"… On the 23rd, we came to Dai Town, a beautiful rural town, but it was no longer as peaceful and beautiful as it used to be. It is now like a gorgeous dancer, standing on the stage, waiting for the arrival of customers one by one. "
In the small hotel, Ren Ziling stopped her fingers on the keyboard and looked at the folder named 'Ren Ziling's Book of Strange Events' on the screen. She frowned and quickly deleted the two lines of text.
She drank a cup of hot tea and went to the window, looking at the thick fog outside the town.
It was said that the fog was still spreading, and it was estimated that the town would be covered in a few days. At this time, some people in the town were worried, and many people had taken their families out to avoid the fog.
However, there were still some businessmen who stayed in the town at this time. There was no other reason, because the business opportunities were almost unlimited at this time. The travel expenses were several times higher than before, and even a bottle of water could be sold at a price comparable to a large scenic spot. Their customers were naturally the media from all sides.
Of course, it was unknown whether there were other people except for the media. However, the local town government had issued an announcement that the people here had to leave in three days at the latest.
As a reporter with dreams, Subeditor Ren didn't want to be a salted fish. This time, Subeditor Ren resolutely used her accumulated paid annual leave to come to this place with Riko and Akiko after failing to fight for a job with the boss of the newspaper office. If they didn't find anything, then they might really lose everything.
Ren Ziling rubbed her eyebrows and leaned against the window, looking at the thick fog like white clouds. Pure white, pure white, pure white.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Riko pushed the door and came in with a pot of boiled water in her hand. She complained, "Sister Ren, the boss of this hotel is too greedy. He even charges for the tap water!"
"It can't be helped." Ren Ziling shook her head, "We came late, and it's good enough that we have a place to stay … Where is Yakiko?"
Riko sat on the edge of the old single bed, "She said that she wanted to walk around outside and see if she could find anything."
At this time, the old bed made a squeaking sound, and Lizi's stomach made a rumbling sound. She had eaten all her food on the way and had no time to replenish it.
What was worse, the unscrupulous Subeditor Ren exploited Lizi's savings crazily and unscrupulously in the name of reimbursement all the way.
Ren Ziling sat down again and pretended that she didn't hear the cooing sound. She said nonchalantly, "You're really proactive."
In fact, she didn't want to take Ya Kiko with her at first, but Ya Kiko accidentally heard her and Riko discussing this matter. She showed great interest and took the initiative to ask to go with them.
Although Subeditor Ren's life was very safe, she was unexpectedly a guy who liked to guide newbies. After proposing the condition of paying her own expenses, Subeditor Ren happily brought this newbie with her.
"Maybe he found the awareness of being a reporter?" Lizi lay on the bed with her arms and legs wide open. She stared blankly at the ceiling … So hungry …
Suddenly, Lizi seemed to smell something. She sat up at once and said with her eyes shining, "Sister Ren, what are you eating? It's so fragrant!"
At this moment, Ren Ziling was pinching a wax pill in her hand, and then swallowing the thing inside into her mouth and drinking water.
"Wuji Baifeng Pill." Ren Ziling threw the crushed wax pill into the trash can, "It was sent by Luoqiu. He said that it was a New Year's gift and he wouldn't come back on New Year's Day … Oh my god! Why do I feel like I've aged 20 years in an instant when he gave me this toy during the New Year? If I didn't feel better after eating it, I wouldn't eat it! "
"Speaking of which, Sister Ren, is your skin much better recently?" Lizi looked at Ren Ziling from head to toe, "You feel younger? Do you still have Baifeng Pill? I often eat it. "
"Go away!" Ren Ziling pushed Lizi with her palm, "I finished the last one. Do you want the wax pill?"
"Stingy …" Lizi lay back on the bed pitifully like a caterpillar.
Ren Ziling felt that Lizi was not like a human being. She shook her head and began to wear her boots … Even a newcomer was working hard to dig for information, she couldn't fall behind!
"Lizi, let's go out to ask for information … Lizi! What do you want to eat? "
"It's so fragrant, strawberry flavor …"
At this time, Li Zi was biting a piece of pink rubber with a film in her mouth and chewing it.
