When Tang She, Bai Zhi, and the three of them finally approached the ancient tower, they found that there was another huge ruin under the ancient tower.

The so-called ruins are made up of countless dilapidated buildings, which were once high-rise buildings as if they were thrown into the desert by a huge tornado, and they are like toys discarded by giants, thrown everywhere.

Tang She walked over to a building covered in sand dunes and looked at it.

Tang She said: "This is modern architecture. ”

Torture also said: "It looks like it should be the same era as us." ”

Bai Zhi leaned closer to the window: "Why are you here?" ”

Bai Zhi looked into the window, and then said, "It seems to be an office building, you look inside." ”

Tang She and Xingshu looked closer, and found that the floor where the window was located was an open office, with partitions between each desk, and there was a computer on the table, but the computer's display screen was old-fashioned spherical, not the current liquid crystal display.

Tang She said: "I still use a spherical display." ”

Xingshu thought for a while and said, "I was probably still using the spherical screen monitor more than ten years ago, right?" ”

Tang She said: "It should be, let's go in and have a look, maybe we can find something." ”

Tang She was the first to get in through the window, and after entering, Tang She looked around and said, "Look separately and see if there are any clues." ”

The open-plan office didn't look that cluttered, most of the things were in place, but not a single body was in sight.

The three of them continued to rummage, and when Tang She passed by a desk, he found a calendar on it, which showed the date 2009.

"In 2009?" Tang She picked up the calendar, "You guys come and see." ”

At this moment, Bai Zhi, who was not far away, said: "This computer is very strange." ”

Tang She and Xingshu immediately stepped forward, Bai Zhi pointed to the monitor of the computer and said, "Look, the brand of this computer is ADD, have you heard of this brand?" ”

Tang She shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, maybe it's a copycat monitor?" ”

Bai Zhi asked the torture technique: "Torture technique, on your side, is there this brand?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "No, the world on my side is almost the same as yours, and the computer brands are all those ones." ”

Bai Zhi pointed to the chassis and said, "You see, this is also the logo on the chassis, this is not a compatible machine." ”

Bai Zhi said that she dismantled the computer case shell, carefully looked at the CPU, motherboard, hard disk and other objects inside, and found that the brands on it were all ADD.

Bai Zhi wondered: "Is there a computer company called ADD?" ”

Tang She and Xingshu both shook their heads: "Unheard of." ”

Torture asked, "Is there a way to recover the data on the hard drive?" ”

Bai Zhi removed the hard drive and looked at it: "It looks like the hard drive is not damaged, but it doesn't work here, I can only take it back and try it." ”

Tang She handed over the calendar: "You see, from the calendar, the time is 2009, and it is September. ”

Xingshu looked at the calendar and flipped through it: "If you look carefully, you may be able to find relevant written records, maybe there are notebooks or the like, you must know that in 2009, most people were still used to handwriting." ”

The three of them continued to rummage separately, and soon, Tang She found several books of accounts on the desk in the corner, as well as statements and other things.

The text written on the report is all in Chinese characters, but all are in traditional Chinese, and the company name written on the report is "Chenzhou Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd."

Chenzhou? What is it? Tang She looked at the words, he didn't understand, is this company called Chenzhou, or is the location of this company called Chenzhou?

Soon, Bai Zhi found a damaged mobile phone, took it to Tang She and said: "This mobile phone is exactly the same as a mobile phone from Nokia back then, but the brand is not Nokia." ”

Tang She took it and looked at it: "KLO? What brand is this? Haven't seen it. ”

Tang She raised his mobile phone and asked the torture technique not far away: "Torture technique, on your side, is there a KLO brand?" ”

Xingshu stepped forward with a notebook he had just found: "No, eh, isn't this a Nokia N97?" The price of this phone was not cheap back then. ”

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "We have never seen a computer brand or a mobile phone brand, it's too bizarre." ”

Tang She asked the torture technique, "What do you have in that notebook?" ”

Torture said: "I haven't seen it yet." ”

Tang She said: "Open it and take a look, maybe you can find something useful." ”

Looking through the notebook, I found that the phone number and name were recorded in front, but the phone numbers were very strange, all of them started with 0, a total of 9 digits, not like a landline, and I didn't want to be a mobile phone.

Bai Zhi looked at those phone numbers and said: "These numbers don't look like they are domestic, they seem to be from Southeast Asia, I think about it, yes, they are from Thailand." ”

Tang She and torture are confused, Thai phone number? Could it be that this building belongs somewhere in Thailand? Even Thailand doesn't have a ADD brand, right?

Tang She continued to look at the contents of the notebook, and found that the notebook was like a diary, except for the things at work, it was a record of daily life, most of which were what was bought and how much money was spent.

