Yongshui Village.

It is a large village built by the river and has a population of nearly 1,000 households.

Fifty miles north of the village, not far from the side of a main road.

In front of a dilapidated ancient temple.

Standing were a dozen public officials in uniform, with sword and shield badges on their chests, shoulders, etc.

All members of the National Special Operations Bureau, the 9th Brigade, and the 8th Action Group are all here.

The middle-aged man standing at the front has a Chinese face, a short beard, hard edges and corners, and a solemn and serious expression.

He looked at the ancient temple in front of him and said in a deep voice: "July 30, the dark day is coming, this is our last chance." ”

"Last year, we lost six brothers, eight the year before last, and the whole team was wiped out the year before last...... The above does not want any more casualties. ”

"If there is no result this time, the upper authorities will send a Lingyuan battleship over and completely flatten this temple!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with bitter hatred, as well as a little helplessness and unwillingness.

"Bang Ping? The clues we've investigated in the past few years are all useless. ”

A heroic woman behind her shook her head, the case of "Murder in the Ancient Temple", the eighth group spent a lot of energy to investigate, and also paid a huge sacrifice, but the top planned to close the case like this.

Under the bombardment of the Lingyuan battleship, isn't the truth also annihilated?

"The above is a last resort, in recent years, more and more people have been killed in this ancient temple, and the phantom array released is getting bigger and bigger, if you want to avoid losses, you can only make this decision. ”

The short-bearded man standing next to the handsome woman said that he felt that the above considerations made sense.

At least if the cannon goes down, it is unlikely that this ancient temple will continue to harm people.

The middle-aged man nodded and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must seize this last opportunity to break this temple and find out who is behind the scenes!"

That being said, the lack of manpower was the biggest problem facing Group 8.

There were only 12 people in the eighth group.

And the ancient temple released a phantom array, with a radius of more than fifty miles.

With their little manpower, it is impossible for them to pull out a cordon before July 30 to prevent ordinary people or businessmen who do not know the truth from passing by.

Chu Taihu, the city lord of Bilan City, couldn't borrow troops, because Chu Taihu borrowed 3,000 elite soldiers to the special operations team the year before last, and finally the phantom array suddenly expanded, and his 3,000 elite soldiers were swallowed by the phantom array by more than 2,000, and he suffered heavy losses, so he naturally didn't want to borrow again.

But there are 12 of them, and at most a few traffic points are blocked.

It is also necessary to solve the mystery of murder in the ancient temple...... It's a bit stretched.

However, on July 10th, several teenagers wearing sky suits landed in front of them.

The teenagers said they were students of Daxian Academy and had come to help investigate the "Ancient Temple Murder" incident.

Looking at these slightly green faces, the team leader Tan Ke shook his head: "It's too dangerous here, it's life-threatening, you better go back." ”

The deputy team leader, Qiao Yixue, returned to her true colors as a royal sister and chuckled: "Little brothers and sisters, my sister is very grateful for your help, but it's really dangerous, it's better to stay away~"

Hearing this voice, Chen En's bones were crisp, his face was slightly red, and he straightened his back and said: "We have flown more than 20,000 miles, and we are here to help! This is also the summer practice we must complete!"

Han Song said in the ear of the team leader Tan Ke: "Team leader, why don't you let them help do some chores and pull the cordon, a few more of them can block a few more mouths." ”

Han Song felt that these students could play a role in making up for their lack of manpower.

Tan Ke nodded, but on a dark day, these students had to evacuate and stay outside the cordon!

Zhou Ming agreed and obeyed their arrangement.

So in the next ten days, Zhou Ming and Chen En really became handymen doing odd jobs.

For example, when the food, meat and vegetables in the camp were exhausted, Zhou Ming and the others took the money and went to Yongshui Village, fifty miles away, to buy them.

For example, there are not enough tools for work, Yongshui Village can't buy them, and Zhou Ming and the others have to go to Bilan City, hundreds of miles away, to buy them.

It is the work of boiling water and cooking, which is also contracted by Zhou Ming, and because Zhou Ming's cooking skills are superb and the delicious food he cooks is unforgettable, Zhou Ming has become the most popular person in the action group, every time they see Zhou Ming, they will smile and ask kindly: "Xiao Zhou, what will you eat for the meal?"

