In the detention center, I sat on a hard bench, the light bulb hanging above my head swaying slightly, the light was not very good, and my eyes were a little dizzy for a while.

There were two comrades in green uniforms sitting opposite, and the reason for arresting me was actually very simple, Yudie's concubine called the police, and I was invited in to investigate because of this matter.

"Why hurt! Say! ”

The comrade on the opposite side was more excited, slammed the table and shouted.

I squinted my eyes, maybe I was a little confused because I had drunk, it wasn't the first time I entered the game, even if I hurt someone, Brother Yong and Situ would soon fish me out, and it wouldn't be effortless at all. So, I didn't have to speak, I was able to walk out of the gate after 48 hours or less.

"Don't confess, do you? Do you know what your behavior is? Do you know that it is to undermine the unity of the people, to deliberately hurt people, and to pay legal responsibility? ”

The comrade opposite was relatively young, and there were particularly obvious pimples on his face, so I smiled and said, "Are you team Zhou here?" ”

The little comrade was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What Zhou team?" ”

"Call your Zhou team, and I'll talk to him."

I said with a smile.

"Don't fool around here, hurry up and explain your motives!" As soon as he finished speaking, another comrade next to him leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, the little comrade was stunned for a moment, and then stood up, and not long after the two of them walked out together, a middle-aged man wearing a jacket and looking about forty years old walked in, with dark skin and a resolute face.

After walking in, he closed the door, then threw me a cigarette, lit it for me, sat down on the chair opposite me, and said, "What's the matter with you kid?" Why do you hurt people if you have nothing to do? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't want to say the reason, anyway, it's wrong for me to hurt people, what does the other party mean?" Want to sue me? ”

"It's not going to be sued, it's just a few hundred dollars for the cost of medicine. But you're still young, and you have to endure some things, I know that your business is special, but our people's society is different from you in the old forest, everything has to be reasonable and not hands-on, you know? ”

He said with a sigh.

I nodded, took a puff on my cigarette and asked, "When can I get out?" Don't let me stay in it, if the grandson is willing to go private, give me a few hundred yuan and let me out on bail. ”

"Hey, I knew what you kid meant when he called me, stay here, anyway, I'll talk about it when I can go out."

After saying that, he snuffed out his cigarette butt and walked out, while I waited for the police from the detention center to come and take me away, but I didn't expect that what walked in after a while was not the police but two men in black suits who looked very decent.

One of them, wearing glasses, glanced at me, looked quite arrogant, sat down and said, "Mr. Ba Xiaoshan, is it?" ”

I was stunned, nodded and said, "It's me, who are you?" ”

"Hello, my surname is Zhu, I am one of Mr. Xu's secretaries, and I am entrusted by him to see you."

Mr. Xu? I was slightly surprised, although the fat man and I intended to visit him in the past five years, his old man seemed to be very busy and was always outside, and the housekeeper at home also said that Mr. Xu's whereabouts were secret and could not be disclosed to the public. In the case that we couldn't meet several times, the fat man and I went less, after all, we were also very busy at that time, and we were not in Shanghai for three days.

But although we have hardly met in the past five years, we are also our benefactor after all, so I have always remembered Mr. Xu in my heart.

"He asked you to come to see me?"

I was surprised.

"You look at the materials and photos first."

Secretary Zhu motioned to the people around him to hand over the two document bags, I took it and looked down carefully, there was more information in the file bag, and the first information I saw was written "Research Report on the Origin of Demons", most of the other documents were similar documents, which seemed to be about the research on the existence of the demon clan in China, and there were some evidence to prove the existence of demons, including some vague photos, as well as stories and historical materials recorded in ancient books. There are even photos of demons in some ancient tombs and ruins. There are a lot of them.,In fact, there's still a lot of speculation about demons.,But in fact, it's just a one-sided study.,Seeing demons and even catching demons depends on luck.,In this regard, I belong to the type of good luck.。

"What's so strange about this information? There are many people who engage in this kind of research, and some of them have never seen the real demon clan in their lives. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said.

"Look at the authors of these reports."

He reminded me, I took a closer look, the author of this report is really from the hand of one person, this person is called Shen Liangye, I am very unfamiliar with this name, and there seems to be no master of this name in the circle.

"I don't know this man."

I shook my head.

"Mr. Shen Liangye is one of the experts in the study of demon clans in the market today, about 65 years old, he has been involved in the study of demon clans in China for nearly 40 years, and has written a series of reports. Although ignored by the orthodox academic community, the credibility of his report is very high, and he is also a good friend of Mr. Xu. ”

Secretary Zhu opened his mouth to introduce me, I closed the information, and asked strangely, "What does this expert have to do with me?" ”

"Xuanhai, have you heard of this place?"

When Secretary Zhu opened his mouth to ask, I was stunned on the spot, frowned and said, "Xuanhai, Demon Shadow Xuanhai, the realm of spirits." This is the place where the legendary spirit was born, but there are very few records about this place, and I remember mentioning this Xuanhai in the "Demon Name" written by Gu Nanzi, a famous metaphysical master of the Tang Dynasty at that time. It is said that it is not actually a sea, but a huge lake, similar to the existence of Tianchi, located in the center of the three sacred mountains, which are Luoye Mountain, Jianyu Mountain, and Qinan Mountain. The three mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, and outsiders are not allowed to see them. There are also demon clans and mountain gods guarding them, so Xuanhai has no way to confirm whether it exists until today. Many scholars of metaphysics, both ancient and modern, at home and abroad, firmly believe that the Xuanhai really exists. And it must be one of the birthplaces of the demon clan. However, what has not been confirmed is uncertain, and since it is uncertain, there is nothing to say. ”

"About three months ago, Professor Shen Liangye received a letter from a mysterious person, mixed with a map and a photograph of the Xuanhai Sea surrounded by three large mountains emitting seven-colored light. The map shows the locations of the three sacred mountains and the route to them. Professor Shen Liangye, who got this information, was very excited and thought that this was a good opportunity, so he discussed it with Mr. Xu. But at that time, Mr. Xu had something important to do, so he hoped that Professor Shen Liangye could wait and discuss it when he returned. But Professor Shen Liangye, who was very urgent, finally chose to act on his own. A team of 20 people was formed, including three of his assistants and apprentices, and the remaining fourteen members of the team who were responsible for guarding and digging the pit. They set off two and a half months ago and kept in touch at first, but by a month earlier they had broken off. Subsequently, no news was received about them for a month-long period. It was as if the world had evaporated. ”

Secretary Zhu explained, I nodded, and said: "Inexperienced people rashly enter a place like Xuanhai that has not yet been confirmed to be real, and the guards brought over are probably not very professional, I am afraid that they are trapped, to put it mildly, they may have died inside." ”

"This is what Mr. Xu is worried about, Mr. Xu helped you five years ago, you owe him a favor, and now Mr. Xu hopes that you can repay this favor and help Professor Shen Liangye come back safely."

As soon as Secretary Zhu said this, I immediately became serious, this favor must be repaid, I said: "Mr. Xu spoke, I naturally agreed, but with all due respect, Mr. Xu has such a great ability, wouldn't it be better than us juniors if he made his own move?" ”

"Mr. Xu has more important things to do, and he lacks skills, if you agree, we will take you out of the bureau immediately, and we will reimburse all the expenses of saving people this time, and we will take out 300,000 yuan as reward compensation after the matter is completed. May I? ”

Secretary Zhu asked.

I smiled and held up my handcuffed hands and said, "Then please help me uncuff them." ”
