Chapter 159

After Ah Yan and Zhu Jue quickly contacted the special case team, the department behind Officer Zheng Yi also completed the coordination with them. At noon, a large group of people arrived at the address sent by Zhuo Si, Malu Bay, Bincheng.

"Sister A'li." A'yan looked at Cheng Li and greeted her. Although she had only met her once, she was the only person she knew and could contact in the "Special Case Team".

There was no reply to Ding Ling’s WeChat message, and her phone was always busy.

It is said that she was recently in the south helping to search for early South Vietnamese ruins. She went into the mountains and the signal was poor, so she had to use a satellite phone to communicate.

Ah Yan was not too worried about Xiao Lingdang's safety, but he didn't know when her work there would be finished.

It was clearly noon and the hottest summer day in Bincheng, but a large number of people were walking on the heated asphalt road and they felt cold all over.

"This place is quite interesting." Ah Li said while looking at the sun.

"If we didn't know there was a problem here, it would be nice to come here to camp and escape the heat in the summer," said Xiaogua, a member of the special case team.

"That young man who is looking for excitement but is extremely timid is truly courting death." Ah Li couldn't help but shook his head.

"To some extent, we need to thank him." Zheng Yi looked around. Since she arrived at Maluwan, the black and red task progress bar in front of her has moved forward a lot.

However, when she walked onto the road here, the progress bar got stuck again. It seemed that she had to find that "unclear place".

"It has been nearly 12 hours since the young man named Zhuosi entered here. We probably only have 12 hours left." Ah Li's expression was very serious at the moment.

"The time I'm referring to is the opportunity to enter that place."

"On the Ghost Festival, the gates of hell open, connecting to many realms that are normally inaccessible."

"Sister A'li, what you mean is that today is like a bridge connecting these two places." A Yan said.

"Birds of a feather flock together. These two places are temporarily connected together." Zhu Jue raised his head.

Ah Li looked at the large number of people using the machines for testing and nodded readily: "I can understand that."

"You humans have a theory about magnetic poles: unlike attract like, and like repel like."

"In many different situations, the theory works the other way around, like attracts like."

"Although we haven't entered that place yet, let's call it the Nameless Realm for now."

"Maluwan and the Nameless Realm exist at the same time, and there are special types of ghosts. Ghosts of the same kind are attracted to each other, and these two places are connected because of their similar natures."

Ah Li's explanation was simple and easy to understand. Zheng Yi was looking at the large number of personnel sent here by the special case team. "What do they have in their hands?"

Ah Yan looked in the direction of the sound and touched herself. She had actually wanted to ask for a long time but was too embarrassed to say it. Xiaogua next to her also had an electronic device about an arm's length in his hand.

"Yin Qi detector." said Ah Li.

Hearing this answer, Ah Yan's eyes widened immediately. There is such a device now? But thinking about the nature of the "Special Case Team", Ah Li, a big demon, and Xiao Lingdang, a ghost king, all work for official departments, so it is not surprising that they have developed such a machine.

"Zhuo Si entered the nameless realm in the early morning. It is hard to find the opportunity of the intersection of Yin and Yang. We don't have the same opportunity now. We can only use a clumsy method to capture the remaining life energy here, as well as the concentration of Yin energy and the different breath from the surroundings."

"In short, we need to find the remaining breath of the bridge and tear it apart along the way."

Before Ah Yan had time to nod, several people heard a sound coming from not far away.

"report--"

"The yin energy here is fluctuating abnormally."

"Sister Ah-li, please go to seat 17."

There was a sound coming from the walkie-talkie in Ah Li's hand. Ah Yan noticed that although Ding Ling told her that Ah Li was a member of the special case team, the members of the special case team here all respected him very much.

They seemed to have the same attitude towards Ding Ling. Ah Yan remembered that he seemed to have heard them call Ding Ling "Sister Lingdang" before.

Aren't ordinary affiliated personnel supposed to be called up for something and do things according to instructions?

But in the special case team, these affiliated personnel seem to be special bosses, and the on-site personnel obey their orders.

"Let's go and take a look." Ah Li led them over.

Ah Yan looked at Officer Zheng Yi who was looking down as if lost in thought, "Sister Zheng?"

She called out and Officer Zheng Yi looked over.

"I'm fine," she said.

