In order to effectively deal with different anomalies, these task force members also wear tactical vests with the kind of ordinary weapons equipped by sheriffs, and these weapons can basically form physical damage for most low-level anomalies.

Sometimes simple but effective physical damage will give the Tunist a certain amount of buffer time, and although it can't kill the anomaly, it can be a delaying tactic to gain time for successfully grabbing the anomaly.

Along the way, Shen Xing inquired about all the special weapons he was interested in, and Xie Zongyu, who was sitting in the same car, had been acting as a commentator.

After a while, this special vehicle, which looked like a commercial vehicle on the outside but was actually more like an armed transport vehicle on the inside, drove into the city center, followed by two similar models, Yang Tian and Zhang Zhi and a group of heavily armed task forces.

Ping'an City Center is actually not as prosperous as Shen Xing imagined.

In fact, the development of Ping'an City is extremely uneven, the main industry is the manufacture and export of various puppets, on the contrary, the service industry is weak, this is adjacent to the same city of Shicheng, and there is only one large shopping mall in the city center.

And according to Xie Zongyu, there are not many tourists in this mall, so the goods are not very rich.

Sometimes, if people in the city want to go shopping, they will take the opportunity to visit nearby cities such as Stone Castle to visit and buy.

The office building of the Special Investigation Group is attached to the Security Department, but instead of the same courtyard, it is separated by a wall.

After Shen Xing arrived, he found that although the office of the special investigation team was isolated from the Public Security Department, the space here was very large, with undulating greenery, red and green, as well as ponds, walking pavilions, and small squares, and the air was very good.

"This is the advantage of being close to Jingzhou!" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Special Case Investigation Command Center in Jingzhou is the special command headquarters of all prefectures and has great power, which also leads to the most abundant supply of resources and equipment in this place, and places such as Shicheng and Ping'an City are naturally close to the water.

At the rear of the office building, separated by a residence with an antique garden, is where the special officers and contingent members live.

This is not an ordinary accommodation, but a high-end apartment.

In addition to Xie Zongyu, Zhang Zhi, and Yang Tian, the official members of the special investigation team of Ping'an City, there are also four logistics personnel, including one operator, two data clerks, and one equipment support officer.

In fact, there were five field personnel, one of whom was transferred to Linshi to help, and the other went to the headquarters of the Jingzhou command center to participate in training.

Coming to Xie Zongyu's office on the third floor, Shen Xing took a closer look at it.

This office was more than a star and a half luxurious compared to Guo Tianzhi's office in Yungu City, and he remembered that Guo Tianzhi's office was used by the dead Zheng Ruijun before.

The office is at the back of the hallway? Only about twenty squares? With two desks, a sofa and a filing cabinet inside, you basically have to turn sideways to get through.

And this Xie Zongyu's office in front of you? I'm afraid it's almost forty square meters? Not only are the desks and chairs luxurious, but there are also two pots of beckoning trees in the house.

Shen Xing didn't know a special investigator who caught the abnormal? What are the meanings of putting some lucky trees in the office, is it the same plan as Zheng Ruijun? Secretly cooperating with the Night Hidden Organization and trying to make more money?

Sitting in front of the couch? Xie Zongyu opened a delicate tea-making tea table on the coffee table, and the smoke quickly hit his face, and the drinking water in the bucket was sucked into the teapot of the tea table by electric suction.

Xie Zongyu is skillful and operates the process of making tea? This leisurely scene made Shen Xing a little dumbfounded? His eyes were fixed on the outlet where a small stream of water was flowing.

I saw four words written above that place: water under the mountain.

"God is so special, 'water comes out of the mountain'!" Shen Xing couldn't help but complain secretly.

After a while, a cup of steaming yellow soup was brewed, the tea was fragrant and quiet, but Shen Xing never touched it again after he took a bite and burned his tongue.

At this time, Xie Zongyu poured a cup of tea for Yang Tian, who entered his office together? Then go back to your desk and open the drawer and pull out a photo.

After walking in front of Shen Xing? I handed him the picture: "Well, this is the well?" The photo is blurry, but it can't be helped. Whatever you use to shoot that well? Will it be blurry at the end? Even with the use of technical means, it cannot be recovered. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Xing was curious? He took the picture in his hand and leaned in front of him to take a closer look.

This photo is relatively new to the touch, it should have been printed recently, and the general scene in the photo should be in a deserted and uninhabited courtyard.

