The vegetation in the rainforest is lush, not to mention mosquitoes, maybe you can step on a snake nest with one foot.
Of course, it's a little bit safer on the perimeter.
Tang Xi put on a long-sleeved coat, and seeing that Pei Qingzhi was doing the same thing, it was obvious that he had been prepared.
"Here." Pei Qingzhi handed her a bottle of spray.
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, took it and sprayed it on her body several times. Immediately, a cool and pungent smell permeated, making her sneezed uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, but this mosquito repellent is very effective, and it's specially prepared because I'm going to southern Xinjiang." Pei Qingzhi smiled.
"It smells good after it disperses." Tang Xi finished spraying and threw the bottle back to him.
Pei Qingzhi took it, sprayed it on himself a few times, and stuffed it back into his backpack.
A wolf howled faintly from ahead.
"It seems that something has been discovered." Tang Xi was refreshed.
"Isn't this too fast?" Pei Qingzhi was a little surprised.
Although it is judged that those people not only entered the depths of the rainforest back then, but they also walked for less than half an hour. If it is only this distance, no one will be found in seven years.
"Just look at it." Tang Xi shrugged and quickened her pace.
Not necessarily drugs, but definitely clues. After all, it is a wolf demon, not an ordinary dog, and its intelligence is no less than that of a human being.
Five minutes later, they saw the white wolf squatting under a tree waiting for them, his eyes were full of contempt, as if he disliked them for being too slow.
"What did you find?" Tang Xi pretended not to see it, and asked as she walked over.
"Someone has been here." The white wolf pawed at the tree trunk.
Tang Xi took a closer look, but saw a mark carved on the trunk with a sharp weapon.
"Is this used to indicate the direction?" Pei Qingzhi touched the notch and said affirmatively, "It's not more than three days old, and it's quite new."
Tang Xi stood in front of the tree, compared his height with his hands to the height of the notch, and continued, "About a head taller than me, man."
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, and they both saw a kind of helplessness on the other's face.
Who called my guardian/best friend the police!
"Pfft—" the two laughed together.
The white wolf looked at this and then at that, not understanding what's so funny about a notch, as if there was a special tacit understanding between the two of them, a secret that only the two of them knew.
There is a grievance of being excluded.
"It's really affected." Tang Xi sighed, "I think I was a thug who didn't even know how to detect traces."
"Of course you'll understand after watching too much, you're already smart." Pei Qingzhi said.
For more than a year, Tang Xi has followed Chu Li to the scene frequently. Although it is not always the case that he encounters ghosts, if he can find the soul of the victim in various homicide cases and restore the truth from the mouth of the deceased, the detection rate will of course be as high as It makes people feel that a plug-in is turned on.
Well, it is indeed a plug-in.
"So, just two or three days ago, someone entered the rainforest?" Tang Xi rubbed his chin and restrained the expression on his face.
"Hurry up and go to this kind of place, unless you are really skilled and daring, you are not alone." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Whether it's a large number of people or extremely high personal ability, it's a trouble. You can't just go there for an adventure vacation." Tang Xi frowned and said, "Why do I feel that there is a bad premonition?"
"It's only been a few days since Nie Cheng gave us the address. Could it be that the news has already leaked?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
Tang Xi thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Chu Li, asking him to find out if there are any suspicious people around Nie Cheng who might have a chance to get this address.
Nie Cheng may have a good heart, but he is a child after all, and it is not too difficult for a trained master to get his words out of his mouth.
It was only after the message was sent that she noticed that there was an unread text message on it, which was a reply to her previous complaint: take it into the rainforest and throw it away.
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing and bent over.
Pei Qingzhi also saw her mobile phone screen, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, reconfirming that he must have offended Chu Li recently without knowing it.
"Do you want to catch up and have a look?" White Wolf interrupted impatiently.
"Can you catch up?" Tang Xi asked seriously.
"I can tell the direction, but they walked a few days earlier, if you want to catch up, can you speed up?" White Wolf asked.
