Woo rumble~

The low sound of the engine and the vibration caused the ripples on the water surface to spread out all the time, hitting the wooden stakes on the pier and then scattering.

Zhu Jue, who was carrying a black umbrella on his shoulder, used a little force on his right foot, and the rows of wooden planks fixed with iron nails creaked, as if he would be stepped in two in the next moment, and when he looked up, he saw a large swamp forest in the rain ahead, and a large number of wooded branches growing in the swamp were staggered.

Perhaps because of the sky, it always felt like a pitch-black wall, blocking something inside that shouldn't be in the world.

The town of Hesai, where special corpses and strange paintings were found, is located in the southeast of Dawning City, in the middle of two C-level danger zones, the number of residents is not large, and the number of residents is only more than 500 people from the data.

"The residents of the town of Hessey are scattered in several highlands in the swamp, and I have informed the town's police station in advance so that they can prepare a police car for you and pick you up at the local dock. ”

A uniformed raincoat officer handed Olivia a key in his hand, and behind him was a small speedboat, its blue and white hull recognizable in the dim sky, with government insignia on its side and fist-sized searchlights hanging from its sides.

At this time, the searchlights were on, and two beams of light were reflected on the surface of the lake on both sides.

At the driver's place stood a middle-aged man, who was in charge of sending Zhu Jue and Olivia to Hesai Town.

"What about the frogmen?"

Looking back at Zhu Jue, who was looking at the information stored in the phone, his eyes swept around him, and he didn't find anyone following, Olivia frowned and asked.

"We have arrived in the town of Hosai ahead of schedule, and at your request, they will start a search in advance at the location where the body was found, with the help of the local police department. ”

For this "high-ranking official" of the Archaeological Association who came from Dawn City, the sheriff naturally did not dare to be lazy, not only did he try his best to meet their requirements, but some things were even completed ahead of schedule, so he couldn't do such an efficient action in the past.

"Fortunately, when I go back, I hope you can send me a copy of the details of Hesai Town, and I will use it as a reference. ”

Olivia was in a hurry to go to Hesai Town, and at the same time as she explained, she had already boarded the speedboat, and Zhu Jue jumped into the boat after her, and the waterline sank a little.

"Have you found out who painted that picture?"

Leaning back on the seat, Zhu Jue stroked the forehead of the wind chime lying on the side of the boat and was stretching out his paws to paddle, and asked softly.

This is one of several key clues in their hands, and it must be investigated in detail.

"At present, a goal has been determined, after all, such a detailed realistic painting style is not something that anyone can control, the other party can draw that kind of thing, there must be a reference, and its own skills have also reached a certain level, I plan to arrive in Hesai Town and start from two places, on the one hand, the frogman team will search the area where the corpse was found before, to see if there will be any new discoveries, and on the other side, I will go with you to the residence of the deceased and the painter to investigate. ”

Olivia holds an audiovisual stick in her hand, and the low-brightness pale green light curtain stands out in the current environment, showing the distribution of facilities throughout the town of Hossey, with several key buildings marked with red dots and simple images, and a few small red arrows indicating these types of markers.

One of them is labeled "Painter's Residence", as well as "Deceased's Body" and "Deceased's Residence".

At first, driving on the river outside the swamp was normal, but because of the rain, the light was a little dim, and there was no problem with normal vision.

However, as the speedboat sailed into the swamp forest, the sky overhead was obscured by the plants that grew wildly during the rainy season, and the surrounding environment became darker, and the searchlights on the side and bow of the ship could only be relied on to check the surroundings.

The moss-covered trunks of the trees that emerge from the lake and the wet bark are dark brown, and unknown small insects cling to them, occasionally spreading their wings and roaming the woods.

"Fresh" stumps float on the surface of the water, and large patches of dark green duckweed are sticking around them, making the water in the swamp forest look particularly dirty.

Why do you say "fresh"?

That's because under this murky water there is buried real humus that has been deposited for an unknown number of years, and that is the "old thing"!

"If that's the case in the town of Hosai, it would be dark even on a sunny day, and the humid environment would be ...... Can you really live in people?"

Looking at the pictures and photos saved in his mobile phone, it was somewhat strange for Zhu Jue to have a village and town in this kind of swamp.

"Maybe it's because it's safe. ”

The driver in front of him suddenly said,

"So far, there have been no incidents of mental pollution source monsters hurting people in Hesai Town, and the local crime rate is also extremely low, so although life is not as good as in the city, what everyone is pursuing now is actually quite simple...... Anyway, those good things can't take our turn, can they?"

