Chi Xiaoduo was ashamed, and after staggering to his feet, the first thing he did was to run to the thirteenth floor, open the door, and Chen Lang drank coffee inside as if nothing had happened.
Chen Lang: "?"
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chen Lang: [What's wrong with you.]
Chi Xiaoduo waved his hands, he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Chen Lang: [Is there an earthquake just now, your coffee was spilled, where is the coffee? I'll make you a cup. ] Chi Xiaoduo: [This building is earthquake-resistant to level eight, don't worry.]
Zhou Maoguo turned the hourglass and muttered a few mantras.
When the hourglass reversed, countless scenes began to rewind. The piano, tables and chairs flew into the organization department floor, fitting together, and the golden beads outside the window flew towards Lin Yurou's hands.
The flames coalesced, rolled into a shock wave shape, and rushed into the elevator in an instant. The fragments and residues were combined into a missile, which flew backwards out of the window, followed by the broken glass, which flew up with the missile and landed on it. The original place was put together, and the crack disappeared with a bang. The conference table reversed under the invisible force and returned to its original position.
Numerous warheads were shot backwards on the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth floors, and the collapsed floor-to-ceiling glass walls rose and fitted together, and the overturned tables and chairs returned to their places.
However, the helicopter was not seen flying backwards, and Cao Bin was not seen jumping back to where he should be. All the bullets, including the two missiles, passed through the space and disappeared like water ripples.
"Stop." Lafayette said.
Zhou Maoguo twirled his fingers, and the small hourglass swung horizontally, and the last few grains of sand stayed at the neck of the leak.
"The Pot of Time's power is limited." Zhou Maoguo said in a deep voice, "The other party is carrying a magic weapon to break the time restriction. Obviously, it has been prepared for a long time. Lafayette, your judgment is wrong."
Lin Yurou took a deep breath, a little unsteady, and pressed the table with one hand. Zhou Maoguo raised his head, looked out of the French window, and tilted the hourglass at a small angle. At the leaky neck, a grain of sand rolled down extremely slowly, and the scene outside the window was also played back slowly at one-tenth of the speed.
The space lines rippled, and a hazy reflection appeared on the other side of the transmission channel, like an extremely clean sky and rolling snow-capped mountains. After the sand leaked out, the water lines and the scene disappeared, Zhou Maoguo narrowed his eyes.
There was chaos outside, Chen Zhen pushed open the door and saw Chi Xiaoduo covered in ashes, and Chen Lang was patting Chi Xiaoduo's ashes.
"Do me a favor." Chen Zhen said, "Come on, free up the desk."
Chi Xiaoduo hurriedly got up, and a group of people came in. Da Ke hugged Cao Bin, who was covered in blood, and put him on Chen Zhen's desk.
Chi Xiaoduo looked surprised, and Chen Lang also came over. Outside the office, Zhou Maoguo entered quickly, while Lafayette was waiting for someone at the door.
Chen Zhen said, "Kadao, you go to deal with the aftermath."
"I can't watch either?" Koda asked.
Chen Zhen waved his hand and said to the people outside: "Leaders, I offended you."
Chen Zhen closed the office door, and Chi Xiaoduo heard Zhou Maoguo give orders before closing the door.
"Gegentorule, you mobilize all the personnel of the Field Service Department to clean up all the aftermath of what happened today, and prepare high-strength Lihun pollen, including in the exam..."
Cao Bin was lying on the desk, twitching uncontrollably.
"He he he..." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Didn't he run away?"
Chen Zhen replied: "The assassination attempt on Mr. Zhou failed, and it was Jing Hao who escaped from prison. When Cao Bin interrogated him, Jing Hao somehow changed his form, so it became Jing Hao who took Cao Bin back to prison... "
No wonder, Chi Xiaoduo assisted Chen Zhen by cutting Cao Bin's shirt with scissors, while Chen Lang wiped Cao Bin's body with a rag.
"What method did you use?" Chi Xiaoduo asked again.
"Now we have to find out..." Chen Zhen replied: "How did Jing Hao do it? Please, Xiao Duo, use Longtong here."
