Mysterious recovery

Zhong Shan shrugged: "The score is not as good as others, and it's only natural that he can't be the captain, but I don't have any objections to the others. Li Jun seems to be almost interested. I don't remember him making any special contributions."

"This time Li Jun led the team to indirectly solve the ghost incident, plus zero casualties, and successfully brought back a lot of special things. Is this reason enough?" Cao Yanhua asked.

In this operation, Li Jun was specially arranged to lead the team in order to qualify as the captain, otherwise it would be difficult for Li Jun to convince everyone.

"Then I have nothing to ask."

Cao Yanhua nodded: "Very well, since everyone has no opinion, let's stop this matter and don't discuss it in the future. The following is the main content of this time."

This time the slideshow jumps.

"Ghost painting incident."

Several large characters appeared on the screen.

For Cao Yanhua, the captain's plan is just a general announcement, and it will not be discussed at the meeting. It takes up more than ten minutes, which is considered a long time. Ghost painting incident.

As a supernatural event defined as S-level by foreign countries, Cao Yanhua did not dare to be sloppy or careless, and must be resolved as soon as possible.

If this matter is not resolved, he will not feel at ease all day, and many things will not be carried out according to the previous plan.

Seeing those four words on the screen, the discussions on the conference table were much less.

The atmosphere gradually became somewhat dignified again.

These four words seem to have a strange power, which makes people really unable to relax.

Chapter 5 Background in the painting

The captain's plan is not the focus of this meeting, this time the focus is on the ghost painting incident.

Another S-level supernatural event extended from the ghost incident, and this ghost painting incident has a precedent in foreign countries. It once wiped out a top team of foreign ghost masters, causing unimaginable The number of deaths, and now somewhere abroad still has graphic phobia.

Cao Yanhua looked solemn, and he motioned to the staff.

Immediately, the slideshow turned into a data map with all the information about the ghost painting incident written on it.

"About the occurrence of this ghost painting incident, the main source is the mission plan of the ghost messenger incident. Professor Wang suggested that ghost paintings be brought to the outskirts of the city, so as to suppress the ghost messenger's ghost domain, so as to completely solve the ghost messenger incident. Cao Yanhua pointed to the picture and said, "The plan is very successful."

"The ghost domain of the ghost messenger was completely covered by ghost paintings, and the ghost messenger disappeared..."

"However, there were some mistakes at the end of the plan. The ghost drawing plan carried out by Chen Yi, Zhong Shan, and Guo Fan did not completely lead the five ghosts out of the ghost painting to the designated place. When the ghost candle was replaced halfway The two ghosts disappeared."

After speaking, he pointed to another photo.

The photo showed a dark road, and five strange figures stood there in the middle of the road, seeming to be walking this way.

The figures of these five people are very familiar, a bit like Li Jun, Su Fan, Liu San, Ah Hong, and Xu Yiping.

No, not thinking, but their image.

"So, this painting can change the image of a ghost? Become any one of us?" Cao Yang frowned, pointing directly at the center of the question.

"It doesn't look wrong." Someone agreed.

"If it's just changing the image, it should be easy to find out. After all, ghosts are different from people, and that weird feeling can't be hidden anyway." Jiang Shangbai frowned.

"Maybe it's not as simple as we see it. Only after real contact can we know why ghosts change their appearance and why five ghosts can emerge. There should be only one ghost painting, and there is only one source ghost." Some people were also puzzled. up.

Cao Yanhua continued: "The two ghosts who disappeared looked like Su Fan and Liu San. I don't know if this is the key information. You just need to remember it. Besides, a few days after these two ghosts disappeared, The ghost painting incident appeared in the urban area."

"Here are some pictures of ghost paintings we have collected so far. You can take a look."

After speaking, the slideshow flashed, and four pictures of ghost paintings appeared on the screen.

Every ghost painting is basically the same, the old carved picture frame is painted with mottled red paint, and the blurred oil painting depicts a woman with indistinct facial features, wearing red European-style clothes , the white hands look out of place with the surrounding painting style.

"The background is different." Yang Jian's expression changed slightly when he saw the four ghost paintings.

Although the appearance of each ghost painting is similar, there is an image of a woman appearing on it, but behind the woman, the background of the oil painting is completely different.

The background of an oil painting is a piece of high-rise buildings hidden in the dark, with blurred window openings, and some unrecognizable figures can be faintly revealed. Judging from the outline and appearance of the building, it looks like the inside of a metropolis high-end apartment complex.

The background of the second oil painting is also in a dark and gloomy style, but the things in the painting have changed. It is a tree-lined park, and there are a few pedestrians standing vaguely on the path in the park.

The background style of the third oil painting is also dark and weird, but it is not a residential area or a park, but a school. There is a dormitory building occupying most of the place in the school, and other buildings have become a dark place. The outline in it is not clear.

