April 20th is Grain Rain, a day suitable for burials, tomb repair and planting, but not for entering the house, offering sacrifices and breaking ground.

"Hey, hey, don't sleep anymore, it's time to get off work!"

Ren Suo, who was sleeping in the passenger seat, woke up instantly. He opened his eyes and saw Chen Kun knocking on the car window outside.

Ren Suo rubbed his eyes, got out of the car and said, "Hey, Brother Kun... I feel a little sleepy today."

"You've been like this since this morning. When you eat braised pork rice, your face will hit the braised pork." Chen Kun said, "Young man, take care of your health."

He sighed again and said, "It's all my fault, brother. If I had known, I wouldn't have given you the website."

Ren Suo was so sleepy that he didn't bother to think about Chen Kun's dirty talk. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: "Ren Suo, if you shake again, you'll hit the lamppost!"

With a bang, Ren Suo's head hit the lamppost next to him, and two kinds of laughter were heard from behind.

Ren Suo turned his head and finally pulled himself together: "Xiao Qiao? Young Master Wei?"

The people who came were Qiao Muyi and her partner, Wei Shaojun. Wei Shaojun was a girl with short hair and a pair of glasses. She looked quite heroic and dressed like a man. In the Countermeasures Team 3, everyone called her Wei Shao.

The two greeted Ren Suo and Chen Kun, and Qiao Muyi asked, "Why are you here?"

Ren Suo turned his head and looked at Chen Kun. Chen Kun was helpless: "You really are so sleepy... We are here to investigate Longhui Building."

"Oh..." Ren Suo raised his head and looked at a construction site about ten stories high not far away. He finally remembered: "A haunted construction site?"

"Yes." Chen Kun said, "The person who reported the case was the person in charge of the construction unit. He said that there seemed to be strange noises at the construction site at night, and that some workers would suddenly die when they were working at night. There were people dying suddenly for several nights in a row, and even the foreman died because of it. The construction unit finally called the police, but the Heitu Public Security Bureau didn't find any problems, so we took over the matter."

In addition to cooperating with orders from above, the Countermeasures Bureau is also responsible for solving inexplicable supernatural events at other times - or in other words, these tasks are the main content of the Countermeasures Bureau.

If it's an awakened person causing trouble, let Countermeasure Teams One and Two take over. If it's an ordinary person causing trouble, they have to solve it themselves.

Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi and the others: "Then why are you here?"

Wei Shaojun said, "We are in charge of a missing case. Seven or eight children disappeared from a nearby primary school in the past two weeks. We contacted the Public Security Bureau to compare their home locations and schools and found that they were not far from this construction site. Of course, more importantly, a child told us that the missing children sometimes came to play near the construction site."

"It's the same case then." Ren Suo shrugged and went into the fenced construction site with them.

There were several seals from the public security department hanging outside the construction site, and a large iron chain lock was hung on the gate. Ren Suo and his friends didn't have the key, but it didn't matter at all - they could just climb over the wall and get in.

There was no one at the construction site. Even if the workers wanted to make money, seeing several co-workers die suddenly in their sleep was unbearable for any normal person. No one from the construction unit dared to come, but this saved them a lot of effort - they could just look for someone else.

Ren Suo quietly put on his suit and searched for clues among the cement and steel bars. He had never studied criminal investigation, so he didn't mean to look for clues with his eyes. If he could see it with his eyes, the police would have discovered something was wrong long ago.

As practitioners, they naturally rely on the cyclone sensing system to sense spiritual energy.

After the cyclone rotates, it is very sensitive to the changes and flows of spiritual energy. If a supernatural event really happens here and leaves obvious traces of spiritual energy, they will naturally be able to feel it.

After working for an hour or two, it was almost dark and they still hadn't found anything wrong. Chen Kun sighed and said, "We can only continue investigating tomorrow. If tomorrow doesn't work, we'll have to do it the day after tomorrow."

Supernatural incidents like this all have an investigation deadline. If nothing is found for three consecutive days, they have to be abandoned. After all, the manpower of the Countermeasures Bureau cannot be wasted on this.

Wei Shaojun said: "Maybe the problem only occurred at night?"

Ren Suo glanced at the construction site behind him that had turned into a dark castle, and said expressionlessly, "Then I have to report it first and see if the captain approves me to work overtime tonight."