Chi Xiaoduo covered his right eye, concentrating, and Chen Lang imitated him to watch, but Chen Zhen made a gesture to tell him not to imitate. Chi Xiaoduo saw a cloud of black mist stuck under Cao Zhen's throat.
Chen Lang took the tablet and wrote: [There are three, I only found one.]Chen Lang pressed Cao Bin's left abdomen with his hand, indicating that there was another one there.
Chi Xiaoduo: "I found another one, on the stomach."
Chi Xiaoduo marked the location, Chen Zhen opened the bag, and shook out the surgical scissors.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chen Zhen gestured to Chen Lang, telling him not to look, go out and wait for a while, but Chen Lang stubbornly insisted on staying.
"Take out those three balls of black air." Chen Zhen said to Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo: "I, I, I... I don't know how to do surgery! Brother!"
Chen Zhen: "Do it, death is mine."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo tremblingly cut the skin under Cao Bin's ribs. Chen Zhen couldn't wait any longer, took the scissors, made a cut, and said, "Quick!"
There was blood all over the desk. Chi Xiaoduo closed his eyes, trembling uncontrollably, reached in and pulled out a black bug that was running around. Chen Zhen took out the bottle, put the bug in quickly, and closed the lid.
"Will he die?" Chi Xiaoduo was about to cry.
"No." Chen Zhen said while stitching Cao Bin: "The next place, hurry up!"
Chi Xiaoduo grabbed all three black worms, and Chen Lang looked at the three worms suspiciously.
Chen Zhen sewed up Cao Bin's three wounds, motioned Chi Xiaoduo to wash his hands, ignored Cao Bin, turned around and went out, and happened to meet Da Keda who was holding a Lihun pollen bottle.
"Is the aftermath over?"
"There are two younger ones in your office." Da Keda said, "Lafayette didn't say anything in particular. Mr. Zhou asked you to ask."
"There are too many doubts." Chen Zhen replied, "You don't need to let them hear it."
Koda nodded, sniffed the pollen bottle himself, and sneezed.
Da Keda: "Oh! Director Chen? How did you do in the exam? Strange, didn't you just finish the exam? Why did you come to the thirteenth floor? What happened? Did you smell Lihun pollen?"
Chen Zhen:"… "
Chen Zhen put his hand on his forehead and said, "It's okay, you heard something you shouldn't have heard."
Koda looked puzzled and wanted to go to the office.
"Is Xiaoduo in there?"
"Don't go in!" Chen Zhen said outside, "Unless you want to smell it again."
Reachable: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"Wait downstairs." Chen Zhen said, "Today's activities will continue as usual."
Koda had to leave.
Chen Zhen pushed open the door of the meeting room next door. Inside were Lafayette and Zhou Maoguo. Lafayette obviously had a headache.
"The aftermath is over." Chen Zhen replied, "Now there are three of us left as insiders. My brother and Chi Xiaoduo are in the office next door."
Zhou Maoguo was wearing a suit and leather shoes, stepping on another chair, playing back the surveillance video in the building, and Chen Zhen stood aside to watch.
The video shows an interrogation room. Cao Bin, with a cigarette in his mouth, slapped the prisoner, dragged him up, and dragged him outside. The staff of the Ministry of Supervision waiting outside came over immediately and twisted another prisoner's arm.
The prisoner suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Cao Bin. The two rolled down the stairs, and the personnel of the Supervision Department immediately chased them down.
The cameras on the two floors simultaneously showed replays of the closed prison floors, one was rolled down from the upper floor, and the other was rolled down from the upper floor.
"At this point in time, Jing Hao replaced Cao Bin." Zhou Maoguo turned around and said to Lafayette.
Lafayette took the remote control, slowed down the speed, and within a few seconds of rolling down the stairs, the bodies of Cao Bin and the prisoner changed in the video frame by frame. Cao Bin became a prisoner, and the prisoner became a prisoner. Became Cao Bin.
