Chapter 164: Underground Tomb
Anyway, Chi Han and I have decided to dig up this area of bushes to see what is going on down there!
Even with the little Japanese onmyoji and vampires in the way, we can't stop.
After discussing it with Chi Han, we decided to go our separate ways. After all, this kind of matter involving applying to and reporting to the relevant departments, I must be completely confused, so it is better to leave it to Chi Han to solve it alone. I went with the other police officers to patrol and monitor some possible suspects or buildings near Hongkou Park.
But a whole day passed, and nothing of great value was discovered. And the three police officers who disappeared last night have still not been found, and the state of not seeing anyone alive or dead makes me feel a little aggrieved. The enemy hides in the shadows and causes us all kinds of trouble.
Looking at the fading sky, my mood slowly sank like the sunset gradually sinking in the sky.
The day passes, the night comes, and it is time for the kind of creatures that live in the darkness to move. If there is no effective way to stop them, there may be more serious things tonight, which makes me feel extremely anxious.
The current situation is really in a dilemma.
If these police officers are allowed to continue patrolling, there is a good chance that they themselves will be targeted by vampires and killed; And if patrols are stopped, ordinary people may face a very dangerous situation again. The most troublesome part is that the only known people with supernatural abilities in Shanghai are me and Chi Han! And we weren't made of steel, so we needed to rest.
Facing the turmoil of vampires and little Japanese onmyoji. I'm really feeling a little overwhelmed.
In the end, after thinking about it, it can only be said that dozens of police officers were divided into two groups of rest and rotation. Each batch is divided into a smaller number of groups and a little more people per group. This uses the number of people to maintain the level of safety.
After arranging this, I went back to the police station to meet Chi Han, and he told me good news. That is, because the above also attaches great importance to this kind of thing, so there is no prevarication of the relevant departments to do things before, and it was approved immediately. And start construction early tomorrow morning, block off a large area in the depths of Hongkou Park and carry out construction.
This news finally made me feel a little relieved: "It seems that this time the government also knows that the matter is urgent, and the approval and action are so fast." Now we really need to solve this situation as soon as possible. The more it drags on. The more problematic it is. ”
Chi Han took a sip of the tea on the table, put down the teacup and looked at me and said, "It is natural for the relevant departments to act quickly. I have also heard that Beijing has issued a very high-level administrative order urging major cities to do everything in their power to maintain urban stability and to give the greatest support to the non-governmental forces concerned with spontaneous stability maintenance. That's a lot of fun, isn't it? ”
I also understood Chi Han's words. It seems that Beijing is indeed in big trouble this time, and the Chinese supernatural world also knows that there is a conspiracy against the entire land of China. Therefore, while concentrating on the defense of Beijing, he ordered local governments to maintain social stability. There are also some patriots who are not officially aware of the Xuanmen magic and may spontaneously resist some conspiracy invasions, hoping that the government will make it easier for them.
Therefore, this time, Chi Han's relevant request was approved by the relevant departments so quickly and acted immediately.
I smiled bitterly: "If only I had such an efficient operation and such an attitude of sincerely serving the people." It is estimated that there will be more Xuanmen people who are willing to join the religious office and work for the country. ”
Chi Han also said a little helplessly: "It is also the status quo that cannot be changed at present, and the group of people from the religious office have begun to become a little bureaucratic after entering the state organization, not to mention other state organs. Well, not much else. It's useless for us to be anxious about the possible crisis tonight, it's better to get a good night's sleep and early tomorrow morning. We went to Hongkou Park on time to dig that bush area! ”
Then Chi Han also used some of his Buddhist spells similar to meditation mantras to help me fall asleep as soon as possible, and let my soul and body recover to a certain extent. It's a buff Buddhist spell.
So that night, I didn't even have a dream. I slept very sweetly, and I felt a hundred times more energetic after waking up.
Chi Han first waited for the people in charge of patrolling last night to make a report, and learned that there was no police disappearance last night, and there was no abnormality in the various street areas. He and I breathed a sigh of relief and told the police officers on night duty to go back to sleep, and then we drove to Hongkou Park together.
There are already a lot of construction vehicles of the Urban Construction Bureau parked at the entrance of the park, and there are many people around, talking and pointing, and they are also curious why so many vehicles are suddenly parked at the entrance of the park.
We didn't bother to explain anything to these people at this time, but quickly entered the park to the place where we wanted to dig. A large area of it has been surrounded by martial law, allowing ordinary people to watch from a distance and not get too close.
