An iron tower was built in this mountain during the Zhao and Song Dynasties, hence the name Iron Tower Mountain. It was once a scenic spot.
Only half a year ago, because several tourists disappeared in the mountains, there were rumors that the tower was haunted.
Perhaps in order to temporarily avoid the storm, the management of the scenic area sealed off the entire Tieta Mountain Scenic Area, claiming that it was conducting safety hazard inspections and upgrading facilities in the scenic area.
Since the lockdown half a year ago, it has not been opened yet.
Nowadays, various facilities in the scenic area have become increasingly obsolete due to neglect of management and maintenance. The cableway through the mountains has been removed, and the original tourist rest area has been occupied by thick forests. There is no sign of upgrading the facilities. .
Silver-gray cars pass through the mountainous road,
Drive into the scenic park.
The main building of this scenic spot, the Iron Tower, is located in the scenic park.
Unlike the desolate and uninhabited areas outside the park, which are gradually being recaptured by nature, the scenic park has two teams of people patrolling the area day and night to prevent curious 'explorers'. Get into the park.
The car stopped in front of the guardrail blocking the tower.
Fang Gan opened the door and stepped out of the car.
There were already three people waiting in front of the guardrail. When they saw Fang Gan getting out of the car, they all gathered around.
"team leader."
The three people called each other "inspector" like ordinary subordinates, but called him "captain".
Before being promoted to the third inspector of the Prison, Fang Gan was the captain of the East 4th District's Controller Team.
The three people gathered in front of him had all fought alongside him and resisted the strange invasion together.
However, since Fang Gan was absorbed into the upper echelons of the prison, there seemed to be a gap between him and his former comrades.
The round-faced young man standing directly opposite Fang Gan looked at Fang Gan with a somewhat complicated look.
"Dongxing." Fang Gan looked at the round-faced young man with a smile, patted his shoulder, and walked towards the iron tower in the fence first, "Did Cui Xun send the person here?"
"Sent it over." Li Dongxing responded in a low voice, "It's in the guard area of the prison.
She's not doing well."
"I see."
Fang Gan nodded and approached the entrance of the iron tower.
The dark entrance in front of me is like the bloody mouth of a giant beast.
Li Dongxing stood three steps away from the entrance and couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do with her?"
"It's just the inquiry stage now, it's not time to deal with her yet."
Fang Gan smiled and turned around and replied.
Then look back and step into the darkness.
Wow…
In the dark entrance, the sound of chains being dragged was heard.
Li Dongxing stood outside the iron tower, looking obviously much more relaxed.
Tap tap tap,
Two blue-grey brick walls moved forward side by side. Fang Gan put away the 'key' and walked slowly along the passage.
He walked forward at least a hundred steps,
But the stretch of road still hasn't come to an end.
Judging from the diameter of the tower visually observed from the outside, it is impossible to have such a passage that is hundreds of steps away inside the tower.
But it happened to appear in the iron tower, which goes against common sense.
Another hundred steps forward,
White light began to appear at the end of the passage, and the blue-grey wall at the end went horizontally, forming a folded corner in the straight forward passage.
As Fang Gan walked around the corner, his vision suddenly opened up.
After the passage, rows of cells made of thick green bricks were arranged on both sides, extending into the depths of darkness. In front of each cell, there was an iron door wrapped with heavy chains and floating mysterious inscriptions.
There is a grille air outlet on the iron door that is no larger than the mouth of a bowl.
Through the grille, it was difficult to see clearly what was going on inside. The cell was shrouded in darkness, and it was not known whether anyone or a 'conspirator' was being held in it.
In the open area in the middle, there are several desks and chairs that are incompatible with the primitive and gloomy environment of the prison.
There are some folders scattered on the table and several laptops used to record documents.
At this time, two people wearing black jackets and uniforms were sitting at the desk.
Although the two of them were in the office area, they were not doing anything serious.
One person is holding a mobile phone and watching a horror movie;
One person kept tapping the screen with his finger, and it looked like he was playing a game.
