Chapter 118 Fire on the Old Campus
At the same time, near the wetlands in the southern area of Yungang University.
Holding a red umbrella, Phoenix leaned over to check the two pairs of footprints in the mud, and said in an undulating tone: "Li Xumu is really moving towards the ferry, and it seems that there is a little lover behind him." ”
Judging from the two pairs of footprints on the ground, one large and one small, they should have been left by a man and a woman. Phoenix Carmine's cheeks became serious, and her mouth silently read: "What do you want to do?" As he spoke, he turned his head under a nearby tree.
The white eagle was now sitting under the tree, his eyes closed and motionless. His body was naked, revealing strange symbols all over his body. In the four corners around the body, four oil lamps burned, and the flames on the wicks swayed unsteadily.
In this kind of early morning wilderness, there are all kinds of strange bird chirpings everywhere, sometimes chaotic chirping, sometimes suddenly quiet, and abruptly stopped. The phoenix shook the rain and dew on his sleeve, and this chill gave people a sense of foreboding.
Phoenix walked up to the White Eagle, his expression already looking a little anxious. And the white eagle seemed to be asleep, no matter what sound the phoenix made beside him, he was always motionless.
A small scorpion slowly crawled along the neck of the white eagle to its lips, and when the phoenix saw it, he flicked it away with his fingers, wiped his hands with a disgusted face, and looked into the depths of the wetland, and said to himself anxiously: "Why haven't you come back..."
The early hours of the morning were already underlit, and coupled with the rain, the view of the wetlands ahead was obscured by fog, and nothing could be seen.
At this time, the flame of one of the oil lamps beside the white eagle began to shake violently, and the phoenix frowned when he saw it, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately used an umbrella to cover it, but the flame seemed to be deliberately blown out, and it shook left and right, and the flame disappeared instantly, turning into a wisp of green smoke and rising.
Immediately after that, the other three oil lamps also began to become unstable. Seeing this, the phoenix directly took out a string of bells from his arms, and began to shake rhythmically in the direction of the wetland.
"White Eagle... You've got to hurry... If you don't come back now, you won't be able to come back..."Phoenix shook the bell nervously as she looked at the three oil lamps behind her.
Then the second and third lamps were extinguished one after another, and only one oil lamp remained, but the flames were also fading.
At this time, the white eagle, which was leaning against the tree, suddenly gasped for breath and coughed violently. The phoenix immediately ran over and straightened the white eagle, anticipating something serious.
"Do you know how dangerous it is for your soul to go out for so long?! These four soul-attracting lamps will be extinguished immediately, and if the last one is extinguished, you won't be able to find the direction to go back to **, and the soul will be lost outside forever, similar to a lonely ghost! ”
The white eagle was still panting, and his pale face still barely squeezed out a smile: "Heh... You're too worried... Call... Call... Soul detachment is my ability... Add in the soul fixes (those tattoo symbols) on my skin, how can there be... There is no way to come back easily. But... Or thank you for the bell ringing... Help me with the guide...."
The phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, and understood that the soul of the white eagle must have encountered some trouble when it went to the wetland in front of him for so long.
"What do you see? The reason why you can't come back in the first place is because there are spirits in this wetland. ”
The White Eagle was still breathing, and after a moment of relaxation, he began to answer the phoenix: "This wetland, indeed, is roaming with a large number of ghosts, and some of them have been possessed by the corpses and turned into a group of corpses. Hopefully, that newcomer, Li Xumu... Without entering this wetland, it is impossible to get out of the crowd of corpses. ”
Phoenix's eyes immediately widened in surprise when he heard this, how could there be such a place in this university?! This area near the ** River in the Southern District was originally a forbidden area, and almost no one usually came here, and it was indeed difficult to detect the presence of zombies here.
Phoenix guessed that this wetland had artificially buried many corpses, which was why the place became so yin, full of wandering ghosts, and finally evolved into zombies.
"And such a thing?!" Phoenix realizes that the problem is serious. Balancing yin and yang and suppressing the ghosts in the school was originally the main responsibility of the psionic group, and now there is such a place in the school, and if it continues like this, it will definitely endanger the stability of the school, and even affect the ghost gate.
The white eagle put the clothes back on his body, and just this simple act of putting on clothes made him panting, and the side effects of the soul leaving ** for a period of time still need to recover for a long time.
