange, as if he was performing some kind of unique ritual and at the same time, he was also wary of something.
In the diffuse white mist, this team was looming.
Except for the newlywed couple in the middle, everyone on the outside acted very stiffly, like puppets on strings.
It’s hard to imagine how a person’s limbs could be twisted to such an extent.
Every action of this weird ritual presents a sense of anti-human exaggeration.
Just standing and watching from a distance made Yiye Zhiqiang and others get goosebumps all over their bodies.
It's like the uncanny valley effect.
Everyone in this team looks like a normal and ordinary person, but every action they make is extremely inconsistent with the definition of human beings.
When it rains, the fox gets married.
Ye Zhiqiang and others have heard this folk saying more or less, but they never thought that it was actually true.
The agents who had never seen such a situation held their breath nervously, and the wedding procession walked up and down to the sound of flutes and drums, slowly approaching the big tree where the agents were hiding.
Ye Zhiqiang carefully observed through the branches. Except for the bride in white and the groom in red scarf, everyone else had fox masks on their faces.
They all wore clean and tidy traditional clothes, but occasionally when performing some large body movements, Ye Zhiqiang could see several people in the team revealing the unique white coats of the scientific research team!
Ye Zhiqiang, who was about to speak to remind the agents, soon remembered that Zhao Qi had said that he could not speak at this time, so he could only keep this discovery in his heart for the time being.
What exactly is going on?
Why do the newlyweds have fox faces?
Are the missing scientists on this team?
Do they know what they are doing?
Ye Zhiqiang felt his mind was in chaos. Although he was a well-trained agent, he had never dealt with such a weird supernatural incident.
On the side, Zhao Qi frowned slightly, observing the team approaching from far away.
He has long been accustomed to seeing this kind of strange things, so he is more concerned about how to complete the next task than others.
The wedding team obviously did not notice the people hiding behind the tree.
They twisted and danced in weird ways as usual, slowly walking past the tree where everyone was hiding.
It wasn't until the team gradually walked away that Zhao Qifang said:
"You can talk now. If the distance is too far, they won't be able to sense the yang energy leaking out."
Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiang just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he looked at Zhao Qi and asked:
"The newlyweds in the team just now are really..."
"Yes, it's a fox..."
Zhao Qi looked at the direction in which the team disappeared without changing his expression:
"On a sunny day or rainy day, a fox gets married. This is a saying that has been passed down since ancient times. It is similar to Huang Pizi's quest for a title. It is also a way for folk spirits to become gods.
What you just saw is the fox's wedding procession.
I think I've figured out why the researchers disappeared.
Since it is only the early stage of the recovery of Yin Qi, there are not many animals that have become monsters, which leads to a shortage of people in the wedding team.
These scientific researchers were deceived by these foxes and used to form a marriage team.
The people wearing fox masks you could see just now are the missing scientific researchers. "
While talking, Zhao Qi lowered his head and took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket, then began to write something on the paper seriously, then tore off the paper and handed it to Ye Zhiqiang.
"No matter what method you use, you must find these things written on the paper and send them up the mountain in the shortest possible time."
Ye Zhiqiang looked at the paper in confusion. All the funeral items were written on it.
White lanterns leading the way, mourning clothes, red-crowned rooster blood, etc...
Most of everything written on the list can only be seen in folk funerals.
After handing the list to Ye Zhiqiang, Zhao Qi mixed the lard and cinnabar that had been prepared in advance and spread it on his hands.
Ye Zhiqiang carefully looked at the list handed over by Zhao Qi. What shocked him the most was that there was a coffin written in the list.
"Mr. Zhao, what are you preparing these things for?"
Facing Ye Zhiqiang's inquiry, Zhao Qi looked at him and answered concisely:
"Chongsha, steal the marriage!"
