Chapter 25 Why is there an evil aura?
The Changbai Mountains are silent at night.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city and its bright lights, the beauty of the starry sky finally emerged.
Looking forward from the top of Changbai Mountain, the calm lake reflects the vast starry sky, a Milky Way stretches across Tianchi Lake, and meteors streak across the night sky from time to time, which is a beautiful sight.
It's a pity that no one appreciates such beautiful scenery.
Inside the camp of the Extraordinary Management Bureau, the camp leader was frowning as he listened to Jiang Qian'an's report.
Since yesterday, they have completely blocked Changbai Mountain and sent more personnel to search the mountain, but unfortunately nothing was found.
The other party seemed to be very familiar with the routines of the Supernatural Administration and was always able to avoid them in advance.
It was not until tonight that Jiang Qian'an did not follow the established mountain search route, but suddenly changed direction, which resulted in the results.
"…We caught two people this time. Jian Yuan interrogated them and found out that neither of them was the one carrying the dragon egg." Time was limited, so Jiang Qi'an was brief and to the point, reporting directly on the key points.
The camp leader immediately showed a disappointed expression upon hearing this. What’s the point of capturing other people if they didn’t find the dragon egg?
But the next second he perked up again and continued to ask: "Do the two people we captured know where the man with the dragon egg is hiding?"
Since they are in the same group, maybe they have a unique way of communicating with each other.
Jiang Qian shook his head and said, "They don't know where the other party is either. They all acted separately and only agreed on the next meeting place before they separated."
This means that the person with the dragon egg could be hiding anywhere before the next gathering.
But after asking about the meeting place, I didn't get nothing.
The person in charge's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "Now that we know the meeting place, let's quickly take people there to wait."
"We have sent people over." Jiang Qianan replied, "But their next gathering time is half a month from now. We can't wait that long."
"Half a month, so long!" the person in charge exclaimed.
Jiang Qi'an said, "Because the Green Dragon was injured by their people, it won't live long. They just want to wait it out and then leave with the dragon egg."
This is indeed the safest method for the group of egg thieves.
Alas, the person from the General Administration sighed. He did not expect that such a big accident would happen while observing a dragon undergoing a tribulation.
"Have you figured out the identity of the egg thieves?"
Jiang Qian nodded: "Jian Yuan found out through asking, they are from our organization."
"This organization, it's them again." The person in charge said angrily: "What on earth do they want to do?"
Jiang Qian'an was more concerned about other issues: "How did the organization know about the dragon's tribulation and steal the dragon egg so accurately?"
Thinking of the failures of this mountain search, the person in charge's face darkened, "Do you suspect there's a traitor among us?"
This operation was organized by the Extraordinary Management Bureau. If such a serious mistake was caused by a traitor within the headquarters, then he, as the person in charge, cannot escape blame.
Jiang Qian shook his head and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions now. The most urgent task is to find the dragon egg as soon as possible."
As for the internal affairs of the Extraordinary Management Bureau, let's leave it to them to handle after this incident is over.
The person in charge also knew that the most urgent task was to find the dragon egg. He asked seriously, "Captain Jiang, how confident are you that you can find the dragon egg before the deadline given by Qing Jiao?"
Jiang Qian remained silent. He didn't know when he could find the dragon eggs.
The Changbai Mountains are endless and have complex terrain. He doesn't even know whether the person with the dragon egg has escaped in the chaos?
If the other party is no longer in Changbai Mountain, then everything they do now is in vain.
All he could say was, "I will try my best to find the dragon eggs."
"But we can't wait that long." The person in charge said with a heavy face: "Qing Jiao only gave us three days."
"Three days, Captain Jiang, we have to find a dragon egg in the entire Changbai Mountains within three days."
"The Changbai Mountains are so huge. Finding a dragon egg from it, especially since the egg has been deliberately hidden, is even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack."
"And the extraordinary person with the dragon egg is most likely a hidden superpower. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he suddenly disappeared from under our noses."
Jiang Qi'an also knew that this was difficult. He was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll look for it again and I'll give you a result tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the last day.
What if I still can’t find it tomorrow?
No one asked this question, as they all knew the outcome that was about to happen.
Jiang Qian saluted, turned around and left silently.
When he reached the door of the tent and before he could lift the curtain, a hoarse voice came from behind him: "Captain Jiang, evacuate the people at the foot of the mountain."
Jiang Qianan turned around abruptly and stared at the person in charge in disbelief. "What do you mean by this?"
The person in charge looked him straight in the eye and slowly said, "Captain Jiang, we must prepare for the worst. If we still can't find the dragon egg by the time the deadline comes, either we will be killed by the Green Dragon, or the Green Dragon will be destroyed by us. There are only two possible outcomes."
And he is the top person in charge of this operation. If that day really comes, no matter what the outcome is, he can only die to atone for his sin.
His face was solemn. "The latest order from the General Administration is that once the deadline is reached, the egg-hunting plan will be transformed into the dragon-slaying plan at any time. Captain Jiang, you and your team must make plans early."
