Chapter 90 The aftermath of the war, Internet news (a [-]-word chapter)
Feng Qiqi was obviously not used to being so close to others, so Zhao Qineng could feel that her body was stiff and a little disoriented.
Zhao Qi and King Zombie have been fighting until now. Although they are not at the end of their strength, they have also consumed a lot of physical energy.
He was breathing heavily, and the air kept brushing against Feng Qiqi's cheek, which made her feel a little awkward, but she didn't make any movement.
"Feng Qiqi, how did you know that the charm was fake?"
Zhao Qi asked abruptly, which made Feng Qiqi startled for a moment, but then her expression became normal.
"This is a woman's talent..."
Feng Qiqi did not answer the question directly, and Zhao Qi did not ask further. What he wanted to know more was the answer to another question.
"Since you knew, why didn't you leave?"
Feng Qiqi was silent for a few seconds, which was also her own doubt.
I don't know since when, the idea of leaving here was no longer so strong in her heart.
A somewhat complicated light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the mountain road in front of her dissociatedly, but she did not answer Zhao Qi's question.
He just let go of Zhao Qi and quickened his pace, deliberately avoiding talking about himself.
Looking at Feng Qiqi walking alone in front, Zhao Qi couldn't help feeling helpless.
Creatures like women are really elusive.
The battle just now left Langyan Mountain in a state of devastation, the woods collapsed, and many trees were struck by lightning, almost causing wildfires.
The outer layers of the charred trees were slightly peeled off, but in Zhao Qi's eyes, these trees were priceless treasures.
Walking along the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain, Zhao Qi saw Li Wanran lying on the ground from a distance.
"Sad!"
Zhao Qi was startled, and his steps accelerated a lot.
He knew it was too much to put the team members in such a crisis, but along the way, he always retained some faith.
They'll be fine.
They are the team members I personally selected, so nothing will happen to them!
But when Zhao Qi saw Li Wanran lying on the ground, he was still confused.
He quickly came to Li Wanran's side, hesitantly stretched out his hand and put it on Li Wanran's shoulder.
"Sad, sad!"
Li Wanran's clothes were stained red with blood, and there were many possessed corpses lying around him.
The common feature of these corpses is that their heads were chopped off.
Of course, there are many intact bodies among them, and these people are all possessed villagers.
Seeing this, Zhao Qi understood that the team members had been strictly following his instructions and had not harmed any civilians.
Feng Qiqi stood behind Zhao Qi, looking at Li Wanran who was covered in blood, with some confusion on her face.
They are really trying their best...
For something that has nothing to do with you, for a light command?
Even at the expense of his own life?
Feng Qiqi didn't understand. This behavior, which she thought was stupid, now deeply touched her heart.
why?
Feng Qiqi just tilted her head slightly and looked at Zhao Qi and Li Wanran, whose life or death was uncertain, in confusion.
This also put a big question mark in her heart.
"Supervisor... Supervisor..."
At this moment, Li Suanran opened his eyes weakly. The moment he saw Zhao Qi, he couldn't even believe that this was true.
"Emissary...did we succeed?"
Li Wanran endured the severe pain in his body, but still paid attention to the results of the mission.
Zhao Qi nodded solemnly and squeezed out a smile while suppressing the emotion in his heart:
"It worked, you did it."
Fortunately, Li Wanran was not seriously ill. Although he suffered some injuries, they were not life-threatening, but he was just a little weak.
Zhao Qi grabbed Li Wanran's arm, and Li Wanran soon felt a warm current flowing down his arm into his body, and the weak feeling of exhaustion was relieved.
He picked up the Dragon Song Sword scattered beside him and stood up with force. Zhao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about the rest?"
Just as Zhao Qihua's voice fell, Zhang Zhenshan's voice came from the distance.
Several people looked around and saw Zhang Zhenshan, Wang Wuchen, and Zhang Lingyuan walking towards each other, supporting each other.
The three of them all looked quite embarrassed, but they all had smiles on their faces at the moment.
Zhao Qineng could see the joy and pride in the hearts of the three of them from this smile.
In this urgent situation of rushing ducks to the shelves, no one dropped the chain!
"Are you all right?"
Zhao Qi's concerned inquiry made Zhang Zhenshan smile and shake his head:
"Don't worry, Commander, these people you have found are all good people."
"Supervisor, I never thought that what I learned in that ancient temple in the mountains would come in handy one day."
Wang Wuchen's face still shows the joy of unexpected discovery.
In this battle with hundreds of ghosts, Wang Wuchen's formations, handprints and spells played a vital role.
Zhang Lingyuan remained silent, but at this moment, he had a wonderful experience in his heart that he had never had before.
He no longer needs to face crises alone, and can even trust others to take care of him.
The feeling was unfamiliar, but impressive.
"It's fine!"
Zhao Qi said this sincerely. If someone was in danger during this process, Zhao Qi would feel that it was his responsibility.
Because he found these people one by one. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have embarked on this path, at least not now.
Sometimes Zhao Qi would feel unbearable when he thought that one day they would have to bear this heavy responsibility alone.
But the end is approaching, and it is in line with the old saying that when the world prospers, everyone has a responsibility.
There is always someone who has to take on all this, and they are the most suitable candidates.
The night was so long, but fortunately it was all worth it.
The team members also noticed the strange and handsome face following at the end.
"Supervisor, who is this guy?"
Li Xuanran looked at King Lanling curiously, feeling a little confused about this person appearing here.
Zhao Qi looked back and saw that King Lanling, who was still confused and immersed in his own world, said with some emotion:
"This famous general from Northern Qi is also the culprit of this crisis."
After hearing this, Wang Wuchen, who was frowning, his eyes lit up:
"Northern Qi? Could it be King Lanling?"
Zhao Qi nodded, which made Li Suanran confused:
"Great Immortal, can this thing be calculated?"
Wang Wuchen's tone when he spoke to Li Wanran was no longer as cold as before:
"Don't worry about it, this person has a feminine and handsome face, which is rare to see in the entire history.
During the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was only King Lanling! "
Li Wanran looked at Wang Wuchen with admiration and nodded. As the saying goes, think about what you lack. Li Wanran has always been a little envious of Wang Wuchen's excellent IQ.
"Supervisor, what is going on? Are those we faced before really ghosts?"
Zhang Zhenshan finally asked the doubts in his heart. It was still a few hours before dawn, so Zhao Qi simply sat on a stone next to him, this time so that the team members who had been fighting all night could rest.
"This matter is not complicated at all. You identified it as a hidden danger that was planted when King Lanling died more than 1000 years ago.
People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense. The most taboo thing when people die is to have resentment in their chests.
King Lanling made great achievements throughout his life, but he was always cautious and did not want to get involved in royal disputes.
But in the end, he still ended up being poisoned to death, which made the intense breath in his heart remain in the corpse.
Because of this tone, the corpse will not rot for thousands of years, which is what the people often call it zombie.
But if that were the case, without interference from other external forces, this chaos would not have been caused.
Until the emergence of a special force, the remnant soul of King Lanling returned to his body after walking on the ghost road.
Affected by resentment, this zombie wanted to rebuild the dynasty after resurrection, but it attracted the lonely ghosts on the ghost road. "
After hearing this, Wang Wuchen was the first to realize that something was not right:
"Emperor, whether it is ancient Taoist books or folk fragments, it has been mentioned that ghosts will go to the underworld after death.
You said before that the ghost road is just the only way from the world of heaven to the underworld.
If there was no God in the world, what would the underworld look like now?