Ren Ziling suddenly shivered and rushed to Lizi, "Lizi, wake up! Don't eat this thing with your mouth!! "
Ren Ziling pulled the pink rubber film and wanted to take it out of Lizi's mouth — but this thing was too elastic. They pulled and stretched it more than 10 centimeters.
"Lizi, give it to me!!" Ren Ziling said loudly!
"I don't care … Let me chew it!"
"Give it to me!!"
The pulling continued.
At this moment, the door was pushed open excitedly. At the same time, a voice sounded, speaking with a Japanese accent and not very fluent Chinese, "Sister Ren, I found someone who can be interviewed …?"
Ya Kiko blinked her eyes. Ren Ziling looked at Ya Kiko blinking her eyes and blinked her eyes subconsciously. Her hand suddenly loosened, and the pink rubber band suddenly retracted and bounced directly onto Ya Kiko's nose.
She cried in pain, "I don't eat with my nose …"
"Wait, Yagiko …" Ren Ziling opened her mouth.
"I … I'll wait for you outside!"
At this time, Yagiko quickly closed the door and then came the sound of footsteps downstairs.
Ren Ziling froze for a moment and then sat down. She sadly took out a pack of women's cigarettes, lit it, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke. Through the glass window, the smoke seemed to be integrated with the thick fog outside the town.
Subeditor Ren said softly, "Damn …"
…
…
Deep in the thick fog, Yan Xiaoxi almost lost communication with the outside world — Although the backup could come by foot, it was too inefficient.
Because all electronic devices could not be used, even the research of the jade dragon pillars had to be temporarily stopped … They could only rely on manpower to transmit information back and forth, which greatly limited the actions of the Administration.
Under such restrictions, the third, fourth, and fifth Jade Dragon Pillars had already appeared without a sound.
Fortunately, the appearance of the fifth jade dragon pillar had allowed Mr. Blind to successfully calculate the possible location of the sixth jade dragon pillar.
At this time, Crouching Dragon Villa had released thunderbolts through Taoist techniques and temporarily converted them into electricity to maintain the daily infrastructure.
Since the battle on the hillside last time, the remaining people of both sides were not as enthusiastic as before — At this time, less than half of the people came to the conference room.
The people of both sides who were doubtful didn't leave Crouching Dragon Villa, but there was a trend of not putting in effort.
Su Mubai and Madame Purple Star would attend every meeting.
"According to our calculations, the sixth Jade Dragon Pillar is likely to appear in these three places."
At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi was marking the locations that Mr. Blind had deduced on the map. Upon sight of the three locations, Purple Star could not help but frown and ask, "Section Chief Yan Xiaoxi, how did you deduce these locations?"
"The Administration also has talents who are proficient in arrays and calculations. We used a large number of computers outside the fog to calculate these three places," Yan Xiaoxi said indifferently at this time.
"Chief Yan." After a moment of silence, Zixing said, "Let's not care about the intentions of the 71st generation Tian Xin … Should we be more honest?"
Yan Xiaoxi frowned, "Young Master Zixing, what do you mean?"
At this time, Zixing said in a deep voice, "I heard that Crouching Dragon Villa was attacked some time ago … However, the attackers were dressed in black and wore bronze masks. There were a total of three of them, and two of them were killed. Is that true?"
"It's true," Yan Xiaoxi said expressionlessly.
At this time, Zixing said again, "In fact, the two so-called assassins who were killed actually committed suicide. Is that true?"
"It's true."
Zixing's eyes narrowed, "And these two men of sacrifice were among the group of Dao Demons who opposed you that day and left. Is that true?"
"It's true."
"Chief Yan, why have you been hiding this matter?" Zixing said coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that my clan still has some resources, Chief Yan would have been planning to keep it a secret, right?"
