Fu Xinlai looked around in confusion and sniffed the sandalwood scent in the temple.
It was often said that fragrance could refresh the mind.
He couldn't help but wonder if it was because he smelled sandalwood that he had this illusion.
"The problem with the fragrance?" When his friends heard this, they did the same thing as Fu Xinlai.
The three of them were bewildered.
After looking around, they all had the same thought in their minds.
This was definitely not a problem with the sandalwood in the temple.
"It smells good, but it's not fragrant.”A friend spoke up and expressed his thoughts.
Since it wasn't the fragrance, what was it?
Fu Xinlai was puzzled.
He didn't refute his friend's words, but he also realized that it wasn't the fragrance.
"This feeling is very sudden. It was very sudden when we entered the temple.”
He muttered.
As he spoke, he was stunned.
Entering the temple…walking in, and then having this kind of feeling after just two steps…No way…
Fu Xinlai had an unbelievable thought in his mind, and he said it out loud," Is this Lord Shing Wong helping us to refresh our minds?"”
“……”
“……”
Hearing this, the two friends widened their eyes.
"It can't be that mysterious, right?" The corners of his friend's mouth twitched. Although their profession had something to do with the gods and Buddhas, this did not mean that they believed in them.
"Then how do you explain it?"
Fu Xinlai raised his eyebrows and asked. This made his friends speechless. They could not think of a scientific explanation at the moment.
Looking at his friends 'expressions, Fu Xinlai couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
He looked at the temple.
He had an idea in his mind. For this thesis, he wanted to talk about what happened today and focus on this City God Temple.
Fu Xinlai and the other two had the same thought.
"Speaking of which, I felt very tired after I went to bed last night. This was because I took the night flight, but I actually felt this way from Flower Springs City.”
"Hua Quan City? After we climbed the mountain near Huaquan City, I had the same feeling. I thought it was because I hadn't exercised for too long.”
"Sigh, stop. Why are you guys getting more and more ridiculous? Why are you even talking about Hua Quan City?”
"Hmm? Don't you feel that way? Then I might be imagining things."
"…Um."
"Do you have such a feeling?"
"A little."
The three of them talked to each other, and their expressions became more and more strange. In the end, they talked about a lot of things.
They talked about more and more topics, such as the efficacy of the City God Temple, the problems in the mountainous areas of Huaquan City, the road blockade they saw when they came back to take the bus, and all kinds of random doubts.
An Shiyuan looked at the three people who were walking over.
He pondered in his heart.
The conversation between the three of them was based on speculation and could not produce any substantial evidence. Others might not have felt anything when they heard it, but he paid attention.
…Hua Quan City? Where did the thick ghostly qi come from?
An Yuanyuan muttered," Hua Quan City, I remember it's in…"
He recalled the modern map of the Dragon Country, the few regions and cities near Cang City.
Cang City was very far from Hua Quan City. They had to go to Nanming City and then pass two more cities before they could reach Hua Quan City. They were separated by three cities. That was an inland area, and the development level of the city was not as good as Cang City, Xixi City, and other cities.
Thinking about this…
An Shiyuan thought of something.
The ghostly aura on the three of them was obviously unintentional, and it was not left behind by a malicious ghost. It was more like they had plunged into a ghost pile, or…a place of Yin Qi!
"Yin Qi Land?"
An Yanyuan knew a little about the Land of Yin Qi.
It was a place where Yin Qi was very abundant. The birth of the Yin Qi land also followed the appearance of the malicious ghosts.
To put it simply, the Land of Yin Qi was: It was a paradise that was often mentioned in fantasy novels. For ghost controllers and malicious ghosts, the Yin Qi Land was a heavenly paradise that was helpful for cultivation.
The Land of Yin Qi was very attractive to the malicious ghosts. The aura that erupted from his Shing Wong's Underworld had been treated as a Land of Yin Qi by the malicious ghosts. Look at how many malicious ghosts had been attracted in just one day. There were already four Class A's. How many malicious ghosts would be attracted over time? It was unimaginable.