In the side corner, there is a long-haired woman with her hands tied to chains with floating mysterious inscriptions, standing quietly.
Her hair obscured her face,
It's hard to see her description clearly.
When Fang Qian walked in, the long-haired woman was the first to notice him. She raised her head, her hair spread to both sides, revealing a pale face.
There is not much color on this face, but its delicate facial features give it a different kind of beauty.
Until the woman raised her head and stared at Fang Gan for several seconds,
The two people who were playing on their mobile phones discovered Fang Qian's arrival.
They quickly put away their mobile phones, stood up in a hurry, and greeted Fang Gan: "Inspection."
"Is she Yun Nishang sent by Cui Xun?" Fang Gan didn't care about the work attitude of these two people. They were able to maintain a good attitude despite long-term contact with prisoners who often showed all kinds of crazy and terrifying appearances. And the mood of fishing at work is already very good.
At least it shows that these two jailers are still normal people, and their mentality has not been polluted by the prisoners in a repressive environment.
"Yes. She is Yun Nishang." A jailer nodded in response, "Do you want to start questioning now?"
"Not in a hurry."
Fang Gan shook his head, pointed at Yun Nishang and said, "Give her a chair and let her sit and talk."
"Okay." Another jailer hurriedly moved to bring a chair.
Yun Nishang, who was already suffering a lot due to the lack of blood in her body and had to stand for a long time with shackles, finally felt slightly relaxed because of this chair.
"Go and inspect the prison.
I remember that recently there were three Tricksters who were about to resurrect and were imprisoned in a cell, right? Let’s see how they are doing.
Let's talk to them and watch a movie." Fang Gan opened his mouth and was about to send the two jailers away.
The two jailers smiled and did not have any objections. After answering repeatedly, they went to inspect the cells.
"Ms. Yun."
Fang Gan looked at Yun Nishang who was sitting, and pulled a chair for himself, sat down opposite her, and said with a smile: "The disciplinary team has filed three charges against you:
First, they claim that you colluded with outsiders to kill your comrades.
Second, they accuse you of conspiring to steal the power of the Hell.
Thirdly, they claim that you are shielding criminals and are unwilling to reveal specific information about the outsider’s controller, ‘Su Wu’.
Do you admit to these three crimes?"
Yun Nishang's face was expressionless and she didn't even respond to Fang Gan's words.
"Someone has now locked down the specific residence of 'Su Wu' and has begun to send people to his residence to closely monitor this person.
Ms. Yun, your persistence is meaningless." Fang Gan stared at Yun Nishang and said softly, "What is there about Su Wu that makes you unwilling to reveal the slightest information about him even in this situation?
Do you have such a good relationship?
However, according to the investigation data, the two of you have not had any intersection before. It was only because of the strange incident in Longshan Collection that you met.
Why bother?
To make such a huge sacrifice for someone you just met by chance?"
When Yun Nishang heard that Fang Qian said that "someone has now targeted Su Wu's residence," her eyes trembled, and her expression could not hide her guilt.
She bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth and still didn't say a word.
"I understand."
Looking at Yun Nishang's expression, Fang Qian suddenly realized and said: "Actually, you also know that your insistence on not revealing Su Wu's information will not prevent him from being found.
Avoid being 'disturbed'.
It's just that you are still a little naive,
I have become a master of tricks, but I still want to stick to the bottom line and be conscientious.
So insist on keeping it secret.
Is it right?"
Hearing this, Yun Nishang raised her head and glanced at him.
"But this is meaningless." Fang Qian smiled gently and shook his head, "When they find Su Wu, all they have to do is tell Su Wu that it was the clues you provided that led to his whereabouts being exposed and arrested.
Do you think, in his eyes, you are still a person with a bottom line and a conscience?"
He spoke slowly, with a kind face and gentle tone.
The words he spoke were like the most vicious and insidious words uttered by the devil.
