Chapter 322: Mage
Meri River ......
Went around and around again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mingchuan had already noticed that the location of the old town was just a little west of the upper reservoir of the Meili River, which was the direction of the source of the Meili River.
It is normal for inland rivers to have underground rivers flowing into them, and when you think about it, it is only natural that these underground rivers eventually merge into the Meri River.
Is there a connection between the anomalies in the underground of the old city and the anomalies in the Meili River?
If it is irrelevant, he will not believe it!
How could it be so coincidental? There can be so many things in one river?
Mingchuan felt that there was probably a certain causal relationship between the anomalies in the Meili River and the things in the underground river in the old city.
But what does this have to do with what happened more than a decade ago?
Ming Chuan looked up at Zhai Zhuocheng, waiting for the other party's next explanation.
"Just after the 'mage' appeared and said something inexplicable, two days later, black water gushed out of the Meri River. Zhai Zhuocheng frowned and said, "It's fortunate that the network information was not as smooth as it is now, otherwise it would be difficult to clean up." ”
"Heishui?" Ming Chuan frowned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Did it have any effect, and how did it solve it later?"
"Before the impact on people was felt, the whole river was blocked in time. Zhai Zhuocheng said, "At that time, our troops were also dispatched, so I probably knew a little bit about the situation." ”
After a pause, he picked up the tea jar on the table and took a sip of half-cold tea, Zhai Zhuo Chengcai continued: "Then, that 'mage' appeared again. That's when I met the so-called 'mage'. ”
Zhai Zhuocheng still remembered that when he and his subordinates were cautiously gathered on both sides of the river, thinking about what to do with these strange black waters, a strange-looking young man suddenly appeared in front of them.
The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with a smile on his face as if he was wearing a smiling mask, dressed in a dusty tunic suit, as if he didn't see the real guns and nuclear bombs they were carrying, and walked up to them with a smile.
That man gave Zhai Zhuocheng a very bad feeling.
It was an indescribable disgust.
To this day, Zhai Zhuocheng can clearly remember the man's appearance and the inexplicable disgust from the depths of his heart.
"The mage promised us that if he was sent underground, he would be able to solve these problems. Zhai Zhuocheng sighed, "Although I strongly opposed it at the time, some people feel that there is no loss in letting a person go down for a trip anyway, and since this person himself does not want to die, there is no need for us to stop it." ”
"So in the end, the mage still went down?" Ming Chuan guessed the result.
"No way, we were really confused and helpless. And I don't know if that black water will produce harmful gases, if the kind of gas that will make people crazy and cut people leaks out, the consequences will be serious, and it will cause panic. Zhai Zhuocheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"And then?" asked Mingchuan, "did any of you come along?"
"The mage insisted on going alone, but we sent someone to follow him. Zhai Zhuocheng sighed and continued, "It's a pity that when they came back from the underground, the few soldiers we sent were either dead or crazy, and none of them were exceptional. ”
"What about the mage, has the incident in Blackwater been resolved?" asked Ming Chuan.
"The incident in Blackwater is resolved, but the mage is missing. Zhai Zhuocheng said, "Before going down, the mage said that once the incident is resolved, this underground river must be blocked, not only that, but even the land on the river should not be touched again, I think, before he goes down, I expect that he will not appear in front of us again." ”
Ming Chuan narrowed his eyes, locked his brows tightly, and asked, "So you blocked the entrance to the underground river and left that piece of land deserted?"
"Of course not. Zhai Zhuocheng shook his head, "We won't be so obedient to a strange person of unknown origin." But the blockade of the underground river is necessary, and we would have done it without the 'mage' reminding us. ”
Since the effects of the poison gas could not be eliminated, the project had to be put on hold for the time being, and plans could be made after finding a way to deal with the poison gas.
"I didn't dare to do much on the ground, mainly because I was worried about the poisonous gas leaking out from the ground. Zhai Zhuocheng continued, "After that, I did a lot of work, but unfortunately, I didn't even analyze what the composition of that gas was." Because of this, not only was the underground work put on hold, but no one dared to start construction on the ground, so it was abandoned forever. ”
Ming Chuan can probably understand that the kind of gas that will affect people's spirits and make people hallucinate and go crazy is too harmful for anyone to dare to take this risk. And after so many years of verification, as long as those gases are still underground, they will not have an impact on the people around them, and for the sake of insurance, it is wisest to let them stay underground obediently until a solution is found.
"So, it didn't mean to be abandoned for so many years?" Ming Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"yes. Zhai Zhuocheng nodded, picked up the teapot and took a sip of the tea that had been cold.
Zhai Yanxu stood up, added some hot water to the tea jars of several people, and said with a smile to Ming Chuan: "You seem to be disappointed. ”
"Disappointed?, how could it be?" Ming Chuan looked up in surprise, "It's beyond my expectation to hear this news. ”
"Hahahaha, do you think that these are all secrets, and you can't easily tell others?" Zhai Zhuocheng asked with a smile.
Ming Chuan didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows, with an expression of "Isn't that so".
"Hahaha, this is not a secret, there were many people who knew about this at that time, and they did not deliberately hide it from the masses. Zhai Zhuocheng said with a smile, "It's just that the final reason was not found, and the incident was just like that, and what kind of 'mage' came out to stir up, people who knew at that time would always murmur in their hearts, and they felt that it was better not to spread this matter." So I warned the people below not to talk nonsense. ”
After a slight pause, Zhai Zhuocheng added with a smile: "Didn't there be no Internet in those days? ”
That is to say, under the secrecy of the parties involved and the mixing of some strange events, the matter of the year has become a suspenseful incident like a secret, and after so many years, it is still unresolved and left in place, and no one cares. (To be continued.) )
