"One is about a mysterious cult that has emerged in the Yunnan-Guizhou border region, seemingly performing some kind of evil blood sacrifice; several people have already gone missing in the area. Another is about abnormal energy radiation detected deep in the Gobi Desert of Northwest China, raising suspicions of ancient ruins or… the emergence of a rare treasure. And yet another is right here in Sichuan, in an undeveloped area behind Mount Qingcheng, where the magnetic field has recently become abnormal.