There were three places of Yin Qi in the Dragon Country.
Every Yin Qi land was guarded by at least three peak A-class ghost controllers. There were quite a number of ghost controllers, as well as more than 1,000 soldiers, equipped with the best firearms to deal with malicious ghosts.
No country in the world allowed the Land of Yin Qi to be occupied by ghosts. Eighty years ago, a Land of Yin Qi in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom was occupied by ghosts, and the destructive power caused shook the entire world. Tens of thousands of people died. If it weren't for the earthquake at that time, it really wouldn't have been hidden.
Whether or not the mountainous area of Hua Quan City was a place of Yin Qi, An Yangyuan was not sure. This was because it could also be a place where ghosts gathered. When there were too many ghosts, there would be similar phenomena.
……
Cang City Airport.
Pang Xiang and the other ghost controllers were gathered.
They were told that they were going to Flower Springs City, to a mountainous village where many ghost controllers had gone on a mission but lost contact.
At present, five ghost controllers had lost contact with each other, which attracted the attention of the Ghost Controller Bureau of Hua Quan City.
A few days ago.
There were already some special signs in Hua Quan City.
There were many malicious ghost incidents, resulting in a lack of manpower.
As the number of malicious ghosts in Cang City decreased, the support work fell on the Ghost Control Bureau of Cang City. Many people went over, and Lin Zhengfa was the leader. Because of this, Lin Zhengfa did not get to see Zhong Chengyi for the last time. After that, due to the workload, he could not attend Zhong Chengyi's funeral.
Just last night, the mountain village where the five ghost controllers went missing was suspected to be a land of Yin Qi. This discovery shocked the headquarters of the Ghost Control Bureau, and a group of people were immediately transferred over from Cang City.
Pang Xiang and the others belonged to the third group.
"Is there any news?" Pang Xiang rushed to the airport and asked his companions when he saw them.
"No, we don't know yet because the place of Yin Qi that appeared this time is very special. It seems to be a place of fake Yin Qi.”
One of them said.
There were many places with dense Yin Qi, but this did not mean that it was a land of Yin Qi. It could also be a temporary illusion. This kind of situation was called a land of false Yin Qi.
"You found it last night, but there's still no result?”
Pang Xiang was surprised.
He had heard some rough information on his way here.
"You should know about the disappearance of the five ghost controllers, right? Among the five ghost controllers, the first one to disappear was a B-class ghost controller, and his death was unknown. It was very sudden that there was no connection at all. In addition to the characteristics of the Yin Qi land, the headquarters are making preparations and getting people to set up a blockade to surround that place.”His companion spoke again.
The Class B Ghost Controller suddenly died, and the locator could not find him. Later, someone went to look for him, but he was gone all of a sudden. This made the Ghost Controlling Bureau have to be careful.
Therefore, their plan was to send an A-class ghost controller, and two of them!
Originally, they only planned to go alone, but because of the appearance of the Land of Yin Qi, the Ghost Control Bureau changed their minds at the last minute.
" Class B?!"
Pang Xiang's expression changed.
The death of a B-class ghost controller, the location of the fake Yin Qi…Each piece of information was extremely important. No wonder the Ghost Controlling Bureau took it seriously.
"I heard that the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter and have asked the two A-rank team leaders to wear protective talismans.”At this moment, someone spoke up and shared a piece of news.
He looked at Pang Xiang as he spoke.
Because the Ghost Controlling Bureau had obtained the extra incense ash amulet, they returned the amulet that Pang Xiang had given them. However, Pang Xiang didn't take it, but gave it to the Ghost Controlling Bureau, saying that it was useless for him to hold it and that he should let the amulet play its greatest value.
"I heard that one of the team leaders took your talisman.”
"Hmm?"
Pang Xiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
At this moment, Wen Hong Wen walked over from afar.
"We're still short of Ah Er.”Someone said when they saw Wen Hong Wen arrive.
"Hongwen, did you go to Zhang Li's place?”
