Lord of Puro

Chapter 513 Who Stole the Popularity?
Big Head returned home, lay in the bedroom and smoked a cigarette.

Smoke filled the room, obscuring the cell phone and satellite phone placed nearby. Datou unbuttoned his clothes and contacted He Jiaqing.

"I found the address of the medical practitioner Kang Zhenchang. He is in Yuezhou. I can go find him now."

He Jiaqing said: "Brother, you can't go. You have helped me too much. I can't let you take risks again. Give the address to Zhu Junlong, the general manager of Chashan Hotel, and let him do the rest.

He also has some things to give you. Take them to the new land of Huahu Park and put them in the cave where you usually practice. I will pick them up in two days."

Datou agreed, went downstairs to the flower shop, bought a bouquet of roses, and then drove to Chashan Hotel.

His wife was the lobby manager of the hotel. When she saw Datou, she quickly went over to him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Datou handed the roses to his wife: "After work, I couldn't sleep at home, and I thought about how I haven't given you flowers in all these years, and I suddenly felt that I owed you a lot..."

My wife's face was flushed, her eyes were even redder than her face, her lips were trembling slightly, but she couldn't speak for a long time.

How did this dullard suddenly learn to be romantic?

General Manager Zhu Junlong came to the hall, and his wife was so scared that she quickly hid the roses behind her.

Zhu Junlong stepped forward and greeted him: "Who is this?"

The wife quickly introduced: "This is my lover."

Zhu Junlong stepped forward to shake hands: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Are you here to see my wife?"

Big Head nodded and said, "She has been working for so long, and this is my first time coming here."

The two had met before, but they acted like it was their first meeting.

During the handshake, Kang Zhenchang's address passed from Datou's palm to Zhu Junlong's hand.

Zhu Junlong asked someone to bring two boxes of tea from his office: "Since you are here, I can't let you go back empty-handed. This is just a token of my appreciation, please don't despise it."

Datou refused for a while, but finally accepted it.

After leaving the hotel, Datou drove to Huahu Park. When he walked to the back of the western-style building, he saw the woman sobbing with her back to him.

This is not a living person, nor is it a dead soul. It is a mark, a mark left by He Jiaqing using special means.

Only Big Head could see this mark. When he saw the woman, he found the entrance to the new land.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Big Head took two steps forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Banfeng stood beside the western-style building, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

Li Banfeng has been following Datou since he left the Dark Star Bureau because his gloves smelled a special smell on Datou.

Now that Big Head has sunk into the ground, it is very likely that he has gone to a new place. Li Banfeng is hesitating whether to go with him to take a look.

It's daytime now, so everything else is fine, except the fact that he was lying on the ground plugging in a pencil, which was a bit eye-catching.

How did Big Head get in?
Li Banfeng just heard crying again, very clear crying, but he couldn't find the source of the crying.

The crying sound may be nearby, but due to some special means, people cannot accurately determine the location.

Li Banfeng activated his Golden Eyes to see the smallest details, and saw a blurry figure while taking a quick glance.

He used the technique more vigorously, and this time Li Banfeng saw clearly that there was a woman standing behind the western-style building. The woman had her back to Li Banfeng. She was wearing jeans and a white top. Her clothes were soaked and covered with a lot of mud.

She was sobbing, but Li Banfeng walked towards her without saying a word.

After taking just two steps, Li Banfeng felt his feet go weak and he fell into the lake.

What's happening?
Seeing this woman will reveal the entrance to the new land.

No wonder Luo Zhengnan said this was a mechanism to guard the gate.

This entrance is different from the route developed by Luo Zhengnan. According to the route developed by Luo Zhengnan, you have to use the electric pen again when you reach the bottom of the lake.

This route does not require the use of the electric pen again, and you can directly enter the new land.

Datou went ashore first and went to the cave where he often practiced.

This cave is usually closed. The cave door fits perfectly with the mountain, so most people cannot see the location of the cave entrance.

Big Head took out a key and found the keyhole behind a bunch of green vines. He inserted the key and turned it. A piece of rock slowly turned, revealing an entrance that was big enough for one person to pass through.

The cave is where Datou practices. The so-called practice is actually taking elixirs.

The cave contained some daily necessities and medicines to cure erysipelas.

Big Head always takes pills in this cave. After taking them, he uses these medicines to dissolve the poison in the pills so that no abnormality will be observed by the people from the Dark Star Bureau.

There was an area in the cave that was specifically used to store drinking water. There were more than a dozen buckets inside. Datou placed the tea box given to him by Zhu Junlong on top of the buckets. Afraid that He Jiaqing would not find it, he found a blanket and covered the tea box.