"In order to prevent unnecessary panic, I gave the order to keep this matter a secret." Yan Xiaoxi looked straight at Zixing, then at Daoist Priest Su Mubai, "The two of you, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. I don't know what the consequences will be if this news spreads, so the best way now is to hide it. "
"Yan Xiaoxi." Zixing said in a deep voice, "I'm staying here entirely for the sake of that 'agreement', but I'm not the target of your sweet words … Perhaps after your Administration has those advanced weapons, you think that you can handle all of this without the support of other parties."
"The two of you, the most important thing now is not to quarrel, but to stop this as soon as possible." Su Mubai hurriedly said at this time, "This thick fog has been spreading, and no one knows how much it will cover. I believe that the outside is now a mess. I'm afraid that no matter how much force the country exerts, it will be difficult to cover up this matter. So, Chief Yan, I think Young Master Zixing is right … It's not that we don't want to cooperate, we just hope that we can get the most basic respect. "
Yan Xiaoxi took a deep breath, and after a while, she said, "I suspect that among the Dao Demons, there are probably many who have followed Tian Xin for seventy-one generations."
Zixing and Su Mubai looked at each other.
Zixing frowned and said, "But, when we were caught in the fake cave abode?"
Yan Xiaoxi said, "I'm afraid, including the two of you, among this batch of Dao Demons who were caught, many of them were 'willing'. This can very well explain why Tian Xin for seventy-one generations could catch so many Dao Demons silently. Indifferently, this is just a speculation based on the current information, and it may not be accurate. But if it's accurate … "
"But if it's accurate, we don't even know how many people in Crouching Dragon Villa are … our own people." Su Mubai continued and then smiled bitterly, "Under such circumstances, even the people around you may actually be … This is indeed a very bad situation."
Su Mubai looked at Zixing, and his meaning was very clear … You, Young Master Zixing, may also be one of Tian Xin for seventy-one generations.
The meeting room suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, Zixing sighed and said in a low voice, "Can we win this battle?"
Yan Xiaoxi was about to speak, but at this time, a person from the Administration hurried in. This person looked very serious, but there was surprise in his eyes. "Section Chief, we received a message from Captain Ling Feng!"
Yan Xiaoxi, Su Mubai, and Zixing instantly stood up!
…
…
The place where they appeared was near Dai Town.
The people who appeared were the agents from the Administration led by Captain Ling Feng, as well as Cang Jinshui and Qu Xinghe. Due to the obstruction of communication, it was already half a day later when the news reached Yan Xiaoxi.
Then, it took almost another half a day before Yan Xiaoxi and the others set off from Crouching Dragon Villa and rushed to Dai Town to meet up with Captain Ling Feng and the others who came out of the Penglai Treasure Vault.
They had been missing for almost half a month. In this half a month, the outside world was in turmoil. Now that they had returned, it really made everyone excited — especially when Cang Jinshui and Qu Xinghe of the Four Heavenly Spirits of the Demon Race returned.
"That's it."
That night, everyone met up. Captain Ling Feng pointed to an empty space behind the granary. "We came out from this place. However, after all of us left, the passage disappeared. However, President Baijie seems to still be working hard. It's very likely that more of our people will come out from here … Of course, this is just my speculation. "
Dr. Zhao, who came with the team, hurriedly asked people to set up all kinds of instruments and surrounded the place where Captain Ling Feng pointed.
Captain Ling Feng, Cang Jinshui, and the others also told everyone what they had experienced in the Penglai Treasure Vault — the terrifying things about Gaia.
Their narration made Yan Xiaoxi and the others who had rushed over feel a chill down their backs. When there was such a place in the world, which had the power to destroy almost all the elites of the Demon Race and the Demon Race in an instant … its degree of despair seemed to be much more terrifying than their current opponent, the Tianxin 71 generation.
"What's this?"
Unlike Yan Xiaoxi and the others who couldn't digest this shocking news, Dr. Zhao looked curiously at the thing in an agent's hand.
"This was taken out from inside. There are some other things over there."
As he spoke, the agent waved a short metal stick in his hand.
The metal stick shot out a beam of light in an instant — the agent used the beam of light to hit the big rock next to him, and the big rock was instantly cut in half.
