In 1957, the "Jade Pendant of Pisces" was unearthed in Lop Nur, which indirectly gave birth to the establishment of the "Investigation Bureau of Unknown Incidents in China." Seven years later, China's first atomic bomb test was successful.
In 1980, a well-known scientist unfortunately disappeared in Lop Nur. Three years later, the Bureau of Investigation of Unknown Incidents, which had been forced to close down, reopened.
In 1984, the theory of " human body science " was put forward, setting off a large-scale " Qigong " trend among the people. During this period, many unofficial organizations that studied " special abilities " were born.
One month in 2007, a grave robber was successfully captured in Xinjiang, but what was puzzling was that the grave robber had lost his mind and seemed to have been greatly stimulated.
Through special intelligence, the 25th team of the North Squadron of the Black Police in Xinjiang knew about the incident. Captain Zhang personally went to the hospital where the fugitive was located to investigate.
Due to his special identity, the mystic police could always take out all kinds of documents to deal with some small troubles. When the local police officer saw the black paper covered with red circles, he smiled and brought Old Zhang to the bed of the fugitive.
"I caught him in a farmer's yard yesterday. He was already crazy at that time and was talking nonsense. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to catch him. He suddenly fainted this morning, but the examination couldn't find any reason. Before Old Zhang could speak, the person in charge took the initiative to report, still smiling.
Old Zhang nodded politely and asked,""Other than that, is there anything else?”
"I don't have that." The person-in-charge tried his best to appear very concerned." I brought people to interrogate him overnight, but you saw his condition. We couldn't get anything out of him."
"Alright, leave this to me. You do your thing first. I'll look for you if there's anything.”
Hearing this, the person-in-charge let out a long sigh of relief. He said," If there's anything, arrange it at any time. I'll do my best to assist." Then, he walked out of the ward as if he was relieved of his heavy responsibility.
Looking at the relics found on the grave robber and his condition, Old Zhang decided that this incident was not something he could solve because it was very similar to a case he had heard before. Therefore, Old Zhang took some blood from the grave robber and immediately reported it to the headquarters.
On the third night, the higher-ups sent the Third Special Case Team to Xinjiang. The team members knew very well that this was perhaps the most difficult case that Team Three had encountered since its establishment. Because through the blood test of the fugitive, it might be related to the first unsolved case in the history of the investigation bureau.
After a simple handover with Squad 25, the team leader, Chen Zilin, led the six team members to carry out their work. Old Zhang left after arranging the venue. This was an unwritten rule of the mystic police: Once the special case team intervened, the local team would withdraw. Even if they needed to cooperate, the special case team would report it to the higher-ups and then arrange for it.
In front of the grave robber's bed, Chen Zilin frowned. An indescribable feeling flashed across his heart. Ye Ying asked with concern,""Is there something wrong?"
Chen Zilin looked at Ye Ying and shook his head. He said softly,"" Inject No. 3 Potion."
Ye Ying smiled bitterly. She raised her hand and gently brushed her bangs as she started to prepare. She knew that no matter how much pressure he was under, this team leader would never let anyone share his burden. Other than communicating with her at work, he would never look at her in the eye in life. Perhaps one day, when she was no longer around, it would be a relief for him.
After injecting the No. 3 potion, the grave robber began to show obvious reactions. First, his skin turned red, and then his body temperature rose sharply. When the grave robber's body temperature reached nearly 100 degrees, his skin began to harden and expand, and even grew black hair.
Although they had seen many strange things, the team members still widened their eyes and could not hide the surprise in their hearts. Some even screamed.
Of course, they weren't surprised because they were inexperienced, but because they already understood that this was indeed similar to the investigation bureau's number one mystery. Even members of the special case team like them could not help but panic.
Chen Zilin quickly took out Potion No. 4 that he had prepared when he saw that the grave robbers were becoming more and more violent. After the grave robbers stopped mutating, Chen Zilin let out a long sigh and said to the people around him,""You guys go out for a while."
Chen Zilin immediately reported the situation to the headquarters and ordered Old Zhang to send the grave robbers to the headquarters. Then, she stood by the window alone and smoked one cigarette after another.
Two days and two nights had passed by the time the headquarters issued the order. Chen Zilin gathered all his team members and was as serious as ever. After a meeting, he told everyone to start preparing."We will depart at one o'clock sharp at noon. The location will be Lop Nur.”
The team members were all surprised. It was no wonder. After all, there were nine places in China that everyone wanted to go to but did not want to get involved in. Lop Nur was the first place.
Ever since the establishment of the Investigation Bureau, more than a hundred mystic police officers had died there. Most of them had gone missing, and only a small number of their bodies had been found. Although they knew that their deaths were not simple, even the most advanced technology at the moment could not detect the cause of death.
Since the disappearance of a well-known scientist in the early 1980s, due to the great impact, there were more and more rumors among the people. The higher-ups deliberately began to block all events related to Lop Nur. Other than the relevant personnel, even the members of the special case team didn't know much.
