Indiana Jones

Chapter 573 Unexpected (06)

This is a report from Henan. It said that the devils disguised themselves as ordinary people to enter the mountain, but they were quickly discovered by the local people. It is said that there is a large Song Dynasty tomb in the local area, and it is a prince with a high official position. Minister, it is said that besides a large number of precious funerary objects, there is a big secret hidden in the tomb. Although they don't know what it is, the local treasure protection team set off immediately to prevent the little devil from destroying these places. There was a shortage of manpower, but they still put together a team of more than 20 people. The reason why they got so many people was because the little devil went to nearly a hundred people. In contrast, they can be said to be few. It's pitiful, but these 20 or so people are considered to be quite a large scale in the local treasure protection team. If it is not for temporary recruitment and secondment, they can dispatch only four or five people, so from this point of view It can be seen that the local area attaches great importance to this matter. It may be that these little devils dare to toss around in such a remote place when the overall situation is so unfavorable to the devils. It can be seen that there must be something extraordinary there. It attracted them, so the local people did their best to make corresponding deployments, but the difficulties were obvious, but this time it did not stop their determination to stop the little devil.

After the operation started, it can be said that everything went smoothly. Due to their early intervention and the cooperation of the local mountain people, the little devils were attacked by them before reaching the destination, and the casualties were not small, but this did not stop the little devils They didn't expect that the little devil would send another team to the destination while entangled with them. By the time the local treasure protection team understood and rushed to the place where the incident happened, it was already too late, and the ancient tomb had already been dug. Well, there was nothing left but a big pit and some broken bones. The treasure guards could only chase along the way. On a heavy rainy night, they finally caught up with the little devils, but the strange thing was that there was no one in the devil's camp. Weapons and equipment were scattered all over the place, and the things brought out by the little devil from the tomb could be seen everywhere, but no one could be seen. Judging from the scattered items, these people seemed to have left without panic. Judging from the speed at which the bonfire burned Judging that the enemy left a few hours before their arrival, the horses and the things from the tomb were still there, and those people seemed to disappear out of thin air, which puzzled the treasure guards. Unexpected, but fortunately, it was such an ending. After all, they didn't have to continue fighting with the devils to get all these things back, and it was considered a smooth completion of this mission. All the valuables were boxed up and carried out on the devil's horses. Fortunately, nothing happened during this process, so they continued to drive in the rain, walking out for a day and a night before stopping to repair. By this time, all The people were already exhausted, because of the continuous rain, the mountains were full of water, they had to wait for the rain to stop before leaving, but something happened during the repair process, and the sentinel responsible for guarding the goods disappeared, which was very strange What's more strange is that the situation is similar to what they saw in the devil's camp before. The person is gone, but the things are still there. What's even more outrageous this time is that the person's clothes, shoes and socks are still there, as if the sentry took off all his clothes and then he himself It was as if he had escaped. Although everyone didn't believe it, it seemed that he had indeed disappeared, and no one knew what happened to him.

Although this incident was strange, it did not cause too much trouble. It is not a big deal to lose one or two people occasionally these years, not to mention that they did not encounter any sneak attacks from the enemy, nor did they find anything special. They disappeared out of thin air, but there are various indications that they have not been attacked by any external forces. Although the vigilance has been strengthened, everyone just regards this as a strange thing, and some people say that the person is a deserter. This sounds more reasonable.

However, the development of the matter did not end here. When they were packing their luggage, they found that two people were missing. Everything was there, but the person was missing. It was only at this time that the captain's attention was attracted, but no matter how they looked for it, they were still missing. They couldn't find anyone, and at first they thought it was a spy team that had encountered a devil, but they quickly discovered that it was impossible, so in the end they blamed all this on the mysterious mountain. Take people on the road in the rain.

During their terrified escape, the number of people became smaller and smaller. In the end, only two people escaped back. As for the others, they were all missing. These two people had already been mentally broken by the huge psychological pressure that was everywhere, and they could not use it at all. The normal behavior is to understand their actions. One of them, who is still sober, finally explained the matter after several repetitions. When the new rescue team went into the mountain to search for the group of people, they found out what had happened. They're all gone, except for the place where they stayed at the end, the whole team just disappeared like this. Although it's not impossible to survive, this thing is too strange.

After reading these, Si Xuanyi made two conclusions. If this report is a truthful description, it can only explain two points. One is that they encountered supernatural phenomena that they cannot understand at present, and the other is that they encountered a group of people with better skills. And enemies who come and go without a trace.

But thinking about it carefully, although these two possibilities exist, the probability of occurrence is very low, or even impossible. Although he has seen many things beyond human imagination, he is also very clear about the probability of such a thing happening Low, so it is rare to easily associate things with these unexplained phenomena without sufficient evidence and seeing with your own eyes.

As for the second guess, Si Xuanyi didn't think it was very possible. Although they had encountered the Xiaolu tribe once before, it is not so easy to come and go without a trace. Such power exists, how should the two escaped people explain it?Could it be that it was released on purpose?Obviously this is unlikely.

Then came the problem. Putting aside these limited thoughts, Si Xuanyi came to another conclusion, that is, the person who wrote the report deliberately exaggerated in order to shirk responsibility. Perhaps the person in charge over there was unwilling to take responsibility in order to cover up the failure of the mission. The responsibility for the heavy casualties and the failure to get back the valuables made up such a story. The second is to cover up the fact that someone wanted to swallow these things, so the matter was reported as this.

