The outermost temporary garrison of Yang'an City, Bao Ming, the person in charge of Yang'an City and the direct line of the headquarters' ghost controller, rented the whole in a temporary tent set up in the garrison. Looking at the unchanged external scenery on the screen, he grabbed the hand again and again. My hair is almost bald.
Bao Ming was thinking hard about whether he had offended any gods recently. He originally thought that as a direct descendant of the headquarters, being sent to Yang'an, not far from Dajing City, would be favorable to him regardless of the time and place.
Yu Gong, this is within the jurisdiction of the Dajing City headquarters. If there is an emergency, he can call the headquarters for support at any time.
Privately speaking, as a direct descendant of the headquarters, Bao Ming has extremely generous resources and status. Everyone respects him wherever he goes. Except for some special people, Bao Ming has actually reached the pinnacle of his life.
Then, he came to Yang'an.
After that, the nightmare began.
Less than a month after taking charge of Yang'an City, the headquarters experienced successive turmoils, and then the Huangquan Road Incident broke out in Yang'an City. After Bao Ming's investigation, he felt deeply that this was not a matter that could be solved with his ability, and immediately asked the headquarters for help.
Then there is no more.
Even though the headquarters was besieged on all sides, it still sent out a support team. It wasn't until the three waves of ghost masters walked into the depths of Huangquan Road without any news and disappeared without a trace that Bao Ming realized the seriousness of the problem.
Five days after the last team left, Bao Ming waited and waited for no news. After learning from the pain, he gritted his teeth and planned to leave Yang'an.
Needless to say, how weird and terrifying the incident involving the three waves of ghost masters is. If this happens, no matter how many Bao Mings there are, they will definitely be held accountable by the headquarters if they withdraw from Yang'an. After all, as the person in charge of the city Being AWOL is a big deal.
Accountability is accountability, it is better than losing one's life.
If the benefits are gone, you can still find them again, but if your life is gone, you have nothing. Bao Ming made this distinction very clearly.
After Bao Ming made up his mind, he didn't even pack his luggage. He drove the car and planned to leave. He drove on the endless road, drove countless laps, and successfully returned to Yang'an, which he was familiar with.
Bao Ming tried many times, but when he found that he really couldn't get out, he started crying on the spot.
He didn't need to think about it, but he was still a step too late. Something happened in Yang'an, and the city was invaded by inexplicable strangeness, or a terrorist incident broke out in Yang'an, causing the entire city to be blocked by terror, and they were completely unable to get out. .
After the incident broke out, communications were blocked by a number of strange forces, which directly killed Bao Ming's idea of asking for help from the headquarters.
Affected by internal and external troubles and cut off from contact, Bao Ming feels that Yang'an City is now in a state where the sky and the sky are not responding to each other and the earth and the earth are not working.
He could only arrange for all official teams to be stationed at the intersection area on the edge of Yang'an City so that they could escape as soon as possible.
Now, it's the third day.
In the past three days, officials, including Bao Ming, tried their best to investigate, but did not get many clues.
They got themselves into a bad situation.
There is no good news or bad news. The entire Yang'an City is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. No one knows what is brewing here.
Just as he was getting agitated, he saw Yang'an City Criminal Police Captain Wang Jiangfeng rushing in angrily.
At this juncture, the other party came in without saying hello. Bao Ming was disgusted by his very senseless behavior. However, due to Wang Jiang's status, it was difficult to say anything.
The specific city criminal police captain at the headquarters is not a good person. It may not matter where he is. It is better not to offend him or not.
"Any new clues?" Bao Ming asked. This could only be regarded as an excuse. He had no expectations that the current Yang'an City officials could get any useful clues.
"No, but someone has contacted us." Wang Jiang noticed Bao Ming's unhappiness, but in this situation, he didn't have time to take care of it, so he could only keep the story short.
"Who contacted him? Is it the headquarters?" A few words gave Bao Ming a hope of survival. Now as long as the news can be revealed to the outside world, their hope of survival will be greatly increased. Is there any hope of death at the Ghost Controller Headquarters? Young man, according to Bao Ming's hearsay, the 12th captain of the headquarters has several boss-level figures who have solved S-class incidents. It's hard to say whether people of this level can solve the troubles in Yang'an City, but take them out. It should be a breeze.
"No, it's someone else." Wang Jiang responded.
