Yancheng Special Office

At the beginning of the summer vacation, the doors of all primary, middle and primary schools in Yancheng were closed.The sun was shining, and the playground was empty.

Even on weekends, there are significantly fewer people on the street during the day.Apart from staying at home and playing games in air-conditioned rooms, most people spend their summer in places with air-conditioning such as supermarkets and shopping malls.

In addition, there are also many students who use the holidays for practical learning, and the visit rate of popular science education halls and museums is extremely high.From the opening to the closing of the museum, there are many tourists throughout the day. It will not be a little free until 04:30 in the afternoon, when a sign to stop entering is erected at the entrance.

Located in the Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan, the security inspector who had been busy all day slipped to the toilet during the break, and chatted with his colleagues for a while when he came back.No one noticed that a man at the door sneaked into the museum while there was no one around.

This person looked ordinary, and he seemed to be invisible all the way when he came in. Not only did all the staff around him not notice his existence, even the machine didn't make any sound when passing through the security check system.

He swaggered into the museum like this, and then flashed into an unlocked utility room.After all the tourists had left, the cleaning staff wiped the glass and turned off all the lights in the exhibition hall, and the surroundings finally fell into a deathly silence.

After a long time, the door of the utility room was pushed open with a "creak", and the man who had sneaked into the museum came out quietly.He looked around, and after confirming that there was no one in the exhibition hall, he walked to the center of the exhibition hall. In the giant glass display stand in front of him was the treasure of the entire Sanxingdui Museum - the Bronze Sacred Tree of Shang.

This bronze tree is about four meters high. The base is shaped like three connected mountains. The trunk and branches are divided into three layers. There are nine bronze birds standing on the fruit in the whole tree.

The bronze tree is known as a vivid portrayal of the ancient ancestors' connection between heaven and earth and the intercommunication between humans and gods.The man stood quietly in front of the bronze sacred tree, surrounded by the faint light of the emergency exit indicator light with reverence, and finally he stopped, his eyes resting on one of the bronze birds.

Then he suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to grab the bird.The moment his hand touched the glass, it passed through as if it had no substance, and went straight to grab the bronze bird squatting on the branch.

It seemed that with just such a gentle pinch, the bronze bird was broken off and held in the palm of the man's hand.The bronze bird's eyes rolled, and it suddenly came alive and turned into a live black bird.The bird fluttered its wings a few times, finally broke free from the palm of its hand, and landed on the man's shoulder.

The man said quietly: "Gu Diao, you hide really well. You squat in this museum and are admired by thousands of people every day. If I don't come to you, how long do you plan to hide?"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what you want." The bird suddenly said, but the voice was a deep human voice, "Xing Ye, I heard that you are recruiting monster races in the human world, do you really want to rely on your own strength? Force breaking?"

Xing Ye saw through it at a glance, and then showed his original form: "You think highly of me, how can I have that ability? I just borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and find someone to help me break the seal."

The black bird named Gu Diao said: "That ordinary human being reincarnated with Yao Huang's spiritual knowledge? Do you really think he can complete it?"

"I found a lot of demons to stimulate his sealed spiritual consciousness. Everything was within my plan, but I didn't expect that there would be an extra Si Yuan in the middle. That guy was so annoying, he disrupted my plan several times. I can’t wait to find a way to give them a push.”

Xing Ye turned around and strode towards the back door of the museum. Gu Diao squatted on his shoulders, and couldn't help flapping its wings several times to maintain its balance.Xing Ye found the back entrance of the museum in the dark, went straight through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, walked through the empty square all the way, and finally arrived near the Sanxingdui ruins.

This is an archaeological excavation area that is not open to the public, surrounded by iron gates.But this was not an obstacle for Xing Ye at all, he jumped over the iron gate with a light leap, and landed silently, surrounded by an even more spacious silence.

Only the endless sounds of insects and frogs one after another, nothing else.

The iron gate is the real Sanxingdui site. Although most of the valuable collections have been unearthed, many unearthed tunnels still retain their original structure and layout.While walking, it seems that you can hear the rustling of the ground under your feet.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Diao said, "I don't like the smell here, it really stinks."

"What you smell is the smell of corpses. There are many well-preserved ancient corpses buried here. But it's too deep. These stupid anthropologists haven't dug that layer yet." Xing Ye said excitedly: "They are all real ancient corpses. They were buried in ancient times. It took me a long time to find such a place."

"What do you want those ancient corpses for?" Gu Diao said vigilantly, "Don't tell me you want to dig them out one by one."

"Do I look like such a boring person?" Xing Ye waved his hands and said, "You know that the bronze tree represents the Fusang, right? The Fusang can connect Yin and Yang and reach the Three Realms. The tree in the museum is just a cover, the real one The passage to the Three Realms is underground where the bronze tree is buried."

