Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 369 That night, I saw chickens everywhere!
The Huaquan City Investigation Bureau received a report from the police station that two chicken coops had been robbed, and at the same time, hundreds of chicken farmers had lost their chickens, all of which were roosters.

Because of the town of Candlestone, this information was sent directly to the Bureau of Public Opinion.

Upon seeing this information, the information processing department immediately forwarded it to He Lang, the director of the Huaquan Municipal Bureau of Surveys, as this situation had already been addressed.

"We lost over a thousand roosters in one day. Looks like we've encountered a big fish!"

He Lang murmured.

The public disclosure of Zhuyeshi Town is a protection for ordinary people, but more importantly, it serves as a deterrent to those grassroots organizations that are still causing trouble.

With the town of Zhuyeshi in place, the actions of those grassroots organizations will inevitably be severely hampered.

But even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a person.
Therefore, the Bureau of Polls had already issued a plan for dealing with the follow-up events, which included vigilance against the 'sabotage' behavior of non-governmental organizations.

Even the Bureau of Investigation couldn't find a real way to control these talismans, let alone grassroots organizations.

It cannot solve the problem of the suppressing object, but it can solve the problem of the suppressing object's growth.

If the materials used to make the talisman are destroyed, and there are no materials left, where will the talisman be?

However, there are too many stones to destroy. If civilian organizations really had that kind of ability, then the Great Xia Dynasty would have changed hands directly!

Therefore, the target of non-governmental organizations will inevitably be chickens.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

On the very night that the town of Zhuyeshi was opened to the public, one-third of the large chicken farms in the Great Xia city were attacked.

If it weren't for this reason, the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't have been able to produce only a little over 500,000 house-protecting candles!

However, because they were prepared in advance, the members of the civilian organizations who went to sabotage the chicken farm were basically caught and dealt with on the spot.

However, there were also smart people in the civilian organizations who knew the danger. The people sent to deal with the chicken farm were almost all suicide soldiers. They were the kind of people who would rather die than let the chickens in the farm go unpunished.

If that were all there was to it, the people planted by the Bureau of Investigation would be easy to deal with.

The problem is that there are too many hidden civilian organizations, and the chicken farm is attacked by inexplicable attackers almost every few hours.

The Bureau of Polls couldn't focus all its efforts on chicken farms, and ultimately suffered losses at many of them.

As the effects of the attack on the chicken farms in Candlestone Town became more and more apparent, attacks on the farms by civilian organizations increased.

Among these events, the one that most infuriated the Bureau of Investigation was that a wealthy businessman spent a fortune to buy up nearly half of the small chicken farms and chicken coops in a city.

The Bureau of Investigation initially thought this was a speculator and sent someone to warn him not to raise the price.

But who knew that the merchant was actually a member of the Ghost Slave Organization? After buying the chickens, they killed them all without buying a single one.

By the time the Bureau of Investigation realized what had happened, the chickens had basically turned into minced meat, with chicken blood and meat mixed together.

This action directly resulted in a cap on the number of Candlestone Towns that a city could produce.

There are countless examples of such outrageous tactics.

So when He Lang heard that someone had robbed the chicken coop and stray chickens, he thought of the civilian organization.

This time, however, it's a calamity, not a killing.

A difference of just one word can make all the difference.

Who would rob a chicken?

Why rob a chicken?
As questions arose one after another, He Lang couldn't find the answers, but he knew that the organization doing this was no ordinary civilian organization.

So after thinking it over, he immediately sent five groups of cultivators to investigate the places where the chickens had gone missing.

Each of the five groups was equipped with a sieve, ghost candles, special cigarettes, and incense for warding off evil spirits.

Most of the non-governmental organizations are engaged in clandestine practices. They have tools for searching for ghosts and spirits, such as the Net Screen and the Bureau of Investigation. The chances of finding them are quite high.

About half an hour later, two groups of people reported the news.

Their targets were all located in a village outside Huaquan City.

During this process, they discovered many figures entering the village under the cover of night.

Through the sieve, all these figures emanated a sinister aura.

They observed more than twenty people, and there are countless others they didn't observe.

Upon hearing this news, He Lang made a decisive move, dispatching two top-tier Yin Cultivation team leaders and five senior Yin Cultivation teams to the scene.

As for why they are all practicing Yin cultivation, it's naturally because of the awkward position Yin cultivation currently holds.

With the public disclosure of the talisman, the practice of Yin cultivation became more cautious.

If you accidentally enter the house that created the Candle Night Stone Town, getting injured is a minor matter; having the evil spirit inside you eliminated is a major one.

Apart from top team leaders and a few senior team leaders whose strength reaches the level of ferocity, other specialists will still have to give up when they encounter Zhuye Stone Town.

Thus, the Bureau of Investigation faced a dilemma when it came to deploying Yin Xiu.

Therefore, many Yin cultivators don't have much to do now, while Yang cultivators are very busy.