"Wasn't the communication cut off? How did they contact us?" When he heard that it was not the headquarters, Bao Ming lost interest. Many people have asked the officials for help in the past few days, but it is of no use. They themselves have too much time to take care of themselves. .
"Yang'an City's communications with the outside world have been cut off, but the entire city's own communications can still be contacted. We have confirmed this before." Wang Jiang replied.
"The person who contacted us claimed that they were ghost masters from the headquarters. The person who left her contact information was named Chu, and her name was Chu Jiu. She gave us an address and asked us to pick them up."
"Chu Jiu? This name seems familiar." Bao Ming quickly ran through the people he knew well in his mind, but for a while he couldn't remember who it was.
"Did the other party leave any useful information? Can their identities be confirmed?" Bao Ming asked questions one after another. Being able to tell them that they are from the headquarters shows that these people are unusual and must be treated with caution. Bao Ming has a lot of experience in this regard. If you are worldly and conscious, you will not offend if you can.
"We checked this name and it was the last one to enter the Huangquan Road incident team. What the other party said should be true." Wang Jiangyan said.
"Fuck! It's Secretary Chu."
The ghost controllers trained by the headquarters are very sensitive to the names of Wang Xiaoming and Cao Yanhua. They also know the two people who follow Wang Xiaoming every day.
One is Li Jun, one of the twelve captains of the headquarters. A ghost controller of this level is easily out of their reach.
The other one is Chu Jiu. Because she is a woman, and because she is the personal protector of Wang Xiaoming on a daily basis, many people jokingly call her "Secretary Chu" in private. After talking so much over and over again, Bao Ming really didn't remember the other person's real name for a while.
After learning that it was Chu Jiu, Bao Ming did not dare to neglect him at all. This was a person who could reach Tianting in the headquarters. In terms of attention, he was much more valued than the person in charge of a small and medium-sized city like him. Maybe there was someone who could contact the headquarters. Method.
"Hurry, hurry, arrange a car, I will drive to pick them up myself."
Wang Jiang also moved quickly. In less than three minutes, Bao Ming drove his modified off-road vehicle straight to his destination.
Bao Ming ran all the way. Yang'an City has been banned these days. Not to mention cars, few people were seen on the road. Bao Ming drove at full speed along the way. Normally, he would have issued a ticket for driving too high.
After seeing Chu Jiu and Chu Jiu on the roadside, Bao Ming stopped the car, opened the door and ran over to greet them.
"Secretary Chu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
With that said, he led the two of them to the back seat.
At this moment, Chu Jiu looked embarrassed and haggard. The high pressure and various experiences on Huangquan Road had made her endure a lot.
After following Shen Lin out of Huangquan Road, they strangely appeared at the place where their team entered Huangquan Road.
There were six or seven people when we went in, but only two were left when we came out. The reason for this is very sad.
After leaving Huangquan Road, Chu Jiu immediately called the headquarters to report the situation, but to no avail.
After discovering that something was wrong, they also made many attempts. After discovering that the whole of Yang'an might encounter some terrorist incident, they hurriedly contacted the local officials.
Now sitting in the back seat, with a rare chance to rest, Chu Jiu scolded irritably while listening to Bao Ming's somewhat flattering chatter.
"Shut up first, what happened in Yang'an?"
Bao Ming smiled awkwardly and then answered.
"I don't know, it suddenly happened like this. We have been searching intensively for the past few days, but we haven't found anything."
"How many days? In other words, this situation has been going on for at least 48 hours, and you haven't got any news at all?" Chu Jiu's expression was not right when she heard this. She originally thought that a situation like this happened not long ago, but Unexpectedly, it has been more than 48 hours.
The large-scale events recorded in the headquarters' supernatural files all have a very similar characteristic.
The early stage of a large-scale incident has the highest survival rate for those involved.
Once this period exceeds 48 hours, it means that the terrorist incident has begun to enter a calming period, and the mortality rate during this period is as high as 90%.
The ghosts at the core of large-scale events often have growth characteristics, which also leads to the longer the period of the outbreak, the higher the horror of the event, and the more unsolvable the entire event.
Originally, she was thinking of relying on her own ability to give Fu Qing's money a try, but now that it had been more than 48 hours since the incident broke out, Chu Jiu's heart froze.
"Yes, this incident is quite strange. Even in the supernatural files at the headquarters, I have never seen such a strange incident. Since the incident broke out, there have been no large-scale deaths in Yang'an. It is even very peaceful. Calm. It’s a little scary.”
