Jin Zhengyi took Xiang Yun to a secret conference room of the General Bureau.

Xiang Yun's gaze swept over the people at the scene, in addition to officials at all levels of the public security department, there was also a team of investigators led by Zhai Jian, director of the Yangzhou County Investigation Bureau.

Both the Investigation Bureau and the Public Security Bureau can crack down on criminal acts.

There seems to be a lot of overlap in their roles and functions, but they are two completely different departments.

Public security means to maintain public safety, mainly for some vicious incidents that may pose a threat to public safety and endanger the middle and lower classes of ordinary people, and its rights and responsibilities are very wide.

The Bureau of Investigation is more special and targeted, and is generally used for extremely dangerous or high-level incidents, and is also responsible for the disciplinary supervision of important officials from the state and county to the state.

Now Jin Zhengyi, the top public security officer of Yangzhou County, and Zhai Jian, the director of the Yangzhou County Investigation Bureau, are all at the scene.

No doubt.

This illustrates a problem.

This is a tricky event.

It will not only endanger public safety, but also a major event that may destabilize the stability of the Western Chu State.

Xiang Yun didn't dare to slack off in the face of such a lineup, so after walking in, he immediately asked, "Minister Jin and Director Zhai, what kind of things are worthy of the two of you doing it yourself?"

Jin Zhengyi said to Zhai Jian: "Let Director Zhai tell you." ”

Zhai Jian handed over the prepared materials to Xiang Yun.

Everything Xiang Yun wants to know is all in this information.

In the process of Xiang Yun's reading of the information, Zhai Jian made a simple dictation at the same time: "According to the conclusion of the current investigation, about three months ago, a place called Ping'an County, a subordinate of Taicheng, began to have abnormal conditions, and people began to have nightmares. ”

Nightmare?

Zhai Jian paused and added: "To be more precise, we didn't pay too much attention to it at first, but in the past month, the situation has deteriorated rapidly, and nearly one million people in the county have almost been involved, which is really a very strange thing." ”

Xiang Yun was surprised: "The people of the whole county have nightmares at the same time?

He had to admit it.

It's the first time I've heard of such a strange thing.

It is normal for people to have nightmares, and who dares to say that they have never had one or two nightmares in their lives that impressed them and made them feel frightened? But in a county town, nearly a million people fell into nightmares at the same time.

It's so weird!

Absolutely abnormal!

Zhai Jian continued: "What's even more weird is that once the nightmare appears, it will not end, it will repeat itself night and night, as soon as you fall asleep, it will happen, and the most serious group of victims has lasted for three months. ”

Xiang Yun frowned: "Millions of people have been tormented by nightmares for three months? This must be someone behind the scenes, or it may be caused by some special evil spirit veins and special substances." ”

Occasionally have a nightmare.

It's scary.

If you have a nightmare for a week in a row.

I'm afraid that no matter how energetic a person is, he will be weak.

The whole people of this county have been tormented by nightmares for almost a hundred days!

It is conceivable how bad their current state is, judging from the information in their hands, Ping'an County has been chaotic, and many people have gone crazy because they are tortured.

Because Xiang Yun has not personally intervened in the investigation, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the cause of the accident, but usually this kind of collective mental abnormality occurs, and there is a high possibility that it is caused by the evil spirit vein or the spiritual attribute mine.

Evil spirit veins refer to spiritual veins that contain energy that is not good for the human body, or even deadly, and this kind of spiritual veins are worthless to human beings, so when building a city, they will find a feng shui master to explore it well in advance to ensure that the location where the city is built is not dangerous from evil spirit veins.

Ping'an County is a subordinate county of Taicheng, Yangzhou County.

Taicheng is one of the top three most populous cities in Yangzhou County.

Although it is far less prosperous than the main city of Yangzhou, as a city that has been established for more than three hundred years, it is unlikely that there will be such a situation as an evil spirit vein, after all, nothing has happened to Taicheng before.

It is possible that things like spiritual veins may change with the changes in the natural environment, but this transformation process is very slow, and it is difficult to reverse the change even if it is a thousand or two thousand years.

