“Yes… yes.”

Brother Hu nodded with difficulty, his eyes full of sadness and tears about to burst out.

He and Liu Jun are from the same hometown and have studied and played together since childhood.

After graduation, the two worked as colleagues in the same group for more than ten years. They were childhood friends, but they were no different from close brothers.

"How could this happen? What happened?"

Although the matter was a bit sudden, Zhang Fan felt that Brother Hu would not lie to him, and it was impossible for him to lie to him with such a thing.

After accepting the fact, Zhang Fan calmly inquired about what happened.

"Brother Zhang Fan, you haven't watched the news today, right?"

Brother Hu asked back and continued:

"Since last night, there have been more than thirty supernatural incidents in South City."

"The bureau was busy all night, but only managed to solve five cases."

"Fortunately, with your Changhong Funeral Service branch here, there weren't too many casualties."

"Liu Jun and Xiao Hui have the tools to deal with the weird guys, and they have been on the front line."

"Early this morning, two people were killed in the abandoned parking lot in the East District. Their bodies have not been found yet."

"The body hasn't been found yet?"

Zhang Fan frowned slightly, with some guesses in mind, and asked directly:

"Is the parking lot dangerous and complicated? Are you unable to get in?"

"That's right." Brother Hu nodded and said, "We thought the situation would be better after daybreak, but until now, we still can't get in, so I came to find you."

"I can't get in..." Zhang Fan looked thoughtful and said hesitantly: "Brother Hu, if that's the case, then... is it possible that Brother Liu and his apprentice are still alive?"

"It's impossible... I saw it with my own eyes, Liu Jun... Liu Jun."

Brother Hu said with red eyes: "Liu Jun... was torn in half alive, and Li Shaohui... had his blood drained out!"

After saying this, Brother Hu's whole body twitched, his eyes turned red, and tears flowed unconsciously.

A night of exhaustion, coupled with the bad news, almost made him fall to the ground.

Similarly, this news was also very sudden for Zhang Fan.

Although he and Liu Jun are not very close, he is one of the few friends he has in this world.

After calming down, Zhang Fan slowly said:

"Brother Hu, don't worry. Tell me what happened in detail. I'll see if there's any hope."

"good."

Brother Hu nodded slowly and walked into the store with the help of Zhang Fan.

"Brother Zhang Fan, please let me relax for a while."

After sitting down, Brother Hu pressed his temples tightly.

"Okay, Brother Hu, you take a break first. I'll go online to see what's going on."

Zhang Fan poured a glass of water for Brother Hu, then sat quietly aside and took out his mobile phone to find out what was going on.

After unlocking, Zhang Fan's first reaction was to open DouYing.

With the current Internet, sometimes news from Douyin is ahead of the news.

After clicking on the homepage, Zhang Fan wanted to take a look at the hot list first, but he didn't expect that there would be a special column directly on the homepage.

"At 11:10 last night, a series of car accidents occurred on Hushan Bridge. It seems that there is something strange going on. This incident is under further investigation."

"In the early hours of last night, all residents on the fourth floor of Building 5 in Xingfu Community disappeared inexplicably. The missing persons investigation is underway..."

"A large number of terrifying monsters have appeared in Hongshi Village, similar to the zombies in movies and TV shows, with stiff limbs and jumping around as they walk. The wandering Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain have initially stabilized the situation."

“…”

Zhang Fan scrolled down a few times. There were at least several hundred messages, and he couldn't read all the similar messages.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan frowned.

He quickly opened the search bar, trying to find the official announcement.

If nothing unexpected happens, the extent of the strange revival has reached a very troublesome level.

In fact, when supernatural phenomena occurred frequently some time ago, it could be considered a revival of the weirdness, but the degree was not deep.

At that time, the authorities should have known about it, but the news was not released online, which means that they may have wanted to conceal it.

After all, if the authorities come forward to admit this kind of thing, it will definitely cause some panic.

However, a lot of supernatural and weird things like that are banned and released, probably because they want to slowly prepare everyone mentally.

The official has not said anything about how weird his character is on the Internet, and it is very likely related to the strange revival.

Now that the official has announced all the news at once and allowed Douyin to reprint it naturally, it is probably because they can no longer control the situation.

However, since the authorities dare to do this, they probably have an effective solution.

I remember that once when I was chatting with Mr. Xu, he mentioned a psychic group.

Compared with Xuanmen, the spiritual group may be more powerful.