Chu Jiu's face turned completely gloomy at this moment.
Scenes of getting along with Wang Xiaoming and Professor Wang's sincere teachings kept flashing through her mind.
“The calm before the storm is often the scariest.”
"In terrorist incidents, the more abnormal the situation, the more attention it needs. This is often the beginning of a crisis, or the beginning of a bigger crisis."
A terrorist incident that could cover the entire city broke out for more than 48 hours, but nothing happened. This was so abnormal that it made Chu Jiu feel a little creepy.
Her first reaction was that this was definitely not something that she, Fu Qing, and the person in charge of Yang'an City could solve. This was beyond their capabilities.
Whether it's the ability to be a ghost or the ability to make decisions in terrorist incidents.
The nerves that had just been relaxed for a long time were tense again. Chu Jiu felt a headache. She tried to sort out her chaotic thoughts.
At this moment, Bao Ming's cell phone rang. The caller ID showed Wang Jiang, the captain of Yang'an City Criminal Police, on the other end of the phone. Bao Ming frowned and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, it's me, tell me."
In front of the two imperial envoys at the headquarters, Bao Ming suppressed his anger very well and tried to appear calm and responsible.
Wang Jiang, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't notice Bao Ming's change in status and said it bluntly.
"Captain Bao, we encountered traffic congestion at the highway intersection in the southwest of Yang'an City. The other party reported his home address and claimed to be Shen Lin, the person in charge of Daxia City and one of the twelve captains of the headquarters. Captain Shen asked you to go here immediately. ,want to see you."
Bao Ming's first reaction was false news, and his second reaction was to curse.
The direct lineage of the headquarters all know that there are several thorns in the twelfth captain of the headquarters. Yang Jian still killed all his friends under the mediation of the headquarters. Liu San did not listen to the announcement and selectively ignored many orders from the headquarters. Shen Lin has always had trouble dealing with the headquarters. Whether it was at the Dajing City headquarters before or after the epidemic ghost incident, he had conflicts with the headquarters' direct line of ghost controllers and killed many people.
The direct line of ghost controllers from the headquarters were repeatedly ordered by Professor Wang not to mess with Shen Lin. This name almost made their ears go numb.
It's not like Bao Ming never thought that the headquarters found out there was a problem in Yang'an and sent a captain to come to the rescue, but Bao Ming couldn't imagine that this person was Shen Lin.
Just as he was about to respond, he heard Chu Jiu's excited voice in the back seat.
"It's Captain Shen! Yes, I should have thought that Captain Shen is here too. Don't rush back to the camp and go to Captain Shen."
"Secretary Chu, are you really sure it's Captain Shen? He shouldn't be here." Out of caution, Bao Ming still asked.
"You don't need to know that much, you just need to know that this is indeed Captain Shen and is our best hope for survival now."
Chu Jiu was not so polite to Bao Ming. She hated the other party's flattery.
The moment she learned about Shen Lin's presence, Chu Jiu felt that the tremendous pressure on her had been swept away. The return of her backbone made her feel that her hope of survival had greatly increased, and even the whole of Yang'an might be saved.
If Chu Jiu might have had doubts five days ago, after seeing what Shen Lin did on Huangquan Road, she no longer had any doubts.
Shen Lin can come out of a desperate situation like Huangquan Road. Even if Shen Lin stands in front of her now and says that he can definitely solve my horror and revive me, Chu Jiu will probably believe it.
Chu Jiu's indifference depressed the atmosphere in the car a lot. Bao Ming laughed and drove directly towards the southwest exit without saying a word.
On the streets of Luodu, young people running wildly stopped happily when they saw the antique storytelling stalls on the street.
"We've caught up, but what part are we talking about?"
Ever since he heard the old man's storytelling story last time, he had been obsessed with it and always wanted to hear it. Unfortunately, he didn't see it even after stopping several times. Finally, he heard that this stall was open again, so he hurried over. .
"At the beginning, you were here."
The people next to me chatted with each other without caring that they didn't know each other. It was just like meeting and communicating with friends on the street.
Just as he was talking, the sound of wood on the table was clapped, and the old man in black robe could only be heard speaking.
"The last chapter mentioned that the old man in the coffin in Kyoto raised his coffin and saw the crisis from the future in his memory."
"Following the thread of fate, he diverted the coming misfortune eastward to the destined place, waiting only for the destined person to enter."
"It can only be said that once the fate is decided, there will be no wind or rain or sunshine."
