The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 281 Hypnosis

When we returned to Han Xu’s house, the people above hadn’t rushed over yet. Zhou Xuanye and I looked at the messy house, helping to clean it up while waiting for the group of people to arrive.

Their speed was slower than we expected, and it took more than two hours before anyone came to the door.

The leader was the one who arrested us during the day, and when he saw Zhou Xuanye and me, he frowned and said, "Why are you still here?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "My friend was arrested for committing a crime, leaving behind a stupid younger brother at home. If we don't help take care of him, why don't we just ignore it?" He gestured for the others to arrest Han Xu.

How could Han Xu resist, he was subdued immediately.These people ignored me and Zhou Xuanye, took Han Xu and left on their own.Han Xu screamed in fright, shouting at me and Zhou Xuanye for help, heart-piercingly, I couldn't bear to hear it, my footsteps were about to move, I felt an urge to leave him behind.

Zhou Xuanye seemed to see what I was thinking, and suddenly put his hand on my shoulder, holding me firmly.This strong force made me calm down a lot, and I just watched Han Xu being taken away by those people.The whole process took only 2 minutes, and the surroundings returned to calm.In the high-end community where Han Zitong lives, there are only two families on the first floor. The doors are closed and there is no contact with the neighbors. Therefore, no one came to inquire about such a big movement.

With the door wide open, Zhou Xuanye and I sat in the half-cleared room, talking to each other silently.In the end, we both packed up the house before we left. What happened, and it was getting late, we didn’t have the time to visit Team Zeng today, so we called Team Zeng to apologize and said something about today’s Case.Of course, we can’t tell the truth about this matter, so we only said that Han Zitong was called by the leaders above to investigate, and we don’t know anything about the investigation.

The Zeng team was still on the right track and didn't ask any more questions.There is a rule in the field of geology. Many geological surveys will find some rare mineral veins, but for the sake of long-term development, it is impossible for the country to mine a mineral vein immediately. Therefore, these personnel will record when they find a mineral vein and Reporting, of course, this is definitely a secret report, it is impossible to publicize it.Therefore, there are quite a lot of opportunities for such geological specialists to be called to drink tea by the people above.

Team Zeng didn't think deeply about it, so we made an appointment the next day.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. There were many things in my mind, including Han Zitong, Han Xu, the large corpse spots, and the soldiers in camouflage uniforms.I was drowsy and woke up from time to time, and when I woke up the next day, the dark circles under my eyes were even heavier.

Zhou Xuanye was not much better, we washed up hastily, ate something casually, bought some gifts, took a taxi, and set foot on the road to visit Team Zeng again.

But we didn't expect that at Team Zeng's house, we met a very unexpected person.

Team Zeng's house is an old-fashioned community. The winter wind is now withering the leaves of the sycamore trees. The greening of the old-fashioned community is not very good, and the environment looks relatively poor.We took the elevator up to the seventh floor, knocked on the scarlet security door, and a middle-aged woman answered the door.

She smiled at us politely and let us into the house. This person is Zeng Dui's wife. She doesn't seem to like Zeng Dui's involvement in this aspect, so she doesn't care much about the arrival of Zhou Xuanye and me. The color of joy.It wasn't until we brought out a bunch of valuable gifts that she began to greet us, cut some melons and fruits, got some melon seeds and so on.Finally, I twisted the vegetable basket and went out to buy vegetables. Let's talk by ourselves.

Team Zeng is actually quite young, only in his early forties, thin and thin. When the expedition team came out of the snow-capped mountains, they had mental problems.As for Team Zeng, it was only in the past two years that he recovered, and he came out of the military hospital and went home to recuperate, so it's no wonder that his wife has no good feelings for us.

He seemed a little nervous, and he didn't say much. He looked at us with slightly cloudy eyes, and said after a while: "Why do you ask about this matter?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "We want to know the background of the people you met in the snow-capped mountains."

Team Zeng said: "Actually, I don't remember clearly. You know, I lived in a mental hospital for five years."

