Yancheng Special Office

The moment Luo Wenxiu saw this photo clearly, cold sweat immediately dripped down.

That "person" couldn't see men and women clearly, let alone clothing taste, height, fat, and thinness, and stood at the end of the fog like a shadow that couldn't be more blurred.

If Qi Jun and Pei Mengfei hadn't happened to walk in that direction when they were exploring the way, they could have even regarded it as a branch that just grew that way or some other visual error caused by light and shadow.

But no, Qi Jun clearly knew that there was nothing there.

Pei Mengfei snatched Luo Wenxiu's cell phone, enlarged the photo and looked at it over and over again for a long time. "What the hell is this... just didn't have it..."

Luo Wenxiu took out a fully charged power bank from his backpack and gave it to Pei Mengfei, then snatched back his phone.

Pei Mengfei: "Hey, if you don't give me the power bank sooner, I'll be bored for a long time..."

Luo Wenxiu: "Don't save the poor, I didn't want to give it to you just now."

Pei Mengfei: "Tsk... Hey, you young boy..."

At this moment, the car in front suddenly started to move, and Su Jian adjusted the direction of the car slightly on the spot, then turned on the high beams, and shone straight in that direction.

After waiting for a while, the figure did not move.

Luo Wenxiu rolled down the car window and poked his head out to take a look, "Tsk, I've been blinded by the high beams for so long."

Pei Mengfei murmured: "Then it's not human..."

Su Jian turned off the high beams, pulled out the car key, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.After a while, Qi Jun and Jin Yi opened the car door and jumped out of the car, rustling and busy with something behind the car.

Luo Wenxiu could only hear the sound, but couldn't see what they were doing. After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't help opening the car door and said, "I'll go over and see if I need help."

"Are you okay? Weren't you still afraid just now?" Pei Mengfei said, put the half-eaten dry instant noodles beside the seat, and opened the co-pilot's door to go out. "Luo Ye, prepare your radio and sensor equipment in the car, and be ready to monitor suspicious echoes around you at any time."

Luo Ye responded, took out his notebook and started busy.

Qi Jun and Jin Yi were sorting out the necessary supplies by the trunk of the car in front, and were going to walk there to see what happened.Su Jian leaned on the front of the car, staring in that direction without moving.

Luo Wenxiu stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"

Su Jian said: "This thing doesn't look like it's alive, and I don't know when it started standing there... I went over to have a look, and Qi Jun and Jin Yi surrounded me from the side. Is it a ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost? Let's talk about it after we take it down." .”

Luo Wenxiu: "Okay, I'll go with you and take care of things."

Su Jian looked back at him in surprise, and saw Luo Wenxiu added another sentence: "I won the first prize in the martial arts competition, so it's absolutely fine if the opponent is human."

Su Jian smiled, bent down and pulled out a spare short gun from the gap between her boots and trouser legs, and handed it to Luo Wenxiu, "You should have practiced shooting in the police school, right? Bullets are special, and they are designed to fight all kinds of demons and ghosts."

Luo Wenxiu's hands sank, and he didn't have time to think about how Su Jian passed the train security check with this thing.Behind him, Jin Yi and Qi Jun were ready and walked over, signaling to Su Jian that they could set off.

Pei Mengfei gestured "OK" to Luo Ye and Su Jian respectively, only to hear Su Jian say: "Everyone put on your headset, adjust the volume, and keep in touch at any time—by the way, old fox, you have good night vision , find a high place to keep an eye on the surroundings for us, and notify in time if there is any movement."

"understood."

Pei Mengfei responded, and everyone got ready.Qi Jun and Jin Yi quickly dodged into the grass to outflank them, while Su Jian and Luo Wenxiu walked across the main road one after the other.

The fallen leaves on the bottom of the feet made a crisp sound with every step, which was especially harsh in the silent night.

Luo Wenxiu followed Su Jian's side and rear, paying attention to the movement in front and the situation behind.Pei Mengfei disappeared as soon as he turned his head. He was hiding somewhere to observe the whole situation.

Su Jian stopped less than ten meters away from that "person". His breath was so light that Luo Wenxiu could hardly hear his breathing.

Pei Mengfei's voice came from the wireless headset at the right time, "The target hasn't moved. Lao Qi and Brother Jin are located about ten steps away from the bushes on both sides of the director. They can prepare for a surprise attack."

Su Jian: "Got it."

After the words fell, he raised his legs and stepped forward, approaching that "person" step by step.

Luo Wenxiu pulled the trigger with his finger and followed closely. It was not the first time he had experienced this kind of arrest mission in the criminal investigation department.It's just that so far I still don't know the details of the other party, and I don't even know if the other party is human.

He muttered words silently with his lips, and recited the magic guide that he had learned by himself a while ago.

I don't know when Su Jian accidentally recited the sound and was discovered by Su Jian, but Su Jian lowered her head and chuckled, "Temporarily hugging Buddha's feet?"

Luo Wenxiu didn't admit it: "...it's just preparation in advance."

Just as Luo Wenxiu finished speaking, Qi Jun's voice in the headset said quietly: "I recited the second sentence of the fourth paragraph wrong."

Luo Wenxiu: "..."

Su Jian smiled and said nothing, he suddenly straightened up and took a few steps, and at the same time swept out the trembling stick that he grabbed in the air.I saw a flash of light, like sparks from a sharp knife cutting a stone, and the "person" remained motionless amidst the flying sparks.

Jin Yi then jumped out from the grass on the side, and stuck the amulet that he had prepared long ago on the body of the "person".As soon as the hand touched it, it felt too cold to the touch, not the temperature that a living thing should have.

