Mysterious creature sightings

At six o'clock in the morning, it was still dark, the forest paths between the mountains were filled with mist, and everything between heaven and earth was hazy.

Dew condensed on the grass blades on the roadside. Before it could be evaporated by the rising temperature, it was swept away by the uninvited guest's shoes, stained on the trouser legs, and shaken into the mud. The moist feeling was mixed with the subtle sound of crushing dead leaves. It's a bit scary being in the wilderness with no one around.

After walking for half an hour, the policeman leading the way stopped, pointed to the looming cliff in front and said, "That's right there. Ms. Qu, who reported the crime, said that this is where she saw... that thing when she entered the Great Rift Valley to explore."

Lin Zheng and the others are very familiar with such pauses. This is how a scientific materialist stumbles when he realizes that his worldview has been shattered.

But this is actually a scientific category.

Jiang Yuxing carried two boxes of testing equipment and took two steps forward to look at the cliffs and mountains in the distance. He took a deep breath and almost fainted.

"This is the Great Rift Valley of Jiyi."

The fog at the bottom of the valley has not yet dissipated. It can be said that it is bottomless and eerie to look at.

To be honest, it's not surprising that something mysterious appears in this place.The strange thing is that the person who reported the crime said he saw a human shape, a human shape!That's okay. If you don't understand it, you'll feel hairy all over.

So they had no choice but to come overnight and use the machine to test it first.

Lin Zheng observed with a telescope and at the same time communicated with the policeman who led the way to initially confirm the information: "Let me look at the transcript. Did the witness see that thing around six o'clock in the morning?"

"Yes. She is from the Wild Expedition Team. They like to explore mysterious natural environments. In the past few years, it was popular to go to the Tiankeng. In the past two years, they have come to the Great Rift Valley. However, only part of the Great Rift Valley has rocks. Ladder, tourists who come to play like to go that way, they don’t like to follow the crowd, so they make their plans from this way.”

"The reason why they were here at six o'clock in the morning was because they pitched a tent and slept all night on the mountain, doing some kind of light trapping. Ms. Qu was the first to wake up and planned to see the trapped insects, but she didn't expect to see them at the location leading to the bottom of the valley. To a transparent shadow..."

These are the contents of the witnesses' transcripts, but each industry has its own way of questioning. They also need another more professional transcript, so Xu Jiayan did not go with them and diverted to the police station to meet Ms. Qu.

For example, what exactly does a transparent shadow look like?

"What happens after you see the shadow?" he asked again.

The policeman said: "It ran away, that's what she said. It's so transparent that it's definitely not easy to spot. She could see it because it was moving when it was running, and it was more obvious in the color of the environment."

Lin Zheng put down the telescope. The wind on the top of the mountain made his hair move slightly. When he turned his head, it covered a little of his eyebrows, which just offset some of the sharpness.

He turned his head and asked again: "Then how can you be sure that she is in human form?"

"According to her, she saw a vague outline. She couldn't describe it clearly, but I guess it's similar to the distorted air on the rails under high temperatures?"

It's a very interesting analogy.

Lin Zheng stared at him with deep brows, and the policeman laughed belatedly and said, "My home used to be next to the railway. In the summer, things like that will happen on the railway tracks."

"That's a problem of light refraction." However, it may be the reason. He took out a cigarette and handed it to the police. "You gave us a new idea. Did the witnesses tell them to keep it secret before they went back after completing the transcript?"

Policeman: "Yes. I signed the documents before I came out, otherwise I wouldn't be able to lead the way."

It's just that for Ms. Qu, the principle of confidentiality may not be of much use. Some members of the expedition team really like to get involved in such mysterious events.Lin Zheng expressed that he understood and asked him to help sort out the messy grass and vines here and place the instruments later.

Seeing him on the side, Lin Zheng walked over to Jiang Yuxing and assembled the testing equipment together.

Jiang Yuxing looked at him and sighed. He kept moving his hands and mouth: "The three places I'm most afraid of are: Western Sichuan, Southern Yunnan, and Guangxi. It's not easy to tell when you hear the place names. There are three more places I'm most afraid of. Natural environment: rift valleys, deep lakes, sinkholes, all of them are people's nests. Last time I gathered two, and this time I have two more."

I still remember that last year’s Guangxi Tiankeng Flying Man gave him a heavy mental blow. From then on, he didn’t even dare to watch more zombie movies.

Lin Zheng lowered his head to assemble, and the parts made a crisp clicking sound when they fit together. By the way, his voice also sounded like a cold mechanical voice: "It's good that I don't let you go to those mountain ranges."

Qinling, Yinshan, Kunlun, Hengduan, Shennongjia, Himalayas, any one of them can ruin several lives.

Jiang Yuxing lamented even louder: "That's right, who made our country so vast and so talented that we can't finish studying the natural creatures that need to be discovered. Unlike foreign countries, we can only create magical creatures by ourselves."

He doesn't know whether it's because he's getting older or he's entering a period of job burnout, but he's always feeling a lot of emotion lately.

After the instrument was assembled and he stood up and began to adjust the initial data, he sat there alone and muttered to himself: "I knew that one day I would start studying similar species sooner or later. But I didn't expect that day to come so quickly."

Lin Zheng: "They are not the same kind. It may be the refraction of light caused by the density of the air, which caused the witnesses to see it wrong."

Jiang Yuxing gave up hope: "Our organization is not close to science. It has a weird beginning and an absurd end. I think they are the same kind, the mutated kind."

Lin Zheng pulled up the probe and stood it up to the same height as him, and said, "I mean, judging from the evolution of our ancestors, savages are the same kind as you."

Jiang Yuxing: "...Are you scolding me?"

If Neanderthal was still alive, he really wanted to give this evolved Homo sapiens to others as food!
Once the equipment is ready, all you have to do is wait to collect data.

Thanks to that eel monster, their organization is now very interested in the use of sound waves. This time they also brought an all-round sound wave detector and imager. The tripod was stuck in the soil, and the probe rotated to emit sound waves. When it encountered obstacles, it The image will be transmitted back.

Jiang Yuxing followed the image analysis: "They are all mountains, very deep, there are woods over there, and there is water - my God, this Great Rift Valley is so big, even a pheasant can't find it, let alone a transparent person." .”

Lin Zheng knew a little about the Jiyi Rift Valley: "It is indeed very deep. It is said that no one knows what the deepest part of the valley is like."

Jiang Yuxing lamented: "Is it okay to give this kind of place to those mysterious creatures? We don't offend the river."

Lin Zheng lowered his eyelids and looked at people shorter than him. He always felt like he was looking down on others from a superior IQ: "Go down and negotiate with them. If you can bring back an agreement, I will give you a bonus of three hundred."

Jiang Yuxing: "...Three hundred is too little, forget it."

He was divided into three hundred parts, which was more or less.

The image transmitted back has generated half of the three-dimensional view of the Great Rift Valley, with many obstacles, but most of the reflected sound wave frequencies are the frequencies of identified objects that have been recorded, such as rocks, woods, water flows, and some of the things that are changing are living things. The body is moving and seeing the image of an object is also a common creature.

Until the east side was detected, the sound waves were scurrying around as if they had failed, the image was like a fog, and the audio returned was sizzling, accompanied by other sounds.
