In order to effectively deal with different anomalies, the tactical vests of these task forces also carry the ordinary weapons equipped by the sheriff. These weapons can basically cause physical damage to most low-level anomalies.
Sometimes simple and effective physical damage will give the special dispatcher a certain buffer time. Although it can't kill the anomaly, it can also be a slow-down strategy to gain time for the successful capture of the anomaly.
Along the way, Shen Xing asked all the special weapons he was interested in, and Xie Zongyu, who was sitting in the same car, had been acting as a narrator.
After a while, a special vehicle that looked like a commercial car from the outside, but was more like an armed transporter inside, drove into the city center. Two similar models followed, Yang Tian and Zhang Zhi, and a group of heavily armed vehicles. Task force.
The downtown of Ping An is actually not as prosperous as Shen Xing imagined.
In fact, the development of Ping An City is extremely uneven. The main industry is the manufacturing and export of various puppets. On the contrary, the service industry is relatively weak. This is the same city adjacent to Shicheng, and there is only one large shopping mall in the city center.
Moreover, according to Xie Zongyu, there are not many tourists in this mall, so the goods are not very rich.
Sometimes people in this city would even take the opportunity to go shopping in nearby cities such as Shicheng if they want to shop.
The office building of the special investigation team is attached to the security office, but it is not the same courtyard, but a wall in between.
After Shen Xing arrived, he found that although the office of the special investigation team was separated from the public security office, the space here was very large, with undulating green plants, red and green, ponds, promenades, and small squares. The air was very good.
"This is the advantage of being close to Jingzhou!" He couldn't help sighing inwardly.
The special case investigation and command center in Jingzhou is the headquarters of special investigation and command in all states. It has great powers. This also leads to the most abundant supply of resources and equipment in this place. Places such as Shicheng and Ping'an City are naturally near water. .
Behind the office building, there is an antique garden residence, which is the residence of these special dispatchers and contingent personnel.
This is not an ordinary accommodation, but an apartment with high-end decoration.
In addition to Xie Zongyu, Zhang Zhi, and Yang Tian, the official members of the Ping An City Special Commissioning Team, there are also four logistics personnel, including one operator, two information personnel, and one equipment security officer.
In fact, there are five field personnel, and one of the two others was transferred to the city to help, and the other went to the headquarters of the Jingzhou Command Center for training.
When he came to Xie Zongyu's office on the third floor, Shen Xing took a close look at it.
This office is more than a bit more luxurious than that of Guo Tianzhi in Yungu City. He remembered that Guo Tianzhi's office was used by the dead Zheng Ruijun before.
The office is near the end of the corridor? It's only about 20 square meters. After two desks, a sofa, and a file cabinet are placed inside, the basic connections must be sideways.
And the office of Xie Zongyu in front of him? Is it almost 40 square meters? Not only is the office desk and chair luxurious, there are two lucky trees in the room.
Shen Xing doesn't know a special dispatcher who catches anomalies? What does it mean to put some lucky trees in the office? Is it the same plan as Zheng Ruijun? Secretly cooperate with the Yeyin organization to get more money
Sitting in front of the sofa? Xie Zongyu opened an exquisite tea-making table on the coffee table. The smoke quickly rushed in, and the drinking water in the bucket was sucked into the teapot on the tea table by electric suction.
Xie Zongyu was skilled in his actions, operating the process of making tea? This leisurely scene made Shen Xing a little dumbfounded? His eyes were fixed on the outlet where a small stream of water was rushing out.
I saw four words written on the top of that place: Water emerges from the foot of the mountain.
"Shente,'water comes out of the mountain'!" Shen Xing couldn't help but complain to himself.
After a while, a cup of hot yellow soup was soaked, the tea was full of aroma, and it was quiet, but Shen Xing never touched it again after instigating a mouthful and being scalded with his tongue.
At this time, Xie Zongyu poured a cup of tea for Yang Tian who had entered his office together? Then he turned back to the desk and opened the drawer and took out a photo.
After walking in front of Shen Xing? Passed the photo to him: "Here, this is the well? The photo is blurry, but there is no way. No matter what you use to shoot the well? It will become blurred in the end? That is to use technical means. It cannot be recovered."
"Oh?"
Shen Xing was quite curious? He took the photo in his hand and took a closer look at it.
This photo is relatively new to the touch and should have been printed recently. The rough picture in the photo should be in a deserted courtyard.