Can ghosts after death be reincarnated? Does the underworld exist in order now, or has it already become a mess? "
Wang Wuchen's question was very pointed. Zhao Qi was silent for a few seconds and then sighed and shook his head:
"What you said is not the doubt in my heart.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for so many ghosts to stay on the ghost road. It must be because something happened in the underworld.
I have been thinking about where the gods I have conferred before have gone, and what does their departure mean?
These doubts need to be uncovered step by step, but at least now, we have once again solved the immediate trouble..."
In fact, Zhao Qi did not say everything in his heart, just like the doubts in his heart, it was not just this.
What influence did King Zombie suddenly wake up from after sleeping for thousands of years? Why did the remnant soul lingering on the ghost road suddenly return to the earth and cause such a disaster?
There are also the previous manifestations of Dongshan Prefecture's Feng Shui and natural disasters, which obviously do not refer to the current matter.
What kind of connection is hidden behind this is a puzzle that Zhao Qi is eager to find the answer to.
However, the team members experienced a difficult night, and Zhao Qi did not want to ruin their interest at the moment.
Li Wanran recalled his posture during the battle, and he couldn't hide the joyful expression on his face.
At this moment, he seemed to have regained the feeling he had lost when he was a child.
He really became a knight, drawing his sword to kill the enemy in order to protect the two characters.
"There is the underworld and there are ghosts. My sister must have gone to another world after her death. If one day I am strong enough, I will definitely bring her back and return her to the world!"
With faith in his heart, he has hope for life. Li Wanran was very excited.
Although the enemies they faced caught the team members off guard, at least the final result was good.
After resting for a while, Zhao Qi led his team members gradually towards the outside of the blockade area.
The team members have always been wary of King Lanling, but in fact King Lanling has been immersed in his own world, sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Outside the blockade, Peng Hai, director of the State Secretariat, was waiting anxiously.
This night was so long, and strange phenomena occurred frequently in Langyan Mountain, making it difficult for him not to guess.
"Director, look, someone seems to be coming!"
The voice of the agent came, and Peng Hai quickly looked in the direction pointed.
I saw Zhao Qi and others walking towards this side with their backs to Langyan Mountain. They were talking and laughing along the way, and everyone was happy because they had survived the disaster.
"Supervisor Zhao!"
Peng Hai quickly signaled the agents to open the cordon and ran over quickly.
"Are you okay? Langyan Mountain will never be peaceful this night."
"fine!"
Li Xuanran waved his hand carelessly:
"Have any of you brought any wine? You must have a sip now!"
"This……"
Seeing that Peng Hai looked a little embarrassed, Zhao Qi smiled and helped smooth things over:
"Don't embarrass Director Peng. How could they bring wine with them when they perform their mission? When the mission is over, I will give you a bottle of good wine!"
Li Wanran quickly agreed upon hearing this, and his whole spirit was much better than before.
"Director Peng, the matter has almost been resolved.
There are still a few hours before dawn, we'd better let all the dust settle before dawn.
By the way, find a few agents to go to Langyan Mountain to collect the trees that have been struck by lightning but are still alive. This is a rare treasure for us academicians of the Qintian Supervisory Treasure Refining Division.
Zhao Qi has never forgotten this. The moment he saw those trees, the folk knowledge in Zhao Qi's mind told him that these were rare lightning-struck trees.
The ecological environment on Langyan Mountain is good, and there are many types of animals.
Before Zhao Qi went down the mountain, he took a few glances at the trees struck by lightning. There were many jujube, cypress, and peach trees.
These three are all top-grade among the lightning-struck trees, and they are the supreme divine objects in Taoist Xuanmen magic.
Although this sky thunder was not caused by a tree in the mountain, it is still a rare and high-quality one. If it is handed over to the Treasure Refining Department to refine the magic weapon, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Although Peng Hai didn't know the reason, he had no objection to what Zhao Qi said.
Zhao Qi and others followed Peng Hai back to the Yanhai County Secret Office. King Lanling was carefully locked in an interrogation room, and a large number of agents were deployed outside to guard it again.
Zhao Qi listed several finishing tasks on this matter to Peng Hai in the office. Seeing that there were only a few hours until dawn, Peng Hai immediately began to pass on the orders.
A few hours later, a ray of early sunshine shone on the streets of Yanhai County, awakening the sleeping city.
During this night, most of the citizens stayed up all night.
Even some of them with big hearts were awakened by the rumbling thunder outside.
No one knew what happened that night, but when the sun rose, the citizens stood by the windows and looked outside, and unexpectedly discovered that all the cars patrolling the night All disappeared.
"Everything seems to be normal outside..."
"Can we go out? Why hasn't anyone given us any news?"
"What on earth happened? It was so lively last night, why did it seem like nothing happened at dawn?"
The citizens were confused by this. Some young people who couldn't bear it cautiously opened their doors to test for a long time. After finding that nothing seemed to happen, they gradually took to the streets.
The patrol car has disappeared, and even the portrait of the door god posted on the door by the citizens last night has also disappeared.
All this seems to be a dream shared by all the citizens, but the vision last night is still vivid in my mind, so how could it be fake?
There are more and more citizens on the streets, and various employers have received instructions to start work.
This makes many people feel that the calm in front of them is a bit strange, but they can't put it into words.
Some citizens drove to the highway intersection, only to find that there were no soldiers anywhere at the highway intersection.
Even the defense lines built yesterday disappeared, as if the blockade had never happened.
More and more people are beginning to share their confusion online, and only when they receive responses from others can they tell that what they are experiencing is not an illusion.
"Did you all see what happened last night?"
"The Tixing Division cars that have been patrolling the streets all night have all disappeared early this morning."
"Everyone was asked to post a portrait of the door god on the door yesterday, right? Why did I find that the portrait on the door was gone when I went out today?"
"I also discovered it, and even ran up and down several floors. I don't know who took these portraits away."
"I would like to ask, did you see the strange celestial phenomenon above Langyan Mountain last night? I am a little confused now about what is real and what is fake..."
Yesterday, the whole city was still tense, making all the citizens spend the night in fear.
But when I walked on the street today, it was as if nothing had happened, and all traces had disappeared. How could I not make people wonder if something was wrong with me?
Fortunately, related topics have been recognized by more and more citizens, and even people from Lindao County next door have participated.
"What happened to your Yanhai County last night? Is that normal on Langyan Mountain?"
"I accidentally heard gunshots coming from the direction of Yanhai County. Is there a war or an exercise on your side?"
"Please, please come out and have a local explain it!"
"It's a waste of explanation, we're still wondering!"
The topic related to Yanhai County remains high, and this is the only proof that can convince the public that many things happened last night.
The strange thing is that all topics related to Yanhai County are posted by public accounts.
The official department did not provide any explanation for any actions last night, and the news media also all stopped.
Everyone knows that what can erase all traces overnight must be the intervention of state power.
It is precisely because no one can reach the point of the conversation that these public opinions on the Internet have never been controlled.
In the State Secretariat, Peng Haizheng was carefully ticking a list, which recorded several aftermath plans issued by Zhao Qi.
“First, remove all blockade forces before dawn and restore urban traffic.
Second, cancel the patrol mission, but temporarily detain those who experienced strange things last night.
Third, before dawn, take back all the pictures of Yishan Mountain God posted on the door.Fourth, everyone involved in what happened last night, regardless of department or civilian, must be interviewed individually and sign a confidentiality agreement. "
At dawn, the agents of the State Secret Service had completed the first three follow-up plans issued upon summons.
This last one is in progress and is progressing at a rapid pace.