Pang Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew about Zhang Li. As Wen Hongwen's best friend, it would be strange if he didn't know about it.
"Yes, I'll tell them about Yan Liangpeng.”Wen Hongwen smiled.
"Are you interested in Zhang Li?" Pang Xiang whispered.
Wen Hongwen was stunned by Pang Xiang's sudden words." What did you say?”
Pang Xiang rolled his eyes at Wen Hongwen.
He shook his head.
"Hongwen, I know you better than you do. Haven't you realized that you have some feelings for Zhang Li? You've been in high spirits when you mentioned Zhang Li these past two days. You've been praising her non-stop. You've been running over there these past few days. You basically go over whenever there's nothing. This has already exceeded the scope of concern, right?”
Hearing this.
Wen Hongwen was stunned at first, then he fell silent.
After being mentioned by Pang Xiang, he couldn't help but recall his feelings for Zhang Li.
In his mind, he thought of Zhang Li. He suddenly realized that Pang Xiang was right. Zhang Li was a very good woman in his eyes. Although she was six or seven years younger than him, Zhang Li had a good personality. He liked this kind of Zhang Li very much. She was gentle and caring, especially her kind heart. This made him feel that Zhang Li had become a different person.
"Hey." Pang Xiang looked at Wen Hongwen's expression and sighed. He knew that he was right.
This best friend of his was a little inexperienced when it came to relationships.
She didn't even know that she had unknowingly fallen in love with Zhang Li and needed him to remind her.
"Pang Xiang, you're right. I seem to really like Zhang Li.”
Hearing Wen Hongwen's reply, Pang Xiang's expression turned serious." Hongwen, do you really like Zhang Li? Have you ever thought about her situation when she's six or seven years younger than you?”
Wen Hong Wen shook his head.
"Six or seven years old is nothing. I don't care about that.”He looked at Pang Xiang and said with a smile," As for Zhang Li having a child, I don't think it's a big deal. Tiantian is so cute. My God, I'm very happy to have such a daughter. I'm an orphan and don't have parents to raise. I don't have money to spend. The problems you mentioned are not a big deal to me.”
"You can find someone better."
"Zhang Li is already very good. I don't think I can find a better woman than her.”
Hearing this, Pang Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was referring to the fact that he had a daughter who was not that old. However, Wen Hongwen was referring to his personality.
The next moment, Pang Xiang hooked his arm around Wen Hongwen's shoulder and laughed." Since you've thought it through, then I won't say anything more. I support your decision. I'll wait for your wedding!”
The others also looked over.
"Yo, our innocent Hongwen has a girlfriend?”
"What kind of woman is so lucky to be taken a fancy to by our Hong Wen?”
"Hahaha, when is Hongwen attending the wedding? I'll give you a big red packet.”
The ghost controllers all laughed.
Wen Hongwen's talent might not be outstanding among the elites, but he was definitely one of the elites in the entire Cang City Ghost Control Bureau. He was very popular. Hearing Pang Xiang's loud words, they couldn't help but speak. Everyone's words sounded like a joke, but in fact, they were all telling the truth. They really thought so.
Wen Hongwen's expression turned awkward.
"It's not even a sign yet, and I don't know if she'll like me.”
"There are women who don't like our Hongwen? Yo, is that a man who came back from the Elephant Country?”
" Men who have changed genders will also take a fancy to Hongwen. If I, Fangzheng, were a woman, I would marry Hongwen.”
Everyone laughed.
Just as they were talking, the last person arrived.
Pang Xiang and the others boarded the military helicopter and flew towards Hua Quan City.
……
In the mountainous area of Hua Quan City.
At this moment, after a night, the roads leading to the village were all blocked. No one was allowed to enter.
There were drones circling in the mountains, and there were also some ghost controllers in the forest. They were spread out in all directions, forming a circle around the Land of False Yin Qi.
Many military command tents had been set up on the roads in the mountainous area.
In the largest tent.
Lin Zhengfa stood inside.
A middle-aged man stood beside him.
This person was a top-notch A-class ghost controller like Lin Zhengfa. He came from Xixi City and was called Pei Zhan.
