The taxis booked online were driving on the road at a leisurely pace.
The driver was very talkative and told Lingpingan about the urban legends he had heard recently.
"Sir, you don't know, there was a huge fire over there on Jianshe Road the night before yesterday!" I don't know if it's a professional habit, but in short, every driver master Lingpingan encounters is a familiar one. Once the conversation begins, it is often difficult to stop, and this time is no exception: "I heard that a fire broke out in a newly opened late-night snack bar..."
"Up to now, the relevant departments are still holding a cordon there and no one is allowed in or out!"
"Someone said..."
"There's something wrong with that late-night snack shop. The boss caused some dirty things, so that's why it's like this..."
Lingpingan listened and kept a polite smile.
Naturally, he didn't believe these urban legends.
The driver seemed to notice that he didn't believe it, so he said, "I heard some people say that there are still dirty things in that late-night snack shop!"
"I heard that there are people from the Dragon Group who will come to the site to investigate in person!"
When Lingpingan heard this, he finally couldn't help laughing: "Dragon Group! Master, you must have read too many novels!"
This was all from so many years ago!
The driver's master listened and immediately made a serious face: "Sir, the water in this world is very deep!"
"I drive all the time, and I often encounter all kinds of strange things..."
"Just last year, a friend of mine accidentally pooped something dirty and almost lost his life!"
"In the end, the people from the Dragon Group took action and saved him!"
"That scared him so much that he didn't even dare to take orders at night!"
When he said this, the driver also screamed and got scared.
Lingpingan smiled and shook his head.
When the other party saw Lingpingan's expression in the rearview mirror, he immediately became anxious and said to Lingpingan, "Young master, you don't believe me?!"
"Then let me tell you a secret!"
"The Qingshan Elementary School not far from the Federal Merited Martyrs Cemetery where you are going, sir, was sealed up by the Dragon Group a few months ago. I heard that the Dragon Group's masters later captured a dozens-of-year-old dog from that elementary school. Meter-long snake demon!"
"That's why Qingshan Elementary School has to be relocated!"
Lingpingan smiled and shook his head.
Tens of meters long
Titanoboa is not that long either!
You have to talk about some basic rules when you’re bragging!
But his demeanor made the driver furious.
Perhaps Lingpingan was the first passenger he had ever encountered who ignored his urban legend so much.
So, he said to Lingpingan: "Master, you really don't believe it?!"
"I really don't believe this..." Lingpingan smiled politely but firmly: "I am a college student and a materialist!"
The driver seemed to be stimulated by the 'materialist'.
He looked at Lingpingan and said, "If you are really brave, do you dare to go to Panjiayuan alone on the outskirts of the city tonight?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Lingpingan smiled.
When he was eleven years old, the story of his friends trying to challenge his cognition came to mind again.
His favorite thing to do is to take a walk in haunted houses and haunted houses that others say are scary.
"How dare you?" The driver was shocked!
After so many years of driving, this was the first time he saw someone who dared to talk about going to Panjiayuan.
That is a very evil place!
"Master!" Lingpingan was full of confidence: "I can go now!"
There is really no place in this world that can scare Lingpingan.
The driver was frightened and shook his head: "How dare I take you there?"
"Something happened..." He whispered, "I can't take responsibility!"
He also has a child in school at home!
Lingpingan smiled lightly: "Then I'll go by myself tonight!"
"Pan Jiayuan, right?" The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he gently stroked the kitten in his hand: "Best, can my brother take you on an adventure tonight?!"
Meow!
The kitten responded intelligently.
"Master, look, you're not even afraid of my cat!" Lingpingan said with a smile.
The driver was so choked that he couldn't speak.
No more words were spoken until they reached their destination.
"Sir!" After Lingpingan got out of the car, he suddenly remembered and warned: "Panjiayuan is a very evil place. You must not go there!"
"Thank you for your concern!" Lingpingan walked out of the car and said with a smile, "I know my own rules!"
Then he hugged his pet and walked to the Federal Empire Meritorious Personnel Cemetery.
There are two cemeteries for meritorious personnel of the Federal Empire in Jiangcheng City. This one is new, and those buried here are basically the meritorious personnel from Jiangcheng who have sacrificed their lives for the Federal Empire in the past hundred years.
Therefore, the smell of gunpowder smoke in this cemetery is much lighter.
The cemetery is filled with all kinds of flowers.
Lingpingan showed his ID at the entrance of the park and received permission to enter the park.
Carrying the flowers and wine he had prepared, he followed the staff's instructions and walked to a tomb deep in the cemetery where two people were buried together.
There are only two blurry photos on the tombstone.
This is because his parents did not like taking pictures during their lifetime, and the photos left behind are basically blurry photos, and only two young men and women can be vaguely seen.
Lingpingan sent flowers to the graves of the two elders, and then sprinkled some wine in front of their graves.
"I'm here to see you again!" He knelt down and put down the kitten Best.
The tombstone in front is engraved in block letters with the names and titles of his parents during his lifetime: Contributors to the Federation and Empire’s aid to Kunming, Grand Bachelor Ling Qingyun, and Colonel Li Shasha will live forever!
