The two chief officers of the Baihu Station who were in charge of the on-site command did not want to offend either of them, so they could only invite the two adults who were in charge of the demon case to come together and report together.
"Two adults, it is now basically confirmed that there is a secret realm hidden in this place, which is closely related to the lantern fire incident eighteen years ago.
But as far as we know, the lantern fire was only deliberately lured in during the wandering process, and there was originally no connection between the two.
At that time, the seniors of the Demon Suppressing Division used this method to seal it, and did not explore the mysterious realm too much. "
An older-looking boss who had experienced the lantern fire incident stood up. He had been handling cases in other places before and was specially recalled by the department: "It's true. We had no way to deal with the lantern fire at that time. We could only use deception first." The domain traps it.
It seems to be a coincidence that there happens to be an entrance to the new mysterious realm right here in Baihua Building, which is named Baihua Building Strange Realm..."
"Why didn't you investigate further then?"
"There is really no other way, sir. We had already killed and injured many brothers just by dealing with the lantern fire, and we did not have the power to control the treacherous realm."
Li Fan had no choice but to ask the officer in charge of the Hundred Household Office next to him: "Where was the person in charge at that time?"
"This is recorded in the file, but eighteen years ago there were hundreds of households and the general banner. Now they have either retired or died, and there are many nobles who are still in office who have forgotten things. I am afraid that I will not be able to think about it for a while. Too many details..."
This sentence is a bit euphemistic, but it actually implies that the person in charge at the time did not know anything about it, and may have used his name to gain credit.
The person who was truly responsible and informed has died, and other people whose names were left on the file may not necessarily have been informed.
For example, the current boss, Qi, was just a soldier back then, and his knowledge was really limited.
To expect them to provide information is better than not knowing anything and rushing in.
Li Fan thought for a while and decided to supervise the matter himself and conduct a careful investigation.
…
At noon, Baihua Building, the scene of the crime.
Li Chuan and others were sitting in the open space in the east corner of the courtyard. In front of them were tables and chairs brought from the building, which were put together to form a large table.
The guys from Qixianglou brought the food boxes over quickly, and placed fresh plates and utensils one after another, and soon the tables were full.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Li is inviting everyone to dinner!"
The soldiers came together happily as if celebrating the New Year, eating with their mouths dripping with joy.
"Hey! What's so great, I'll treat everyone to dinner too!"
He Yi sneered, not to be outdone, he gave some instructions to the attendants around him, and soon called for food at another restaurant, and also invited everyone from the Demon Suppression Division to enjoy it.
This is a pain for those small banners, the general banner, and even the leaders of the Hundred Household Offices.
They always felt that no matter which restaurant they accepted the invitation, they were wrong, which made them look sad. They had to pretend that they had eaten out before and hurriedly went around to inspect the place.
"So, Baihua Tower was abandoned for two full years before being rebuilt again to observe the dangers of the lantern fire?"
"Now it seems that is indeed the case."
"Maybe we should spend some time downplaying the impact so that we can find some out-of-towners who don't know what's going on to take over."
"Tsk, tsk, it's really possible."
"With such a good location, we can't just leave it abandoned, right? Every inch of land is precious."
Near the room, dozens of people were still on guard, guarding the work of the two generals who had mastered the power related to the strange realm.
They couldn't do much to help for the time being, so they had no choice but to chat while waiting for their turn to eat.
In the room, the two commander-in-chiefs had grimaces on their faces and were helplessly busy.
"Mr. Niu Qi, Mr. Ma Qi, please take a rest first. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work."
With great difficulty, a soldier finally entered with a food box and greeted him.
"Hey, just in time. I've been exhausted after working for so long."
The two general bannermen said somewhat gloomily.
"He who can do it should work harder. Now everyone is pointing at the two of you."
Xiaobing said with a smile.
As the technical backbone of mastering the power of the Strange Realm, the two commander-in-chiefs were too lazy to care about the intrigues between the nobles and their relatives and started to eat hungrily.
As a result, after eating and drinking enough, I didn't even bother to take a rest, and immediately had to get into intense work again.
There is really no way to do this, because in normal work, you can still ask everyone to help, and there are some helpers after all. But right now, they are the only ones here who have the power related to the strange realm, and other people's rash intervention will only add chaos.
The next tasks of two or three hundred households and hundreds of people are stuck here. If they can't find the ruins of the fire scene that Li Fan saw before, they can't find the deeper Baihualou treacherous domain, and they can't find it. There is no lantern fire in Baihualou's strange area.
All these factors will lead to no progress in the investigation of the case.
The so-called capable people work harder, but in the end it was they who shouldered everything.
After Li Chuan had eaten and drank, he rested for a while and walked over to check. He saw that the floor of the entire room had been pried open, especially where the big bed had been. It had been dug up to a depth of several feet. There was a wide pit, and a few long nails procured from nowhere were inserted around it, filled with strange power.
One of them was digging the soil with a shovel, stopping from time to time to sense something. The other person was holding a compass-shaped treasure and counting things from time to time.
"How come it's like looking for a dragon to dig its acupoints?"
Li Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Zhenfu, you are right. Looking for the mysterious realm is sometimes similar to searching for a dragon's acupoints!
In fact, we have already determined the location of the fire ruins you mentioned before, but that is not the real entrance, it is just a gap between illusion and reality. We have to find a more suitable location!
In addition, there is the confrontation between the mysterious realms. If you want to forcefully break a mysterious realm, it is not a simple matter to break into it. There is no way for us to easily break through the mysterious realm. We can only rely on hard work and effort. Drill in!
Don't look down on such stupid skills. Compared with those folk strangers who have no choice but to do nothing for the rest of their lives if they are not as good as the level in the mysterious realm, those of us who can get through the levels are already considered to be brilliant. I am not a royal wife either. Selling melons is really a special method.
But, it’s just a bit time-consuming and laborious…”
Niu Zongqi heard Li Fan's question, turned around and explained.
"I understand, you have to work hard for the next thing, so please work harder."
Li Ao gave a few words of admonishment, shook his head, and left the room.
He also feels a little helpless now. All the clues in the Demon Cult Monster Case point to the mysterious realm here, but the investigation is progressing slowly, so there is nothing he can do.
A few days passed, and the great protectors of the Demon Sect didn't even know if they had succeeded!
…
On the second day, Li Fan got up early for morning exercises as usual, feeling the new balance of strange power in his body after controlling the tiger arm of the Black Mountain Lord.
Suddenly, Xue An hurried over with a sergeant.
Li Fan took a look and was slightly startled when he saw that he was from the Demon Suppressing Division.
"Could it be said that it has been found?"
The result was not good news. The mysterious realm over there was still not found, but something happened in the surrounding streets.
Without saying a word, Li Fan took Xue An with him, mounted a fast horse, and rushed to Pingkangfang.
When he arrived at Baihua Building, on the opposite street, Wu Xuan, He Yi and his party also came, along with Fang Hong and Gao Feng who appeared on the other side, as well as Yu Liang, Fan Renyong, and those from the maternal relatives who were guarding inside. people.
The two groups met again in front of Baihua Tower.