"Hello, we are one of the leaders of this overall operation, and we are also the one who declared to excavate the bush area deep in this Hongkou Park." Chi Han took me through the cordon and said to a man wearing a hard hat and a chief engineer's name tag on his chest. At the same time, he showed his own documents and the approval of the relevant departments.
The man in the hard hat stretched out his hand: "Hello, I'm Zhou Jian, and I'm the person in charge of this excavation work." All personnel involved are in place on time and ready to begin digging, waiting for your instructions. ”
Chi Han nodded and glanced around: "Okay, it's troublesome Brother Zhou." Let the brothers begin the construction, and finally the place will be dug up by 12 o'clock at noon. ”
After listening to this, Zhou Jian said something to a few people in charge, and then they commanded all kinds of large machines, and quickly began to push away the bushes, and then they could start digging the dirt below......
I saw these giant machines that looked like steel monsters starting to work at a rapid pace. There was a rumbling sound, and I was also full of sighs in my heart. Not to mention all sorts of powerful thermal weapons, heavy weapons. The destructiveness brought by these ordinary construction machinery alone is more powerful than ordinary Xuanmen spells, I don't know how many times. In the industrial age, where technology is becoming more and more prosperous. The decline of metaphysics is also justified.
It's just that people with powerful mystical supernatural abilities are hiding in the people, wreaking havoc and creating panic, but these technologies are not something that can be dealt with. This cycle is also the way of heaven.
Zhou Jian seemed to be a little curious about the identities of Chi Han and me and this time, so he chatted with us. Maybe it's because the people who do this kind of engineer don't have much scheming, so he asks very directly. Asked why Chi Han, a small police captain, had so much power to even apply for approval from the city government so quickly to block off most of Hongkou Park for this kind of rough excavation.
Naturally, he couldn't tell him about this, so Chi Han casually perfunctory, saying that this was confidential. But thinking about what he said is right, some of the things in this are indeed confidential, and they must not be known to ordinary people like him.
"So, why dig up this place? And dig deep. What are you looking for underground? Zhou Jian looked at us with a strange and curious look, and looked back at the progress of the construction from time to time.
I was just about to say that we didn't know what we were looking for, but Chi Han quickly poked me: "This is also confidential, so I have nothing to say." Brother Zhou is really sorry. We are doing the confidential work, please don't ask too much. ”
Day! This guy is still a Buddhist, and it seems that those routines in the officialdom are also good.
Zhou Jian couldn't ask anything. Maybe I was a little bored, so I went to direct the construction. Chi Han and I were left there, looking forward to the progress of the construction a little nervously.
"Chi Han. What if you dig deep into the ground and nothing comes out? What to do? It's so hard for people and money. If you don't get a little information and clues about this vampire incident, it really won't be worth the loss. ”
Chi Han was also a little nervous, so he was smoking and spit out a puff of white smoke at me: "Then what's the solution?" That's the only clue we have at the moment that might be useful, and that's all we have at that. I hope to dig up something, but I can only ask the Buddha and his old man to bless me. ”
Chi Han and I waited nervously and expectantly, closing our eyes here. Time passed quickly, and after a while, it was already in the middle of the day, and it was noon, and the weather was a little hot, but Chi Han and I, as Xuanmen spell cultivators, naturally didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Two comrades, I dug something. Come and see if it's what you're looking for. Merely...... I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing in a place like Shanghai, under Hongkou Park, which is really incredible. ”
Zhou Jian's voice suddenly sounded next to us, saying that the excavation construction team had dug something underground in this area, waiting for me and Chi Han to go over to see if they had dug up the things indicated above.
That's great!
I was secretly happy in my heart, and Chi Han and I glanced at each other, then followed behind Zhou Jian and walked towards the place where I had dug something. There was already a huge crater in the earth that was more than five meters in diameter and several meters deep. It looks like a construction site, and the shape of the park is not very visible.
"It's really incredible, two comrades, I really didn't expect that there would be such a strange thing in the underground of the urban park......" Zhou Jian kept chattering to express his surprise, but it made me and Chi Han also curious. I don't know what was dug up that made this guy so surprised.
When the two of us walked to the edge of the pit and saw the things below, Chi Han and I were also slightly surprised.
Because in this huge hole dug by various excavation machines, there is a ...... Tumulus!!!
We dug up an ancient tomb under Hongkou Park!
This...... What's going on?
Chi Han and I were both a little confused, we thought it was some sackcloth bags or something, how could it be an ancient tomb? And just by standing on the edge of this crater and looking at it, you can feel that this ancient tomb must be some years old, at least by looking at the extent to which the top of the tomb and the small half of the tombstone exposed have been eroded by the soil. The time should not be less than a hundred years.