It can be seen that the surrounding walls of this courtyard have been built for at least several decades. The courtyard walls have been damaged and the paint on the walls has fallen off a lot, exposing some red bricks, and even some places have collapsed.
The walls of the yard are covered with green vines from the outside. These vines grow well and reproduce well, indicating that the outside of the yard should be a place where dense green plants grow, not like in the city, but mostly in the outskirts.
There were stone tables and stools in this yard before, but only the bottom half of the stone table was left, and the top half was missing. Only two of the four stone stools were still there, and one fell to the ground crookedly. After the moss, the other one is still in place, but one corner is missing, and the surface is also covered with darkened moss.
And not far from the lower left corner of the stone table and stool, there is a fuzzy shadow, which at first glance seems to be blurred by someone deliberately.
Shen Xing carefully identified it, and saw that the middle part of the blurred scene was a circle with a darker color. It should be the opening of an abandoned dry well. The surroundings of the opening were almost completely blurred, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"It's here." At this time, Xie Zongyu stretched out his index finger and pointed to the fuzzy place, "This is the place of the dry well."
"Is it impossible to clearly capture the appearance of the well regardless of whether it is photographed or recorded?" Shen Xing asked.
"Yes." Yang Tian coughed twice and nodded and replied: "We used two cameras and three cameras to shoot together, but the displayed effect is almost the same as the one you see now. ."
"Is there any electronic radiation signal interference around this well?" Shen Xing asked.
Xie Zongyu shook his head: "We used a special instrument to measure, and there was nothing. In fact, that place has been abandoned for many years. If it hadn't been for someone to disappear and report the incident, we wouldn't know that there was an abnormality in that place."
Yang Tian continued: "Behind the yard in the photo is an old house, which is completely dilapidated. The doors and windows have been rotten. There is no one living in it for a long time, so it was not taken in this photo."
"Have you ever searched?" Shen Xing asked.
"I searched it, and I also used the virtual wireless to detect it. There was nothing." Yang Tian said.
"Then is this dry well used for virtual wireless detection?" Shen Xing continued to ask.
"Of course I did, but I don't know how deep the well is, and I can't see any abnormal reflections." Yang Tian shook his head.
Shen Xing turned his head to look at Xie Zongyu, who was drinking tea, his expression was slightly intoxicated, his tongue slammed softly in his mouth.
Seeing Shen Xing look over, Xie Zongyu reminded: "Drink tea."
Shen Xing touched his lips with his tongue, just hit the place that had been scalded just now, and then shook his head.
"You just said that someone was missing in that place, what's the matter?"
Xie Zongyu put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "This is what I just said. This incident is very bizarre. It is completely different from the other anomalies I have encountered before, so I specially invite you to come over and tell you slowly. ."
"Please tell me." Shen Xing didn't talk nonsense, staring directly at Xie Zongyu's eyes.
Xie Zongyu cleared his throat, and then began to tell.
…
This dry well is located in an abandoned house called "Duan Zhai", which is located in the southern suburbs of Ping An City, almost 30 kilometers away from the city center.
Originally it was called Duanjia Village, but it was later expropriated for the development and construction of urban parks.
However, in the process of project construction, the leader of the city hall who led the project at that time should be investigated and punished by bribery. The entire project was affected and audited, but the results were not audited. An audit found that the project was not due to the initiation process, land acquisition and relocation, and compensation. The use and so on, is almost riddled with holes and problems everywhere.
Then the entire project was stopped.
After about ten years, instead of restarting, the project was directly abolished. Since then, descendants of Duanjia Village have moved back again.
Of course, there are other people who have moved in from other places.
The neighborhood has gradually gained popularity, and some small farmhouses have also been developed, which usually become places for people in the city to relax on weekends and holidays.
Later, someone took a fancy to this old Duan family house, which was not demolished at that time. As for the Duan family, they no longer live in Ping An City after receiving the demolition money. It is said that they have moved to other states a long time ago and cannot be contacted anymore.
At that time, the people who opened the farm were going to rebuild this house, and use the oldness of this house to make a look at the retro feelings, so as to attract the attention of the people in the city.
While applying for the reconstruction procedures, he asked people to check the condition of the building to see if it needed extensive repairs, or to rebuild a yard in the original style after it was demolished.
At that time, the person in charge of the construction quality survey was Liu Depei, a retired engineer from the Municipal Design and Inspection Institute. He was idle after retirement, and he was a relative of the person who was planning to open a farmhouse, so he stopped by to help.
