The clouds and mist are lingering, and the heaven and earth are plunged into mist and confusion. The thick clouds divide the whole world into divisions, and the vast clouds and mist are the clear boundaries.
The towering mountain peaks have long been blurred, leaving only a rough outline.
A shadow flew straight into the sky, passed through the clouds, and brought up countless wind and clouds. Even the people on the ground felt the mysterious aura.
The surrounding fog was hazy, and everyone could not see clearly, but they could feel the majestic momentum.
Looking carefully, it seemed to be a slender and thick body, but because it was too far away, they couldn't see clearly, but it reminded them of the legendary creature-a dragon.
Could it be that the strange noise I heard just now was also the sound of dragon roaring?
The shadow kept moving back and forth in the clouds, moving very fast, and its body was so long that the head and tail were invisible. The clouds were also constantly changing, as if they were clearing the way for this creature.
In fact, what they saw was not Ye Qin's true body, but a special phenomenon formed by the energy of heaven and earth surrounding Ye Qin's body, infinitely magnifying his figure.
Everyone was stunned by the strange scene in the sky, and it took a long time before they slowly came back to their senses.
However, when they looked again, the shadow had disappeared into the clouds and merged with the surrounding fog, as if it was all an illusion just now.
The clouds and mist began to dissipate. Without the key to the mysterious world, the two spaces inside and outside began to merge and connect again, and the mountains returned to their original appearance.
The green indigo in the distant mountains is endlessly beautiful.
The surroundings have returned to calm, and the original strangeness is no longer visible. However, the mysterious shadow lingers in their minds, becoming an unforgettable scene in their lives.
I don't know if it's their illusion, but I always feel like a pair of eyes are sweeping across from above, with supreme majesty, which makes people's hearts palpitate.
Silent silence spread, and everyone's expressions were filled with surprise.
It took a while before someone broke the silence.
"Is the creature just now a dragon?"
"Is there something flying in the sky?"
The person who said this spoke in a very low voice, as if he was worried about disturbing some kind of existence.
The nearby citizens opened their eyes wide and looked up at the sky, hoping to see the true face of the mysterious creature again. Unfortunately, the sea of clouds was so vast that they could not see anything clearly, but it left people with endless reveries.
"It must be a dragon! Besides dragons, what other creature can look like this?"
"Maybe the thunder we just saw was this dragon going through a tribulation?"
The crowd speculated one after another and did not disperse for a long time. They kept observing the sky scene. Some people even took out their Mate60, which was far ahead of the competition, to take pictures in the distance.
At the same time, the Forestry Bureau and special police on the mountain also discovered traces of the tiger.
Suddenly, he couldn't care about the strange voices and movements he heard earlier. The top priority was to catch the tiger and take him away from here.
After all, this place gave them a really weird feeling.
The vast mountains are hidden in the thick fog, as if a giant beast from ancient times has awakened, watching every move of the people below.
The surroundings were even more silent, with no sound coming from them. It was as if they were the only ones left in the world, which invisibly added a lot of pressure to people.
"There are footprints here, they should be heading southeast!"
The southeast direction was the center of Ye Qin's tribulation. They followed the traces and saw a looming brown shadow not far away. They stayed in place motionless. They didn't know if the anesthetic had an effect.
No matter what the situation was, everyone did not dare to let down their guard and approached cautiously.
Since there were many obstructions in front of them, everyone could not see very clearly. As they got closer, they felt that the Siberian tiger's posture was a bit strange.
After pushing aside the grass in front of them and truly seeing the movements of the Siberian tiger, everyone was stunned on the spot, unable to believe what they saw.
"What is this tiger doing?"
The brown figure was lying on the ground, its hind limbs bent in a kneeling posture, but the palms of its forelimbs were closed, and its ferocious head was prostrating on the ground.
The original king of the forest now looks like a tamed big cat.
But the key is who can tame such a big tiger?
The Forestry Bureau, the special police and others felt extremely ridiculous in their hearts.
Why does this Siberian tiger look like a human? !
He actually knelt down and kowtowed like a human being!
What is it worshiping?
Many doubts emerged in everyone's mind, before they could figure out what the reason was.
As if aware of their arrival, the black and yellow ears twitched slightly, the ferocious beast head turned around, and its faint gaze fell on them.
Those beast eyes were like huge lanterns, emitting bright light in the dim environment.
Obviously, the tiger in front of them is no different from before, but everyone just feels that there are some changes in it, but they can't tell the specifics.
Seeing that the Siberian tiger was in high spirits and was not affected by the anesthetic at all, the Forestry Bureau and the special police were a little confused.
