Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 91

The slanting raindrops soaked the notices in the fence.

Yu Zhen held the umbrella between her shoulders and neck, looked ahead with her eyes, and kept the pencil in hand.

Not sure which information is valuable and which is useless, and standing still for a long time is likely to attract suspicion, so I simply write down all the information on the bulletin board, and wait to return to the inn to gather with Zhao Ganwu and Yu Ke for analysis.

It's just that Yu Zhen didn't receive a reminder from Torch about the progress of the event background exploration until he closed the notebook.

Obviously, the information recorded just now was not particularly critical, which made her a little disappointed.

Turning around to look for Yan Jing, he unexpectedly discovered that he had walked to the gate of the county office not far away, holding the pastry bought on the street in his hand, and chatting with the policeman guarding the gate of the county office.

After a while, he turned back again, followed by an official carrying a snack box.

"The information on the bulletin board is not enough to promote the progress of the exploration of the background of the event. I think the next step is to explore the Sandu Buddha, which can defend against evil spirits. It can play such a role in Jingjiang Town. If it is not false propaganda, it must involve to other forces."

In Yu Zhen's eyes, the current situation in Jingjiang Town is still chaotic and confusing. To complete the second task, they must grasp the key clues of this incident.

"So I discussed with the official in front of the county yamen and asked him to take us into the yamen to clean the clerical room. If there is no accident, there should be the information we want, at least we can know when the Jingjiang town came out. God!"

While Yu Zhen was recording the information, Yan Jing was not idle. She raised her right hand and swayed her five fingers dexterously. A few strands of shadows could be faintly seen swaying on her fingertips. gesture.

The skill obtained from Perot, Shadow Manipulation Puppet!
This ability seems to be just a small skill in the Huan Ling mask, but it is actually very valued by Yan Jing, and it can produce miraculous effects if used well.

For example now.

Regardless of the situation of the county government officials in Jingjiang Town, as long as the government is operating normally, various files and documents are bound to be left. If you want to know the situation in the town, this is undoubtedly the fastest way.

Although Yu Zhen didn't know how Yan Jing did it, she still seized this opportunity without hesitation.

With officials leading the way, the rest is much simpler.

All the way through the main entrance into the official mansion, now it is approaching noon, most people in the official mansion are eating, and occasionally meet a few servants or officials who are wandering around, the three of them don’t even need to retreat, if anyone asks, they say it was ordered by the county magistrate , Let them go to sort out the files.

No one would go to the county magistrate for verification of such a trivial matter.

In fact, they lost interest when they heard the word dossier.

From their point of view, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the file room of the county government. They usually just arrange an old secretary to take care of it, and no one goes there.

"It's here, right here."

Walking to the door of a side room on the east side of the county government office, the officer knocked on the door, turned his head and said to Yan Jing.

crunch~
The door opened, and standing inside was an old man with gray temples who looked to be over fifty, holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the three people standing outside the door in confusion.

Knowing that the county magistrate had sent two people over to sort out the files, although he was puzzled as to why two foreigners were called in, he didn't say much, just moved aside and signaled Yan Jing and Yu Zhen to come in.

The next thing is much simpler.

Yan Jing released the control of the official officer as soon as he left, and changed his target to Lao Shuzuo. As for the former, it would take at least half an hour to recover from the control effect of the shadow manipulator puppet. Enough for them to find what they are looking for.

"We need to look up relevant news about the earth immortals, evil spirits, and Sandu Buddha in the town, and help us pick out such files."

After closing the door, the skill quietly took effect, Yan Jing glanced at the neatly arranged bookshelves in the room, and gave instructions.

With the assistance of the old secretary who has managed the place for many years, all the files that the two wanted were quickly sorted out and placed on the desk beside them.

Light an oil lamp.

Yu Zhen quickly got into the mood and began to read, Yan Jing assisted from the side, while Lao Shuzuo continued to have lunch.

The room fell silent for a while.

As time went by, the rain outside the window not only failed to stop, but tended to expand.

The wind and rain were blowing outside, and even at noon, the house was dim, and the light and shadows reflected by the oil lamps swayed on the wall.

The old Shuzuo's sound of fiddling with the bowl and chopsticks stopped quickly, and he should have finished his lunch. Yan Jing was leaning against the wall, facing the door, with the Shuofeng sword placed beside him.

Looking at the various weird events that happened in Jingjiang Town recorded in the dossier, Yu Zhen wrote down while thinking about the information that might be hidden in these events.
Those extremely weird things flashed one by one in her mind.

The pencil in writing stopped suddenly and the lead broke.

Yu Zhen stood up straight, raised her hand and pressed the wall against the table, her face turned pale suddenly.

For some reason, she felt restless. As an ember apostle who has survived many life and death difficulties in single events, her will is undoubtedly strong enough.

However, just now, an indescribable sense of fear suddenly seeped into her body.

