The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

After the wildfire broke out, the government responded very quickly. In fact, because of the ghost tomb incident recently, there have been patrols near Lanqiong Mountain. When the fire was detected, a group of firefighters put out the fire in time.

However, as soon as they entered the mountain with fire-fighting equipment, they realized something was wrong.

The intensity of the fire was much weaker than expected. Only a small part of the fire that shot straight into the sky was real flames, while the rest were phantoms without any heat.

The fire brigade discovered a strange village where the fire was brightest. They were all locals, and they were sure and certain that there had never been a village here before!

Two-thirds of the buildings in this strange village have been destroyed, but they were not burned by fire, but corroded by something.

The village is empty and seems to be just a deserted village, but if you look closely, you can see traces of recent human activity.

Where have all the villagers gone?

The sudden situation at the scene was vaguely weird, completely beyond the expectations of the fire officers and soldiers, but they did not think too much. Putting out the wildfire was more important. Since the fire was not big, it took a night to bring the fire under control. .

When they further searched the strange mountain village, they discovered something even more horrifying, and hurriedly notified the criminal department.

The next day, before dawn, the police rushed to the scene.

"The wildfire was extinguished so quickly?" A certain detective named Zhou had a look of surprise on his face. "I saw that the fire last night was so powerful that half of the sky turned red."

"This is a good thing. Why are you so surprised?" Female detective Lin honked the horn, and the vehicles on the road gave way before they drove up.

"Comrades from the criminal investigation team, you are finally here." The captain of the fire brigade hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, so we're a little late." Detective Lin said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter." The fire chief shook his head. No matter how late he came, the responsibility was not his, so of course he was not in a hurry.

"When we were searching for fire victims in this village, we discovered some unusual conditions. Please follow me." The fire captain led the detectives to the other side of the village.

The detective observed the environment as he walked. This strange village was in a mess. Most of the buildings were corroded into ruins, but there were no traces of flames.

Everyone walked to the ruins of an ancient house. A cordon had been set up on the scene. Looking at the stiff expressions of the firefighters on the side, the detective's heart skipped a beat.

The fire chief lowered his voice and said: "We have found many bodies, most of which are in dilapidated condition. We are still unable to determine the identity of the deceased."

Detective Lin did not expect this to be the case. She quickly asked: "Is the deceased a local villager?"

"It's impossible to say for sure, and the village itself is very strange," the fire chief said.

"I checked before. There is no record of this village at all. It seems to have appeared out of thin air." Detective Zhou added on the side.

This is strange.

"When the fire broke out, the forest ranger did not contact the fire brigade, and the whereabouts of the ranger have not been found until now," the fire chief added.

Detective Lin asked: "Is there any way to determine the identity of the deceased?"

"We can't do that for the time being. These corpses are too mutilated. We have to wait until the staff of the technical department conduct an inspection." Detective Zhou slowly squatted down and looked at the corpses with a strange look on his face.

"Strange, they all have signs of being bound, and their heads are broken..."

This sentence made Detective Lin raise his eyebrows, "I'm afraid this is no ordinary case."

Detective Zhou also had a wry smile on his face, "In the mountain village that was not recorded, there were more than twenty tragic corpses. Could this case be related to supernatural beings?"

He lit a cigarette, puffed out smoke, and recalled a supernatural murder case that he had accidentally come into contact with before. It was a very tragic case, and it was also an unsolved case. It happened in a high school, and many students committed suicide by jumping off the building collectively. , the police searched again and again, and only found out that the first deceased jumped from the building due to school bullying, and the subsequent jumpers were all people who participated in the bullying.

The case was eventually handed over to the special department. It was only claimed that the case was due to excessive study pressure, but the specific circumstances were unclear.

After investigating the scene for a long time, the police took away all the key items and returned to the police station. Detective Zhou took a sip of strong tea and could see that he was a little haggard, with dry skin and two dark circles under his eyes.

