"Death" surfaced, and she turned out to be Chen Ruogu. However, in this crime, Chen Ruogu is just a chess piece. For the "prophet", his identity remains a mystery.

"Death" kills, Cheng Zihao, Linghui. All this is just a means of the "prophet", and what is his real purpose? What is the purpose of the weird mask that Chen Ruogu said?

Outside the window, it's almost dawn. The faint morning star slowly rose. Gao Cheng rubbed his wrinkled face and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Gao Cheng went to the Ming'an Psychiatric Research Center again. Last time I was in the Soul Hunting Society, I found out that the "prophet" was Xiao Min. Of course, Gao Cheng knew that Xiao Min was being used. It's just that he was in a hurry to protect Chen Ruogu at that time, so he put aside the matter of investigating Xiao Min first.

Xiao Min was still the same as before, without the slightest surprise or panic at Gao Cheng's arrival. As if the matter of that spiritual meeting had nothing to do with her.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, just looked around Xiao Min's room. Before coming to Xiao Min, Gao Cheng looked for the dean. The dean said that a man had come to Xiao Min three days ago.

All the patients who come here will be written down in detail by the nurse in charge of the reception. However, the nurse on duty that day did not record it. Later, the dean asked her, but she was at a loss, and she didn't even remember that someone had come to look for Xiao Min.

Regarding the dean's doubts, Gao Cheng was surprised and delighted.

If that's the case, it's clear that the nurse on duty was hypnotized by someone who came. This is exactly the usual style of the "prophet". In other words, the person who came to find Xiao Min is likely to be the "prophet" he has been tracking.

Gao Cheng and the dean were talking, and they didn't see Xiao Min next to him quietly picking up a fruit knife and gently slashing his wrist.

Blood dripped onto the sheets, like plum blossoms quietly blooming.

Xiao Min kept smiling. She finally came to the end of her life. After forty years of nightmares and guilt, I finally found a way to get rid of it. She saw that her life was fading away little by little.

In a trance, she remembered the past, those watery years, began to flicker in front of her eyes, like a silent movie, playing her life. Professor Chu, Bai Jie, Zhang Yijun, and Xiaobao, who loved him deeply, all of them waved to her from a distance with smiles on their faces.

Xiao Min's tears fell. For forty years, she has been regretting that she left Yuling Village in the first place. However, she did not know where she had escaped, but she was imprisoned in a much bigger prison. Fate is irresistible, and no one can resist it.

She finally understood everything, only, it was too late. Xiao Min's eyes darkened and he fell.

In a trance, she heard Gao Cheng's eager shouting. The voice is like Xiaobao back then. I don't know where the strength came from, Xiao Min opened her eyes again, and she saw Gao Cheng sitting beside her, looking at her anxiously.

Her lips quirmed, and she raised her hand as if to tell Gao Cheng something. Gao Cheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to her, Xiao Min wrote a horizontal on it with a trembling hand, and before she could finish writing, her body went weak and closed her eyes.

This time, it's eternal darkness.

Xiao Min was pushed away.

Sadness overshadowed everything. Gao Cheng sat on the edge of the stairs, holding his head deeply with his hands, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his chest. What exactly did Xiao Min mean when he wrote before he died? Is it the name of the "prophet", or is it some clue?

At this time, the phone rang.

"Captain, I'm Yang Fan. The people from the provincial institute are going to take me back. I'm really fine. You, come back and help me. Yang Fan's anxious cry for help came from the phone.

Gao Cheng hung up the phone and hurried back.

As soon as the car stopped, Gao Cheng saw two policemen walking out of the police station with Yang Fan on their back. Yang Fan kept saying something, but the two policemen looked indifferent.

Gao Cheng opened the car door and walked in front of them. Seeing Gao Cheng, Yang Fan shouted happily, "Captain, I'm not sick." Let them let me go. ”

"Who are you?" The two policemen looked at him in amazement.

"I'm his boss. Captain of the criminal investigation team, Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Oh. Sorry, but if you're the director, you can think about it. One of the policemen sneered and said in a weird way.

"He's not sick. Let him go and go back! Gao Chengtie said again with a blushing face.

"Sick or not. Wait until the doctor is sure. We're in a hurry, Captain Mu, please go and investigate your case that has dragged on for half a year! ”

Before the policeman could finish his words, Gao Cheng's fist had already rushed forward.