Immediately afterwards, the inspectors chased the two of them, and an electric whip rolled the prisoner, sending him flying in the air. The "prisoner" twitched in the air and passed out.
"Cao Bin" stepped forward quickly, grabbed the "prisoner" by the head, and hit the wall three times.
"From this moment on, it's already Jing Hao." Lafayette said, "But it's unreasonable, Chen Zhen, what do you think?"
Chen Zhen didn't answer, Zhou Maoguo remembered and said, "You three don't need to smell Lihun pollen."
"I always think it's inappropriate to interrogate Jing Hao." Chen Zhen replied.
"I want to listen to your deduction." Lafayette said coldly, "I don't want you to ask anyone's responsibility."
"Yan Fei is in prison." Chen Zhen thought for a while, and replied: "Help Jing Hao escape from prison. The Heavenly Demon has been waiting for this day, lurking outside, ready to meet Jing Hao at any time. This move has been arranged long ago." of."
"No one knows that Cao Bin will be interrogated today." Lafayette replied in a cold tone: "Unless you leaked the news."
Chen Zhen took out three bottles from his arms and put them on the table.
Zhou Maoguo took it, looked at it for a while, and shook his head.
"Is this what made Cao Bin and Jing Hao switch identities?" Lafayette narrowed his eyes and looked at the three bottles.
Chen Zhen nodded and said, "Follow-up investigation is needed to confirm."
"Assuming this is a Gu, the Gu mother is hidden in Jing Hao's body." Zhou Maoguo said: "The undercover sent by the Blood Demon fed Cao Bin the Gu after Yan Fei was imprisoned..."
Lafayette said: "Why do undercover agents think that Cao Bin will definitely interrogate Jing Hao?"
"Make some details about Jing Hao in Yan Fei's memory." Zhou Maoguo said: "Yan Fei has a lot of memories about Jing Hao. In the training class, they used to be classmates. Yan Fei is responsible for the process."
"This undercover agent is very clear. Once Yan Fei is driven crazy, and all the memories are highlighted, pointing to Jing Hao in the key cell next door, then the organization will definitely suspect that this incident is related to Jing Hao, so Cao Bin became suspicious and did not give up. Jing Hao was interrogated, his identity was changed, and Jing Hao escaped from prison smoothly."
"Then this undercover agent lurking in the organization must be able to do at least three things." Lafayette said indifferently: "First: Know the exact time when Cao Bin interrogated Jing Hao, so that he can send a helicopter to respond. Second: Interrogated Yan Fei, and a chance to change his memory. Third: the right to pass the interrogation procedures of Cao Bin."
"Those who meet these three prerequisites at the same time." Lafayette said: "Besides me, there is only you, Maoguo. So who of us is a spy?"
Zhou Maoguo did not speak, but with a playful smile, he was playing with a copper coin in his hand.
Chen Zhen hesitated to speak, Zhou Maoguo slightly raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to speak.
"There is one more person." Chen Zhen said: "Satisfy the first and second conditions. In fact, the third condition is not necessary, because as long as he knows when Cao Bin will interrogate Jing Hao, he can respond accordingly and notify the outside Accept, take Jing Hao away."
"Who?" There was no joy or anger on Lafayette's face.
"Yan Fei himself." Chen Zhen replied: "Yan Fei has already laid this kind of Gu on Cao Bin, and prepared a follow-up plan. Maybe the ghost case goes well, and Yan Fei's next step is to release Jing Hao. But his The plan was disrupted by Xiang Cheng, and he was eventually sent to the cell."
"So he sacrificed himself, turned himself into a lunatic, and caused the memory about Jing Hao to surface, and then handed over the unfinished task to Jing Hao."
Lafayette let out a long sigh, rubbed his left eye wearily with his fingers, and said, "How do you explain the fact that the foreign aid came at exactly that time?"
Chen Zhen pointed to the three Gu worms on the table.
"Although this is unconfirmed, I suspect that Yan Fei may have sent some news to the outside world through them, just like placing a transmitter on Cao Bin. When he met Jing Hao and was inspired by Gu Mu , will pull the rest of the Gu worms—assuming someone who helped Jing Hao escape from prison also had this kind of Gu worms on him."