"What did you say? Dragon slaying?" Jiang Qi'an couldn't believe it. "The situation between us and Qing Jiao has not reached a life-and-death stage."
"But the Green Dragon failed to survive the tribulation, and the people in the organization just want to delay it until the Green Dragon dies, so that they can take the egg away smoothly." The person in charge said helplessly: "They can wait, but we can't. We can't just watch the dragon come out of the mountain and cause trouble to the world."
"But the Qingjiao is innocent." Jiang Qian'an said word by word.
"Aren't the ordinary people at the foot of Changbai Mountain innocent?" The person in charge asked back, staring at Jiang Qian'an and said, "Captain Jiang, you should know what is more important."
Jiang Qian stopped talking.
Seeing the resistance on his face, the person in charge sighed, waved his hand and said, "Maybe things won't get to the worst point. Anyway, let's evacuate the people first."
Jiang Qian'an turned and left without saying a word.
The person in charge hurriedly asked behind him: "Where are you going?"
Without even turning his head, he threw down a few words: "Go find the dragon eggs."
***
Early in the morning of the third day, train HG8765 arrived at Changbaishan Station on time.
Li Chengfeng took Li Ping'an out of the platform, and a cool breeze blew in their faces. The dry climate was completely different from the humid south.
He read the travel guide in advance and found that Changbai Mountain Station was the most convenient train station. After exiting the station, he could directly transfer to the scenic area bus and reach the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area in about three hours.
Moreover, the scenic area buses are officially operated, with unified pricing, and depart at fixed times and locations. The prices are fair to everyone, making it the most economical and affordable travel option.
Turn right after exiting the train station and you will reach the ticket purchasing point for the scenic area bus. This ticket purchasing point was very lively in the past, but today the windows are closed and there is not a single tourist to be seen.
Li Chengfeng ran to the tourist information center to inquire, and only then did he know that since the day before yesterday, the scenic area had received a temporary notice from the Tourism Bureau that Changbai Mountain would be conducting military exercises, and would suspend receiving tourists and all shuttle buses would be suspended.
This is really unfortunate.
As soon as I walked out of the tourist information center, a driver came over to greet me, "Handsome guy, are you here to travel in Changbai Mountain? The shuttle buses have stopped running now. If you want to go to the scenic spots, you can only charter a car or share a car."
Li Chengfeng glanced at him and asked, "How much?"
The master saw that there was a play and asked enthusiastically, "Where do you want to go?"
Li Chengfeng: "Tianchi."
"Oh, Tianchi." The master said in embarrassment: "You will be disappointed. There are military exercises going on recently. Changbai Mountain is completely closed. Forget about seeing Tianchi. You can't even climb up Changbai Mountain now."
He complained: "Fortunately, it is the off-season now, so there are not many tourists. If the mountain is closed in July and August when the flow of tourists is the largest, there will be a lot of complaints."
This statement is consistent with the answer given by the tourist center.
But why is the mountain closed?
Li Chengfeng looked up at the mountains in the distance.
There was white snow there, and it was peaceful and serene, with nothing unusual to be seen.
Li Pingan beside him showed an uneasy look, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "Uncle, there is a thick black aura over there."
Black air? Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.
The black air represents the breath of death. What exactly happened in Changbai Mountain? Could it be that something happened to the dragon?
Without further ado, he took Li Ping'an's hand and walked forward quickly.
After walking a long way, the driver behind me was still calling: "Hey, handsome guy, don't leave in a hurry. Changbai Mountain is closed and you can't go there. You can go somewhere else to play. In addition to Changbai Mountain, we have many interesting attractions..."
Li Chengfeng led Li Ping'an forward until they turned several streets and came to a remote and deserted alley, where they stopped.
Li Pingan raised his head and asked him: "Uncle, how do we get to Changbai Mountain?"
Li Chengfeng touched her head and said, "There's no other way. We can only fly over there."
Li Pingan's eyes lit up, Feifei! She had wanted to fly for a long time.
Li Chengfeng bent down and held her in his arms, and reminded her: "Ping An, hold on to your uncle."
The next second, the whole person flew into the air and rushed towards Changbai Mountain.
After flying for a while, the two arrived above the Changbai Mountains. The clouds in front of them dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the Tianchi Lake.
Like a blue gem inlaid between the mountains, the beauty of Tianchi Lake appears even more ethereal and tranquil against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, which is breathtaking.
Li Pingan exclaimed "Wow" without blinking, "Uncle, it's so beautiful."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Do you like it? That's where you will study in the future."
Li Pingan suddenly felt that taking tutoring classes in such a beautiful place was not so difficult to accept.
"Then uncle, should I study in Tianchi?"
Li Chengfeng thought about it and said, "It's not impossible. It depends on how your teacher arranges it."
After all, dragons love water, so Ping An needs to practice his swimming skills more in the future.
After appreciating the beautiful scenery, Li Chengfeng turned around and prepared to fly towards Tianchi. Li Pingan suddenly asked in confusion: "Uncle, why is there a demonic aura?"