It's all unbelievable. Gao Cheng and the policeman fought together, beating and scolding in their mouths, "Which case has dragged on for half a year?" What are you? ”

Yang Fan had never seen Gao Cheng like this. Even after Gao Cheng's wife died, Gao Cheng didn't show much inner expression. However, now, Gao Cheng is fighting with the police in the provincial capital like a scoundrel.

The beating between the two quickly alarmed the people in the police station. Finally the director also came out. Two buttons of Gao Cheng's police uniform were torn off, and the left sleeve was also torn. The policeman was even more miserable, his left eye was black and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot.

Yang Fan stayed.

Two policemen left. They didn't say anything. However, everyone knows what consequences will befall Gao Cheng.

Gao Chengtie blushed and stood in front of the director.

"Look at you. You're the captain of the criminal investigation team, how old are you? Ah, why did you get started? The Director roared like a thunderous lion.

Gao Cheng did not defend himself. He understood the director's feelings. The provincial police have been wronged by him, and it must be difficult for him to do it. Gao Cheng felt a little sour in his heart, he didn't know what to say. He didn't understand, okay, how could he do it himself.

"The case of the Grim Reaper, before it is completely solved, you are proud of your credit?" The Director yelled loudly.

"Director, don't blame the captain. It's me, and they all blame me. The door was pushed open, and Yang Fan walked in.

"What are you anxious about? It's not your turn yet. I didn't stay well in the provincial sanatorium and ran out by myself. I'll give you a detailed account of your account. The director nodded at Yang Fan's forehead and scolded angrily.

"Don't talk about it." Gao Cheng spoke. He reached out and pulled out the pistol behind his waist and placed it on the table, along with the work card in his jacket pocket.

The director was stunned, and Yang Fan next to him was also stunned.

"After my wife was killed, I was emotionally unstable. There was already a rule that I could not participate in the handling of the case. Now, I want to take a few days off. ”

"Then, then I will also ask for leave." Yang Fan followed.

"You, are you threatening me?" The director snorted, then took a file out of the drawer and slammed it onto the table.

"Look at it! The province issued a document two days ago, requesting that the case of the 'Grim Reaper' be closed. It's just that I don't want you guys to know. ”

"But we haven't found out the truth yet!" Yang Fan was stunned and asked.

"Here's the instruction from above. What can I do? Perhaps, find someone to investigate above! Since you are resting, rest well! Don't make any more trouble. The director softened, waved his hand, and motioned for them to go out.

Gao Cheng has imagined many times that if one day he retires and stops being a policeman, what will his life be? My original wish was to be able to accompany my wife and go with her to see the sea that I had always wanted to see.

Later, his wife divorced herself. All wishes have become a luxury. Later, when his wife had an accident, extravagant hopes turned into regrets.

Many times, we always say that we want to go on a trip with a loved one. However, there is always no time, no opportunity. When we have time and opportunity, we are no longer in the world.

Gao Cheng had a sense of complete relaxation.

It seemed that all the pressure fell to the ground with the wave of the director's hand. However, his heart was still a little entangled. These entanglements come from those unsolved mysteries, as well as Chen Ruogu.

The truth that Chen Ruogu is the god of death has not been sent.

At the moment of closing the case, Gao Cheng hid Chen Ruogu's story. He didn't know why he was doing that. Thinking of Chen Ruogu, his heart ached faintly.

Bang! Bang! A knock on the door interrupted Gao Cheng's thoughts. He stood up and walked towards the gate.

The person who came was Chu Ling. There was also an old man standing next to him, the old man's eyes were bright, and he had a gentle smile on his face, giving people a sense of politeness and gentleness.

Chu Ling gave a brief introduction. The old man's name is Deng Mingchun, and he is the former director of the Nancheng Museum.

After a few simple greetings, Deng Mingchun explained the reason why he and Chu Ling were looking for Gao Cheng.

"It must have been one morning about forty-two years ago! The first time I saw Professor Chu Tiannan......" Deng Mingchun's eyes flashed with gloom.

Forty-two years ago, Nancheng was not as prosperous as it is now, but a dilapidated and impoverished small city. Deng Mingchun, like other college students, complained that he had no blood, but he was stranded in the sparrow land of Nancheng.

Although Nancheng is not a big city, it has a long history and is a meeting place of many cultures. If you can devote yourself to the study and study the culture of the entire southern city, you will definitely make achievements.

Of course, these things were told to him by Chu Tiannan. It was precisely because of Chu Tiannan's arrival that Deng Mingchun saw his youth and frivolity clearly, so he stayed in Nancheng down-to-earth.