After everything was settled, Datou left the cave, closed the stone door, and returned to Huahu Park along the same route.

Li Banfeng did not go back. He used the skill of cutting off the path to clear a path and entered the cave.

The water bucket was covered with a blanket, which was a very obvious mark, and Li Banfeng quickly found the tea box.

After removing the packaging and opening the tea box, I saw everything inside.

There are magnets, antennas, headphones, nails, circuit boards of different sizes, and fox tails of various styles.

What are these things? Why are they hidden in the cave?
Li Banfeng frowned and looked at the two boxes of miscellaneous items with disdain, analyzing Datou's special hobby.

During the analysis process, he suddenly smelled something, a very special smell.

Popularity?

Li Banfeng picked up a magnet and turned on the Baiwei Linglong technique. He indeed smelled some scent of popularity in the magnet.

Big Head is collecting popularity?
What is he collecting popularity for?
Could it be that his cultivation has reached the cloud?

In the security team, there is a generally accepted saying that among all the team members, Big Head has the strongest fighting power.

Because he is on the cloud, he is the strongest team member?
This is a bit unreasonable. Why would a cultivator on the cloud want to be a member of the security team? Doesn't he have a better place to go?
Is this popularity?

You can't judge by smell alone, you have to try it carefully using cloud-based methods.

Li Banfeng placed the magnet on top of his head.

After a tremor, Li Banfeng took the magnet off his head.

This is popularity! Huge and very pure popularity!
You really can’t underestimate the big head!
The key is how does this magnet store popularity? Can Luo Zhengnan figure out this principle?
Other things look stranger than magnets. Of course, just because there is popularity in magnets doesn’t mean there is popularity in these things as well.

Take this circuit board for example, is there really anyone popular in this thing?
You still can’t judge simply by the smell, you have to try this too.

……

"And over there, we have to try that too!" Xiao Zhenggong pointed to a rock in the bushes and asked Daboyens to dig it up.

Daboynes frowned and said, "Do you think this is funny?"

Xiao Zhenggong smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you tired? I'm not tired yet! I usually hide things in these few places. Now that I've told you everything, shouldn't you help out?"

This is an unnamed mountain in the new land of Yaowanggou. On this mountain, Daboyens dug stones for two full days.

Daboyens used a corpse to resurrect Xiao Zhenggong, but after the resurrection, Xiao Zhenggong lost two months of key memories.

It is impossible to recover the memories of these two months, but Xiao Zhenggong has the habit of hiding things, and he has several fixed hiding places. This nameless mountain is one of them. There may be very crucial clues hidden here.

At the moment, Xiao Zhenggong has almost no cultivation, and his physique is only slightly better than that of normal people. If he fails to dig up anything valuable today, Daboyens will be very angry. If Daboyens wants to do something, Xiao Zhenggong will not be able to resist.

But today they were lucky. Daboyens dug out a sealed bag, which was rare in Provo. It was obviously brought back by Xiao Zhenggong from another state.

When he opened the bag, he found more than a dozen notebooks inside, each with a large number recorded on it. Daboyens looked at them for a long time but could not figure out the meaning of these numbers.

"What's the use of this thing?"

Xiao Zhenggong took the notebook and roughly flipped through it: "This thing is very useful, but I still need to think about how to use it specifically."

Daboyens threw away the shovel and grabbed Xiao Zhenggong by the collar: "Do you need me to help you think?"

Although he had lost his fighting power, Xiao Zhenggong was not afraid at all: "What, you want to kill me? Go ahead!"

Daboyens threw a spider web from his sleeve, hung it between two trees, and threw Xiao Zhenggong onto the web: "I didn't say I would kill you, but I can make your life worse than death."

Xiao Zhenggong laughed and said, "What good will it do you to make me live a life worse than death?"

Daboynes showed his fangs: "Let's try and see if it works!"

Xiao Zhenggong showed no fear: "I can admit my weakness in front of you, and then we can continue to scheme. In the end, no one will benefit. Why bother?"

Daboyans shook his head and said, "I don't intend to scheme against you. I have always been sincere in cooperating with you."

"What is sincerity?"

"I brought you back to life! I gave you a second life! That's sincerity!"

"Is this what you call sincerity?" Xiao Zhenggong laughed bitterly. "I used to have a cultivation level close to Yunshang, but now I am almost a white lamb. In front of you, I have to speak in a humble manner. Do you think you are really sincere to me?"

"I told you about your cultivation. There is still some residual cultivation in your blood, but it will take time to fully recover."

Xiao Zhenggong said, "I didn't say I want to recover directly to the cloud, but at least let me recover one or two layers, at least let me pick up a weapon and use it as a weapon. Don't wait until the day when you kill me and I don't even have a way to fight back. Do you think this makes sense?"

