"Starting from the day before yesterday, the Northern Qi Institute of the Northern Qi Province began to report one after another, saying that the evil spirits that once ravaged the Yelu City area forty years ago were found in the Yinshan area and are now showing signs of multiplying.
They were worried that the tragedy would happen again, and after sending people to suppress it, they sent a request for help to our headquarters. Now we will discuss this matter to see how harmful it is, and whether it is necessary to send experts there..."
Zhong Gu from the Shuzhengtang presided over the meeting. The first thing he explained to everyone was the ins and outs of this matter.
“Not all of us here have been involved in the secret files from forty years ago, so let’s talk about the specific situation first.
The first point is that the original evil spirits were called shadow demons. They could live in people's shadows and prey around. After they matured, they would begin to break away from their hosts and move freely. At that time, they would begin to multiply and no longer be attached to people. And action.
There were only three shadow demons brought out at first, but within two months they multiplied to tens or millions, devouring the entire city's population, and even a thousand miles away...
This shadow demon has the following characteristics. First, it can seize people's spiritual thoughts and divide and reproduce. Second, it has a certain growth ability and can speed up reproduction. Third, it has habits similar to those of wild beasts and likes to gather in groups. They work in groups and are not afraid of fire or sword.
However, they also have a fatal weakness, that is, if they do not eat in time for several days, they will kill each other until the entire group is exhausted.
But because they can always find fresh populations at the edge of their activity range and continue to reproduce, no one noticed this at first. It was our seniors who risked their lives to go deep and finally confirm it, which made The imperial court made up its mind to formulate a strategy to strengthen the walls and clear the country, so as to annihilate it in one fell swoop..."
Everyone listened attentively, and some even took quick notes with a small pen on the spot to record the characteristics of the evil spirits.
Those are the people of Ertang who are chasing the wind and shadow. These intelligence information, which may seem inconspicuous at first glance, are largely related to their own lives and the lives of their subordinates.
As for other court officials and senior officials in the department who do not have to go on missions, they want to learn lessons from past events.
However, strange things are by no means static. The case happened forty years ago, and no one can be sure whether the source evil has obtained new puzzle pieces.
Therefore, these secret files can only be used as a reference. The specific details must be combined with actual local investigations to understand them.
Sure enough, someone soon raised a question.
"This time, it seems that what was reported by the Northern Qi Institute was not a shadow demon, but a kind of clothes demon that resembled clothes..."
"To be precise, it should be called a 'cloth demon'..."
"At first, no one connected it with the Yinshan Demon Cave case forty years ago. Later, they discovered that the various characteristics of this thing were highly consistent with that of the shadow demon, and they began to suspect that the two were actually caused by the same strange thing.
And this also proves another guess, that is, the Yinshan Demon Cave case forty years ago has not really been solved. What the court eliminated was only the escaped shadow demons themselves, and the real source is still in the demon cave. "
“In fact, people should have been sent deep into the monster cave to solve the problem, but the aliens at that time were not strong enough, and the thing was hidden in the deep mountains and forests, so it would not affect the outside world.
After the destruction of Geshan Village, the danger of that strange incident has actually been reduced to the level of anecdotal news, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it. "
"Yes, the imperial court's manpower and material resources are also limited. There was really no way..."
Everyone started talking in low voices, and a helpless reality was revealed during the discussion.
That is, the vast majority of strange incidents have not been truly resolved.
It can even be said pessimistically that as long as the mystery persists, humans will never be able to truly solve it.
It will always be nothing more than dismantling, sealing, and suppressing it...
Li Chuan is a newly promoted upstart. He stays at the end of the table, listens more and talks less, and gradually understands the whole story.
He suddenly realized that this matter was really difficult.
Because Northern Qi is a large province in the north, it is also an important place to guard the Daqian border.
If that place is lost, the soldiers and horses originally stationed there may be affected, wars and chaos will ensue, and the whole world will be in chaos.
Even if this factor is not taken into account, this weird incident itself may develop and reach the level of disaster.
That was not the level of petty fighting like the previous Fox Bride case.
Dig into the heart of the heartless people and kill the guests who are eating at the banquet...
That would be a horrific disaster that could really swallow up the entire city and the counties and counties with a radius of thousands of miles, and kill all the ordinary people.
Maybe some strangers can survive this kind of disaster, but it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Soon, the entire department was paying close attention to this matter. Even the cabinet and the Ministry of War sent secret letters to the Northern Qi Province, ordering them to investigate the truth of the incident and evaluate the level of harm as soon as possible.
At this time, Li Fan finally saw the ruling weapon that the Qian Dynasty relied on.
Those are not things like telegraphs and telephones developed by technology, nor are they the Chidao and Babaili expresses that existed in ancient times, but a set of strange and rare treasures called sound-transmitting snails.
At the cost of being deafened by hearing the sound, you can make calls across thousands of miles.
Some experts use the principle of sound resonance to transfer the paper membrane to avoid its influence, which is equivalent to using this set of rare treasures for nothing.
Therefore, the provincial capitals of the Daqian Dynasty and the Holy Capital have always been very closely connected, but to reach the states and counties, it still takes several days or even more than ten days to travel by fast horse.
However, when encountering such major and urgent events, there are corresponding strange treasures to pass on. Some cities where major strange events have occurred even have special messengers responsible for communication.
For example, the city of Yelu, which was once devoured by evil spirits, had special envoys from the headquarters stationed there.
They immediately sent back the news that the department wanted to confirm.
Unfortunately, they confirmed that the cloth demon is even more scourge than the shadow demon, because the human civilization world is inseparable from the existence of cloth and clothes, and their characteristics happen to be reproduced with cloth and clothes. , as long as a large number of quantum bodies are born, they will kill people everywhere.
The specific rules and reproduction speed are still unknown, but presumably it will not be slower than the shadow monsters that evolved several times before.
At the time of establishment, the department made a decisive decision to dispatch experts to support.
Capture Feng Zhuying Ertang mobilized their best personnel and rushed to Yelu City as soon as possible, hoping to resolve the situation before it completely got out of control.
