Walking into the mining area, you can see dozens of excavators parked there, not working.

Seeing Shen Jianguo and others coming, Zhou Rui, the person in charge of the mining area, immediately greeted him.

Zhou Rui, Zhou Xiong's cousin, although he is not as trusted by Shen Jianguo as Zhou Xiong, he has also been with Shen Jianguo for some years. Now he is in charge of the mine.

Shen Jianguo took the lead in inquiring about the situation, "Zhou Rui, what's going on?"

"Mr. Shen. Zhou Rui said while leading everyone to the temporary office, "This is a bit of a long story, let's go to the office and talk." ”

"Yes. ”

Zhang Xuanzhen carried a slender wooden box on his back, which naturally contained his slashing sword. He looked around and frowned slightly, "Mr. Shen, I'll walk around by myself." ”

Shen Jianguo didn't know what Zhang Xuanzhen's intentions were, and it was inconvenient to ask more, he could call himself "Mr. Shen" in front of outsiders to give him enough face, he was here to help the Seven Star Group, and he had no relationship with his superiors.

"Good. ”

Zhou Rui took Shen Jianguo, Shen Bingtong and Xia Xue to the office, made tea, and began to report the situation here carefully.

This mine was excavated in February, jadeite is different from oil and metal ore, a large piece of jadeite is dug up, jadeite rough does have veins, but there are also many scattered distribution, so in the mining process, basically excavation and mining at the same time.

Put simply, the excavator digs deep and the miners look for rough stone in the nearby rubble.

In the first ten days, everyone just found some scattered small rough stones, but this is also normal, jadeite has been sold for so many years, and there are few exposed ones, and it is easier to find the veins by digging deep enough.

"At first, there was nothing out of the ordinary, although it didn't gain much, but after all, this is just the beginning. Zhou Rui said, "But later, it was about March 2nd, yes, it was March 2nd, I remember very clearly, before dawn that day, someone knocked on my door frantically, saying that a worker died in our shed!"

It seems that Zhou Rui still remembers this incident vividly, and he still remembers it very clearly after more than ten days.

According to Zhou Rui, he immediately contacted the local hospital and the police, but the miner had already lost his breath, and the role of the hospital was actually to collect the body.

Strangely, the worker was living with seven other people, and during the investigation, all seven of them said that there was nothing unusual about them, because they could not work at night, and they had to get up early the next day, and everyone rested at eight o'clock in the evening, and when they woke up, they found that the person was dead.

The police did not find any valuable clues in the shed, but only brought the body of the deceased back to the forensic department for further research.

After this incident, although there was a lot of uproar in the mining area, there were rumors of love killings, vendettas, and everything, but for most of them, their attitude was still none of their business, and after a few people in the same house moved to another dormitory, they temporarily resumed work.

However, what no one expected was that a week after the incident, there would be another homicide on the construction site, and this time, two people died at once!

It was a small dormitory, occupied by only two people, and unlike the serenity of the first victim's death, their faces remained extremely distorted at the time of their deaths, and there seemed to be signs of a fight in the room.

But the strange thing is that the surrounding workers actually said that they didn't hear any strange sounds.

It stands to reason that the battle of life and death is still two people, even if ordinary people meet warriors, you will at least shout if you can't fight.

What's more, judging from the degree of chaos in the room, it is not that they died without any resistance, on the contrary, the pots and pans, tables, chairs, and beds in the room are messy, and there must have been a fierce physical conflict, and as a result, everyone else said that they didn't hear a sound?

The proximity of the sheds on the construction site and the lack of sound insulation are obviously unconscionable.

The police investigation is again deadlocked.

Zhou Rui saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Now he is well aware of the situation of the Seven Star Group, since the disappearance of the group's chief warrior, the Seven Star Group is experiencing unprecedented pressure.

When reporting to Shen Jianguo, Zhou Rui temporarily said that he would deal with it.

Subsequently, Zhou Rui contacted the military and asked for more guarding work in his mining area, and also to stabilize the morale of the workers.

At the same time, Zhou Rui specially organized some workers to stop mining work and change to night shifts, responsible for patrolling the camp at night.

Thanks to a number of measures, the mood of the workers has finally stabilized a little.

However, the good times did not last long, and just this morning, there were three more victims in the shack area! The number of victims climbed to six!

Zhou Rui finally panicked, he already knew that he couldn't handle this matter anymore.

Subsequently, what is even more bizarre is that in the mountains behind the mining area, someone found the seventh body...

After calling the police at the first time, Zhou Rui had to report to Shen Jianguo again.

Hearing what Zhou Rui said, Shen Jianguo frowned, "The police haven't found out anything at all? Seven people have died, how can there be no trace left?"