"Shrink the ground to an inch..." Tang Xi looked up at the forest in front of him, and said after a long silence, "I'm afraid that if I rush over at such a fast speed, I will hit a tree in three seconds."
"If it's in Jiangnan City, I can call in a helicopter." Pei Qingzhi felt a little regretful.
Southern Xinjiang is not the focus of the Pei family. Although there is a branch company, the scale is not large, and there are no such things as helicopters.
"By the way, you said, 'they'?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.
"There are three scents, one of which is closely entangled with the other scent, it should be two men and one woman." White Wolf answered very clearly.
"Not bad!" Tang Xi patted it on the head appreciatively, "You are indeed much easier to use than a police dog, you are worthy of being a wolf demon!"
"..." The white wolf stared at her with faint green eyes, very distrustful.
These words, it sounds like you are praising it, right? But why is it so wrong
Human language is so complicated!
"Apart from three people, is there anything else?" Tang Xi asked again.
"It smells... like gunpowder smoke." The white wolf thought for a while before saying.
Although I don't like this woman, but I can't beat her again and again, and the contract is established again. It's better to work hard and get rid of it. This woman should... still have the spirit of contract.
"There's a gun!" Tang Xi's expression changed.
Huaguo is a country that bans guns. It is too difficult to obtain and transport guns. If someone simply enters the rainforest, there may be a little bit of tourists or explorers. Those with guns are mostly dangerous. molecular.
"Xiaoxi, do you want to notify the local police to cooperate?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Wait first." Tang Xi pondered for a while and said, "I don't even know who the opponent is or where the things are. Don't worry."
"By the way, what you asked me to find is in the same direction as they are going." White Wolf added.
"Chase!" Tang Xi made a decisive decision.
The two of them, a wolf, were speeding through the rainforest. Taking advantage of the communication signal, she had already dialed the phone. In order not to affect the difficult path, she also put on a bluetooth headset.
"Why, I can't explain clearly in the text message, and I still think the proposal of throwing in the rain forest is not a good idea?" Chu Li's laughing voice came from the earphone.
"Chu Li, back then that organization said it had caught all of them, but it's impossible for such a large organization to miss every single one? Is there anyone who hasn't been caught?" Tang Xi asked directly.
"Of course there are those who escaped. After all, if you really count, there are more than ten thousand people up and down, and the prison can't afford to lock them up." Chu Li was reading the case file with his laptop on the table on the balcony. Hearing this, he opened a secret After a pause, he continued, "What the police call 'all-in-one' means that there are thirty-eight key members, except me and Lu Jing... no, apart from me and Pang Zheng, there are actually thirty-six Neither the leader of the organization, Jon Black, nor his substitute, Steven, escaped. Seventeen people were killed on the spot, and ten more were sentenced to death and executed immediately. The others are currently serving their sentences in five prisons. No one has reached the year of release from prison."
"Did any important members below the backbone escape?" Tang Xi asked.
"As far as I know, no." Chu Li said without hesitation, "The ones who didn't fall into the hands of the military and police were the ones at the outermost level, and some of them didn't even know that the organization was a professional drug dealer. It is the kind of ordinary gangsters. We can't arrest tens of thousands of people. This kind of people can only be educated and released. They will be monitored by the local police. After confirming that they are not harmful to society, the monitoring will be gradually removed. Small leaders in the middle More dead in the bombing, I woke up in the ward, couldn't do anything else, that month was identifying people based on pictures of dead bodies... I was the only undercover officer who came back alive, and I was facing the whole month Photos of various corpses for dinner."
"..." Tang Xi could almost imagine the tragic situation of Chu Li back then, so he didn't continue to ask.
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the person on the other side said, "By the way, speaking of corpses, there is indeed a person who reported his death, but I didn't see the corpse."
"Who?" Tang Xi immediately cheered up.
