To me, the situation in the Land of the Dead is a mess.
Yu Bushun, the corrupted Mobei branch, the criminal village composed of wanted criminals, as well as all kinds of undead, big and small, and all kinds of exorcists seeking life inside.
No one knows who is related to Academician Han’s disappearance.
If you want to save people, you must first understand who is harming them.
These days, intelligence sources are very important. When the resources of the Mobei branch cannot be used, all Zhang Sanfen can use is his own connections.
Zhang Sanfen told me as he drove straight to Sunit Right Banner.
This small county is close to the border, with a vast area and sparsely populated areas.
The streets in the county town are very wide, but there are very few pedestrians and vehicles.
Because the second-hand car we bought had a local license plate, it was very inconspicuous when driving in the county.
We walked around the county town twice and then chose a hotel to check in.
After finishing his work, Zhang Sanfen made a phone call and said, "Old cripple, I'm back."
A surprised voice came from the other side: "Zhang San? You are a bitch and you still know how to come back!"
"I thought you forgot about me, brother!"
"Where are you now?"
Zhang Sanfen smiled and said: "I'm at Jiayue Hotel."
The person on the other side said angrily: "What a bastard Zhang San! You look down on my old brother, don't you?"
"If you don't stay at my brother's house when you come to Sunit, why should you stay in a hotel?"
"Wait! I'll go find you!"
Zhang Sanfen said hurriedly: "No, I came here with work this time and I can't stay at your place."
The person on the other side was very dissatisfied and said: "Sneaking around must be the work of the grandsons from the Secret Bureau again!"
"What, do you need my help?"
Zhang Sanfen said: "Recommend a more reliable car modification shop to me. I want to go to the land of the dead. I'm afraid the performance of the car is not enough."
"Also, I need some information. About the local secret bureau and Yu Bushun."
The person on the other side was silent for a moment and said: "Zhang San, I have something to advise you. The Land of the Dead has not been very peaceful recently. It is rumored that a corpse demon has appeared in it, and many people have died."
"I saw this with my own eyes. When many corpses were taken out, their hearts were gone."
Zhang Sanfen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Corpse Demon?"
The old cripple said: "That's right. The Mobei Branch has issued a reminder, advising exorcists not to enter the Land of the Dead during this time."
"When the corpse demon was first born, it needed human hearts to replenish itself. It would follow the scent of living people to hunt them down."
Zhang Sanfen frowned. He was not sure whether the first two rescue teams had encountered a corpse demon.
But even if you encounter a corpse demon, someone must come back alive so that there is no news until now.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Sanfen suddenly asked: "Besides the corpse demon, is there anything else wrong in the Land of the Dead?"
"For the wanted criminals in Sin Village, has there been an increase in material purchases?"
"Did anything unusual happen at the Styx Black Shop?"
The old cripple said: The wanted criminals from the Sin Village have been very diligent in coming out recently and purchased a lot of supplies. I also heard that there may be wanted criminals from abroad who crossed the border from Outer Mongolia and entered the Land of the Dead."
"But I'm not sure whether it's true or not. You know, those guys are very cautious. If I hadn't noticed something wrong with the purchase list, I might not even know this."
Zhang Sanfen asked again: "Who is the wanted criminal entering the country? What level is it?"
The old cripple said: "I don't know. But I can help you pay attention."
Even I realize that the situation is more complicated than we imagined.
I'm afraid this mission won't be easy.
I glanced at Zhang Sanfen, and he said to the phone: "Okay, old cripple, let's talk about business."
"Find one for me at a car modification shop. Also, prepare a set of supplies for me and find an errand boy to send them to me."
"The situation in the Land of the Dead is a bit wrong. It's better for me to keep a low profile."
The old madman answered simply: "No problem!"
"Go to Lao Lu Auto Repair Shop to modify your car. He is not from the industry, but his craftsmanship is very good. Also, are the things still the same?"
"Do you want a weapon? I have a long guy here!"
Zhang Sanfen pondered for a moment and said: "I still don't want it. This thing is of no use to experts. And I'm going to the Styx Black Shop. It's too eye-catching to bring this thing with me."
The old cripple said: "Okay! Put your affairs first! I'll make sure it's done before dark!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Sanfen's face looked very ugly.
He was silent for a while and then said: "Old He, I'm afraid this job is quite troublesome."
"You have to be mentally prepared."
I said with a smile: "Okay, has it ever been easier to work with you?"
"Are you worried about the corpse demon?"
Zhang Sanfen said: "The corpse demon is just a fart!"
"Old He, remember what I said, people are always scarier than ghosts! Especially those wanted criminals, they are simply inhumane guys!"
"There is also Yu Bushun. I always feel that the corpse demon is inseparable from Yu Bushun!"
"Damn it, I told Mr. Hu a long time ago that I asked him to rectify the secret bureau. After so many years, there are always people who will be corrupted by money and power. But he won't listen!"
Zhang Sanfen cursed a few words there, and then said: "Let's go! Let's modify the car first! If we don't have a car in the Land of the Dead, we might even break our legs!"
Since we plan not to mobilize the resources of the Mobei Branch, we have to do everything.
Fortunately, the old cripple has lived in Sunit Right Banner for a long time and is considered a standard local snake.
With him preparing things, I can rest assured about logistics.
Lao Lu Auto Repair Shop is not large in scale. There are dozens of various scrap cars and second-hand cars in the yard.
He was working when we went there. Hearing that it was the old cripple who introduced him, he immediately put down what he was doing and prepared to help us do it first.
It's just that modifying a car is not a matter of one or two days. According to Zhang Sanfen's request, Lao Lu said that even if all the workers in the factory took turns working day and night, it would take at least three days.
However, I have already come here, and I am not missing these three days.