"You two should just stop following."

In Zheng Yi's eyes, although her little informant is very useful, they are not the talented people of these special case teams after all.

"We are fine." Ah Yan looked at him and spoke to Officer Zheng Yi.

In a sense, they are the only ones who understand the current situation of each party best.

The information about Lou Yun obtained from Lu Chen and the message for help sent by Zhuo Si, the two of them were already in it.

She shook the silver bell bracelet on her hand and took out the Five Emperors' coins from her small bag.

"Don't worry, we will protect ourselves."

Ah Yan said confidently that her silver bell bracelet was given to her by Ding Ling, and Lu Chen had wanted to buy it in the canteen before.

With the blessing of the King of Ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Zheng Yi looked at what she took out and felt slightly relieved.

They followed Ah Li and arrived at the "No. 17" position that was called earlier.

"Eh?" Ah Yan couldn't help but yelled.

Here is a small temple.

It is not quite accurate to describe it as a small temple; it would be more accurate to describe it as an artificial sacrificial site.

There was yellow paper and copper coins on the ground and nearby, and there was new incense ash in the incense burner, which showed that someone had been here recently.

“This should be a small temple built by the local residents of Maluwan for the deceased,” said Ah Li.

This "small temple" is rarely seen facing the road, and there are no statues in the temple, because those who are worshipped are the dead on the road.

"Someone must have come here to worship a few days ago. The most recent incense offering was today. The scent of the young man must be Zhuo Si." Ah Li sniffed.

"He came here to offer incense to the wandering ghosts, no wonder he was chased." Zhu Jue couldn't help shaking his head.

"I wonder who set up the tablet here for the deceased." Sister A-li looked carefully.

"So that's how it is. Zhuo Si accidentally bumped into something. The one being worshipped here is a disabled deceased. The incense he offered and worshipped also attracted the disabled ghosts in the nameless realm, becoming the fuse that connects the two places."

"So that's how it is." Ah Yan seemed to be lost in thought. Zhuo Si didn't mention the matter of burning incense when he sent them a message. He probably didn't expect that this was the cause of the incident. He just watched Gui Guang run away.

Zhuo Si said that a bunch of ghosts were chasing him, maybe they were not chasing him, but his incense, or maybe these ghosts felt the changes in this place, and he ran away in a daze and ended up in a place he shouldn't have gone.

Ah Li squinted his eyes at the sky and spoke into the intercom: "Block the light."

Within five minutes after she finished speaking, Ah Yan and the others watched as the sky became covered with dark and grey clouds, the sunlight was completely blocked, and the whole world seemed to be dim.

"Oh my god." Ayan and Juejue squeezed their eyes.

“Is this the legendary cloud swallowing and mist spitting?”

It was the first time they had seen such a grand scene, and Officer Zheng Yi standing by was also slightly stunned.

"No, we don't have the ability to create clouds artificially. We just used magic to control the clouds from other airspace to come over. It seems that they have added a lot of rain-making bombs." Sister Aqi said.

The combination of magic to adjust the clouds and the rain-increasing bombs made Ah Yan open his mouth wide.

"The end of science is metaphysics," she said.

"The end of metaphysics is also science." Jue Jue replied tacitly.

After the vision darkened, it felt like a dark cloud was looming over the city.

Incense was lit again in front of the small temple, and the members of the special case team tried to use it to reconnect the two places where the incomplete ghosts existed.

It just wasn't successful.

Because they were afraid that too many strangers would disturb the ghosts, a large number of field staff had already withdrawn from the area.

Three members of the special case team came forward to pay their respects, but all failed. The atmosphere at the scene became stagnant for a moment.

"Is it because of the time?" Officer Zheng Yi asked.

Ah Li's eyes narrowed slightly. "We shouldn't do that. We have interfered with the celestial phenomena here and changed the concentration of the yin energy. Now it is close to the original environment at midnight today."

"That's a human problem?" Ah Yan guessed.

After all, Zhuo Si is a "news intern" and he is a person with a halo!

"Let me try." Police Officer Zheng Yi took a step forward, holding the prepared candle.

As smoke rose, Zheng Yi threw all the gold and silver ingots into the fire.

She slowly stood up and pointed. Ayan and Juejue blinked. Did Officer Zheng Yi see the "road"?