Zhou Rui could only shake his head, "Due to the relationship between the **MA Organizing Committee, the local government attaches great importance to our project, and if such a big thing happens, their leaders have personally inquired about it, and the police have indeed helped, but there is still no progress." ”

Shen Jianguo is really big now, the Seven Star Group is already very dangerous now, and Zhang Xuanzhen is about to leave in a month, if Mu Qinghan doesn't come back at that time, he will no longer be able to support such a big enterprise.

A large group without a warrior is not a fat meat on the table that everyone can take a bite of?

Now there's something going on.

Shen Bingtong also looked solemn, according to Zhou Rui, this is really a bit unbelievable.

Six people died in the work shed area, and no one found anything unusual? There are armed military patrols on the periphery, and there are patrols organized by themselves inside...

Surprisingly, Xia Xue was also involved, Mu Qinghan was not there, she needed to be stronger, stronger than before.

She didn't want to wait for the day when Mu Qinghan came back and see a mess.

Although she is becoming more and more unsure whether Mu Qinghan will be able to come back, but... That's the only thing she can do now.

"Have you seen any strange people or strange things happen here lately? ”

Zhou Rui thought about it and shook his head.

Xia Xue frowned, "No? If you think about it carefully, don't you think it's strange? Our preparatory work here began the year before last, the survey work was completed last year, and the real mining was in February this year, that is to say, we have been here for two years, and there have been no problems, but in March, there were seven murders in a row. ”

"By the way, have you been hiring workers lately?"

Xia Xue's words immediately reminded Shen Jianguo and Shen Bingtong.

"Yes, Sister Xia Xue is right, it has been very peaceful before, but after the real excavation, there was a homicide here, so it is likely that there is a problem in your new recruit. ”

Shen Jianguo shook his head, "I can't say that, I think there should be a lot of people who are eyeing this mine, since October last year, there have been people who have obstructed our project, and it is not ruled out that someone is secretly doing evil." It's just that they just chose to do it at this time. ”

Zhou Rui shook his head, "Miss Xia Xue, eldest lady, I'm sure I don't have any new recruits, the workers here, the latest batch, were also recruited in August last year, because they have to build temporary accommodation, so they have been working here for a long time." ”

"But..."Zhou Rui suddenly frowned, "Strange people, I really haven't seen it, but strange things, there is one thing recently." ”

............

Zhang Xuanzhen walked around the mining area alone, this mining area is very large, the total area is not easy to estimate, but it includes two not small mountains, but the mountains here are not covered with vegetation, the eyes are full of green, people come and go all the year round, so that the ground here is only a layer of low grass, and a lot of ground has exposed dry soil.

At this time, the perimeter of the area was completely pulled up by barbed wire, and the ground where the main mining area is currently being dug like a body-shaped step, dry earth, covered with dust.

There are two hills, it seems that the engineering team is currently developing one, and the other has not been touched yet.

Looking back and forth, Zhang Xuanzhen suddenly found that in the low-lying area between the two mountains, there was actually an excavation truck parked there.

The car was parked there alone, motionless, there was no one in the cab, and in front of it, a pit was dug.

Immediately, Zhang Xuanzhen walked towards the machine.

As soon as he got closer, Zhang Xuanzhen heard a sound like a ghost crying wolf.

Woo woo...

Zhang Xuanzhen's brows were heavier, and he used his internal strength to protect his whole body, and slowly approached.

After walking in, Zhang Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that in front of this excavator, there was a black ravine, and there was an air outlet, and those sounds were the sound of the wind coming out of here.

The opening of this crack is two meters wide and seems to be very deep, and the bottom of the black hole inside cannot be seen, and a stream of coolness pours out of the hole. Zhang Xuanzhen looked in the direction of the crack, the length of the crack was very long, and judging from the excavation, there were already seven or eight meters of length exposed.

When Zhang Xuanzhen followed the crack and came to the end, he suddenly found that there was a foul smell in the wind pouring out of the hole...

Zhang Xuanzhen frowned, bent down and looked inside.

"Huh?" Zhang Xuanzhen was puzzled, and then slowly put his hand into the crack until his entire arm was inside.

At this moment, Zhang Xuanzhen's eyes suddenly opened.

His hand, as if he had been caught by something...

Zhang Xuanzhen found that his hand was "grabbed", and there seemed to be a pull pulling him into the crack, Zhang Xuanzhen hurriedly pulled out.

After all, Zhang Xuanzhen is not an idle person, his internal energy is surging, and he really pulled his arm back, not only that, but he also pulled up the things that pulled it together.

If you want to talk about Zhang Xuanzhen, he is also a person who has seen the world, not only is he extremely talented, but he has also cultivated in the Taihang Mountain Sword Sect since he was a child, and his vision is not comparable to that of ordinary martial artists, but qualifications belong to qualifications, but Zhang Xuanzhen has a strange weakness.

He is "afraid of ghosts"...