However, things were unpredictable. Not long after the investigation began, one of the biggest mysteries in the history of the mystic police in the past twenty years happened. All the members of Special Case Team 3 lost contact on the third day after entering Lop Nur.
It was not until more than two months later that a hiker found the unconscious team leader of Special Case Team Three, Chen Zilin, at the edge of the Talimu Basin. After a full body examination, it was found that he had suffered multiple external injuries and was in a severe coma due to exhaustion and dehydration.
Of course, this was only an external report. The specific situation was far from that simple. Through the miniature camera found on Chen Zilin, the headquarters roughly understood the last experience of Special Case Team 3:
Under the starry sky, Chen Zilin supported a heavily injured Dark Policeman as he ran across the desert with the other three. When she felt that she was far away from danger, she gently put him down and said with concern,"Don't worry, Little Zhou. It's fine now. We'll walk out."
The mystic police officer called Little Zhou shook his head with a bitter smile."Leader, I know my own situation. It's useless. But it's good. I won't be a burden to you if I die. Hehe, cough…" Cough cough." Before he could finish his sentence, Little Zhou coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, which sprayed all over Chen Zilin's face.
" Little Zhou, Little Zhou!" The team members shouted together, but Little Zhou was no longer breathing. His expression had become distorted due to excessive pain, and his eyes were wide open. It was obvious that he was unwilling to give up.
Before Chen Zilin could close Little Zhou's eyes, the other mystic police officer beside him suddenly screamed. His body began to rot and melt, and he soon disappeared from everyone's sight. His shrill scream still echoed in the night sky.
After all, they were Mystical Police officers who had undergone special training. Seeing their comrade die so tragically, the remaining three people did not panic. They immediately took a few steps back and surrounded the place where the Mystical Police was attacked in a triangular formation.
A strange head nearly a foot in diameter suddenly emerged from the ground. This head was indescribably strange. On one end of the head that looked like an earthworm, there was a bloody mouth full of fangs. There were three round eyes around the head that emitted a faint red light.
"Don't look into its eyes."
As he spoke, Chen Zilin took out the pistol at his waist and fired at the monster head. After taking a few bullets, the monster head suddenly shrank back into the ground and disappeared.
"Is it the Worm of Death?" Ye Ying asked with uncertainty.
Chen Zilin nodded and said solemnly,""It should be. A hellworm that only exists in the desert of Mongolia. I didn't expect to encounter it here."
"The situation here is far beyond our imagination. We need to leave this place as soon as possible and contact headquarters as soon as possible.”
For the first time, Chen Zilin felt uncertain. Even though he had experienced so many dangerous missions, he had never felt so uneasy.
"What about the two of them? What about Little Zhou? What caused this? This is all too sudden."
Ye Ying thought of the two colleagues who were killed first, and for the first time, she felt a strong sense of unease. As a mystic police officer, he was already used to the unknown, but he had never seen anything like what happened in Lop Nur.
"The situation here is far more serious than I imagined.”
In fact, from the moment he saw the grave robber, Chen Zilin felt that something was not right. He also felt that this mission was extremely dangerous. Although he had made preparations in all aspects, what he could not accept was: Out of the seven of them, four of them had been lost all of a sudden. It was still unknown whether the rest could escape.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a problem. According to the news from the headquarters, the conclusion from the blood test of the grave robber was: He was unable to completely mutate and had already died on the way to the headquarters.
Could this be a trap? Someone was deliberately using everything here to kill them? However, although the disappearance of the Special Case Investigation Unit was a big loss for the Investigation Bureau, it would not affect the overall situation of the Investigation Bureau. Could it be that someone was using them to find that thing? However, this was also the first time they knew about the existence and use of this thing. Before this, even the investigation bureau had no idea.
But whether it was a trap or not, at least they had solved a secret. The most important thing now was to bring the secret out alive so that they could deal with more important tasks in the future.
"What should we do next?" Ye Ying's words interrupted Chen Zilin's thoughts.
The more dangerous the situation was, the more Chen Zilin, as the team leader, could not afford to lose his composure. Hence, he decisively gave an order,""Leave this place immediately and try to get in touch with the bureau.”
It was still possible to leave this place, but after they went deep into Lop Nur, all their communication devices failed. It was as if they had entered an independent space. This was different from the situation encountered by those who had entered Lop Nur in the past.
Just as the three of them were at their wits 'end, a strong wind suddenly blew in the desert. Chen Zilin was stunned for a moment and shouted," Not good!"”He immediately threw Ye Ying to the ground.
The other mystic police officer was not so lucky. He was accidentally blown by the wind, and his body was instantly set ablaze. Before he could scream, he had already turned into ashes.
"Is it the Evil Ghost Hot Wind?" Ye Ying asked in surprise.
"Maybe." Chen Zilin could not be sure. After all, it was only a strange wind that existed in some ancient documents. It was first seen in the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. It said," There is an evil wind in Lop Nur. Regardless of whether it is human or animal, whoever encounters it will die."”
"Ever since we found the thing, we have been attacked one after another. Is it natural that we are afraid? Or was it deliberately arranged by someone?" In fact, Ye Ying had long felt that something was wrong.
