Chapter 19: The Blood Tree in a Dream
Chen Xian was already stunned.
He had no idea that things would turn out like this.
I was still desperately trying to find the key before...... Just don't look for it?
Looking at the meaning of Huo Fatzi, it seems that this case has been transferred to someone else, and all this change comes from the pattern on the door panel.
What does it really mean to have seven palms stacked on top of each other?
When Chen Xian led Huo Fatzi back the same way, he kept thinking about this question in his mind, and kept rummaging through the relevant clues in his memory.
But no matter how much he recalled, he couldn't think of the slightest bit of information related to that pattern.
"Since all the information about the pattern is kept secret...... Then you can't find it on the Internet or among the people...... It should only be known to people in the department......"
"Huo Fatzi mentioned the word "them" before, can it be temporarily determined that this is an organized gang?"
Thinking of this, Chen Xian felt that the clue information in his brain began to be simplified from complex, and those clues that he could use were unconsciously drilled out.
I remember that Huo Fatzi said such a sentence before.
"No wonder this hospital can get an underground facility of this scale."
From this sentence, it can be seen that this organization should be very powerful, and it is also very rich, if they don't have money and power, they can't get such a large scale of underground facilities.
In this kind of analyzed information, Chen Xian extracted several key points.
This organization is rich and powerful, and also has a lot of knowledge about "anomalies", and can even artificially create some anomalous lifeforms, such as the dean I met before.
After the corpse transformation, the alienation index of his body was very high, and even his legs lost their human characteristics, and that kind of strange change seemed to be artificially intervened no matter how you look at it.
Of course, in addition to the above points, there is another feature of this organization that cannot be ignored.
Deterrent.
That's right, deterrence.
Just by seeing that pattern, Huo Fatzi could be nervous about this, and his superiors also agreed to transfer the case of the key, and asked the people from the Armed Forces Department to come over for reinforcements immediately...... What kind of organization does it have to scare them like this?
You must know that the department and organization that Huo Fatzi and Chen Xian work with are not simple, this is the only alien management agency in China, and it is also the only institution that has the ability to deal with "abnormalities" everywhere in the country.
The full name of this institution is the Ninth Secret Bureau, which was founded in 1949, and unlike other inhuman organizations or religious lineages in China, the departments set up within the Secret Bureau and their comprehensiveness are also very detailed, more like some kind of large-scale scientific research institution with a clear division of labor.
In the Secret Bureau, in addition to the Investigation Department where Huo Fatzi worked, there are dozens of departments such as the Armed Forces Department, the Logistics Department, and the Scientific Research Department.
Each unit has a different division of labor, for example, the Detection Department is responsible for dealing with those abnormal cases, sometimes the nature of the cases is complex, and it will also cooperate with the combat members of the Armed Forces.
It must be mentioned here that the Ministry of Armed Forces is not composed of aliens, and nearly ninety percent of the fighters in the department are ordinary people from the army.
From a certain point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces Department is far superior to that of the Detection Department, and even if there are large-scale aliens in the Detection Department, the combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces Department is also overwhelming.
The reason is simple.
The Armed Forces Department is the only unit that can be equipped with heavy thermal weapons, and its position in the Secret Bureau is extremely special, and the procedures for transferring them are also extremely cumbersome, requiring the approval of the leaders at all levels before they can be dispatched.
These combat members of the armed forces do not know any yin and yang magic, nor do they know any religious methods, the only thing they can do is physical transcendence, and the most famous case they have handled in recent years is the well-known ghost village case in the northwest.
That case has a unique code name in the Secret Bureau, Izui God.
This unusual case occurred on July 11, 2002, in a mountain village in the northwest region.
The target of the crime is the spirit, also known as the well god.
In just one night, its appearance caused the death of all 212 villagers in the village, leaving not a single survivor.
The village, which was still full of people in the past, also turned into a dead and barren land overnight.
The first person in charge of handling this case was the Investigation Department, and they sent some strangers to the scene, but after spending three days and paying more than 20 lives, the case still made no progress, and the target was still at large.
In the end, it was the superiors who decided to transfer the case to the Ministry of Armed Forces for handling, which solved the daunting "well god".
It has to be said that the speed with which the Armed Forces Department handled this case was amazing, from arriving at the scene to carry out reconnaissance operations, to determining the target location for fire coverage and strike......
From beginning to end, it took them less than half an hour, and at the cost of only three "Type 42 Special Individual Soldier Cloud Burst Bombs", the target "Jingshen" was completely blown into flying ashes, and the ghost village that had allowed Inhumans to enter and exit was also razed to the ground.
Under the heat of the army, all beings are equal, this slogan was brought up by those members of the armed forces back then.
From this point, it can be seen that the biggest difference between the Secret Bureau and other Inhuman organizations is to keep pace with the times, but all this has to be built on absolute financial resources, without money as a foundation, the Secret Bureau cannot develop to this point.
Chen Xian really couldn't figure it out, could it be that the backstage of this mental hospital was so terrifying? What kind of organization would make the Secret Bureau so jealous?
