At the intersection of Yang'an City Expressway, Shen Lin appeared again in a sense of illusion that was like the overlap between old-fashioned photos and the real world.
While waiting, out of caution, Shen Lin began to investigate from many aspects.
The results are subtle and terrible because there are no results at all.
As initially explored, even under the coverage of the six-layer ghost domain, the highway is still a highway, Yang'an is still Yang'an, Shen Lin did not notice anything wrong, and the peace here is no different from that of a normal city. , but something happened to him.
It's ridiculous that a city that should be normal emotionally and rationally has something wrong.
If you think about it with a little more extreme thinking, if there isn't something wrong with this city, then there is something wrong with your own head.
Due to various evidence collection and verification considerations, Shen Lin chose the former.
Parking the car on the side of the road and standing on the edge of the highway intersection to enjoy the wind, Shen Lin looked at this unfamiliar city with somewhat distracted eyes, but his heart was blank.
The unknown after high pressure makes it difficult to think too much.
Including depression, fear, and confusion.
Perhaps because he had just walked through the edge of life and death, facing the situation that he had just emerged from the wolf's den and was like a tiger's den, Shen Lin was still numb.
There were too many troubles on his body, and he was so tired that he couldn't even suppress his thoughts. He just wanted to enjoy a moment of comfort during this short waiting time.
The surrounding official personnel were performing their duties, and no one dared to disturb them. After Shen Lin showed his official ID and contacted the person in charge of Yang'an City by name, they asked the captain Wang Jiang to verify some matters.
In the end, benevolence was rewarded. The identity of the person in front of them was most likely true, and he was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Under the superposition of various buffs, no one dared to interfere too much with Shen Lin in this situation. They could only watch his various actions and look at each other in confusion, letting it go.
Bao Ming's driving speed was not slow, it could even be said to be fast, especially after Chu Jiu learned that the person waiting on the other end of the phone was Shen Lin, one of the famous twelve captains of the headquarters, Bao Ming had stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, I even wanted to modify this car with two nitrogen propellers. Damn, I used to think this car was pretty fast, but now I don't like it.
How come you have a good car, but why can’t it fly? If you can fly and go faster, can I still make Captain Shen wait?
The speeding car, even though Bao Ming's driving skills were very good, when he arrived at his destination, the untrained Fu Qing squatted on the ground and started vomiting as soon as he got out of the car.
Bao Ming couldn't care less about Fu Qing's minor problem now. He trotted all the way after getting off the car, wishing his parents had lost two legs.
At this time, you need to distinguish priorities. Who is standing in front of you?
Standing in front of you is!
A ceiling-level ghost controller at the headquarters, one of the twelve captains, and the person in charge of Daxia City. He has the experience of independently solving S-class terrorist incidents. The boss who dares to challenge the headquarters head-on is Shen Lin. He really dares to kill people.
Shen Lin is really right in front of you! In comparison, Secretary Chu and the minion who came from the headquarters at this time were completely insignificant.
"Team Shen, Team Shen, sometimes we miss you from afar, sometimes you miss us from afar."
Bao Ming started shouting when he was ten meters away from Xiao, interpreting his humility to the core.
Just kidding, if you offend the headquarters, you may have to go through a process to see if you will die. But judging from past experience, if you offend this person, you may go to see the King of Hell on the spot, and no one will speak to you.
Shen Lin frowned and turned around. Engaging in this kind of bureaucracy at a critical moment is like jumping into Shen Lin's minefield. Many ghost controllers at the headquarters know that Shen Lin has always pursued high efficiency and execution, and formalism is quite important to him. Disgusted.
So, Bao Ming nodded and bowed, and his enthusiastically extended hands froze in place, because Shen Lin opposite him directly ignored him and had no intention of paying attention to his flattery, and just asked lightly.
"Bring me the relevant information about the incident first, and you can describe it to me with the key points."
Shen Lin asked for a lot of information from the officials at the expressway entrance. The main clue was that the terrorist incident that had enveloped Yang'an City had been going on for more than two days. They were stationed here to block passing vehicles according to the orders from above, and it was also convenient for them at any time. Evacuate, if you ask more questions, you won’t know.
Shen Lin didn't expect to ask more questions from an ordinary official. The resurgence of terror involves many things. As grassroots workers, they didn't know what was reasonable.