At this moment, in the Yanhai County Military Region, the commander-in-chief looked at the commander in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time:
"You just said that you encountered strange things while performing the blockade mission. Is it suspected that the evil soldiers took advantage of it?"
Seeing the questioning look on the soldier's face, the commander said anxiously:
"Chief, what I said is true, and all the officers and soldiers involved in the operation can prove it.
I suspect that something big happened in Yanhai County last night, and Qintian Prison may be specially designed to deal with such matters. "
"Dong dong dong..."
Just as the commander finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and then several agents walked in with stern faces, looked at the two of them and said:
"Boy, we have contacted the inspection department and now we are officially inviting you to interview. Please come with us!"
The commander-in-chief frowned, and then looked at the commander in surprise.
They are all within the system, and the commander-in-chief is naturally aware that the State Secret Service is carrying out follow-up work.
Could it be...that the Yin soldiers took advantage of this? Is it true?
……
At the same time, in the Tixing Division headquarters, all the investigators who had been patrolling all night rested in the office with tired faces.
They all experienced more or less bizarre things last night, which made them all doubtful.
“Two people ran out of home last night, saying they saw a ghost, and then we saw a tall building on the road that shouldn’t exist.
According to the rules set by Inspector Zhao, we actually passed through that tall building.
Everything was too realistic to be a hallucination. "
"It's better for you. When I was patrolling yesterday, I suddenly saw an old lady standing on the street.
Out of a responsible attitude, I even got out of the car and asked.
As a result, guess what, the old lady raised her head. She had no face, but a cat face! "
"I seemed to see my dead wife, and she kept reminding me to run away quickly."
When the investigators talked about what they had experienced last night, their expressions were complicated. They could not tell what the events they had experienced were about.
The whole night of bizarre events has left the investigators completely confused, and until now no one has come forward to give an accurate answer.
While they were discussing endlessly, several State Secret Service agents wearing black institutional uniforms walked into the room seriously.
They first took a list, which recorded all the investigators who performed patrol tasks last night.
After the agents entered the room, they began to compare according to the list.
Under everyone's confused gaze, after the agent confirmed that all recorded investigators were present, he signaled the agent at the door to close the door.
"Everyone, everyone worked hard last night.
But according to the procedure, I need you to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that what you saw or experienced last night will not be mentioned here. "
After saying this, the agent issued a confidentiality agreement to everyone.
Looking at the posture of this group of agents, the investigators realized that if they did not sign the confidentiality agreement, they might not be able to get out of this door.
People from the State Secret Service personally intervened and made it clear what happened last night.
Once a confidentiality agreement is signed, it means that the investigators are not allowed to mention it to the outside world, or even talk about it privately.
Although there are still many doubts in their hearts, looking at the attitudes of these agents, it is not difficult for the investigators to realize that what happened last night was very strange, but now someone is interfering, hoping to make all this happen with the dawn of dawn. Arrive and dissipate quickly.
The investigators sighed secretly, and finally signed their names on the confidentiality agreement.
The agents wasted no time and led the team away after collecting the confidential procedures.
Everyone was left sitting here looking at each other, but they couldn't talk about what happened just now.
……
During this period of time, agents from the National Bureau of Investigation entered and exited almost all departments involved in yesterday's case.
They range from the military department to the Xingsi Department, to the village committees, neighborhood committees, etc.
They are trying their best to control the fermentation of public opinion, and of course they have no idea about these people.
There are still many curious discussions on the Internet, and there are even some people with rigorous logic among them who have listed many strange doubts.
"Last night, a beacon suddenly lit up in Langyan Mountain. Under normal circumstances, beacons are lit for early warning.
The question derived from this is, what exactly is this beacon warning?
Secondly, the entire city of Yanhai County was put under lockdown and a curfew was suddenly implemented, and everything was settled at dawn.
What are the relevant departments covering up?
Finally, strange phenomena occur frequently on Langyan Mountain, which does not seem like a reaction that technology can produce.
The entire sky seemed to be divided into two, and thunder continued to strike. Even the people in Lindao County next door could see it clearly.
What happened on Langyan Mountain? "
These are the three issues that most people are most concerned about. Almost all discussion forums on the Internet are discussing these three topics endlessly.
More and more people from other counties and cities couldn't help but ask questions when they saw the commotion in Yanhai County.
But among the answers from local citizens, the most common sentence is "Our entire city seems to have suddenly been hit by evil spirits!"
Netizens don’t know that every statement they make is actually monitored by agents of the State Secret Service.
Although they have not received an order to intervene, they still have to control the direction of public opinion at all times to ensure that there will be no other uncontrolled accidents that will expand the influence of this incident.
Citizens have returned to their normal lives, and the entire city has returned to its normal rhythm.
But this reality with an obvious sense of fragmentation fills everyone's mind with doubts.
It was so lively last night, but suddenly everything was normal during the day. It felt like a pair of invisible hands were erasing all important clues.
Some young citizens were also curious to go to the Langyan Mountain area to take a look, but only after they arrived did they find that the area was blocked.
There are construction crews working on the streets, making it impossible for anyone to go to Langyan Mountain in a short time.
Everything is too coincidental, but as an ordinary person, even if he feels that something is fishy, what can he do?
……
Peng Hai took the document and came to the temporarily vacated lounge, where Zhao Qi was holding a meeting with the team members to summarize the operation.
"Inspector Zhao, we have completed all the aftermath work as you said..."
He handed the document in his hand to Zhao Qi, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for Zhao Qi's review.
After a moment, Zhao Qi nodded and said approvingly:
"This way everything is foolproof. As for the citizens, they just need a little time and they will forget about it.
This matter is not suitable for publicity yet, so remember to control the public opinion on the Internet a little. If there is any bad trend, some people will want to use this to spread rumors, so you must intervene in time. "
"Don't worry, Inspector Zhao!"
Peng Hai nodded, but did not leave immediately, obviously he had something to say.
Zhao Qi looked at Peng Hai again with some curiosity, then he quickly smiled and said:
"Inspector Zhao, although the outside world doesn't know what happened last night, I see everything you do.
Now that the matter has been settled, please be sure to stay for dinner tonight.
You must have never tasted the canteen of our State Secret Service..."
Zhao Qi did not refuse Peng Hai's kindness. Seeing that Zhao Qi agreed, Peng Hai hurriedly left the office to prepare.
In the lounge, the team members had changed into new clothes and washed the dirt on their bodies. Everyone looked in high spirits.
At the same time, they were in a good mood because the first mission they participated in was successfully completed.
Zhao Qi routinely needed to make an overall summary after the action, but in the process, he did not hesitate to express his satisfaction to the team members.
"This operation is not easy for you. You are still able to successfully complete this mission even though you have not undergone systematic and rigorous training. To be honest, even I am a little surprised.
I think you are ready now, so I will cancel all remaining basic courses after returning to Qintian Prison.
I have developed different training plans for each of you, according to each of your characteristics, to improve your strength in the shortest time. "
Zhao Qi's words made several people's eyes light up. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
In Zhao Qi's view, this team has finally begun to unite. Although Feng Qiqi is still a variable, at least through this operation, it can be seen that Feng Qiqi will not be the one holding back at the critical moment.
Compared to others, Zhao Qi knew nothing about Feng Qiqi's past.
But this requires a process and there is no rush.
"Supervisor, I have always had a doubt, why am I suddenly able to use the formations and hand seals recorded in Taoist classics?"
Wang Wuchen finally asked the most confusing question in his mind. When he was in the Taoist temple, Wang Wuchen practiced those mudras and recited those mantras more than once, but no strange phenomena appeared.
