Lu Xiaoman, as the youngest child in the group, was naturally forced to stay by everyone.
With a good attitude, she stood with her back against the stone mill. Her feet felt very sore, and she lowered her head and beat her legs. She did not realize what it would mean if a strange beast really took away Lao Liu.
The girl Xiao Zhao moved to Lu Xiaoman's side and whispered, "I don't know why, but I can't help but feel a little scared?
In this place, barren mountains and uninhabited villages, Uncle Liu has disappeared for no reason. It feels like the beginning of a horror movie... I didn't feel it before."
"Little Sister Zhao, you are overthinking. What era is it now? There is no such thing as 'dirty stuff'." Lu Xiaoman smiled without any fluctuation in her heart.
A middle-aged aunt wearing a sunhat turned her head and persuaded with a smile. "
Xiao Zhao! Don’t be suspicious, I think! Director Liu just found a place to go to the toilet. When we were waiting for departure at the meeting point, didn’t he tell some of us that he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach?
?”
"But Uncle Liu didn't even tell us when he went to the bathroom." Xiao Zhao said.
"I don't know about this."
"I don't even answer the phone."
"Stop thinking nonsense..."
"Oh." Xiao Zhao, the girl, nodded her head in agreement, turned her head and whispered to Lu Xiaoman again.
"Lu Xiaoman, you may not know that there have been a lot of strange rumors recently, on the Internet and around you... For example, someone saw with their own eyes the dirty properties of an unfinished real estate near the University Town in the West District.
thing'."
"Sister Zhao, I also know about the unfinished real estate you mentioned. Now at night, some brave people go there to play, treating it as a free haunted house." Lu Xiaoman still nodded calmly, while beating his head.
Legs, while looking at the deserted village ahead with flickering eyes.
Most of the houses in the village are covered with wild grass and snakeberries. The snakeberries, which are more beautiful in color than strawberries, bear many red fruits.
The walls were covered with vines, flowers grew on the roof, fallen leaves and moss dyed the tiles, and even a small tree sprouted from the chimney of one house. It had been no one inhabited for a year, and it turned out like this.
Normally, Lu Xiaoman would probably look at all this with the eyes of a photographer, but listening to the chatter of the little Sister Zhao next to her, she was obviously not afraid, but she was also infected by her.
As a result, those houses obscured by weeds became darker and darker.
Lu Xiaoman simply didn't look at it, lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, while silently thinking about prosperity, democracy, freedom, equality, justice...
Half an hour later, people's voices soon came from the distant path. Because the people were blocked by the vegetation, the voice arrived first, but it sounded very pessimistic. Everyone was complaining about where Director Liu had gone.
The three people who went to look for the person soon appeared, but as soon as they came in front of everyone, the three people saw at a glance that one of the people left behind was missing.
"Where is Zhang Fengren?"
"Ah?" The girl Xiao Zhao reacted first, turned to look to the side, and stammered, "Just now, I was here just now..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly opened wide with a look of horror on her face.
A minute later, everyone fell into fear. Even Lu Xiaoman felt scared. Aunt Zhang, who had just been persuading them not to be suspicious, who was standing next to them, disappeared silently.
Little Sister Zhao next to me had already screamed, and even the other men were breaking out in cold sweats.
"Is this caused by a strange beast or something else?"
"This is not a matter of alien beasts! In my opinion, there is a good chance that something 'dirty' is entangled with us."
"what to do?"
"Do you want to go down the mountain first?"
"No! Let's report the crime first!"
"Let's report the crime while going down the mountain! Let's go quickly! Ladies, go in the middle! Hold hands!"
"Okay, okay, let me call the police report... I don't know where I saw it. It said don't be afraid if something like this happens, report it first."
What gave them some comfort was that although it was a deserted mountain, the signal was still open, not like in horror movies, and the call to report the crime was also connected smoothly.
After listening to the reporter's description, the operator confirmed it once and transferred the line to them once, so the reporter described it again.
Then the person on the other end of the phone said in a calm voice, "Try not to spread out. You can try to go down the mountain as long as it is safe.
If you are unsure, you can stay in a safe place and wait for rescue hand in hand, and we will arrive at the scene as soon as possible."
Finally, he added, "Don't be too afraid, ghosts and things like that don't exist."