"There's a new discovery!" Detective Lin pushed the door open and entered in a hurry.

Detective Zhou put the tea cup on the table with an envious look on his face. The young man was full of energy.

Detective Lin sat down on the chair, holding a document in his hand and handed it to Detective Zhou for review.

"The search of the crime scene is continuing. After careful identification, the police found some daily necessities that are not used by mountain village residents."

"What?" Detective Zhou looked up.

"We found many camping supplies such as tents, solid alcohol, mountaineering bags, etc. in a room. Obviously the locals don't have access to these things." Detective Lin said unhurriedly: "Those who died were probably tourists. , I plan to follow these clues to investigate the disappearances in nearby tourist attractions."

When Detective Zhou heard this, his face suddenly darkened. Under the current situation, he subconsciously thought that the village was a criminal den, growing opium, buying and selling people or organs, and was discovered by outsiders due to wildfires. So they killed and silenced them and moved their base directly.

These speculations of his are unreliable and lack sufficient evidence to support them. But if his guess can be confirmed, this will definitely be a sensational case!

In addition to the dead in the unknown mountain village, the wildfire itself was also very strange. Information about the wildfire has been blocked, and traffic near Lanqiong Mountain has also been restricted. And in accordance with official requirements, the media departments all shut up.

Recent disappearances in the area around Lanqiong Mountain are not difficult to investigate.

"First of all, there is a young woman named Ning Yun who is suspected of being mysteriously missing in Lanqiong Mountain." Detective Lin said slowly: "There is also a couple, the man is Song Tingyu and the woman is Xue Qiang. Both of them are reporters. I haven’t come back since I left the mountain.”

"Secondly, there is an archaeological team inspecting a tomb nearby. The team is led by a professor named Zhang. However, this team has been out of contact for several days. In addition, there are some tourists who entered I left the mountain and never came back.”

Detective Lin became angrier as he spoke, slamming the documents on the table, "The number of disappearances taken together is simply shocking. The most frightening thing is that the police didn't pay enough attention to it!"

Detective Zhou sighed. Missing cases were more difficult to handle than homicide cases. With limited police resources, missing cases would naturally not be taken seriously.

"It's really a headache." Detective Zhou was not as indignant as Detective Lin. He was just sad that he would encounter such a huge case during his tenure.

"So many people have been missing in succession, yet no news has come out at all." Detective Lin couldn't let go. This was already a major dereliction of duty by the police.

"There is nothing we can do about it. In quite a few disappearance cases, the person involved disappears for a few days and then comes back. The public security organs can only file a case first and send people to find out the situation. In the end, if there are no clues, the person involved keeps disappearing. Only after contacting the police can the police choose to follow up the investigation." Detective Zhou came up from the bottom step by step. He knew very well that the grassroots police force was insufficient and their professional ability was average, so he said this.

"It's all about shirking responsibility! If the police don't make decisions for the people, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes! This kind of disregard of duties and the safety of people's lives and property will definitely be recorded with a major demerit!" Detective Lin was still angry.

Detective Zhou smiled helplessly. The police didn't pay much attention to things like missing persons or even bothered to investigate. Usually there would be no problem, but once it was linked to some major events, something would happen. A big demerit would be considered a minor one.

Looking at Detective Lin's expression, Lao Zhou sneered slightly in his heart. Many young police officers were like this, and they couldn't have any sand in their eyes.

"The most suspicious thing at present is a B\u0026B called 'Yizhuang'. The archaeological team and two reporters among the missing people all stayed in Yizhuang." Detective Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe these two The gang disappeared at the same time.”

"Yizhuang must be investigated, and all relevant persons in charge are in custody." Detective Zhou looked cautious. The situation is very complicated. Now that all the clues of the disappearance case are connected, it may form a quite sensational situation with wide implications.

As soon as he called and issued this order, he received a reply in less than half a minute: "The entire Yizhuang employees, including the boss himself, have evaporated and disappeared."