However, in this mission, the enemy is also a Yin cultivator, which avoids the possibility that the enemy possesses a talisman.

As agents of the Bureau of Investigation, who are also involved in clandestine investigations, they can naturally perform their duties normally.

They traveled quickly, and by the time He Lang arrived at their destination, another half hour had passed.

After they gathered, He Lang obtained the latest news from the guards, Yang Xiu.

Those people went in and never came out again, nor did they make any noise.

Subsequently, the guards only managed to see a few Yin cultivators enter sporadically.

"It seems they're up to something in the village. Let's split up and go in, all of you adjust your watches, and send your location directly if there's any problem. Don't take any action on your own!"

"Yes!"

A dozen or so people split up into pairs and infiltrated in all directions of the village.

He Lang, on the other hand, walked alone in the dark corners of the village, wearing a mesh sieve.

He Lang was a male cultivator, but he only had a net sieve and a soul-binding rope in his hands.

It's not that he doesn't bring anything else, but for his current level, other special equipment is completely useless. It's more convenient for him to just charge in directly.

As for the Soul-Binding Rope, it was entirely because his Soul-Binding Rope was much stronger than those of others.

He obtained this soul-binding rope from a commissioner.

That commissioner was using the Soul-Binding Rope to catch ghosts, unlike others who, after catching ghosts with the Soul-Binding Rope, would either bring them back to the Bureau of Investigation or eliminate them on the spot with other special equipment.

The commissioner used a soul-binding rope to keep the ghosts bound until they died, and the reason for that was quite bizarre.

He just didn't want to travel back and forth; he found it annoying.

And it was precisely because of his laziness that this soul-binding rope was created.

In fact, He Lang had received information from the headquarters that these special equipment could become stronger based on the number of demons killed.

However, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television did not allow them to release the news; in fact, they even wanted to block it. He did not know the reason, but the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television must have its own judgment.

But whether it's made public or not, the things already exist, so we can't just destroy them, can we?

And that's how the Soul-Binding Rope ended up in his hands.

According to his tests, the Soul-Binding Rope in his hand can restrain ferocious ghosts, making him comparable to half a top-tier team leader.

If this soul-binding rope continues to kill, what will it become?
Could it be comparable to a temporary worker?
Having experienced the power of the upgraded Soul-Binding Rope, He Lang naturally had other ideas and wanted to get some more upgraded special equipment!

After much deliberation, he told the General Administration his request. To his surprise, the General Administration did not object, but only to one person, and only to him!

Without considering the intricacies involved, He Lang chose the net sieve.

The sieves obtained by ordinary agents of the Bureau of Investigation are all the first version, the version most effective at detecting suspicious traces.

The Bureau of Polls did not produce the second and third versions.

One reason is that the size of the net sieve is not suitable for catching ghosts. If it is made too large, it will be inconvenient to carry; if it is made too small, it can only catch ghosts of a corresponding size.

Moreover, the ability of the Net Screen to kill ghosts and spirits is not strong, and it is not worth mentioning compared to other special equipment that specializes in suppressing and killing.

As for the other reason, the Bureau of Investigation already has enough special equipment for attack, so the Net Screen is the best choice to use its investigative capabilities against the Bureau of Investigation.

If we add the ability of the net screen to deal with ghosts and spirits, then the ability to detect will inevitably be weakened, which would be putting the cart before the horse. However, these are considerations made by the General Administration based on the overall situation.

For Helang, the third version of the dual-function mesh screen is the most suitable.

Even with his authority and strength as the bureau chief, he only recently upgraded the Net Screen, a special piece of equipment that is difficult to find suitable for ghosts, to the next level.

What he can see now is far more than what other underworld messengers with the first version of the net sieve can see.

Following the scent emanating from those nets, Lang walked through the village for a long time before discovering that the Yin cultivators seemed to have dispersed to various households throughout the village.

Do they all live in this village?

Suddenly, He Lang seemed to hear something and darted into the shadows nearby.

Soon, two figures walked over quickly.

"...Why did the sect leader create that thing?"

"Just do it as instructed, why are there so many questions?"

"It's not that I'm asking too many questions, it's just that that thing is too dangerous! Even if we're just controlling ordinary people to do it, we still have to trigger it ourselves in the end! Aren't you afraid?"

"..."

"You're scared too, aren't you? We Ghost Heart lineage aren't good at fighting. If we don't control it properly, won't we be done for here? I've seen how powerful that thing is. If it gets out of control, it can peck our hearts out and eat them! If you ask me, we should let the other four lineages handle this!"

"After all this talk, do you dare not do it?"

"..."

"Alright, we've arrived at your place. I'll be going now. Just be careful."

As they spoke, one of the two suddenly turned and went into a house, while the other continued forward.

He Lang quickly heard a loud shout from the courtyard where they had just entered: "Who are you? Thief..."

