"Instantaneous?" Xiahoudun was suddenly shocked, "How did it come to be?" ”

Yuan Shao continued: "According to eyewitnesses, two balls of light the size of a ping-pong ball fell from the sky at that time, and they stopped falling just when they were about to fall to the ground and before they hit the ground. Then one of the balls of light began to spin around the other, and at first the two balls of light almost touched, and the farther and farther they turned, and after a few turns, they disappeared. Some people went up to look at it, and found that there was such a sign on the ground, and it took only a few seconds before and after it was formed. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it." Chen Zhen nodded hurriedly.

After hearing this, Xiahoudun was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and said, "Isn't this just like the crop circle?" ”

"Yes." Yuan Shao replied.

Xiahoudun smiled bitterly, "Let's take care of the aliens?" ”

Yuan Shao also shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Theoretically speaking, supernatural events refer to strange phenomena beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so any supernatural phenomena are within the scope of our record management. ”

"That's right," Xiahoudun continued, "Speaking of which, our group also has specialists who are responsible for what kind of UFO sightings and the like, but almost no one has come to commission an investigation, and even if someone comes, we can't solve it, and this kind of zero or first type contact about UFOs will not cause trouble in people's lives, so we generally choose to report it directly." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and continued: "In fact, the Spirit Recording Bureau has divided this kind of event, and we archive all supernatural events according to their level and divide them into the following categories: the first category is supernatural events, that is, supernatural events that the client thinks are supernatural events but are actually misunderstood, such as some ghosts seen due to illusions, or photos of ghosts, or a little more vicious is someone who pretends to kill people under the pretense of supernatural events, these do not have real supernatural forces involved, and only need to be managed by the general members of our action groups; The second category is general supernatural events, that is, the things that each action group deals with the most, including dealing with hauntings, dreams, and evil spirits, which requires some team members with psychic abilities to do; The third category is dangerous supernatural events, such as super-powerful ghosts and resistance demons, which are very dangerous and require the participation of fighting spirits, and some particularly dangerous tasks even need to be completed by the leader of the action team or above or participated by the special combat team with advanced equipment. Team leader Xiahou knows this, right? ”

"Yes," Xiahoudun nodded, "The tripartite classification system was clear when we first joined the Spirit Record Bureau. ”

Yuan Shao looked up at the sky, then wrapped his trench coat tightly, and then moved his gaze to Xiahoudun, "Actually, there is a fourth category." ”

"Category four?" Xiahoudun had never heard of the so-called fourth type of supernatural events, "It can't be aliens, right?" ”

"So to speak," Yuan Shao explained, "the fourth type of supernatural event is the unknown supernatural event, that is, the realm that we have not set foot in, the alien civilization, the demon world, or the underworld, which is something we don't know at all." ”

"Then you say," Xiahoudun suddenly said in a semi-mocking tone, "What kind of supernatural event is a supernatural event like ours, whose names are all from the Three Kingdoms period?" ”

"Haha!" Although Yuan Shao usually doesn't smile, he was also amused by Xiahoudun's sudden joke at this time, "That's more mysterious than aliens!"

"So you put this in the fourth category, right?" Xiahoudun immediately returned to his working state, pointing to the strange symbol on the ground and said.

"Exactly," replied Yuan Shao, "because this principle of pattern formation is not within the scope of our knowledge, we can only classify it as the highest level." ”

Xiahoudun nodded slightly, did not say much, he looked up at the sky, took another look at the bad weather, quietly thought about the connection between the tomb and this strange pattern, and leaned down, wanting to touch the pattern with his hand.

"Team Leader Xiahou, don't touch it!" Wen Chou hurriedly stopped Xiahoudun's behavior.

"How?" Xiahoudun didn't know why he was stopped, and looked at Wen Chou with some embarrassment.

Wen Chou explained, "We have just tested the various auras around the pattern and found that there is a small amount of demonic energy. ”

"Demonic energy?" Xiahoudun didn't know if it was because he was surprised or what, as if he didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked back.

"It's demonic energy." Yuan Shao replied, "Although the content is small, so we can't feel it only with our bodies, but the concentration of the aura of this demonic qi is extremely high, almost reaching the upper limit of the detection range of the portable spirit detector. ”

"Such a high concentration......" Xiahoudun was startled by Yuan Shao's words, but an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He turned his head to look in the direction of the grave, and found that the distance from the grave to here was less than a hundred meters in a straight line, so he asked Ge Yan and Chen Zhen, "You two just said that this pattern appeared after the haunting, so which one appeared after the haunting?" ”

Ge Yan glanced at Chen Zhen, thought for a moment, and replied, "According to the situation reported by the team members, it should have been after the first time." ”

Xiahoudun nodded, asked Chen Zhen again, and said, "Professor Chen, what you just said about the puppet found in the coffin, but it was carved into the shape of a woman?" ”

Chen Zhen replied: "Although the wood carving is incomplete, judging from the fragments, it should indeed be a woman." ”

"Then you said that judging from the regulations of the coffin, the owner of the tomb should be a county lord in the Eastern Han Dynasty, right?" Xiahoudun asked again.

"Exactly." Chen Zhen replied.

"Then I know what's going on." Xiahoudun nodded, then remained silent, went through the reasoning in his mind again, nodded from time to time, and walked towards the parking place after thinking about it.

The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what Xiahoudun meant, so they followed Xiahoudun together.

