"Shi Yu, did Tong Ye mention anything about the missing picture?"
Gu Jun rummaged through the box but he could not find any information about the stone statue.
"Tong Ye said that the things that you can't find are things that he doesn't think are suitable for you to see. They might be scarier than the Nightmare Illness."
Wu Shiyu said as she sat on the sofa.
"Actually, you brought the complete information with you, right?" Gu Jun looked at her. They were not mentally connected but he could guess it. He said seriously, "I need you to contact Tong Ye immediately, I want to see that statue! If we don't see the key details, we won't get anything. "
"Dirty-minded Jun, I knew you would say that." Wu Shiyu tilted her head and shrugged. "You're such a stubborn person, but Tong Ye insisted on trying."
She stood up slowly and walked out. "Then you should stop for a while. But I know you won't stop, so we'll leave it to fate. "
"Dirty-minded Yu, you're right." Gu Jun continued to read through the information.
At the time, Phecda was confused by Liu Daze's statement that he knew where they were buried.
The martyrs symbolize the missing children? Both shared the same fate? The missing children would be sacrificed to the stone statue they worshipped?
Just as the speculation was running wild, Tong Ye found a strange picture among the items he found at Liu Daze's house.
At this moment, Gu Jun was staring at this old and yellowed picture, and his mind started to wander …
In the picture, Liu Daze was standing inside a forest. His face was blurred out and the shadows of the trees around him were twisted and twisted, forming some strange shapes.
At the time, Tong Ye recognized this forest and believed it was Xiong Lin Mountain at the northwest of Guang Ting City.
The Phoenix team's journey into the mountainous Xiong Lin Mountain was another beginning.
What really happened in the Bear Forest Mountain was still shrouded in mystery.
The file specifically stated that during the last S value assessment before entering the mountain, Tong Ye's mental state was evaluated as' too much pressure, needs rest '. Tong Ye believed that the stone statue had affected his mental state. Many people in the team were in the same situation. Dr. Shen Xuan, who was the team's psychiatrist and leader, had reported the team's abnormal anxiety. However, at the time, it did not attract much attention. After all, it was normal for the Special Mobile Force to be stressed and anxious.
Phew. Gu Jun furrowed his brows as he opened another box. This box contained the reports of the 62 Phoenix members.
As for the other 43 team members, they had all sacrificed their lives during the mission into the mountains. There were also autopsy reports.
In order not to be influenced by his own subjectivity, Gu Jun randomly picked out a report and read it, then another one, gradually piecing together the situation at that time.
Due to the backward conditions back then and the complicated environment of Xiong Lin Mountain, communications were cut off not long after the Phoenix team entered the mountain.
When they went deeper into the forest, something even worse happened.
"The fog suddenly appeared," Firepower member Zhang He said in his report. Zhang He, the firepower member, said in his report, "This kind of mountain forest has always been foggy, so we didn't pay attention at first. However, the visibility soon dropped to less than a meter. We couldn't see where the others were, but we heard some strange noises …"
Regarding the description of the noises, everyone had different explanations. Dr. Shen's report said, "It was an auditory hallucination. Each of us heard a different sound."
Under the cover of the fog, they all realized that they had lost their way. The walkie-talkie had lost its function, and they were surrounded by blurry shadows of trees.
"Suddenly, there was a bang, and then I heard the first gunshot." Zhu Zhanrong, the researcher, said. The report recorded that her body was shivering as she recounted the events. She was suppressing the obvious fear in her voice. "Then, there was the sound of gunshots everywhere, and then there was a scream that I couldn't tell who it was …"
At the time, it was chaos. There were gunshots, and there was a 'shadow' hidden in the fog.
They all saw the black shadow, but their descriptions of the shape of the black shadow were different.
Some said it was a human figure, some said it was a giant shadow, and some said it was a tree branch or a beast …
"That was a spell." Tong Ye said in his report. "I don't think it was a shadow with a physical existence. It was our minds that were bewitched."
At the time, there were three members who had not been separated from Tong Ye. Dr. Shen was one of them, the firepower member, Zhang Zhijian, and the investigator, Fang Jianrong.
All three of them said the same thing. The most important point was that Tong Ye did not fire the gun, and he was not in those positions.
Later, the identification of the bullet marks showed that of the forty-three members who had been shot, nineteen had been killed by Tong Ye's rifle.
"No wonder …" Gu Jun suddenly understood why Tong Ye had not been trusted back then.
The file showed that this was the main reason Phecda had put a question mark on Tong Ye's story.
At the time, the most logical deduction was that Tong Ye had suffered a mental breakdown in the fog due to his low S value, which led to this tragedy. But that could not explain the testimony. There was a possibility that the four of them had colluded, but it was impossible for a gun to kill someone at multiple places that were so far apart at the same time.
Therefore, the arbitration department's final decision was that the evidence was insufficient and the verdict was temporarily suspended. However, Tong Ye was forced to retire.
At the time, the disappearance of Tong Ye and Dr. Shen at Xiong Linshan was a watershed moment. Dr. Shen said, "We were all under a mental attack. It was sudden and explosive. One second, we were very conscious, and the next second, we were muddled."
When the three of them came back to themselves, Tong Ye had already disappeared. Then, their story was that they stayed where they were to defend against a tree until the fog receded. Then, they started to clean up the mess.
And in Tong Ye's report …
"I heard a call, and I walked toward it in a daze. It was completely out of my control." That was how Tong Ye had described it, and now Gu Jun understood what it felt like. "I didn't know where I was, but I saw a group of people in black in the fog. They were wearing masks, and there were about ten of them. They were looking at me.
"There was an old Taoist among them. He didn't seem to be wearing a mask, but his face was obscured by the fog. I said he was a Taoist because I had a feeling that … the old man was not a normal person. He had supernatural power … "
Gu Jun's heart sank as he read through Tong Ye's words. He could feel the confusion and a trace of fear in them.
"The old Taoist told me that they had been waiting for my arrival."