His name sounded majestic, but it was incompatible with his appearance. He had short hair and a sinister face. He looked like someone who was not easy to provoke and get along with.
" It's almost over. The ghost controllers from Cang City and other cities are almost all here. As for the safety of the city, there are also arrangements to ensure that any emergencies can be handled. Captain Zhou Xia and the other captains are in charge of the safety of the city. They can ensure that the malicious ghosts that sense the land of Yin Qi will not come.”
The deputy director of Hua Quan City said. He looked at Lin Zhengfa and Pei Zhan, as well as the three ghost controllers, Meng Lei, He Ren, and Yu Jingcheng.
"I'll have to trouble Captain Lin, Captain Pei, and Captain Meng Lei this time.”
He spoke again.
The three behind them were the ghost controllers of Hua Quan City. Meng Lei was a Class B, and the remaining two were Class C. All three of them were young men, and Meng Lei was already thirty years old.
These five people were the ghost controllers who were going to enter that area this time.
"In that case, let's go in and take a look. Pei Zhan, what do you think?”Lin Zhengfa looked at Pei Zhan.
Pei Zhan nodded." Alright."
His words were concise and comprehensive, making people feel that he was not easy to get along with.
Lin Zhengfa did not care about this situation. Those who were familiar with Pei Zhan knew that his personality was like this. He did not like to talk, but he was definitely a good person.
"The signal inside is blocked. Once the drone enters, it will lose the signal.”A researcher walked over with five badges in his hand." There's a strong signal interference inside. We've adjusted these badges, but we're not sure if they can be used normally.”
Pei Zhan took the badge." I'm fine."
Then, he gave the badge to Lin Zhengfa and the others, walked out of the tent, and walked towards the village.
"Be careful." The deputy director of Hua Quan City reminded him.
His expression was very solemn.
This time, when the Land of Yin Qi appeared, the bureau sent some people to evacuate the villagers. However, something strange happened. The two groups of people who went last night were all gone. No one came out.
By now, he could basically confirm that there was definitely something wrong with the village. It was very likely that there were malicious ghosts, and their levels were definitely not low. Otherwise, Captain Tong would not have died in the police station.
Lin Zhengfa and the other five nodded and walked in.
The five figures quickly headed towards that place. Lin Zhengfa's Ghost Domain enveloped everyone and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
A few seconds later, they entered the range.
Sizzle...
An ear-piercing electromagnetic noise came from the badge.
Lin Zhengfa and the others 'expressions changed." The signal has disappeared.”
"Even if the research team dealt with it, it was useless?”Meng Lei frowned. He looked at Lin Zhengfa and Pei Zhan, wanting to know their thoughts.
"Continue moving."
Pei Zhan spoke first and walked in.
Lin Zhengfa nodded in agreement. This time, he didn't use the Ghost Domain to hurry over. Instead, he chose to travel on foot.
After a while.
The five of them saw some houses.
The village entrance came into view. If one looked carefully, one could see someone sitting at the door washing clothes.
Seeing Lin Zhengfa and the others enter the village, the woman who was washing clothes looked up and looked at them curiously. Then, she felt the gazes of Lin Zhengfa and the others and smiled politely.
" The density of Yin Qi hasn't changed. I can confirm that this is a place of fake Yin Qi…"
He Ren said.
The deeper they went into the Land of Yin Qi, the heavier the Yin Qi became. In the central area, the Yin Qi was the heaviest. However, after walking for a while, they realized that the concentration of Yin Qi had maintained a calm level. This was not the situation in the Land of Yin Qi. It was obvious that it was the Land of Yin Qi.
Lin Zhengfa nodded. He had also noticed this. He looked at the woman who was washing clothes." She was contaminated by Yin Qi."”
"Continue to investigate and find out the secret of the missing people. We have to find the 'source' of all this as soon as possible and deal with it properly. Then, let the people here evacuate. Otherwise, after a period of time, hundreds of people in this village will die.”He frowned. If Yin Qi entered his body for a long time, he would die.
