Chapter 455: The Unscrupulous Faceless Man
When Shen Yu woke up at the aviation hotel at Kashgar Airport, I had already talked to Xiaoyu on the phone again.
She was so busy that she hung up after only a few quick conversations.
Although there are only a few words, I have already captured the information from it, it turns out that in the past few days when Shen Yu and I were away, something earth-shattering happened in Weiyang!
An underground tomb was found in that part of the town, and the dozens of people working on the tomb were all missing. Lin Ying and the others went down to explore, and they were almost in danger!
Moreover, it is said that many treasures and cultural relics were found in the ancient tomb, and dozens of people who entered the ancient tomb killed each other because of the competition for treasures, and most of them died in the end.
Because of the dangerous situation of the ancient tomb, the police are currently only cordoning off the nearby mountainous area, preparing to enter the cave again when the conditions are ripe.
The most important thing is that in the Niangniang Temple on the ground, Lin Ying and the others actually confronted the faceless man for the first time, and the faceless man also went down to the cave and arrested four people - now these people have also become corpses with inscriptions on their foreheads, and they were placed overnight on the most prosperous Zhuxiang Square in Weiyang to openly create terror, and the whole city was boiling because of this incident, which made the people panic.
I told Shen Yu what I knew, and Shen Yu's face was heavy.
"Don't you think the Eight Gate Tomb that Xiao Yu said is a little strange? I've never heard anything like it. ”
"There are no large underground tombs, for example, there is a 'Xuewei No. 1 Tomb' in Qinghai, which is the tomb of the Tuyuhun royal family in the Tang Dynasty, known as the 'nine-story demon building', and the tomb is full of twists and turns, layer upon layer, which can be called spectacular."
"Okay. Did you learn anything about Captain Garlic today? ”
I hurriedly told the story of the discovery of Wen Mushan and his wife in the three directions, and then talked about a child with Nargli syndrome in Ai Zezi's class.
"Looks like it's going to have to come back." Shen Yu said.
"I heard that Wen Tingxu's Western Night Expedition Team is about to set off, do you want to tell them about the discovery of the ruins?"
Shen Yu became serious: "This matter is confidential, don't say anything about it first-I'm afraid that it will be dangerous to break in rashly, so let them find some clues around first." ”
We discussed tomorrow's itinerary, there is no direct flight from Urumqi to Weiyang, and we have to transit in Zhengzhou, so the earliest flight to Weiyang will be at 4:50 p.m.
"There is another way, is to take a plane to Songshan, but also have to stop, the earliest plane to Songshan is a quarter past two in the afternoon, from the airport to the high-speed rail station will take half an hour, from Songshan to Weiyang by high-speed rail to one hour. If everything is fit, it can save an hour, and it is quite a toss-up. ”
"An hour is an hour, and four corpses came out at once, and they were still in public, and I always felt that the time for a showdown with the monsters of the faceless man was coming."
I took out my phone and searched for information about "Wei Yang", and most of the private videos and photos about the case were deleted, and the information was basically completely blocked.
"I'm afraid of causing panic." I explained to Shen Yu, "There are a lot of things, but in fact, the more public the better—after all, it is a bit beyond the scope of understanding. ”
"Don't you think the unknown is the scariest thing? The unknown has room for imagination, and most of the terrifying things are actually people who are scaring themselves. Shen Yu said with emotion.
That being said, you also have to understand the situation of the clerk. It is true that it is good to make information open and transparent, but for those incomplete situations, how many people can do not distort and distort, do not add oil and vinegar, and can analyze them rationally?
"If something goes wrong after the disclosure, and the leader investigates it, then his position will not be kept. Therefore, in order to keep one's job and position, it is the simplest and least risky thing to do to close the news across the board – this is also called 'doing nothing'. ”
Shen Yu glanced at me disdainfully: "You can correct the crooked reasoning now, so the tool of logic must not fall into the hands of people with incorrect starting points." ”
"That's right, the ancients said that the king and the queen of Chen all used the words 'wisdom is enough to refuse admonition, and words are enough to disguise wrong', that is, they have smart heads, even if you criticize him for doing bad things, you can't talk about him, but people are convinced." I said again.
Shen Yu spread his hands: "Plus a erudite, but he can stir things up, and he can give examples, which is even more terrifying - you better sleep for a while, and there will be a tough battle to fight tomorrow." ”
The next day, we woke up early in the morning. Fortunately, the flight was quite powerful, all the way to Songshan was not delayed, we rushed to the high-speed rail station, just boarded the high-speed rail, Lin Ying's phone called.
"Is Mr. Shen by your side?"
"Yes." I handed the phone to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu took the phone and talked to Lin Ying for ten minutes before hanging up. Although I couldn't hear it all, I guessed from her answer.
It turned out that these days, in addition to major cases, the weather in Weiyang was also a little abnormal.
It was originally a scorching hot weather, but yesterday there was a sudden burst of strong convective weather, and the whole urban area was covered by dark clouds, lightning and thunder. After the lightning and thunder, the temperature in the entire Weiyang dropped by more than ten degrees, and it didn't start to warm up until this morning.
While experts say it's a common weather change in summer, citizens don't admit it. Coupled with the incident of the four corpses in Zhuxiang Square the day before yesterday, the whole city was suddenly boiling.
Rumors on the Internet are also overwhelming, and many gods and goddesses who are usually very hidden have jumped out, and they spread rumors in the group, lying that it is the end of the world, and they keep selling anxiety.
Some people even started a business of renting out "doomsday shelters" and selling "doomsday charms", claiming that as long as they hung a charm at the door, they could save the day and avoid the doomsday disaster......
"If you're not afraid of bad guys, you're afraid of panic." Even Shen Yu put down the phone and said so.
"You're right, since the group of faceless men have exposed their bodies in a grand manner, it means that they have been unscrupulous and fearless.
"However, even if there are four corpses of 'Koukarma' now, then with the previous Du Wanqian, Xu Chuyue and Qu Jiang, only seven evils have been removed from the ten evils, and there are still three evils that have not been completed, so they are jumping out now, it is a little too hasty, right?"
"What if the faceless men were hiding just to gain time, and now they don't care about that?" Shen Yu proposes an explanation.
"What time? What do they want to do? ”
"A few days ago, you saw the big hands of the statue of the West Night in the desert, and the hands were full of white bones - why do the people of the West Night Kingdom believe in the devil? How did they go missing?
"Faceless man, what do they have to do with West Night? Are they the devil himself—what do you think about faith, and under what conditions does a person have to have faith? ”
