Just as Zhang Daochen was discussing the problem with everyone, Xu Jianguo, who was in the office of Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute, also had a solemn expression on his face.
Because just now, when the two director-level investigators were talking to Zhang Daochen, Xu Jianguo suddenly felt a sharp pain in the Zhong Kui tattoo on his chest.
This feeling was very strange, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. Anyway, Xu Jianguo felt that he had to stop the old Taoist priest and others from moving forward, because he had a hunch that if these people continued to go deeper, they would most likely all stay there.
After thinking about it, Xu Jianguo felt that it was still necessary to go. If nothing happened, that would be best, but if something really happened, he would not feel good.
After confirming what he was thinking, Xu Jianguo stood up, walked to the door, and called Liu Yang over.
"Captain!"
"I've got some inspiration. From now on, no one is allowed to disturb me or enter my office! Can you do it?"
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" Liu Yang said loudly.
Xu Jianguo nodded in satisfaction, then closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Then he walked to the desk, unplugged the telephone line, summoned Fu Bo out, and asked him to stay in his office. If there was any unexpected situation, he would be notified in time.
After explaining the situation, Xu Jianguo flashed into the space.
At this moment, his mind was still focused on the images sent back by the little Taoist boy. While watching, he quickly ran to the equipment room, changed into black combat uniform, put on a hood and mask, and then went through the space portal in the secret room of the study to the foggy space behind the third stone door underground in Lange Village.
With a flash of white light, Xu Jianguo appeared in the thick fog and opened his all-seeing eye.
And the moment he appeared in the thick fog, the Zhong Kui tattoo on his chest suddenly burst into a blazing light. Even with Xu Jianguo's physical fitness, he still felt the burning sensation in his chest.
In just a moment, Xu Jianguo discovered that the fabric of the very dirty combat uniform he was wearing on the left side of his chest was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, the entire tattoo pattern was completely exposed to the air.
What happened next made Xu Jianguo open his eyes wide.
When the tattoo was exposed to the air, the thick fog that originally surrounded him suddenly and quickly retreated without any warning. It felt like seeing a natural enemy.
At this time, there was no fog within a radius of ten meters around Xu Jianguo. From a distance, it looked like someone had locked him in a transparent glass cover, completely isolating him from the thick fog.
Xu Jianguo did not waste time. With the blessing of the all-seeing eye, he could easily see through the thick fog. After walking forward for a while, he saw the members of the investigation team standing in the thick fog.
However, in order not to expose himself, Xu Jianguo did not choose to contact them. Instead, after observing the surrounding terrain, he went around from the right.
He wanted to take advantage of the time when Zhang Daochen and others were discussing countermeasures to rush ahead of them and see what was hidden in the depths of the thick fog.
Originally, Xu Jianguo certainly had no such idea of being a hero, but just when the thick fog dissipated, he seemed to feel the joy coming from the tattoo of the great god Zhong Kui. The feeling was very vague, like the feeling of a person who has been hungry for a long time and suddenly sees delicious food, that kind of joy and impatience from the bottom of his heart.
That's why Xu Jianguo felt confident. He had a premonition that the thing in the thick fog that the old Taoist Xuanjue and others were afraid of might be something that the great god Zhong Kui liked very much and didn't take it seriously at all.
Just when Xu Jianguo appeared in this foggy space, the little Taoist boy, who felt something in his heart, suddenly turned his head and looked at the thick fog behind him.
The two director-level investigators who were good at telepathy also made the same move as him.
Bai Mei and Cao Gang, who were originally listening to Zhang Daochen's words, suddenly seemed to sense something and turned their heads to look at the thick fog on the right.
"What did you sense?" Zhang Daochen naturally knew the abilities of the two. Seeing them like this, he thought that some danger was approaching, so he asked.
The two exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of bewilderment in the other's eyes. Then, they shook their heads at Zhang Daochen and said, "It seemed like some creature passed by over there just now, but it was very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Maybe we sensed it wrongly!"
"No one knows what's in the thick fog. There's no guarantee that there might be some unknown creatures here. We all know your abilities. It's possible that one person made a mistake, and the possibility of two people making mistakes at the same time is not impossible, but it's not high. So we still have to be extremely alert!" Zhang Daochen said.
Seeing everyone's expressions become more serious, Zhang Daochen continued, "Also, I discovered some problems through my inspection of the villagers just now, and I have some guesses in my mind!"
"Lao Zhang, just say whatever you want to say!"
"That's right. It's already this time. What else can't be said?"
Everyone talked at once.
But Zhang Daochen did not speak directly. Instead, he looked at the old Taoist Xuanjue and asked, "Daoyou, did you see it too?"
As he finished speaking, everyone's attention focused on Xuanjue. He nodded solemnly and said slowly, "Take Yang to nourish Yin, and reverse Yin and Yang!"
"Oh, Master Dao, please stop being so sharp at this time!"
"That's right, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
The old Taoist priest did not continue speaking just because everyone started talking, because this topic was brought up by Zhang Daochen, and he certainly could not interfere. He had to give the right of interpretation back to others. He still understood this social etiquette.
"For the details, please let Brother Zhang explain it to everyone!" said the old Taoist priest.
Zhang Daochen nodded and continued, "Your words are correct. It's indeed a method of drawing yang to nourish yin and reversing yin and yang. Simply put, this so-called 'ghost worship' ritual in Langge Village is a complete conspiracy. Its ultimate goal is probably to allow some kind of being here to absorb the villagers' yang energy to improve its own cultivation and ultimately achieve the goal of reversing yin and yang. In other words, someone wants to be resurrected and become an immortal after death!"
"hiss……"
As Zhang Daochen finished speaking, there was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air around him.
At this time, Xu Jianguo, who had taken a detour from a distance, had arrived a hundred meters ahead of the investigation team. Not far in front of him, there appeared an altar more than ten meters high, and on the altar was a huge coffin as black as ink.