Si Xuanyi thought about it, and felt that although these two possibilities existed, no one would have the guts to spread rumors in broad daylight and cover the sky with one hand. Such hype can't last too long, the matter will come to light sooner or later, not to mention that there must be many insiders for such a big matter, it is impossible for someone to do this.

At that time, Si Xuanyi knew very well that it was impossible to make an accurate judgment based on the information in the text alone, so he immediately contacted the nearby team and rushed over to check what was going on.

"Let me tell you, there are too many such mindless things, and you don't need to worry about them." Zhao Chenggong felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"This matter is a bit too strange, and it won't hurt to find out." Si Xuanyi said, "I always feel that there is something hidden in it that has not been discovered. If you don't mention any problems with the local organization, assuming everything they say is true, What is the so-called big secret? What are the little devils going to do at all costs? What do they want to get in the end? We don’t know these things yet. Don’t forget what happened last time. Everything hidden by the ancient race can indeed be described as a big secret, isn’t that shocking enough? So I think this matter must not be as simple as it seems on the surface.”

"I'm so surprised, how does the little devil know so many things that we can't find out." Ye Feng couldn't help sighing, "They can find so many weird places and know so many things we don't know, it seems They are locals, we are foreigners."

"How many intelligence-gathering departments does the little devil have? The branch for cultural plundering is larger than ours. How many ancient books have they looted from China? The information recorded on it can be described as massive, and there is a large group of specialists It is normal for the so-called experts who study Chinese culture here, as well as a large group of traitors to help out, they have some information. Otherwise, how do you think you can find those dragon veins with the skills of little devils? Don’t forget that we have many teams that are fighting with Those little devils who are ready to sever the Chinese dragon veins are fighting. They can also say that they have a history of thousands of years in the study of Chinese civilization. How much have they learned from blindly copying and rote from the pursuit and worship of the Tang Dynasty? Later, they have been spying on us. With the civilization, rich resources and vast land of Greater China, it is no exaggeration to say that to a certain extent, their understanding of our country is no worse than ours, and even better than us in some aspects.”

"In fact, Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, but in the end it has embarked on a path of spying on and plundering matriarchal culture. Is it because he has become too strong, or are we too cowardly?" Li Siming sighed, "When will we see Han again?" In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, let the surrounding small countries come to court every year? Although history cannot be repeated, our nation has indeed sunk for too long. In history, we have been the most developed country in the world for thousands of years. Why did we finally fall to where we are today? It is indeed worthy of our reflection .”

"Hey! Don't drag the topic too far. What we are talking about is that this incident is a bit weird. We need to investigate. How did you get involved in the success or failure of cultural history?" Zhao Chenggong said.

"There's nothing to discuss, let's see what the final investigation result is." Si Xuanyi said, "It's just an incident, we'll just wait for the result."

"Who leads the team over there? It should be Lu Tianming, he is closer there." Li Siming asked.

"Well, it's his team. He just fought a tough battle there and suffered a lot of losses. I asked him to take a few people over there to have a look. It's also a chance to give his team a rest." Si Xuanyi said.

"The opportunity you gave to rest is given to those wounded, Lu Tianming will not be idle." Zhao Chenggong said.

"Do you think it's so easy to be a leader? What's more, it's in this year and month, and it's still in our business." Li Siming said, "Let's not talk about them, when will the few of us be free at the headquarters? Can’t finish reading the documents? I can’t finish checking the things brought back by truckloads. There are so many trivial things that make people dizzy. I think it’s better to go out and try to be comfortable. Sooner or later, I will be suffocated here. "

"Are you whining or complaining? Or do you have other ideas, making insinuations?" Ye Feng looked at him and asked.

"Do you think I'm still beating around the bush? Am I the kind of person who is beating around the bush? What's more, the most important point is that you guys have elm lumps in your heads. What can you understand?"

Under the heavy work every day, they can only rely on these simple exchanges and jokes to relieve the distress in their hearts. Otherwise, they will have a headache from watching things, sore throat from smoking, busy work without distinction, and dizziness. , It is not something that ordinary people can bear.

A few days later, news came back from Lu Tianming. At present, the authenticity of the report cannot be confirmed. They plan to go into the mountain to have a look. While investigating, they will see if they can find the missing things and see if there is anything else. According to other clues, they did see the two survivors. Although the mental state of the two people was not very good, they roughly told about those things. Judging from the situation they described, those things seemed to be still in the mountains, so they planned to While going into the mountain to investigate, find things back, count as much as you can find, and you can’t let those things just be scattered in the mountains. It can be said that those are all precious historical relics, and it’s a pity to be scattered deep in the mountains.

After thinking about it, Si Xuanyi agreed to Lu Tianming's request, but at the same time, he also reminded Lu Tianming that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, and that he had to make sufficient preparations, at least bring enough manpower, and if there was any need that could not be resolved locally, Respond directly to the above, and I will do my best to help solve it.

Apart from manpower, Lu Tianming didn't ask for any special requirements. Almost all the local people who could be dispatched had already been dispatched, and now there were not many people left who could go on missions. The biggest problem Lu Tianming faced was the lack of manpower. Sylphy could only coordinate with the local military command department and the underground armed forces on personnel allocation issues, and finally managed to gather a team of about 30 people for Lu Tianming. This can be said to be an absolute mixed army. How strong their combat effectiveness is, let alone how much professional knowledge they have, thank God not to mention being able to obey orders.
