"If their statements are similar, then no matter how unbelievable this matter is, it is true."
At this point, Xie Xia Xia's eyes revealed determination. He was determined to get to the bottom of this matter.
Looking at Xie Xia Xia, Hou Hao finally nodded after a few seconds: "Xie Xia Xia, I reserve my opinion on this matter. But you can do what you want, I just need to see the results."
Xie Xia Xia naturally understood that as the head of the group, there were some things that could not be said. No matter how strange this matter was, the head of the group could not associate it with incorrect thoughts.
But Hou Hao's agreement also showed that he agreed with Xie Xia Xia's approach in his heart.
After getting Hou Hao's authorization, Xie Xiaxia quickly left the office. He immediately found all the soldiers who had been on guard in the past few days and questioned them according to the previous plan.
The soldiers' confessions were recorded one by one and finally handed over to Xie Xiaxia. When he saw these confessions, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Before anyone else could react, Xie Xia Xia left in big strides and hurried to Hou Hao's office.
"Captain, it seems something really happened." Xie Xia Xia said as she handed the confession in her hand to Hou Hao.
Hou Hao checked them one by one with doubt, and soon his expression changed from doubt to shock. "This... this..." He even raised his head and looked at Xie Xia Xia incoherently, and asked in disbelief, "Did the soldiers say these?"
Xie Xia Xia nodded solemnly, and then expressed her opinion: "Captain, this matter is probably more complicated than we thought. These soldiers have no possibility or need to collude with each other. But in their confessions, their descriptions of what happened while they were on guard were basically the same. They all mentioned the sudden white fog and a wet figure in the white fog. Even the words that person said were basically the same."
Hou Hao listened to Xie Xia Xia's words while looking at the confessions in his hand. If he didn't know that these confessions were all from the soldiers, he would have thought he was reading some folk legend.
At three o'clock in the morning, thick fog suddenly rose and a strange man appeared... These keywords formed an unsolved mystery in Hou Hao's mind.
As the head of the regiment, he had never dealt with such a thing, so he was naturally a little overwhelmed at the moment. Looking at Hou Hao, Xie Xia Xia said thoughtfully: "Head, this matter is indeed difficult to understand. But according to what the soldiers said, the wet figure who suddenly appeared in the white fog always pointed in the direction of the back mountain and said that he couldn't go home because the door to his home was blocked. He also said that the sound of firecrackers made him restless. Some soldiers analyzed that the sound of firecrackers was probably the sound of soldiers training and shooting."
Hearing this, Hou Hao subconsciously glanced through the window toward the back mountain: "The cemetery at the back mountain has been abandoned for many years. Are you saying that this incident is related to that cemetery?"
Xie Xia Xia naturally didn't dare to say such a statement, but his silence was already a response to Hou Hao. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little tense...
The only thought in Hou Hao and Xie Xia Xia's minds at this moment was how to explain this series of strange events from a scientific perspective.
However, as the confusion on their faces grew, it became clear that their attempts were not making any progress.
Despite this, Hou Hao, as the regiment commander, still stood firm and did not allow this feudal superstition to spread in the army.
After a moment, he looked up at Xie Xia Xia and decisively gave the order:
"Immediately quell the rumors circulating in the army and prohibit further discussion of this matter. Starting tonight, add a night guard and require reporting once every hour via intercom."
Xie Xia Xia understood Hou Hao's intention. He wanted to quell the chaos in the army as soon as possible and ensure the safety of the soldiers on night duty.
Xie Xia Xia quickly conveyed Hou Hao's order, and the effect was immediate, and the rumors quickly dissipated in the army.
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and everyone began to keep silent about the matter.
But silence does not mean forgetting. When night falls, the soldiers who are chosen to stand night guard are filled with anxiety.
That night, not only did the soldiers have trouble sleeping, but Hou Hao and Xie Xia Xia also stayed up all night. They discussed the matter over and over again in the office.