After thinking for a while, Daboyens let Xiao Zhenggong down from the spider web: "Tomorrow I will contact Neizhou and get you some medicine. In addition, I don't have much money on hand, and I need some capital turnover."

"That's easy. I have plenty of money, right here on this mountain. You take the money first, and I'll take the cultivation. Once the cultivation is in place, we can talk about serious matters. What do you think?"

Daboyens let Xiao Zhenggong down from the spider web, rested for a while, and continued digging.

……

Li Banfeng returned to the Dark Star Bureau and reported the results of the first phase of the investigation.

The main task of the first phase is to review the battle situation.

Zhong Er brought a map of the textile factory, which was densely marked with many marks.

"According to the parties' description, there were four groups of people who entered the Ruirong Textile Factory that night. They were the unknown people wearing gas masks, whom we will temporarily call the masked people, the unknown people wearing bamboo hats, whom we will call the bamboo hat people, and the known people including Director Li, and the known security team members.
The first to arrive at the textile factory were the masked men, who entered Workshop 6. Although Director Li had not been to Workshop 6 and had not seen the masked men,
Judging from the surveillance video at the scene, the masked man never appeared on any surveillance screen after entering Workshop 6, and the security team did not find any trace of the masked man during the subsequent search operation, which shows that the masked man may have entered an invisible space. "

As he was talking, Zhong Er drew a circle in workshop 6 and marked the word "anonymous".

Li Banfeng said: "The place where I fought with the man in the bamboo hat was not in the sixth workshop."

Zhong Er also made marks on the wall: "Here is where Director Li and Tang Yuan entered the wall, where Tang Yuan left the factory area, and where Director Li and the man in the bamboo hat fought. There should also be an invisible space here.
This invisible space is very special. Judging from Tang Yuan’s description of the scene, it is possible to find the real prototype of this invisible space.”

"What does the real thing mean?"

Zhong Er brought a photo and said, "This is a photo taken at the beginning of the last century. Ruirong Textile Factory had just been completed at that time. There was only one workshop. Director Li, take a look at the layout of the factory. Is it similar to the place where you fought?"

Li Banfeng looked at the photo and the scene of the fight with the "Centipede Workshop" emerged in his mind.

The layout of the yard and the location of the workshop are indeed somewhat similar, but we cannot confirm that it is the same location based on just one photo.

Zhong Er didn't say anything definitive: "I just made a rough guess. This is the only photo of the factory compound, and there are several photos of the workshop. Please see if there is any reference value."

After looking at the photos of the workshop, Li Banfeng was basically certain that this was the centipede workshop.

The location and layout of the main steam pipes, cylinders, pistons, and machine tools are exactly the same as what Li Banfeng had seen.

Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "It's here." Zhong Er took out a lot of information one after another: "After Ruirong Textile Factory went into production, it quickly became a banner of Yuezhou. The business situation continued to improve, and the factory area was also constantly expanding.
After the workshop was retired, it was not demolished. Instead, an exhibition hall was built on its foundation, which shows its status in the history of Yuezhou industry.

Later, the exhibition hall was demolished and the equipment was sent to iron smelting. Since then, Ruirong Textile Factory has encountered many problems.
The early records of the situation were not detailed, and many contents were glossed over. In the 1980s, similar incidents were widely reported in newspapers and magazines.

Zhong Er cut and pasted the relevant reports into a book. Li Banfeng roughly looked through it and found that the titles of the reports were very eye-catching.

There were constant cries in the textile factory late at night, and resentment lingered in the abandoned old workshop.

Two employees got lost in the factory. What happened to them?
A phantom suddenly appeared in the factory area, and the security guard was frightened all night.

……

Looking at these news and thinking about the days when he used to scroll through his mobile phone, Li Banfeng felt deeply moved. It seems that the skill of coming up with titles has never been lost.

"Is this information reliable?"

"Most of them are unreliable, but some of the news can be found to have some basis, such as this one, where a textile factory worker saw a 100-meter-long monster in the factory late at night.
Judging from the data, the length of 100 meters is obviously exaggerated, but combined with other news, there were a total of six news reports of encountering monsters at night in Ruirong Textile Factory. Some witnesses claimed to have seen snakes, and some witnesses claimed to have seen giant insects. The descriptions were slightly different, but overall, they were all long-bodied monsters. "

Li Banfeng looked at the date of the news. If the monster they described was the "centipede workshop", it proved that people from inner states had a long history of coming to other states.

Zhong Er took out another document: "Twenty-two years ago, Ruirong Textile Factory was officially closed. Two years later, the first case with detailed records appeared."