The meaning of the words is not difficult to understand, the life of the low-level civilians in the big city is indeed not as good as the people in this kind of township and place, if Hesai Town can really put an end to man-made crime under the premise of ensuring that there is no spiritual pollution source monster like Dawn City, it is really nothing to endure some environmental problems.

After all, there are few modern people who lie in the sun all day.

Black is a little darker, and it's always good to have no monsters.

Isn't it?

"There are about five minutes to go to the pier in Hesai Town, it has been the rainy season here recently, today is just the beginning, the rain should increase, so I suggest that you prepare two raincoats in advance, if necessary, I have a shop in Hesai Town, not far from the pier, you two can go and see, I can ask him to give you a discounted price." ”

The driver of the speedboat turned the steering wheel, turned half-sideways, pointed to the dark clouds that were gradually accumulating in the sky, and said in a muffled voice.

"Thank you...... Does he have rain boots for sale in his shop?"

Olivia had changed to a lighter outfit before she arrived, but if it did rain, the roads of Hesey Town were clearly not something that a pair of sneakers could withstand.

As she spoke, she tugged at Zhu Jue's sleeve and asked him to lean on her side, the space in the boat was a little narrow, and holding two umbrellas would collide together, so she took her own one after she got on the boat.

"Of course, I'll contact him to get ready for the two of you. ”

The driver smiled, probably because he had received two thanks from the two bigwigs while pulling two guests for his friend.

It's just that his left foot, which was on the edge of the seat, kicked back without a trace, and the blue handbag was hidden even further.

The speedboat continued to move forward, and Zhu Jue casually pulled Duan Qingteng to tease the wind chimes.

Oh~

At a certain moment, the ears of the wind chimes suddenly twitched, and the two paws pressed directly against the vines, and roared with a warning meaning.

Zhu Jue reacted immediately, the handbag containing the Three Days Moon Tai Knife did not move, and instead pulled out the gun on his waist, his fingers stirred on the right side of the gun handle, and a red beam of light immediately locked the wind chime and found a strange water.

"There's something there!"

The warning in his mind did not appear, and the distance was already more than 20 meters, Zhu Jue couldn't sense what was hidden under the dark water, so he could only whisper.

Olivia immediately got up and also drew her pistol, which was obviously much larger than the one Zhu Jue was holding in her hand.

"Probe mode. ”

At Olivia's command, a curtain of green light swept towards the surface of the water in an instant.

Before the results of the imaging appeared, a black object appeared on the surface of the water.

"It's me!

Noticing the speedboat on this side, the man who emerged from the water reached out and shook it.

Zhu Jue's eyesight has always been very good, although he can't see the other party's face clearly, he also noticed that the black thing is actually a protective layer of the outer cover, and it is a little strange that there are still two pieces of fish gills on the left and right sides that are exposed to the air and occupy a third of the size of a cheek!

"Fishman potion, that's the frogman of the diving team, your own people!"

Before Olivia could speak, the driver explained first, his tone a little anxious, for fear that the two would pull the trigger.

The name of the modern diver continues to use the previous frogman, but the oxygen cylinder has long been eliminated in some professional teams, and has been replaced by the universal ability injection, and the fish-man injection is one of the more common ones.

Even if it is a landlubber, as long as you give yourself a needle, you can easily close your breath underwater for more than an hour, and with some portable propulsion equipment, the speed in the water is no worse than those swimming fish.

"It's fast, it's done well, and I'll ask the police to give them a commendation when I get back." ”

Olivia only knew that the frogman team had been sent out when she boarded the ship before, but she didn't expect that she was only halfway there, and they had already started to act, and she was very satisfied with this efficiency, and rarely praised it.

The wharf in Hesai Town is also a little rudimentary, with police vehicles already waiting at the wharf, and three policemen standing with umbrellas early in the morning where the boats are moored.

Before the speedboat landed, they waved and bowed.

This attitude made Zhu Jue and Olivia both a little surprised, the name of the archaeological association is indeed not small, but this has nothing to do with the police station here in Hesai Town, under such a premise, the reception staff here are still so attentive, which undoubtedly makes them both a little flattered.

"The two of you must be tired from coming from Dawn City, we have prepared hot coffee in the car, let's go to the police station to rest for a while before starting the investigation?"

As soon as I landed here, one of the policemen with a beard leaned in and asked.

"No, I want to go to the deceased's house first. ”

Olivia has always been a man of action, and now that the investigation has not yet begun, she naturally refuses to rest.

At this time, Zhu Jue did not pay attention to the police, but set his eyes on this town.

Technology and steel are not common here, and the lush vegetation and light mist are the main themes here!