"My name is Bai Jian. He is of Asian descent. Before joining Jon, he was an international mercenary." In addition to Chu Li's voice in the earphones, there was also the sound of typing on the computer keyboard. I sent it to your mobile phone. By the way, I didn’t see his body because he was the backbone who brought a batch of goods out for trading before the decisive battle. It’s just that the group of people disappeared after entering the mountains from the border. The climate of the place It was bad and uninhabited, and after five months of squatting and searching, the police judged that they could not escape alive, so they reported their deaths."
"I remember that the rainforest on this side of the border is connected to southern Xinjiang." Tang Xi said in a deep voice.
"Theoretically yes." Chu Li sighed, "However, crossing the rain forest and crossing the death line of thousands of kilometers is still an impossible task, not to mention that they didn't wear too many supplies back then."
"But if that Bai Jian hadn't died, some things could be linked together." Tang Xi said, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "But looking at it this way, the whereabouts of those things are not so optimistic. deep, even closer to the border on the other side."
"You suspect Bai Jian?" Chu Li was startled.
"Well, there is another wave of people in the rainforest with guns." Tang Xi said simply.
"Get out, immediately!" Chu Li's face changed, and he said immediately, "Listen, now...Zi-Nanjiang City...Zi-Zi-Detachment..."
"Ah, it's too deep. The signal is not good. I can't hear you. I'll contact you later." Tang Xi hung up the phone decisively.
Chu Li on the other side listened to the busy tone on the phone, stunned for a while, threw the phone angrily, and cursed: "Little bastard!"
"Is this okay?" Pei Qingzhi looked at her dumbfounded.
"The signal is about to be cut off, and I didn't lie to him." Tang Xi replied confidently.
"..." Pei Qingzhi was speechless, "Is it interesting to lie to yourself?"
Tang Xi lowered his head and pressed a few times on the phone.
Fortunately, the email had already been sent before the signal was disconnected.
The photo should have been taken secretly, some years ago, he looks like a capable man in his thirties, he should be in his forties by now. Just a photo, but also can feel a bloody breath blowing.
"This guy has killed more than one person." Tang Xi frowned.
"Don't you really need to call for support?" Pei Qingzhi said in a deep voice, "This time we may not be facing ghosts, but living people with weapons."
"Isn't it good to be alive?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Close the door and let the ghosts go!"
"..." Pei Qingzhi was choked and said after a while, "I remember you said that it is very difficult for ghosts to cause harm to living people."
"My side is not an ordinary ghost. Besides, isn't there a monster here?" Tang Xi patted the wolf monster on the head.
"..." The white wolf was speechless, he just wanted to say don't treat me like a pet dog, okay
"Ah, that's right." Tang Xi touched the bracelet and said softly, "If there is any danger, Shaoyao, you can throw him into the illusion."
"Understood." Shaoyao agreed.
Pei Qingzhi was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Closing the door and releasing ghosts is a joke, and the illusion is the trump card. The illusion, which is equivalent to a parallel enchantment, is a guarantee of safety. Even if there is danger, if you hide in the enchantment, the opponent has a gun and there is nothing you can do.
"Come here!" The white wolf moved his nose suddenly, looking for a direction and leaping out.
The two looked at each other and immediately followed.
After a while, I heard the slight sound of running water.
Sure enough, after running for a while, a clear stream appeared in front of my eyes.
"Here." The white wolf stopped far away.
Tang Xi walked over and saw some traces of burnt things left on a small open space.
Pei Qingzhi squatted down, moved the air with his hands, and said affirmatively: "It smells like alcohol, someone has gone too far."
"Hmm." Tang Xi kicked the bones of some unknown animals scattered beside her with her toes, and sneered, "It's less than a day old, and it's much newer than the scratches. Is this going around in the rainforest, or has it already come out?"
Where they are now, they are about 20 kilometers deep into the rainforest, and even the mobile phone signal is intermittent. Ordinary people would not go to this place to have a barbecue.
Looking up, the sun was about to set, the light in the dense forest dimmed, and even the wind blowing over brought a hint of coolness.