His father was a famous virologist in the Federal Empire during his lifetime, and his mother was a medical expert in the military.
The two died unfortunately while participating in a federal-imperial mission to assist Kunlun State.
But during their lifetimes, according to the official statement of the Federal Empire, the two federal heroes saved the lives of millions of people in Kunlun State! They successfully prevented the outbreak of a terrible super infectious disease!
Unfortunately, an accident occurred while they were returning. The plane crashed and they died in the line of duty.
Therefore, what is buried here is only the tomb.
At that time, Lingpingan was only ten years old, confused and difficult to understand.
When I grew up, I realized that my parents were great.
"I've been doing well recently, eating well and sleeping well..." he said naggingly, "I just often forget to visit my second brother!"
"I hope the second elder won't blame me!"
"Also, the bookstore left by the second elder has been in bad business recently..."
"You can't blame me!" He said carelessly.
…
Woo woo woo…
Police sirens came from behind.
The driver of a private online car-hailing service saw the police car catching up behind him and quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
The police car arrived shortly afterwards. A burly policeman in police uniform walked to his car and took out his police officer ID: "The federal police are handling the case. Please cooperate with the citizens!"
He hurriedly handed over his driver's license and driving license: "Officer, I didn't break the law, and I wasn't speeding either..."
The other party took his ID but didn't read it. He just asked, "What did the guests you just picked up say to you?"
The driver raised his head in surprise: "Sir, police officer... you mean..." He thought he had picked up a fugitive.
"Don't think too much, answer seriously!" The other party gave him a stern look: "I am a federal policeman. In accordance with the law, please citizen, please cooperate with the investigation and answer my questions seriously!"
"This is your obligation and your unshirkable responsibility!"
The driver finally reacted.
Federal police!
From the Imperial Capital? !
He suddenly panicked.
In the federal empire's police department, different levels have different authorities.
Local police are generally only responsible for public security and criminal cases within their jurisdiction.
Only the federal police have the authority to enforce law in all regions of the federation, and the cases they are responsible for are generally major cases.
Those pursued are also the most vicious criminals or individuals who pose a major threat to the country.
For a moment, the imaginative driver recalled the movies he had watched one by one.
"Fed", "Superman", "48 Hours on the Line".
Nouns emerged from his mind one by one.
Foreign spies, murderers...
He was so frightened that he immediately told everything he remembered.
The other party took the notebook and recorded it carefully. When the recording was completed, he handed the notebook to him: "Your Excellency, citizen, please confirm!"
The driver took it, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "That's it, that's it!"
Then he asked: "That guest of mine..."
"Don't think too much!" The other party put the notebook away: "He is a key protection target of the Federal Empire!"
"Oh..." The driver breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind suddenly shut down.
"I just recommended Panjiayuan to important figures in the Federation Empire?!"
"I won't break the law!"
The other party smiled: "Your Excellency, citizen, don't worry, you have not violated the law in this matter!"
Then he saluted the driver: "Thank you for your cooperation in the federal empire's national interest work!"
"I wish you a happy family!"
Then he turned around and walked towards the police car.
He sat in the police car, picked up a walkie-talkie in the police car, and said: "Report, the target is confirmed to enter the cemetery! Repeat, the target is confirmed to enter the cemetery!"
"In addition, according to the investigation, the target revealed his intention to go to Panjiayuan tonight..."
…
"Pan Jiayuan?!"
Situ He listened to the report on the phone and became suspicious.
"It's Nightmare Garden!" Xia Ping sighed beside him.
"Nightmare Garden?" Situ He frowned. He didn't know Panjiayuan, but he had an impression of Nightmare Garden.
This is the only special place in Jiangcheng City that is blocked for unknown reasons.
It seems to have appeared suddenly seven or eight years ago.
The local residents had continuous nightmares and finally alerted the black guards.
But when the guards in black went to investigate, they tried their best and couldn't find out the reason.
Because there is no psychic reaction at all in the local area—even the substance of psychic energy does not exist.
But residents often dream of a scary world and encounter many monsters.
In the end, there was no choice but to evacuate the local residents and then blockade the area to prohibit outsiders from entering.
However, some people just don't listen and always rush in.
Fortunately, people who break into it will only have a nightmare at most, and there will be no other harm. And as long as they don't enter again, there will be no problem.
Situ He pondered and looked at Xia Ping.
His heart was beating loudly.
Aiming to go to Panjiayuan
He wasn't worried about anything.
But the problem is...
Will there be any accidents
Block
Does he have the courage
Situ He remembered the governor's advice: "Just wait and see what happens, don't disturb!"
So, he looked at Xia Ping: "Don't alarm him yet..."
"Don't follow me either!"
"Let's just keep an eye on the cameras in the target streets and the surveillance cameras in the Panjiayuan area!"
"If there is any problem, just wait and see what happens!"
It can only be the!
Who said that the target was not something that he or anyone in Jiangcheng City could intervene or had the courage to intervene
"I will discuss it with Mr. Zhang Hui later..." Situ He thought for a while and added.
