Tales of the Supernatural

Chapter 284: [283] The woman in the painting

Views:

The next day was the day I was officially discharged from the hospital. Fang Yaozu also came. I, Fang Yaozu, and Cui Zuofei went to the Phoenix Hotel where the police had dinner and discussed this operation.

We all ate something at first, and then Fang Yaozu said to me: "I have checked the soldier named ** you mentioned. He retired two years ago and now he has opened a noodle restaurant in the city center and is doing his own business."

"Yeah." I nodded and then asked Fang Yaozu, "Uncle Fang, what happened when Pengguang and the others went in? Tell me in detail first."

"There are five of them in total, Taoist Qingfeng, Liu Peng, Pengguang, Wu Zhicong, and Wu Zhiyuan. When they went in, they said that if they didn't come out after ten days, it would mean that something had happened to them. If you hadn't come back, I might have applied to my superiors to transfer members of the supernatural incident investigation team from other cities to rescue them." Fang Yaozu said after thinking for a while.

"It's useless. The supernatural investigation team may not be effective. We are only good at dealing with ghosts, but those ancient tombs are full of traps. We must have tomb robbers. Director Fang, do you think you can find another tomb robber?" Cui Zuofei asked Fang Yaozu with a frown.

"I don't think it's possible. The procedures are too complicated. Even if I use all my connections, it will take at least three days to get someone out. But by then it will probably be too late." Fang Yaozu said with a sigh.

"Uncle Fang, don't worry. Brother Qingfeng is also very capable. They will be fine. I mainly want to ask you something today." I looked at Fang Yaozu and asked, "What happened that day, the day I died in Thailand? There were so many people at that time, there must be witnesses."

Fang Yaozu nodded after hearing what I said: "That's right, you are a member of the supernatural event investigation team. We must find out the cause of your death. According to our investigation, after you died, a monster named Shiva appeared. Of course, the Thai side said it was their patron saint. Then Shiva fought with a Chinese monster similar to a zombie. In the end, the Chinese zombie was repelled, and Shiva seemed to be injured as well."

"That's not what I'm talking about. There should have been a girl next to me when I died. Where was she?" I asked.

"You mean that girl? She just fainted. After being escorted back to the country, she was taken away by the Miao Witch Cult." Fang Yaozu thought for a while and said.

I was relieved when I heard that Qiuxiang was taken away by the Miao Witch Cult. I was afraid that she was in danger. But now it seems that my worry is unnecessary. After all, no matter how hateful the Miao Witch Cult is, they will not attack their young leader. Now let's solve the problem of the ancient tomb first and then go find Qiuxiang.

Afterwards, we had some food and chatted about family matters, and then Cui Zuofei and I took a taxi to the noodle shop owned by my college instructor, **.

This noodle shop is called ** Noodle Shop, which is located in the central area of Chengdu. Cui Zuofei and I took a car to the door of the noodle shop and saw that it was crowded with people and business was booming. A familiar figure was busy inside. I smiled and walked in with Cui Zuofei.

"Boss, let's have some beef noodles." I yelled.

"Okay, please take a seat." ** came up to me with a smile, and was surprised to see me and said, "You, you look like the guy who came to the military training before, your name is Wu Jiu, right?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that after so many years, Instructor Wang still remembers my name." I walked up to him with a smile and gave him a bear hug. ** looks much more mature than before. When he gave us military training, he was only in his twenties, and now he is almost thirty.

"Hehe, you're the only sex wizard like me, so I have a deep impression of you. I didn't expect that the little brat has grown up so much now." As he said that, he looked me up and down, and he seemed to be very happy: "Come on, hurry up, I'll treat you to a meal today."

"Instructor Wang, I have to treat you to a meal today. I think the store will be too busy when you leave." I said with a smile as I looked at the few waiters in the store.

"Oh, it seems like you're doing pretty well. Okay, I'll let you treat me to dinner today." After saying that, ** turned around and told the waiter inside, then followed Cui Zuofei and I out.

"Okay, let's not walk too far, let's go to the hot pot restaurant next door." ** put his arm around my shoulders and walked into the hot pot restaurant next door, then booked a private room. ** was really not polite to me and ordered whatever was expensive for me.

Since it was only noon, we were not in the mood to drink and just kept eating. After about half an hour, when I was thinking about how to ask **, ** wiped his mouth and said, "You are here to ask me about the tomb robbery a few years ago, right?"

I was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"

"After all, I have been a soldier for more than eight years, and there are still some comrades in the army who are doing well. This morning, one of my comrades called me and said that I was being investigated. I thought, I haven't offended anyone, why would others investigate me? After thinking about it, the only thing is the incident in the ancient tomb. You came to me just now, and I am more sure." ** said with a smile after taking a bite of the food.

"Instructor Wang, please tell me what happened back then. To be honest, several of my friends have been down there looking for something for more than 20 days. Now we don't know whether they are dead or alive. I have to go down to rescue them. I hope you can tell me what's going on." I said to **.

"I will tell you, otherwise I can't come to eat this meal, right? But I have a condition." ** said with a smile, "What condition?"

"I want to go down with you!" said **.

"What, instructor, why do you continue to live such a comfortable life now?" I asked curiously. His life now is actually what I envy. He runs a small shop and lives a relaxed life. He doesn't have to feel like there are ghosts everywhere he goes like me.

"You don't understand. Several of us went down together, but I was the only one who came back safely. You don't understand. Another comrade broke his arm and is now a disabled person. His life is ruined. You don't understand how I feel!" ** scratched his hair and sighed, "And I still had doubts when I was down there. I have to go down and find the truth!"

"What truth?" I asked, looking at **.

"To put it simply, we encountered something evil when we went down there. The ancient tomb actually has three floors. The first floor has some secret passages and mechanisms, and the second floor is where we encountered something evil!" said **.

"The second floor? What happened?" I became curious.

"The second floor of the tomb is very large. After we entered through the secret passage, we found a room inside. The second floor turned out to be a mansion. The problem lies in a painting in that room. The woman in the painting!"