Xing Ye jumped into the tunnel and approached the central area step by step by relying on the surrounding magnetic field perception.Finally he stopped on an open level ground and bent down to put his ears to the ground.

There were rustling sounds from the ground, as if countless people were talking, the language was so obscure that it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

But Xing Ye didn't care, he just needed to make sure that this was the place he was looking for.

It had just rained in the evening, and the ground was wet and there was still a lot of water.Xing Ye found a sealed glass bottle from his carry-on items, which contained a small piece of red liquid.

The liquid hung on the bottle as if it had frozen long ago. Xing Ye carefully opened the bottle cap, and then found a puddle to put the bottle in.

The stagnant water seeps in, and the red liquid immediately melts when it meets the water, and slowly spreads out along with the stagnant water.Then those wisps of red kept drilling into the ground as if they were alive, and after a while, the ground shook slightly, just like a newborn heartbeat, and the ground under their feet came alive.

Those rustling noises stopped suddenly, then erupted in an instant, the sound became louder and closer to the surface.Countless souls scrambled to get out of the ground, and they all approached the places stained with red liquid.

Those souls from ancient times seemed to be inspired, and began to crazily bite the land stained with red liquid.Gu Diao felt the fear that he had never felt before, and couldn't help but curled up on Xing Ye's shoulders and tremblingly said: "What the hell did you pour into the water, it's too scary."

"It's Luo Wenxiu's blood." Xing Ye retreated to the side, contentedly watching the frenzied appearance of those souls who had tasted the sweetness. "The temptation to unblock is too great. I can drive these souls crazy with just a slight push. It will be up to them next."

Just after midnight, Luo Wenxiu suddenly woke up from his dream.

He got up and looked out the window, it was still dark, and there were only a few sporadic lights left on the opposite building.The room was quiet and there was no sound at all.

Luo Wenxiu found that his back was completely wet.He dreamed of those voices calling his name again. What was different was that today these voices were incomparably clear, as if those voices finally found him in the vast world.

The dream is still a chaotic darkness, but those wet and cold touches are extremely real.Those cold hands climbed onto his shoulders, arms, and even stayed on his chest.The sharp claws gently pierce the flesh, trying to find the most suitable position to dig out his heart...

His chest still seemed to be aching. Luo Wenxiu turned on the desk lamp, unbuttoned his pajamas, and his scalp felt numb as soon as he lowered his head—he really had five small wounds on his chest, which happened to be the palm of a hand with sharp nails Just the right size to cut it out.

Luo Wenxiu rubbed his temples and forced himself to calm down.Then he took out a pistol from the bedside table and held it tightly in his hand, got out of bed and checked the whole house carefully, not missing any corners - including under the bed and in the closet.

The house was clean, and the doors and windows showed no signs of being pried open. Indeed, there was no one there.

The thing that harmed him did not come from the human world. Luo Wenxiu leaned against the head of the bed, not daring to sleep any longer.

After dawn, Luo Wenxiu came to the unit early and met Jin Yi who had just finished the night shift.When the two came together, Jin Yi said with a blank expression, "Hey, didn't you two go to work together today?"

Luo Wenxiu ignored him, and asked solemnly: "I called Director Su and no one answered, have you seen him today?"

"He came in the morning and went to the bureau with Luo Ye's report." Jin Yi saw that he seemed to be in a hurry, so he added, "I guess I went to find Vice Minister Bai. If you are in a hurry, why don't you call Vice Minister Bai?" Call the minister's office and ask."

Luo Wenxiu said "Thank you", turned around and returned to the car, kicked the accelerator and drove into the station.

On Monday mornings, departmental meetings were extraordinarily long.Su Jian leisurely drank two cups of tea on the sofa in Bai Yan's office, and finally waited for Bai Yan to come after the meeting.

However, it was too late to say what should be said, and there were still a few people behind Bai Yan who were waiting to report the situation and ask him to sign.After this busy period was over, Bai Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his tie and said, "What did Director Su want from me early in the morning?"

Su Jian handed the materials Luo Ye had written over the weekend to Bai Yan: "Looking at the country music festival's final report, I'll file it for you."

Bai Yan frowned and said: "The Ministry of Public Security has cooperated with the investigation of the stampede at the music festival. How could it have something to do with you? Is it a case transferred from the bureau? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Su Jian shook her head and said: "That's not true, it's not that Qi Jun just happened to go to the music festival and happened to bump into the whole process. And the incident happened suddenly, so we directly participated in the investigation. A demon was involved behind the incident, so I asked Luo Ye to type up a report in the usual format."

Bai Yan took the file bag, and opened the envelope in front of Su Jian. Inside was a case review material with detailed facts.Bai Yan took a rough look, then put down the material and said, "You come to deliver it yourself, there should be other things, let's talk about it."

"Oh, that's right, I just want to ask you... What method did you have in the fairy world at that time to strip the spiritual consciousness of the gods? ..."