"Are you hungry?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
Tang Xi stretched out his hand towards him.
Pei Qingzhi rummaged through her backpack, and handed her a bottle of mineral water and a bag of bread: "Let's make do with it, it's better than compressed biscuits."
"Well, the meat floss is not bad." Tang Xi didn't mind just leaning against a tree to eat a simple dinner. The rainforest is wet and dense with snakes and ants. Sitting casually is too unsafe. She would rather stand. And since this place was passed by those people today, it is the safest place now.
"It's getting dark, should we go out first and continue chasing, or find a place to spend the night?" Pei Qingzhi asked, "I brought a tent, but there is only one tent. I'm afraid I will feel wronged if I stay overnight."
"I want to keep chasing." Tang Xi swallowed the food in his mouth, drank two sips of water, and said, "For me, the dark night is good. On the contrary, resting is not safe."
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi agreed without saying anything.
"Do you want to come with me?" Tang Xi hesitated.
"Why, look down on me?" Pei Qingzhi smiled, "Although I am from the Pei family, my grandfather has never been used to children since I was a child. My ability to survive in the wild is not weak, and I can protect myself. At least I won't cause trouble for you."
Tang Xi looked him up and down, and found that he was indeed capable of doing things with ease, so she nodded and asked curiously, "Have you ever participated in wilderness survival?"
"Summer camp, stay with Chu Li." Pei Qingzhi nodded.
While speaking, the sky has completely darkened.
The luxuriant branches and leaves covered the sky, and the moonlight could not pass through the barrier. The forest was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
"This way." The white wolf resignedly opened the way ahead.
Fortunately, its white fur, which glows silver in the night, works better than street lamps!
However, when driving at night, the speed still slowed down. Of course, Tang Xi felt that even if they slowed down, they could still be faster than the other wave.
Suddenly, the white wolf stopped.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xi asked.
"Those people have been going around in circles." Bai Lang was a little puzzled, "It's like playing hide-and-seek with me, won't they find us?"
"If they find out, they will probably choose to find a place to ambush and shoot them to death when we come over." Tang Xi sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, those are drug dealers, and they kill without blinking an eye. Especially in this ghost place, if people are slaughtered and buried in a hole, their bodies will not be found for ten or eight years."
"They are looking for something." Pei Qingzhi affirmed, "The terrain in the rainforest is complex and the vegetation grows extremely fast. If you want to hide something here, after seven years, even the people who buried it back then may not be able to find the exact location. No sign can last seven years in the rainforest."
"So, those things are nearby." Tang Xi's eyes lit up.
"It would be great if we could solve it directly." Pei Qingzhi said, taking out his phone and looking at it.
At 9:10 in the evening, the signal was poor, and it was a little bit reluctant to make a call, but wechat should be able to send it.
"It's very close, they're coming this way." White Wolf said suddenly.
"Hide." Tang Xi yelled "Shaoyao" while pulling Pei Qingzhi.
Pei Qingzhi only felt a gust of cold air flowing over his body, and suddenly, with his right eye, he saw this layer of faint black air covering his skin.
"It's just an illusion, don't mind." Tang Xi said.
Pei Qingzhi put down his hands and looked in the direction where the white wolf was guarding. Not long after, he saw a swaying light.
"It's a flashlight."
Tang Xi was observing, when a low voice came from her ear, and the slightly warm breath penetrated into her ears one after another, making her shrink her neck and complained: "Speak as you speak, don't get so close to me."
"Sorry." Pei Qingzhi smiled lightly, because he was so close that he seemed to be able to feel the vibration in his chest.
"Here we come." Tang Xi patted her face, which was inexplicably hot, and collected herself.
The light of the flashlight is getting closer and closer, and you can vaguely see that, as White Wolf said, there are two men and one woman. The woman in the middle was holding the flashlight, and the two men were protecting her one after the other. It looked like they were professionally trained.
"It's a mercenary." Pei Qingzhi said in a low voice.