The walls of this courtyard can be vaguely seen to have been built for at least a few decades, and the courtyard walls are decayed, and the wall paint has fallen off a lot, exposing some red bricks, and even collapsed in some places.

The walls of the courtyard are covered with green vines from the outside, and these vines grow well and reproduce well, indicating that the courtyard should be a place where dense green plants grow, not in the city, but mostly in the suburbs.

There used to be stone tables and benches in this courtyard, but only the lower half of the stone table remained, and the upper half was missing, and only two of the four stone benches were still there, one fell to the ground and was covered with moss, and the other was still in place, but a corner was missing, and the surface was also covered with blackened moss.

Not far from the lower left corner of the stone table and stone bench, there is a blurred shadow, which at a glance looks as if someone has deliberately blurred it.

Shen Xing carefully identified it, and saw that the middle part of the blurred scene was a circle, darker in color, which should be the entrance of the abandoned dry well, and the surrounding area of the cave was almost completely blurred, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"This is it." At this time, Xie Zongyu stretched out his index finger and pointed to the vague place, "This is where the dry well is." ”

"Can't you get a clear picture of the well, whether it's photography or video?" Shen Xing asked.

"Yes." Yang Tian coughed twice on the side, nodded and replied: "We used two cameras and three cameras at the same time to shoot together, but the effect shown is almost no different from the one you see now." ”

"Is there any signal interference such as electronic radiation around this well?" Shen Xing asked.

Xie Zongyu shook his head: "We used special instruments to measure, but there was nothing." In fact, the place has been abandoned for many years, and if it weren't for the fact that someone went missing and reported the crime, we wouldn't know that there was an anomaly in that place. ”

Yang Tian continued: "Behind the courtyard in the photo is an old house, all of which are dilapidated, the doors and windows are rotten, and no one has lived in it for a long time, so it was not taken in this photo. ”

"Have you searched for it?" Shen Xing asked.

"I searched it, and I also used virtual wireless to detect it, but there was nothing." Yang Tiandao.

"Then has this dry well been detected by virtual wirelessness?" Shen Xing continued to ask.

"Of course, I did, but I don't know how deep the hole is, and I can't see any anomalous reflections." Yang Tian shook his head.

Shen Xing turned his head to look at Xie Zongyu, who was drinking tea, his expression slightly intoxicated, and his tongue smashed softly in his mouth.

Seeing Shen Xing looking over, Xie Zongyu reminded: "Drink tea." ”

Shen Xing touched his lips with his tongue, just touching the place where he had been burned just now, and then shook his head.

"You said someone went missing in that place, what's the matter?"

Xie Zongyu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "This is what I just said, this matter is very bizarre to say, and it is not at all different from other abnormalities I encountered before, so I specially asked you to come over and tell you about it slowly." ”

"Please." Shen Xing didn't talk nonsense, his eyes stared straight into Xie Zongyu's eyes.

Xie Zongyu cleared his throat and then began to speak.

……

The dry well is located in an abandoned house called "Duan Zhai", which is located in the southern suburbs of Ping'an City, about 30 kilometers from the city center.

Originally, it was called Duanjia Village, but later it was engaged in the development and construction of urban parks, and this piece was expropriated.

In the process of project construction, the city hall that led the project at that time should be investigated and punished for taking bribes, and the entire project was audited, but it was okay not to audit, but an audit found that the project was full of holes and problems everywhere, whether it was the start of the procedure or land acquisition and demolition, the use of compensation, etc.

The entire project was halted.

After about a decade, instead of restarting, the project was scrapped, and since then, the descendants of Duanjia Village have been relocated to the area.

Of course, there are other people who have moved in from other places.

The neighborhood has gradually become popular, and some small farmhouses have been developed, and it has become a place for city dwellers to relax on weekends and holidays.

Later, someone took a fancy to this old house of the Duan family, which was not demolished at that time, and as for the people of the Duan family, they no longer lived in Ping'an City after receiving the demolition money, and it is said that they had already moved to other states and could no longer be contacted.

At that time, the people who opened the farmhouse were going to rebuild this section of the house, and use the old house to stir up the retro feelings, so as to attract the attention of people in the city.

While applying for renovation, he asked someone to check the condition of the building to see if it needed to be repaired extensively, or to simply tear it down and rebuild a courtyard in its original style.

At that time, the person in charge of the construction quality survey was Liu Depei, a retired engineer from the Municipal Design and Testing Institute, who was idle after retirement, and he was a relative of the person who was preparing to open a farmhouse, so he came to help by the way.