Of course, the Xuanmen here does not include the Second Courtyard.

The last time Yang Dianfeng reported to him, there were about 300 people in Xuanmen, spread all over the country, and three teams were selected to go explore the mystery, so the efficiency was naturally not high.

And according to Wang Kai and Zhao Yong, there are not many masters among these more than 300 people.

After the disbanding of Xuanmen, the authorities should have also won over many masters, especially the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

Soon, Zhang Fan found the official announcement pinned to the top.

《Emergency Notice》

"Since yesterday evening, supernatural events have occurred frequently across the country..."

“…”

"The strange revival has begun in full swing. Please reduce travel in the near future and remember the supernatural helpline: xxxx..."

"If you encounter special circumstances during necessary travel, please immediately go to any branch of Changhong Funeral Home, where you can temporarily guarantee safety."

"Everyone, be fully prepared to deal with the strange resurgence that has already arrived!"

“…”

This notice was about 7,000 to 8,000 words long, but Zhang Fan did not read it all because it made it very clear that the strange revival was really coming.

As for the subsequent content, it is a method to deal with weirdness, which Zhang Fan does not need to master at all.

Although he didn't read the main text, Zhang Fan quickly scrolled to the bottom and entered the comment section to see netizens' reactions after hearing the news.

[Oh my god, this world is getting more and more magical. The King of Hell just showed his cards yesterday, and today he revived strangely. Will all the people in heaven come down to have a meal together tomorrow? ]

[Bankruptcy, the pressure is so great now, I might as well be a ghost and hide here and there! ]

[What are you talking about? Cheer up and live your life! ]

[I am lucky. I was chased by a weirdo last night, but luckily I ran into the funeral shop.]

[No... Isn't Brother Sangzang the King of Hell? This little brat has escaped, why doesn't Brother Sangzang come out to take care of it! ]

[How do you know that the funeral brother didn't take care of it? Maybe he couldn't take care of it! ]

[Aren't you following the Eagle Sauce? Why is there a strange revival here? 】

[Strange revival turns out to be strange haunting. I asked for a long time before I understood! 】

[I just came back from the Internet. Now the whole Blue Star is like this. We in the East are relatively good! ]

【……】

After many possible "hints", the crowd did not collapse directly. Instead, many people discussed the matter rationally.

After roughly understanding the situation, Zhang Fan sat down next to Brother Hu again and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Hu, how was your rest? Tell me about it."

"good."

Brother Hu took a deep breath, recalled the scene, and tried not to let himself collapse too much.

"Probably since 8 o'clock last night, the Security Bureau has been receiving requests for help related to the supernatural."

"Not long after, we also received instructions from the door, strange resurrection."

"You remember the amulet we bought from you, it's quite useful, but sometimes we never get a chance to use it."

"I took three tickets with me when I went out. Since I was the team leader, I took more. The other brothers were not as lucky as me."

"I remember the first person I rescued was a little girl who was trapped in ..."

“…”

"By about 3 a.m., we had used up all the talismans we had."

"To be honest, if I had known this talisman was so effective, I would have bought more. I didn't expect this day to come so suddenly."

"After the talismans are used up, the rescue operation basically depends entirely on Liu Jun and his apprentice, because they are the only two who have the ability to deal with the weirdness."

"The two weapons you gave me are really powerful. They basically shattered when touched. Liu Jun and Xiao Hui were both interested in them, so they were solved quickly."

"But later we found that even though the weirdness was cleared, some places would continue to produce weirdness. That's why we were busy all night and only solved five or six cases."

"I remember it was around five o'clock. Xiaohui was trapped in the scrapyard. Liu Jun came to rescue him, and then..."

"A gust of cold wind blew over, completely covering the abandoned parking lot. We were outside and could only see a little bit, but couldn't get in at all."

At this point, Brother Hu choked up a little, hesitated for a moment, and continued:

"A dark shadow, whose exact appearance was unclear, tore Liu Jun apart alive... Xiaohui was seven or eight meters away from him, and his blood was drained out... I felt really helpless at the time... Alas..."

"The abandoned parking lot is still covered in black fog, but South City will be much safer after daybreak, so I have time to come find you."

"Abandoned station..." Zhang Fan nodded slightly. He wanted to ask why he didn't call him, but he felt that it was unnecessary to ask these questions now, so he patted Brother Hu on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Liu treats me well. I'll take care of the abandoned parking lot!"

