Chapter 50: Entering the Qinling Mountains (Additional Update)
“How can this be possible!”
Captain Liu was the first to jump out and object.
He hadn't said anything just now because he was afraid that Feng Tianning would show his personal heroism again, and it turned out to be just as he thought.
"Tianning, if you go by yourself, are you sure you can get out safely?"
"Director Cai, she..."
Director Cai raised his hand to interrupt Captain Liu and looked at Feng Tianning with burning eyes.
Feng Tianning shook his head and nodded under his gaze:
"Whether I can get out or not will only be known after I go there. Besides, I have my own way to save my life."
Director Cai sighed and said:
"I know you have a powerful force behind you."
"But this is the special case team. We don't need you to rush to the front alone against a hundred people."
"The detectives in our special case team aren't just there to eat for free."
Director Cai actually felt a little sorry for the little girl.
As the illegitimate daughter of the Feng family, she must have had to shoulder more responsibilities, which is why she developed such a strong character.
But since Feng Tianning has joined their special case team, she doesn't have to be so stubborn anymore, because their special case team is her backing.
After hearing what Director Cai said, Feng Tianning only felt more and more distressed eyes falling on her.
Feng Tianning: ...
Did they misunderstand something?
What she meant was that these colleagues might not be strong enough, and it would be very dangerous to go to Qinling Mountains, so it would be better for her to go alone.
"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. Everyone, get ready and we'll be leaving in half an hour."
Xuan Gou Chen also came over and patted her on the shoulder. She had already heard from Captain Liu about Feng Tianning's life experience.
She already regarded Feng Tianning as a friend who had shared life and death with her, so how could she let her take the risk alone?
"Tianning, no one dares to bully you while I'm here."
"Xuan Gou Chen, Han Jiajun, Feng Tianning, Jing Li, Zheng Cong."
"The five of you and Captain Liu will go to Qinling to investigate."
"When encountering an unsolvable danger, retreat immediately. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
Director Cai called out a few names with a serious face. In addition to the people Feng Tianning was familiar with, a man and a woman also stood out from behind.
He didn't pick people randomly. Except for Feng Tianning and Han Jiajun, the remaining three were all senior detectives of the special case team.
They have handled more supernatural incidents than Feng Tianning has eaten meals, and Director Cai feels at ease with them around.
"Director Cai, we want to go too!" Several detectives who were not named spoke up somewhat unconvinced.
"Your mission is to go to various police stations and assist them in removing the Dragon Suppression Nail."
Captain Liu simply packed up his equipment and took Feng Tianning and his party on the bus to Qinling Mountains.
Feng Tianning rummaged through his pocket and distributed a stack of talismans to the agents in the team.
"This...what is this?" Captain Liu was so shocked that he couldn't speak after looking at the talisman in his hand.
"These talismans were originally prepared for you."
Feng Tianning smiled faintly. Her original plan was to investigate on her own first, and then take these agents to Qinling Mountains.
Since they want to go now, they can only use these talismans in advance.
"Is this a painting on photoless paper?"
Seeing Feng Tianning nod, Captain Liu finally understood. No wonder she dared to say that she was going to Qinling Mountains alone. It turned out that she had made sufficient preparations.
"Hello, I'm Jingli." A sweet-looking girl greeted Feng Tianning with a smile.
The man next to her just nodded coldly and said:
"Zheng Cong."
[Jing Li, mid-Nascent Soul stage, Merit: 100]
[Zheng Cong, Nascent Soul Stage Peak, Merit: 130]
Feng Tianning looked at the two of them in surprise. He didn't expect that these two people, who looked to be only in their twenties, had such high cultivation levels.
The special case team was already in the suburbs, and in just a few words they had arrived at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
The sky seemed to be soaked in ink, and the clouds hung low to the mountainside. Only a blood-red moon occasionally broke through the clouds, casting a scarlet halo on their faces.
The black resentment condensed into substance and squirmed against their bodies like a living thing. Captain Liu felt wet all over as if he had taken a bath.
There seemed to be a few whimpers mixed in the mountain wind, and when it penetrated into my ears it felt like icicles piercing my bones.
"How could this happen?" Feng Tianning murmured.
When she came to Qinling Mountains more than a month ago, it wasn't this gloomy.
"It seems the situation is much more serious than we thought."
"Grab your weapons, we're ready to go in."
Captain Liu took the lead and walked to the front, summoning his demon-slaying halberd.
The remaining few people also took out their weapons.
Only then did Feng Tianning realize that Jing Li was holding a black flute in his hand, and Zheng Cong summoned a small paper man to stand on his shoulder.
As if noticing her gaze, Jing Li explained with a smile:
"I can use the flute to harness the resentment for my own benefit. Zheng Cong is proficient in puppetry. This villain can control the evil spirits to temporarily become his puppets."
Feng Tianning was a little surprised. It was the first time she heard of these techniques.
Unexpectedly, the special case team is really full of hidden talents. The combined strengths of the two of them can directly subdue the evil spirits.
Even when there are many evil spirits, you can "turn enemies into friends."
The moment they stepped into the Qinling Mountains, the scene before them suddenly changed.
The forest that was so eerie and man-eating just now has turned into rows of villas, and the blood moon above has disappeared, turning into a bright crescent moon.
The place inside was completely different from what they had imagined, with evil spirits everywhere. Instead, there were several snack streets and bustling crowds pushing them inside.
"How is this possible?" Xuan Gou Chen shouted in disbelief.
Even if the Qinling Mountains were not overrun with ferocious beasts and evil spirits, the night market here should not be like this.
"Let's go in and take a look first." Captain Liu gave the order in a cold voice.
Feng Tianning was walking at the end of the team and was keenly aware that the people around him seemed to be unaware of their presence and were busy selling and buying goods.
It looks lively here, but if you look closely you can see that these "people" are constantly repeating the same action.
Two words flashed through Feng Tianning's mind - strange domain.
Although the scenery here is different from that outside the Qinling Mountains, the resentment is even heavier than there.
If nothing unexpected happens, they might have stepped into a trap carefully prepared by the Sakura people.
When she was in Sakura Country, she had entered the mysterious domain of Umibozu, and it was like a normal world inside.
The only difference is that the people inside are conscious, while the people here seem to be controlled.
The others also noticed something was wrong and stopped.
"These people are like puppets." Zheng Cong said coldly.
"That's right, I'm afraid we have entered the strange domain." Jing Li added immediately after Zheng Cong's words.
Feng Tianning looked at them in surprise. He didn't expect these two people to react so quickly and guess their situation in just a few minutes.
"The only way to break the strange domain is to kill the evil spirits here."
Feng Tianning was about to speak when he saw a familiar figure walking in front of them.
