When I saw Mustache arriving in a dusty state, I felt as if I had done something wrong. The previous big incident had troubled us for a long time, and we had managed to live in peace for two years before this difficult situation arose again.
.If it doesn’t involve someone very important to me, I don’t want to drag Mustache into it for other things.
But there was no need to say any extra polite words to him, because he saw the hidden apology on my face. He patted me and smiled slightly.
"This is Lao Zhao." The mustache pointed at the slovenly middle-aged man next to him, and then said to him: "This is my brother."
While I was talking with Mustache, this middle-aged man named Lao Zhao was picking his nose, as if he was having a great time. After that, he stretched out the hand that was used to pick his nose and shook my hand vigorously.
The three of us sat down to talk. I had already told Xiaozhu about the details of the incident, and they got some very important information in a hurry.
"The place you mentioned happened before. It happened a long time ago." Old Zhao stopped picking his nose, but I could clearly see that his feet were resting on the chair, and the hand he was using to pick his nose was picking his toes.
, said: "That matter has even been noticed by the military commander."
Old Zhao was very sloppy, but what he told was the truth. What Mustache and I told was mainly what happened to the travelers themselves. As for the engineer camp that disappeared in the dense forest during the Anti-Japanese War, he didn’t mention a word. However, Old Zhao
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
When talking about this matter, Lao Zhao also mentioned the Special Operations Section of the Military Internal Support Team. Up to now, few people know about this Special Operations Section, and at that time, few people knew the true background of this department.
Many. The Special Operations Section does not belong to the Sixth Office of the Eighth Internal Service Department of the Military Command. It is independent from these departments and is directly responsible to the top leader of the Military Command.
When it comes to military control, many people naturally think of words like spies, assassinations, and intelligence. However, Lao Zhao said that the Special Operations Division does not do these things. Their tasks are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This department is responsible for investigating all kinds of supernatural phenomena across the country.
phenomena and events.
"I can't believe it." Old Zhao grinned, chewing the soaked tea leaves in the cup with his hands, and said: "The disappearance of the New 30th Division's engineer battalion there has been registered in the Special Operations Section, and the registration number is
0316.”
In fact, during the Kuomintang's rule, incidents similar to the disappearance of the New 30th Division's engineer battalion were not the same. During the Japanese army's campaign to open up the mainland's communication line, a Japanese reorganized regiment disappeared inexplicably while marching through a mountainous area.
More than two thousand people were thrown into the mountains and disappeared completely without even turning up the bubbles.
Information about this incident was tightly sealed. After that, the Special Operations Division conducted an investigation. As for the final result, it is classified as top secret and no one knows.
In comparison, the incident of the disappearance of the engineering battalion was much smaller in scale and impact. The Special Operations Division also intervened in the investigation and sent people to the location of the incident. However, according to Lao Zhao, three groups of people were sent there at that time, and all of them were
There was no return, and it happened to be a critical period when Japan was preparing to surrender, so the matter was dropped.
"Do you think there is any possibility that the disappearance of the engineer battalion and the disappearance of the travelers are related to each other?"
"According to what you said, the two things cannot be brought together." Lao Zhao swallowed a handful of chewed tea leaves, drank water to rinse his mouth, and said, "We will see the specific situation when we go to the place where the incident occurred."
"And this." I took out the small metal box I found next to the body of the British special forces soldier and handed it to Lao Zhao and Xiao Hu.
This old Zhao knew a lot of things, and they were very complicated. He looked at the small box for a while and said, "I don't know if I can see it correctly. It looks like a box used to store emergency anatomy injections a long time ago."
."
This thing is used to equip troops with special tasks and high-risk working groups. It appeared very early, probably in the 1930s and 1940s. Because there were no high-strength plastic products at that time, people carrying anesthesia agents were in complex situations.
When performing complex tasks in a terrain environment, it is necessary to ensure that the first aid injection can be preserved intact so that it can be used at any time. This exquisite box is, to put it bluntly, the protective shell of the injection.
"This shell has been tampered with." Old Zhao grinned and tried to open the small box, but to no avail.
"Is there a way to get it open?" I immediately asked, because the judgment in my heart has never disappeared. Although I don't have any evidence to prove that this thing is what the British special forces are eager to take away, but my intuition
Conquered everything.
"Let me try."
Lao Zhao went out for a trip and came back soon. He got some things and started working on the table. After about ten minutes, he opened the tightly sealed end of the small box.
