To be honest, the reaction of Chief Tao and others was what Du Weiguo had expected.
It was broad daylight and the world was clear. Anyone who heard what he said would first react with nonsense.
However, Du Weiguo is not just talking nonsense.
Although I haven’t seen what this thing is, since it can control hundreds of vines, it must not be human or animal.
This thing is also intelligent, and it also wants to have mental hallucinations and attack methods, so there is nothing wrong with calling it an old tree demon.
At this moment, Section Chief Tao and the others in front of Du Weiguo opened their eyes wide, with expressions on their faces that said, "I'm not very educated, don't you dare try to lie to me."
Du Weiguo, dumbfounded, turned his head and pursed his lips, his tone a little helpless:
"Tao Ke, I'm not kidding you. I broke one of the old tree demon's legs and brought it back. You can see for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Jikang and the others quickly looked in the direction of Du Weiguo's mouth.
There is a rope behind Du Weiguo, and a red gradient vine is dragged at the end of the rope.
Because the vine dragged a little far, Tao Jikang and the others didn't notice it at first.
Now I quickly ran to the vines to take a closer look.
One of them, the younger one, ran the fastest and even bent down to reach out his hand to touch him.
Du Weiguo quickly lowered his voice and roared:
"Don't touch it, this thing is poisonous!"
The young man was immediately frightened, and he jumped back several meters as if there was a spring on his body.
Chief Tao gave him a hard look secretly, what an embarrassing guy!
But he did not scold loudly, but stared down at the broken red vine. This is what Du Weiguo said, the leg of a thousand-year-old demon!
After looking at it for a while, I realized that although the color of the vine was a bit strange and there were barbs and mucus on the surface, it was just a section of vine after all.
Chief Tao looked a little strange and asked hesitantly: "Du Chu, tell me, do you think this is the leg of a thousand-year-old tree demon?"
Du Weiguo knew what his doubts were. If it were him, he wouldn't believe such a mysterious statement.
He smiled bitterly, his tone somewhat helpless:
"Well, that's right. Before this thing was interrupted, it was like a living snake and anaconda, extremely flexible and fast.
This is just one section, probably less than half the length, and there are hundreds of them, and when they rush over together, they cover the sky and the sun."
hiss!
When they heard that these things were like snakes and could move, and there were hundreds of them, Chief Tao and the others suddenly took a breath of air.
He immediately understood why Du Weiguo said that this was an old tree demon that had become a spirit. He also instantly understood why Du Weiguo said that he could not defeat him.
Hundreds of giant pythons that are more than 10 meters long are swarming up. Who the hell can beat them?
"Du Chu, you said, these things can move, and there are hundreds of them, so they won't come down the mountain on their own initiative, right?"
Chief Tao asked with a somewhat solemn tone. His worries were not unreasonable, but Du Weiguo shook his head gently:
"These hundreds of vines should be controlled by a body, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
But thinking about it, its body must be extremely huge, and it is most likely a tree with roots. It is estimated that it is unrealistic to move it.
By the way, Tao Ke, go and ask the comrades at the town police station and the elderly in the commune if they have anything to say about the Taoist temple on Huangqi Mountain!"
"Taoist temple?"
Section Chief Tao repeated the term, his expression slightly moved, Du Weiguo nodded, his tone was calm:
"Yes, there is a small Taoist temple that has been abandoned for many years on the mountain. The real body of this thing is hidden in this abandoned Taoist temple. You go and investigate it in detail.
In addition, please quickly notify the county bureau and comrades from the police station to close the mountain completely. I will wait for you in front of the jeep, and then we will quickly return to the county."
"yes!"
Investigating things was Tao Jikang's specialty. They were familiar with it and confident. He immediately turned around and trotted away with his two men.
An hour and a half later, the door of the conference room that had been converted from the cafeteria of the Hanshou County Guest House was closed.
There was this strange red vine on the table, and a group of leaders gathered around it to examine it.
Director Ma raised his head, glanced at Du Weiguo who was smoking, and asked hesitantly:
"Director Du, are you saying that the culprit of the series of disappearances in Huangqishan is the vine itself?"
Du Weiguo exhaled the smoke, nodded very calmly, and said with great certainty:
"Yes, it must be it."
No one continued to speak, obviously waiting for him to continue explaining. Du Weiguo put out his cigarette butt and said in a deep voice:
"After I went up the mountain, I walked for about 30 minutes. When I reached the end of the Chai Road, I continued walking forward when I heard a woman's faint shout~~~"
Everyone present is a participant in this project, and they are all within the scope of confidentiality, so these things can be said.