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Li Banfeng looked at the information and found out that a giant spider appeared in a textile factory 20 years ago, resulting in three deaths and eleven injuries.

"From then on, various cases at Ruirong Textile Factory never ceased. News of some cases spread like wildfire, and even made the textile factory the focus of folk legends."

"This is hard to understand," Li Banfeng looked at the information and shook his head slightly, "Why hasn't this textile factory been demolished?"

Zhong Er was unable to find the answer: "This matter has troubled me for a long time. At present, there are only two reasonable explanations. One is that Ruirong Textile Factory has a high research value. The other is that Ruirong Textile Factory may hide a powerful source of dark energy. Once it is demolished, the current technology cannot effectively control the dark energy.
Since the establishment of the Dark Star Bureau, within the scope of the files I have been able to investigate, there have been a total of 35 cases at Ruirong Textile Factory, including 23 disappearances, none of which have been solved so far, and another 12 cases involving alien creatures.
In cases involving alien creatures, the Sixth Workshop and the walled area where Director Li enters the factory are high-incidence areas. In cases of disappearances, the personal belongings of the missing persons have been found in these two areas many times.

Based on the available data, it is speculated that both the sixth workshop and the walled area have entrances to the invisible space. Whether the two are the same space remains to be verified.

In this case, neither Director Li nor Tang Yuan encountered the masked man in the invisible space. A relatively reasonable inference is that there are two invisible spaces in Workshop 6, and Workshop 6 and the wall correspond to the entrances of the two spaces respectively. "

Li Banfeng looked at the piles of information and didn't speak for a long time.

He just asked Zhong Er to review the battle of that day, but he didn't expect Zhong Er to sort out the entire history of the textile factory so clearly.

Zhong Er is an excellent security team member and the best one Li Banfeng has ever met.

But this also reveals a problem, that is, this information was collected bit by bit by Zhong Er.

"The Ruirong Textile Factory is so special, doesn't the Dark Star Bureau have a special file on it?"

Zhong Er shook his head: "I have investigated the textile factory before, and the bureau does not have a dedicated file. It may also be that I do not have enough access rights."

The Public Security Team is the front-line agency of the Dark Star Bureau. If such an important file is not shown to the front-line members, who else can it be shown to?
Is there really none?

The Dark Star Bureau's operations made Li Banfeng increasingly puzzled.

……

In a private house in the soda kiln, Xiao Zhenggong was studying the notes dug out from the mountains.

These are the notes he left behind. There are seventeen books in total, and only one is useful. Xiao Zhenggong knows which one is useful, and he knows his own habits.

But this could not be seen by Daboynes.

Daboynes resurrected him and kept him alive today because he still had value that could be utilized.

His value lies in these notes, which record the secrets he has discovered in the Dark Star Bureau and the secrets about the boundary.

At dusk, Daboynes returned to the house and sat on the bed, gasping for breath.

Xiao Zhenggong put down the notes in his hand and asked with concern: "What's the situation?"

Daboynes glanced at the cover of the notebook and shook his head. "Not very good."

“You didn’t find anyone from Nevada?”

"I found him, but something doesn't seem right with him."

"Has anything changed?"

“I can’t explain it. I know there is an entrance to Nevada here. I’ve been there once, but I’ve never seen a man from Nevada guarding the gate before. I saw him today, and his condition was very different from what I imagined.”

Xiao Zhenggong said: "I have seen many people from Neizhou. What do you think he looks like?"

"A skeleton. A skeleton of a fish."

"I have never seen a Neizhou person who is just a skeleton, but Neizhou people look all kinds of people. If you trust me, why not take me to meet him? I have a lot of contact with Neizhou, so maybe I can talk to them."

Daboynes shook his head and said, "I advise you not to go see him."

Xiao Zhenggong sneered: "To this day, we are still suspicious of each other. If we keep on suspecting each other, we will never be able to accomplish anything in the future!
If the Neizhou people don't give you medicine, you can't help me get my cultivation back. If I can't get my cultivation back, don't expect me to remember those things."

"This has nothing to do with suspicion. I don't let you go because it's for your own good." Daboyens undressed. There were more than a dozen wounds on his body. In some of the wounds, you could see the bones, and in some of the wounds, you could see the internal organs.

Daboyens took out the wound medicine and said as he applied it, "It was all caused by the bite of the fish skeleton. Fortunately, I left a spider silk on the shore in advance, so I was able to save my life."

Xiao Zhenggong was surprised and asked, "Why did he bite you?"

Daboyans shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us and Nevada."

……

Late at night, Li Banfeng stayed in the office.

