"At the beginning, there were mass deaths in some villages outside the city, and then it gradually spread to the city. The cause of death was that the souls were devoured. It is a typical disaster caused by the spiritual tribe.
It's fine during the day, but it's terrifying at night. If I walk around the city with the bell I got from Mr. Zhang, the bell will ring in almost every street.
At the beginning, we didn’t think much about it. When the bell rang, we would look for the spirit clan in the hope of exterminating the rebellious spirits. But the loss of manpower was too great. Only later did we realize that the situation in Lianshan City was different from other places. Not only are the tribes extremely numerous, they are also very powerful. They are somewhat beyond the capabilities of our Special Cases Division."
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to express his position. According to Shen Wujiu, Lianshan City was not only in "chaos" but also in trouble.
"With so many ghosts, it shouldn't be a big problem to sweep through Lianshan City, right?" Zhang Yan secretly thought to himself. With the number of ghosts and their special nature in the wilderness, a Lianshan City cannot handle them. But the problem is Now the people in the Special Cases Department are afraid of being killed, and all the demons here have been temporarily killed. But even so, even the mountain city has not been swept by ghosts, and even if people are panicked, it will not be completely chaotic. .
What does this mean?
"It seems that the spirit tribe here in Lianshan City does not want to completely destroy the city, but has other reasons for the current situation." Shen Wujiu put forward his own guess. He came to Zhang Yan for a special case. Si needs to gain some necessary confidence, because there can't be constant casualties here. With Zhang Yan in charge, he has the courage to explore what is strange about Lianshan City.
Zhang Yan nodded, his guess was similar to Shen Wujiu's. There must be something special about Lianshan City, otherwise it wouldn't be so strange.
In fact, Shen Wujiu and the others didn't have any clues. After so many casualties, they tried everything and found some special features, but they didn't sum them up directly. For example, Shen Wujiu asked someone to tell Zhang The simple map around Lianshan City that Yan brought over had some inexplicable but obvious problems.
"Sir, please see, these red crosses are the locations where tragedies have occurred around Lianshan City. These tragedies can be tentatively or definitely attributed to the Spirit Clan.
"This is..." Zhang Yan quickly understood why Shen Wujiu showed him this map. Because this simple map only outlined some basic outlines of Lianshan City, but it was Therefore, those small red crosses are more highlighted. There are dozens of small crosses. At first glance, they seem to be scattered. However, if you look at the whole picture, you can see that these small red crosses are actually several lines. The paths are distributed in a scattering pattern, which can even be called "neatly distributed".
However, these scattering lines do not intersect, and the center point of the scattering is not in Lianshan City, but a few of them cross the city.
This also seems to confirm why the people who died in the first place all died in Zhuangzi outside the city, and then gradually began to spread to the inside of the city. Even "spread" is not appropriate, but the Zhuangzi outside the city was unlucky, and their paths were spread first, so they died first. The path within the city appears later so you die later. That's all.
Zhang Yan picked up the pen on the table next to him, and then marked out several scattered lines. There were six in total. And in the southwest direction, these six scattered lines obviously went to the same place. Signs of local gathering.
"Master Shen, you have already made it this far. You really don't know where the joints are, right?" Zhang Yan looked at Shen Wujiu curiously. He didn't believe that the other party even took out this kind of map. He didn't know what happened next. Expand.
Sure enough, Shen Wujiu smiled nonchalantly, with a look of shame on his face. He obviously knew what Zhang Yan was referring to.
"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, it's not that I don't know but I don't dare to. It was only in the past few days that I figured out the distribution of these cases. I have indeed thought about going to find out. This is also my presumptuous request. The main reason why Mr. Zhang came here was to ask him to help, so that he could feel confident.
But now there is some hesitation, because those dead demon species died on the way to the place where those paths converged, and were discovered by our scouts."
While talking, Shen Wujiu brought out another map. This time it was no longer a simple map of Lianshan City, but a detailed topographic map commonly used in the military. The clearly marked map of the entire Beijiang County.
"Sir, please see, this should be Lianshan City, and even related to the raging situation of the Spirit Tribe in the entire Beijiang County."
There are also many small red crosses marked on the new map, and the number is as many as hundreds. Most of them are messy. But the closer you get to Lianshan City, the more they appear to be inexplicably gathered together, and they will eventually converge around Lianshan City. There are several paths up there. And Lianshan City does not even involve all the paths. It’s just that there are no cities like Lianshan City that are stuck on the paths in other directions. Otherwise, the situation should be similar to Lianshan City.
The final focus is the final intersection after these paths converge.
"This place is the most suspected location at present. Those monsters just wanted to go to investigate, but they died on the road. This is where their bodies were found. In a forest of short trees, there were not many traces of fighting. There should be nothing. Anyone who resisted was killed."
Shen Wujiu's hand pointed repeatedly on the map. Finally, it stopped at a circle marked with woods outside the final intersection. That was the place where the monsters he said died in battle. Looking at the map, it was within the circle range from that intersection. It's less than fifty miles away.
"Could it be the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Path?" Zhang Yan used his knowledge of ghosts to find that the only path that could explain this obvious scattering was the Dead Silence Path that connected the holy realm.
"What the gentleman said is exactly what I think. But if that is the case, it will be really difficult. We have no way to block the Dead Silence Road. If we follow the example of the demon clan, it will probably cause even greater trouble. In fact, I don't know how to start." Shen Wujiu looked confused.
Unlike the Monster Clan, trying to block the Dead Silence Road with the power of Nanyuan Kingdom is simply wishful thinking. But Lianshan City is now in a very bad situation because it happens to be stuck on the Dead Silence Road.
"I don't know how long the Spirit Clan will be so noisy this time." Shen Wujiu sighed, and the implication seemed to be that he had given up hope. He was just looking forward to what the Spirit Clan would be like before they recovered, which was a bit self-deceiving. The helplessness and powerlessness of the Special Case Division and Nanyuan Kingdom are fully demonstrated.
"Dead silence said, I'm interested in finding out." Zhang Yan suddenly said with a smile.
