After five days of boring waiting, Cheng Lin finally decided to go out.
"The news in the college is too closed. Even if there are changes, I can't get the news immediately. If I go out and take a look, I may gain something new. Of course, it doesn't need to be too far. I just need to leave the college a certain distance.
You can connect to the Internet signal.”
Standing on the edge of a small park inside the college, looking up at the wall in front of him, Cheng Lin put his cell phone in his pocket, and finally turned around to look around. The bushes were lush and green. It was half past one in the afternoon, but the sky was dark because of the cloudy sky.
.
September is already the beginning of autumn.
The temperature in northern cities has dropped rapidly. Although it is not too cold, the wind has become a bit bleak.
Cheng Lin no longer hesitated, jumped up, and stood on the wall. For practitioners, this wall would naturally not cause any obstacles.
Going out without permission is a serious violation of discipline.
But Cheng Lin couldn't care anymore, his account was already empty, and the way to ask for leave was blocked, so he could only sneak out.
After landing on the wall, he did not jump out directly. Instead, he half-crouched and moved forward quickly along the wall stacks.
After moving to the back of a dormitory, he straightened up and looked at the school gate. Rather than leaving with his legs, he would rather find a way to secretly take a passing bus.
However.
When he looked over, he just saw a car roaring down the road, gradually slowing down, and finally stopping at the school gate.
Thanks to his excellent eyesight, Cheng Lin recognized the license plate of the car at a glance. It was Huang Yin's car!
"Huang Yin is back? Didn't she go on a trip? Returning so soon? Has she already broken through?"
Cheng Lin was surprised, thought for a while, opened his "hazy eyes" and looked towards the door, trying to see if Huang Yin's cultivation had improved.
As the delicate field graphics emerge from the depths of your eyes.
The brilliance of Huang Yin's body appeared in the field of vision, which did not change much from before, and it seemed that it had not broken through.
While he was spying, the car door opened, and Huang Yin, wearing a brown sweatshirt and sunglasses, pushed out the door with a stern expression, and was about to walk into the door. But just after taking two steps, she seemed to sense something, and suddenly
Turning around, he met Cheng Lin's gaze, "Cheng Lin? What are you doing here?"
Cheng Lin was greatly embarrassed. Knowing that he was exposed, he could only jump down, reveal his body from the cover of trees, and hesitated: "I..."
"Go back and stay."
But what he didn't expect was that Huang Yin didn't listen to his explanation. She just waved her hand and said this, then turned around and hurried into the academy.
This surprised him greatly.
"What happened? This is not her character."
Confused, Cheng Lin thought for a while, gave up his plan to go out, and returned to the hospital.
…
…
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Dean Huang is back."
"...Is there anything to say? Doesn't she often travel on business?"
"No, it's different this time. Dean Huang didn't feel right. He came back in a hurry, and immediately called all the leaders of the college to a meeting. It lasted for two or three hours. When the meeting was over, those who attended the meeting
Everyone had a sullen face and looked worried."
During dinner in the evening, Cheng Lin heard some students talking like this.
This made him more determined to wait and see for the time being. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Sun Xiao, asking him if he knew what was said in the meeting.
"I don't know. I haven't heard anything about it. There's no news at all. It's just mysterious. It doesn't seem to be a good thing." Sun Xiao replied. After a pause, he sent another message and asked, "Why do you care about this?
?”
"nothing."
Cheng Lin typed three words, then turned off the phone and strode towards the Academic Affairs Building. Since he was confused, he wanted to ask Huang Yin directly for clarification.
…
"Are you looking for Dean Huang? She has already left."
When he came outside her office, he found that the door was locked. Cheng Lin grabbed a passing clerk and asked, who replied like this.
left?
So fast?
Judging by the time, she came back just for the meeting? She didn’t even take a break? This is not like her character.
Cheng Lin was startled, but he was not disappointed. Instead, his eyes lit up and he continued to ask, "Is Dean Kong here? I want to ask him something."
"I just went out, I don't know where I went," the clerk replied. After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Lin a few times, hesitated, and said, "If anything happens, I'd better go to your class teacher and report it to the counselor. It seems that in the past few days, I'm afraid
Leaders at all levels will be very busy."
"Oh? Are you very busy? Why?"
"...I guessed it too." The clerk looked at him and remained silent. He obviously knew something vaguely, but out of caution in the workplace, he didn't want to say too much. After all, he would make more mistakes.
Watching the other party leave, Cheng Lin stood alone in the empty corridor. Behind him was a window. Clouds gathered outside the window, and the sky was dim. He didn't know if it was going to rain, but it was always gloomy.
The window could only project a pale, pale light.
In this light and shadow, the corners of Cheng Lin's lowered face slowly raised, and the confusion and confusion on his face disappeared, and his eyes were bright and dazzling.
It's very different from the chaotic state of things these past few days.
At this moment, he seemed to be a different person, full of energy.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Lin walked out of the building without staying any longer, without looking for Wang Daming or the counselor. If something big really happened, only the leadership would know the truth, and the people below would only make assumptions, and questioning would be of little value.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already eighteen o'clock.