The third oil painting is a busy city road, many vehicles are jammed nearby, and there are many high-rise buildings around.

"I think you should have discovered that the backgrounds of these four oil paintings are different. According to my comparison, the background buildings behind them should be Shangfeng Community, Forest Park, Dajing University, and... Tianqiao Avenue."

Cao Yanhua said: "Moreover, these four places are all places where accidents happened, and ghost paintings and murders have occurred in all of them."

"Backgrounds in different paintings, the same ghosts, paintings that keep appearing. All of these are like a mystery, especially the last point, how did ghost paintings appear out of thin air? This is the most important question to be clarified right now."

"It's not so easy to figure it out. If it is cleared up, the loss abroad will not be so serious. It is estimated that this issue has been discussed countless times." Jiang Shangbai shook his head slightly and said.

"I agree with Jiang Shangbai's words. I think it is almost impossible to analyze the situation of ghost paintings here by relying on some fragmentary clues." Chen Yi also nodded and said, and then said: "Yang Jian, I heard that you dealt with the ghost painting incident last night, and the ghost painting incident you handled was different from what we dealt with. At that time, the ghost painting formed a ghost domain and covered two floors."

"Have you ever come into contact with the ghost in the ghost painting? Why don't you tell me your opinion."

At this time, everyone looked at Yang Jian.

After all, it is very likely that they will face the ghost painting incident next time, and they don't want to miss any clues. It is most appropriate for Yang Jian to speak out at this time.

After this time, Yang Jian is probably not willing to share information.

Cao Yanhua's expression changed, and he also looked at Yang Jian: "Yang Jian, you have some experience, you can share it."

However, Yang Jian was very calm: "There is nothing to say. It is similar to other supernatural events. The ghost domain affects the surroundings, and ghosts wander in the ghost domain... The only thing worth noting is that in the ghost domain, ghost paintings and ghosts are Separately, if you want to be imprisoned, you must first find the hidden ghost painting, otherwise the ghost cannot be solved, because even if you solve the ghost first, new ghosts will come out of the ghost painting again."

"So painting is the source."

"Restart?" Feng Quan on the side asked in surprise.

"It's not a restart. It's different from a restart. A ghost painting represents a ghost. The painting will not change, but it will make the ghost inside appear again and again, similar to...resurrection." Yang Jian thought for a while and said.

Restarting is much scarier than this. Restarting is the restart of the ghost itself, which means you have to deal with it again, but the ghost painting does not need it. You can completely avoid the ghost inside, find the ghost painting, and then find a way to imprison it. The difficulty is still relatively low.

"Yang Jian, how were you imprisoned?" Li Jun asked.

Yang Jian didn't hide it either: "First, get rid of the ghosts wandering in the ghost domain, and imprison the ghost paintings before they come out of the ghost paintings. This is my method."

"That is to say, at least two people are required to cooperate if you want to imprison the ghost painting? One person will deal with the ghost, and the other will find the ghost painting and wait there?" Li Leping said calmly.

"Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with this, but this is just an ordinary ghost painting. Where is the source?"

Yang Jian said: "The source is definitely not as simple as imagined, but then again, who are you? How come I don't know you at all."

"My name is Li Leping, you just need to remember my name, as for me, you can't remember it." Li Leping said.

Li Leping?

Yang Jian turned his head, he did only remember this name in his mind, and he seemed to have come into contact with this person during the last meeting, but the memory of this person...doesn't exist at all.

Someone who can't be remembered?

It's really weird.

Yang Jian glanced at him again, but he forgot again in a blink of an eye, and this was not the first time.

It is estimated that I will still not recognize him next time I see him, unless he takes the initiative to say his name.

"Then the main purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to solve the ghost painting together?" someone asked.

Cao Yanhua said: "That's right, three days, I'll give you three days, no matter what method you use, even if you turn the whole city upside down, you must find the ghost painting and confirm the source, if anyone can do it, The headquarters can satisfy his request which is not excessive."

"If anyone can directly solve the ghost painting incident, then I can make an exception and promote him to be the candidate for this captain's plan."

three days?

Yang Jian couldn't help but change when he heard the deadline.

He had previously told Cao Yanhua that he would only stay in this city for five days. Now two days have passed, and he will return to Dachang City in three days. By then, everything here will have nothing to do with him.

But it happened at this juncture.

It seems that the past three days will not be too easy for me.

However, Cao Yanhua's deadline was not deliberately set for Yang Jian, but a decision he made after thinking and evaluating.

Because if the ghost painting incident cannot be resolved in a short period of time, it will definitely have a huge impact.

In addition, many people can't stay here for a long time, and sooner or later they have to return to their respective cities, so three days is almost the limit of most people, and any longer time will also bring inconvenience to other cities.