Everything they encountered was very different from what they knew in the files. Perhaps it was because there were too many mysteries in Lop Nur that had not been discovered. After all, only a small part of it was recorded in the files.
Most of the people who entered this place were like them. After they died, they couldn't even find their bodies. Those who survived didn't encounter anything strange. It was normal for the files to be incomplete. This deepened the mystery of Lop Nur.
"Now that there are only the two of us left, the only thing we need to do now is to bring the thing out alive. Don't think too much about it. It will be fine."
Ye Ying smiled bitterly and said helplessly,""You're always like this. Even when you care about people, you use a commanding tone. You know better than me what the chances of us getting out are.”
" Stop talking. Let's go." Chen Zilin's expression did not change at all. It was still as serious as ever.
"Why not? I know you must think that I'm being ridiculous now, but I know that if I don't make things clear now, there won't be another chance in the future. Do you only have missions in your life? If only we hadn't joined the investigation bureau back then, we wouldn't have met Xuelan and that incident wouldn't have happened."
"Don't say anymore. That incident affected many people. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't have hidden your participation. Let's not talk about the past anymore. Even if we didn't enter the investigation bureau and didn't meet Xuelan, our matters are already in the past, do you understand?”
"I don't believe you. You just feel guilty towards Xuelan and think that her disappearance is your fault. You don't believe that she's dead. The one who didn't face reality is you. Why can't you walk out of it? Why can't we start over?”
Ye Ying was already sobbing. She hugged her knees and squatted on the ground, burying her head in her tears.
Chen Zilin felt a little sad as he recalled the past. He should not have brought the guilt he felt for Xue Lan onto Ye Ying and treated her with indifference time and time again. Everyone had self-esteem. Even if she didn't care on the surface, Ye Ying must be in pain on the inside. She couldn't help but soften her tone."Don't be willful. You're a mystic police officer. Don't talk about these things during the mission.”
Ye Ying raised her head and smiled bitterly.""Hehe, a mission? Since you've already said so, what else can I say? My team leader."
Perhaps he realized that his words were inappropriate, so Chen Zilin helped Ye Ying up and said softly,""Let's just treat the past as a memory.”
Ye Ying shook off Chen Zilin's hand and suddenly slapped him.""If I only exist in your memories, I would rather never appear in your life. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Regardless of whether we can get out or not, from now on, you and I only have a superior and subordinate relationship."
Chen Zilin did not dodge. He looked at Ye Ying's resentful eyes and lowered his head. He did not say anything and just walked in front of them silently.
The two of them walked briskly, searching for directions while paying attention to danger. Fortunately, they did not encounter anything strange.
When it was almost dawn, Chen Zilin heaved a sigh of relief. Although the sun was scorching during the day and was harmful to the body, it was relatively less dangerous at night.
"It's not good to travel during the day. We don't have any water. Let's find a place to rest first.”
Ye Ying did not say anything. She listened to Chen Zilin's arrangements expressionlessly. Just as she was about to pat her legs to soothe her shin, her body suddenly fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Ah, Zilin, run!"
Chen Zilin wanted to run over, but he suddenly felt powerless and collapsed. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but he could not make a sound. He only felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body, and his vision began to blur. The last thing he saw were three figures and a sneer.
The recording ended here, but it was not complete. As for what happened when they arrived at their destination? How did Chen Zilin get to the edge of the Talimu Basin? Why was part of the video still there? Who were those people? The conversation between Chen Zilin and Ye Ying in the end had attracted the attention of the higher-ups.
On the one hand, six members of Team Three were killed and one was injured. Whether it was the manpower and material resources invested in the early stages of training, or the development of future work, these were the biggest losses of personnel since the reconstruction of the Investigation Bureau.
On the other hand, this incident also lost some important secrets. In short, even the government was shocked. The highest-ranking person in charge did not hesitate to send elites from all over the country to cooperate with Special Case Team 1 and Team 2 to set up a special task force to investigate. The scale of the investigation was almost comparable to the "Pisces Jade Pendant Incident".
However, the strange thing was that the task force had entered Lop Nur twice, but they had never encountered anything strange.
The following year, a major natural disaster occurred in our country. During this period, many unknown events occurred, and the task force had to be disbanded to deal with the current problems.
As the disaster gradually subsided, our country welcomed another international event. The Investigation Bureau, like all other state agencies, was on high alert to deal with unexpected events. As a result, this incident began to be covered in dust among many doubts, and all relevant information was completely blocked by the higher-ups.
Chen Zilin was still unconscious. The investigation bureau had used all the confidential equipment they had to study his body. However, other than the last recording of his experience in Lop Nur, there was still no clue.
That night, a high-ranking official stood by his bedside alone and muttered to himself,""Sigh, you already knew that things weren't that simple, but you still had to go. Although you didn't succeed this time, at least you brought back something important. You guys have done your best. I just hope that nothing will happen to you again.”After saying that, he sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Chen Zilin was able to keep his life. With the gradual advancement of technology, coupled with his own resistance and extremely firm willpower, Chen Zilin finally woke up. However, it had been five years since the incident.
