Chapter 66: Forest of the Dead

The next day at noon.

Leng Jue stood on top of the ruins of the old campus in the West End. Looking at the blackened ruins, he sighed with emotion.

This is the former site of the original teaching area of Yungang University, because a fire that year completely destroyed this place.

At that time, Leng Jue did not come to Yungang University, let alone join the psionic group. Later, I heard that this fire was very weird.

Unable to find the cause, a fire burned for three days and three nights, and the affairs team and the psionic team were all dispatched at that time and could not extinguish it. On the day of the fire, just in time for the students' collective meeting, nearly half of the students in the entire school wailed and burned into charcoal in the blazing fire.

So far, it is the worst terrorist incident in Yungang University, and no one wants to mention it. Since then, the new teaching area has been moved to the South District, and the entire ruins have been forgotten here, and future students will not know about the existence of such a thing.

And here, it has become a place where yin qi is extremely heavy. School staff often report hearing the miserable cries of ghosts wandering in the ruins, and even seeing black charcoal-like humanoids walking among the ruins.

When Leng Jue, who has yin and yang eyes, came here for the first time, he really felt the cold here, and he also saw the ghosts of a few students who stayed here wandering. But what is certain is that since the souls who died in this fire were not these few, the West End is so large that it must be scattered in some corners that are not easy to be found.

With such a spreading yin qi, all the staff of the psionic group and the affairs team had to move their offices to the western district. Keep an eye on what's going on here. Because so many people died in this fire, their resentment will definitely affect the ghost gate, so this matter is especially serious. This is also the reason why the West End has slowly become a faculty district.

Another main purpose is to slowly investigate the real cause of the fire, which seems too coincidental no matter how you look at it.

It was also because of such a fire that the number of students at that time decreased dramatically, and the balance of yin and yang near the ghost gate was greatly damaged. It was also from that time that Yungang University began a plan for a large number of students.

And the bell tower where Zhao Qian was hanged is not far from this ruin.

At this time, the footsteps of two people came from behind Leng Jue, and when he turned around, he found that it was a vulture with a big brush on his back limping over, and he was followed by Li Xumu with an expressionless face.

Leng Jue stared at Li Xumu, with indescribable doubts in his heart.

Just this morning, Li Xumu suddenly found a certain gathering point of the psionic group. According to his description, he set off at noon yesterday, and after a night of time, he arrived in the West District, and successfully found himself.

This is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, because as a student, there is no way to enter the West End. First of all, all the main roads leading to the West District are checked by the members of the Affairs Group, and no vehicles or pedestrians can enter. And without a clear map, it is impossible to get to the West End.

If you choose to go off the beaten path and take a different path, it's even more confusing. Originally, Yungang University at night was not very peaceful, after all, it was on the edge of the ghost gate, and it was very likely that many resentful ghosts would choose to wander in a place with little yang energy at this midnight time. This is also the reason why the office has given up guarding some of the normally sparsely populated paths.

As far as Leng Jue knows, at the junction of the South and West Districts, there is a place called the Forest of the Dead. It is true that it can be penetrated from this unguarded forest to the western side, but it is also a place with a very strong atmosphere, and it is rumored to be inhabited by all kinds of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects and snakes.

In the aftermath of the fire, the Secretariat had a meeting with the Psionic Group. One of the representatives of the office suggested that the fire that destroyed the teaching area was most likely planned by the mastermind behind the fire, and if the arsonist was not found in the western district, then it was very likely that he passed through the forest of the dead and was fleeing to the southern district. Because the other roads have been blocked, any disturbance will definitely be refreshing.

After repeated discussions, this speculation was also possible, so the meeting decided that the secretariat team would send a 15-member search team in full armor to the Forest of the Dead to find clues. But as soon as these 15 people left, they lost the news and never came out again.

As the principal, Li Zhong immediately made a decision, thinking that these people must have discovered some important clues, and did not rule out the possibility of encountering a gang of gangsters who set fire to the fire. So all the delegates and psionics were summoned for another meeting, and an even more powerful search party was formed.

The team consisted of 30 people, and almost all of the members of the Unit involved in the task were almost one in a hundred, some of whom were experienced mercenaries who had experienced quite a brutal hail of bullets. Some are killers, with sharp reflexes and a wealth of fighting skills.

The most important thing is that the psionic group also sent a group of manpower. There are two people in total, one of whom has the ability to remotely transmit brainwave information to transmit the situation in the forest in real time, and the other has the ability to perceive the direction of the spiritual substance.

Such a strong team still did not make it to the end of the mission. All lost contact in the Forest of the Dead. At that time, Phoenix was not yet in charge of the psionic group, but was only one of the members of a group. The man who is the leader is a mysterious man codenamed Bloodclaw.

The reason why he is called a mysterious person is because Leng Jue doesn't know him either, since he joined the psionic group, he is in the state of the phoenix in power, as for where the blood claw is so far, life or death, no one mentions it, and no one knows.

At that time, the Blood Claw received a brainwave signal from the member of the psionic team who had been sent to the Forest of the Dead.

The signal seems to be interfered with by some powerful magnetic field, and the entire brain is filled with screams and rattling noises. Vaguely I could hear the muttering of the psionic team member, who was unable to describe what the person was saying during the psionic meeting, but only indicated that it was a distressed brainwave message, and then it was interrupted, and no more brainwaves were received.

Bloodpaw felt that this interference was due to the spiritual nature, and perhaps the group had encountered some powerful resentful spirit. Since then, news has spread between the Psionic Group and the Affairs Group in the Forest of the Dead that there are ghosts roaming.

In the next emergency meeting, Bloodclaw suggested that this matter be put aside, such a powerful unknown existence, although it is a potential threat affecting the ghost gate, but this is a problem that needs to be dealt with for a long time, send more people to investigate, and the results are expected to be the same, it is better to put it aside for a while, and now the most important relocation work will be completed first. After all, if there is no new teaching area, then the release of new topics becomes a problem.

Li Zhong of the affairs group couldn't say anything after hearing this, so he had to give up. Slowly, the matter of the Forest of the Dead, everyone gradually hid it behind. Because many years have passed, there have been no more shocking incidents in the Forest of the Dead, and no one seems to have provoked them, and no other harm has been brought to the school.

Therefore, as a student, alone, even if Li Xumu is different from ordinary people, he can't imagine that he rushed to the West District overnight on his own. Moreover... The psionic divisions are deeply hidden and will not be easily found. Could it be that Li Xumu didn't pass through the Forest of the Dead and came to the Western District through another way? Leng absolutely doesn't know much about all the terrain branches of Yungang University.

Leng Jue looked at Li Xumu who was standing in front of him, smiled and said, "See you again." Unexpectedly, only one day later, he decided to join the psionic group. But I'm surprised you were able to show up in the West End alone. As he spoke, he stared at the tattoo on Li Xumu's leg that had just been imprinted.

Li Xumu's cold eyes also stared at Leng Jue's eyebrows, which were almost the same tattoo, and said lightly: "It seems that your psionic group relies on this thing to restrict the actions of all members. Speaking of which, I have some sympathy for you. ”

Leng Jue's eyes glanced up at the location of his tattoo, narrowed his eyes and replied, "Oh, you said life and death charms." What is there to sympathize with? Aren't you doing the same now? ”