"Fix the ghost painting incident and become the captain directly?" Many people's eyes flickered, and they seemed to have moved a little bit.

They had already learned about the captain's power during the discussion just now.

It is indeed very tempting.

Jurisdiction over a large area, dozens of large and small cities, you can form your own team of ghost masters, and at the same time, the headquarters will also unconditionally support some key materials, and give priority to ensuring the survival of the captain...

It is impossible for anyone with a little ambition not to be tempted.

But thinking of the difficulty and complexity of this incident, he secretly shook his head.

In order to solve the ghost painting, so many top ghost masters must be summoned. Although they have cautious ideas, the degree of weirdness and danger of that thing is self-evident.

A careless estimate will destroy the group in minutes.

"If you have no doubts, then Professor Wang will be responsible for explaining the relevant information about the ghost painting incident." Cao Yanhua said.

At this time, the decadent and haggard Wang Xiaoming raised his head slightly, as if he had been sleeping all the time before.

"The files of the ghost painting incident have always been in the hands of foreign countries. Their information should be preserved, so we can only sort out and guess based on the information we have obtained so far... The following are some of my personal opinions and analysis. You guys You can listen to..."

Wang Xiaoming stood up and pointed to the four photos of ghost paintings on the screen: "First of all, I deduce that if we really want to find the source of ghost paintings, there is a high probability that we must enter any ghost painting again. possible."

His words were very concise, and he got to the point directly.

"What? Go into the ghost painting to find the ghost painting?" Someone was shocked immediately.

The level of danger is too high.

Looking for things in front of ghosts, if you can't stand it, you will definitely be killed in the ghost painting.

"It's just my personal inference. You can pay attention to the backgrounds of the four ghost paintings, Shangfeng Community, Forest Park, Dajing University, and Tianqiao Avenue. Have you found these four locations, all of which are not repeated, although the first Five, the sixth ghost painting did not appear, but if it did, it should prove that my deduction is not wrong."

Wang Xiaoming continued: "The background of the ghost paintings should have a certain degree of connectivity, that is to say, if you can enter one of the ghost paintings, there is a high probability that you can go to another ghost painting."

"The feasibility of entering the ghost painting has been proven, because the bodies of several victims were found in the ghost painting. Look carefully at this corner." He pointed to an inconspicuous dim corner of the first ghost painting .

The picture of that place is enlarged, and a person in modern women's clothes is lying there. Although the body is shrouded in darkness in the background, a vague outline can still be seen clearly.

"Professor Wang, you are just guessing."

Jiang Shangbai said solemnly: "You can't venture into the ghost painting to find the source just because of a guess, otherwise many people will die."

"Unless there are no clues, we can only rely on the existing conditions to make guesses. This is the only way." Wang Xiaoming said seriously: "There is no other better way, and I think my deduction is correct. "

"Assuming that the ghost paintings are really connected, if you can't find the source after entering the ghost paintings, wouldn't you die inside?" Someone asked.

Wang Xiaoming said: "This is a very stupid question. Ghost paintings are both entrances and exits. I have four ghost paintings in my hand, which means there are four exits. The premise is that you don't get lost inside. After all, they are ghost paintings. The world, what period will happen, and I don’t know what I will encounter.”

"It may even be a trap to enter the ghost painting. I just mentioned this possibility. If it is to be confirmed, someone needs to take a risk."

Take a risk?

Are you kidding, this is a life-saving attempt.

"And you'd better move faster. The background of the ghost painting is like a jigsaw puzzle. It seems to be pieced together. If all the areas are connected, then all the exits may not exist. Ghost painting It is very likely that there will be a complete recovery, and at that time, the ghost domain of ghost paintings will most likely cover a city, and the scope...can continue to increase."

"As for the reason why the ghost painting appeared, I don't know for the time being, because there is no information to provide, it feels like it appeared out of thin air, so you need to find the clues."

"Besides, there is another possibility..."

Hearing Wang Xiaoming's explanation, Yang Jian's heart gradually sank.

His speculation was bold and reasonable, which he had never imagined before.

Ghost paintings are connected?

Find the source by entering ghost paintings?

"If Wang Xiaoming's deduction is true, then when I dealt with the ghost painting before, there should be an entrance that can lead to the deeper part of the ghost painting in the ghost domain covering two floors, but I didn't find it... Or is his guess about ghost paintings wrong?"

While thinking about it, Yang Jian also heard another possible conjecture from Wang Xiaoming.

Ghost paintings are just plain ghosts, hiding somewhere in the city, and by finding it the incident can be solved.

But Wang Xiaoming was not satisfied with this conjecture.

Because it's too simple.

If it was that simple, it should have been solved a long time ago in foreign countries, so he tended to the first one, but Wang Xiaoming did not deny this conjecture.