"Brother Zhang Fan, this is why I came to you. I can't see him anymore, so I just want to know... can you help me find his body?" Brother Hu nodded and said:

"Brother Zhang Fan, I know the employees in your store are very powerful. Can you lend me one or two?"

"Um...Brother Hu, to be honest, none of my employees came to the store today."

Zhang Fan shook his head slightly, and instantly had an ominous premonition.

It just so happened that there was a strange revival today and all the employees disappeared... Is there something going on?

Forget it, I don’t have time to think about it so much.

"Brother Hu, did you come here by car?"

"Yes."

“Take me to the scene!”

“…”

Three minutes later, Zhang Fan got into Brother Hu's car and his destination was an abandoned parking lot in the East District.

Seeing that Brother Hu had calmed down a lot, Zhang Fan said:

"Brother Hu, from last night till now, can Xuanmen help?"

"Yes."

Brother Hu nodded and said, "The Xuanmen's methods are indeed magical, but they are really short of manpower. They just joined not long ago, and there are transfer letters everywhere."

"There are hundreds of cities and thousands of counties across the country, but there are only 300 people in Xuanmen, which is not enough to share."

"Our South City is close, so the situation is good, but the frequency of weirdness in our South City is also the highest."

"Thanks to your many branches and cemeteries, otherwise I don't know how tragic last night would have been."

Zhang Fan waved his hands quickly and said, "Brother Hu, please stop praising me. If I hadn't gone to bed so early last night, Brother Liu wouldn't have died."

"You can't be blamed for this." Brother Hu shook his head and said hesitantly, "Before Liu Jun set out, he seemed to have guessed that he would be glorious, and he said a lot of strange things."

"Is that so?"

Zhang Fan looked thoughtful. No wonder Liu Jun sent him an apology message so early.

While Zhang Fan was thinking, Brother Hu asked again:

"By the way, brother Zhang Fan, in addition to the evil spirits, many zombies from film and television dramas have appeared in South City, and they are almost exactly the same as in the TV series."

"We have dealt with two of them. We can use hot weapons to deal with them, but... such a dangerous thing cannot be popularized to the public. However, I heard from the people at the Tianshi Mansion that the peach wood sword can deal with this monster, but you have bought up all the peach wood in Da Nanzhou, you see..."

"Oh, you're talking about this. We're planning to make a batch of mahogany coffins. Many people have already placed orders for them."

Zhang Fan nodded, and then said: "But don't worry, it doesn't matter to me whether I make money or not. The peach wood has been mined out, so I can just make peach wood swords directly."

"Okay, brother Zhang Fan, no wonder Liu Jun said you are the most reliable!"

“…”

Fifteen minutes later, Brother Hu parked his car outside an abandoned parking lot.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhang Fan frowned.

Although the sun was not very big, it was daytime after all, and the entire abandoned parking lot was shrouded in black fog.

Not afraid of sunlight at all... The evil spirits here must be very powerful, no wonder Brother Liu couldn't handle them even with his hook...

However, what gave Zhang Fan a headache was not the situation in the parking lot.

Instead, it was the crowds of reporters outside the parking lot.

In the car, Zhang Fan learned that because they had been busy all night, most of the comrades in the Security Bureau were arranged to go back and rest. There was only one team on duty here, and they were all exhausted and had no energy to disperse these reporters.

When it comes to not caring about one's life, these reporters are number one.

They have all been resurrected mysteriously, and have even gone to the scene of the supernatural incidents to take photos and collect footage, and some have even been doing live broadcasts.

However, the next second, a sentence came into his ears, which instantly made Zhang Fan feel ashamed.

"Leader, please don't chase me away. The funeral brother's app said that the weird things during the day will not hurt anyone."

"I never said that!"

Zhang Fan immediately denied it and walked quickly towards the parking lot.

"Don't look at me, I'm the funeral brother, those who don't want to die, please go away!"

The situation happened suddenly. In order to improve efficiency, Zhang Fan decisively said two harsh words, and the effect was very significant.

"It's Brother Funeral... Quick, quick... Retreat!"

"Sangzang brother, I'm sorry, maybe my eyes are blurry..."

“…”

Zhang Fan stepped forward, and the crowd of reporters dispersed instantly.

At this time, Brother Hu came over and pointed to the front and said, "Brother Zhang Fan, it's in here, Liu Jun... Hey!"