The weirdness of this incident made Shen Lin vaguely uneasy. He had an inexplicable sense of crisis for no reason, but it was difficult to describe.
He now urgently needs to get more information from the person in charge of Yang'an City.
For example, the cause of the outbreak, the process of the outbreak, the manifestations, and what has happened so far.
Bao Ming's hand that he was about to take back froze again.
material? What information? No one told him about this.
The other party's embarrassment explained the problem very well, and Shen Lin's relatively relaxed tone suddenly turned serious.
"What's your surname?"
"Excuse me, my surname is Bao." Bao Ming didn't notice that his voice was trembling. Lucky Man, who has never really faced terror, you can't expect such a person to have the courage to face life and death.
"Captain Shen, it's because of me." Bao Ming hurriedly explained, but was directly interrupted by Shen Lin.
"Mr. Bao, as the general person in charge of Yang'an City, can you guess the main reason why the captain of a headquarters asked you to come to the scene after knowing that the incident occurred?"
Shen Lin turned around, his gaze like a sword piercing into the depths of Bao Ming's soul.
Bao Ming's hands were shaking violently, and his voice was shaking even more.
"Understand, understand the situation."
"You're not stupid, so why do you have so many unnecessary things and nonsense? If you haven't done it, just do it. I don't need any unnecessary explanations. Now, I just want the results." Shen Lin's voice became deeper and deeper. It sank so much that it almost crushed Bao Ming.
"I know, Captain Shen, I'll go right away, go right away." Bao Ming hurriedly ran away and got into the nearest camp.
Shen Lin squinted at Bao Ming's actions. The initial contact allowed him to straightforwardly analyze the essence of this person's character.
Flattery, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, in short, is of no use.
There is probably no use relying on this Bao Ming. Shen Lin never puts his hope in fools. He looked at the staff aside and asked again.
"Who is the official person in charge of your Yang'an City government?"
"The report is from the General Office of Wang Jiangwang. The General Office was previously responsible for coordinating matters to appease the people in the city center. I heard that you were coming and has rushed here. Please forgive me, Captain Shen." The official who responded was also well-rounded. Facing Shen Lin, who was obviously much older than Bao Ming, he responded neither humble nor arrogantly, without being a villain, which made Shen Lin look at him a few more times.
"What's your name?" Shen Lin looked at the young man who answered.
"Report, Zhao Dongge, Zhao Qian Sun Li's Zhao, Dongge Grand Scholar's Dongge." The young man replied loudly.
Shen Lin looked at him again and didn't reply.
There are still smart people in Yang'an City, otherwise Yang'an City would probably be in chaos just based on Bao Ming's abilities.
The reason why Yang'an City is still in order after such a big thing happened is that the criminal police captain named Wang Jiang is still somewhat capable.
This gave Shen Lin a certain degree of comfort. If the two people in charge of dealing with special events in Yang'an were like Bao Ming, then he might as well find a safe house as soon as possible.
After the response stopped, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Chu Jiu and Fu Qing had time to say hello.
"Captain Shen."
Shen Lin raised his head and glanced at them, his eyes flashing, and speculation about Huangquan Road suddenly came to his mind.
"Where are you now that you've emerged from this incident?"
"The southeastern area of Yang'an City is where we first entered the incident." Chu Jiu responded.
Shen Lin frowned. The beginning of Huangquan Road was not as simple as he thought. The cases of Shen Lin himself and Chu Jiu and others were enough to illustrate a problem. The exit of this road was most likely not fixed at a certain location. During the Republic of China, for The stability of Huangquan Road is considered to be fully prepared.
The unprovoked outbreak of terror in Yang'an City forced Shen Lin to associate with Huangquan Road. During his time on Huangquan Road, he had guessed that there was a limit to Huangquan Road. When the evil ghosts absorbed here reached a limit, the terror that could break out at any time would become a time bomb.
Shen Lin now only hopes that everything in Yang'an City has nothing to do with Huangquan Road. Otherwise, based on what he observed inside Huangquan Road, there is no room for struggle between him and the people around him in his current state.
There were too few clues and too much room for association. Shen Lin could not draw any conclusion for a while.
The sudden hot wind around turned cool, and a gust of autumn wind blew up, making people shiver.
Not long after, there was another roar of a car engine.
After the vehicle with official license plates stopped, a man in a suit and ties got out of the vehicle.
