"The fifth one!"
In the police station of Xihai Prefecture, a policeman slammed his fist on the table, sad and angry: "Two months, five people have disappeared, all of them are unknown, and there is no clue! Our police force is insufficient. , the higher-ups have not sent reinforcements for a long time, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, didn't the director make a report? You also know that going through the procedure is too troublesome and takes time." The colleague on the opposite side comforted.
"Time! Time! We can afford to wait, can those victims afford to wait?"
The policeman got even angrier and slapped the table and yelled. At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and a subordinate came in and said, "Captain Zhao, we found some clues."
"Bring it in!" He stood up abruptly.
"It's like this. We first asked Wu Yang's relatives and friends, and learned about the model and color of her bicycle. Then we checked all the surveillance cameras on the road around the lake, and found this again."
His subordinates handed over a few color pictures, and Team Zhao saw that it was the rear of a jeep.
The trunk seemed to contain a large item, but it was not closed tightly, revealing a gap. And from the gap, a yellow wheel-like thing can be vaguely seen.
"..."
Team Zhao frowned and thought, "Are you sure it's this car?"
"This bicycle is a limited edition, the number is rare, and the logo is the yellow wheel. I also checked the license plate number of the jeep, which belongs to a trading company in the city. I think I should check it." The subordinate said.
"Okay, let's act now!"
He was also very decisive, saying hello: "Old Tong, let's go first."
"Hey, be careful."
The colleague waved his hand, and when they went out, his face suddenly changed, he picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Director, someone has passed."
…
"Didi!"
The electronic door opened with a clang, and a police car drove into the factory compound. This place belongs to the development zone, the location is remote, and there are few people. The car drove for two minutes before stopping in front of a building.
Then, three people came down, it was Team Zhao and two of his men.
A female staff member ran out and said in a panic, "Comrade police, you are..."
"We're here to ask some questions, don't be afraid."
Team Zhao looked around and asked, "Who is in charge here?"
"We, our manager is inside, this way please."
As she said that, she led the three of them in, instead of going up, she turned a corner and went down.
"Your office is underground?" A policeman was very surprised.
"Oh, we have moved to the basement floor for our upstairs renovation," the woman explained.
Team Zhao listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a buzzing sound coming from above, so he followed to the negative floor without thinking too much.
Below is a wide hall with a retro style, with stone pillars on all sides and a dome in the middle carved with weird patterns. A few people walked through a corridor, the roof became lower and lower, the woman's high heels tapped to the ground, it seemed that the light was a little dim.
Soon, when they came to a gate, the woman said, "Inside is the office area, and the manager's office is the second from the left."
"OK, thanks."
"You're welcome... hee hee!"
The woman opened the door and watched them go in. The previous panic suddenly disappeared, and she showed a strange smile inexplicably.
"boom!"
The moment the door closed, Team Zhao felt something was wrong, pulled out his pistol, and pushed the door open at the same time.
"Grass!"
He pushed hard twice, and the outside was locked.
The three of them were startled and angry, and smashed on the door with all their strength, but unfortunately they did not loosen at all. I had no choice but to hold the gun in my hand and move forward little by little.
There is still a corridor inside, with stone walls on both sides. After passing through the corridor, the style of painting changes suddenly, revealing a huge cave.
Half natural and half artificial, the stone caves are connected with each other, forming a series of passages. There are snow-white lamps embedded on the wall, reflecting a gloomy and cold scene.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Dui pursed his lips and opened the way, with two guards guarding the left and right, their nerves stretched to the extreme.
There seemed to be no one in the cave, and I found nothing after walking for a while. Finally, near the end, a deep and dark hole suddenly appeared, and rustling sounds came from inside.
"Huchi... Huchi..."
It was a strange sound, like some animal panting, a very heavy panting.
"Who's in there? Come out!"
Dui Zhao raised his gun and shouted: "We are the police, I give you three seconds, or we will shoot you! 1, 2..."
"Roar!"
Before I finished counting, I heard a roar that looked like a human being but not a human, a beast that was not a beast.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a flash of black shadow, and before he even had time to feel the pain, he realized that he was flying very high, but when he looked down, there was a headless corpse stuck there.
"Boom!"
His head fell to the ground, and he rolled away far away with a grunt, his eyes were wide open, with great horror and disbelief.
"Snapped!"
"Crack!"
The two subordinates reacted quickly, and they raised their guns and shot without caring about the grief of the captain's death.
All of a sudden, the bullets flew randomly, the gravel splashed, and a few bullets just hit, and blue blood flowed out from the thing's body.
It howled in pain, rushed over like crazy, and tore them to pieces with a few blows.
In just five seconds, all three were wiped out!
"when!"
Just as the two fresh corpses fell to the ground, there was another bell-like knock from the depths of the cave. The monster froze, its ferocious face restrained, and it stopped moving.