Zhou Xuanye leaned forward and said: "Yes, we know, I am sorry to bother you again because of this matter. But this news is very important to us, I hope you can try your best to tell us what you still remember. us."

As soon as the words were finished, suddenly, there was a click in the room. Before I could react, the door of the study was opened, and an unexpected person came out of it.

Han Zitong!
I wondered if I was dazzled.

Wasn't she taken away by the people at the base yesterday morning and stayed at the base all the time?Why...appeared at Team Zeng's house now?

Han Zitong has facial paralysis, so when he saw us, he didn't have any expression on his face.

As soon as Team Zeng saw her coming out of the room, he said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Han finished his work report and arrived earlier than you."

Han Zitong sat on the sofa and talked to Team Zeng on his own, ignoring me and Zhou Xuanye.

"Team Zeng, I just took a look at the information you collected before. It's really amazing. Every time I read it, I feel very shocked."

Team Zeng laughed loudly, patted Han Zitong on the shoulder, and said: "I have traveled too many places, and those photos and materials took me a lot of time. We are engaged in geology, that's the only benefit, just It's a pity to walk all over the land and mountains with these two feet..." He sighed as if thinking of something.

In fact, he is in his prime in his 40s, but Team Zeng has retired and is no longer engaged in geological work.According to what he said just now, he should love this career very much. The five years of hospital life and his retirement as a young man are obviously related to the incident seven years ago.

Is the person they met in the snow mountain the legendary little Fusang?

But now, I care more about Han Zitong.

The people at the base, why did they let her back?

Did she know that Han Xu had been taken away?
At this time, since Team Zeng was right in front of us, I couldn't ask these questions, but I just felt a little nervous.Han Xu was sent out by us. Although I had no choice but to, I still felt sorry for Han Zitong.This feeling made it hard for me to face her.

But at this moment, Han Zitong's behavior was the same as usual, the only thing that was unusual was that he didn't greet us.You know, although Han Zitong has facial paralysis, he is a very polite person and treats others with enthusiasm.

This lukewarm attitude at the moment makes me confused.

At this moment, Team Zeng finished chatting with Han Zitong and returned to our previous topic.

He said: "Since you want to hear it, let me tell you something. In fact, I don't really remember who we met during that time, but I remember that those people lived on a snow peak. Below the snow peak, there was a Great lake, very, very beautiful lake."

While talking, he showed a look of deep thought, and continued intermittently: "In that place, there has always been a legend that people live in the depths of the snow-capped mountains. What? But... the legend seems very real, and the environment in that area is also quite special, with an abnormal magnetic field, making it difficult to spy on. So, we organized that expedition."

After a pause, he pondered for a long time before he said: "I don't remember clearly. We walked for a long time in the snow-capped mountains and experienced many dangers. Finally, we saw a lake. It is very, very beautiful and not frozen. There was a boat on the lake, and another on the boat... He rowed the boat and took us across the lake to the bottom of a snowy peak, and we lived there for a long time, and finally we were driven out again gone."

His narration was too confusing, Zhou Xuanye frowned slightly, and said softly: "Captain Zeng, do you still remember your route? Why did you live in that place for a year? Why were you kicked out again? During that year , how did you spend your time? What is the name of that place?"

Team Zeng's nerves have obviously been stimulated a lot over the years, and his reactions are very slow. Zhou Xuanye's series of questioning made him feel very strenuous.So he immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, take it easy, I'll tell you slowly."

"I don't know why we stayed. It seems that we were injured at the time... They took us in, but why they lived there for a year, I really can't remember. In fact, I have always suspected one thing matter."

"What's the matter?" I asked subconsciously.

Team Zeng said: "I suspect that we have been hypnotized. Except for me, who has recovered some memories, the rest of my teammates are still in the hospital. They can't remember anything, and what I can recall is limited. I think it must be the group of people in the snow mountain who performed something similar to hypnosis on us. In the past two years, I have sought out experts in this field and tried to use hypnosis to awaken the memory of that time, but every time Neither worked."
