March 26th.
Xingzhi Building.
It is located on a prosperous road in the city center, adjacent to Green City, sitting on the riverside, and looking at the rising "New Stars of the East China Sea" in the distance.
Outside the window, the sound of the endless traffic came here, no longer like the hissing of mosquitoes.
Occasionally, there are birds passing by, and the dark holes reflect the shining light behind the windows, as if the room is isolated by some invisible thing.
Katcha.
On the door, the round brass doorknob turned, and a young man with a slightly bowed head walked in.
He raised his gaze, starting from the Strelitzia reginae by the door, and passed over the coffee table, sofa, bookcase... and finally climbed to the desk made of black walnut wood, and stopped in front of the pen tip that was still writing rustlingly.
"Director."
"What's wrong? Come and find me at this time."
Director Tao continued writing on the document without raising his head.
He didn't seem to care much about the young man's arrival. In other words, there are very few things in this world that he cares about.
"..."
The young man suddenly felt at a loss what to do. He raised his head hard, his eyes wandered behind the desk, looked at the word "magnanimous" on the wall, and swallowed.
"They... can't seem to be contacted."
"who."
It wasn't a question, there wasn't even any ups and downs in his tone. Director Tao continued to write, using the usual attitude of asking questions, ready to receive boring trivial matters.
However, the next second, his calmness was broken by Youran.
"Negotiation meeting..."
"What did you say?!"
Director Tao Youran raised his head. His face, which had gone through many trials and tribulations and had already shown its age, was filled with great astonishment.
"You mean, the people at the negotiation meeting can't be contacted?!"
After receiving an affirmative answer again, Director Tao finally put down his pen.
He leaned his whole body on the office chair, folded his hands, and looked at the young man with a critical attitude.
"Tell me what happened."
"yes……"
Small beads of sweat began to appear on the young man's forehead: "As you instructed before, we will contact them every half month...
"But now, half a month has passed, and no one has responded to the messages sent out... Not only that, we have also tried to find the entrance to their inner world."
The director put his chin on his hands: "So, have you found it?"
"No."
The young man had some difficulty controlling his facial expressions: "We have expanded our search scope as much as possible, but no matter what, we haven't found even a trace."
After finishing speaking, the young man lowered his head, like a prisoner waiting for the judge to pronounce his sentence.
However, there was no sound coming from the other party's desk. He raised his eyes slightly and saw the director who was as silent as a statue.
"Is it because my wings are stiff... I'm trying to get rid of that person's control and leave on my own? It's a bit naive..."
He heard the Director's whisper as if he was talking in his sleep, and lowered his head: "Actually, Director, during the search, we made other discoveries."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"At a crossing in the city, a sudden burst of yin energy appeared like a blowout. We wanted to find the cause, but we couldn't find any clues."
"Yin Qi? How much is it?" Director Tao narrowed his eyes.
"From the incomplete report when it first appeared, the intersection and even the streets seemed to be wrapped in invisible fog. It took several days before it began to slowly dissipate."
"It's just that to this day, the dark clouds in the sky still linger, which has a considerable impact on regional signal transmission."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
More than ten years of bizarre experiences have made Director Tao deeply aware of the only thing that can be trusted in abnormal events - "cause and effect."
Everything has its cause and effect, and what kind of cause will bring what kind of effect. As long as we can cut through the complicated information network and truly find and clarify this kind of causal line, many problems will be easily solved.
So what is the cause and effect of this incident now?
First of all, we need to know that the source of yin energy is mostly a special kind of energy that escapes from the spiritual body. When this energy reaches a certain amount, it is enough to affect people's senses, causing instinctive body reactions such as chills and hairiness.
Where is the source of these yin energy? It was so huge that it even formed a haze that lasted for many days. Director Tao would never believe it without the participation of hundreds of spirits.
"Hey, is it the record room? Well, it's me... I want to ask, how are the recent special events in the East China Sea? Are there any spiritual entities related? Hmm... OK... OK..."
Director Tao put down the landline phone.
Recently, everything has been normal, and no records related to spiritual bodies have been reported.
However, all this is normal, but the disappearance of the negotiation group is the biggest abnormality.
Such a huge amount of Yin Qi is rising... Now theoretically speaking, there is actually an answer.
Perhaps, it is also the only answer.
These yin energy are...
"..."
Director Tao once again raised the landline phone in front of him, and suddenly it stopped, like a dead wood, with an expressionless face.
"sharp……"
The next second, incredible words came out of his mouth.
"sharp!"
"Descartes, you are the most unpredictable part of the East China Sea..."
He recalled that night, when he went to the scene in person and wanted to stop the combat team's pursuit of the incident, but he happened to meet Descartes.
This guy is very mysterious. Even if you follow the surveillance all the way to search, you will end up with nothing but an empty dead end.
However, this is fine.
If the moth is removed by other people's hands, there is no need for you to be worried anymore.
only……
Director Tao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the busy intersection below with deep eyes.
"In order to get these, I followed the devil until today. Is it really... worth it?"
"……snort."
Director Tao Youran turned around and ordered: "Report it, it is suspected that the negotiation meeting was completely destroyed in the East China Sea. I need to conduct a new risk assessment."
"'I hope that during the investigation in April, the General Administration will send a team of sufficient authority to conduct a relevant verification of the East China Sea and the negotiation meeting, as well as a thorough safety inspection.'"
Finally, he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
"I don't want to... passively accept your conspiracies anymore. Even if all dirty things are exposed in broad daylight."
"Then Descartes..."
"What role are you playing now?"
…
At this moment, "Descartes" is playing his role.
A hardworking gardener.
"Look, Xiaodi, my fire Dujuan has blossomed!"
[Botanist] Gao Yi didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. When he saw a cluster of azaleas in full bloom on his lawn, he was overjoyed.
"Haha, what a coincidence, the salt and pepper broad beans I planted have also bloomed."
Xiao Di, wearing a gardener's outfit, poked his head out from the clumps of broad bean fields and waved to Gao Yi at the other end of the courtyard.
"Ta Ma, did you steal my chlorophyll?!"
"Nothing."
"Fuck you, you think I'm blind, I didn't even have a bone a few minutes ago!"
"Because they develop well!"