Some weird voices flooded into her ears mixed with the sound of wind and rain.

"Anything?"

Noticing Yu Zhen's abnormal behavior, Yan Jing put down the file and raised his hand to hold the handle of Shuo Feng's sword.

"Did you hear something, coming from inside the wall... like some kind of piercing hum."

Subconsciously stroking his forehead, Yu Zhen was also amazed by his emotional changes, and explained intermittently.

"Inside the wall?"

Yan Jing asked himself that his hearing was not bad, but Yu Zhen's sudden inquiry made him a little surprised, he didn't hear any strange voice,

"I didn't hear it. Do you have some kind of hearing aid?"

"No, I'm just... no, this state is not normal!"

Looking across the dark place in the house, in Yu Zhen's eyes, there seemed to be something entrenched in those dark corners, and the swaying tree shadow outside the door also changed into the form of a monster. After a short silence, suddenly He raised his hand in front of his body to form a dharma seal, muttering in his mouth,

"Om Panzer Sa Do Hum"

When the obscure syllables sounded, Yan Jing only felt refreshed, and was extraordinarily clear.

What kind of technique is this?
The first time Yan Jing saw Yu Zhen make a move, she was surprised but also curious about her ability.

It's just that Yu Zhen at this time didn't have the heart to explain, and suddenly reminded,

"Look at your status bar, is there any abnormal change?"

"Abnormal change?"

Yan Jing was stunned for half a second, then quickly opened the personal panel.

As Yu Zhen said, an abnormal state called [Smart Erosion] appeared in his status bar at some point, followed by a data, 97%!

"Our mental state is being disturbed by some kind of external force, intellectual eclipse, my data has dropped below 95%, and I am having hallucinations towards the dark side of the surrounding scene."

Yu Zhen, who has already noticed the danger of this negative state, has a solemn expression,

"My seal cannot dispel this negative state, and I can feel that it is affecting my sanity and judgment of the surrounding environment."

Leaving the seat, Yu Zhen scanned the entire room, trying to find the place that caused their mental state to go wrong, but before she could find out, Yan Jing on the side jumped out first.

With the Shuo Feng sword out of its sheath, Yan Jing rushed straight to the old Shuzuo at the side of the room, leaped onto the table, kicked away the dishes that had not been put away, and pointed the sword point directly at the latter's left eye.

Just now, Yan Jing noticed that the shadow manipulation puppet suddenly failed, and Lao Shuzuo got out of control!

However, just when Yan Jing thought that Lao Shuzuo was a master of concealment, facing the sharp sword tip that was close at hand, this guy still had that calm expression on his face that was even a little stunned, completely indifferent to the approaching threat reaction.

There is only one explanation.

He is being controlled by another force!

"Be careful, there are other existences watching nearby."

Yan Jing sensed her surroundings, but found nothing. She was about to step forward to check on the old Shuzuo's body, when she heard Yu Zhen reminding her from behind,
"Don't lean up, his face is twisting. Something weird is entering his body!"

His gaze turned to Old Shuzuo again.

What Yan Jing saw was still a haggard face full of wrinkles.

In the next second, the old Shuzuo's facial features collapsed like a melting candle, and then under the control of a strange energy that came from nowhere, he put together a strange face that looked like a mouse, with brown lips. Sharp yellow teeth stick out.

Squeak ~ Squeak ~
A ferocious aura rose up.

A few minutes ago, Shuzuo, who was old and senile, was surprisingly agile at this moment. He swung his head to the side and flashed the Shuofeng sword, and his mouth full of disgusting black and yellow fangs gnawed at Yan Jing's sword-holding wrist.

Bang!
A punch hit Shu Zuo's temple, and the entire table collapsed in an instant.

This punch, which was enough to kill an ordinary person instantly, didn't seem to have much effect on this monster. Even though the place where it was hit was bloody, it was still struggling frantically, trying to get rid of the mountain-like heavy right foot on its back.

Easily subduing the monster, Yan Jing looked up at Yu Zhen who had raised her voice before,

"How did you see him mutate?"

You must know that Lu Wu's golden eyes can still detect abnormal changes in the surroundings even when his spiritual vision skills are cooling down, but Yan Jing didn't notice anything unusual just now.

"I think it's the reason of intellectual erosion. This negative state makes me extremely sensitive to some terrifying scenes. What's more troublesome is that when you are fighting it, the invasion of intellectual erosion suddenly intensifies. Weird or evil existences are all the time affects us."

Yu Zhen, who was already aware of the problem, opened his mouth to explain, but in the middle of the sentence, he saw Yan Jing suddenly looking around, and the expression on his face gradually became weird, so he couldn't help but add a sentence,

"It seems that you have already experienced it."

　There will be more later.

　　I originally wanted to do the third shift, but I overestimated my coding speed, and it would be difficult to get stuck a little bit.

　　Prepare to save some manuscripts first.