He has a square appearance, a smile on his face, and an approachable aura all over his body, but the depth in his eyes makes it difficult to detect his thoughts.
Shen Lin noticed that the other party's clothes were wrinkled, as if they had not been taken care of for a while, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He could not hide the exhaustion he tried to hide under his expression.
It seems that the situation in Yang'an has caused the general manager to work very hard recently, and he probably hasn't even changed his clothes for a long time.
"Team Shen, Wang Jiang, the official person in charge of Yang'an City, is reporting to you."
Stopping and standing at attention, a standard official salute without much politeness made Shen Lin's expression soften a lot.
This is a smart man. Different from Chen Zuo's elite temperament and Li Geng's capable temperament, this is a man who is practical and smooth.
Shen Lin finally understood why Yang'an could live a stable life with a city leader like Bao Ming. It seemed that the tolerant nature of Wang Jiang's General Office had held up the city's lower limit very well.
With Wang Jiang here, if something happens to this city because of Bao Ming's unreliability, it may not be so good, but it won't be that bad either.
"To make a long story short, what did you find?" Shen Lin asked directly. There was no point in being polite at this time.
When he reached Wang Jian's position, he was able to cope with the misbehavior of a giant baby-level leader like Bao Ming, and his ability to observe words and emotions had already reached a certain level.
Wang Jiang profiled Shen Lin's character deep in his heart at a glance.
Elite, capable, full of ideas, not easily influenced by others, and a practical person.
He took out the prepared folder from the briefcase beside him and handed it over. While Shen Lin was flipping through it, Wang Jiang spoke at the same time.
"Captain Shen, the situation is very strange. The incident broke out very suddenly. We first discovered it 67 hours ago. The reason for the discovery was that our entire official team found that they could not get out of the city during the evacuation. Only then did we know that the entire city had been destroyed. Isolated by an inexplicable force.”
This information was pitiful, and it illustrated the extent of Yang'an City's distress. Shen Lin looked through it carefully and found that the file was as detailed as possible based on the existing information. Wang Jiang's team worked on it based on the existing clues. A lot of speculation.
For example, the outbreak of the Huangquan Road incident or the coming of unknown events are just speculations without many clues.
"What happens after that? What actions and new discoveries have you made in 67 hours?"
"Mr. Bao took action, but the result was meaningless. Our existing supernatural power cannot affect the terror that envelopes Yang'an City. I organized more than a dozen people to come from various areas of Yang'an City, including major highways and mountain roads. Breakouts have been carried out in the countryside, including helicopters and cliffs, without success."
"All breakout operations will return to Yang'an due to an inexplicable turning point. Everyone's description is the same. There are no problems with our planned route, their actions, including navigation, etc., but they just can't get out."
Shen Lin nodded. These situations were exactly the same as what he had encountered. At present, we can only speculate that the ghost realm covering Yang'an may be of a very high level, or the ghosts have special abilities. Even the sixth-level ghost realm does not sense too many supernatural phenomena and relies on ordinary methods. With no way out, they must find another way.
"What happens next?" Shen Lin asked. He was eager to know more clues so that he could find a reason to leave.
But seeing Wang Jiang's face gradually becoming silent and dull, Shen Lin's face couldn't help but darken.
"There is no future." Wang Jiang said slowly.
"In the 67 hours since we discovered that Yang'an was in an inexplicable situation, the entire Yang'an City has not been able to get out, and there has been no strange situation. Even several previous terrorist incidents that we are still investigating have fallen into inexplicable silence. , Yang’an is now safer than ever before.”
Yang'an, where the terrorist incident broke out, is an unprecedentedly safe Yang'an.
This situation that is beyond common sense is enough to make people's hair stand on end.
Shen Lin thought about too many possibilities at this moment. He even doubted whether the current situation in Yang'an City would be an incident similar to the ghost watch in Dongchuan City.
One of the products of the "Stake Project" during the Republic of China, it is a terrifying art of using ghosts to make ghosts.
Shen Lin couldn't be sure. The current situation in Yang'an was too weird. Even if the night watch ghosts in Dongchuan City kept vigil in Dongchuan, it would inevitably affect ordinary people. The lack of people in Dongchuan City's shopping malls was proof.
The entire city of Yang'an City was trapped, and all the terrorist incidents were silenced, but other things inside were not hindered in any way, which was incredible.
