Although such things have gradually been accepted by everyone since the appearance of the Apostles of the Secret Realm, watching a person being killed and turned into a mummy is a shock that not everyone can accept.
For a time, this incident began to go viral on the Internet, especially the last few seconds of the video, which started with the tombstone shaking, until the anchor ran away in fear, and was finally attacked by a ghost and turned into a mummy.
In just a few seconds, the download volume exceeded six million, and as time went on, it was spreading on the Internet at an even more astonishing speed.
However, the housekeeper acted quickly and imposed restrictions on the Internet. However, the incident spread in Songtao City, and some people even called the police directly.
The police only took a brief look at the situation and then handed the case over to the City Defense Office. This was obviously a supernatural case, and ordinary police had neither the right nor the ability to investigate it.
In the end, this matter was assigned to He Bing's Sixth Combat Team. After all, this team had Xu Feng, a Taoist priest who was the nemesis of undead ghosts.
Xu Feng had performed very well in dealing with the ghost puppet master before. He used a talisman to suppress the ghost puppet master's natal zombie. Otherwise, their team might have been wiped out.
Sirengou is more than ten kilometers away from the nearest village or town in Songtao City. Originally, there was a small village nearby with about dozens of people. But at some point, the village became deserted. The old people died, and the young people didn't want to live in such a faraway village, so they all ran to live in the city. Over time, the small village disappeared completely.
On this day, a few more people appeared in this small village that had long been deserted. He Bing and his group of five slowly moved towards the small village.
"Captain, I heard from the old people that this Xiaowang Village is haunted. I wonder if it's true!" A young man looked around nervously and said in a low voice.
The man's name was Wei Jian. He was a trainee newly assigned to the City Defense Office, a first-level apostle, a C-level initial professional archer, and the weapon he used was a modern industrially produced compound crossbow.
This crossbow is much slower to reload than a regular bow, but it has a longer range, greater lethality, and is equipped with a scope for greater accuracy.
Because Wang Jun rebelled and was killed, He Bing's team became increasingly short-staffed. Including Xu Feng, there were only four people left. Moreover, Qian Li was still in the hospital for observation. He needed to rest for at least a week after being discharged before he could work normally, so two more people were assigned to him.
One of them is the C-level professional archer Wei Jian, and the other is a girl named Qiao Yushan, a first-level apostle with a relatively rare B-level profession, Tree Shepherd.
Tree shepherds are a branch of the druid profession. They have the ability to eavesdrop on the minds of plants and can even turn certain plants into powerful warriors for them to command. The forest is their home ground, and the Dead Man's Ditch with lush vegetation is also a place with great geographical advantages for tree shepherds.
"There's no one here, it's almost a ghost village, what's going on?" Zhang Chao looked around and turned to He Bing and asked, "Captain, aren't we going to the Dead Man's Ditch? Why are we in Xiaowang Village?"
"Do you know who are buried in the ditch of the dead?" He Bing asked, glancing at Zhang Chao.
"Isn't it the mass graves where the devils massacred people?" Zhang Chao gritted his teeth. Speaking of this, any Chinese person would have a flame in his heart.
"How could that anchorman go that deep? He just reached the edge of the ditch!" He Bing shook his head and said, "Those graves are all people from Xiaowang Village... Are the Japanese so kind that they would build a grave for you after killing someone?"
Zhang Chao stopped talking, and the group quickly entered the village. He Bing waved his hand and divided the group into three groups. Zhang Chao and Wei Jian were in one group, Xu Feng and Qiao Yushan were in another group, and he was the only one in the group. They began to search the entire village to see if they could find any clues.
"Senior, do you think there are ghosts here?" Qiao Yushan looked at the houses around her that were almost becoming ruins, with a nervous look on her face.
At this moment, Qiao Yushan did not have the aura of a senior schoolmate at all. Instead, she was like a little girl. She could not help but take two steps closer to Xu Feng.
"Don't be afraid. This village has been abandoned for more than ten years. Even if there really are ghosts, they would have starved to death long ago!" Xu Feng joked.
Although she knew Xu Feng was joking, Qiao Yushan looked at the quiet abandoned village around her and felt even more scared for some reason.
At this moment, two green ghost lights suddenly floated out from a yard in the distance. Qiao Yushan was frightened and screamed loudly.
After a while, other people came running over here.
He Bing was relieved when he saw that Qiao Yushan and Xu Feng were fine, and asked quickly, "What happened?"
"Yes, there is a ghost!" Qiao Yushan screamed, pointing at the two ghost lights in the middle of the road ahead.
"Captain, there seems to be something wrong!" Xu Feng frowned and said in a low voice.
"It's just two will-o'-the-wisp fires, not some demon or monster!" Wei Jian put down his crossbow and said to Qiao Yushan unhappily, "What's the big deal? Didn't you learn physics in junior high school? It's just the spontaneous combustion of phosphorus..."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Why does phosphorus spontaneously combust?" Xu Feng suddenly asked.
"Because there are exposed corpses that have been exposed to the sun..."
At this time, Wei Jian seemed to have noticed something. He stopped talking and looked towards the small courtyard next to him.
Several people walked towards the courtyard. Perhaps because of the air flow while they were walking, two balls of ghost fire floated towards them. Qiao Yushan turned pale with fright. He Bing waved his hand and dispersed the two balls of ghost fire.
Pushing open the gate, He Bing's face changed drastically. Xu Feng looked into the yard and saw that in the empty yard, there was an altar more than three meters high built with bones.
Among these bones, there are bones of livestock such as cattle and sheep, but most of them are human bones. He Bing took a glance and found that it would take the skeletons of at least a dozen people to build this altar.
"Zhang Chao, Xu Feng, check the surroundings to see if there is anything unusual!" He Bing said seriously, "Wei Jian, take photos and check if there is anything found around the altar. Qiao Yushan, contact the headquarters and report the matter of the bone altar..."