Although only half of the anesthetic was injected at the beginning, it stands to reason that it should also be effective now. The Siberian tiger should not be in this state.
The SWAT officer raised his gun and wanted to shoot again.
Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, the Siberian tiger's first reaction was to run away. After all, it had already suffered from the anesthesia gun before. However, the tiger in front of it not only had no intention of running away, but instead quietly watched their actions on the spot.
How do you describe that feeling?
It's like going to the zoo to see monkeys in the past. The way they looked at the monkeys is probably the way the tiger in front of them looks at them now.
The strange feeling in everyone's hearts is getting heavier and heavier.
"call out!"
With the sound of cracking in the air, the anesthetic needle was fired at lightning speed.
The Siberian tiger turned sideways seemingly inadvertently. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or an accident. The anesthetic needle passed by and landed on the big tree next to it.
Although the reaction speed of tigers is several times that of humans, it stands to reason that such a distance is still accurate, and it is difficult for Siberian tigers to avoid it.
At this moment, the Siberian tiger was very leisurely, wagging its tail slightly to show that it was in a good mood, and even licked its fur. This provocative action did not put the foresters and special police officers in the eyes at all.
If it could speak human words, it would definitely say something.
"Come and hit me!"
The special police fired a few more shots without belief, but without exception, all of them failed. The Siberian tiger didn't even make any major evasive movements, as if he had predicted his behavior in advance.
"Damn it, this tiger has opened up Ren and Du's second meridians, how come it has become so sensitive?"
"Is this the legendary Shenfa Tiger?"
"This is not a tiger that ran away from the zoo. This is probably a tiger that ran away from the Shaolin Temple or the Wudang Sect."
I don’t know if it was everyone’s misunderstanding, but I saw a mocking look on the Siberian tiger’s furry face.
"Why do I feel like this tiger is laughing at us?"
"What a coincidence, I feel the same way."
The corners of the Siberian tiger's mouth turned up slightly, as if he heard their words, and smiled sarcastically.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
How could a tiger laugh at a human?
The Siberian tiger slowly raises its forelimbs. Unlike the cute pads of kittens, it makes people want to pinch it.
The enlarged version of the meat pad, with the claws hidden in it looming, can easily tear the body of the prey into pieces, giving people a great sense of shock.
For a moment, the foresters and special police were on the verge of a formidable enemy, thinking that the Siberian tiger was going to attack them.
However, he saw the furry claws shaking, as if waving.
? ? ?
What does this mean?
Countless question marks appeared in everyone's mind, and they heard a tiger roar. The Siberian tiger quickly disappeared into the forest behind, so fast that it formed an afterimage in the air.
When the foresters and special policemen reacted, there was no trace of the Siberian tiger anywhere, and only a few golden tiger hairs fell from the air.
Someone said uncertainly: "Did it just wave to us?"
"seems like it."
It felt like the Siberian tiger had had enough fun, showed his face, said hello and walked away.
Everyone finally understood where the previous sense of disharmony came from. They didn't look like tigers, but more like one person.
No matter how much shock this human-like tiger brought to them, they still wanted to capture the old man.
The Forestry Bureau and special police officers continued to search in the direction in which the Siberian tiger left. However, this time, no matter how they searched, there was no trace of the Siberian tiger, as if it had disappeared from the world.
The search team divided into several groups and expanded the search area.
"Captain, come here quickly!"
I heard shouts not far away, as if something new had been discovered, and everyone hurried over.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone's eyes widened and they froze on the spot, and a deathly silence spread.
This place seems to have experienced a century of war. The ground is all scorched and black. The thick trees have been broken at the waist. The soil is all exposed, as if it has been turned upside down.
In addition, there are many potholes on the ground, which seem to have been smashed out by long objects. It is difficult to imagine what kind of force caused it, and it is almost impossible to find a good place to set foot.
The most important thing is that there is a dark object not far away, I don’t know what it is!
Someone in the team stepped forward to check and covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming.
"Yes, it's a corpse!"
Everyone's expressions changed and they hurriedly stepped forward to investigate. However, looking at the marks on the body, they should have been struck by lightning.
But under such circumstances, with dense thunder and lightning in the mountains, how could anyone step into this place without fear of death.
Unless he doesn't have eyes, or there is some reason that drives him to behave like this.
Later, after it was discovered that the dead body was still a foreigner, this matter became even more unusual.
"Report it quickly."
Unexpectedly, they were originally looking for Siberian tigers, but now they found a suspicious corpse on the mountain.
The most important thing is, what caused these traces on the mountain?
