Mysterious resurgence

Shen Lin's appearance was a bit unexpected.

Yang Jian, Liu San, Li Jun, and A Hong watched him emerge from the sewer outlet, not only wet but also wearing a woman's dress.

"Shen Lin, what happened over there?" Li Jun came over immediately. He pulled Shen Lin and asked him to leave the sewer.

Liu San asked, "You just said you knew where the ghost lake is? Are there any new clues?"

"The ghost lake is not in Zhongzhou City." Yang Jian frowned, roughly guessing.

Shen Lin shook off the water on his body, took off his wet clothes, and then said: "I successfully entered the Ghost Lake before, survived, and got some key information, but unfortunately, I haven't I encountered a powerful ghost at the source, but I have roughly locked the location of the ghost lake."

"Where is the ghost lake?" Li Jun asked.

Shen Lin smiled. He walked to the clothing store on the roadside, picked up a piece of men's clothing and put it on. Then he said, "It doesn't really matter where you are."

"What do you mean?" Li Jun frowned.

Shen Lin said: "Ghost lakes can appear anywhere, whether it is Zhongzhou City, Daxia City, or even Dachang City, ghost lakes will appear in every place affected by supernatural beings. It can affect reality but does not exist in reality. It’s an indescribably supernatural place.”

"If you say it, you haven't said it yet."

Liu San frowned and said: "And it's not just you who entered the ghost lake. I also entered the ghost lake. Yang Jian also found the killing pattern of the ghost lake. If he triggers it actively, he can also enter the ghost lake."

"We all have a way to get into Ghost Lake."

"Really? But you will most likely die after entering the ghost lake. How did Cao Yang get into trouble? It may be because of this reason. You cannot easily set foot in that lake, otherwise the captain-level ghost controller will also drown in the lake. , if you want to solve it, there are only two ways."

"Either lead the ghost into the real world, or enter the supernatural space where the ghost is, but the premise is not to trigger the murderous rules of the ghost, otherwise you may not be able to deal with it after entering and die there."

After speaking, Shen Lin looked at the three of them and said the most important sentence: "I have clues that will not trigger the murder pattern and enter the ghost lake."

"If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't hide it."

Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Do you think we are patient enough to chat with you here?"

"Yes, I need to change my slowness."

Shen Lin said: "Then I will tell you directly. After I entered the ghost lake, I saw a small river leading to the ghost lake. That river existed in the supernatural space and extended into reality. If I guessed correctly, The Ghost Lake Incident happened because of that river.”

"Are you saying that the water in the ghost lake came to reality through that river, so it caused a supernatural event? If you can find that river and go upstream, you can successfully enter the ghost lake?" Yang Jian immediately understood what Shen Lin meant.

Li Jun asked a little impatiently: "Where is that river?"

Shen Lin stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "That direction."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Yang Jian stopped dragging his feet and immediately used the Ghost Domain to lead everyone directly in the direction pointed by Shen Lin.

soon.

They temporarily left the city center of Zhongzhou City and came to the outskirts of the city.

There is indeed a river here, neither big nor small. The water is turbid and cold, and there are still a few corpses floating in the water. There are no maggots or flies around the corpses, but there is only a faint smell of corpses.

"There is indeed a problem with this river, is it here?" Yang Jian stopped and looked at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin said: "It's this river, but it's just one of the places affected by the supernatural. It's not the correct connection point. It's still ahead."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand again.

far away.

A small town caught everyone's eyes.

It was a relatively historic town, with blue bricks, gray tiles, and stone paving. You could vaguely see many colorful lights hanging on the houses, which was full of antique flavor.

"A Hong, check it out." Li Jun said immediately.

A Hong immediately started to check the information, and after a while he said: "That is Ping'an Ancient Town, a characteristic tourist town that Zhongzhou City has vigorously developed in recent years."

She quickly recounted the information about the town.

"There's nothing surprising from the information." Li Jun looked at the others: "Do you have any other opinions?"

Liu San frowned and said: "A small town with historical heritage is extraordinary."

"The history can be traced back to the Republic of China, and it is not newly built in recent years,"

Yang Jian said coldly: "The source of the ghost lake now emerges from there. That town is probably very unusual."

really.

The thing I was most worried about happened.

The Ghost Lake incident was not an accident, but involved an ancient town.

Now things get complicated.

"Many tourists have traveled there before, and there were no problems." A Hong said.

Yang Jian said: "Before the knocker incident happened in Dachang City, I was still in school, and there was no problem. After I came out, I no longer thought so."

