Professor Li is putting it mildly.

Gu Chen's expression was solemn: "Professor Li, don't worry, if you have any questions, say it slowly." ”

"I didn't know how to talk about it. Professor Li paused on the phone for a few seconds, and suddenly said in a trance: "There are two members of our scientific expedition team, which seems to be a little abnormal. ”

"What do you mean...... Misbehaving abnormally?" Gu Chen asked.

"No...... No. Professor Li suddenly denied it, and said, "They ...... They seem to be sick, but ...... But it's not like that. ”

"Do I need to help you contact the hospital?" Gu Chen asked again.

Professor Li seemed to have been hesitating, and replied to the question a little, and immediately said: "Maybe not for the time being, if the situation worsens, let's talk about it." ”

The more Gu Chen listened, the more confused he became......

At this time, Qi Tian on the side also felt a little incredible, and stepped forward to ask about the situation: "A call from the scientific expedition team?"

Gu Chen moved away from the phone and said: "Yes, Professor Li of the scientific expedition team called, it seems that something strange happened at the base, and two members of the scientific expedition team are in some states, but Professor Li has no plans to send him to the hospital for the time being, and wants us to go over." ”

"That's right. Qi Tian touched the newly grown stubble, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "You tell him that we will be there soon, so that they don't worry." ”

"Okay. Gu Chen nodded, picked up the phone again and said, "Professor Li, you are waiting for us there, don't worry, we will be there soon." ”

"Then I have to thank you. ”

After a few brief greetings, the two hung up the phone.

At this time, many old comrades who came to work walked into the office, but saw Gu Chen and Qi Tian put on their equipment again.

The old comrade Officer Tan couldn't help but say, "Eh, I said Gu Chen, Great Sage, where are you two going?"

"Something happened to the scientific expedition team, and I went over with Senior Brother Qi to see the situation. Gu Chen walked as he spoke, and quickly ran out of the building.

"Something happened to the scientific expedition team?" Officer Tan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "But aren't the two of them off work?

Just thinking about it, the siren outside the window suddenly sounded, and Gu Chen drove away directly.

It didn't take long for them to come to the outskirts of the uninhabited village.

Several security personnel were chatting outside the cordon.

Seeing the police car coming, they gave way to both sides of the road.

Gu Chen parked the car at the door of an old mansion, which was the place where the scientific expedition team had packed up for Professor Li to rest and work.

As soon as I got out of the car, I found Professor Li standing at the door, his face also solemn.

"What's wrong, Professor Li?" asked Gu Chen as he got out of the car.

The current Professor Li is completely different from yesterday's Professor Li, at least in terms of mental state.

"Officer Gu, Officer Qi, you will know with me. Professor Li didn't say anything, just lowered his head and walked silently towards another ancient mansion.

Pushing open the door, Professor Li gave up a position and said: "Normally, at this time, they would have gotten up to work early, but from today to now, they have been following the devil and have not woken up from sleep. ”

"That's easy to do. Qi Tian also snorted, and said in his heart that Professor Li was stumped for this little thing?

Scientific research and excavation work is hard, that's for sure......

Yesterday was a lot of work, and it's normal to not be able to get out of bed today, isn't it?

A closer look shows that sleeping on the beds side by side are Professor Li's assistant Xiao Zhang, and Professor Peng's assistant Xiao He.

Qi Tian walked to Xiao Zhang's side first, stretched out his slap and slapped Xiao Zhang's face back and forth: "Get up, get up, your master can't be busy, do you hear when you get up?" ”

At first, Qi Tian thought it was a trivial matter, but after patting, he found that Xiao Zhang, who was lying on the bed, couldn't wake up no matter how he patted, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

"What's going on?" Gu Chen on the side said.

Qi Tian was also stunned: "I...... I don't know what's going on?"

Then Gu Chen rushed to Xiao Zhang's side and observed his breath and pulse, but found that everything was normal again.

