Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 74 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
  On Haitang Street, in front of Xingfu Apartment, a dozen black commercial vehicles temporarily formed a metal wall to block the crowds who wanted to watch the excitement.

Residents continued to come out of the tube building with their families, boarded buses, and were transported to nearby hotels for shelter.

"Everyone retreats outside the white line. From now on, not even a fly can fly in."

Drones were hovering in the sky, and the police officers maintaining order were alert for fear of missing something.

"What happened inside?"

"It seems like there is an evil spirit haunting me."

"Then it won't clear the building, right?"

"Drip."

A dark car slowly pushed through the crowd, stopped outside the cordon, and turned off the engine.

The car door opened, and Chen Ji walked out with a cup of coffee, followed by four young people.

"The séance is here."

"Still an intermediate spiritual master."

When Chen Ji was about to set off a cordon, he was stopped by the investigator in charge of security work.

"Sorry, you can't go in now."

Seeing that the captain was blocked by an investigator, Wu Yong couldn't help but stepped forward: "Boy, didn't you see the badge? This is an intermediate spiritual master!"

Chen Ji showed his ID, but the other party didn't even look at it.

"Sorry, the order I received is that no one is allowed in. Not even seancers."

Wu Yong stepped forward again: "I'm sorry..."

Chen Ji noticed that the guard had put his hand on his pistol, so he immediately stopped Wu Yong and continued to ask politely:
  "Would you like to have a word with the manager? I'm also here to perform a mission. I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver if I come back empty-handed."

The security guard thought for a moment and pressed the intercom: "Is Secretary Zhou free now? There is a seancer coming outside, and he won't leave even if he says nothing."

Half a minute later, the answer came from the other end of the intercom: "Secretary Zhou is not available. He asked me to convey that if I encounter a spiritual master, just say it is President Wei's decision."

"You heard it too." The guard said expressionlessly, "This is President Wei's decision. This area is now under the full authority of the investigators. Please go back."

"Since it is President Wei's decision, we can only abide by it. Please continue to work hard, brothers, let's go."

People who eat melons are talking about this.

"Why did the seanceer leave just after he arrived?"

"Didn't you hear? This matter is under the full authority of the investigators."

"So the investigators are so powerful? If I had known, I would have signed up that day."

"just you?"

As soon as he got in the car, Wu Yong couldn't help but complain: "Brother Chen, are we just leaving like this?"

The other three people all agreed: "Yes, when will the investigator be able to ride on the neck of the seancer?"

Chen Ji chuckled: "I feel angry too, why don't we get out of the car and fight with them now?"

Hearing that a fight was about to happen, Wu Yong immediately stepped on the accelerator: "That's not necessary. Brother Chen, let's calm down and let's go and have a midnight snack."

Chen Ji stopped talking, but recalled a few new faces in charge of security at the scene. Judging from their calm and calm behavior, they don't look like newcomers who have just become investigators.

"It's most likely that Wei Zonglin brought the person back from Area 1." Chen Ji thought, "But since President Wei doesn't want the Seance to get involved in this matter, why did the superiors send us a task to investigate on site?"

Chen Ji felt faintly uneasy.

……

In the Tongzi Tower, Su Heng took the mineral water from Zhouzhuang, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a few sips.

While drinking water, his eyes glanced back and forth at the logistics staff intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't look, they are not ordinary investigators."

Sure enough, Su Heng felt something was wrong from the beginning.

These so-called logistical teams of investigators were well-trained from the beginning to the end. They searched for clues everywhere in the tube building, processed the body parts, and sealed them in transparent plastic bags. They cooperated tacitly throughout the process without even saying a word. It was exactly like A veteran who has experienced many battles and seen big scenes.     This is not a quality that can be developed in a short period of time.

"So they are?"

"One of our own."

Zhouzhuang explained without hesitation.

own people?
  Is the establishment of an investigator agency just a cover, and the real purpose is to provide cover for these people?
  It seemed like an open and fair test, but a group of people had already been secretly appointed. These people were mixed with people without any background like Li Ping and Liu Yun, making them even more difficult to detect.

What a good idea.

"So you couldn't detect Ruan Yanfei's abnormality even though you were wearing a spiritual mirror?"

Although Su Heng had already explained the matter from beginning to end, Zhouzhuang still had to confirm it again and again for such an important matter.

"Yes, the spiritual mirror shows that his magnetic field strength level is only D55. In actual combat, I feel that he is at least a C-level evil spirit."

"It's a pity that the spiritual mirror is broken. This thing worth tens of millions broke in less than half a month in your hands."

Zhou Zhuang told Su Heng that the spiritual mirror he wore was different from that of the mid-level investigator. Senior investigators and intermediate-level spiritual masters and above wear spiritual mirror version 2.0. This version can accurately calculate the level of evil spirits. The ordinary 1.0 version can only calculate the approximate interval level.

"If it's not broken, we can know the specific level value of Ruan Yanfei after his mutation."

"Yeah, it's all my fault."

Su Heng's face was filled with distress, but in fact he was the one who broke the spiritual mirror. The reason for this is simple. If others know that Ruan Yanfei's mutated magnetic field level is C85, his status as C05 will soon be lost.

"It's not your fault either."

Su Heng changed the subject: "By the way, has Ruan Yanfei turned into an evil spirit?"

"I don't know the specifics."

This is what Zhouzhuang is saying. If Ruan Yanfei's body hadn't been lying on the ground, he wouldn't have believed that the extraordinary person he had just met a few days ago could become such a virtuous person.

It has eight eyes and spider legs on its back, but it retains basic human characteristics. It looks like a shape-shifting monster in mythology.

And according to Su Heng, Ruan Yanfei acted like a normal person until the second before his transformation.

This unscientific.

There is a process for humans to mutate into evil spirits. It usually takes a week from the initial physical abnormality to gradually losing one's mind and finally completely mutating into a mindless monster.

Zhouzhuang has never heard of such a thing that suddenly mutated in a short period of time and retained some sanity.

"Until the investigation results are officially announced, this matter must be kept confidential, do you understand?"

"I know, what are you going to do with Coke?"

"Oh, Ruan Yanfei's son. Don't worry about this. We have rich experience in family placement."

Experience?

"That's okay, I'll go back first."

"Don't worry, go make up the transcript. This is a bit too much for the Forgotten, but I still hope you can recall more details. After all, before Xiang Zibo woke up, you were the only one who knew what happened best."

In this incident, the only surviving investigator was Xiang Zibo. However, he was tortured so badly that all his teeth were lost and he only had two fingers left. When he was found, he had fallen into a severe coma and was just sent to the hospital for rescue.

"I try my best."

……

After Su Heng left, Zhouzhuang stayed for another half an hour, and finally waited for Wei Zonglin.

Wei Zonglin rushed to the scene, took one look at Ruan Yanfei's body, and ordered Zhouzhuang to send it to the Psychic Research Institute immediately.

Zhouzhuang carefully reminded:
  "Professor Xie should have fallen asleep at this point."

"Then call him up."

Wei Zonglin no longer paid attention to Zhouzhuang, but walked to the center of the courtyard by himself, and looked up at the small sky above his head.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the tube towers surrounding him were a safe zone, and that humans who claimed to have conquered the stars were, after all, just a bunch of frogs in a well who knew nothing about it.