Until now, it showed its true appearance: slender, muscular, bluish-gray skin, facial features intact, and still maintained a beautiful appearance of a young woman, but its face was covered with black tattoos.
The most amazing thing is the eyes. It seems that there is still a sliver of sanity, and they are desperately fighting against the power of some kind of demon, so that they appear painful and terrifying.
"It's not in vain that I have used so many divine liquids, and my aptitude is really good."
At this time, a few more people came out of the cave, and the bald head was the leader. Holding the small chime made of a whole bone plate, he knocked again.
"when!"
The monster gritted its teeth, but walked up to him irresistibly, and stood up obediently. The bald head became more and more satisfied, and raised its chin to look and look, as if admiring a perfect work of art.
"Including this ghost man, as well as the cultivation of different sects, there are exactly twelve. Now we just need to enter the mountain and find the altar, then we can control that thing and restore the glory of my ancestors!"
The bald head rubbed the ghost man's face, his pupils were blood red, and there was an undisguised madness.
"Master, the Huozhou vision is still there, we should not enter the mountain rashly before we reach the innate state!" Another person advised.
"Um?"
The bald head glanced at him, and said with displeasure: "The archmage has already completed the ancestral secret technique, which can be used on the body to resist the erosion of the vision. Or are you timid and want to retreat?"
The man was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I'm just worried that I won't be able to find the altar, and it will waste my energy."
"Hmph! Now the government is making frequent moves, and our time is running out. Even if we turn the Flame Mountain over, we still have to find that place!"
…
"Steamed stuffed skin, steamed stuffed skin!"
"Kungu Momo, just out of the oven!"
"Sweet fermented grains, five yuan a piece!"
The snack street in Xiping, the shops are adjacent to each other, and people come and go. Most of the people are outsiders, and locals never come here to eat. This is the legendary "every city has a street that fools outsiders."
Holding the steamed bun in one hand and the sweet grains in the other, Long Qiu looked here and there, enjoying the stroll.
This child is so pitiful, so pitiful that he would be happy even riding the train. There is no way, what kind of spare time can a girl who has been wearing a bellyband before coming out of the mountain expect to have
Gu Yu followed behind, also holding a piece of stuffed rice, with a smile in his eyes and between his brows.
According to the original plan, after they arrived in Xiping, they should transfer directly to Xihai. Xihai is an autonomous prefecture in Qingning Province, bordering Huozhou.
But, seeing Long Qiu's novelty and excitement, he couldn't bear it, so he temporarily changed his mind and stayed in Xiping for two days.
"Brother, shall we go there for dinner?"
While walking around, Xiao Qiu suddenly pointed to a shop and suggested. Of course he had no objection, and followed in with a wobble.
Don't care at all, let the girl order by herself. Phoenix Mountain is divided into 20 million every year. She has a lot of pocket money, but she is not lavish, so she hugged the menu and said, "This, this, and this, okay."
"Why don't you have some mutton and beef? There is also our local hot pot, which is a local specialty and the price is not expensive."
"No, we don't eat much meat."
"Then please wait a moment, it will be fine in a while."
The waiter saw her cute, and her attitude was also very good. After a while, the food came to the table, a piece of dry skin, a piece of tsampa, a piece of jelly, and a plate of pancakes.
Gu Yu tasted two mouthfuls of each, and only took a piece of pancake and began to gnaw. He praised: "This noodle is well mixed, and the oil is also good. It should be clear oil. And it is baked with a layer of pancake and coated with a layer of oil, otherwise it won't come out." This smell. Hey, what is this called?"
"The dog pissed."
"What?"
"The dog is pissing, it's written on the menu." Long Qiu said, biting the dog's skin.
"..."
Gu Yu silently put down his chopsticks, and picked a jelly at random, but he was also uninterested, and suddenly sighed: "Xiaoqiu, stay away from Xiaojin in the future, I will learn badly."
"How did I fail?" She blinked her eyes.
"Did you learn to order this?"
"What's wrong with this, it's just that the name doesn't sound good, but the taste is good."
"Then why don't you eat?"
"I don't like pancakes."
"..."
Gu Yu was too lazy to talk about it, and his heart ached for himself, what a child, after half a year with Little Soap, it became like this? If you keep messing around, you have to! Peel off the skin, it's all black inside!
But Long Qiu looked at him, suddenly put down his chopsticks, covered his mouth with a tissue, his shoulders trembled slightly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Okay, stop laughing."
"Hey, I said why are you so happy?"
Gu Yute's egg hurts, and the girl doesn't care about anything, just keeps having fun there.
After a long time, she raised her head, her white and tender face seemed to be covered with a layer of carmine, and said: "I'm just very happy, um, I'm just very happy."