"Team Leader Xiahou," Yuan Shao followed most closely, "Why don't you finish talking?" What the hell is going on? ”

Xiahoudun was probably still calculating the course of events in his mind, so he didn't answer Yuan Shao's question immediately, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Zhen and Ge Yan also following and standing behind him, before he came back to his senses and began to speak, "If I guessed correctly, there are no bones in the coffin itself, and the white bones on the side of the bronze mirror are the owner of the tomb." ”

"This ......" Ge Yan couldn't accept Xiahoudun's guess for a while, and didn't know what to say.

And Chen Zhen didn't speak in a hurry, he nodded slightly, indicating that he could agree with Xiahoudun, "You go on." ”

Xiahoudun continued: "I think it should be like this back then: the noble ladies of the late Han Dynasty, for unknown reasons and purposes, were brutally killed, and a curse formation was laid here. But things soon brought a negative impact, the weather often appeared abnormal, and the ghost of the murdered county lord could not be dispersed for a long time, so some people used clothed mounds and wooden dolls to build tombs on the formation to appease the undead, plus eight bronze mirrors to suppress evil resentment. ”

"Indeed," Chen Zhen figured out a lot at once after listening to what Xiahoudun said, "In this way, the small size of the tomb can be explained, and it is logical that there are no burial goods." ”

"So, what are we seeing?" Ge Yan asked Xiahou anxiously.

"It's a ghost in the tomb." Yuan Shao didn't wait for Xiahoudun to speak, and explained first, "The deceased was full of resentment before his death, turned into a ghost, and then was overtaken or eliminated by someone, but it takes a long time for the resentment to disappear, so when we deal with the problem of ghosts, the Spirit Record Bureau will especially clean up the resentment to ensure that the resentment disappears in time." However, the people at that time did not have modern scientific methods, and they did not overkill the ghosts, but chose to suppress them with formations, which made the ghosts slowly dissipate over time, but the resentment could not be dispersed, so they slowly precipitated into resentful spirits. The resentful spirit may contain fragmentary memories of the deceased, but the resentment has already condensed, so it will not hurt anyone. ”

"Then why did it come out now?" Chen Zhen asked.

Xiahoudun didn't rush to answer, but put his hands in his pockets, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "It's because the resentful spirit is attached to the bones, it must be when the archaeological team cleaned up the bones, the resentful spirit ran out, and then linked with the puppets in the coffin that suppressed it, breaking the iron chain outside." ”

Ge Yan and Chen Zhen glanced at each other and asked Xiahoudun, "Then what do you mean, how should we deal with this matter?" ”

Xiahoudun smiled and replied, "Of course you don't need to deal with this matter, it's the job of our Spirit Record Bureau. ”

"So how do we need to cooperate?" Chen Zhen asked.

Xiahoudun looked around and thought about it carefully, "Since there are no homes around, it will be much easier to do, all the archaeological team members will retreat to the archaeological site at least three kilometers away tonight, and make sure that there is enough space for me to show up in the place where the resentful spirit appears." ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he was a little reluctant, "Will it destroy the archaeological site?" ”

"No, don't worry." Xiahoudun comforted: "We will lay a barricade array on the site, and we will not destroy anything on the site." ”

"Oh, that's good, then Professor Ge should go and prepare!" Chen Zhen said to Ge Yan, and then asked Xiahoudun: "How long does it take to deal with it?" ”

"It's hard to say," Xiahoudun took a deep breath and frowned, "That resentful spirit must have been affected by a high concentration of demonic energy, and it has been demonized, so it won't be too convenient to deal with." What's more, we don't know what secret is hidden behind that strange pattern, and what the connection between that secret is with this evil spirit. ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, his emotions suddenly became nervous, "That's ...... That wouldn't be dangerous, would it? ”

"Afraid of what?" Yuan Shao on the side looked disdainful, "With our special operations team to protect the leader of Xiahou, we have to see how capable the opponent is." Professor Chen, just follow the instructions of Team Leader Xiahou. ”

"Okay, okay, we can't help much, you all be careful." Chen Zhen said, nodded to Xiahou Dun, and walked towards the archaeological site with Ge Yan.

Seeing Chen Zhen and Ge Yan walking away, Xiahoudun said to Yuan Shao: "I went to Xudu for a meeting before, and Lao Cao told me that the council said that it had found signs of the appearance of a demon god-level pure demon, right?" ”

"Yes," Yuan Shao nodded, "It is said to be much stronger than ordinary pure demons." ”

Xiahoudun continued to ask: "Then you say, that pattern is filled with such a strong demonic energy, and the formation method is so weird, could it be the demon god's doing?" ”

"I don't know, it's possible," in fact, Yuan Shao didn't know the bottom in his heart, what he just said to Chen Zhen was just to let them relax, "I have already notified the above and asked them to arrange assistance, only everything is coming according to the worst plan." ”

Xiahoudun raised his head, glanced at the frightening and strange weather again, and said to himself, "I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tonight." ”

Night soon fell. The coffin in the center of the tomb trembled slightly, and a woman wearing a gorgeous Hanfu floated out of it, not so much a woman, but a female ghost, although the female ghost maintained a human face, but the skin was dry, the two eyes were two holes, and blood and tears were slowly flowing outward, her hands were slightly stretched forward, and the nails on her hands were extremely sharp.

The female ghost looked around, and found that there was no one around, and suddenly opened her bloody mouth, revealing her teeth like steel needles, and began to roar at the sky, the voice was sharp and distant, and it sounded very terrible.

Suddenly, the female ghost felt a human breath behind her, panicked, and hurriedly looked back.

It turned out that Xiahoudun was standing there, with his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the female ghost unhurriedly, "Are you looking for something?" ”