Also here came Liu Depei's twelve-year-old grandson, Liu Xiaokai.

In the process of Liu Depei's inspection of the construction quality of the Duan Mansion, Liu Xiaokai was told by the old man that he was not allowed to enter the old mansion in case something inside collapsed, and the place was not safe.

Liu Xiaokai still came with his schoolbag on his back, and put the schoolbag on the cleaned stone bench, and he played in the yard, and was soon attracted by the dry well.

At this time, grandpa was working inside the house with testing tools to take samples, although Liu Xiaokai listened to his grandfather's words and didn't dare to run around, but he was bored, so he grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them into the dry well.

At that time, a thin layer of stone slabs was also covered above the dry well, and the stone slabs had been broken by the wind and sun for a long time, but they were not completely broken.

There are many large gaps exposed at the edge of the stone slab and the mouth of the dry well, and Liu Xiaokai keeps throwing stones into it through these gaps.

After the pebble was thrown in, he found that it was a long time before he could hear the sound of the collision after landing inside, which indicated that the dry well should be very deep.

Soon the small pebbles at hand were thrown, Liu Xiaokai turned around and went to other places, ready to find some bigger stones, as long as he stuffed them through the gap, he wanted to try how deep it was.

But just as Liu Xiaokai turned around, he suddenly heard a pop sound.

Immediately I turned around and listened, and the sound came from the mouth of the well, which was covered with a thin stone slab, and it was very crisp, as if a stone had hit the stone slab, or hit the rock wall of the wellhead.

Liu Xiaokai was a little surprised, he walked to the well and didn't dare to get too close, listened carefully for a while, and then found a stone and stuffed it through the gap in the stone slab again.

After a few moments, the sound of stones falling to the ground was heard.

Liu Xiaokai took two steps back and stared at the stone slab at the wellhead without blinking.

About five or six seconds later, there was a pop, and there was the sound of stones hitting the slab.

This time Liu Xiaokai heard it very clearly, the stone should have bounced up from the well, from the inside out, bounced on the stone slab covering the wellhead, making the sound just now.

"There's something in there?!"

He stepped forward in surprise, stopped with some hesitation, and did not dare to get completely close to the wellhead, but stretched his neck as much as he could, and shouted at the wellhead of the crack in the stone slab: "Is there anyone?" Is there anyone in there? ”

Waited for a while, but there was no response.

Liu Xiaokai picked up another stone and threw it through the gap.

This time it was only about three seconds, and with a poof, the stone bounced up, smashed on the stone slab, and fell out of the gap by coincidence.

Liu Xiaokai was excited, and immediately lay on the edge of the wellhead, and shouted: "Is there anyone?" ”

Still nothing happened inside.

Thinking that maybe the bottom of the well was too deep from the ground, so the sound could not be transmitted, he immediately turned around and went to his schoolbag to take out the things from the handicraft class, which was a solid nylon rope, a pair of scissors, and also took out paper and pen.

Write on a piece of paper "Hello, anyone?" After these words, he found a slightly larger stone, tied the paper and the stone together with a nylon rope, and then hung one end of the pen cap on the nylon rope, and when he came to the mouth of the hole, he slowly lowered this end into the well.

This slender nylon rope is about fifteen meters long, and Liu Xiaokai thought that if the rope couldn't reach the end, he would call his grandfather again and find a longer rope to come over.

Unexpectedly, after the rope was only about ten meters deep into the well, it actually hit the bottom.

Feeling the bottoming feedback from below, Liu Xiaokai was a little surprised.

He didn't move for a moment, just grabbed one end of the nylon rope and waited quietly for a moment.

After about a minute, there was a tugging sensation from below, and the rope came loose.

Liu Xiaokai suddenly perked up and quickly pulled the rope up.

Shaking and shaking, he was soon carefully lifted out of the well by the end of the bound stone, only to see that the paper and pen were still tied to it.

But on the other side of the paper where the words were written just now, there are already two more crooked words - I am.

Liu Xiaokai was extremely excited, shouted twice at the old mansion, and immediately tore off another piece of white paper, and quickly wrote on it: "How did you fall in?" I'll get someone to get you up right away. ”

Lifting the rope into the well again, Liu Xiaokai looked up and found that his grandfather did not come out, as if he had not heard himself shouting just now.

After a while, the rope that touched the bottom of the well began to pull again, and he immediately pulled the rope up quickly, opened the other side of the note, and was stunned.

The man below did not answer his question, but this time, he still wrote two words crookedly—I'm hungry.