The phone was on speakerphone, and everyone present looked at each other in shock after listening.
The leading uncle swallowed, no longer caring about the image, and asked in a trembling voice, "How can you be so sure that there are no such things in this world?"
"Because I am an investigator from the Superpower Administration..." After saying that, the investigator on the line hung up the phone.
Lu Xiaoman also started to get really scared, but after all, she was quite courageous, and besides being scared, she still had other things on her mind.
Speaking of investigators, she couldn't help but think of one person, Lin Fei, a good friend of the two sisters upstairs. He had easily cured his foot injury before, and he had also appeared on TV as an investigator...
Afterwards, a group of people walked out of the village hand in hand, and involuntarily stopped, accumulating fear in the silence.
The fog on the mountain rises like rising tide and will submerge this area.
Before entering the village, they could still vaguely see the road they took when coming down from the foot of the mountain. Now they could only see a hundred meters below at most, and further down was the increasingly dense fog.
No one knows what is in the fog. They know that the thick fog can only block the sight from a distance and becomes thinner when you get closer. But when it comes to walking in, no one dares to go in like this.
"What should we do now?"
"This fog is so weird."
Someone remembered what the investigator just said and suggested, "Let's go back to the village! Find a house, go in, and light a fire!"
When the time comes, how about we all gather in a group, hold hands, find something handy, and wait for rescue?"
"Okay, okay..." As long as someone speaks at this time, they will get a response.
…………
In Ping'an Garden Community, Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sofa, was chatting with Han Xue, who was rarely taking a break.
Han Xue: The director went to the capital for another meeting.
Lin Fei: What a busy man!
Han Xue: Several more mineral veins were discovered at the Sixth Town of the Spirit Realm. Unfortunately, there is a lack of manpower and there is no way to mine them at the same time.
Lin Fei: How is it going in the First Town?
Han Xue: Everything is fine. Since that war, there have been no more disturbances.
Lin Fei: It seems that those pig-headed men were also injured after that battle!
Han Xue: Yes! However, the expansion of the spiritual world station in the first town is slow.
Lin Fei: Are you worried that those pig-headed men will come back after the construction is completed?
Han Xue: That should be the idea, right... In a few days, our Rongcheng Practitioner Academy will send another group of students to the spirit world station in the sixth town for further training. Do you want to follow us to the spirit world in the sixth town?
Let’s take a look at the border station and see how well the construction there is now.
Lin Fei: Forget it, I won’t go. I’m very busy now.
Han Xue: Looking at your Moments, besides traveling around with your girlfriend and eating delicious food from all over the world, I don’t see you having anything to do.
Lin Fei:......
Han Xue: This is a rare opportunity, do you really not plan to go?
What a rare opportunity? I can go to the spirit world anytime I want... Lin Fei scratched his head and had to pull Zhou Yue out to be his shield.
"I won't go. It will be my girlfriend's birthday in a few days. I have to prepare well in the coming days..."
Han Xue: You...wait, we’ll talk later
A few minutes later, Lin Fei finished watching a short video, and news from Han Xue came.
Han Xue: I just received news suddenly that something happened in a place called Luofeng Village, and many people were trapped...
Lin Fei: Luofeng Village? Is it the Luofeng Village on Luofeng Mountain?
Han Xue: Well, what’s wrong?
Lin Fei: A few days ago, someone photographed a dragon playing in the rain clouds on Luofeng Mountain! Now there is a story about people being trapped on the mountain. I am very interested. Can I go to the scene and take action?
When Han Xue saw that Lin Fei wanted to go to Luofeng Village, she naturally strongly supported him. With such a powerful practitioner going to the scene to help, the safety of those who were trapped would naturally be assured.
…………
A white light flashed, and Lin Fei appeared out of thin air on the outskirts of the city.
The telekinetic power was activated, his feet lifted off the ground, and he rose to a height of more than 20 meters, and then he flew along the road.
After a short while, Lin Fei arrived at the foot of Luofeng Mountain. He looked up at the dissipating thick fog. He followed Han Xue's instructions and patiently waited for the investigators who came to handle the case.
The investigators who came to handle the case did not fly in. They drove over in a hurry and still arrived seven or eight minutes later than Lin Fei.