It's hard to imagine that a genius and strong man like him would have this kind of childlike mentality, but then again, maybe it's because he's been on Taihang Mountain for too long and seen some things, so he has this kind of mentality.

The reason why adults are not afraid of these things is not that they are really not afraid, but that decades of life experience tell them that there is no such thing in the world, but if they have really seen it, maybe adults will not be so calm.

And at this moment, what he pulled out was a ** corpse, to be precise, a row of ** corpses.

These corpses have a characteristic, that is, they are holding hands with each other, there are men and women, they are all **, their skin is intact and there are no traces of erosion, their expressions are terrifying, and their bodies are twisted into a ball in a strange shape.

"This is?" Zhang Xuanzhen was full of horror, and sat down on the ground, enduring his nausea.

He pulled out four or five corpses, all of them, and it is conceivable that the number of dead was much more than that, because the last man's hand seemed

Still pulling something in the crack, it's likely that there are "people" behind him...

Fortunately, Zhang Xuanzhen is not an ordinary person, he is afraid of being afraid, and his brain is still there.

He quickly calmed down, and when he looked back, he was now in a low-lying place between the two hills, and no one around had noticed him, so he held his breath and temporarily stuffed the pulled body back into it.

This matter cannot be publicized for the time being, at least not to be seen by the workers, otherwise it will be spread and this mining area of the Seven Star Group will be scrapped.

It now appears that the successive homicides in the mining area are likely related to this crack.

It's just, what's going on with this man-eating rift?

............

"At the beginning of March, we found a crack in the valley on the west side, which was very deep and deep, and I asked someone to take a preliminary measurement, and the rope of a hundred meters could not reach the end. Zhou Rui said.

"What, why don't I know about this?" Shen Jianguo frowned.

Zhou Rui said embarrassedly, "Mr. Shen, this is not a big deal, and the experts of Taiji Shield have measured this area, this area itself has geological faults, and because of this, this place will be rich in jade ore, this crack should be considered a normal phenomenon, so I have no return." ”

Zhou Rui's words also make sense, he can't report everything he finds here, and Shen Jianguo is also in charge now.

At this time, Xia Xue asked, "Is there anything special about this crack?"

Speaking of cracks, Zhou Rui's face was obviously gloomy, and his expression was a little unnatural.

"This crack is a bit weird, there is always a yin wind pouring out of the hole, making a whining sound, just like... It's like a ghost crying..."

Xia Xue shook her head, "Mr. Zhou, this should be the sound of the wind, don't be so superstitious." ”

Zhou Rui hurriedly couldn't refute Xia Xue's explanation, the wind does make a sound when it passes through the hole, this is common sense, but he doesn't seem to agree with Xia Xue's statement.

"I know that, but it's just that the wind blowing from the cave is very cold, and it occasionally smells rancid. ”

"There is no sunlight there all year round, it must be cold, and as for the smell, it may be some dead animals inside. Shen Bingtong gave a reasonable explanation.

Zhou Rui sighed, "We've all thought of these, but... Forget it, maybe I thought too much, after digging out there, no one dared to go down, and we didn't know what was inside, and then I forbade the workers to go near there. After all, we're here to mine, not explore. ”

With a bang, the door opened, and Zhang Xuanzhen stood at the door.

"Mr. Shen, give Tai Chi Dun a call and ask them to come over and deal with it, this may not be a simple murder case. Zhang Xuanzhen's expression was a little embarrassed.

If someone came to smash the field, he would have done it with a fight, but now, seeing the scene just now, he really didn't have the courage to go down by himself.

You have to call someone, it doesn't matter what group you come to, as long as someone gives him courage.

Everyone didn't know Zhang Xuanzhen's inner activities at this time, but it didn't look like Zhang Xuanzhen was joking.

"But will Taiji Shield accept our case?" Shen Jianguo was not very confident in this.

Zhang Xuanzhen didn't care so much, took out his mobile phone, looked at the address book, and finally chose Wei Tiancheng's number and dialed it.

"Chief Instructor Wei, I'm Zhang Xuanzhen... I am now a martial artist in Mu Qinghan's Seven Star Group, well, I know about him, but I believe that he will not die so easily, and my opponent cannot be so weak. ”

"I have a mission to complete this time with your Tai Chi Shield... I know your rules, this time it's not a group conflict of interest, I'll deal with the conflict of interest. ”

“... We've had seven homicides in a row on our site here, and the actual number of homicides far exceeds that... I found a crack here, and I saw a row of corpses inside..."

"What do you mean by a row? A row is a row, just a lot of corpses, hand in hand..."

"I, ahem, I haven't gone down to look at it for a while, it's very deep inside, I need some help..."

"If the task is difficult, I recommend the yellow level, there will be no danger with me. ”

When Zhang Xuanzhen put down the phone, he found that a group of people were looking at him in surprise.