Chu Tiannan's profound knowledge of archaeology, culture and other aspects made Deng Mingchun, who was three years younger than him, admire. Deng Mingchun believes that Chu Tiannan is definitely not a thing in the pool, and one day his talent will be recognized by the world.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chu Tiannan to be transferred away from above.

On the night they left, Chu Tiannan and Deng Mingchun were drinking in the dormitory. For his ascension, Chu Tiannan was not too excited. After three rounds of drinking, Chu Tiannan couldn't help but be a little drunk, and he told Deng Mingchun that his ambition was not only to make achievements in archaeology, but also to become the dawn of the world.

Deng Mingchun originally thought it was just Chu Tiannan's drunken words, but he didn't care.

However, two months later, Chu Tiannan returned to Nancheng. He told Deng Mingchun that he couldn't adapt to the outside environment, so he took the initiative to ask to come back.

Since then, Chu Tiannan has begun to devote himself to the study of archaeological culture. With Chu Tiannan's unremitting efforts, some of his scholarships have gradually been recognized by some domestic experts. There are even some local mechanisms to invite him to give lectures.

Slowly, Deng Mingchun also learned something from Chu Tiannan's mouth. Chu Tiannan's ambition turned out to be Yuling Mountain, where the concubine of the king of Lanling was buried.

Yuling Mountain, Deng Mingchun once heard someone say. It is almost a primeval mountain forest, and no one from the tomb robbers or some explorers will come back alive.

What Deng Mingchun didn't expect was that Chu Tiannan really organized a group of archaeological team members to go to Yuling Mountain with him. Originally, he hoped that Deng Mingchun could go with him, but Deng Mingchun refused.

Deng Mingchun knew very well in his heart that for a mountain forest without exact information, Chu Tiannan had no absolute certainty at all. Of course, he also knew that Chu Tiannan had been doing research on the archaeological culture of Yuling Mountain all his life, and had also been to the field many times. If he succeeds this time, he may really be able to make a name for himself through the ages. However, if it fails, the consequences are unimaginable.

Things were really as Deng Mingchun imagined, Chu Tiannan's archaeology failed, and all the members except Xiao Min disappeared.

Before Chu Tiannan set off, he left some information for Deng Mingchun. Chu Tiannan hoped that Deng Mingchun could keep it for him, and if he failed, then ask Deng Mingchun to transfer these materials to his son. In those materials, in addition to the analysis of the mountain topography of Yuling Mountain, there is also a lot of information about the king of Lanling. These are Chu Tiannan's life's work.

The reason why Deng Mingchun came to Gao Cheng was because of these materials. In those materials, there is also one thing recorded, that is, the cursed mask of the Lanling King. According to Chu Tiannan's analysis, that cursed mask had been sealed by several warlocks with forbidden words before it was buried. If one day it breaks through the ground, all illusions will be useless and will become a killing weapon in the world.

Originally, Deng Mingchun didn't believe in these superstitious things. But Chu Ling found him, and linked the things analyzed in those materials with a series of murders that happened in Nancheng. Deng Mingchun felt that things were indeed a little strange.

There are many curses in the cemetery in history, not to mention that the curse mask of King Lanling is a fact. So, at Chu Ling's suggestion, they found Gao Cheng together, hoping to find out more similarities.

After Deng Mingchun finished speaking, Chu Ling expressed his thoughts.

"The mask of King Lanling is a curse in itself. What's more, he also made the sorcerer put a curse on his lover's grave. Truth be told, all these years. I've been researching the secrets of the Yuling Blessed Land, and finally, I've learned the secrets. The blessed land of Yuling is actually a tomb hidden underground. Back then, what my father and the others found was nothing more than a fake tomb built on top of the Yuling blessed land. The real Yuling blessed land requires three keys to open. The first one is the cursed mask you just mentioned. The second and third keys are two pendants, one is the Jianwei pendant and the other is the Jiufeng pendant. This is also the meaning of the two couplets at the entrance of the blessed land of Yuling: the ancient jade is open in the wind, and the blood and rain of the tomb word nine phoenixes come out. ”

"Could it be because Professor Chu didn't know these things back then, so something happened?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Actually, I don't know any of these things. It was a man who told me. Later, after research and comparison, I found that this is indeed the case. Chu Ling said.

"Who's that guy who told you?" Gao Cheng's heart tightened inexplicably.

"It's a netizen I met on an academic forum, and his name is 'Prophet'."

"Prophet?" As soon as Chu Ling's words fell, Gao Cheng exclaimed.