The gloves remembered something: "Boss, I know where I smelled that smell. Actually, it wasn't me who smelled it, it should be the black gloves who smelled it. He has been to that place, on the twelfth floor."

The twelfth floor is the data room, and Datou must have found important information in the data room.

What good stuff did he find?

Li Banfeng was planning to go to the twelfth floor, but the gloves stopped him: "Boss, that little room that can go up and down by itself is called an elevator, right?"

"Yes."

"There's no point sitting on that thing. You have to walk up the stairs to find the place."

Walking up the stairs is different from walking up the elevator.

There is an unnameable space.

Li Banfeng was about to walk up the stairs. He took out a projector and first let him build a relationship with the camera near the stairwell.

A few minutes later, the projector responded: "Director Seven, please go back to your office first."

Back in the office, the projector said, "The camera in the stairwell is a little special. They are a little suspicious. They don't want to be my friends for the time being."

Li Banfeng found it difficult to understand how the projector made friends: "How do you communicate with them? Are they considered spiritual beings?"

"Seventh Guide, it's not just spirits that have life. According to my understanding, everything in the world has life. They need recognition, respect, sincere care and practical help."

This time, Li Banfeng understood what the projector meant: "It means to exchange sincerity for sincerity!"

"That's right, and that's why I follow the Seventh Master with all my loyalty and wisdom."

Gloves spat nearby: "Sell it when you get the chance!"

The projector continued, "The cameras in your residence are relatively new. It's easy to impress them by talking to them and cleaning the dust off their lenses.
But the cameras in the stairwell are weathered and cunning, and their requests are more practical. They asked me for skin care products. "

"What skin care products?"

"Grease, special grease for maintaining the lens. I gave some grease to the camera at the staircase. He liked it very much. Now he has become my friend.
But he told me that there were many cameras in the staircase, and they also liked this kind of grease. I calculated our inventory and it was a drop in the bucket, and it was simply not enough to meet their needs. "

Li Banfeng knew the grease mentioned in the projector. This grease was bought from Ling Miaosheng's record store. Can similar things be bought in other states?

It's difficult. All these good things of Ling Miaosheng have very special sources.

Ask Ma Wu to send some over from the record store?
It is possible to send things from Promontory to other states, but the efficiency is very low. After Ma Wu sends the things out, it will probably take a month for Li Banfeng to receive them.

And it will have to go through a lot of inspections. By then, the Dark Star Bureau will definitely know that Li Banfeng received the oil from Pro State, and may even be able to guess Li Banfeng's intentions.

Let Luo Zhengnan make a trip?
Luo Zhengnan had enough things to do, so Li Banfeng decided to go there on his own.

That night, he went to Huahu Park, walked behind the western-style building, and activated his Golden Eyes and Detailed Insights technique.

After seeing the sobbing woman, Li Banfeng fell into the lake. After swimming out of the lake, Li Banfeng did not rush to Tiemenbao. He looked into the distance.

He wanted to go and take a look at Big Head's secret cave. He gained a lot of popularity there last time, and maybe he would find some good stuff there this time.

……

Creaky, creaky~ The door of the cave opened.

He Jiaqing entered the cave, turned the mechanism, and the cave door closed again.

He walked deeper into the cave and soon found the tea box that Big Head had placed on the bucket.

The packaging on the box was torn, and He Jiaqing had a bad feeling.

I opened the box and counted the items. Two magnets were missing, two circuit boards were missing, the earphones, antenna, and nails were all missing. Only the fox tail was still there.

Who moved anything here?

He Jiaqing placed the magnet on his head, and there was nothing inside, no vitality.

I tried one piece, then another, but it was still empty.

I tried the antenna, then the nail, but it was also empty!

Ever since He Jiaqing went to Prostate, these things have been helping him steal popularity in other states, and the popularity he has collected is quite considerable!
Who stole it?
Who?
This is my popularity! It's all mine!
Who stole it?

He Jiaqing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the cave.

He stood up quietly and looked towards the cave entrance.

At the entrance of the cave, Li Banfeng stopped.

There is some dust on the ground, which should have fallen down when the stone gate moved.

The dust was clear, indicating that the stone door had just been opened.

A chill came over him, and Li Banfeng sensed a surge of malice.

He Jiaqing suddenly rushed to the entrance of the cave and was about to open the stone door when he suddenly felt a sharp pain under his feet.

His right foot up to the knee was peeled off, revealing the flesh.

There was something under my feet, a halo of light.

Where does this halo come from?
Boundary?

How can there be a boundary here?

Did the other party use the technique of closing doors and windows?

Who is outside the cave?

Could it be the local god?
