"Three academy disciples? Which three?" Lu Jing was startled when he heard this, and then asked quickly.
"Except for one Huizhou Guan family disciple, the identities of the remaining two have not been confirmed yet." The man in Tsing Yi said, paused and continued, "Besides, there are four supervisors and an academy disciple trapped. "
"So many people?" Even Lu Jing was shocked this time, "Why are there so many people in Huizhou?"
“This time, four groups of people originally went to Huizhou, but they went to handle different cases. One group of people solved their own case first, and then went to another group of people to help.
"But I didn't expect the matter to be unexpectedly difficult, so the other two groups also put aside what they were doing to deal with the strange thing together. In addition to them, there were five supervisors in Huizhou, one of whom went home to get married, and the other four were His good friend was invited to have a wedding banquet together.
"After receiving the news, the five of them rushed to help overnight. As a result, two died and three disappeared. The supervisor who got married also... failed to survive." The man in Tsing Yi said this with a sad tone.
"What's so deadly?"
"It's not clear yet." Tsing Yi said, "We have collected intelligence that there are children missing in Huizhou, most of them are children of refugees. At the beginning, it didn't cause much alarm to us. The world is difficult... From time to time, people suffer from hunger. The refugees who could not live there exchanged their children for food.
"But then more and more children were lost, and the department found something was wrong. Not only outside the city, but also in the city, there were children missing, so we sent out Hyacinth. According to the news Hyacinth brought back, there was a monster with an insect body and a human face. Things cause trouble.”
"Is that monster good at fighting?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"It's not a particularly good fight. Inspector Shao killed the monster with a flying sword the same day after arriving in Huizhou." The man in Tsing Yi said, "However, after the monster died, Inspector Shao followed the tunnel dug by it and found a cave. .
"Not long after Inspector Shao entered the cave, he asked a messenger to deliver a message, asking the academy disciple waiting outside the cave to send a request for help."
"It happened that another group of people arrived at this time. They learned their lesson. The two of them entered the cave together and soon found the body of the previous supervisor. Then the news came out, but there was no news after that."
"The people coming from behind didn't dare to enter the hole easily again until Supervisor Zhou and his friends arrived."
"Inspector Zhou is the one..."
"Yes," the man in green nodded, "He returned to his hometown to marry a wife, and the wedding date is today. In addition, he is also a disciple of Senior Ye and is very good at controlling beasts."
"Is Senior Ye Senior Ye Gongmei?"
Lu Jing didn't expect to meet a senior brother.
"Yes, Supervisor Zhou sent rats to explore the cave. They could not find the body of Supervisor Shao or the missing Supervisor You, but they found the academy disciple who was partnered with Supervisor You. He is still alive, but his leg is broken. It seems that the situation is very bad.
"Inspector Zhou put the rats on alert while going into the hole to rescue people. There were ten of them, but not the last one came out."
After hearing this, Lu Jing planned to go to Huizhou.
On the one hand, it was to confirm that Wen Xiaochuan, Yan Jun, Liang Tao and others were safe. On the other hand, Guo Shouhuai happened to be there, so he could explain the matter about Long to Guo Shouhuai in person.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing didn't waste any more time. The man in Qingyi asked for the location of the cave and the nearest [well], and then set off.
Except that after Si Tianjian was stationed in Huizhou, he ignored the eyes of the people around him and directly used Qinggong. It only took him less than half an hour to get out of the cave.
But at this time, a strong man with a big beard just walked out of the cave, holding a paper lantern with a glowing green light in one hand, and holding an academy disciple who had his eyes closed and fell into a coma with the other hand. It turned out to be the young monk Zhaoming. .
"Where are the others?" Guo Shouhuai, who was waiting outside the cave, asked.
After the bearded man came out of the cave, he blew out the lantern in his hand, shook his head and said.
"It's hopeless. One is parasitized, three are poisoned, and their minds are already insane. There are at least six strange things in this cave. Counting the bug before, there are seven strange things, and two of them threaten us. In the top grade.
"I have never seen so many strange things gathered together before... No wonder the people who went in before were all tricked. They probably didn't expect that there would be so many opponents this time."
Guo Shouhuai's eyes moved slightly, "Have you figured out the reason?"
"I know what you are thinking, but that person probably didn't do it." The bearded man said, "The weird things in this cave don't look like they were man-made, they look more like they were gathered together naturally."
"That bug would steal children and eat them alive. The children they eat would be in pain before they died, so it's not surprising that their obsession would turn into strange things."
"The conditions for obsession to turn into monsters are actually very harsh," an older man in the crowd said. "There have been some very powerful monsters that caused large-scale deaths in the past, even tens of thousands of people died at one time. , but those victims did not become monsters."
"Could it be related to the changes in the secret power between heaven and earth?" Someone else speculated.
"Although the spells used by the monsters and the spells performed by us practitioners are both collectively called spells, they are completely different in nature. The spells used by the monsters are quite confusing and have no clear rules, and there is no secret power fluctuation when casting the spells. ." Someone soon retorted, "This is something that has been verified by countless predecessors."
"But the academy does have statistics. Over the past thousand years, whenever the concentration of secret power increases, the traces of strange objects will also decrease, and vice versa, just like now."
"…………"
Guo Shouhuai was noncommittal and just said to the supervisors, "Let's find a way to clean up this cave first, then collect the corpses inside and bury them properly. If the corpses cannot be found, make a tomb."
After a pause, he added, "Also, remember to inform Supervisor Zhou and the families of other victims..."
After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Lu Jing and said, "You came just in time. Yan Yun and Wen Xiaochuan are not among the dead. Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Lu Jing looked embarrassed when he heard this.
He originally thought there were a lot of people here and wanted to conceal his purpose, but he didn't expect Guo Shouhuai to see through it at a glance.
But now it's good, so many supervisors and Si Tianjian's colleagues present know that he came all the way here for Yan Jun and Wen Xiaochuan.
Reconnect with what happened in the No. 1 Scholar Building before.
His reputation as a passionate seed seemed inevitable.
Lu Jing had no choice but to follow Guo Shouhuai dejectedly into the woods nearby.
Guo Shouhuai did not get into the topic immediately. After walking for a while, he suddenly said, "What do you think?"
"Ah... Yan Yun and Wen Xiaochuan are both pretty good."
Lu Jing felt guilty as a thief.
Guo Shouhuai glanced at him and said, "I want to ask you what you think about the increasing number of strange things recently."