"In this way, the clue is broken again." Lafayette said: "I still can't accept it, based on my understanding of Yan Fei..."
Several people were silent for a long time, and Lafayette sighed slowly again.
"It's not broken." Chen Zhen said seriously: "At the very least, we got a crucial clue."
"The ghost case is by no means a simple theft." Zhou Maoguo got up and said: "It can be confirmed at present that the ghost case is related to the demon, and finally responded, and took away Jing Hao's foreign aid, which came from the 'Holy Land'. All plans Interlocking, the Heavenly Demon influenced Yan Fei, and decided to abandon Yan Fei after the ghost case was over, or Yan Fei realized that the plan had failed and decided to sacrifice himself, so as not to expose some secrets of the 'Holy Land'."
"So Yan Fei replaced Jing Hao, and now Jing Hao has escaped."
Zhou Maoguo got up, let out a long breath, and said: "The general's memory is completely clear. The current escape of Jing Hao is limited to a few of us. But to be honest, I don't really believe that the demon sent only one Yan Fei."
"The clues are very clear." Chen Zhen spread out a stack of documents on the table, and explained: "Twelve years ago, the Heavenly Demon started its first plan, and Yan Fei was corrupted by the Heavenly Demon during his participation in the operation to capture the Holy Land." , fall."
"The Holy Land fell and moved." Chen Zhen said again: "The exact location of the Holy Land is not yet clear. No matter how many spies there are in the association, the whereabouts of the Holy Land must be found first."
Zhou Maoguo nodded and opened the door. Chen Zhen followed closely and bowed slightly to Lafayette. Lafayette was still thinking and fell silent.
"I don't think it's her."
Chen Zhen followed behind Zhou Maoguo. Zhou Maoguo raised his eyebrows, turned around and said, "Not necessarily, everyone has a possibility. You can't trust anyone, including me. If you find that I am also affected by the blood demon body, you'd better kill it as soon as possible." I."
Zhou Maoguo glanced at Chen Zhen, the elevator door opened, and Zhou Maoguo entered.
Chen Zhen was exhausted, and he let out a long breath when he came in. Chen Lang and Chi Xiaoduo were wiping the blood left on the table after Cao Bin's operation.
"What should I do?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"What should I do?" Chen Zhen came back to his senses, remembered, and said, "Go, hurry up, I'll just wait for you two."
"Huh?" Chi Xiaoduo was puzzled.
Chen Zhen gestured to Chen Lang, and the two followed Chen Zhen out. When entering the elevator, Chi Xiaoduo asked, "Is Cao Bin okay?"
"He has the technique of regeneration." Chen Zhenzhen absently pressed the next floor, and replied: "It will heal soon, don't worry about him, don't mention this matter again, unless Xiang Cheng asks, no one should say anything about it." .”
Chi Xiaoduo nodded.
"Wait, wait—" Koda flew over, blocked the elevator door, smiled at them, and reached out to pat Chen Lang's head vigorously.
"Where are you going now?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Practice." Koda replied, "It's an autumn outing, yeah—"
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo asked with his eyes, is that matter ignored? Chen Zhen hummed, telling him not to worry.
Da Da: "You didn't see Xiao Lang waiting to play, waiting until his eyes turned green, right?"
Chen Lang: "?"
Chi Xiaoduo and Chen really thought that their eyes were green.
As the sun was setting, a bus stopped at the gate of the Drive Committee. Chi Xiaoduo led Chen Lang into the bus and asked, "Where are you going to practice?"
"Aershan." Chen Zhen replied, "Inner Mongolia."
Chi Xiaoduo's clothes and trousers were not packed, but Chen Zhen came up with a bag. Obviously, he had helped Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang pack their things, and the people in the car greeted Chen Zhen and the two supervisors. The staff distributed plastic bags, wrote names, and packed mobile phones.
"Come here." Da Ke patted the place beside him and said to Chi Xiaoduo.