"Are you Mr. Lin Fei?"
"Yeah! It's me."
The five investigators who came to handle the case had all been on the battlefield and fought against spiritual invaders. After seeing Lin Fei's ID, they were all very excited. After all, the young man in front of them had killed him with his own hands.
The strongman of the fourth level pig-headed man.
Although the five investigators wanted to talk to Lin Fei more, they had to deal with the case. After greeting each other for a few words, they took Lin Fei up the mountain.
Not to mention Lin Fei's physical strength, the five experienced investigators are also far stronger than ordinary people.
A group of six people climbed the mountain very quickly. When they arrived at the abandoned village, the thick fog had just dissipated. The investigators quickly found the shelter chosen by the group by making a phone call.
This is a relatively closed house, with only one door for easy entry, and the door is locked.
An investigator went to knock on the door. Lin Fei followed the team and looked inside.
A total of more than a dozen people were huddled in the corner, holding hands. The lady was protected in the middle, and two young girls were in the middle. Most of the men had wooden sticks, benches, brooms and other objects beside them.
A fair, oval face is hidden in the innermost part of the crowd. The uncles in front of her are tall. Her face is only about the height of their shoulders, so it is not easy to see. Only a pair of shining eyes can be seen through the gap.
Eyes, scared but unable to help but look out curiously.
"Investigator! It's an investigator!"
"The investigators are here!"
"It's finally here! It's better now!"
"Brother Lin Fei!" Lu Xiaoman stood on tiptoes to raise his gaze, stared blankly at Lin Fei, and shouted in surprise, "Brother Lin Fei, why are you here?"
Xiao Zhao, who was next to Lu Xiaoman, suddenly frowned after hearing this, then became vigilant again and said in panic.
"Everyone, please be careful. Even if the previous investigators said that there are no ghosts at all, if you don't keep it right, there will be strange beasts that use their powers to transform into various images, or cause hallucinations in order to deceive people's trust, and then suddenly appear again.
Launch an attack.
I watched an interview with an alien hunter on TV before, and he mentioned that he and his teammates encountered an alien beast that could use this method in the wild, and the entire team was almost destroyed."
As soon as Xiao Zhao said these words, everyone was in an uproar. Suddenly, even the investigators were not so friendly. The few people approaching the door paused, then quickly stepped back, tightening their sticks.
"Everyone, we are really investigators, we have credentials!"
"Don't doubt us! You will know if the documents are true or false after you take a look at them."
Hey, this girl Lu Xiaoman is here, what a coincidence... Lin Fei looked at Lu Xiaoman in the crowd in surprise.
The investigator threw his ID to the crowd. Several uncles and aunties working in government departments checked the ID. After confirming that it was authentic, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Then everyone came forward and surrounded the investigator, telling each other their own experiences.
Lin Fei came to Lu Xiaoman, looked at the girl with a big camera hanging around her neck, and said with a smile, "Lu Xiaoman, your hobbies are really wide..."
Meeting an acquaintance in such an environment, Lu Xiaoman's worry completely disappeared. He looked up at Lin Fei and said mysteriously, "Brother Lin Fei, it's very weird here."
Lin Fei said "Hmm", and while chatting with Lu Xiaoman, he expanded his perception and used his mental power to explore around.
After the investigators gained everyone's trust, they led them out.
"Mr. Investigator, what exactly happened here?"
"Are we going down the mountain now?"
"We still have two friends missing?"
With a backer, everyone was no longer afraid and asked a series of questions in a very excited mood.
An investigator holding a spiritual weapon explained to the group of photography enthusiasts after activating the spiritual weapon in his hand.
"Don't be anxious, don't worry. We will investigate what happened to you and look for the missing people. As for what caused it, we will explain it to you when we have the results.
I hope everyone can just relax and follow us down the mountain, and at the same time, don’t spread the word about what’s going on here to avoid causing panic.”
This is a common handling method used by the Superpower Management Bureau to stabilize citizens involved in cases. Tell the truth if you can and remind you to keep it confidential, but it is not mandatory to keep it confidential, and there is no penalty for leaking secrets.
"I have found the two missing persons you are looking for." Lin Fei, who was listening to Lu Xiaoman's chatter, suddenly spoke to the people who were preparing to go down the mountain.