Could it be related to the dead man?
Many doubts emerged in the minds of the search team.
Until this matter is resolved, I'm afraid the mountain will remain blocked.
…
As the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, a few rays of the setting sun peeked out, brushing away the previous haze. The long-lost light enveloped the sky over Kyoto, making everyone feel as if they were in another world.
Citizens' travel and daily life have also returned to normal. Compared with the big commotion in the suburbs, it has not spread to the urban area yet. After all, one is in the south and the other is in the north, and there is a time limit for the message to be transmitted.
At the Empress Temple in Chaobei District, not long after Uncle Wang opened the door, some tourists were welcomed. They all heard about the supernatural events in the Empress Temple and wanted to come and pay homage.
"This is the Empress Temple that was very popular on the Internet."
"I heard that the gods inside are very spiritual. Originally this place was going to be demolished, but because of a series of supernatural incidents, even the government backed down and decided to keep it."
"Is it really so spiritual? Then I have to pay my respects and bless me to make money and fortune."
There was an endless stream of people at the entrance of the Empress Temple, and amid the smoke, even the statues inside seemed a little more extraordinary.
"ah!"
Just as the tourists were paying their respects, an exclamation came out, and there was a huge commotion among the crowd.
"Why is there a snake?"
Visitors inside the Empress Temple soon discovered that many snakes suddenly appeared in the corner, and they didn't know where they came from.
These snakes are large and small, with different patterns on their bodies. They look densely packed and terrifying. They circle together and make your scalp numb. Goosebumps appear on your body.
For creatures like snakes, most people's senses are fear and fear.
Some of the timid ones have cried.
"Call the police immediately."
"Are these snakes venomous? They're so scary."
"It's really unlucky. If you knew you would encounter something like this when you come here, no matter how magical the Empress Temple is, I won't come."
The hissing sound was endless, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Empress Temple seemed to have become a sea of snakes. The ground was covered with slender snakes with colorful patterns.
The tourists did not dare to act rashly, like frightened quails, huddled in a ball and shivering.
One snake can handle it, but what if there are dozens or even hundreds?
With so many snakes, if they were attacked in a group, the fate would be imaginable, so they did not dare to provoke them.
Fortunately, this group of snakes did not make an attack gesture, but just passed by the tourists, seeming to turn a blind eye to them.
The panicked tourists gradually regained their composure, and some brave people even discovered something strange about the snakes.
"Have you noticed that the snakes seem to be all heading in the same direction?"
Although the snakes are scary and menacing, as far as the current situation is concerned, no one was injured.
Humans and snakes seem to maintain a delicate balance, with both sides entering the water without violating the river.
After listening to the words of the people around them, the tourists looked carefully and found that this was really the case.
The snakes had no intention of attacking, they were all heading towards a release, very purposefully and organized, as if there was something there to attract their attention.
"These snakes seem to be heading towards the corner of the room. Is there something there that attracts them?"
Everyone poked their heads around, although they were a little scared in their hearts, but seeing the strange and unnatural behavior of the snakes, they inevitably became curious.
The group of snakes finally stopped at one location, which was also the place where Ye Qin had entered into the mottled years to gain enlightenment.
Now with Ye Qin's success in overcoming the tribulation, this aura has become more and more obvious. Other species cannot detect it, but snakes are attracted from all directions to pay homage to the king of snakes.
Soon everyone discovered that these snakes were standing upright, hanging in mid-air, but their heads were bent down.
Such a scene was both terrifying and made them feel a sense of awe.
Those snakes seemed to be worshiping something.
Affected by such an atmosphere, everyone did not dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing the snakes.
It is strange to say that the snakes stayed here for a while, as if they had accomplished something, and then gradually retreated and dispersed.
Just like when they arrived, there were no signs. These snakes disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where they went.
The whole process didn't last long. After the threat of the snakes was lifted, everyone felt lucky to survive the disaster, but there were still many doubts that followed.
Surrounded by so many snakes, but no one was injured, I couldn't believe it.
"I heard on the Internet that there was a supernatural incident in the Empress Temple, which was related to the snake nest. Because many snakes were dug up at the original construction site, the work had to be temporarily suspended."
"I also heard about that incident. Those snakes did not harm the workers at that time."
"Is it possible that these are not ordinary snakes, but have been instructed by the gods?"
The more everyone thought about it, the more likely they felt that it was very possible. After all, there were so many snakes, but they didn't hurt anyone. It could be said that they were full of spirituality.
Thinking of this, the previous fear of seeing the snakes dissipated a lot.