"Sure enough." Tang Xi pursed her lips, "I doubt that the entire army was wiped out back then, but Bai Jian escaped alone. Although the military and the police jointly sealed off for five months, but The rainforest is so big, one person has a smaller goal than a team. Besides... if it were me, it would not be impossible to cross the rainforest, don't underestimate anyone, he is still a top international mercenary."
"Brother Bai, are you sure it's this location? We've been looking for it for three days, and we don't have enough supplies if we don't go out." said the man who fell last.
"It's nearby." The leading man said in a deep voice, "The location has been leaked. If you don't do it again, I'm afraid you will run into a group of cops next time."
The distance was even closer, and by the light of the flashlight, Tang Xi confirmed that it was Bai Jian in front of him.
Compared with the person in the photo, he is a bit older, but his fierce temperament is even worse. It can be seen that he has still lived a bloody life in the past seven years.
"How?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Su Huang." Tang Xi waved her hand.
"It looks fun." Su Huang smiled coquettishly, and floated towards the visitor with her tail dragging.
Tang Xi usually does not allow them to scare the living, and fights with ghosts when he has something to do. It is rare to have the opportunity to play with humans.
"Someone!" The woman suddenly exclaimed.
"Who is there, don't make a fuss..." Bai Jian was stunned for a moment in the middle of speaking.
In the dark dense forest, a beautiful woman in a red dress slowly floated over.
It was indeed "floating", her lower body barely moved, and it didn't look like she was walking normally.
"Brother Bai, is it... yes, there are ghosts!" The woman subconsciously shrank back towards Bai Jian.
With a cold face and no words, Bai Jian pulled out the gun from his back, released the safety, and loaded it.
"Brother Bai, you can't hit ghosts with a gun, right?" Another man trembled.
"Where do ghosts come from in this world? People are pretending to be ghosts!" Bai Jian sneered, "I have killed countless people in my life. If there were ghosts, I would have come to claim my life a long time ago. How can I wait until today?"
Perhaps it was because of his firm and fearless attitude, but it also calmed his companion's emotions and calmed down.
The woman raised the flashlight to shine it on, and a beam of light hit Su Huang's face, making that bloodless face even paler like snow.
"It's too impolite to shine a flashlight on someone's face." Su Huang said dissatisfiedly.
"Boom!" Bai Jian shot without hesitation.
"Pfft—" The bullet passed through Suhuang and sank into the tree trunk behind her, causing the tree to shake and shake off the leaves.
Bai Jian was taken aback, missed? No, it's impossible, the tree is clearly in line with the woman in front of him, how could he miss it, the bullet doesn't know how to bend, and knows how to bypass people.
"Brother Bai, your marksmanship has regressed?" But the companion added fuel to the fire.
Bai Jian's face darkened, and he pulled the trigger and fired two more shots.
"Can you be more polite to a woman!" Su Huang was also angry.
She is not afraid of physical guns and bullets, but after all, she was once a human being, and no one likes being hit with a gun as a target.
"Ah!" the woman screamed, pointing at her and shouting, "legs, her legs!"
The eyes of several people moved down—
"There is a ghost!"
"Shut up!" Bai Jian's forehead bulged with veins, and he scolded his companion, but his eyes turned around on Su Huang's legs, and his scalp felt numb.
Human body and snake tail, just like the legendary Nuwa—there are indeed many people worshiping Nuwa in southern Xinjiang, and there are several Nuwa temples, so it's not... really not human
"Hey, handsome guy, how about seeing a human being and staying with me for a few days?" Su Huang approached, blowing a cold breath on Bai Jian's face, and scratching his fingers from his face to his chest.
"Ghost! There is a ghost! Help!!!" The man and the woman were not as calm as Bai Jian, and they found Su Huang's body slightly transparent at a close distance, and immediately rushed to the depths of the rainforest, even the gunshots. Threats are useless.
"Stop!" Bai Jian roared angrily, just as he raised his gun, his wrist was held by a cold hand.