"You know... Where did these bodies come from? Call... Call... They... All students in this school... They were all students who died in that fire...", White Eagle said weakly.
"What?! Is that the fire in the old school area?! The phoenix was even more surprised, and then the surprised expression turned into anger, his right hand clenched into a fist, hammered to the palm of his left hand, and the plump twin peaks also trembled a few times, and said indignantly: "These old foxes of the affairs group...!" It was true that many people died in that accident, but most of the aftermath was resolved by the affairs group, and the reason why our psionic team couldn't intervene was that Li Zhong suspected that the accident was caused by the school's internal personnel, and it was obvious that the object of suspicion was pointed at the psionic group! However, there was no evidence, so it was decided that the matter should be investigated by the branch alone. ”
"You mean Principal Li, who transferred all the bodies from that fire to this wetland, which is usually uninhabited? That's why it led to the current result..."White Eagle also knew the fire, and remembered that it was a school celebration event, most of the teachers and students in the school were all concentrated in the teaching area of the West District, but the fire did come strangely, the fire and the burning speed were beyond everyone's imagination, so that it was too late for everyone to withdraw from the teaching area, or was burned alive and smoked to death. Because of this, the old school area was burned to the ground, and finally had to be abandoned, and the new school area was rebuilt in the current South District.
Phoenix gritted his teeth and snorted and scolded angrily: "These bastards of the affairs group! Throw the corpse into the wilderness like this! Now to create such a situation, we still need to wipe our ass! If these corpses come out of the wetlands and endanger the school, then we psionics will not be able to escape from it. ”
Phoenix thought for a while, regained his senses, and told White Eagle about his next step: "With your current body, don't cross the wetland with me, I'll go find Li Xumu alone, and you, go back now, transfer all the teams back, and concentrate on dealing with the wetland." ”
"What?! You went into the wetland alone to look for Li Xumu?! The white eagle was a little relieved, his soul was out of his shell just now, and he had seen the scene in the wetland in the state of a spirit body, the corpses wandering around, and the ghosts that were also in the state of the soul, pulled him, and the soul body almost failed to come back. The danger is unimaginable.
"Don't worry, since I'm now the commander-in-chief of the psionic group, I'm not going to die so easily." Phoenix still insisted on this decision, resolutely facing the direction of the wetland, and before leaving, he specially instructed the white eagle: "After you bring people over, be careful not to disturb the affairs group, I think there is a problem within the affairs team now, and someone should hope that the school will be paralyzed one day in the future, so that the ghost gate will be affected." Because this kind of irresponsible abandonment of a large number of corpses in the wild is not like a decision made by Li Zhong, Li Zhong will definitely know the impact of these corpses on the ghost gate. ”
"You mean that the fire was also caused by someone within the secretariat? He also tricked the members of the task group into suspecting the psionic group. This act of differentiation .... Indeed, the relationship between the two organizations has become increasingly stiff in recent years. White Eagle frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and continued: "If it is really as you guessed, it must be possible to plan a fire like this, it must not be a single person, but a group. Then this adversary may not only have infiltrated the affairs group, but perhaps the psionic group is not safe as well, and these people may still be brewing the next terrifying incident somewhere on campus. If even the two organizations at the core of the school are corrupted, I am afraid that Yungang University will really usher in a catastrophe. ”
Phoenix thinks that White Eagle's analysis is very reasonable, reminiscent of some recent strange events, Zhao Qian's death, the killing of sparrows, and even Li Xumu analyzed that someone deliberately broke the gossip of the school through murder, counting the more distant events, the fire in the old teaching area. All suspicions point to a mysterious sect that has long since disappeared - the Evil Blood Cult.
"Your worries are not unreasonable, in this way, cancel the decision to transfer all the members, and this matter should also be low-key in the psionic group, contact reliable members in a single line, and form a team to come to the wetland to quell these zombies. In addition, when the affairs team transported these corpses here, they will definitely leave some clues, pay attention. After the phoenix gave the order, she pulled up the red dress and tied it around her waist, revealing her slender legs in the direction of the interior of the wetland.
"Okay." The White Eagle turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the Phoenix, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
And in the thatched hut at the location of the **river ferry, Gu Yuan said a surprising sentence:
"That's right, your name is Zhao Yunuo, and you went to this university alone to investigate the cause of your sister Zhao Qian's death and find out the murderer. So I'm telling you now, your sister did commit suicide.
