Although Nangang is only a small city, supernatural events have never worn colored glasses, and rarely occur in first-tier cities, but most of them occur in relatively remote areas.

And this kind of bell alarm is the first time that Chu Yu has encountered it since he joined the company.

This also means that there has been a wide range of events in Nangang that have caused social panic.

With the exception of the three armed men left behind, everyone must immediately rush to the scene of the incident, including logistics and data analysts.

In the garage conversion section, everyone got busy, packed up their gear and instruments, and got into the vans that were broken and clanging.

After getting into the car, Chu Yu saw the mission briefing.

The site is in the old shopping center in the downtown area, and the ground collapsed, with a diameter of more than 12 meters and an unknown depth, which caused panic among the surrounding residents, and was temporarily announced to be an air-raid shelter collapse.

The reason why it is defined as a paranormal event is mainly due to two reasons.

First, there were no underground facilities near the old shopping mall, including subway access construction and bomb shelters, so it was impossible for it to collapse for no reason.

Second, the collapse was by no means man-made, because the 12-meter-diameter crater was particularly round, as if drawn with a huge compass, and there was no explosive residue at the site, excluding directional blasting.

After all, it was a special department, and in the car, except for the armed personnel, Chu Yu and other civilians all changed into work clothes from other departments.

Chu Yu was given a set of work clothes from the Road Administration Bureau, and when he arrived at the scene, he found that the old shopping center was blocked by the three layers of the good people and the outer three floors.

After getting out of the car, Chu Yu sighed silently.

Chinese people are like this, where is there any excitement, they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

The people who eat melons like this undoubtedly caused a lot of obstacles to everyone's investigation.

Seeing that the police officers who maintained law and order were a little overwhelmed, several military jeeps drove to the periphery.

Bai Yue jumped out of the car, carrying a camouflage combat bag in his left hand and a big lama in his right hand, and jumped directly onto the hood.

"Get out of the way, the gas leaked, and I'll kill you bastards in a while!"

As soon as the loudspeaker shouted, the melon-eating crowd immediately dispersed.

Gas leaks can be much more scary than Godzilla's, as the former is not covered by insurance.

Chu Yu and a group of young people were all civilian personnel and were left on guard on the perimeter, while Bai Yue ran to the vicinity of the collapsed pit with Meng Yong and a group of dogs.

Chu Yu was more curious, standing behind the cordon, looking back from time to time.

Bai Yue, as the on-site commander, may have noticed Chu Yu's gaze, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and hooked his finger at Chu Yu, who was dozens of meters away.

Secretly scolded Sheng Niang, Chu Yu ran over reluctantly.

He wasn't afraid of Bai Yue, mainly because he didn't want to deal with Bai Yue.

Because this girl is unreasonable, it hurts to beat people.

People beat her chest with a small fist, and she broke her ribs with a small fist.

When he arrived at the side of the tunnel, Chu Yu couldn't help but stretch out his head and look down.

Who knew that before he could see what was in the tunnel, he was suddenly pushed by someone.

Seeing that Chu Yu was about to fall, the slender arm that pushed him pulled him back again.

"Hahaha, scare you idiot!" Bai Yue, who was carrying the collar of Chu Yu's neck, trembled with laughter.

The others pretended not to see anything with speechless faces.

Chu Yu didn't bother to scold, he felt that Bai Yue's spirit seemed to be a little problematic, how did this girl become the deputy director, this is not a slippery one.

"You're a data analyst, right? Bai Yue snapped her fingers and said, "Search the intranet to see if anything similar has happened." ”

Chu Yu rolled his eyes, opened his notebook, and began to retrieve information.

As for Bai Yue, it was for Meng Yong to operate the drone to conduct underground surveys.

After checking for a long time, Chu Yu didn't find any relevant information, but he suddenly smelled a faint lemon smell.

At this time, the drone sent back the picture, because the underground is too dark, so the picture is very blurry.

Everyone looked around the screen, and couldn't see the reason for it for a while.

The picture is relatively blurry, and you can only see a large number of silkworm chrysalis things stacked together at the bottom of the pit, and there are many strips of cloth scattered around.

Meng Yong glanced at the data on the screen and said, "The depth is nineteen meters, the underground space is large, relatively humid, and there are no toxic substances. ”

Bai Yue pointed to the mountain-like thing on the screen, and couldn't help asking, "What is that?"

Everyone was silent, and the visibility was too low to tell what the hell it was.

It was Chu Yu, who sniffed his nose vigorously and looked thoughtful.