Qi Tian was unwilling, and snapped Xiao He's face a few times, and he couldn't afford to call this snooze Xiao He.

"It's weird. Qi Tian was really stunned at this time: "What's wrong with these two people? Wasn't it okay yesterday?"

"I don't know what the situation is, yesterday these two people were really fine, but today ...... Today they are like dead people, lying motionless in bed, I thought these two people were snooze, but later I found that they couldn't wake up, and it felt really evil. ”

"It must be evil, it must be. At this time, everyone realized that Professor Wang's assistant Ah Fu was standing at the door at the moment, looking at Xiao Zhang and Xiao He with stunned eyes.

"Ah Fu, why don't you go to work, what are you doing here?" Professor Li couldn't help but say when he saw this.

Ah Fu shook his head and said with a solemn face: "Professor Li, this ...... This place is really evil, I asked the residents in the vicinity, and they all said that this village was built here is unlucky, and it is always a disaster. ”

"You think, if this place is inhabitable, then why did they relocate? Why are there ancient tombs here? Maybe all those who died by the plague were buried underground, and they died of the plague. ”

"Look at this feng shui layout again. Ah Fu suddenly pointed to the nearby mountains and said, "Judging from this kind of terrain, the place where the village is located must be a dead place, and it is a complete mistake to build here." ”

"I said a long time ago, there must be a curse here, you don't believe it, now Xiao Zhang and Xiao He are unconscious, how do you explain this?"

"Enough. Professor Li also slapped the table and said angrily: "Ah Fu, don't lie here to confuse the public, you have to believe in science, what kind of ghost curse?

"I ......"

Ah Fu wanted to quibble again, but Professor Li angrily replied: "Ah Fu, do you still want to do it? Your mortgage and car loan, don't you need money for these things? If you don't want to do it, get out of here." ”

was also angry with Ah Fu and had a liver ache.

Originally, Professor Li, as the leader and person in charge of the excavation base, had a lot of burden.

Thinking about the press conference in a few days, as well as the progress of the work on the spot, Professor Li did not want to be messed up.

But Ah Fu ran to say some inexplicable curses at this time, which Professor Li couldn't accept.

"Alas, if you don't listen to me, sooner or later you will suffer. Ah Fu also put on a very helpless look, sighed and left.

"This Ah Fu is a little interesting!" Gu Chen was also a little puzzled by the conversation between the two.

Professor Li shook his head and said: "This Ah Fu has no culture, because he has worked as a small worker in Professor Wang's hands before, and was discovered by Professor Wang, and he is very good at excavating cultural relics, so he was trained by Professor Wang to be an assistant, but he talks about some gods and ghosts and other things all day long, which is very headache." ”

"You also know that the most taboo thing in our archaeological profession is these false theories, and if we talk about these things all day long, isn't that cursing ourselves? ”

"Professor Li, don't worry, maybe these two people may be really tired, or I'll call a doctor to come and take a look later, if there is no big problem, then forget it, just come over and check your body, if there is something, then just take it away for treatment, do you think it's okay?"

Qi Tian was comforting Professor Li while giving his own opinion.

Professor Li was helpless, he was also a little overwhelmed now, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation.

And Gu Chen was carefully studying the situation of the two of them at the moment.

Although there are basic characteristics of various methods of death in Forensic Doctor Liu's handwritten notes, they do not exist here.

The assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He were just asleep, and judging from the state of the two, there was nothing suspicious.

"Gu Chen, have you found anything wrong?" Qi Tian turned around and asked Gu Chen after discussing countermeasures with Professor Li.

"Not really. Gu Chen stood up, sighed and said, "It's the first time I've encountered this kind of state, both of them are in good condition, but they look weird, let's let the doctor come over and take a look later." ”

"That's fine, that's the way it goes. Professor Li couldn't come up with a better solution, so he could only reluctantly agree.

With a fruitless police situation, Gu Chen drove Qi Tian back to the Haitang Police Station.