Zhou Ming introduced it with a smile, which caused their saliva to flow.

Chen En was holding back the fire in his heart.

Especially today, carrying two bags of 100 catties of white lime, he flew hundreds of miles, threw the lime to the ground, and yelled: "Don't do it, why don't I do it!"

He shook off the sweat on his face: "I'm here to help solve the case, not to do these chores!"

His voice was so loud that everyone in the camp could hear him.

Hearing his complaints and dissatisfaction, Tan Ke was still expressionless, Han Song shook his head and smiled bitterly, these children......

Qiao Yixue twisted her waist and walked over, and said with a concerned face: "Xiao En, what's wrong with you? Didn't the team leader tell you to buy four bags of lime, and two more packs?"

"I can't carry those two bags, I'm throwing them halfway through! Whoever likes to get them, I won't serve them anyway. ”

Chen En shook his head and walked straight towards the forest beside him.

Qiao Yixue stretched out her hand, "Xiao En, is my sister going?"

"Chen En, come over to me!"

Not far away, Zhou Ming, who had just finished working in the kitchen, held his hands and yelled at him with a calm face.

"Boss—"

Chen En paused for a moment, then walked over with some reluctance.

Zhou Ming dragged him into the woods next to him and did some ideological work for him.

More than half an hour later, when the two returned to the camp, Chen En not only stopped being annoyed and angry before, but sincerely apologized to the action team, saying that he would help buy the remaining two bags of lime later.

Tan Ke and the others glanced at Chen En in surprise, and finally set their eyes on Zhou Ming.

A voice sounded in my heart: This young man will never be a thing in the pool in the future.

From this day on, Zhou Ming, a small group of five people, gradually integrated into the eighth group of adults.

During the break, Zhou Ming raised some questions about the ancient temple, and they began to be willing to answer.

provided a lot of official information, Zhou Ming they did not know yet.

Or even sit down together to discuss and express their opinions.

As an outsider, some of the views, assumptions, or bold speculations put forward by Zhou Ming often make Tan Ke and others' eyes light up, but they shook their heads violently, feeling incredible and ridiculous.

But they have to admit that if they change a few perspectives and use Zhou Ming's way of thinking to solve the mystery of "Murder in the Ancient Temple", it can really be logical and refreshing.

It's just that...... Zhou Ming came to several conclusions, all of which were very different from Tan Ke's conclusions.

If he were to solve this century-old mystery, it would be tantamount to overturning all the results of their work for several years.

A lot of the work they've done has proven to be futile.

This is something they find difficult to accept.

What's more, the one who wanted to overturn their conclusions was a fifteen-year-old boy......

So they still prefer to believe in their own level of expertise.

It's July 25th.

In the western sky, the only remaining orange sun turned into a sunset that was about to set.

The sun shone brightly, and the earth was rendered with a layer of golden light.

As time goes on, this layer of golden light will gradually become dim and yellow, and finally ...... Into the darkness.

The atmosphere of the entire camp has also become serious and solemn.

The time to meet the ultimate challenge is coming.

"Boss, Team Leader Tan told us to leave in three days, don't go near this ancient temple, if we come here without permission, he will give us zero points for our summer practice, and we won't get a single contribution point. ”

Chen En asked, "Boss, what should we do?"

"If we stay outside the cordon, we won't be able to solve any mystery. ”

Lei Zuo also said that if he can't solve the mystery, it is equivalent to coming for nothing, and he can not get many contribution points.

"Or we'll sneak in then. ”

Zhang Yu said her method, the eighth group was understaffed, and there was no one to watch them specifically, and there was no problem in sneaking into the phantom array.

"Not necessarily!"

Zhou Ming shook his head, "Just follow Team Leader Tan's arrangement, stay outside the cordon, and don't go in without permission." ”

"How can this solve the mystery of the ancient temple?" Chen En said puzzled.

"Don't worry, just wait and see, this ancient temple is going to kill people after all, and it will kill a lot of people, the number of people in the cordon is not enough, it will expand the phantom array, and even Yongshui Village in the south may also be within the coverage of the phantom array, let's go to Yongshui Village and wait with peace of mind." ”

"Yongshui Village, it's all fifty miles away, can the phantom array cover that far?"

Chen En shook his head in disbelief, but seeing that the boss looked like he was in his chest, he couldn't help but nod his head.