This question made Zhao Qi's face darken slightly. In fact, he was also thinking about this matter:
"Being able to use these spells is partly due to your personal talent, and partly also because the Yin energy filled the air last night, which has already subverted the normal order of laws..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qi did not say any more, but more doubts arose in his heart.
The yin energy was so strong that it had begun to turn into calamity energy. Could it really be the work of King Lanling?
Whether it is a thousand-year-old dead king like King Lanling, or the previous fox demon or snake spirit, at most they are just local spirits.
After all, they were born here, and they would still have many constraints due to the environment.
For example, if the spiritual energy is weak, the cultivation speed will be slow.
Or you can breathe in the light of the sun and moon to generate spiritual energy on your own, and use this to practice cultivation.
Theoretically, it's impossible for them to cause so much damage.
Gu Zhao Qi's understanding is that only those demons that invade this place have the ability to mobilize the tribulation energy.
Regardless of the difference between Yin Qi and Jie Qi, there is only one word difference between them, but there is a huge difference between them.
This is why after the full-scale invasion of monsters, these local spirits can only be reduced to food or sacrifices, and their fate is even worse than that of humans.
Zhao Qi has never found the answer to this point, because the incident involving King Lanling is a variable.
It was Zhao Qi who changed the future development, thus creating the butterfly effect.
From a macro perspective, Zhao Qi is now leading mankind towards a new future direction.
More and more unexpected things may happen in the future, so Zhao Qi must be fully prepared.
After the meeting, the other team members went to rest one after another. Only Zhao Qi was still standing by the window, looking at the city that was ushering in the dawn again, his brows furrowed more and more.
why?
The matter has obviously been resolved, but why do I always feel uneasy?
I always feel that this matter is not that simple...
Zhao Qi, whose thoughts were confused, urgently needed an opportunity to help him sort out his thoughts, and King Lanling might be the most suitable candidate.
Zhao Qi soon arrived at the place where Prince Lanling was imprisoned. This was a simple interrogation room that Zhao Qi was very familiar with.
He once sat in such a room, but now he changed from being questioned to being questioned.
Prince Lanling has been sitting on the chair without moving since he came to this room.
He kept sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, which was the same as Zhao Qi's situation.
Only after Zhao Qi sat across from King Lanling and spoke did the other party notice his presence.
"Prince Lanling, I need to know what exactly you have been through?"
Zhao Qi asked him his doubts straight to the point, and King Lanling was very cooperative. Because his thoughts were very confusing, it was inevitable that he would be a little off-topic when he spoke.
“I remember a road that had no end and was always dark.
I seemed to be able to hear a sound. I chased that sound and ended up here unknowingly.
Then, there is anger, resentment, and out of control..."
Zhao Qineng could hear the confusion in King Lanling's tone, and at the same time he also caught the strangest part of this sentence.
"The road you mentioned should be the ghost road. You said you were chasing a sound and ended up here unknowingly?
But there is a clear line between yin and yang, and it will be difficult to return to yang if you embark on the path of ghosts.
Only in the middle of July every year does the boundary between Yin and Yang become weak, and it is possible to stay in the Yang world for just a few hours.
But not only did you return to the earth, but because of the military palace, you had been nourished by the yin energy for thousands of years in the tomb, and the ghost soldier talisman you turned into attracted ghost soldiers and generals, and even the lonely ghosts who stayed on the ghost road returned to the yang.
You don’t know these things? "
King Lanling looked at Zhao Qi blankly, as if he was listening to a story that happened to someone else.
Zhao Qi chatted with him for a long time, but did not draw any valid conclusions.
It wasn't until dusk that Peng Hai came to say that the meals had been prepared in the cafeteria, and Zhao Qi reluctantly ended the conversation.
The group of people came to the cafeteria. Due to the principle of confidentiality, all the agents had early meal times, so that now there were only Zhao Qi, others and Peng Hai in the cafeteria.
Compared to Zhao Qi, all the team members were in a better mood, and they all started to be rude to the food on this table.
Zhao Qi also politely picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites of the food, but his heart was still filled with doubts and could not settle down.
Another night, everything seemed to have settled, and everything seemed to be telling Zhao Qi. Even though the doubts in his heart had not been answered yet, it seemed harmless.
After the meal, the team members all went to their respective lounges under Peng Hai's personal arrangement, and Zhao Qi was also assigned to a spacious and clean room.
But Zhao Qi did not lie on the bed, but sat on a chair with his arms folded, thinking a lot in the room without the lights on.
The scariest thing about the butterfly effect is that any small change may bring unforeseen consequences.
Zhao Qi now feels like a lone boat in the vast ocean. Although he can feel that he is moving forward, he doesn't know which direction he is going.
The ten-year plan itself was a bet he made on the life and death of all mankind, but starting from the incident with King Lanling, it seemed to indicate that Zhao Qi had reached a turning point that would change the future.
Zhao Qi should have been happy about this, but the unanswered questions in his mind made him more worried.
Unconsciously, it was midnight, and Wang Wuchen came out of the room yawning to go to the toilet.
But just as he was passing by the corridor, he saw a graceful figure standing by the window in the moonlight.
Wang Wuchen rubbed his eyes with some doubts. After confirming that it was Feng Qiqi standing there, he walked over with some doubts.
After getting closer, Wang Wuchen noticed that Feng Qiqi actually had a cigarette between her fingertips and was puffing out the smoke skillfully.
"Why didn't I notice before that you still smoke?"
What Wang Wuchen didn't expect was that when he heard the voice behind him, Feng Qiqi turned around and looked over. But the moment their eyes met, Wang Wuchen just felt that these eyes were very strange.
"who are you?"
Wang Wuchen was startled, Feng Qiqi would actually ask this question?
"Are you okay? Why do I think there's something weird about you?"
Wang Wuchen looked at Feng Qiqi with sharp eyes. He couldn't explain this feeling, but his intuition told Wang Wuchen that there must be something wrong with Wang Qiqi.
Feng Qiqi didn't speak, she just put out the cigarette in her hand skillfully, then turned and walked towards her room.
But before approaching the door, Feng Qiqi looked back at Wang Wuchen, her eyes full of doubts.
strangeness……
Wang Wuchen frowned and came to where Feng Qiqi was standing just now. He picked up the stubbed out cigarette butt and looked at it.
At that moment, Wang Wuchen saw a pair of very unfamiliar eyes.
But what is going on here?
Wang Wuchen left here with doubts and did not notice that soon after, there were bursts of whispers in Feng Qiqi's room.
……
At dawn the next day, the team members gathered in the conference room again.
According to the plan, they will return to Qintian Prison with Zhao Qi today.
Peng Hai repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Zhao Qi. Although he didn't know the specific details, he could tell from the discussions among everyone that they saved Yanhai County that night.
"Director Peng, I'm serious, this is what we should do.
The finishing work is currently quite effective, but please pay more attention to online entertainment and don't let the situation worsen.
The intensity of control must be carefully considered so that the public does not feel that there is no 300 taels of silver in this place. "
"Don't worry, Inspector Zhao, we know what's going on."
Peng Hai sent Zhao Qi and others outside, but soon several agents hurriedly walked towards them.
"Director, there are fishermen who reported to the officer. They said something very strange, as if they were expressing that there was a small island that suddenly disappeared..."
"what?"
Peng Hai had no reaction yet, but Zhao Qi felt a roar in his mind.
wrong!
Is the island migration not over yet?
Doesn't this mean that the changes in Dongshan County's feng shui and the warning of natural disasters have nothing to do with King Lanling?
Zhao Qi froze on the spot, and with the thoughts in his heart, the shock on his face became clearer and clearer...