"Is it an ampoule?"
This thumb-thick metal box contains a very thin glass bottle, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not an ampoule. Because the small bottle does not match the outer shell, the bottle has broken at some point.
It's dry inside. It's impossible for the British to carry an empty bottle for no reason. It's just that the contents of the bottle leaked or evaporated. In short, it disappeared.
"Is this what he wants to take away?" I had a strong doubt. What could be packed in such a thin glass bottle?
"There were words on the outside of the bottle, but they were scratched off." Lao Zhao said to me while holding the broken bottle: "There is only a vague Arabic numeral left, which should be 1."
Everything in between has been buried with the death of the British special forces soldier. No matter how we speculate, it is impossible to know his purpose and the contents of the bottle.
Mustache sat nearby and watched quietly. It wasn't until he had finished saying everything that he needed to say that he asked me: "What's going on with Zhang Hou's team?"
"That's a very strange thing too."
I recounted the process word by word and the performance and actions of everyone in the team. No matter if I told anyone about this situation, they would think that the team didn’t want to do it anymore and would give up the team halfway. When I finished everything
Afterwards, I thought about it and truthfully stated my true thoughts at that time.
"Not only them, but I myself can't help but suspect that Hero Lei may be dead, and we will die too if we move forward."
Mustache did not express an opinion and turned his attention to Lao Zhao. After finishing his tea, Lao Zhao started to smoke again, one cigarette after another. He asked me carefully for some details, and then asked me: "Before this situation happened in the team,
Have you encountered anything surprising?"
"The conditions on the road were not good, but we walked quite smoothly. If there was anything surprising, it was the bodies of the British special forces soldiers and a pool of blood that appeared on the way. Apart from that, there was really nothing else.
."
"Bloodstains? What kind of bloodstains?"
"It should be human blood. It seeped into the soil. The shape is very abstract." I took a piece of paper and drew the general shape of the blood stain.
Lao Zhao took the paper and thought about it for a long time, and then said to me: "You are very unlucky. You must have met a master."
"How to say?"
"According to what you said, there are so many people in the entire team, and all of them suddenly showed that emotion, including you. This does not rule out the influence of psychological suggestion."
When Lao Zhao was picking his feet, he looked like a migrant worker carrying a big bag at the train station, but when he talked about it, he looked like a well-read scholar. Regarding the topic of psychological suggestion, if he really wanted to write about it, he would have to write at least a few eloquent articles.
To put it simply, psychological suggestion is a psychological characteristic produced by a person or a group of people who accept the influence of the outside world and others.
In this era, psychological hints are not uncommon and can be seen in many places. However, they are the simplest and most superficial hints and do not have much impact on people's thoughts. But if there are experts who specialize in these
, it is very likely that this influence will be infinitely expanded through means.
In psychological suggestion, one of the most significant features is that there is a problem with the psychological mechanism of the person being affected, and the subjectivity is affirmed by an assumption. Because his own subjectivity has been affirmed, from his point of view, even though there is no basis for something
, but his psychology will unconsciously tend to be subjective.
To give a very simple example, a psychological suggester forced the hypothesis that my home was stolen on me through some means (perhaps language, actions, images, or other). I was influenced and subjectively accepted this hypothesis.
Then the psychology also changes with subjectivity. I have not seen my home stolen with my own eyes, but I am convinced of this statement, so I naturally feel that it has indeed been stolen. As for why it is definitely stolen, in fact
Even I can't explain it clearly.
The same method of psychological suggestion has different effects on certain groups of people in a certain area, because the suggestion cannot be so straightforward and intuitive, but people's thinking and emotions are affected by the environment, and different people in the same environment
, the impact after accepting the suggestion may not be much different.
I, and even everyone in the entire team, know what we are doing when we go deep into the jungle. We have all witnessed everything along the way and heard about what happened before in the jungle. These are the basic support for the influence of psychological suggestion. So many people
If you think about these things at the same time, the emotions generated are likely to be consistent.
"There must be experts in this field. That pool of blood is the carrier and medium of psychological suggestion." Old Zhao showed two smoky teeth and smiled at me: "You stopped the team halfway, it was quite wise. If
If you force them to continue, you may even collapse in the end."
I was immediately speechless. Who exactly were we encountering?
"Let's set off. We can talk about the rest slowly on the way." Mustache stood up.
"I really want to play with them." Lao Zhao picked his feet and put on his shoes.
