◎What does it mean that Huo Wenxi is with her?◎

Near the north wall.

The Abnormal Event Investigation Team temporarily selected 15 people and divided them into three groups to investigate the three suspected gathering places mentioned in the intelligence.

Huo Wenxi is not here, so a large number of demon hunters cannot be called in for support. Moreover, they are only here to explore clues. This is considered an external investigation mission for the special investigation team. If they are in danger, they will immediately notify the headquarters.

Zhuang Lin led the team to the chemical plant. There were five people in his team including himself, and his temporary deputy was named Huang Zongli.

She was the one who found the information about Teacher Qi. She regarded Huo Wenxi as her idol. The entire dissident group was Huo Wenxi's fans. If it weren't for their admiration for Huo Wenxi, ordinary young people would not be able to endure this hardship.

Huang Zongli firmly believed that she was different from others, and she made a lot of efforts for this. She investigated Teacher Qi's case most seriously and did not sleep for three days. This might be a good opportunity for her to make a contribution.

After the car drove out of Area 103, the sky wallpaper disappeared and was replaced by the real sky covered with yellow sand.

Ever since Zhuang Lin learned that the sky is the brain, he always felt that the sky was very strange.

Zhuang Lin drew a "world map" for Huo Wenxi, and then Huo Wenxi disappeared.

Huo Wenxi most likely returned to the Huo family. Zhuang contacted her before the mission, but there was no response.

When meeting with the head of the Huo family alone, communication tools will be confiscated. This is the rule of the Huo family, and Huo Wenxi is no exception.

But Zhuang Lin didn't understand. He was about to find Teacher Qi. As long as he caught the person, even if Teacher Qi didn't confess, he could use a mind reader or interrogate someone with special abilities to let Huo Wenxi know the truth. So why did he have to go back to the Huo family?

Even if he couldn't catch the person and let Teacher Qi escape, Huo Wenxi could still conduct further investigation based on clues.

Moreover, Huo Wenxi even handed over the investigation task at hand and directly let Zhuang Lin take over, which is very rare for a workaholic.

What is the relationship between Sky Brain and the Huo family?

Or maybe Huo Wenxi just wanted to take a shortcut and didn't want to spend time investigating, so it would be easier to just ask the head of the family.

Huo Wenxi was once the future heir of the Huo family, but she first betrayed the Huo family and then betrayed the Federation. I hope that the team leader will not be troubled by the old witch and that the two of them can sit down and talk in peace.

Zhuang Lin let his mind wander and the more he thought, the colder it had gotten recently. He wondered if Huo Wenxi had changed into a thick coat before going out. She was so busy that she didn't notice the weather changes. She wore random clothes every day and had a bit of an idol image. She didn't show it when she was cold and only said she was frozen to death when she got home.

Zhuang Lin has been Huo Wenxi's bodyguard since he was a child. Team Leader Huo has no attacking abilities, and he always worries about Huo Wenxi's safety when he's away for too long.

What if something happens to the little witch before entering the Huo family?

Huang Zongli was still looking at the files, as if she was about to hand in her exam paper, checking for any remaining errors and about to go on a field survey.

Huang Zongli noticed that Zhuang Lin was very silent and kept looking at the sky. She asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhuang Lin: "There are clouds in the sky."

Huang Zongli looked out the window because of this sentence. There were indeed clouds in the sky, which are professionally called fish scale clouds.

The weather is really weird. If the yellow sky is a sandstorm, clouds of this shape would not appear at all.

The clouds are like fish scales and very light in color. Against the backdrop of the dim sky, they give people a bit of claustrophobia, as they look like a monster shaped like densely packed fish scales.

Zhuang Lin asked, "Do you think the pattern looks like a brain?"

The other team members also became interested when they heard this. They were originally holding weapons in their hands, but now they couldn't help but start observing the clouds.

Observing clouds seems to be a habit humans have had since ancient times. On the way home from get off work, while waiting for a red light, I'd look up and say to my colleagues, "The clouds are so beautiful today. Does that one look like a puppy?"

It is also very popular on the Internet to forward auspicious clouds, Bodhisattva shapes, and ingot shapes.

But it’s rare to hear the metaphor of clouds being like the brain. It’s too weird and sounds uncomfortable.

"Don't you think so?" someone said.

"I think so. Zhuangzhu, are you talking about a cross-section of the brain, or the circuitry of the brain?"

"How did you come up with this idea?" Huang Zongli asked.