(End of this chapter)
Feng Qiqi was obviously not used to being so close to others, so Zhao Qineng could feel that her body was stiff and a little disoriented.
Zhao Qi and King Zombie have been fighting until now. Although they are not at the end of their strength, they have also consumed a lot of physical energy.
He was breathing heavily, and the air kept brushing against Feng Qiqi's cheek, which made her feel a little awkward, but she didn't make any movement.
"Feng Qiqi, how did you know that the charm was fake?"
Zhao Qi asked abruptly, which made Feng Qiqi startled for a moment, but then her expression became normal.
"This is a woman's talent..."
Feng Qiqi did not answer the question directly, and Zhao Qi did not ask further. What he wanted to know more was the answer to another question.
"Since you knew, why didn't you leave?"
Feng Qiqi was silent for a few seconds, which was also her own doubt.
I don't know since when, the idea of leaving here was no longer so strong in her heart.
A somewhat complicated light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the mountain road in front of her dissociatedly, but she did not answer Zhao Qi's question.
He just let go of Zhao Qi and quickened his pace, deliberately avoiding talking about himself.
Looking at Feng Qiqi walking alone in front, Zhao Qi couldn't help feeling helpless.
Creatures like women are really elusive.
The battle just now left Langyan Mountain in a state of devastation, the woods collapsed, and many trees were struck by lightning, almost causing wildfires.
The outer layers of the charred trees were slightly peeled off, but in Zhao Qi's eyes, these trees were priceless treasures.
Walking along the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain, Zhao Qi saw Li Wanran lying on the ground from a distance.
"Sad!"
Zhao Qi was startled, and his steps accelerated a lot.
He knew it was too much to put the team members in such a crisis, but along the way, he always retained some faith.
They'll be fine.
They are the team members I personally selected, so nothing will happen to them!
But when Zhao Qi saw Li Wanran lying on the ground, he was still confused.
He quickly came to Li Wanran's side, hesitantly stretched out his hand and put it on Li Wanran's shoulder.
"Sad, sad!"
Li Wanran's clothes were stained red with blood, and there were many possessed corpses lying around him.
The common feature of these corpses is that their heads were chopped off.
Of course, there are many intact bodies among them, and these people are all possessed villagers.
Seeing this, Zhao Qi understood that the team members had been strictly following his instructions and had not harmed any civilians.
Feng Qiqi stood behind Zhao Qi, looking at Li Wanran who was covered in blood, with some confusion on her face.
They are really trying their best...
For something that has nothing to do with you, for a light command?
Even at the expense of his own life?
Feng Qiqi didn't understand. This behavior, which she thought was stupid, now deeply touched her heart.
why?
Feng Qiqi just tilted her head slightly and looked at Zhao Qi and Li Wanran, whose life or death was uncertain, in confusion.
This also put a big question mark in her heart.
"Supervisor... Supervisor..."
At this moment, Li Suanran opened his eyes weakly. The moment he saw Zhao Qi, he couldn't even believe that this was true.
"Emissary...did we succeed?"
Li Wanran endured the severe pain in his body, but still paid attention to the results of the mission.
Zhao Qi nodded solemnly and squeezed out a smile while suppressing the emotion in his heart:
"It worked, you did it."
Fortunately, Li Wanran was not seriously ill. Although he suffered some injuries, they were not life-threatening, but he was just a little weak.
Zhao Qi grabbed Li Wanran's arm, and Li Wanran soon felt a warm current flowing down his arm into his body, and the weak feeling of exhaustion was relieved.
He picked up the Dragon Song Sword scattered beside him and stood up with force. Zhao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about the rest?"
Just as Zhao Qihua's voice fell, Zhang Zhenshan's voice came from the distance.
Several people looked around and saw Zhang Zhenshan, Wang Wuchen, and Zhang Lingyuan walking towards each other, supporting each other.
The three of them all looked quite embarrassed, but they all had smiles on their faces at the moment.
Zhao Qineng could see the joy and pride in the hearts of the three of them from this smile.
In this urgent situation of rushing ducks to the shelves, no one dropped the chain!
"Are you all right?"
Zhao Qi's concerned inquiry made Zhang Zhenshan smile and shake his head:
"Don't worry, Commander, these people you have found are all good people."
"Supervisor, I never thought that what I learned in that ancient temple in the mountains would come in handy one day."
Wang Wuchen's face still shows the joy of unexpected discovery.
In this battle with hundreds of ghosts, Wang Wuchen's formations, handprints and spells played a vital role.
Zhang Lingyuan remained silent, but at this moment, he had a wonderful experience in his heart that he had never had before.
He no longer needs to face crises alone, and can even trust others to take care of him.
The feeling was unfamiliar, but impressive.
"It's fine!"
Zhao Qi said this sincerely. If someone was in danger during this process, Zhao Qi would feel that it was his responsibility.
Because he found these people one by one. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have embarked on this path, at least not now.
Sometimes Zhao Qi would feel unbearable when he thought that one day they would have to bear this heavy responsibility alone.
But the end is approaching, and it is in line with the old saying that when the world prospers, everyone has a responsibility.
There is always someone who has to take on all this, and they are the most suitable candidates.
The night was so long, but fortunately it was all worth it.
The team members also noticed the strange and handsome face following at the end.
"Supervisor, who is this guy?"
Li Xuanran looked at King Lanling curiously, feeling a little confused about this person appearing here.
Zhao Qi looked back and saw that King Lanling, who was still confused and immersed in his own world, said with some emotion:
"This famous general from Northern Qi is also the culprit of this crisis."
After hearing this, Wang Wuchen, who was frowning, his eyes lit up:
"Northern Qi? Could it be King Lanling?"
Zhao Qi nodded, which made Li Suanran confused:
"Great Immortal, can this thing be calculated?"
Wang Wuchen's tone when he spoke to Li Wanran was no longer as cold as before:
"Don't worry about it, this person has a feminine and handsome face, which is rare to see in the entire history.
During the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was only King Lanling! "
Li Wanran looked at Wang Wuchen with admiration and nodded. As the saying goes, think about what you lack. Li Wanran has always been a little envious of Wang Wuchen's excellent IQ.
"Supervisor, what is going on? Are those we faced before really ghosts?"
Zhang Zhenshan finally asked the doubts in his heart. It was still a few hours before dawn, so Zhao Qi simply sat on a stone next to him, this time so that the team members who had been fighting all night could rest.
"This matter is not complicated at all. You identified it as a hidden danger that was planted when King Lanling died more than 1000 years ago.
People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense. The most taboo thing when people die is to have resentment in their chests.
King Lanling made great achievements throughout his life, but he was always cautious and did not want to get involved in royal disputes.
But in the end, he still ended up being poisoned to death, which made the intense breath in his heart remain in the corpse.
Because of this tone, the corpse will not rot for thousands of years, which is what the people often call it zombie.
But if that were the case, without interference from other external forces, this chaos would not have been caused.
Until the emergence of a special force, the remnant soul of King Lanling returned to his body after walking on the ghost road.
Affected by resentment, this zombie wanted to rebuild the dynasty after resurrection, but it attracted the lonely ghosts on the ghost road. "
After hearing this, Wang Wuchen was the first to realize that something was not right:
"Emperor, whether it is ancient Taoist books or folk fragments, it has been mentioned that ghosts will go to the underworld after death.
You said before that the ghost road is just the only way from the world of heaven to the underworld.
If there was no God in the world, what would the underworld look like now?