But the sound became fainter and fainter as it went on.

He Lang quickly approached, reached out and used his qi and blood to poke a hole in the wall, then looked inside.

In the courtyard, a young man put down the large bag he was carrying on his back, and then said to the middle-aged couple, "You two, go and cut off the combs of all these chickens, put them in a big bowl and mash them into mince. Remember, don't waste a single drop of blood!"

Without saying a word, the middle-aged couple immediately went forward and dragged the large bag, which seemed to contain more than ten chickens, into the kitchen.

The young man then took out a few stones from another bag and placed them on the ground.

"Damn it, I never thought I'd be a stonemason one day!"

As he spoke, the young man put his phone aside, looked at the video on his phone, took out a carving knife, and began to carve the stone.

The carving knife didn't look sharp, but it carved into the stone as easily as carving tofu.

At this moment, He Lang, who was outside the courtyard, saw through the net sieve that the yin energy on the young man was turning into wisps and strands, wrapping around the carving knife.

"The Ghost Heart lineage does indeed have some expertise in controlling Yin energy."

While thinking this to himself, He Lang had already sent messages to everyone else via his mobile phone.

"Target located. Many people with demonic hearts are hiding in the village. After locating the target, mark the location with your watch and continue searching for other members of the demonic slave organization. Do not make any moves and await instructions."

After sending the message, He Lang used his mobile phone to send a message to the star-level specialist stationed in the bureau.

Just now, he heard the words "Master of the Ghost Heart Pulse".

This thing, he alone plus several top team leaders can't handle.

After sending the message, when he opened his phone and saw the map software specially made by the Bureau of Investigation, more than a dozen markers had appeared in various parts of the village.

He put away his phone and continued on to other locations.

Twenty minutes later.

He Lang and the other commissioners met up somewhere outside the village.

And compared to the beginning, there is one more person here.

"Sister Na, we've marked all the members of the Ghost Heart Clan in the village, but we still don't know the location of the Ghost Heart Clan leader."

He Lang looked at Wu Na and said.

Wu Na is someone who came from Huaquan City to the headquarters. Lang knows her strength; ordinary blood monsters are no match for her.

However, she was also a practitioner of Yin cultivation.

"Okay, you guys don't need to go anymore. I'll go alone. If I encounter the Ghost Heart Pulse Master, I'll send you a message. If I don't, I'll be fine on my own."

Hearing Wu Na say that, He Lang thought it was a good idea.

"That's settled then. But the Ghost Heart lineage is skilled in bewitching techniques. If you encounter them, Sister Na, don't get entangled. If you can kill them in one strike, then kill them in one strike!"

"Don't worry, I know."

As soon as Wu Na finished speaking, she was suddenly enveloped in a wisp of green smoke.

Soon, the wisp of smoke dissipated.

He Lang watched this scene, put his net on his face, and looked ahead.

On the road that was originally empty, a cloud of yin energy is now moving.

Previously, He Lang could only perceive it from a slightly closer distance, but now he can see it clearly.

Before he could even express his feelings to Lang, his expression froze.

Just as Wu Na's cloud of yin energy entered the village entrance, another figure, whose yin energy was three times stronger than Wu Na's, suddenly appeared.

He Lang saw that the Yin energy within the figure that came later merged into Wu Na's body in a special way, and then Wu Na turned around and faced them.

Then, it charged over!
As if he had thought of something, Lang's expression changed drastically.

"careful!"

As he spoke, a phantom furnace suddenly appeared on his body, enveloping him.

But as soon as the furnace appeared, he and the furnace were blasted away by Wu Na.

In mid-air, he saw dozens of smoke chains shoot out from Wu Na's body, piercing through the chests of the surrounding comrades.

Only two top team leaders managed to avoid fatal injuries, but they were still lifted up by the chains.

boom!
He landed and quickly rolled over to his feet.

Then he saw the dismembered comrades.

In an instant, his face turned as pale as paper.

Seeing Wu Na walking towards him, and then glancing at the figure behind her, He Lang reached out and pressed a button on his watch. Then, he rushed towards Wu Na.

When they were five meters away from Wu Na, He Lang dodged Wu Na's chains and threw something.

After the thing touched Wu Na's chains, it moved like a snake and quickly moved towards Wu Na, binding her tightly.

Without even glancing at Wu Na, He Lang bypassed her and headed towards the figure behind her.

During the process, the furnace on his body surface had been compressed to its limit, just waiting for Lang to detonate it.

Knowing he couldn't win or escape, all he could do was leave a lasting impression on his opponent.

But when Lang was still more than 20 meters away from that figure, he saw the rising sun through the net.

sun?

As he removed the sieve, He Lang involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

That's not the sun.
Those were chickens spreading their wings and soaring into the sky!

At that moment, directly in front of him, a sun flew out from the hand of the figure who had 'turned' Wu Na.

This sun is the real sun!
