The Growth of a God

Chapter 149: Railway Hill (35)

Ten minutes later, when He Bo, Huo Dou and Luo Shen arrived near the railway warehouse.

The local police have been fully mobilized and started large-scale investigation and search operations.

"Huh? Are the police here so soon?"

Looking at the policemen not far away with some surprise, Huodou's question directly received a roll of the eyes from Luo Shen.

"Do you think we are making a movie?"

“Isn’t it normal for the police to rush to the scene as soon as possible?”

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Huodou clearly remembered that before he and Habaek went out, they did not receive any notification that the police would also participate in this operation.

"The current situation is indeed a bit wrong. Maybe the little girl's parents called the police."

Looking back at the somewhat confused Huo Dou, He Bo, who had been walking in front, continued speaking.

"Although a missing person case can only be filed after 48 hours."

"But under normal circumstances, as long as the parents of a missing child report the case, the police will take action immediately."

"After all, if something really happens to the child, forty-eight hours is the golden rescue time."

Following closely behind Ha Bo, the three of them smoothly arrived in front of the police.

The leading police officer obviously knew Ha Bo, so he just said hello and let the three people enter the security area.

Then, Huodou noticed a man and two women talking to the police not far away.

One of the men and one of the women looked anxious and unhappy, and they would argue loudly from time to time.

The other middle-aged woman kept speaking to comfort him, but she was mostly telling the police some information.

"Shh!"

While Ha Bo was walking forward to talk to the police officer.

Huodou immediately signaled to Luoshen beside him to keep quiet, while he listened carefully and collected information.

Seeing this, Luo Shen immediately understood and provided cover, looking like she was sharing the honor and disgrace.

......................................................................................................

With his extraordinary listening and comprehension abilities.

Huodou quickly pieced together the words of everyone present and roughly sorted out the whole story.

As Huodou had expected before, the police did not seal off the scene in advance just to cooperate with the operation of Bureau 749.

In fact, before Ha Baek showed up, the police didn’t even know that this mysterious organization would actually participate in this “search and rescue operation”.

As for the one man and two women who were talking to the police?
After eavesdropping for a while, Huodou also learned their identities.

The young man and woman among the one man and two women are the parents of He Jiali, the missing little girl in He Bo's information.

It was because of their timely reporting to the police that the police and Bureau 749 were able to learn about He Jiali's disappearance at the first opportunity.

Not long after that, the police received another call from a middle-aged woman.

According to the middle-aged woman, she is the owner of a nearby breakfast shop.

On weekdays, people get up early and go to bed late. Basically, the theater opens before dawn and does not close until curtain time.

But this afternoon, when the stall was about to close, the proprietress who was cleaning the kitchen suddenly heard a child's voice coming from outside.

When she hurried out of the kitchen, she saw that the steamer she was using to steam buns had been opened and the buns inside had been stolen.

Not only that, she also noticed that the remaining soy milk next door had also been drunk up.

The proprietress who realized she had been robbed returned to the front desk immediately, but was surprised to find that no one had stolen any money.

Later, by observing the surveillance video in the store, the proprietress noticed that the "thief" was actually a little girl.

After being reminded by others, the proprietress realized that the little girl was most likely a lost child nearby, so she immediately called the police. What happened next was similar to what Huotou saw now.

After receiving the notification, the police verified the identity details and immediately dispatched personnel to search the area.

Apart from the coincidence of timing, this police operation has nothing to do with Bureau 749.

"Boss! How's the investigation going?"

"Did you get any useful information from the police?"

Just when Huodou was about to eavesdrop further, Luoshen's deliberately raised voice sounded in his ears.

After getting the hint, Huodou immediately turned around and looked at Hebaek who was walking towards them.

"Don't think I don't know what you two did!"

After glaring at Luoshen unhappily, He Bo turned around and spoke to Huo Dou.

"I haven't heard any news from here."

"Did you hear any useful information from your side?"

Without any embarrassment, Huodou shook his head calmly.

"Apart from knowing that He Jiali ran away from home because of her parents' quarrel, I didn't hear any useful information."

Running away from home because of her parents' quarrel is consistent with Huodou's perception of a little girl of this age.

But the problem now is that the 749th Bureau headquarters clearly observed the aura of a "possessed" from He Jiali.

So was it because this little girl was controlled by the ancient god that she chose to run away from home?
Or was it because of the strong stimulation of running away from home for the first time that he heard the voice of the ancient god?
"Then why are you still standing there?"

"We have to find He Jiali before that ancient god makes any bigger noise!"

Rubbing his temples with a headache, Ha Bo said as he walked towards the mountains behind the railway warehouse.

"Ah? We're going into the mountains?"

"Going into the mountains so late at night? I'm a complete navigator!"

Realizing instantly what He Bo was planning to do, Luo Shen widened her eyes and almost said directly, "I don't want to go anymore."

In fact, it’s no wonder that Luo Shen reacted like that.

As a child who grew up in this city, Luo Shen had heard many legends about this mountain from his parents.

A weird grandma who likes to eat people...

Mass graves buried in the mountains during the Anti-Japanese War...

The elementary school student who suddenly disappeared in this neighborhood on his way home at night...

Having heard so many similar legends, even after she became an adult, the Goddess of Luo River instinctively resisted entering the back mountain.

"You are already a grown-up, and you are still afraid of this and that."

Turning his head helplessly and glaring at Luoshen, He Bo had no choice but to explain.

"I just asked Director Cao, they only found the footprints of two children in the railway warehouse, but not He Jiali herself."

"Judging from the footprints, He Jiali and the other child should have entered the mountain."

"The temperature has been low at night recently. If we can't find them in time, then I guess..."

Having said this, He Bo stopped talking and sighed deeply.

Regardless of whether He Jiali was possessed by the ancient god, he could not sit idly by and watch two children spend the night in the mountains.
