"You have all finished reading it, right?" Old Master Dong spoke after seeing the couple put the documents back to their original place.
"We've finished," the couple replied simultaneously. Old Master Dong nodded, his expression equally grim. "The ghostly aura you mentioned last time on the living has reappeared in Province W half a month ago. Take a group of people there and investigate thoroughly. How did these people become possessed by the aura? Find out who's responsible and arrest them if you can. If not, execute them on the spot. People like this deserve a hundred deaths," Old Master Dong shouted angrily.
The young couple responded loudly to Mr. Dong with a serious expression, "Yes."
Because the matter was urgent, the couple returned to the Liao family and explained some things to Grandma Zhang. Then they took the entire ghost-hunting team on a military truck and headed for Province W.
As soon as she entered Province W, Zhang Meng's first impression of this province was that it was different from other provinces.
The people in this province seem to live a carefree life, with normal complexions, unlike the people in other provinces who are pale and skinny, starving to the point of being skin and bones.
The military trucks were parked directly in the military area in Province W.
They were greeted by a middle-aged man. "Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Fang, your host this time."
"Hello, Comrade Zhou." Gu Mingtai stepped forward and saluted him.
After returning the gift, Comrade Zhou Fang immediately looked at them and said, "I've already arranged accommodation for you. I'll send someone to take you there tomorrow."
Gu Mingtai nodded and said to him, "Thank you."
That night, the group slept in this military area.
The next morning, not long after everyone finished breakfast, Zhou Fang, who had greeted them last night, came over with four soldiers.
Before getting on the bus, Gu Mingtai explained to everyone, "Everyone, according to our intelligence, those living ghosts may attack our annual harvest festival. Our mission this time is to stop the living ghosts from disrupting the festival, bring them to justice, and identify the main culprit."
After listening to this, everyone was filled with ambition.
An hour later, when they arrived at the Harvest Commendation Conference, the conference had not officially started yet and there were many people rehearsing in the lobby.
Gu Mingtai glanced at his watch. "There's still an hour and a half until the commendation ceremony begins. In the next hour and a half, we must search this place inside and out. If we encounter any suspicious people, try not to alert others and deal with them quietly. Do you understand?"
The ghost hunting team members responded at the same time, "Yes."
Soon, the search team was divided into two groups, led by Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai.
Zhang Meng took the seven members of Ye Shiping's team into the backstage of the conference to search.
Compared with the front desk, the backstage seems a little eerily quiet.
As soon as she entered the backstage, a scent that did not belong to a living person drifted into Zhang Meng's nose.
"Everyone, be careful. This place is a bit weird. Be extremely alert." Zhang Meng and Ye Shiping warned them.
The other seven people present were not fools. It was so lively outside, but there was not even a single person inside. Even a fool could see that this place was a bit strange. So after hearing Zhang Meng's reminder, the seven of them immediately observed the movements around them with a vigilant look on their faces.
At this moment, one of the seven people suddenly shouted, "Comrade Zhang, come over here and take a look!"
Zhang Meng ran over immediately.
I saw a few drops of foul-smelling black liquid on the floor where people were changing clothes backstage.
"It's something that came out of the living ghosts. It seems we are still too late. This place has been invaded by living ghosts."
Zhang Meng looked around and spoke with a heavy face.
At this moment, a black shadow as fast as lightning flashed past them.
"What is it?" "It looks like a black thing!"
"No, it's a shadow, a human shadow!"
Zhang Meng shouted to these people, "Stop making noise, be quiet!"
Liao Qingting walked over to Zhang Meng and looked around vigilantly, "Xiao Meng, that shadow just now was a human figure!"
Zhang Meng glanced at her and asked, "Did you see clearly?"
Liao Qingting nodded vigorously, "I can see clearly, it's a figure, but I don't know who it is, and how fast it is!"
Zhang Meng looked around the backstage, his expression slightly changed, "I'm afraid the owner of this shadow isn't human at all!"
Just a moment after she finished speaking, one of the members let out a scream.
"Comrade Zhang, help! Zeng Guoqing has been dragged away by that dark figure."
A panicked figure ran up to Zhang Meng and preached.
Zhang Meng frowned and looked down, and saw that the black liquid on the ground was flowing into a room backstage.
Zhang Meng immediately walked towards the black liquid on the ground with the sword that protected the house.
Soon, they were standing at the door.
Zhang Meng immediately gestured to the people behind her to stop.
"You just stand guard at the door and observe the movements around. Let Liao Qingting follow me in." Zhang Meng told them.
After giving the order, Zhang Meng nodded to Liao Qingting who was standing opposite him. As Zhang Meng gestured, the two of them pushed open the half-open door at the same time.
As soon as I opened the door, the stench inside became more obvious.
At this moment, Liao Qingting felt as if she was stepping on something. She looked down and her face changed color with fear. She swallowed hard and said, "Xiao Meng, it's human bones!"