The quietness of the night may make people more emotional, or maybe it's because they are the only two people left in the room, Hou Hao finally revealed his inner thoughts:
"Xie Xia Xia, to be honest, I have not come to a conclusion about this matter yet. As soldiers, we must be responsible for our words and deeds. But the occurrence of these things makes me puzzled. There is no one living within ten miles of this place. Where did the man the soldiers saw come from? Moreover, they all said that the man was wet, and the nearest river to us is eight kilometers away. Did that man walk from eight kilometers away? What is his purpose? Why does he always disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Hou Hao's series of questions made Xie Xia Xia realize that Hou Hao had been thinking about this matter silently.
And these issues are indeed worth pondering.
The cemetery behind the military base has actually existed for many years.
There used to be a village there, but with the development of the times, the villagers moved away.
Today, the cemetery is unattended and has become dilapidated.
However, such a strange thing suddenly happened now, and Hou Hao and Xie Xia Xia were both very confused.
What is the connection between that man and the grave he pointed to?
When Xie Xiaxia focused his thinking on this issue, he soon had an idea:
"Captain Guo, how about we send a few soldiers to the cemetery to take a look? Maybe we'll find something."
Hou Hao thought about Xie Xia Xia's suggestion for a while before nodding his head, and at the same time he did not forget to say:
"You can go and take a look, but you must keep it a secret and don't let other soldiers know that we are investigating this matter. Otherwise, it will really make things more obvious."
Xie Xia Xia nodded, then quickly left Hou Hao's office.
As for the person to go to the cemetery, Xie Xia Xia already had an idea in mind.
He didn't want to involve more people, lest the matter escalate.
Therefore, he decided to send the soldiers who had experienced strange events in the previous few days.
Keeping things under control among these few people may be the best solution.
When Xie Xia Xia gave the order, several soldiers nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yong, known as Lao Wang by his comrades, temporarily served as the captain of the team.
He arranged for other soldiers to take flashlights and headed towards the back mountain.
To be honest, they were actually a little scared, but more of them were confused.
They want to find out the truth about the strange events of the past few days.
Therefore, when Xie Xia Xia proposed to go to the cemetery to investigate, they readily agreed.
Several people walked silently across the training ground and out of the gate.
The soldiers on guard were also curious about where they were going.
But no matter how they asked, Zhang Yong and the others acted as if they didn't hear anything and just left.
To get to the back mountain, you have to go around the military base.
Because the entire base only has one entrance and exit, the front door, and all other places are closed.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the group finally arrived at the foot of the back mountain.
Here, they could already vaguely see many stone tablets standing on the mountain in the dark.
The cemetery was overgrown with weeds and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Under the cold moonlight, the big trees on both sides looked particularly ferocious with their fangs and claws bared.
"Everyone please be careful and don't be too far away. If anything happens, you can take care of each other."
While giving instructions, Zhang Yong walked in first.
The other soldiers nodded and followed suit.
It seems that there are at least hundreds of tombstones in this cemetery, and many graves do not have tombstones.
Anyone would feel creepy coming to a cemetery late at night.
But at least Zhang Yong and his men are well-trained soldiers and are still calm at the moment.
Zhang Yong stood in the grave and looked back down the mountain. From here, he could directly see the military station.
This made him think of the rumors that had been circulating in the military.
The strange figure in the white mist always said that the constant sound of firecrackers disturbed him. Zhang Yong frowned slightly, then looked at the soldiers behind him:
"Has anyone seen the man in the white mist? What does he look like?"
Several soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads.
"The fog was so thick that I couldn't see clearly. I just felt like he had just come out of the water. He was wet all over, and there was a constant sound of dripping water."
"Yes, yes, I heard the dripping sound too."
"I was the one who wanted to check on him that day, but another soldier got there first. Now I realize that he saved my life. Otherwise, I would have been the one lying unconscious in the infirmary."
The soldiers were talking to each other. Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone fell into silence:
"It was a man, probably in his forties. He was wearing a cotton coat that was soaked with water. The man looked very bad, as if he would suffocate at any moment."
Everyone turned around and saw that the person who said this was a soldier who had also experienced the strange incident.