Can ghosts after death be reincarnated? Does the underworld exist in order now, or has it already become a mess? "
Wang Wuchen's question was very pointed. Zhao Qi was silent for a few seconds and then sighed and shook his head:
"What you said is not the doubt in my heart.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for so many ghosts to stay on the ghost road. It must be because something happened in the underworld.
I have been thinking about where the gods I have conferred before have gone, and what does their departure mean?
These doubts need to be uncovered step by step, but at least now, we have once again solved the immediate trouble..."
In fact, Zhao Qi did not say everything in his heart, just like the doubts in his heart, it was not just this.
What influence did King Zombie suddenly wake up from after sleeping for thousands of years? Why did the remnant soul lingering on the ghost road suddenly return to the earth and cause such a disaster?
There are also the previous manifestations of Dongshan Prefecture's Feng Shui and natural disasters, which obviously do not refer to the current matter.
What kind of connection is hidden behind this is a puzzle that Zhao Qi is eager to find the answer to.
However, the team members experienced a difficult night, and Zhao Qi did not want to ruin their interest at the moment.
Li Wanran recalled his posture during the battle, and he couldn't hide the joyful expression on his face.
At this moment, he seemed to have regained the feeling he had lost when he was a child.
He really became a knight, drawing his sword to kill the enemy in order to protect the two characters.
"There is the underworld and there are ghosts. My sister must have gone to another world after her death. If one day I am strong enough, I will definitely bring her back and return her to the world!"
With faith in his heart, he has hope for life. Li Wanran was very excited.
Although the enemies they faced caught the team members off guard, at least the final result was good.
After resting for a while, Zhao Qi led his team members gradually towards the outside of the blockade area.
The team members have always been wary of King Lanling, but in fact King Lanling has been immersed in his own world, sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Outside the blockade, Peng Hai, director of the State Secretariat, was waiting anxiously.
This night was so long, and strange phenomena occurred frequently in Langyan Mountain, making it difficult for him not to guess.
"Director, look, someone seems to be coming!"
The voice of the agent came, and Peng Hai quickly looked in the direction pointed.
I saw Zhao Qi and others walking towards this side with their backs to Langyan Mountain. They were talking and laughing along the way, and everyone was happy because they had survived the disaster.
"Supervisor Zhao!"
Peng Hai quickly signaled the agents to open the cordon and ran over quickly.
"Are you okay? Langyan Mountain will never be peaceful this night."
"fine!"
Li Xuanran waved his hand carelessly:
"Have any of you brought any wine? You must have a sip now!"
"This……"
Seeing that Peng Hai looked a little embarrassed, Zhao Qi smiled and helped smooth things over:
"Don't embarrass Director Peng. How could they bring wine with them when they perform their mission? When the mission is over, I will give you a bottle of good wine!"
Li Wanran quickly agreed upon hearing this, and his whole spirit was much better than before.
"Director Peng, the matter has almost been resolved.
There are still a few hours before dawn, we'd better let all the dust settle before dawn.
By the way, find a few agents to go to Langyan Mountain to collect the trees that have been struck by lightning but are still alive. This is a rare treasure for us academicians of the Qintian Supervisory Treasure Refining Division.
Zhao Qi has never forgotten this. The moment he saw those trees, the folk knowledge in Zhao Qi's mind told him that these were rare lightning-struck trees.
The ecological environment on Langyan Mountain is good, and there are many types of animals.
Before Zhao Qi went down the mountain, he took a few glances at the trees struck by lightning. There were many jujube, cypress, and peach trees.
These three are all top-grade among the lightning-struck trees, and they are the supreme divine objects in Taoist Xuanmen magic.
Although this sky thunder was not caused by a tree in the mountain, it is still a rare and high-quality one. If it is handed over to the Treasure Refining Department to refine the magic weapon, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Although Peng Hai didn't know the reason, he had no objection to what Zhao Qi said.
Zhao Qi and others followed Peng Hai back to the Yanhai County Secret Office. King Lanling was carefully locked in an interrogation room, and a large number of agents were deployed outside to guard it again.
Zhao Qi listed several finishing tasks on this matter to Peng Hai in the office. Seeing that there were only a few hours until dawn, Peng Hai immediately began to pass on the orders.
A few hours later, a ray of early sunshine shone on the streets of Yanhai County, awakening the sleeping city.
During this night, most of the citizens stayed up all night.
Even some of them with big hearts were awakened by the rumbling thunder outside.
No one knew what happened that night, but when the sun rose, the citizens stood by the windows and looked outside, and unexpectedly discovered that all the cars patrolling the night All disappeared.
"Everything seems to be normal outside..."
"Can we go out? Why hasn't anyone given us any news?"
"What on earth happened? It was so lively last night, why did it seem like nothing happened at dawn?"
The citizens were confused by this. Some young people who couldn't bear it cautiously opened their doors to test for a long time. After finding that nothing seemed to happen, they gradually took to the streets.
The patrol car has disappeared, and even the portrait of the door god posted on the door by the citizens last night has also disappeared.
All this seems to be a dream shared by all the citizens, but the vision last night is still vivid in my mind, so how could it be fake?
There are more and more citizens on the streets, and various employers have received instructions to start work.
This makes many people feel that the calm in front of them is a bit strange, but they can't put it into words.
Some citizens drove to the highway intersection, only to find that there were no soldiers anywhere at the highway intersection.
Even the defense lines built yesterday disappeared, as if the blockade had never happened.
More and more people are beginning to share their confusion online, and only when they receive responses from others can they tell that what they are experiencing is not an illusion.
"Did you all see what happened last night?"
"The Tixing Division cars that have been patrolling the streets all night have all disappeared early this morning."
"Everyone was asked to post a portrait of the door god on the door yesterday, right? Why did I find that the portrait on the door was gone when I went out today?"
"I also discovered it, and even ran up and down several floors. I don't know who took these portraits away."
"I would like to ask, did you see the strange celestial phenomenon above Langyan Mountain last night? I am a little confused now about what is real and what is fake..."
Yesterday, the whole city was still tense, making all the citizens spend the night in fear.
But when I walked on the street today, it was as if nothing had happened, and all traces had disappeared. How could I not make people wonder if something was wrong with me?
Fortunately, related topics have been recognized by more and more citizens, and even people from Lindao County next door have participated.
"What happened to your Yanhai County last night? Is that normal on Langyan Mountain?"
"I accidentally heard gunshots coming from the direction of Yanhai County. Is there a war or an exercise on your side?"
"Please, please come out and have a local explain it!"
"It's a waste of explanation, we're still wondering!"
The topic related to Yanhai County remains high, and this is the only proof that can convince the public that many things happened last night.
The strange thing is that all topics related to Yanhai County are posted by public accounts.
The official department did not provide any explanation for any actions last night, and the news media also all stopped.
Everyone knows that what can erase all traces overnight must be the intervention of state power.
It is precisely because no one can reach the point of the conversation that these public opinions on the Internet have never been controlled.
In the State Secretariat, Peng Haizheng was carefully ticking a list, which recorded several aftermath plans issued by Zhao Qi.
“First, remove all blockade forces before dawn and restore urban traffic.
Second, cancel the patrol mission, but temporarily detain those who experienced strange things last night.
Third, before dawn, take back all the pictures of Yishan Mountain God posted on the door.Fourth, everyone involved in what happened last night, regardless of department or civilian, must be interviewed individually and sign a confidentiality agreement. "
At dawn, the agents of the State Secret Service had completed the first three follow-up plans issued upon summons.
This last one is in progress and is progressing at a rapid pace.
At this moment, in the Yanhai County Military Region, the commander-in-chief looked at the commander in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time:
"You just said that you encountered strange things while performing the blockade mission. Is it suspected that the evil soldiers took advantage of it?"