Listening to Fang Gan's words, Yun Nishang's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and large masses of abnormal blood surged on her pale face - the chains wrapped around her hands made her skin and bones creak!
"You bastard!"
"There are no normal people coming out of your prison!"
"I really regret-"
"You only know now that you regret it?
You should have regretted it a long time ago!" Fang Gan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, "If you hadn't returned to the Countermeasures Department office so honestly,
Not so obediently waiting for questioning,
How will you end up like this? You still have the energy to escape.
There is even a chance to turn the situation around.
But you are so honest and well-behaved..."
"What do you know!"
Yun Nishang roared sharply, her expression not human-like: "I am for——"
As soon as she said a few words, she suddenly seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and the ferocious expression on her face suddenly disappeared.
Became suddenly cold.
She kept silent.
I feel that those ideals of my own,
What I thought was the overall situation was actually ridiculously stupid and hypocritical.
So, she calmed down for a moment, looked at Fang Qian, nodded and said, "You're right."
Fang Qian looked at her for a few seconds.
Suddenly he grinned: "It seems you have understood something.
This is right.
If a finger is gangrenous, the best response is to cut it off rather than to preserve it and keep it looking good overall.
A piece of meat should also be removed if it is rotten.
Instead of painting it with makeup to make it look good.
You seem to have understood this truth?
If you understand,
I'll show you two ways."
Yun Nishang looked at him silently.
"First one, you will stay in the Iron Tower Mountain Prison from now on and don't go out." Fang Gan stretched out a finger and said.
"Those imprisoned in the prison will become criminals in the future." Yun Nishang said.
Fang Gan spread his hands: "You just don't understand the concept.
How can people who manage prisoners be confused with prisoners?
Are those two jailers just abnormal?
Don't confuse them with those of us who manage prisoners just because you have come into contact with a few prisoners who came out of the prison..."
"Since you don't want to choose this,
There is a second way.
How about I make some disguises for you and arrange for you and my brother Fang Yuan to spy on Su Wu together?"
Monitor Su Wu?
Looking at Fang Gan's eyes, Yun Nishang fell silent.
She actually vaguely guessed something in her heart.
But if I think about it carefully, I can't really break through the window paper and push away the clouds and mist to see the dawn.
"My brother is an ordinary person.
The Trickster he partnered with before was a prisoner who came out of the Trickster Prison.
This person has now been mentally polluted by the prison, and is very likely to become a "sex criminal". He is a man of both genders.
I think it is already very unsafe for Fang Yuan to partner with him.
So I’ll put you in disguise and go with Fang Yuan to spy on Su Wu instead of him - what do you think?"
"I choose this."
His mind quickly went through Fang Gan's words before and after.
Yun Nishang suddenly realized something.
By the time the other party finished speaking, she had already nodded and made her choice.
"good.
I originally hoped you would choose the second one.
After all, you have been in contact before and are relatively familiar with each other." Fang Qian smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
He stood up and faced Yun Nishang sideways.
Then he said, "Wait a moment. I'll bring Xu Jin out and help you complete your disguise."
As he spoke, Fang Qian's whole body suddenly felt a cold and mysterious feeling. A layer of white paper appeared from under his feet, with him as the center, spreading out to the surroundings. In an instant, Yun Nishang was also brought into this 'white paper ghost'. !
Among the white paper ghosts, there are paper crosses standing one after another.
Many of the crosses were empty, and there was only one cross on which a person was squirming and struggling.
The man looked very casual,
His face was full of ferocity, and pairs of pale arms jumped out of his eyes, constantly tearing at the paper shackles that were wrapped around his limbs.
But every time the shackles were torn apart, a cold and mysterious charm would come again, binding him again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Xu Jin!"
Fang Gan waved to the man on the cross.
The cross was instantly dragged by an invisible force and brought to Fang Gan.
Xu Jin, who just now had a ferocious look on his face and cursed viciously, suddenly trembled when he heard Fang Gan's voice!
By the time he appeared in front of Fang Gan, the ferocious look on his face had long since disappeared.