Everyone returned to the side of the tunnel again, Bai Yue grabbed a flare and was about to throw it down, but Chu Yu hurriedly stopped her.

"Wait!" Chu Yu frowned: "There may be a dry corpse down there, and you can't see the open flame!"

"Dry corpse?"

"There are a lot of strips of cloth in the underground space, and as for those silkworm-like chrysalis, although they can't be seen clearly, they are most likely mummies. Chu Yu pointed to the bottom of the tunnel, and continued in a somewhat uncertain tone: "The main thing is that I smell a faint smell of lemon, so I suspect that the mountain-like thing was tied into a mummy and piled together. ”

After Chu Yu finished speaking, Bai Yue and Meng Yong also sniffed vigorously.

"It seems to be eh, it does have a faint lemon smell. ”

Chu Yu explained: "In ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, people believed that people could be resurrected after death, so mummies were developed to ensure that the corpse would not decay and be preserved intact. ”

"There are dozens of ways to make mummies, but they are all the same, generally the body is cleaned first, and then an iron hook is used to penetrate into the brain from the nose of the deceased, and after the brain marrow is broken, the brain marrow and other fluids in the brain are immediately drawn out of the brain, and finally some drugs and spices are stuffed into the skull. ”

"The next thing to deal with is the internal organs, except for the heart, the other lungs, stomach, intestines, and liver are all taken out, and then cleaned and soaked in alkali, and after thorough drying, they are stored in four separate bottles and cans, and filled with spices, and the rest is the corpse dehydration and makeup two steps, and finally wrapped with specially treated cloth strips, no matter which step, a large number of spices will be used, these spices include palm wine, bubble soda bags, resin, salt and frankincense oil, etc.

After a pause, Chu Yu said affirmatively: "And after these spices are mixed together, what is emitted at the beginning is a faint lemon smell, which means that the corpse has not yet been pickled." ”

After Chu Yu finished speaking, Bai Yue looked at him suspiciously: "Aren't you a data analyst, how do you know so much?"

Chu Yu said helplessly: "I used to study religion and occultism overseas. ”

"Wow, that sounds amazing. Bai Yue said with a smile: "Then why did you run back to China?"

"When I came back to do errands, I just got off the plane and let you tie up. ”

"Why are you talking so much nonsense. Bai Yue pointed to the pit with a little embarrassment: "Go down to someone, if it's a corpse, carry two." ”

Chu Yu pretended not to hear and took two steps back.

Meng Yong, who was more realistic, took an oxygen cylinder and equipment, and began to descend along the safety rope.

A moment later, the grizzled Meng Yong climbed up, with a corpse wrapped in strips of cloth behind him.

"Damn, Xiao Chu is right. Placing the corpse on the ground, Meng Yong took two breaths of fresh air and continued: "There are a total of thirty-two corpses, preliminarily speculated, all of them are adult males, some strips of cloth have fallen off, and the hair and facial features should be Eastern European." ”

The crowd crouched down and gathered around the mummy.

Chu Yu did the same, covering his mouth and frowning.

Bai Yue observed for a moment, then put on his gloves and pulled out a sharp knife from behind his waist.

In a flash of cold light, the sharp knife cut through the strip of cloth wrapped around the head.

After pulling twice with slender fingers, the strips of cloth scattered, and everyone could see the corpse's face clearly.

The face is well preserved, there is no decay, it looks like it is Eastern European, but the hair has been shaved, and there is a long scar from the center of the eyebrows to the back of the neck, which is obviously a craniotomy that was not "rigorous" before death.

"Huh?" Bai Yue's long eyebrows raised slightly, and then he raised the knife again, and the strips of cloth on the entire corpse were all cut.

As Chu Yu expected, it was indeed a "mummy", the corpse's chest and abdomen had long sutured wounds, and there was a bulging sac between the chest and abdomen, obviously with a large amount of filling.

Bai Yue's nails were picked, and the silk threads between the chest and abdomen of the corpse were cracked, and immediately, his hands gently patted and pressed down on the surface of the corpse.

After a while, Bai Yue stopped, wiped his hands with a wet towel and said, "That's right, it's the way the mummy is made, the heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, and liver have all been taken away. ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Yue looked at one of his subordinates: "Let's start the investigation, we can't rule out Class A incidents, investigate in the direction of religious worship, especially those who know more about ancient Egyptian culture in this city, focus on the investigation, and at the same time check the files of foreign missing persons." ”

"That's not right!" Chu Yu behind him, looking at the corpse, narrowed his eyes slightly, and involuntarily cried out.