"There are still people living in that town, including old residents of the original ancient town, tourists who were temporarily left there during their travels, and some citizens of Zhongzhou City."

Li Jun's eyes narrowed slightly: "We have to evacuate all those people."

"The matter has not been determined yet. There is no rush to evacuate them. Let's go and take a look first." Yang Jian said.

Liu San said: "I think so too. There is nothing happening over there now, so why should we bother to disturb the balance? If something happens, it is not too late to move people. With Yang Jian's method, a city can be evacuated in a few seconds. Let alone a small town.”

"What if there is supernatural interference?" Li Jun said.

"There has been supernatural interference."

Yang Jian peered through the ghost eyes and saw that some buildings in the town were distorted and deformed, and his vision was affected in some way. There seemed to be something special mixed in the ancient town, but the impact was not serious enough, and he did not dare to conclude that there was something in the town. There are ghosts, or there are ghost masters of the older generation.

"Go over and take a look and everything will become clear. The source is in that ancient town. Maybe we can find some clues." Shen Lin said.

"Let's act together." Li Jun reminded.

soon.

The group of them stepped on the road paved with bluestones and arrived at the stone archway in front of the town.

Taiping Ancient Town.

The archway is new, a modern building built in Taiping Ancient Town in recent years, not an old archway.

They walked directly into this ancient town without much hesitation.

Some streets in the ancient town are newly built, but when Zhongzhou City funded the construction of this ancient town, it also retained the historical features of the ancient town. Some old streets and old buildings are also well preserved.

Several people seemed to feel something, and they seemed to be attracted by something. Although they didn't know the way, they walked in the direction of the old streets of Taiping Ancient Town.

"There seems to be something unusual. You should also feel it." Liu San whispered to himself.

"Yeah." Several people responded softly.

Yang Jian said: "Feng Quan, don't follow me, stay in the newly built street, just in case, I need someone to respond outside."

"I understand." Feng Quan said nothing, just nodded, turned and left.

Keep going.

They saw another archway.

It is also made of stone. Affected by wind and sun, this archway has been weathered and worn severely. It is dark, old, and incomplete. Even the words Taiping Ancient Town have become blurry. At first glance, , seems to say Shikou Town.

However, this ancient town seems not to have been much affected by Zhongzhou City.

There is still a lot of popularity here.

There were pedestrians on the road and some shops that were open for business.

"This place is so close to Zhongzhou City and there is no blockade." Li Jun said in surprise.

A Hong said: "Some cities downstream were not blocked when there was an accident. Although we are close here, there was no accident, so there was no blockade."

"So that's it." Li Jun nodded, understanding.

The scope of the Ghost Lake's influence is too large. If it is blocked just because it is close, then I don't know how many cities will have to be blocked.

Yang Jian was already walking in this ancient town at this moment. His ghost eyes peeked everywhere and could see many things that ordinary people could not see.

But for the time being, he didn't find anything special.

This place is just like an ordinary tourist town, unremarkable, but if you observe it from outside the ancient town before, there is indeed a problem here, but what the problem is, you still need a little exploration.

at this time.

Yang Jian saw a young couple walking towards each other on the streets of the ancient town.

A ghostly look.

There is no doubt that these are just two ordinary people, there is nothing strange about them.

but.

Yang Jian's ghostly eyes suddenly saw that the young woman was holding a mask in her hand. The mask was a toy and very new. It should have been bought at a stall nearby.

Such masks are common in any tourist attraction.

But what Yang Jian noticed was that the mask's style was a little weird.

It looked like a human face, but it had an angry look and looked very angry.

For some reason, this mask style made Yang Jian immediately think of the two weird faces on Tong Qian, but one of Tong Qian's faces was a smiling face and the other was a crying face.

Suddenly.

When the couple passed by Yang Jian, Yang Jian suddenly stopped, grabbed the woman's wrist, and asked coldly: "Where did you buy this mask?"

"Who are you? You must be sick. Let go." The woman suddenly felt confused and immediately struggled to resist.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Next to her, the woman's boyfriend immediately rushed over and asked loudly.

Yang Jian turned around and glanced, his eyes cold and dangerous: "I'm asking her something, it has nothing to do with you, go away."

This man was taller and stronger than Yang Jian, but he was inexplicably frightened by being drank like this, making people subconsciously want to escape from here.

Danger!

This man had such an idea in his mind.

Suddenly, he stood there at a loss.

"Tell me where you bought this mask."