"Have you ever eaten pig brains? Look at it this way." The teammate said excitedly.

Huang Zongli looked at it from top to bottom, and I didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if it was real. Before, she looked like fish-scale clouds, but now she looks like a piece of brain matter.

The sky is the brain? What a strange speculation!

Huang Zongli instinctively wanted to reject this statement, even a little too much, but the impression lingered in her mind.

Huang Zongli looked for a while and soon arrived at the mission location.

This area is full of ruins, and most of the buildings are still products of the old world. When the Federation was first established, this area was regarded as a buffer zone and no effort was made to build it.

There is no water or electricity in this area, and it is pitch black when night falls. The flying car is completely invisible. According to the positioning, there is an abandoned chemical plant below, which is one of Teacher Qi's "nests".

The car stopped three blocks away and entered stealth mode. The inspector got out first and scanned the area with an instrument. The bee-sized reconnaissance aircraft dispersed. After three minutes, he said, "There are no surveillance equipment, and no one else."

The picture shows an abandoned chemical plant. The place seems to have been abandoned for a long time and there is no trace of human life. This makes Huang Zongli suspect that this may be a trap and Teacher Qi is not there at all.

The inspectors adjusted the channel. They had brought a device with them, fearing the factory would lose signal, but they discovered they were redundant. "The channel is fine, there's no source of signal interference."

Another reported: "No contaminants detected so far."

A clear voice came from the public channel, "The technical department is operating normally. I will always be your support."

The technician blew a whistle, and if the team encountered danger, they could call for help immediately. Their internal authority was opened, and they could urgently dispatch demon hunters for support.

Everything here is normal, the signal is normal, the pollution concentration is normal. Huang Zongli listened to the report while looking into the distance. She could see the north wall not far away. It was so tall that it seemed like it was about to press down.

Huang Zongli had an inexplicable bad feeling, and she couldn't explain it. She suddenly said, "Don't rush in. I feel like there's danger."

"Huh?" a teammate joked, "You have an intuition ability?"

Huang Zongli was not very happy, but she couldn't refute it. Yes, she was not Huo Wenxi, so where did her intuition come from?

Huang Zongli shook her head. It was not auspicious to think about these things while on a mission. Every external mission was dangerous.

Teammate: "Give Team Leader Huo a surprise."

Huang Zongli stepped forward and bumped fists with the team members, as if to encourage herself: "Let's do something big."

Zhuang Lin: "The rest of you, maintain formation and approach the factory in groups of two. Report any abnormalities immediately."

A teammate asked, “What about you?”

Zhuang Lin: "I'll go in and take a look first. Keep in touch."

He debugged it and confirmed that there was a signal. The other three groups had already arrived at the destination and were conducting on-site surveys.

Zhuang Lin has a special ability and was often sent by Huo Wenxi to look for clues, similar to a "flash mob".

His figure flashed on the spot, and others only saw a shadow. In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Lin disappeared.

…

The factory gate was wide open, and it looked completely deserted, not even worried about homeless people living there.

As soon as Zhuang Lin entered the door, he knew that he had come to the right place. There was no dust on the floor, which proved that it had not been abandoned for many years and someone had used it not long ago.

Even if we can't find Teacher Qi, it would be fine if we could find a little clue.

There were a lot of discarded needles inside the chemical plant, which should be nutrient injection needles, and some might be black dreams. There were a few sleeping bags scattered in the distance. Zhuang Lin was wearing all black and walking in the dark without making any sound.

He carefully walked around the garbage and walked forward to a large area of ​​cushions. Someone had listened to lectures here before. Cults are all very similar. Zhuang Lin's first reaction was that the Pilgrims' organization was quite poor.

It probably targets people from the lower classes, and the chemical plant is almost a refugee shelter.

Suddenly, Zhuang Lin tripped over something and stumbled. He quickly regained his balance but hit the glass syringe on the ground, making a clanging sound in the dark.

Zhuang Lin's throat rolled, he swallowed and said it was impossible not to be afraid.

He had already clenched his weapon and was waiting there motionless. There was silence all around him. He was scaring himself. There was no one around.

Zhuang Lin moved his feet and looked at the thing that had tripped him. It was an electric wire.

There is indeed power supply inside the factory, and the wires mean there is a generator. For this kind of organization, the generator is a core equipment and must be properly placed.

Zhuang Lin followed the electric wires. He knew there must be other rooms below.

He didn't turn on the lights, relying on the night vision of his helmet to see things, like a pigeon following breadcrumbs.