The others nodded. Although their Countermeasures Bureau was a public institution, they came from various departments. It was nonsense to say that they had any grand ideals. Most of them were lucky ordinary people. They naturally had to follow the rules and regulations instead of relying on passion to embark on an adventure of "there is only one truth".

However, when they were leaving the construction site, they suddenly heard a very distant cry coming from behind them.

Chen Kun looked grim: "This matter...why not hand it over to Countermeasures Team One and Two."

As practitioners with great power in their hands, although they are not afraid of any ghosts or monsters, they still can't help but get goose bumps when they suddenly encounter such a strange incident.

These are the values ​​that have been instilled from mainstream culture and horror movies over the past twenty years. Even if one possesses much stronger martial arts than ordinary people, one cannot be immune to the trembling from the bottom of one's heart.

They hurriedly drove back to the National Security Bureau to report and complete their attendance. After returning, Qiao Muyi suddenly said to Ren Suo, "By the way, we are going to the club to practice tonight. Are you coming? We are all former students of the Eighth Team. We plan to get together while practicing in the club."

Ren Suo: "Huh? How come I don't know?"

Qiao Muyi: "Have you checked WeChat?"

Ren Suo patted his forehead. He had been sleepless the whole night after turning off the Small World game console. He was groggy during the day today, so naturally he didn't know about this.

Ren Suo originally wanted to refuse directly, but he didn't want to go home too early today, so he agreed and took the subway to the gymnasium in Tianhe District with Qiao Muyi.

"We agreed to meet at 7:30. We still have time now. How about having dinner first?" Qiao Muyi suggested.

Ren Suo had no objection, so the two of them found a Kaifeng fast food restaurant and ate Kaifeng fried chicken.

Ren Suo looked troubled while eating, and had no interest in eating. Qiao Muyi asked, "Why? Do you need any help?"

I'm considering whether to chop off my hands... Ren Suo glanced at Qiao Muyi and said casually, "Do you want to help?"

"Hmm?" Qiao Muyi just asked casually. Noticing that Ren Suo seemed to be serious, he shook his head and said, "It depends on what it is... Considering our friendship, I can only help you with 500 yuan at most."

"500 yuan?" Ren Suo was stunned.

Qiao Muyi said: "Well, this is how I classify my friends. 500 yuan means that I can lend you a maximum of 500 yuan. It doesn't matter if you don't pay me back, but from now on we are strangers."

"Then your method of judging the value of friends is quite intuitive..." Ren Suo asked, "What about Wei Shaojun?"

"1250 or so." Qiao Muyi asked, "So how much do you want to borrow?"

It can actually be accurate to ten digits... Ren Suo shook his head: "Well, it actually has nothing to do with you, but if you really want to know..."

"I don't want to." Qiao Muyi gave Ren Suo a critical hit without any reluctance, "Time is almost up, let's go... ..."

As Qiao Muyi was talking, her body suddenly tilted. If Ren Suo hadn't reacted quickly enough to hold her, she would have definitely fallen to the ground.

"I..." Qiao Muyi's face looked very ugly. Ren Suo only felt a reaction force coming from his hands, which shook his hands away from Qiao Muyi.

Qiao Muyi activated "Clothes"!

Theoretically, the "clothing" that could dispel all negative states had no effect. Qiao Muyi sat on the chair with cold sweat on his face. He held on to the table for more than ten seconds, then he closed his eyes and passed out.

"What happened?"

"Do you want to call an ambulance?"

Customers at nearby tables saw Qiao Muyi, a living person, suddenly faint and hurriedly spoke.

Ren Suo immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, picked up Qiao Muyi and ran downstairs, found a taxi and directly gave the address of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Lianjiang Medical University.

The driver asked, "Are you in an emergency? But it will take at least an hour to get there, why don't we go to a nearby hospital first?"

Ren Suo: "This is a relapse of an old illness. Only that hospital has imported treatment equipment. Please drive there as soon as possible!"

Ren Suo knew that Qiao Muyi must have been harmed by some kind of spiritual energy. It was useless to go to an ordinary hospital. Only the research hospital that specialized in treating practitioners and awakened ones could possibly save Qiao Muyi's life!

Construction site, crying, sudden death...