Everybody's busy.

Since Gu Chen and Qi Tian were on night duty last night, the two of them had a vacation during the day.

Qi Tian chose to go back to the dormitory to sleep, while Gu Chen chose to drive to the Jiangnan City Library to find medical books to read.

However, the situation of Xiao Zhang and Xiao He in the uninhabited village of Haitang Town is very rare.

Gu Chen was busy from the afternoon to the evening, but there was still no result, so he could only drive back to the Haitang Police Station again.

It's another morning.

When Gu Chen and Qi Tian finished breakfast and returned to the Haitang Police Station again, the landline in the office rang again.

This time, Gu Chen and Qi Tian both chose to be silent for a few seconds, as if both of them had a sense of foreboding.

"Gu Chen, you go pick it up. Qi Tiandao sitting on the sofa.

"No problem. Gu Chen stepped forward and pressed the speakerphone: "Hello, this is the duty room of the Haitang Police Station, how can I help you?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then I heard Professor Li's trembling voice: "Yes...... Is it Officer Gu, right? ”

"Oh?" Gu Chen was stunned and looked back at Qi Tian.

At this moment, Qi Tian is the same as himself, his eyes are also confused, and he feels that it should not be a good thing.

"Shouldn't there be another situation on your side, right?Did Mr. Zhang and Mr. He wake up?" asked Gu Chen.

Professor Li said helplessly: "No, I haven't woken up since yesterday." ”

"Haven't woken up yet?" Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and asked again: "Then did any doctors go over yesterday?"

"Yes, yes. Professor Li hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "The doctor said that there was no problem, but he didn't know what the situation was, and he couldn't wake up. ”

Qi Tian felt unreasonable, and asked: "Then send these two people to the big hospital in the city and see what the doctor over there says." ”

"I have this idea too, but ...... But the point is. Professor Li wanted to speak and stopped, and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "But the key is that early this morning, the logistics driver Master Xiao also began to wake up, and his symptoms are exactly the same as Xiao Zhang and Xiao He." ”

"What...... What??Master Xiao was also unconscious?" Qi Tian was also stunned for a moment, feeling that the whole person was stunned.

Two yesterday, one today, what the hell is going on?

Gu Chen on the side hurriedly asked, "Then how is the archaeological base now?"

"What else can I do?" Professor Li also said helplessly: "Now that the entire excavation base has stopped, everyone doesn't know who will be next, everyone is starting to panic, it feels like a curse, a few small workers have quit, and those who stay...... I didn't dare to continue the construction. ”

"It's so serious?" Gu Chen was also surprised.

A drowsiness storm caused so many things, which completely exceeded his expectations.

"Then how can you not start work? Your press conference time has been notified in advance, do you want to cancel it temporarily?" Qi Tian was also anxious about the scientific expedition team.

"I don't know what to do, so I don't dare tell anyone else, but I've ordered all the people working at the archaeological base not to spread the news, lest it be over-interpreted. ”

Across the phone, both Gu Chen and Qi Tian could feel the helplessness and helplessness in Professor Li's heart.

"You wait, we'll get there. Gu Chen pressed the hang up button, turned around and said directly: "Senior Brother Qi, it seems that this is not an accidental incident, I think there must be something strange in this." ”

"You mean...... Artificial?" Qi Tian asked.

"That's right, I'm sure it's man-made, because it can't be such a coincidence. "Gu Chen has never believed in evil.

Contact the situation of Xiao Zhang and Xiao He, the assistants of the previous day, plus today's driver, Master Xiao.

It seems to be a sign that something else is to come.

didn't have time to think about it, Gu Chen drove to the uninhabited village again.

Unlike yesterday, today's uninhabited village seems to show no signs of work.

Everyone sat in groups in the front and back of the house, and many people were packing their luggage, as if they wanted to leave.

Gu Chen parked the car at the door of Professor Li's residence again, got out of the car and asked a staff member, "Where is Professor Li?"

