Chapter 2: The Trap
Although a few people sat down obediently, they still kept looking at me, and there was unkindness in their eyes, and I knew that these guys must be the top of the Xenobiological Management Bureau.
But I don't ask them, I don't fear them, let them look down on me, they can't kill me anyway.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the head of the other house, white hair, I specially asked him to help today! Everyone is welcome!" the old man said and applauded himself.
Seeing that no one catered to him, he had to cough embarrassedly twice: "Ahem...... I'm going to tell you why I'm here today......"
Still no one responded......
"Then the meeting has officially begun, and now every word you hear cannot be revealed to anyone......
"Stop, let's talk about the price first!" I interrupted the old man before he could speak again.
"Huh...... You and I are old friends, and we talk about money a lot!" the old man laughed treacherously, and he wanted to repay the debt again.
"What a strange house, this is the Alien Biological Management Bureau, there is no place for charlatans here!" said the beautiful girl sitting next to the old man.
Obviously, I am extremely dissatisfied with me, a rude guy who dares to bargain with Director Li, presumably a character like her will not take anyone in his eyes at all.
"No, no, no......" the old man hurriedly waved his hand, "He's not an ordinary person!"
"Yes, of course not ordinary people...... This guy doesn't have any spiritual power in his body, such a weak soul has never been seen in history!" said the white-faced man opposite the woman.
This man is extremely strong, shrouded in a layer of mist, it is an extremely strong soul fluctuation, this guy is either an extremely strong Dao cultivator or a big demon.
"Come on, see you guys!"
My body doesn't have any soul fluctuations, I know this, these great immortals and demons with powerful souls can't look down on them, it's normal, I'm not angry at all, just right, slap my ass and leave.
"Don't, don't...... Don't, everything is negotiable, I asked you to help, this is my personal decision, everyone is a friend, you see I've been busy helping you with identity verification these days...... It's hard...... Hehe...... "Seeing that I was about to escape, the old man hurriedly said.
"Celebrities don't talk darkly, don't think that if a few of you collude to do both hard and soft things, I won't be paid!" I unceremoniously debunked them.
These guys originally wanted to pretend to look down on me, arouse my competitiveness, and then take things down even if they don't give money, but I didn't expect me to get off the donkey, slap my ass and leave.
"Hehe......" was debunked by me, Old Man Li laughed awkwardly, and then motioned for me to sit down, "Money is negotiable, negotiable......"
It's really a hell of a thing, this old man is willing to pay, which is quite surprising to me, but after thinking about it, I don't think it's right, this mission will not be dangerous.
I sat down suspiciously, pulled out my dagger and manicured, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Then, the meeting has officially begun!" the old man's expression became serious.
I unbunked the conspiracy of a few guys, and sat down again with an embarrassed face.
The old man turned on the 3D projector, and the stereoscopic image made us feel like we were there, it was a stinky ditch, and green mold bubbles were floating on the water surface.
Then, several heads came out of the water, and they were several people?...... No, it's just some creatures with human appearances, something similar to humans to be precise, like a mummy buried for thousands of years, a bit like Old Man Li......
The corpse-like thing was so dexterous that it leaped and disappeared into the video, and then only a few miserable howls, human screams, were heard......
"District 37, fifteen people were missing and ten died last night, the camera only recorded such a video, the police can't do anything, this is an unusual crime! Everyone, do you have any clues?"
The old man spoke intermittently and weakly.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, there seems to be no clue.
"Okay, let's stop beating around the bush, are there only more than twenty people missing?" I debunked his words again.
"Uh... Hmmm—" The old man chirped, and finally saw that I had lost my patience and said, "Actually, it's a lot more than that!"
"How much?"
"Incomplete statistics, more than two thousand!"
"Two thousand...... "I put down the dagger in my hand and played the video repeatedly, the more I watched it, the more I felt a chill in my back, they really looked like corpses.
"The Corpse Clan, the Corpse Clan is just a legend?...... I've only seen it in fairy tale books!" the woman next to Old Man Li smiled incredulously.
"I have also seen the story of the nine-tailed fox disaster to the country and the people, in fairy tale books!"
"Presumptuous!"
One sentence made her furious, I guessed her identity, for mortals this is just a legend, but for her this is history, and the disgrace of her ancestors is in the past.
"I don't mean anything, I just want to say: legends are often not groundless!"
I don't want to continue such a boring argument, the reappearance of the corpses worries me.
"Just by this video, you can confirm that they are corpses, they have disappeared for thousands of years, and they have been completely wiped out!"
"Thousands of years ago, the corpse clan disappeared, but the several corpse kings did not die, and the ancient gods of the demon clan, the god clan, the demon clan, and the ghost clan could not destroy their immortal body, so they had to seal it. But after thousands of years, the power of the seal has weakened, and as early as hundreds of years ago, the corpse clan reappeared, and the corpse king may have broken through the seal......"
"It's just speculation...... You said yes, you've seen it?" The woman said.
"I've seen it!"
"But you're still alive!"
The man asked unceremoniously, this was not mean, no human could survive their attack.