After Jin Yi finished pasting the talisman, the second he calmed down, he took a closer look at the true face of this thing.

"It's a human-shaped stone." He breathed a sigh of relief, "We were tricked by it."

"Stone?" Su Jian was unexpected. He turned around and asked Qi Jun, "When you were exploring the way just now, was this ghost thing here?"

"Absolutely not." Qi Jun said: "We are not blind, so we can't see this thing in the middle of the road? It must have appeared here after dark."

Luo Wenxiu said: "Whoever moves stones here after dark, unless it walks over by itself."

As soon as the words fell, the stone man made a "click" sound and shook in place.The ground under his feet seemed to be pierced by something, and a horizontal mound was raised, pushing the stone man out an arm's length away.

Qi Jun looked back at Luo Wenxiu silently and said, "Have you ever opened your mouth?"

The corner of Luo Wenxiu's mouth twitched, "I can't..."

Jin Yi, who was closest to the stone man, dodged back, and Luo Wenxiu quickly swept his legs on the mound. When the moving mound moved to Jin Yi's side, Jin Yi Yi flew out and threw a talisman on it.

The words on the talisman paper magnified in the air the moment he left his hand, and finally turned into a net covering the mound of dirt.The mound struggled visibly to the naked eye, and then suddenly became irritable in the net.

Su Jian yelled, "Shoot!" At the same time, Luo Wenxiu pulled the trigger, and a bullet accurately shot into the mound.Just hearing a whimper in the mound, the target must have been shot.

Jin Yi lifted the net, but there was nothing inside. He cursed and said, "If you slow down a step, it will burrow into the ground and slip away."

Su Jian turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone and carefully inspected the land around the stone man. There were indeed other traces of being penetrated under the soil, so she said, "This thing should have pushed the stone over."

Luo Wenxiu asked, "What could it be?"

"Pangolins, snakes, rats... can penetrate the mountains and the ground, plus the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, and there are some fake mountain gods to protect them. It's not surprising that there are roadblocks set up by these little demons on the way up the mountain." Su Jian said, "Hey." He let out a sigh and continued: "However, these little guys have worked so hard to move a stone man to scare us, which also proves from the side that this is the correct way to go up the mountain."

"Since there are little demons setting up roadblocks here, it's not safe to spend the night here. Maybe something else will come out at night." Qi Jun said: "It's not far from the entrance of the cave, why not go up and have a look now."

Jin Yi put away the talisman net again, and said unwillingly: "I can't sleep in the car anyway, I agree to go up..."

Before he could finish speaking, the soil under his feet was suddenly bounced up by a powerful force, and the thing under the ground just now rushed up, Jin Yi couldn't stand still and was almost overturned on the spot.

Just as Su Jian was about to make a move, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky.I saw a short figure jumping down from the three-meter-high cliff next to it. The foot that landed happened to step on the pile of soil that was about to be dug up, and the things inside were firmly stepped on the soles of the feet.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his slender arm and poked it into the mound, pulled out a snow-white mole from inside, tied its paws several times and threw it into the pannier on his back.

The snow-white mole squeaked in the basket for a while, and finally stopped after a while.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and Su Jian had time to see the face of the person - the person was only about 1.5 meters tall, and his body looked like a frail child.If it weren't for the fluent movement just now, he would even suspect that this is a lost child who sneaked into the mountain and lost his way.

Qi Jun: "Why is there a child in this mountain?"

Su Jian walked over and asked, "Hey, little brother, what are you doing on this mountain at night?"

The boy raised his head and gave him a cold look, "My grandpa is ill, and I will go to the mountains to collect medicine for him these days."

Su Jian said "Oh", "So it's a herb picker, isn't that a coincidence, you must be familiar with this mountain?"

The boy glanced at the few of them, and then at the two jeeps parked not far behind him, "Are you from the scientific expedition team?"

Su Jian pushed the boat smoothly: "That's right, this is not a cave that was washed out by mudslides on the mountain. We were in charge of the investigation, but when we went up the mountain, it was foggy and lost, and we couldn't find our way until dark."

The boy said with a sullen face, "You want to enter that cave? The cave is very dangerous."

"Don't worry, we are a professional scientific expedition team." Su Jian pointed to the car parked over there, "The car has professional equipment for entering the mountains, as well as dry food and water, why don't you take us for a ride, little brother, As a reward, we will send you off when we go down the mountain. If you encounter bears or wolves in the deep mountains and old forests, it is much better than your bare hands..."

"You didn't understand what I meant." The boy said heavily, "Grandpa said that there is a monster in that cave, and anyone who gets close will be eaten by it."

"A monster?" Qi Jun next to him frowned: "Have you seen it? Or has your grandfather seen it? What kind of thing?"

The boy said: "No one has seen what it looks like. There are thousands of dead animals in the cave. The place is cursed. No living things will come and go around there."

Qi Jun asked: "Have you ever entered a cave?"

"No."

"Then how do you know it's full of dead bodies?"

"...The adults who entered the mountain a few days ago said so."

The boy gritted his teeth, Su Jian only thought it was funny looking at him.I thought that after all, I was a simple-minded child, and I couldn't even tell a lie, so I exposed myself completely in a short while.

Su Jian asked: "Didn't you say that no living things can approach this place? If I'm not mistaken, this place is very close to the cave, right? Why are you here?"

"I……"

Su Jian's eyes were fixed on the boy, so that there was no way to avoid his gaze, "I guess you are curious and want to go and have a look?"

The boy froze for a moment, then lowered his head to avoid Su Jian's gaze.

Su Jian's condescending questioning has an unavoidable sense of oppression, and any lies in front of him will have nowhere to escape.

Su Jian smacked her lips: "What? I guessed it right?"