Shen Bingtong asked, "You found a new corpse?" Then she looked at Zhou Rui, that means, you don't know how many people died? Why only report seven?

Zhou Rui immediately reacted, "Impossible, I have repeatedly counted the number of people here, but seven died, and what Master Zhang saw may not be our workers." ”

Zhang Xuanzhen was noncommittal, "I don't know if it's our workers, they are all Asians, but I don't think it's our workers, otherwise so many people died, and it would be impossible for these workers to work here anymore." ”

Seven people died, and the workers didn't dare to go out easily, if it weren't for Zhou Rui's repeated appeasement, it is estimated that the workers would have run away, if they knew that there were still many dead people in that crack, and they died so strangely, it is estimated that no matter how appeased the workers were, it would be impossible for them to stay.

............

At the task release of Taiji Shield, a yellow-level one-star task has been added, and the total reward for this level of task is only a few points, so not many people pay attention to it.

But there was one team that saw the task at a glance.

Zhu Chong touched his chin and squinted at this task.

"Seven Star Group, why is it so familiar?" Zhu Chong thought for a while, and suddenly realized.

"Isn't this Boss Mu's group?"

Although Mu Qinghan didn't talk about these things, but someone did, that is, Long Yue, when he first participated in SA, Mu Qinghan represented the Seven Star Society, and later after Mu Qinghan won the championship, the Seven Star Society developed rapidly and established the Seven Star Group by virtue of the reward of **MA.

"Boss Mu's owner has an accident?" Zhu Chong immediately rushed to the front desk and shouted at the staff, "This task, we Yellow Snake took it!"

In the dormitory of the Yellow Snake Group, Mu Liang and others are cleaning up the only empty dormitory in the group, two newcomers came last year, and the other two dormitories have been full, this year's newcomer recruitment is over, it is said that many newcomers will come, but I don't know how many people will choose the Yellow Snake Group, if someone chooses the Yellow Snake, then he will live in this room.

When entering this familiar room, the group was silent.

A year and a half ago, an inconspicuous young man moved in, and then just three months later.

He didn't like to talk, but it only took him three months to engrave his name in the minds of every Tai Chi Shield person!

Mu Liang, Zhu Chong, and Li Xiuying will be discharged from the army in half a year, and they once said that they would definitely go to Mu Qinghan for a drink after demobilization.

It was only in November last year that news came from outside—Mu Qinghan is dead! Mu Haotian is dead! Murong Tianyin is dead!

On that day, no one in the whole team went to practice anymore, and no one even collected points in the 30 times gravity room.

No one wants to believe that Boss Mu is dead like this.

Now that he came to this room again, Mu Liang even seemed to see Mu Qinghan sitting there indifferently, laughing with everyone like they had done the night before...

The chairs were also exactly the same as they were that night.

At that time, Mu Liang sat on the edge of Mu Qinghan's bed, Zhu Chong leaned against the table, Li Xiuying sat on this stool, and Fei Yuhang sat on the chair against the wall... A small dormitory, packed with twelve people from Yellow Snake.

The two recruits have been here for a year, and they are already familiar with the legendary story of the predecessor of the Yellow Snake Group, but after a year of enlistment, this is the first time they have entered this room.

One of the recruits, seeing that everyone was not moving, stepped forward to put the chairs in order.

"Don't move!" Mu Liang suddenly drank, startling the recruit.

"Team leader, I... I'm sorry. The newcomer lowered his head, a little overwhelmed.

Glancing at the newcomer who was at a loss, Mu Liang felt a little reluctant to go, they were originally here to clean up the room, and it was not wrong for others to clean up.

Mu Liang let out a long sigh, revealing endless loneliness.

"It's me who should apologize, I'm sorry Liu Jin, I'm just... Kind of miss that guy. ”

After Mu Liang finished speaking, these veterans all lowered their heads, they could understand the mood of the team leader at this time.

"Okay, don't be in a daze, Mu Qinghan said that the people of the Yellow Snake must be people with their heads held high, don't be stunned, clean up. ”

At this moment, with a bang, Zhu Chong rushed into the dormitory.

Mu Liang looked at Zhu Chong with some dissatisfaction, "What are you doing, reckless, you know whose room this is?" As an old man, Zhu Chong shouldn't be so reckless.

Zhu Chong scratched his head, "I'm sorry team leader, I just took over a task." ”

"Take the task? I won't get dizzy with excitement when I take the task. "Now the Yellow Snake Group is different from before, in the past, the Yellow Snake could borrow a task, and the whole team cheered, but now that they take the task, no one will come to grab it, which is also another benefit that Mu Qinghan left for the Yellow Snake.

"No, this task is different, it's the Seven Star Group that has an accident, does the Seven Star Group know?"

Mu Liang's eyes suddenly widened, "Nonsense, of course I know! What happened to them?"
