As evening approaches, candlelight rises inexplicably along the tree-lined paths in Yang'an City.
Candlelights that look like tomb candlesticks are scattered along the tree-lined path. Compared with modern lights, the illumination level of the candlelight is too low. Except for the center of the candlesticks, which are set every ten meters, the farther out they spread, the darker they become.
In such an environment, from time to time something would pass by the candlelight and enter the darkness again. The areas barely illuminated by candlelight were mysterious and profound in such a dark night.
It's like an abyss, and it seems like something might come out of it the next second.
Such a strange environment made Yang'an City's official garrison position at the back again. Bao Ming's other abilities were not outstanding, except for his self-knowledge, which was full of skill points. After realizing that this strange area code-named "Huangquan Road" was When things got worse late at night, he retreated without hesitation.
At this moment, he was frowning.
The ghost control team dispatched by the government has not moved for more than ten hours. The official tried to use drones to explore the direction they were walking in, and also used satellites. The conclusion was that nothing was found.
Bao Ming bravely tried to peek at the edge of the road in the direction where Huangquan Road extended, but he didn't see anything, or he saw everything, except no one.
The end of this road is no different from a tree-lined path. If you look around, you can see endless winding paths. But as soon as you step on it, after walking for a short time, you will lose sight of people and you can't find them with any machine. Yeah, it's extremely weird.
The candlelight on Huangquan Road in the middle of the night danced in the candlesticks, just like Bao Ming's impatience and fear at this moment. He did not dare to go forward to explore easily. Walking to the edge of the road was already the limit. The official team of ghost controllers were all There was no trace of the missing person, so of course it was impossible for him to go up there by himself, not even in this life.
Under the complicated and expectant eyes of the criminal police captain Wang Jiang, Bao Ming could only sigh. The matter had come to this point and he could only notify the headquarters again, even if his achievements would be negatively evaluated or withdrawn by the headquarters. There is nothing support can do.
Living is better than anything else.
"Contact the headquarters. It doesn't matter if you describe the situation more seriously. This is no longer a problem that we can intervene in."
——
"Anything else?"
In the headquarters ward, after Wang Xiaoming, who was rarely chatty, finished explaining part of the content, he saw that Su Jiu had not left, and his eyes were puzzled.
"Professor." Su Jiu couldn't bear it. Wang Xiaoming's current physical condition is actually not suitable for dealing with so many complicated problems, especially those involving terrorist incidents. However, there is really no one available at the headquarters in this regard at this stage.
There is no one available in such a huge headquarters. This completely opposite and ridiculous situation actually appears here, which makes people helpless.
"The ghost painting incident resulted in frequent riots and a tendency to get out of control. Li Jun, under the instruction of Minister Cao, led a team to solve the incident. It has been about a week since the incident, and no news has been received. He has disappeared."
Su Jiu said it tactfully. He knew very well that Li Jun was most likely dead. A day missing in the S-class ghost painting incident could be considered dead. A week missing, there was no hope.
Strictly speaking, Li Jun's death is not a problem. The biggest problem is the out-of-control ghost painting incident. Due to the existence of the two S-class incidents of ghost painting and ghost painting, Dajing City is equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife all the time. This The future of the city completely depends on the "face" of these two ghosts.
But the current "face" of the ghost painting is not very good, and it will lose control again. Its loss of control means that the evil ghost codenamed Gui Cha will also lose its checks and balances, and Dajing City will fall into despair.
Wang Xiaoming was silent, his cloudy eyes flashed too much, and in the end he could only shake his head.
"Broadcast the news that the ghost paintings are out of control in the headquarters in the name of soliciting executable plans. The rest... depends on fate."
The only trump card of the headquarters has not changed. He can only let the news out. Whether he is willing to take action or not is up to the old man.
Wang Xiaoming has always been unwilling to force Mr. Qin like this, but now he is about to die. At this stage, he must help the headquarters overcome this difficulty. He can only hold Mr. Qin on the edge of the cliff in this way. The rest depends on Qin. Will Lao know how to dance?
"Okay, professor." Su Jiu nodded and continued.
"The recovery incident in Yang'an City is abnormal. The local person in charge, Bao Ming, once again requested assistance from the headquarters. The situation they described is quite serious. We judge that it may be an incident above danger level A, which is extremely risky and may require the twelve With the help of a captain, Minister Cao hopes that you will come forward, after all, most of them will be more likely to listen to you."
Wang Xiaoming turned his head and glanced at Su Jiu. There was complexity hidden under Gu Jing's unwavering expression.
To this day, they still want to solve the problem by themselves, what if they die? If he waits for the day he dies, will Captain Twelve lose control? Or is it mostly out of control?
An organization that relies on one person is destined to fail in the end.
Wang Xiaoming shook his head.
"I will not do this. Tell Minister Cao that I will die sooner or later. If I am the only one in the entire headquarters who can do these things, then what they are thinking about now should not be to drain my residual value, but to find ways to solve my problem." Those questions after death.”
"You should learn how to get along with them and rely on orders. In this increasingly desperate era, the headquarters will not have any hope."
Su Jiu was stunned for a moment and could only nod.
"Got it, Professor."
——
Another sleepless night.
In the early morning, when Shen Lin walked out of the room, it was obvious that his complexion was not good.
The mental problems of ghost controllers all come from this. Half of them come from terrorist incidents and the high pressure of dying soon, and half of them come from the constant threats that make them nervous and unable to breathe.
No one can keep their nerves tense all the time. No one can do it. It would be strange if there is no mental problem in the long run.
When he went downstairs, he found Li Geng already sitting in the living room. The tea on the table was no longer hot. It didn't look like he had just arrived.
"What happened?"
Li Geng belongs to the type who never goes to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. He is very careful in getting along with Shen Lin. He will not wander around like a drop-in just because of Shen Lin's kindness. Since it appears here, there is probably something wrong with it. thing.
Li Geng politely stood up, said hello, and spoke.
"Team Shen, you gave us the results of the liquid test. There is essentially no difference between the two. Whether it is in terms of water quality components, microorganisms or various conditions, there is not much difference between the two. Our analysts judged that the two Some of the liquid should come from the same water source.”
With that said, Li Geng took out a document bag from the briefcase beside him and handed it to Shen Lin.
The contents of the documents were mostly professional data research reports. Shen Lin could only understand part of them, and the final conclusion was highlighted with a red pen.
Under the premise of excluding the influence of unknown forces, according to GB/5755-2011 "Natural Water Standard", the sample No. A31582462 and the sample No. B552555654 are consistent with the law of natural derivation and are judged to be from the same water source area.
Shen Lin took the inspection report and remained silent. The result was expected. He had made similar speculations before, and this report was just the last step to finalize the conclusion.
Now it is absolutely certain that the thing that came out of the golden coffin in the safe house is the same thing that invaded his room in Mingyue Community and planted three pillars of incense.
The good news is that he finally caught the tail of this thing. The unknown is the real terror. Shen Lin is at least beginning to uncover part of the truth now.
The bad news is that he hasn't gotten any more information so far. After the other party disappeared, he didn't even have a clue where to look.
Li Geng and the others had searched Daxia City's surveillance network a long time ago and found no trace of the other party's departure. It cannot be ruled out that the terrifying supernatural power affected the surveillance. According to the characteristics of this thing before, it did not leave and remained the same. The possibility of watching him somewhere around you is very high.
Shen Lin was not discouraged. Everything was difficult at the beginning. From having no clue to now finding some clues, it was the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. He was very patient and waited patiently for the next time this thing showed its fox tail.
"What's this?"
Seeing another document under the document, Shen Lin glanced at it and asked.