All that remains is great fear!
Fang Gan, who was opposite him, was looking at him with a smile, but he felt like he was falling into an ice cave, trembling all over and unable to control himself!
"Team, captain..."
Xu Jin trembled and spoke.
"Ah." Fang Gan nodded, and a drawing board appeared in front of him.
He was holding a tray in his hand, which was filled with various oil paints: "Xu Jin, I plan to let this Ms. Yun take your place and complete something with Fang Yuan.
What do you think?"
"Replace me?" Xu Jin's eyes were horrified, "Then where should I go?"
"Of course you will replace this lady and stay in the prison." Fang Gan began to sketch on the drawing board. He stared at the drawing board intently and said softly, "Now, the evil spirit in your body is about to resurrect, and you have been convicted again. The memory is too deeply polluted.
When you were in Mingzhou, Fang Yuan gave you five warnings.
Warning for the first time to pinch young girl's buttocks,
Warning you for the second time to beat up sex workers,
the third time……
Xu Jin, your situation is getting more and more serious.
If you don't carry out closed detention, I'm afraid you will make a big mistake."
"Closed detention..."
Hearing Fang Gan mention "closed detention", Xu Jin became excited: "You are simply avenging a private vendetta!
Because I have taken refuge with Inspector Xiao and will no longer follow you, you have to use this method to punish me. If Inspector Xiao finds out..."
"You actually dare to blatantly say in front of me that you are a 25-year-old?
It’s okay to be a second- or fifth-year-old.
But because you are going to be the second and fifth son, you almost killed a vice-captain who possessed a ghost." Fang Gan stopped the brush in his hand and looked at Xu Jin, "So, whether it is public or private, I will lock you in a secret. What's not allowed in prison?"
"Inspector Xiao will help me!"
"His son just died, so he is probably not in the mood to help you - a fool like you is just a disposable consumable to him.
Using this consumable item of yours, a vice-captain with ghosts has been greatly damaged in combat. His goal has been achieved.
Then why would he take the risk of breaking up with me and take you away?" Fang Gan continued to sketch on the drawing board.
"You were our captain,
Didn't you also seek refuge in the Prison - you can do it, why can't we?!" Xu Jin's eyes turned red.
Fang Gan completed the outline of the picture.
He put down the brush and took out a piece of paper as thin as a cicada, like a mask, from the drawing board.
There appears to be some oil mining rendering on the paper.
Holding the thin paper in both hands, Fang Gan walked to the cross that bound Xu Jin and sighed: "So, you don't understand anything at all..."
The mask-like paper was gently attached to Xu Jin's face,
Xu Jin struggled violently,
Fang Gan kept stroking the paper covering his face with his hands, and the paper gradually became the same as human skin color.
It highlights the facial features.
The paper continued to spread around Xu Jin,
Xu Jin's chest gradually became taller and his body frame became slender.
One minute later,
His long hair is flowing,
It has become the same as Yun Nishang.
His eyes were blurred, and he no longer had the vitality that he had previously shown when he struggled desperately.
Swish, swish, swish...
A layer of dark yellow skin peeled off the beauty's body and was picked up by Fang Qian. He handed the dark yellow skin to the real Yun Nishang: "You don't need to bother to imitate Xu Jin. Put it on." Just human skin.
You still have to pay attention to managing your expressions and don’t show off your feminine side casually.”
…
Su Wu's consciousness slowly returned.
He did "homework" for an hour in the chaotic void today.
Crush nearly a hundred evil humanoids.
But after smashing so many sinful human figures, only one inscription '狋' was condensed.
It seems that the extension of the mysterious inscriptions is random. It does not mean that an equal number of mysterious inscriptions will be condensed out no matter how many evil humanoids are smashed.
Su Wu rolled up the pencil drawings on the wall and put them into a safe.
He turned his thoughts around at will,
The shadows under his feet were boiling from time to time, and suddenly a person stood up, wrapping him into a dark human shape.