Since this organization can make the Secret Bureau regard it as a great enemy, it can be completely explained that it is a very big threat to the Secret Bureau, and maybe it is also a huge special organization, but it is impossible for such a large organization to have no name in the Inhuman circle, and there will be some rumors anyway.
But Chen Xian was sure that he had never heard of the relevant news, and the pattern of seven palms stacked on the door panel was also the first time he had seen it, and he had never seen it before.
I want to silence this kind of large organization in the country...... The only possibility is that all information about it is forcibly blocked by the Secret Bureau, and the flow of information between the Internet and reality is also controlled by them, so that no rumors will spread.
But what is the purpose of the Bureau?
Chen Xian frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't grasp the clue, because this was the first time he had encountered this situation, and he hadn't even thought about it before.
At this time, he had already led Huo Fatzi to the elevator and began to walk up from the underground.
"What's wrong with you?" Huo Fatzi opened his mouth coldly, and when he asked this, he was also staring at Chen Xian, holding half of the still burning cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes were a little strange, "Seeing that you have been silent, I feel that you are very depressed." ”
"I'm fine."
Chen Xian said softly, almost his entire body was hidden in the shadows of the corner, revealing only a pair of eyes that could faintly glow in the dark, and said in the same tone.
"I just feel a little ashamed, after all, this case was not done." Chen Xian's answer was flawless.
Huo Fatzi didn't think much about it, and laughed with a cigarette: "You have done a very good job, at your age, I am still a hairy boy who doesn't know how to fart, and I am not afraid that you will laugh at me, I tell you, I ...... back then"
Leaving the twenty-first-story underground facility, then returning to the corpse square on the ground, and returning through the corpse group, Chen Xian and the others did not encounter any accidents.
Along the way, Huo Fat Man was chatting with Chen Xian, although Chen Xian didn't like to talk much, but this fat man's interest was quite high, and he didn't care how much Chen Xian gave him, and he kept muttering to himself.
When the two of them walked out of the mental hospital, the staff stationed outside gathered around.
Each of them looked like they were facing a great enemy, their expressions were nervous, and they were holding guns in their hands, as if they were guarding against something.
Seeing that Huo Fatzi was safe and sound, many investigators breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces looked a little better.
"Boss, there's a call from above, telling us to lock this place off first......
Zhang Dahai leaned over to Huo Fatzi and whispered, the voice behind him was very low, and Chen Xian, who was standing on the side, couldn't hear what they were talking about, but looking at their expressions...... I seem to be a little nervous.
After a while, Zhang Dahai walked away, and Huo Fatzi returned to Chen Xian's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Xiao Chen, you go back first, I'll let someone send you."
As he spoke, Fat Huo looked at Chen Xian sincerely and shook hands with him solemnly.
"Although this mission is not completely completed, it is good to have come this far, and I have to thank you for your help anyway."
"You're welcome." Chen Xian smiled.
"The reward you deserve will not be less, and it will be transferred to your account from the headquarters in two days." Huo Fatzi suddenly grinned, and patted Chen Xian on the shoulder, "I have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, to be honest, I like you a lot, if you can join our Investigation Department and officially take up a job, it would be ......"
Before Huo Fatzi finished speaking, Chen Xian hurriedly shook his head and refused: "No, no, there are too many rules for regular employees, I heard that they have to work every day, I think it's good to be a temporary worker." ”
After saying goodbye to each other, Huo Fatzi called an elderly investigator and asked him to drive Chen Xian back.
By the time I got back to the old house, it was already dark.
Tossing and turning in the Wushan Mental Hospital for a night, Chen Xian's physique was a little unbearable, he almost fell asleep in the car before, and finally he didn't close his eyes until he held on.
As soon as he entered the door of the old mansion, Chen Xian yawned for a long time.
The face that was flat a second ago is now full of four big words of exhaustion.
"I can't think of a clue right now...... Go get some sleep first...... I'll talk about it when I wake up......"
Chen Xian was already in a state of semi-sleepwalking, muttering to himself with his eyes closed, staggering into the bedroom as if drunk, and fell asleep on the bed.
In the past, Chen Xian belonged to the kind of person who rarely dreamed.
Most of his sleep is a very high-quality deep sleep, and he dreams only on rare occasions.
This time, maybe it was because he was too tired, or maybe it was because he had been through too much in a mental hospital.
Chen Xian had a long dream.
In his dream, Chen Xian came to a strange square under the deep sea, the surrounding ground was sprinkled with crystal-like residues, and thousands of fish swam overhead from time to time.
Chen Xian slowly moved towards the depths of the square, he didn't know why he did this, he just felt ...... Something was calling out to him there.
Walking through the ancient square covered with blue bricks, he soon saw a blood-colored dead tree rotting on the bottom of the sea, its soft and slender branches, swaying with the undercurrent of the seabed, like the capillaries of the human body, they are entangled and connected to each other, so that the leafless canopy presents a strange and terrifying net.
Whenever the sea swayed with the blood-colored netted branches, Chen Xian could faintly hear a scream, which seemed to come from the canopy, as if someone was hiding in the canopy...... was shouting at Chen Xian a repeating sentence.
……
"Give me back, give me back, give me back!!"