Du Weiguo told the story without reservation and in detail what happened before and after he went up the mountain and met this "monster".
After finishing speaking, there was silence in the temporary command room, you could hear the drop of a needle, and everyone was sweating. According to Du Weiguo's description.
This thing can create mental confusion in terms of sounds and smells, and it is also the most desired desire in the heart.
At the same time, he also has the ability to hypnotize and mesmerize, and even has a high level of intelligence.
Its physical attack capability is basically equivalent to hundreds of giant pythons of about 20 meters, attacking in groups at the same time, combining the above factors.
This thing is indeed an old tree demon that has become a spirit!
Du Weiguo was the one who went up just now. If it had been any other person present, he would have been dead.
Du Weiguo put out his cigarette butt, stood up, looked around the audience, and said in a calm tone:
"Dear leaders, the identity of this thing is unknown. We temporarily named it "Blood Vine", and the codename of this operation will be "Blood Vine".
This was the first time Du Weiguo gave an operation a code name. He paused and glanced at everyone present. No one looked strange and they were still listening attentively.
Du Weiguo continued:
"Its current body is entrenched in a Taoist temple that has been abandoned for many years in Huangqi Mountain.
Chief Tao has already investigated. This Taoist temple is called Wushan Temple. In the late Qing Dynasty, its incense had been cut off and it was destroyed in the war.
It is said that in the early years, there were hunters from nearby who would occasionally rest in the Taoist temple, and then in 39 AD.
A small team came here and temporarily stationed themselves in the Taoist temple. The situation is very similar to the current situation.
I saw people going up the mountain, but no one came down. These little days all disappeared inexplicably.
This place gradually became deserted, and even woodcutters and hunters stopped going here, and it was gradually submerged by the dense forest."
As soon as Du Weiguo finished speaking, Director Wang from the Liucheng City Bureau stood up and asked anxiously:
"Director Du, are you saying that this damn thing is a remnant of your childhood?"
Du Weiguo did not nod immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying:
"Wang Ju, we don't have any concrete evidence right now, so I can't confirm this conclusion yet.
But I have every reason to suspect that this evil thing must have been the work of those crazy little days back then.
Not only did they kill themselves at that time, but now this ghost has jumped out to harm others!"
"Boom"!
Wang Tiejun punched the table hard and cursed angrily:
"These damn little days in Japan, I have eight generations of ancestors!"
The reason why he is so angry is understandable.
Wang Tiejun is 47 years old this year. His entire family, including his parents, brothers, wife and children, were all killed by his childhood.
His elder brother is the only one left in the family. It can be said that the hatred is as deep as the sea, and the blood feud is so strong that it cannot be resolved.
After more than 20 years, the evils left behind by these beasts came out again to harm people. Naturally, Wang Tiejun was so angry that his eyes were splitting!
Du Weiguo fully understood his indignation and did not persuade him. Instead, he waited for him to calm down a little before he said in a deep voice:
"Wang Ju, Liucheng is the closest to here. I'm afraid I have to ask for your help. I need a flamethrower and a white phosphorus incendiary grenade.
My weight-bearing capacity is 40 kilograms, so as much of these things as you want, the more the better!
No matter what, we have to get rid of this harmful thing as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ju immediately slapped his chest, his face flushed, and he assured without hesitation:
"No problem, Director Du, I will take care of all these things. I will get them all for you in one go at night!
Our bureau already has a brand-new American flame gun, but are you sure you want to go up there yourself?"
Du Weiguo nodded and said in a solemn tone:
"Well, this Blood Vine's method is very weird. If other comrades are controlled, the situation may become more complicated. I'd better go up there myself."
"Du Chu, you are so awesome! This is definitely the case! I, Lao Wang, admire you! When you come down from the mountain, I have to have a good drink with you!"
Wang Ju had a straight-forward personality and gave Du Weiguo a thumbs up.
His attitude and the consideration he had when they first met yesterday have completely changed 180 degrees.
Everyone is an expert and can easily distinguish between true and false, so naturally they will not think that Du Weiguo is making up stories.
Facing this monster like a tree demon, the others might not even have the bones and dregs left behind.
Du Weiguo went up there and not only came down the whole thing, but he also brought back a severed limb of this thing.
Faced with such a weird and terrifying opponent, Du Weiguo still decided to go up the mountain alone tomorrow. This alone says it all!