They watched as Officer Zheng Yi walked towards a direction where there was an invisible entrance.

"I saw it, is it that gray and black area?" Ah Yan said in a low voice.

"That should be it." said Ah Li.

"Walk."

Although Ahri still doesn't know the principle of the worshiper, it's a good thing that he can discover it.

She whistled into the intercom, and at this moment, A Yan held Jue Jue's hand and followed closely behind Officer Zheng Yi.

The view changed suddenly. The road to Maluwan was no longer visible, only a hazy mist.

"Jue Jue, Sister Zheng is missing." In the blink of an eye, Officer Zheng Yi could no longer be seen in front of Ah Yan and Zhu Jue's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm still here." Zhu Jue held her hand tightly.

"Let me check my phone." Ah Yan was calm. Although she had entered an unknown place, it was her own choice. "Sure enough, there is no signal. Maybe we have entered too deep. Zhuo Si was able to send us messages. Maybe it was because of his special identity, or maybe it was because he was still at the surface." Ah Yan guessed.

"It's hard to judge the direction here." Zhu Jue looked around and frowned.

"In horror and supernatural movies, getting separated from teammates is a taboo." Ah Yan's words were very insightful.

"Feel, let's sit down," she said.

Zhu Jue readily followed suit, and the two of them sat on the ground.

"According to what our mother taught us when we were little, if we just stay where we are, someone will definitely come find us."

"The cannon fodder in horror movies are those who act on their own initiative and act recklessly and become cannon fodder."

A Yan thought about it.

"The Halo Man can be seen as the main character in the film, Police Officer Zheng Yi may be the lucky main character, and Zhuo Si is the unlucky main character."

"We just need to hold on and believe that the lead actor will come back to save his teammates," she analyzed seriously.

Although they rarely take the initiative to "go deep into danger" like this, this time, Ayan has thought it over carefully.

Although neither he nor Jue Jue are Halo Users, they always run into Halo Users when they appear. If the special case team cannot find them, the two of them can just try their luck with their physical fitness.

"Let's sit back and wait." Zhu Jue put his arms around her waist and the two of them leaned against each other.

Although the phone has no signal, it still has power and I can clearly see the passage of time.

Without internet, Ah Yan took out the Sudoku game from his phone and started to complete the puzzles out of boredom, mumbling to himself.

"Sister A-li and the others should have come in as well. I wonder where they were assigned to."

"If Dabao and Xiaobao were here, they would probably complain that they have stopped playing Sudoku a long time ago."

“We stopped playing when we were seven years old,” Zhu Jue said.

"They were only four years old at that time." A Yan narrowed his eyes.

Before Dabao and Xiaobao came, they loved playing educational games like crosswords and Sudoku. But after being hit by the dragon and phoenix twins, they haven't played them for a long time.

When I was a child, I just wanted to grow up quickly, stay away from those two inhuman dragon and phoenix twins, and stay away from the beatings.

But if it's really far away, I'll start to miss it again.

"I miss Dabao and Xiaobao a little bit." Ah Yan said softly.

"Then let's finish our work and go home for the rest of the vacation." Juejue said.

“Aaaaaaaa——”

A strange yet familiar scream was heard, instantly breaking the original atmosphere.

A Yan and Zhu Jue raised their heads and saw a figure running quickly towards them. When he was about five meters away, the figure turned around and ran away.

After running about ten meters, he finally seemed to react and rushed in this direction again.

"Boss!"

"You are finally here!"

"Fuck!"

Zhuo Si rushed forward and braked in front of two people sitting on the ground.

With tears in his eyes, he almost fell to his knees.

Ah Yan, I feel:......

What they expected was that Officer Zheng Yi would come to them after figuring out everything, not the guy in front of them!

"I was so scared. I just saw ghosts behind you. I didn't react and just ran away."

"You guys have taken care of all this, right?" Zhuo Si said excitedly.

Ah Yan and Jue Jue's expressions froze instantly. What? What was this idiot just saying?

At this moment, a hand politely patted Zhu Jue's shoulder from behind and pointed at the mobile phone in his hand.

Zhu Jue looked back expressionlessly, then handed over his unlocked cell phone.

A few seconds later, his phone was handed back.

There is an extra line of words on the memo of this machine.

"Are you here to rescue us?"