The electric wire was like a snake lurking in the darkness. Zhuang Lin carefully opened a narrow door and walked down the stairs, as if he had forgotten time. The electric wire was the only target in front of him.

Suddenly, a light flickered in front of my eyes, tearing through the darkness, even a little cruel.

Zhuang Lin stopped and suddenly had an urge to run away. He didn't need intuition to know that there was danger ahead.

He was like a mouse that smelled the cheese and saw the bait in the middle of the mousetrap, but was simply reluctant to leave.

Zhuang Lin's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he only realized the terror later when he heard the sound of people talking.

"Wait a little longer, don't be anxious." It was a woman's voice, a little old, but the tone was very flat. Zhuang Lin guessed that she might be Teacher Qi.

"Why aren't you anxious? I've told you many times that she has already found a way to get out of the relationship!" The person who answered her was a man. Zhuang Lin guessed that this was another "male teacher".

"You weren't there that day, so you don't know how arrogant she was. She moved the team over and took pictures from every angle."

"She'll definitely find out about this place soon. This place isn't safe anymore. When I think about it, we've left too many mistakes and omissions."

Teacher Qi said calmly, "In life, it's inevitable to make mistakes."

"I can't wait any longer. The longer we delay, the more trouble will happen." The male teacher's tone became more and more intense.

"The old witch contacted me." Teacher Qi interrupted him and asked him to calm down.

The male teacher was still restless and was not comforted.

Teacher Qi's tone remained calm: "Huo Wenxi is with her. No matter how capable the young witch is, she has to listen to the old witch."

Zhuang Lin broke out in a cold sweat. If he was still hesitating whether to leave before, now Zhuang Lin completely gave up the idea.

What does it mean that Huo Wenxi is with her?

This conversation contained too much information and there was no context, so Zhuang Lin didn't actually understand it, but he got a message.

Teacher Qi has connections with the Huo family. Huo Wenxi guessed this intuitively, so he rushed home directly?

Zhuang Lin's face was pale. There was a rustling sound coming from the corner, and the light was shaking a little, as if someone stood up and blocked the light source for a moment.

Teacher Qi hissed, "The mouse is coming in."

…

Huo family.

The Huo family's main residence is not in the Kingdom of God, but in the fourth district.

The Huo family has a very special historical status. They founded the cleaning center and participated in the construction of the federation. There are many people with special abilities in the family. They should be sixth-class citizens, but they enjoy the treatment of first-class citizens.

This country's citizen hierarchy has always been aimed at ordinary people, and the real privileges are not involved in the classification at all.

The Huo family is low-key in this respect. They rarely show up and do not want to attract attention. There is very little information about the Huo family, and only some urban legends remain.

People with special abilities need to wear a "collar" when entering the Kingdom of God. People with special abilities are pollutants, and they are afraid of losing control in the Kingdom of God.

Many people with special abilities are unruly and unwilling to wear it, but Huo Jinsheng wears it every time she goes to the Kingdom of God. However, the "necklace" she wears is more concealed. Huo Wenxi knows that it is a jade bracelet that looks very valuable.

Huo Wenxi might be too arrogant. He never understood since childhood why Huo Jinsheng, a person with superpowers, was so much more powerful than the weak people of the Divine Country, and why he was willing to bow his head to give face to the Divine Country. Since he knew that the sky was a pollutant in the brain, he began to understand a little.

Even the sky is polluted, humans have nowhere to escape, and all reconnaissance and purification are meaningless. The only way is to evolve a species that is more adaptable to this world.

Huo Wenxi's communication device was confiscated. She knew that entering the Huo family's gate was equivalent to losing her freedom, but she had to come because some secrets could not be discovered at all. They were hidden in various families and only the old witch knew them.

She was very surprised that Huo Jinsheng was willing to see her so soon. She thought she would have to wait a few more days.

Huo Wenxi still felt uncomfortable walking into the main house. It was a garden-style building, as if the Huo family had always lived in the past. Many Tai Chi and Bagua pattern decorations were retained, as were the floor tiles in the courtyard and the Bagua mirror on the door. It made people feel like a goblin walking in with nowhere to hide.

Someone was leading the way in front, and Huo Wenxi followed behind. He slowly stopped and looked up at the sky with his good eye.

The sky wallpaper is a blue sky with white clouds, which is a bit too fake and there is not even a flaw.

Looking into the past from the retro patio is like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

For some reason, Huo Wenxi suddenly wanted to look in the direction of Area 103.