Seeing the questioning look on the soldier's face, the commander said anxiously:
"Chief, what I said is true, and all the officers and soldiers involved in the operation can prove it.
I suspect that something big happened in Yanhai County last night, and Qintian Prison may be specially designed to deal with such matters. "
"Dong dong dong..."
Just as the commander finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and then several agents walked in with stern faces, looked at the two of them and said:
"Boy, we have contacted the inspection department and now we are officially inviting you to interview. Please come with us!"
The commander-in-chief frowned, and then looked at the commander in surprise.
They are all within the system, and the commander-in-chief is naturally aware that the State Secret Service is carrying out follow-up work.
Could it be...that the Yin soldiers took advantage of this? Is it true?
……
At the same time, in the Tixing Division headquarters, all the investigators who had been patrolling all night rested in the office with tired faces.
They all experienced more or less bizarre things last night, which made them all doubtful.
“Two people ran out of home last night, saying they saw a ghost, and then we saw a tall building on the road that shouldn’t exist.
According to the rules set by Inspector Zhao, we actually passed through that tall building.
Everything was too realistic to be a hallucination. "
"It's better for you. When I was patrolling yesterday, I suddenly saw an old lady standing on the street.
Out of a responsible attitude, I even got out of the car and asked.
As a result, guess what, the old lady raised her head. She had no face, but a cat face! "
"I seemed to see my dead wife, and she kept reminding me to run away quickly."
When the investigators talked about what they had experienced last night, their expressions were complicated. They could not tell what the events they had experienced were about.
The whole night of bizarre events has left the investigators completely confused, and until now no one has come forward to give an accurate answer.
While they were discussing endlessly, several State Secret Service agents wearing black institutional uniforms walked into the room seriously.
They first took a list, which recorded all the investigators who performed patrol tasks last night.
After the agents entered the room, they began to compare according to the list.
Under everyone's confused gaze, after the agent confirmed that all recorded investigators were present, he signaled the agent at the door to close the door.
"Everyone, everyone worked hard last night.
But according to the procedure, I need you to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that what you saw or experienced last night will not be mentioned here. "
After saying this, the agent issued a confidentiality agreement to everyone.
Looking at the posture of this group of agents, the investigators realized that if they did not sign the confidentiality agreement, they might not be able to get out of this door.
People from the State Secret Service personally intervened and made it clear what happened last night.
Once a confidentiality agreement is signed, it means that the investigators are not allowed to mention it to the outside world, or even talk about it privately.
Although there are still many doubts in their hearts, looking at the attitudes of these agents, it is not difficult for the investigators to realize that what happened last night was very strange, but now someone is interfering, hoping to make all this happen with the dawn of dawn. Arrive and dissipate quickly.
The investigators sighed secretly, and finally signed their names on the confidentiality agreement.
The agents wasted no time and led the team away after collecting the confidential procedures.
Everyone was left sitting here looking at each other, but they couldn't talk about what happened just now.
……
During this period of time, agents from the National Bureau of Investigation entered and exited almost all departments involved in yesterday's case.
They range from the military department to the Xingsi Department, to the village committees, neighborhood committees, etc.
They are trying their best to control the fermentation of public opinion, and of course they have no idea about these people.
There are still many curious discussions on the Internet, and there are even some people with rigorous logic among them who have listed many strange doubts.
"Last night, a beacon suddenly lit up in Langyan Mountain. Under normal circumstances, beacons are lit for early warning.
The question derived from this is, what exactly is this beacon warning?
Secondly, the entire city of Yanhai County was put under lockdown and a curfew was suddenly implemented, and everything was settled at dawn.
What are the relevant departments covering up?
Finally, strange phenomena occur frequently on Langyan Mountain, which does not seem like a reaction that technology can produce.
The entire sky seemed to be divided into two, and thunder continued to strike. Even the people in Lindao County next door could see it clearly.
What happened on Langyan Mountain? "
These are the three issues that most people are most concerned about. Almost all discussion forums on the Internet are discussing these three topics endlessly.
More and more people from other counties and cities couldn't help but ask questions when they saw the commotion in Yanhai County.
But among the answers from local citizens, the most common sentence is "Our entire city seems to have suddenly been hit by evil spirits!"
Netizens don’t know that every statement they make is actually monitored by agents of the State Secret Service.
Although they have not received an order to intervene, they still have to control the direction of public opinion at all times to ensure that there will be no other uncontrolled accidents that will expand the influence of this incident.
Citizens have returned to their normal lives, and the entire city has returned to its normal rhythm.
But this reality with an obvious sense of fragmentation fills everyone's mind with doubts.
It was so lively last night, but suddenly everything was normal during the day. It felt like a pair of invisible hands were erasing all important clues.
Some young citizens were also curious to go to the Langyan Mountain area to take a look, but only after they arrived did they find that the area was blocked.
There are construction crews working on the streets, making it impossible for anyone to go to Langyan Mountain in a short time.
Everything is too coincidental, but as an ordinary person, even if he feels that something is fishy, what can he do?
……
Peng Hai took the document and came to the temporarily vacated lounge, where Zhao Qi was holding a meeting with the team members to summarize the operation.
"Inspector Zhao, we have completed all the aftermath work as you said..."
He handed the document in his hand to Zhao Qi, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for Zhao Qi's review.
After a moment, Zhao Qi nodded and said approvingly:
"This way everything is foolproof. As for the citizens, they just need a little time and they will forget about it.
This matter is not suitable for publicity yet, so remember to control the public opinion on the Internet a little. If there is any bad trend, some people will want to use this to spread rumors, so you must intervene in time. "
"Don't worry, Inspector Zhao!"
Peng Hai nodded, but did not leave immediately, obviously he had something to say.
Zhao Qi looked at Peng Hai again with some curiosity, then he quickly smiled and said:
"Inspector Zhao, although the outside world doesn't know what happened last night, I see everything you do.
Now that the matter has been settled, please be sure to stay for dinner tonight.
You must have never tasted the canteen of our State Secret Service..."
Zhao Qi did not refuse Peng Hai's kindness. Seeing that Zhao Qi agreed, Peng Hai hurriedly left the office to prepare.
In the lounge, the team members had changed into new clothes and washed the dirt on their bodies. Everyone looked in high spirits.
At the same time, they were in a good mood because the first mission they participated in was successfully completed.
Zhao Qi routinely needed to make an overall summary after the action, but in the process, he did not hesitate to express his satisfaction to the team members.
"This operation is not easy for you. You are still able to successfully complete this mission even though you have not undergone systematic and rigorous training. To be honest, even I am a little surprised.
I think you are ready now, so I will cancel all remaining basic courses after returning to Qintian Prison.
I have developed different training plans for each of you, according to each of your characteristics, to improve your strength in the shortest time. "
Zhao Qi's words made several people's eyes light up. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
In Zhao Qi's view, this team has finally begun to unite. Although Feng Qiqi is still a variable, at least through this operation, it can be seen that Feng Qiqi will not be the one holding back at the critical moment.
Compared to others, Zhao Qi knew nothing about Feng Qiqi's past.
But this requires a process and there is no rush.
"Supervisor, I have always had a doubt, why am I suddenly able to use the formations and hand seals recorded in Taoist classics?"
Wang Wuchen finally asked the most confusing question in his mind. When he was in the Taoist temple, Wang Wuchen practiced those mudras and recited those mantras more than once, but no strange phenomena appeared.