Zhang Yong asked in confusion: "Why can you see it so clearly?"
The soldier shook his head solemnly: "I didn't see it at the time, but I kept having nightmares after I went back. It's been the same dream for the past few days. In the dream, it's the scene of me standing guard. The man in the white fog looks like this."
Hearing this, Zhang Yong didn't say anything more. After all, this was just a dream, whether it could be taken seriously was another matter.
He didn't discuss anything further, but just ordered the other soldiers to walk around the cemetery.
If there is nothing unusual, return early.
However, not long after walking along the path in front of them, several people noticed at the same time that there was something unusual about a grave.
This grave seems to have been here for a long time, and the words on the tombstone are a little unclear. Only a photo is vaguely visible in the night.
The reason why this grave attracted the soldiers' attention was that a fallen tree trunk was pressing on the grave.
The moment they saw this scene, several soldiers began to think of it.
In the white fog, they heard the man say that his door was blocked.
Even they themselves couldn't explain why they suddenly thought of these words at this moment.
Zhang Yong shone the flashlight on the photo on the tombstone.
When the soldier who had previously claimed to have nightmares saw this photo, he gasped in surprise:
"The man I saw in my dream seemed to be him!"
As soon as these words came out, several soldiers subconsciously took a few steps back.
A chill rose behind them, and everyone was a little at a loss.
If they were asked to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, these soldiers would not be afraid at all.
But they had never experienced such a thing before, so their performance at this moment was more stable than that of ordinary people.
However, human instinct is to be absolutely afraid of the unknown, and these soldiers in front of us are no exception.
Several people looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontrollable panic.
Zhang Yong took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and asked:
"Take a closer look, are you sure you're seeing things?"
The soldier shook his head firmly and answered word by word:
"I will never forget that face..."
Under the moonlight, the soldier's face looked extremely bad, and it was obvious that he was tortured by the nightmares of the past few days.
No wonder he would say such things.
After hearing this, Zhang Yong made a quick decision:
"Quick, go back and report to the political commissar.
This is too weird, retreat immediately..."
At Zhang Yong's command, the soldiers followed closely and quickly went down the mountain.
They left in a hurry, not noticing that a gust of cold wind blew past them not long after they left the cemetery...
In the gloomy wind, there seemed to be a flash of yellow light.
……
Zhang Yong led the soldiers to quickly return along the original route, walking hurriedly all the way.
Everyone was silent and didn't even dare to talk about what had just happened.
However, when they returned to the station gate, they found several guards gathered together.
Zhang Yong's heart tightened, and he secretly said:
"Oops, something happened!"
Sure enough, when they got closer, they found that two more soldiers had fallen into a coma.
The expressions of the two people were the same as the previous ones, with distorted faces, pale faces and wide-open eyes.
"Don't just stand there, send him to the infirmary!"
The soldiers behind Zhang Yong had experienced this kind of thing in the past few days, so they didn't ask any more questions and quickly lifted the two soldiers and sent them to the infirmary.
Zhang Yong went straight to the team leader's office.
"report!"
Following Zhang Yong's voice, Xie Xia Xia immediately stood up and opened the door, and asked anxiously:
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Zhang Yong quickly reported their findings in the cemetery to Xie Xia Xia and Hou Hao.
After hearing this, both of them frowned.
Xie Xia Xia even looked at Zhang Yong seriously again and confirmed:
"Can you take responsibility for what you said?"
Zhang Yong straightened his back and answered loudly:
"Report, not only me, but others can also testify."
Speaking of other people, Xie Xia Xia immediately asked:
"By the way, where are the others? Why didn't they come with you?"
Zhang Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead immediately after hearing this:
"When we came back, we found two more soldiers unconscious."
"Snapped!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Hao angrily slammed the table:
"It has been six days in a row, and every day there are soldiers falling into coma. If this continues, everyone in our garrison will be sent to the hospital before the battle even starts.
What kind of demon or monster, wearing this military uniform, is afraid of this? "(End of this chapter)