Su Wu's "meaning" moved the hand of the zombie ghost,
As a result, the viscous black liquid covering both of his shoulders boiled, and two faucet heads extended out.
A strong and mysterious rhyme gathers in the dragon's mouth.
As long as Su Wu has a thought, they can spray out surging 'dragon breath'!
The beast-shaped fist that Su Wu learned before did not include the 'dragon shape'. Using the beast-shaped fist to control the hands of the zombie ghost only added the melee application of the zombie ghost's hands.
But now, after condensing the 'Dragon Ring' countless times, Su Wu's intention can be involved in the hands of the corpse ghost, causing it to evolve into a 'dragon shape'.
The 'dragon breath' sprayed out is no longer a melee application.
But a long-range attack!
'Dragon's Breath' can instantly cover the enemy and suppress the enemy's charm. A weak trickster is likely to be completely restrained and unable to move after receiving a breath of dragon's breath!
Su Wu became familiar with the use of dragon shapes,
Soon all the charm was taken back into the body and became ordinary.
He opened the study door and walked into the living room.
I went to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator. While I was drinking water, there was a knock on the door.
Through the peephole at the door, Su Wu saw Shen Hao standing outside.
Then he opened the door.
"Let's go, let's eat the big bones!"
Shen Hao held the car keys in his hand. When he saw Su Wu at the door, he was about to pull him out. Su Wu responded, turned around, locked the door, and followed Shen Hao to the elevator downstairs.
After leaving the community,
Go and start the car,
Su Wu followed behind and looked at the surrounding environment.
In the past few years, there have been some changes around this community.
Some shops have been relocated,
Some restaurants closed down.
Next to the hardware store outside the community gate, a new lottery shop opened.
The lottery shop has set up an awning outside, arranged several rows of tables and chairs, and is using speakers to play the slogan "Scratch Offs" to attract people to buy scratch offs.
But now the front door of the lottery shop is crowded.
No one went to scratch prizes or buy lottery tickets inside.
Su Wu remembered that Zhou Yang had asked him to help buy a few lottery tickets before, and walked towards the lottery shop.
Shen Hao drove over and followed Su Wu into the store.
In the lottery shop.
The store owner, who looked polite and slim, was holding an electric kettle and pouring water into a bowl of instant noodles of an unknown brand.
As the water pours into the bowl, an appetite-stimulating aroma spreads in the shop.
Shen Hao, who was following Su Wu, smelled the aroma and his nose twitched. He couldn't help but ask the shop owner: "Boss, what kind of instant noodles are these? It smells so good."
"The fragrance of grass.
We are an old local brand, don’t you know?” The shop owner replied with a smile, put down the kettle and put the instant noodle bowl aside.
He turned to Su and Wu and asked, "Do you want to buy lottery tickets?
Or scratch-off tickets or something?”
"Buy ten lottery tickets." Su Wu answered and reported a series of numbers, "06, 17, 09, 24, 03, 05..."
While he was talking, the machine started playing lottery tickets.
The lottery machine spits out lottery tickets one by one.
The shop owner folded the lottery tickets and handed them to Su Wu: "I wish you good luck."
Su Wu smiled and turned around to leave.
At this time,
He heard a rustling sound in the small cubicle on one side of the store, as if someone was about to come out of it.
So I took a look in that direction.
Plop!
There was a sound of someone falling to the ground in the compartment.
"Honey, what are you doing?" Hearing this voice, the store owner quickly stood up, walked around the counter, and ran to the compartment.
In the cubicle, there was no movement after the sound that sounded like someone falling to the ground.
Even the store owner didn't make a sound when he walked inside.
"Tsk... You have a wife and you can only eat instant noodles?" At this time, Shen Hao looked at the instant noodle bowl on the shop owner's computer table and said with emotion.
Su Wu's eyes fell on the half-open instant noodle bowl.
The strange fragrance that makes one's index fingers tremble is once again lingering in the nostrils.
"gone."
He didn't notice anything unusual, so he put the lottery ticket into his arms.
