"Shi Yu, did Master Tong say that some kind of image is missing from these materials?"

Gu Jun searched through the box, but couldn't find any description information about the stone statue.

"Master Tong said that what you want to find but can't find is what he thinks is not suitable for you to see for the time being. Those may be more terrifying to you than nightmare sickness."

Wu Shiyu sat on the sofa and said without moving.

"Actually, did you guys bring the complete information?" Gu Jun looked at her, he was far from connected, but he guessed it, and said seriously: "Please contact Master Tong for me immediately, I want to see that stone sculpture! There will be no real gains if you don’t look at the key things.”

"Xianjun, I knew you would be like this." Wu Shiyu tilted his head and spread his hands, "You are a dead-headed person, and Master Tong has to try it before he is willing."

She got up slowly and walked outside, "Then you stop for a while. But I know you won't stop, just let it happen."

"Xian Yu, you're right." Gu Jun continued to immerse himself in browsing through these materials.

At the time, the Bureau of Astronomy was wondering what archaeologist Liu Daze meant when he said "I know where they are buried".

Those martyrs symbolize missing children? Both share the same fate? Missing children are also sacrificed by paganism to the same stone statue they worship

When all kinds of interpretations were rampant, Master Tong found a strange photo among the items found in Liu Daze's house.

At this time, Gu Jun looked at this old and yellowed photo, and his mind began to be in a trance...

In the photo, Liu Daze is standing in a forest, his face is blurred, and the gloomy tree shadows around him are messy and distorted, forming some strange shapes.

At that time, Tong Ye keenly recognized this mountain forest, thinking that it was Xionglin Mountain in the northwest of Guangting City.

The Fire Phoenix team's walk into the mountainous Xionglin Mountain is another beginning.

What really happened in Xionglin Mountain is still a mystery.

In particular, the file said that in the last s-value test before entering the mountain, Master Tong's mental condition was evaluated as "too much stress and needs to rest." Master Tong believed that the stone sculpture affected his spirit. Many people in the team also had this situation. Dr. Shen Xuan Shen, who was the leader of the team's psychologist at the time, reported the team's abnormal anxiety. But it didn't attract much attention at the time. After all, the pressure and anxiety of the mobile task force are common.

"Huh." Gu Jun frowned and opened another box, which contained the reports of 62 Fire Phoenix players.

The other 43 team members all died in that mountain-entry operation, and some of them were autopsy reports.

In order not to be influenced by his own subjectivity, Gu Jun randomly picked out a report and looked at it, and then another, gradually pieced together the situation at that time.

Because the conditions back then were still backward and the environment in Xionglin Mountain was complicated, shortly after the Fire Phoenix team entered the mountain, the communication was cut off.

When they went deeper into the mountains, something worse happened.

"Dense fog suddenly appeared." Fire team member Zhang He said in his report, "This kind of mountain forest has been foggy since it was said to be foggy, so we didn't pay attention at first, but soon the visibility was less than 100%. Mi, we couldn't see where the others were, but heard some strange noises..."

Regarding the description of the voice, everyone's explanations are different. Dr. Shen's report said: "It's auditory hallucinations, and what each of us hears is different."

Shrouded in that mist, they found themselves lost one after another, the intercom equipment also failed, and there were blurred tree shadows everywhere.

"Suddenly there was a bang, and I heard the first gunshot." Researcher Zhu Zhanrong said, the report records that when she spoke, her body was still shaking slightly, suppressing obvious fear, "then bang bang bang, guns everywhere voices, and screams that I can't tell who it is..."

There was chaos at the time, with gunshots and "black shadows" looming in the mist.

They all saw the shadow, but their descriptions of the shape of the shadow were different.

Some team members said it was a human figure, some said it was a huge shadow, some said it was a tree branch, a beast...

"That's a spell." Master Tong said in his report, "I don't think it's a shadow with real existence, but our spirit has been confused."

At that time, there were still three team members who did not get separated from Mr. Tong. Dr. Shen was one of them, along with Zhang Zhijian, the fireman, and Fang Jianrong, the investigator.

The three people said the same thing, the most important point is that Lord Tong didn't shoot, and he wasn't in those positions.

Later, the results of bullet trace identification showed that 19 of the 43 team members who were shot and died were killed by Tongye's rifle.

"No wonder..." Gu Jun suddenly understood why Master Tong was not believed back then.

The files show that this is indeed an important reason why the Tianji Bureau put a question mark on Master Tong's remarks.

The most reasonable inference at the time was that Lord Tong had a mental breakdown in the mist due to the low s value, which led to this tragedy. But this cannot explain those testimonies, there is the possibility of collusion by four people, but it is impossible for a gun to shoot and kill people in multiple places far apart at almost the same time.

Therefore, the final decision of the Arbitration Department was that the evidence was not sufficient, and the judgment was temporarily shelved, but Master Tong was forced to retire.

And at that time in Xionglin Mountain, it was a watershed moment when Master Tong and Dr. Shen got lost. Dr. Shen said: "We all suffered a definite mental attack. It was a sudden explosion. The mind was very clear one second, and it seemed that everything was confused the next second."

When the three of them came back to their senses, Lord Tong had disappeared. Their job is to stay in place and defend against a tree until the fog recedes before they can start a series of cleaning up the mess.

And in Master Tong's report...

"I heard a calling, and walked over in a daze. It was completely out of my control." Tong Ye described it that way back then, and Gu Jun now understands what it feels like, "I don't know where I am, look In the fog ahead, there was a group of men in black, wearing masks, about a dozen of them, and they were looking at me."

"There was an old Taoist inside. He didn't seem to be wearing a mask, but his appearance was obscured by the smoke. I said he was a Taoist because I had a feeling... that old man was not an ordinary person, but possessed extraordinary power..."

Gu Jun calmed down, looking at these memoirs of Master Tong's words, he could feel the bewilderment and a trace of fear inside.

"The old Taoist told me that they have been waiting for my arrival."