Chen Lang clings to Chi Xiaoduo, but Chi Xiaoduo is taken away by Keda. Chen Zhen smiles and lets his younger brother sit by the window. Chi Xiaoduo says, "How many days are we going?"
Kodak: "Hush."
Wang Lei got into the car and said, "Are all the comrades who are assisting you here?"
Everyone raised their hands. Chen Zhen stood up and counted the number of people. After confirming, the bus closed and drove away. Wang Lei took off the microphone in front of the car and said, "Hi everyone."
"Hello, Teacher Wang—" everyone said in unison.
"In a few hours, we will change vehicles and rush to our destination." Wang Lei said, "In the morning of the day after tomorrow, all of you here will need to take the exorcist practice exam. Everyone pay attention, cough!"
"There are still a small number of exorcists in the car." Wang Lei said: "But we will drive them away soon. Before that, let them spy on the information."
Everyone laughed, and Wang Lei said solemnly: "On the day of the practice, you will become hostages, waiting for the rescue of the exorcist who took the exam."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"The hostages are in a fixed group. When you arrive at the destination tomorrow, you will be divided into groups..."
At the same time, a group of exorcists including Xiang Cheng packed their luggage and waited outside the examination room. The staff took the list and started roll call.
The person whose name was called walked out and got on the bus as if they were being pardoned.
"What is this? Lucky charm?" Qi Wei asked.
Xiang Cheng didn't answer.
"Lieutenant Qi."
Qi Wei wanted to wait with Xiang Cheng for a while, but he couldn't stay here, so he got into the car.
Xiang Cheng stood silently, holding Chi Xiaoduo's cheering note in his hand, and fiddled with it over and over again. The note was already soaked in sweat and wrinkled. The shadow, the end is reflected on the red brick wall. The setting sun was like blood, sinking into the reinforced concrete forest, and the dark clouds rolled over from the sky, as if a sentence had been delayed for many years. Standing at the boundary between light and darkness, he instinctively wants to step back, sit in the shadow under the wall, smoke a cigarette, and let the world forget and stay in the darkness forever.
He held Chi Xiaoduo's note in his hand, as if it was a pass to get on the bus, as if he could walk to the bus and get on the bus as long as he wanted.
[come on! (Love) Fudo Myoko! You can do it!]
The voices of the people around him faded away in an instant, and the reinforced concrete city turned into rolling mountains and unfathomable dense forests. The figure of his father led him across the river, speaking to him in the golden and red waves of the river. Teach him to be a man, teach him to be upright, tell him that the meridian of heaven and the meridian of earth meet, this world full of vitality is the world that their father and son guard together...
Behind him, a finger lightly touched Xiang Cheng's shoulder.
"Xiang Daxian?" said a soft voice.
Xiang Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at the girl with a wary look. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and her pale face was facing him.
"Fang Yilan?" Xiang Cheng frowned.
"I think they are calling you." Fang Yilan replied, "If I heard correctly."
"Xiang Cheng!" The staff member held the list and shouted, "Is Xiang Cheng there?!"
Xiang Cheng took a deep breath, a little at a loss, and walked to the desk, the staff said: "Register the admission ticket number."
Xiang Cheng asked: "I passed the answer card?"
The staff didn't answer, Xiang Cheng glanced at the car, Qi Wei opened the window, whistled at him, and everyone in the car looked at him.
Xiang Cheng carried his bag and quickly got into the car.
After a while, Zhou Wanyuan came over with a blank expression on her face and said, "Xiang Daxian, step aside."
Xiang Cheng lay in the last row, with his long legs resting on his seat, staring at Zhou Wanyuan.
"My old lady just passed!" Zhou Wanyuan said angrily, "Is there any problem? What are you thinking? Have the guts to say it!"
Fang Yilan was the last to get on the bus, Qi Wei smiled and sat down with Xiang Cheng, making room for Zhou Wanyuan and Fang Yilan.
After reporting the list of staff members, they shouted: "Everyone can check their scores online next Monday. Those who don't get their names will be disbanded on the spot!"
The bus leaves.