Cheng Lin did not go to the cafeteria, but climbed over the wall again and left the college. Then he took a passing bus and stayed away from the college. When his mobile phone finally left the college's large intranet coverage area, he connected to the Internet.
Start looking up events that have happened in recent days.
Not too surprising, nothing "big" happened on the Internet. Everything seemed to be business as usual. However, as he learned more and more information, a piece of news caught Cheng Lin's attention.
"Recently, there have been many cases of fishing boat crashes in China, suspected of illegal cultivators causing chaos"
When I clicked on it, it turned out to be a message from a news organization in this province. It said that in recent days, a missing fisherman case had occurred in the province's port. This had attracted the attention of the government and sent people to investigate. The clues pointed to extraordinary abilities and had been handed over to
Jiusi processing.
"Is the illegal cultivator causing chaos? Is Huang Yin's strange reaction because of this incident? It makes sense, but... I always feel that something is wrong."
Cheng Lin frowned.
As spiritual energy recovers, people continue to awaken. Although the number and frequency have stabilized, and relevant measures have been established in major places, some vicious cases will inevitably occur.
There are always some people who have evil thoughts after gaining extraordinary power.
It's hard to prevent.
There should be a lot of similar matters dealt with within the Ninth Division, many more serious than this. Huang Yin is the deputy chief after all... This kind of thing should not alarm her, unless there is something hidden inside.
"For example, the illegal cultivators involved involve foreign forces...or something else."
Thinking about this, he continued reading. Cheng Lin was surprised to find that similar incidents had occurred near Hong Kong Island, that is, in the South China Sea. This vaguely made him smell something strange. Following the clues, he took the initiative to search for relevant information, and then
I was surprised to see a post at the top of the search list:
"The recent martial law at the seaport has another hidden meaning! It is not the so-called casual cultivator at all..."
Due to title restrictions, the remaining half of the post was not displayed. Cheng Lin clicked on it, and a second later, the browser redirected to a blank 404 page.
"The post has been moderated?"
Cheng Lin was surprised.
Clicking return, he re-read the time and URL at the bottom of the post. It was posted on "Lian Shi Bar" and the time was yesterday. There were several similar text links underneath. The tone was vague, but they all pointed to this matter. Cheng Lin
Opening them one by one, I was surprised to find that similar messages were either not discussed by anyone, were extremely vague in tone, or had been blocked.
After thinking about it, the most popular social news like this should be on Weibo. I opened the official website and scanned the hot search list... There were no related topics.
"This is very strange. Logically speaking, this kind of thing can be a hot search topic."
Cheng Lin clicked on the search again and entered keywords. The results were completely blank, with only a line of small words displayed: According to relevant laws and regulations, the search results will not be displayed.
"really."
Cheng Lin was not surprised but overjoyed. After thinking about it, he went to the spiritual cultivation forum again and opened the provincial section. It was a coincidence that as soon as he clicked on it, he saw the latest post: "The case of the missing fishing boat, with pictures."
There is truth!》
The posting time was 20 seconds ago. Cheng Lin quickly opened the post and saw only a blurry picture.
It looks like it was taken with a mobile phone. The sky is dark and the scenery is blurry. The main subject of the picture is a box truck with an open back and a wide wooden board hanging diagonally downwards. There are small lapels around the truck, about 30 meters long.
Seven or eight.
One of them is stuffing something into the cargo box. Most of it has been stuffed, and only a small section is exposed in the picture. It is too blurry, so the details cannot be seen clearly. If you look at it, it looks like a crocodile tail, but it is huge.
Many times.
In the distance, the background of the picture is the endless sea, which is dark and deep, and the atmosphere is depressing.
Cheng Lin scrolled down and saw that a netizen had already replied: Couldn't you use a mobile phone with a night view to take pictures?
After a moment of silence, Cheng Lin clicked refresh, and as expected, found that the post had disappeared. It seemed that it had been deleted by the administrator.
After scanning the rest of the posts in the forum, none of them involve related events.
"It seems that something has indeed happened. The case of the missing fishing boat in Liangang is probably not simple."
Cheng Lin thought for a moment, opened the group chat, and tentatively asked in the "Senior Cheng Fans Group". He didn't really expect anyone to respond, but he didn't expect that within a few minutes, only a reply popped up in the group.
It’s Wu Shushan from the Seventh Academy.
Probably because the "internship" has not ended yet, so I can receive information outside.
"I don't know the details, but I also heard about this. I just asked the senior brother below. He seemed to know something, but I can't go into details. I just asked me to tell you and be prepared. Your department should be here soon.
The news will be made public."
Wu Shushan said.
Cheng Lin frowned and sent a reply: "Thank you."
Putting away his phone, a car happened to pass by, and he took it directly back to the college.
Climbing in through the courtyard wall, bypassing the artificial lake, and just walking to the front of the library, Cheng Lin's cell phone rang. It was the small group of seven of them.
The person who sent the message was Sun Xiao, and there was only one message:
"@All members Deputy Chief Yang came back just now! He was injured!!"