Tang She said while looking at it: "Look at the handwriting is a man, and it uses Chinese characters or traditional characters, and the calendar just now is also full of traditional Chinese characters, but the recorded phone numbers are from Southeast Asia." ”

When Tang She turned to one of the pages, he stopped, because the text recorded the depressed mood of everyone in the diary that day-

It's been a year and a half since I came to Chenzhou, I thought I would show my talents here, and then return home, who knows, Chenzhou is not as good as it says, it's simply a paradise for crime, I heard that in the non-commercial area, there are several robberies and murders every day, even those Chenzhou police don't care, it turns out that under the bustling appearance, there are so many crimes hidden.

After reading it, Tang She said: "I saw the name of this company on the report before is Chenzhou Import and Export Trading Company, I thought it was the name of the company, but I didn't expect that the city where this building is located is called Chenzhou, judging from the description, it is definitely not in China." ”

Xingshu said: "There is no place to use traditional Chinese characters in China?" But I do know that there is a place called Chenzhou. ”

Tang She asked, "Where?" ”

Xingshu said: "The Huaihua generation in Hunan was called Chenzhou a long time ago. ”

Tang She said: "It's definitely not that. ”

Torture said, "Do you know? Legend has it that sewing thousands of corpses, that is, the group of corpse chasers, the origin is in Chenzhou, and the spell that controls the corpse at that time is also called Chenzhou Fu. ”

Tang She shook his head and said, "It's far away." ”

Bai Zhi took the notebook and looked at it carefully, looked at it for a long time, and said: "I know that there is a place called Chenzhou, not in China, but in the Golden Triangle, but it is a place of legends." ”

Tang She asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Bai Zhi said: "If the previous torture technique didn't mention sewing thousands of corpses, I can't remember, many years ago, it was rumored that in the deep mountains of the Golden Triangle region, there is a very prosperous city, called Chenzhou, also known as the city outside the law, that is to say, the surrounding countries of this city can't be managed, they claim that Chenzhou is the freest place in the world, you can do whatever you want there." ”

Tang She frowned: "I've never heard of it. ”

Bai Zhi said: "This is normal, because for the Southeast Asian countries around the Golden Triangle, the existence of Chenzhou is a shame, but they also have to rely on Chenzhou's economy, so Chenzhou has become a place that exists, but is not recognized as existing." ”

"On our side, we haven't heard of the existence of Chenzhou, if there really is, it is impossible for our Department of Ancient Science not to know." ”

Bai Zhi said: "The most important thing is that legend has it that Chenzhou was established by a group of thousands of corpses. ”

Hearing Bai Zhi say this, Tang She felt that it seemed to be able to be connected, because Chenzhou is the origin of sewing thousands of corpses, and sewing thousands of corpses has established its own city in the Golden Triangle generation, a city outside the law, called Chenzhou, which seems reasonable.

Tang She continued to look down and found another clue, the owner of the notebook wrote that he needed to move, because a series of strange things had happened, and it seemed that there was a problem with the quality of the house.

In the next few pages, the owner of the notebook is worried, because rumors are rife in the city that a lot of strange things have happened, and several houses have disappeared out of thin air for no reason.

Seeing this, Tang She pointed his finger and said, "Maybe that's why this building appears here." ”

"Keep looking down and see what else is written." ”

On the back page, it reads—

The state government issued an announcement today, telling us that those houses disappeared because of subsidence, but they sank into the ground, and the state government is organizing manpower to rescue, but some people said on the Internet that the subsidence is because of monsters drilled out of the ground, those things are like giant centipedes, the location of the accident has been blocked by the state government, no one is allowed to enter or exit, although someone uploaded a photo, but it was identified as a photoshop.

Tang She said: "The state capital? There is no such word in modern times, is it? ”

Bai Zhi said: "It looks like the governing body of Chenzhou. ”

Torture Shu took the notebook: "It looks like there is still an Internet in this place." ”

Bai Zhi shook her head and said: "Their network is only limited to the use of Chenzhou, just to ensure that secrets are not leaked, I heard that if you want to enter Chenzhou's network from the outside world, you must go through the dark web." ”

"It's so bizarre." Tang She couldn't figure out whether what was written on it was true or false, "Does Chenzhou really exist?" ”

Bai Zhi said: "About three years ago, we solved the task of guarding once, which was to send a merchant into the Golden Triangle area, and I knew that there was a place in Chenzhou at that time. ”

Tang She became interested: "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Bai Zhi continued: "Three years ago, probably in July, when I happened to be in Thailand, I received a notice from above, asking me and two other teams to meet in Chiang Rai and escort a merchant, but at that time it was not said that we should escort to somewhere, just that the merchant himself knew the way, and the remuneration was very high, as long as he did not break the law, no one would refuse money, but when we arrived to see the merchant, we found that the merchant dragged his family with his mouth, and brought a large amount of gold, all gold bars and nuggets, carried by five elephants. ”

Bai Zhi felt very strange, this person didn't want to die? If you want to enter Jinshanjiao, you can bring so many gold bars, isn't this waiting to be robbed? And he dragged his family with him, and he went alone, and he brought a family of eight, and it looked like he was fleeing.

Where is the merchant going?