Yang Jian turned around and continued to question: "I don't have the patience, you'd better cooperate."

"Yang Jian, don't make trouble." Li Jun reminded.

Yang Jian ignored it. He just grabbed the weird mask and said, "Let me ask you one last time, where did you buy this mask?"

The woman seemed to be frightened by Yang Jian, and pointed to the street hastily: "I bought it on that street over there."

"Which street should I tell you clearly?" Yang Jian asked again.

The woman added: "Go straight over there and cross the bridge. I bought it on the street on the right. I forgot which store."

Yang Jian then let go of the woman's wrist and pushed her away: "You can go, I confiscated this thing."

"Who are you? You dare to steal something." The man next to him said angrily at this moment.

"We are handling the case, and I hope you will cooperate. My colleague has such a temper. If there is anything that offends you, you can call this number to complain." Li Jun walked over, took out his ID, and then handed over a business card. .

The man took the business card and looked at Li Jun, Liu San, Shen Lin and the others next to him.

"This is not how a case is handled. I will definitely file a complaint against you." The man took the business card and left angrily with his girlfriend.

Li Jun asked again: "Yang Jian, are you always like this outside?"

"Why should you care about the opinions of ordinary people? I have exercised restraint by not using supernatural powers to invade her memory." Yang Jian said with an indifferent expression.

Shen Lin looked at it and changed the subject: "Did you find anything?"

Yang Jian threw the mask in his hand to him: "This mask is very similar to a ghost face I have seen before. If no one has seen a ghost face, it is impossible to make a mask of this style."

"It really doesn't look like something that a normal merchant can produce." Shen Lin looked through it and stared at the grimace.

The style of this mask does reveal a strangeness.

But this is just a weird style. In fact, it is a very ordinary item, nothing special.

"Across the bridge, street on the right?"

Yang Jian squinted his eyes: "The presence of a bridge means there is a river. The river you mentioned before seems to pass through this ancient town."

"Go and have a look." Liu San immediately strode away.

Everyone set off again.

soon.

About halfway down the street, a stone bridge appeared.

The stone bridge is very old. You can tell at a glance that it is at least hundreds of years old. The fence next to it is made of stainless steel and should have been installed in recent years. It originally had no railings.

Under the bridge is the river.

The water is very clear and cold. Just standing on the bridge can feel a chill rushing up from below.

"You are right, this river is the one that connects to the outskirts of Zhongzhou City." Shen Lin said, and then glanced ahead: "But there is no street on the right after crossing the bridge. You were fooled."

After crossing the bridge, go forward.

There are no streets.

There are no streets on the left and right sides, only old residential buildings. Some residential buildings are still open for business, and there are also pedestrians passing by on the road.

"It's just this street, there are no other streets." Liu San also looked at it.

Yang Jian stood on the road and said calmly: "You also think I was cheated?"

"That woman didn't lie." Liu San added: "The words are true. I can tell whether they are truth or lies."

“If the words are true, then the streets are also true.”

Yang Jian said: "It's quite interesting. There is an invisible street in the ancient town."

"We are here to enter the ghost lake and deal with the ghost lake incident. We should not distract our attention." Li Jun said: "If we want to investigate, we can go back and investigate again. Things have priority."

Yang Jian said: "How do you know this street has nothing to do with the Ghost Lake incident we are going to investigate."

"I want to go into that street and have a look. Are you interested?"

Shen Lin's eyes moved slightly: "I'm not interested. I'd better go with Li Jun to determine the connection point. If you are interested, you should investigate it yourself first, and then tell us what happens later. Anyway, we are all in the same place, so just let us know." ”

"I want to take a walk around the ancient town." Liu Sandao.

"Separate operations again?" Li Jun frowned.

"The town is only so big, so it won't be in the way." Yang Jian said, "Just tell me the location and I will go there immediately."

"me too."

"I hope so." Li Jun said nothing more.

We are both captains, and sometimes it is difficult to follow each other's arrangements. They all want to act according to their own preferences, and there is no way to coordinate the arrangements.

"Yang Jian, I will inform you once I confirm the location with Shen Lin. Maybe ten minutes is enough. You should be prepared." Li Jun gave one last warning before leaving with Shen Lin.

He didn't want to waste time on this.

As for Shen Lin, he didn't know what he was thinking. He knew there was something wrong with this street, but he didn't want to investigate too deeply.

Liu San was still standing there, he didn't move, but other Liu Sans appeared in other parts of the town.

His paper man has already begun to explore every corner of the town.