This question made Zhao Qi's face darken slightly. In fact, he was also thinking about this matter:
"Being able to use these spells is partly due to your personal talent, and partly also because the Yin energy filled the air last night, which has already subverted the normal order of laws..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qi did not say any more, but more doubts arose in his heart.
The yin energy was so strong that it had begun to turn into calamity energy. Could it really be the work of King Lanling?
Whether it is a thousand-year-old dead king like King Lanling, or the previous fox demon or snake spirit, at most they are just local spirits.
After all, they were born here, and they would still have many constraints due to the environment.
For example, if the spiritual energy is weak, the cultivation speed will be slow.
Or you can breathe in the light of the sun and moon to generate spiritual energy on your own, and use this to practice cultivation.
Theoretically, it's impossible for them to cause so much damage.
Gu Zhao Qi's understanding is that only those demons that invade this place have the ability to mobilize the tribulation energy.
Regardless of the difference between Yin Qi and Jie Qi, there is only one word difference between them, but there is a huge difference between them.
This is why after the full-scale invasion of monsters, these local spirits can only be reduced to food or sacrifices, and their fate is even worse than that of humans.
Zhao Qi has never found the answer to this point, because the incident involving King Lanling is a variable.
It was Zhao Qi who changed the future development, thus creating the butterfly effect.
From a macro perspective, Zhao Qi is now leading mankind towards a new future direction.
More and more unexpected things may happen in the future, so Zhao Qi must be fully prepared.
After the meeting, the other team members went to rest one after another. Only Zhao Qi was still standing by the window, looking at the city that was ushering in the dawn again, his brows furrowed more and more.
why?
The matter has obviously been resolved, but why do I always feel uneasy?
I always feel that this matter is not that simple...
Zhao Qi, whose thoughts were confused, urgently needed an opportunity to help him sort out his thoughts, and King Lanling might be the most suitable candidate.
Zhao Qi soon arrived at the place where Prince Lanling was imprisoned. This was a simple interrogation room that Zhao Qi was very familiar with.
He once sat in such a room, but now he changed from being questioned to being questioned.
Prince Lanling has been sitting on the chair without moving since he came to this room.
He kept sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, which was the same as Zhao Qi's situation.
Only after Zhao Qi sat across from King Lanling and spoke did the other party notice his presence.
"Prince Lanling, I need to know what exactly you have been through?"
Zhao Qi asked him his doubts straight to the point, and King Lanling was very cooperative. Because his thoughts were very confusing, it was inevitable that he would be a little off-topic when he spoke.
“I remember a road that had no end and was always dark.
I seemed to be able to hear a sound. I chased that sound and ended up here unknowingly.
Then, there is anger, resentment, and out of control..."
Zhao Qineng could hear the confusion in King Lanling's tone, and at the same time he also caught the strangest part of this sentence.
"The road you mentioned should be the ghost road. You said you were chasing a sound and ended up here unknowingly?
But there is a clear line between yin and yang, and it will be difficult to return to yang if you embark on the path of ghosts.
Only in the middle of July every year does the boundary between Yin and Yang become weak, and it is possible to stay in the Yang world for just a few hours.
But not only did you return to the earth, but because of the military palace, you had been nourished by the yin energy for thousands of years in the tomb, and the ghost soldier talisman you turned into attracted ghost soldiers and generals, and even the lonely ghosts who stayed on the ghost road returned to the yang.
You don’t know these things? "
King Lanling looked at Zhao Qi blankly, as if he was listening to a story that happened to someone else.
Zhao Qi chatted with him for a long time, but did not draw any valid conclusions.
It wasn't until dusk that Peng Hai came to say that the meals had been prepared in the cafeteria, and Zhao Qi reluctantly ended the conversation.
The group of people came to the cafeteria. Due to the principle of confidentiality, all the agents had early meal times, so that now there were only Zhao Qi, others and Peng Hai in the cafeteria.
Compared to Zhao Qi, all the team members were in a better mood, and they all started to be rude to the food on this table.
Zhao Qi also politely picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites of the food, but his heart was still filled with doubts and could not settle down.
Another night, everything seemed to have settled, and everything seemed to be telling Zhao Qi. Even though the doubts in his heart had not been answered yet, it seemed harmless.
After the meal, the team members all went to their respective lounges under Peng Hai's personal arrangement, and Zhao Qi was also assigned to a spacious and clean room.
But Zhao Qi did not lie on the bed, but sat on a chair with his arms folded, thinking a lot in the room without the lights on.
The scariest thing about the butterfly effect is that any small change may bring unforeseen consequences.
Zhao Qi now feels like a lone boat in the vast ocean. Although he can feel that he is moving forward, he doesn't know which direction he is going.
The ten-year plan itself was a bet he made on the life and death of all mankind, but starting from the incident with King Lanling, it seemed to indicate that Zhao Qi had reached a turning point that would change the future.
Zhao Qi should have been happy about this, but the unanswered questions in his mind made him more worried.
Unconsciously, it was midnight, and Wang Wuchen came out of the room yawning to go to the toilet.
But just as he was passing by the corridor, he saw a graceful figure standing by the window in the moonlight.
Wang Wuchen rubbed his eyes with some doubts. After confirming that it was Feng Qiqi standing there, he walked over with some doubts.
After getting closer, Wang Wuchen noticed that Feng Qiqi actually had a cigarette between her fingertips and was puffing out the smoke skillfully.
"Why didn't I notice before that you still smoke?"
What Wang Wuchen didn't expect was that when he heard the voice behind him, Feng Qiqi turned around and looked over. But the moment their eyes met, Wang Wuchen just felt that these eyes were very strange.
"who are you?"
Wang Wuchen was startled, Feng Qiqi would actually ask this question?
"Are you okay? Why do I think there's something weird about you?"
Wang Wuchen looked at Feng Qiqi with sharp eyes. He couldn't explain this feeling, but his intuition told Wang Wuchen that there must be something wrong with Wang Qiqi.
Feng Qiqi didn't speak, she just put out the cigarette in her hand skillfully, then turned and walked towards her room.
But before approaching the door, Feng Qiqi looked back at Wang Wuchen, her eyes full of doubts.
strangeness……
Wang Wuchen frowned and came to where Feng Qiqi was standing just now. He picked up the stubbed out cigarette butt and looked at it.
At that moment, Wang Wuchen saw a pair of very unfamiliar eyes.
But what is going on here?
Wang Wuchen left here with doubts and did not notice that soon after, there were bursts of whispers in Feng Qiqi's room.
……
At dawn the next day, the team members gathered in the conference room again.
According to the plan, they will return to Qintian Prison with Zhao Qi today.
Peng Hai repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Zhao Qi. Although he didn't know the specific details, he could tell from the discussions among everyone that they saved Yanhai County that night.
"Director Peng, I'm serious, this is what we should do.
The finishing work is currently quite effective, but please pay more attention to online entertainment and don't let the situation worsen.
The intensity of control must be carefully considered so that the public does not feel that there is no 300 taels of silver in this place. "
"Don't worry, Inspector Zhao, we know what's going on."
Peng Hai sent Zhao Qi and others outside, but soon several agents hurriedly walked towards them.
"Director, there are fishermen who reported to the officer. They said something very strange, as if they were expressing that there was a small island that suddenly disappeared..."
"what?"
Peng Hai had no reaction yet, but Zhao Qi felt a roar in his mind.
wrong!
Is the island migration not over yet?
Doesn't this mean that the changes in Dongshan County's feng shui and the warning of natural disasters have nothing to do with King Lanling?
Zhao Qi froze on the spot, and with the thoughts in his heart, the shock on his face became clearer and clearer...