Although I don't know if it was the crying sound at the construction site, it's almost certain. Qiao Muyi opened her "clothes", but it couldn't stop it. It can be seen that the mysterious power hidden in the construction site is definitely not an ordinary supernatural event.

To put it simply, they might have just fought monsters of a higher level.

While rushing to the hospital, Ren Suo informed You Jilong of Qiao Muyi's condition. You Jilong immediately said that he would notify the hospital and that the incident at the Longhui Building construction site would be handed over to Countermeasures Teams One and Two.

The journey was in a hurry, and fortunately Qiao Muyi, as a practitioner, had some resistance. When he arrived at the hospital, he was still breathing a breath. The doctors and nurses who had been waiting at the gate quickly lifted Qiao Muyi onto a stretcher and took him into the hospital for emergency treatment.

Ren Suo wanted to go in, but Yao Meilu, a doctor he knew, stopped him: "Don't worry, you'll be fine once you come here. Although this patient's case is rare, similar cases have occurred before and there are complete treatment plans. You practitioners are usually fine, so you can't come into the hospital."

Seeing how confident and serious the professional medical staff Yao Meilu was, Ren Suo had no reason not to believe it. Moreover, he didn't really want to step into the hospital, a place where spiritual energy was collapsing...

At this time, he received another call from You Jilong:

"Someone from Countermeasures Team 2 has just been to the construction site to investigate, and the investigation is still ongoing." You Jilong said, "The four teammates who entered the construction site today are you, Qiao Muyi, Wei Shaojun, and Chen Kun. Now the deputy director has instructed that, except for Qiao Muyi who is admitted to the hospital, the remaining three of you will temporarily join Countermeasures Team 2 and work with them to handle this construction site incident."

You Jilong told Ren Suo the phone number of Lu Luo, the deputy captain of the Second Countermeasures Team, and said, "I'll let you continue to be in charge of this incident, but the deputy director thinks you have some special information... Don't worry, the Second Countermeasures Team only needs you to assist in the investigation, and we won't let you do any work."

Ren Suo took the same taxi back to the city center and called Lu Luo on the way.

"Hello, is this the deputy captain of the second team, Lu Le? I'm Ren Suo from the third team..."

Lu Luo interrupted, "You are Ren Suo? That's good. Although the deputy director has given instructions, our second team does not need your help."

Ren Suo was stunned: "But..."

"Please inform the other two people as well. Anyway, don't bother us. Our team two will handle this incident perfectly. That's it."

Ren Suo looked at his phone in disarray.

They really don't let us do any work.

This means we don't have to do any work.

Ren Suo informed the other two of the news and fell into confusion:

Now the third team asked me to work in the second team.

The second team doesn't need me to work.

So... I'm on vacation?

————

When Ren Suo returned home, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

He immediately opened the Small World game console and opened the "Content Library".

It was completely empty, with only two keys.

"One-star Wind Blade Key" and "One-star Resentment Key"!

The former was obtained by him from the junior high school student Wu Jianming, and the latter was obtained by him from Qiao Muyi just now!

Ren Suo carried Qiao Muyi to the hospital, which took a full hour, and Qiao Muyi was in a coma. Although he had no intention of doing so at the time, he had already gained the time he needed and got Qiao Muyi's key halfway through the journey!

This can be considered an unexpected gain, although the fundamental reason is that Qiao Muyi was unlucky today...

He checked the time. It was 11:30.

There are only 15 minutes left until tomorrow.

Buy or not? Buy or not?

If you miss today, there will be no discount!

Ren Suo couldn't sleep yesterday and felt groggy and absent-minded the whole day today, all because he was thinking about whether or not to buy something!

Buy? Or not?

11:40.

Ren Suo looked at the screen and decided to take out a coin and let fate decide whether to buy it or not.

Numbers mean buy, ** means don’t buy.

Ren Suo flicked the coin with his thumb, and as he watched the coin fall, he suddenly grabbed it with one hand.

He took a deep breath and a look of relief appeared on his face.

The moment he flicked the coin, Ren Suo already had the answer in his mind.

Ren Suo,

But a player,

Merits can be earned later.

But discounts don’t come every day!

More importantly, he really wants that exclusive reward!

Bought it!

Although he said he was buying it, Ren Suo quickly opened "Over My Dead Body" and chose to upload the save file.

If the merits are not enough, the rewards will make up for it!