Together with Liu Depei's 12-year-old grandson, Liu Xiaokai.
In the process of Liu Depei's inspection of the construction quality of the section of the house, Liu Xiaokai was told by his father not to enter the old house to prevent something inside from collapsing. This place is not safe.
Liu Xiaokai came here with his schoolbag on his back and put the schoolbag on the cleaned stone bench. He was playing in the yard and was quickly attracted by the dry well.
At this time, my grandfather was working and sampling inside the house with testing tools. Although Liu Xiaokai was afraid to run around after listening to his grandfather's words, he was bored so he grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them into the dry well.
At that time, the dry well was covered with a thin layer of stone slabs. After long-term wind and sun exposure, the stone slabs had broken from it, but they had not been completely broken.
There are many large gaps between the stone slab and the edge of the dry hole. It is through these gaps that Liu Xiaokai kept throwing stones into it.
After the pebbles were thrown in, he found that it took a long time before he heard the crashing sound coming from inside, which showed that the dry well should be deep.
Soon after throwing the small stones at hand, Liu Xiaokai turned and went to other places, planning to find some bigger stones over, as long as he stuffed it in through the gap, he wanted to try how deep it was.
But just as Liu Xiaokai just turned around, he suddenly heard a pop.
Turning around immediately, I heard the sound coming from the well head covered with thin slate in front of me. It was very crisp, as if a stone hit the slab or hit the rock wall of the well head.
Liu Xiaokai was a little surprised. He walked to the well and dared not get too close. After listening carefully for a while, he found a stone and stuffed it in the gap of the slab again.
After a while, the sound of a stone falling to the ground came out.
Liu Xiaokai stepped back two steps later, staring at the stone slab at the mouth of the well without blinking.
About five or six seconds later, there was a puff, and there was the sound of a stone hitting the stone slab.
This time Liu Xiaokai heard clearly that the stone should have bounced from the well, from inside to outside, on the stone slab covering the well head, making the sound just now.
"There is something in it?!"
He stepped forward in surprise, hesitantly stopped, and didn't dare to approach the well head completely. Instead, he stretched his neck as best as he could, and shouted at the well head in the crevice of the slate, "Is anyone there?"
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
Uneasy, Liu Xiaokai picked up another stone and threw it in through the gap.
This time it only took about three seconds. With a puff, the stone bounced up, hit the stone slab, and fell out of the gap by coincidence.
Liu Xiaokai got excited, and immediately lay down on the edge of the well, and shouted, "Is anyone there?"
Nothing happens inside.
He thought that maybe the bottom of the well was too deep from the ground, so the sound could not spread. He immediately turned around and went to his schoolbag to take out the things from the handicraft class. This was a solid nylon rope, a pair of scissors, and he took out at the same time. Paper and pen.
After writing the words "Hello, is anyone?" on the paper, find a larger stone, bind the paper and the stone together with a nylon string, and then hang one end of the pen cap on the nylon string After arriving at the mouth of the cave, he slowly put this end into the mouth of the well.
This slender nylon rope was about fifteen meters long. Liu Xiaokai thought that if the rope couldn't touch the end, he would call Grandpa and find a longer rope.
No one knew that the rope hit the bottom after about ten meters deep into the well.
Feeling the bottoming feedback coming from below, Liu Xiaokai was a little surprised.
He didn't move for a while, just grabbed one end of the nylon rope and waited quietly for a while.
After about a minute, a pulling sensation came from below, and then the rope became loose.
Liu Xiaokai immediately refreshed and quickly pulled the rope up.
Shaking and shaking, he quickly lifted the end of the stone that was tied up to the mouth of the well, only to see that the paper and ink pen were still tied to it.
But on the other side of the paper on which the words were written just now, there are already two more skewed words—I am here.
Liu Xiaokai was so excited that he shouted at the old mansion for two grandpa, immediately tore off another piece of white paper, and quickly wrote on it: "Why did you fall in? I will find someone to rescue you right away."
Hanging the rope into the well again, Liu Xiaokai looked up and found that Grandpa hadn't come out, as if he hadn't heard himself yelling just now.
After a while, the rope that touched the bottom of the well began to pull again. He immediately pulled the rope up quickly, opened the other side of the note, and was taken aback.
The person below didn't answer his question just now. This time, he still wrote two skewed words—I'm hungry. (End of this chapter)