"It's useless to argue, you might as well go and see the scene, maybe it's a conclusion!" the old man interrupted our argument.
"Do you dare to go, I heard that our supernatural detectives are afraid of ghosts!" I raised an eyebrow at the woman.
"Who said I was afraid of ghosts!" was told by a beautiful woman that I was afraid of ghosts, and my man's dignity was insulted.
"But I don't guarantee your safety! dare you go?" she said defiantly again.
"Go, go!" I regretted saying this, and I fell into Old Man Li's game again.
The woman was the first to go out, and I hesitated for a moment before following along.
"Hey, why do you have to get in my car!"
In order to save money, I gave up my own windy driving, ignored the white eyes of the beauty, and squeezed into her car.
It's a pity that not only did I have to endure cold words along the way, but I only saw her perfect side until the destination, and I didn't even look at me at all.
I don't care, I don't care at all, my patience is not without reward, at least these two hours of cold words have saved me five yuan in bus fares, a round trip is ten yuan, if you rub the car every day, you can save more than three thousand a year, in this way, I can buy my favorite car in a hundred years, so that I can soon buy my favorite car, I decided to learn to be frugal from now on.
While I was still making my own calculations, the car turned into an alley and stopped.
In the 37th arrondissement, half of the street is cordoned, and there are police everywhere, searching in front of and behind the house.
"I'm sorry, miss, this is a cordoned off area!" two policemen blocked our way.
The eyes of the two young men almost fell off, a pair of fiery eyes looked directly at the girl next to me, although they stopped us, but the attitude was kind, not the same as the police in my memory, this is the power of beauty.
"Big brother - what's wrong?" The beauty asked.
Suddenly I was a different person, gentle and lovely, and I smelled danger.
Two guys, you look at me, look at you, hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered his voice and said:
"I'll tell you, don't tell others, something is wrong, if you're interested, leave me a number, I'll tell you slowly another day!"
The focus is on the phone number.
"Didn't your leader say that this matter should be kept absolutely secret?" the girl wondered.
"At first glance, you are a person who understands, of course there is, but who made you a beauty? Which TV station, talk alone?" The young man said attentively.
"Special Investigation Bureau!" the beautiful woman took out her ID and handed it over.
"The Bureau of Investigations? This...!"
The Special Investigation Bureau, which is another name for the Xenobiological Management Bureau, is a cover up for the fact that only a very small number of high-level human beings know that this unit is composed of non-humans.
The young man's face immediately turned green, he didn't expect the beauty in front of him to be a member of the Special Investigation Bureau, and he was going to be unlucky now.
"Call your leaders!"
The woman put away her papers, her face sank like water, and she turned back into the popsicle I knew.
"Well, sir, I was just joking, don't tell our leader, do you think?"
The two guys pleaded with bitter faces.
"Look at your performance!"
"It's the chief, everything is under the command of the chief!" the two of them stood up and saluted.
"Don't call your leaders yet!"
"Yes!" the young man turned away, as if pardoned.
Oh, this little girl actually tricked two boys into confiding information for Liwei, this demon has lived for a long time and really learned all kinds of bad intentions.
But I didn't expect her to let these two boys go like this.
"Hello, I'm the person in charge here, Zhang Yi!"
The man was in a straight uniform and looked very sedate, but he was obviously not very welcoming to our arrival.
"Your leaders have said it, our Special Investigation Bureau is in charge of this matter!
The two of them simply introduced themselves, and even shook hands.
This girl's name is Mei Ji?
"And what about this one?" the man turned to me.
"Bureau of Investigations advisors!" I replied.
"I know you, from the South City!"
When he said this, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curved, and his tone was slightly contemptuous.
"Mr. Zhang seems to be prejudiced against our business!"
"I'm sorry, I'm a pure atheist!" the man held his head high.
"Then why can't you police do anything about this?" I asked with a smirk.
"The criminals are clever in their methods of committing crimes, and we just have no clue for a while, so when we encounter a difficult case, do we say that it is a supernatural event? There is nothing in this world that cannot be explained by science, and the theory of ghosts and gods is purely deceitful!"
This guy looks like he's righteous.
Mei Ji and I looked at each other and couldn't help but smile and shake our heads.
"So do you think it's a paranormal event?" He also smiled wryly, clearly disagreeing with our point of view.
"It's useless to talk more, take us to see!" Mei Ji said, and didn't explain, the difference of opinion does not affect the purpose of our trip, and when he sees the real ghost and is scared to pee his pants, he will believe it, often the kind of person who is not afraid of anything, but he is the one who is most afraid.
"You two are here to help, too!" said the beautiful woman to the two little policemen.
"We?"
These two guys, at first glance, were newcomers who had just joined the company, and they were named by the female commander, and they followed us with a grudge on their faces, unconsciously clutching the pistol at their waists.
Coming to a sewer entrance, the manhole cover has been opened, and a group of heavily armed policemen are guarding the entrance, and the entrance to the black hole is like the mouth of a monster with its mouth open.
I could already smell the rancid stench wafting from the sewers, a disgusting smell of carrion.