This is the case with everything. As long as it is given the meaning of a god, even if it itself makes people afraid, with this filter, people will become awe-inspiring.
The incident of encountering snakes in the Empress Temple made everyone more convinced of its miraculousness. Not only were the snakes not a deterrent to tourists, they actually made it even more popular.
Uncle Wang thought about it and decided to add a snake statue to the temple privately as a commemoration.
Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good. Many people who heard about the snake incident came over to pay homage, saying that the snake immortals had spirits. This was something he did not expect.
At the same time, as time passed, mysterious shadows appeared over the suburbs and the sounds of strange creatures began to ferment online.
"A dragon appears on the outskirts of Kyoto!"
At first, a netizen who lived in the suburbs posted a post saying that he had seen a dragon, and then posted the pictures he had taken.
It's just that the picture is a bit blurry and it's not clear. You can vaguely see a long and thin shadow among the clouds.
However, many people expressed disbelief and attacked the netizen in the comment area.
"What can you say with just one photo? This is your own photo. I can only give you 50 cents for this skill."
"Fifty cents is too much, okay? One picture at the beginning, and the rest depends on blowing."
"What age is this, and there are still people who believe that there are dragons in the world."
"I believe the blogger, my house is also nearby. I also heard the cry of strange creatures. I suspect there is a dragon crossing the tribulation!"
"Good guy, you must be the sailor he hired. Don't just make money for yourself, bring your brother and me with you."
As more and more people joined the discussion, many people said that they had seen dragon-shaped creatures with their own eyes. Combined with the thunderstorm weather conditions, they speculated that there was a dragon crossing the tribulation.
As the incident continued to develop, that night, a video was uploaded to the Internet, which immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.
Myth-filled doubts have enveloped the sky over Kyoto!
This is a video shot in a suburb that clearly records what was happening in the sky at that time.
In the video, under the dark sky, only faint outlines of the distant mountains were left, full of endless mystery, as if the ancient dusty door was slowly pushed open.
Accompanied by the roar of the unknown creature, a slender figure emerged from the sky and flew into the sky in the mist. At first glance, it really looked like a dragon!
Even across the screen, you can feel a special pressure coming towards you, which makes people feel in awe.
The location of the photographer was very close to the mountains and forests in the suburbs, so the picture was quite clear. You could see that there was indeed a slender shadow in the clouds, moving through it!
It’s more convincing than the blurry photo before!
"It's a true story. My family lives near the suburbs of Kyoto. I heard an inexplicable roar, so I went out to see what was going on. I saw an unknown creature flying into the clouds."
"It's definitely a dragon. A dragon really appeared over there in the suburbs! I was still thinking that this thunder was weird and menacing. Maybe it was this dragon that caused such a huge battle."
"My family, who knows? I really saw a dragon today!"
"I saw it too, but it was too far away to see clearly. I didn't expect it to be a dragon."
"Are you dazzled? There are no dragons in this world. Maybe the clouds are thick and you are hallucinating."
"Dragon is a legendary creature. This shadow is still a bit blurry. Maybe it's just a strange cloud formation."
Some netizens expressed disbelief and were skeptical about the matter.
Some people even claimed that this was an announcement video for a certain game!
But no matter what, the clicks on the topic "Dragon Encounter in the Suburbs of Beijing" are still popular, rising at a terrifying speed, and related topics even occupy the top spots in the hot searches!
Because so many people saw it, there are also different opinions on the Internet.
Judging from the video that was first released, there are no photos or traces of synthesis.
Shortly afterwards, various theories emerged one after another.
Some people say that these are just strange-looking clouds that give people the illusion of dragons. They may also be some kind of flying objects or caused by natural phenomena. Considering the situation at the time, it is normal to be dazzled.
Some people say that this is clearly a dragon from myths and legends. Otherwise, why would there be strange screams and strange thunder and lightning weather?
For citizens who have witnessed this creature flying in the clouds, they have no doubts about this statement, because these are all their personal experiences.
For a time, the Internet was divided into two major factions. As more and more people talked about it, the topic became more horrifying.
While online public opinion continues to ferment, at the same time, the identity of the foreign man who died in the suburbs was also discovered.
spy!
When it came to this issue, the higher authorities were naturally alerted and the 749 State Secret Service, which was in charge of such incidents, was immediately dispatched to investigate.
Unfortunately, Wang Xuehao and others had just finished their vacation, so this task fell on them.
Since the police took over first and reported it to their superiors the next morning, it was not until the next day that Wang Xuehao led Xu Tiancheng, Yao Ruotong and his party to quickly meet the search team that found the body.