Of course.

The human factor cannot be ruled out now.

In the past, Yangzhou was infiltrated by the shadow and sect forces, and the Lord of Lu Tan, together with the person in charge of Yangzhou of the Dajin Chamber of Commerce, arranged a special dragon interception array, which almost changed the attributes of Yangzhou's spiritual veins, but fortunately it was stopped by Xiang Yun and Yan'er at the last moment.

Zhai Jian continued: "The weirdest thing about this thing is not here,"

Xiang Yun frowned: "Isn't it the weirdest place for a million people to have nightmares?"

Zhai Jian said: "Our investigation bureau sent several teams of investigators to Ping'an County to investigate, and when they came back, they all began to have nightmares...... Well, that is, under some unknown circumstance, they have already been infected. ”

"What? Nightmares are contagious?"

Xiang Yun almost wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Nightmares are contagious, and that's completely unreasonable.

Kim went on to add: "Not only to the investigators, but also in other big cities in Yangzhou County, even our main city of Yangzhou City, this situation has begun to appear one after another, especially Taicheng, which is the closest to Ping'an County, and it is possible that the nightmare is spreading to the entire Yangzhou County because of the population movement." ”

Xiang Yun frowned.

What a tricky thing to do!

If that's the case, the matter must be resolved as soon as possible, at first glance the nightmare does not seem to be a serious situation, after all, the nightmare itself is not fatal, but this phenomenon is so abnormal that it can affect millions of people, and there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

No wonder Kim Jeong-yi will find him.

It is estimated that the top management of Yangzhou County is confused about these matters and has no clues.

Xiang Yun asked: "How many people have this symptom now, have there been statistics?"

Kim replied, "At least more than three million, and the number is constantly increasing, and there is no trend of stopping for the time being." ”

Xiang Yun nodded: "Where is the investigator who was infected with the nightmare now?"

Kim replied: "They are temporarily isolated in Yangzhou City No. 9 Hospital. ”

Xiang Yun felt depressed for those buddies, Yangzhou Ninth Hospital was a psychiatric hospital, but it was just a nightmare, but it was locked up as a mental illness...... However, nightmares involve mental activity, maybe this is a mental type infectious disease that has never been encountered before, and in order to prevent things from worsening and affecting more people, there is nothing wrong with being locked up in Yangzhou Ninth Hospital.

"I need to meet these people. ”

"No problem!"

Xiang Yun was immediately arranged to come to the Ninth Hospital.

In the isolation ward, he saw the investigators who had been gathered and were suffering from "nightmares".

From the outside, there is nothing wrong with this inquisitor, but his face is pale and his complexion is very bad.

Zhai Jian explained the situation to these subordinates: "The reputation of the university scholar Xiang Yun, I think you should have heard of it, don't look at him as young, but he is talented, and he is one of the experts we specially invited to investigate this matter, and now you will answer whatever he asks." ”

It's actually Xiang Yun?

Xiang Yun, a scholar from Yangzhou University!

The youngest scholar and the genius of the King of Chu who was named a ranger general.

How could a few investigators not have heard of Xiang Yun? Although Xiang Yun has always kept a low profile among the people, it is impossible for the Investigation Bureau, as an intelligence department, not to know about Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun nodded to them: "Do you have any other uncomfortable things recently?" ”

"I wasn't uncomfortable, just had an occasional headache and lost energy. An investigator said, "It's probably a matter of not getting a good night's sleep for a few days and nights." ”

Xiang Yun nodded and asked, "What is the content of your nightmare?"

Several investigators recalled.

One of the inquisitors said: "I dreamed that I was burned at the stake, burned on a volcano, but I could not die, and the burning pain was very real. ”

Another inquisitor replied: "I dreamed that I was buried in the earth and then thousands of centipede spiders, burrowing from my ears, eyes, mouth, endlessly, endlessly. ”

Another investigator said with a sad face: "I repeatedly dreamed of the unexpected death of my rumor-mongering little daughter......"