"Aren't you kidding?" Lao Zhou and Xiao Lin looked at each other with surprised and uncertain expressions.

"No kidding, they just disappeared suddenly. According to the investigation, when the wildfire broke out last night, the boss said he was afraid of being burned by the wildfire and drove away all the tourists staying. Today, there is no one inside."

"Another point is that this Yizhuang has just opened for more than a month, and many procedures are not complete..."

Hearing this, Detective Zhou felt a chill running down his spine.

Dong dong dong——

There was a knock on the door, and a police officer informed: "Go to the conference room for a meeting immediately!"

In the conference room, the leader presiding over the meeting had a serious look on his face: "To make a long story short, colleagues from the fire and special police departments were previously conducting fire follow-up processing and search and rescue work on a nearby mountain. As a result, an accident just occurred. Two people died in the line of duty, and five people were seriously injured. , and ten people were slightly injured. Now we are still unable to determine what exactly attacked them..."

Lao Zhou and Xiao Lin gasped, and everyone else realized that the situation was developing in a worse direction.

Could it be that there is a group of armed bandits hiding in the mountains?

There were no gangsters. The situation at that time was very dangerous. An invisible black shadow attacked the crowd at an extremely fast speed. It was impossible to see who the attacker was.

The leader briefly explained the situation. In the middle of his speech, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open, and someone walked straight in.

No one present could have imagined that someone could be so bold.

"Who are you?" The leader stood up with an angry look on his face, like a raging lion, giving people a feeling of anger and power. This is the territory of the police. Who dares to break in without saying a word? As a leader, he is naturally very angry.

The uninvited guest was not one person, but a group. The leader was a very young man. He looked like a high school student. His face was calm and indifferent. He took out a document directly: "Hello, I am He Ming, affiliated with the National Supernatural Phenomenon. General Control Bureau, this is my certificate. From now on, all cases around Lanqiong Mountain will be handed over to us, and the rest can leave. "

His words were quite rude, and everyone in the meeting room turned red with anger, but they were not fools. People who dared to be so arrogant on such occasions must have unusual backgrounds.

The atmosphere becomes increasingly weird.

He Ming said again: "Although it is a bit rude, this is an order from above. Comrades present, I hope you will cooperate unconditionally. Those whose names I call will stay, and the rest of you can go."

Without waiting for anyone to react, he spoke on his own and indeed read out a few names.

"That's all. Please leave this meeting room immediately." He Ming chased people away for the third time. Those whose names were not called out looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and left one after another.

When the irrelevant people left, He Ming was slightly satisfied and said: "I know you have a lot of questions, but because it involves supernatural events, it must be kept confidential. Next, please cooperate with our actions. No information about this action can be disclosed to the outside world, otherwise you will be held responsible!"

No one refuted.

"Now, immediately mobilize the resident armed police force to control the road. With Lanqiong Mountain as the center, the area within a radius of 100 kilometers will be fully blocked, and no one is allowed to enter it..." He Ming issued the first order.

Block such a large area? Are you kidding?

Obviously not joking, He Ming calmly explained: "This is not an exercise, the next action is an important war related to social order and public safety, there must not be the slightest mistake!"

In the following time, He Ming would listen to or call one hotline after another every five or six minutes on average to communicate with various institutions.

The conference room seemed to have become a temporary command post. This scene was very magical. After all, He Ming looked too young, but he was quite a general, acting calmly, which formed a sharp contrast with his appearance.

With the operation of various departments, all the people who had appeared near Lanqiong Mountain in recent times were investigated one by one, except for two - Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian.

Their traces were covered by the supernatural power. At this moment, the two who escaped from Lanqiong Mountain were sitting side by side in a food stall. Xiaoyu was originally seriously injured, but now he has completely healed. A strange man with a cold face sat opposite them.

Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian were visibly nervous. After all, the man in front of them was their immediate boss, Spade Q!