Because of the seriousness of the incident, even the Forestry Bureau and special police did not dare to disturb the body. There was no damage to the crime scene, and everything was still in its original state.
"The man's name is Oliver. He is 37 years old and is from Country M. He has settled in Kyoto for ten years and has a stable and decent job. He is actually a spy for Country M. The equipment he is wearing is also the latest lightning protection equipment. The purpose of coming here is temporary. unknown."
Wang Xuehao sneered.
"After ten years of settlement, Country M has really played a big game. It's definitely not an accident that he came here. There must be other conspiracies. He transported the body back for testing, and launched a blanket search nearby. See See if there are any other clues."
Although the Forestry Bureau and the Special Police are both government departments, according to the procedures, transcripts are still required.
Wang Xuehao frowned slightly when he learned that they came to capture the tiger, but instead of finding the tiger, they found the body.
"Then when you went into the mountains to search before, did you find anything strange? For example, did you find traces of spies?"
"We were about to catch the tiger before, but it escaped. Later, it turned out that the weather was too bad and we were worried about danger, so we planned to go up the mountain when the weather improved."
Facing the mysterious State Secret Service, the search team did not dare to hide anything. They carefully recalled the process and explained the entire process in detail.
Judging from the current clues, the search team was at the foot of the mountain. However, the lightning was too dense at the time and they were worried about being affected, so they found a place to take shelter first.
It was probably around that time that Oliver slipped into the mountains.
Wang Xuehao looked at the surrounding environment. It could be said that it was terrible, as if he had experienced a war. The ground was full of potholes and all the nearby vegetation had been overturned.
Did Oliver have a dispute with someone here?
But the traces at the scene did not look like they could be made by humans. Instead, they looked like some kind of large creature, or what kind of heavy weapons were used?
All the surrounding trees were broken in half. Except for some that were struck by lightning, most of them were caused by external force. It seemed like something had hit them hard.
There are no traces of thermal weapons on it, it seems to be pure brute force.
Just as Wang Xuehao was thinking, someone in the search team suddenly made a sound.
"Actually, we encountered a strange thing when we entered the mountain for the second time."
The search team was a little hesitant because the matter was a bit mysterious, so they didn't say it out at first, and they were worried that Wang Xuehao and the others didn't believe it.
Seeing them hesitating, Wang Xuehao was a little puzzled, "What's weird?"
"When we were going up the mountain, we seemed to hear someone say something like 'the tribulation was successfully overcome', but it was a little vague and I couldn't hear it clearly, but that was definitely what it meant!"
"Overcoming the tribulation?" Wang Xuehao was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, "Did you hear correctly?"
The person in the search team shook his head, "No, everyone in the team heard it at that time, and the voice did not belong to anyone in the team."
"Then we saw the tiger nearby, and its posture was quite strange, as if it was kneeling and kowtow. Then the tiger ran away, and then we found the charred corpse."
The incident of being played by a Siberian tiger was a bit embarrassing, but the search team did not hide it. These words brought a lot of surprise to Wang Xuehao, as if he was listening to a story.
First, there were sudden mysterious words, and then he encountered the tiger he wanted to capture kneeling down. It felt a bit unrealistic no matter how you looked at it.
The people in the search team are all related to the government. Logically speaking, they will not speak nonsense. The credibility of their words is still very high.
While Wang Xuehao was thinking, Xu Tiancheng and others who were searching the scene on the other side seemed to have made some new discoveries.
"Captain, come and take a look, there seems to be something inside."
Wang Xuehao came after hearing the news and looked in the direction Xu Tiancheng pointed. He saw an unknown green object at the bottom of the pit at their feet. It was stained with a lot of mud and looked a little gray.
Wang Xuehao knelt down, picked it up carefully, and wiped off the dirt on it. The items that caught his eye were shiny, like transparent jade, and looked ingenious.
"What is this? Glass?"
"Your glass looks like this."
People from Bureau 749 gathered around and looked at the green object.
Wang Xuehao looked carefully. This thing was a little cold in his hand. It looked like a thin piece, but it was actually very solid and very hard.
"Is it some kind of device on the spy?"
"It's not impossible!"
Everyone was a little excited to get such a discovery. If it was related to spies, this would be a major breakthrough.
only……
"It doesn't feel like a man-made object, it's not plastic, it's not synthetic...it's a little weird."
In the end, Wang Xuehao took notice and gave a serious order: "No matter what it is, since it is left at the scene, it must be of great importance. Take it back to the headquarters immediately and hand it over to the scientific research office for inspection!" (End of Chapter)