Then, he walked toward the woman.
"Madam, do you know where the police officer who came here last night went?”
"Police? Did the police come last night?" The woman looked at Lin Zhengfa in shock.
This sentence stunned Lin Zhengfa and the others.
The police who came to evacuate the village disappeared without entering the village?
Lin Zhengfa frowned and looked at Pei Zhan and the others.
"We walked all the way here, but I didn't find anything wrong.”Pei Zhan asked. He was also puzzled. There was nothing on the way, so how did the police disappear?
Meng Lei and the other two nodded, indicating that they were in the same situation as Pei Zhan.
Lin Zhengfa looked at the woman and smiled." I have another question. Have you seen these people?"”
The woman looked at the photos in Lin Zhengfa's hands.
"I haven't seen him before." She shook her head and looked at a tall and thin middle-aged man who came out of the house opposite." Fuming, come and see if these people have come to our village."”
"What's wrong?" The man called Fuming walked over from the opposite side and looked at the photo in Lin Zhengfa's hand.
"No, no one has come to the village for the past two days. I can't remember what you asked about earlier.”
"He disappeared without entering the village?”
Lin Zhengfa's expression changed.
Did all the people who lost contact disappear before entering the village?
"Oh, no, I've seen this person before. I remember that he came to our village three days ago in the morning.”Fuming pointed at a person in the photo.
The person he was talking about was the B-class ghost controller Zhou Luo who had disappeared at the beginning.
Hearing this, Lin Zhengfa was delighted.
This meant that there were clues. They wouldn't have all the clues." Then do you know where he went? Or did you do something?"
Fuming shook his head and pointed in the direction of the village." I saw him heading into the village alone.”
" Okay, thank you..." Lin Zhengfa thanked him for his answer.
Then, he swept his gaze across the surrounding houses.
Two of them had white banners hanging at the door. This was a decoration that only people who died in their homes would have.
"By the way, someone died over there. What's the reason?”Lin Zhengfa continued to ask questions.
"The old man is dead. The other one went to the mountains to cut wood and accidentally fell to his death.”
The woman answered with a smile.
Lin Zhengfa nodded…Did he die of natural causes?
He thought it was a 'bizarre' death. If that was the case, then he had to ask about the process and collect more evidence.
Immediately, Lin Zhengfa and the others walked towards the village, planning to ask those who had seen Zhou Luo about the situation.
The group of them left.
Fuming and the woman watched them leave.
As Lin Zhengfa and the others walked away, the two of them suddenly smiled. The corners of their mouths curled up in a strange arc. They had the same strange smile as they stood motionless.
This scene, Lin Zhengfa and the others, who were far away, did not notice.
Time slowly passed.
Lin Zhengfa and the other five frowned. They had asked more than a dozen people along the way, but none of them had seen Zhou Luo!
"Zhou Luo clearly entered the village. Why didn't anyone see him?”He Ren felt his scalp go numb.
How could a B-class ghost controller captain disappear without a trace in a village?？
"There's something wrong with this village. Be careful.”
Pei Zhan said.
Everyone nodded. They understood what he meant.
The village was able to make a Class B ghost controller disappear without a trace, which meant that there was a huge problem.
"I'll go to the other side and ask them about the situation. You guys can ask around. I don't believe that I can't find them.”Yu Jingcheng said.
Lin Zhengfa nodded. The five of them split up and asked the five people nearby. They either walked or knocked on other people's doors.
Not long after.
"Captain Lin, I asked if I've seen it.”
Meng Lei said. Beside him, He Ren walked over. He shook his head and didn't say anything, but his meaning was obvious.
" Me too…huh!?" After Lin Zhengfa finished speaking, he looked around." Where is Jing Cheng?”
He realized that Yu Jingcheng, who had been questioning him, had disappeared!
The others looked over and their expressions changed drastically.
Yu Jingcheng was clearly still there when they were questioning him. How could he have disappeared so suddenly? Even the person Yu Jingcheng was questioning had disappeared…