"The room. The staff pointed to an old house.

"Thank you. Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he ran quickly with Qi Tian.

At the door of the old mansion at this moment, Professor Li sat alone on the threshold, holding his head in his hands, as if he was contemplating or waiting.

"Professor Lee. Qi Tian was the first to walk over.

Professor Li raised his head, pointed to the inside of the room, and said, "The people are inside, you can go in and see for yourself." ”

Qi Tian glanced back at Gu Chen, and the two hurriedly walked into the house.

Like yesterday's assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He, today's driver, Master Xiao, is also lying on his bed at the moment.

"You can't wake up, can you?" Gu Chen turned around and asked Professor Li.

"That's right, the same as yesterday. Professor Li was haggard, and his speech became weak.

Originally, when everyone first entered the uninhabited village a few days ago, everyone had smiles on their faces.

But that's all changed now......

One after another, there were scientific expedition team members who had such strange symptoms, which made the originally confident scientific expedition team seem to lose their fighting spirit overnight.

Qi Tian frowned and said, "I suggest that the construction be stopped immediately, and the surrounding situation must be investigated." ”

"Officer Qi. Professor Li couldn't help but smile bitterly twice and said, "Now you don't need to say it, they won't do it anymore." ”

"In order to protect everyone's safety, I have ordered everyone to stop what they are doing and wait quietly for the police to investigate. ”

"Now there are some people who are ready to pack up and go home, and many people are afraid to stay here anymore. ”

They don't know when this strange bad luck will befall them. ”

Seeing that Gu Chen had been staring at him, Professor Li simply stood up, walked up to Gu Chen, and said, "Officer Gu, do you know? When people know that they are going to die tomorrow, they will have nothing to fear, because it is bad luck that cannot be escaped. ”

"On the contrary, when people don't know what the bad luck will be tomorrow, it will be a very scary existence. ”

This kind of fear will make people lose their fighting spirit, lose their denial of the truth they have believed in in the past, just like ...... Just like him. ”

Professor Li suddenly pointed to Ah Fu, who was spreading the curse to people not far away, and said, "Just like this Ah Fu, he has always believed in the existence of curses, and at first everyone thought he was talking nonsense. ”

"But now everyone is starting to be afraid, because Ah Fu's curse seems to be being fulfilled, and everyone is beginning to turn from disbelief to believing, and I can no longer command the people to continue their work. ”

"It's a mess of sand right now, people are in discord, everyone is thinking about getting out of this damn place, what do you think I can do?"

Listening to Professor Li's helpless appeal, Qi Tian's face darkened at that time, and he said angrily: "It must be this Ah Fu, I'll go find him and ask him." ”

After Qi Tian finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly towards a big tree.

"I'm going to check it out, too. Gu Chen didn't dare to slack off, and directly followed in three steps and two steps.

At this moment, under the big tree, Ah Fu was still chattering in front of everyone.

"I tell you, it's really unlucky here, the feng shui is not good, there must be a curse here, believe me, let's quickly find a reason to ask for leave to leave, this place can't stay, really...... Huh, huh?"

Ah Fu wanted to continue, but Qi Tian grabbed him by the collar and walked back directly.

"Eh, Officer Qi, are you ...... What are you doing here? Don't pull my clothes, Officer Qi, you're an assistant. ”

Qi Tiancai ignored it, and directly dragged Ah Fu in front of Professor Li like a little piglet.

And the people who listened to Ah Fu's bewitchment just now were also confused at the moment, and they began to discuss it for some reason.

"What is this police officer doing to arrest Ah Fu?"

"I don't know, Ah Fu has committed an accident?"

"Does this have anything to do with Ah Fu?"

"I don't know, why don't you go and have a look?"

"So what are you waiting for? ”

Many people put down what they were holding and followed Ah Fu to Professor Li.

"Ah Fu, are you making trouble in this matter?" Qi Tian shook Ah Fu hard and asked him directly angrily.