It's sun! If this matter is not solved, how can an ancient tomb be drilled out?
I was a little speechless. However, on the surface, he naturally couldn't show any clues, just looked at Chi Han. Wanted to see what he had to say.
"Well, thank you very much, Brother Zhou Jian, this is indeed what we are looking for. But I would like to ask you to have the brothers dig up some more of this thing below, so that my assistants and I can go down and observe it. Chi Han said to Zhou Jian very politely.
This request was naturally reasonable, and Zhou Jian couldn't refuse, so he nodded and went to arrange it.
I quietly asked Chi Han, "What should I do next?" Shall we go down and see this ancient tomb? ”
Chi Han also replied to me in a low voice: "Then what else can I do?" We suspect that there is something strange underneath this bush area, and we are going to dig up an ancient tomb now. Isn't that weird? As for the connection between this tomb and the current vampire incident, we need to go down and see for ourselves. ”
Half an hour later. That Zhou Jian came to tell us again, saying that half of the ancient tomb below had been dug out, and if we continued to dig, it might take a long time to protect ourselves from being directly dug up, and asked us if it mattered?
Chi Han gritted his teeth: "Forget it, thank you, Brother Zhou." Trouble finding a way to get us to the bottom of the pothole, let's go and probe first, otherwise it's too late to get in trouble. ”
Zhou Jian naturally had no objections. He also arranged for Chi Han and me to be placed at the bottom of this pit, next to the ancient tomb that had been dug up.
The two of us gathered around the tomb and began to take a closer look.
The tomb looks strange, with the top of the tomb taking on an arc like an upside-down eggshell. As for the tombstone in front, it is a common rectangular shape, but there is no trace of writing on it. I don't know if there was no handwriting left on the tombstone in the first place. Or has it been eroded away over a long period of time?
I walked around the tomb and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Not even a single thick earthworm was seen here. I asked Chi Han a little uneasily, "Could it be a mistake?" This tomb doesn't look unusual, and there aren't even big earthworms around it. ”
But as soon as I finished speaking. Suddenly, we felt as if something was moving under the dirt below, and the soles of our feet were keenly felt through our shoes. And soon, the dirt surface at the bottom of the crater all around us began to move, as if something was about to break through the ground below.
This is...... Earthworm!!!
Chi Han and I both suddenly understood this strange situation, damn it, there must be a lot of earthworms coming out of here. We're still standing in this place, and once a large number of earthworms emerge from the dirt and swarm, not to mention whether it will be life-threatening for both of us, but this disgusting situation alone is enough to send chills to our hearts.
What to do? What to do? Do you want to use some kind of Taoist technique?
But now that so many people are watching, if you really perform Dao skills in front of so many people, then this is too ostentatious, right? But if you don't use Dao techniques, you can only run away.
The situation is urgent.
Chi Han is also in a hurry, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he stretched out his hand and crackled on the tombstone of this ancient tomb. He was originally a Buddhist King Kong, and his strength was extremely great, and the tombstone crackled under such a beating. I was wondering what this guy was crazy about here, and then I heard the tomb click and click, and the top of the arc of the tomb suddenly opened in the middle, revealing a black hole!
It turns out that this so-called ancient tomb is just the entrance to a real underground huge ancient tomb, and the mechanism that opens the entrance is on top of this tombstone. Chi Han, this guy, actually found out by mistake.
"Get in, get in!"
He gasped and shouted, I naturally didn't need him to remind me, I climbed directly to the top of this arc-shaped tomb, and pulled him up with my hand. He raised his head and poked his head above the pit and shouted to the construction workers who were watching in surprise: "Brother Zhou Jian, let's go to this ancient tomb first to see the situation and carry out the task above!" If any disgusting underground creatures come out later, you can all burn them to death with fire. Lockdown the place so you can't let anyone else in......"
At this moment, I had seen a large number of entangled, disgusting, flesh-red earthworms emerging from the dirt. Chi Han and I didn't have the heart to think about the good luck and evil in this ancient tomb, and as soon as our bodies moved, we jumped into the entrance to the top of this ancient tomb.
I felt like I was in a fog, but it came and went so quickly, and almost instantly, I felt my feet on solid ground, the texture of a stone floor. It doesn't seem that the entrance is too high, and it is indeed man-made underneath.
As soon as he stood firmly, he heard a rumbling sound, and the top of the arc-shaped tomb above slowly closed, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into an endless darkness, and he couldn't see his fingers.
I was just about to use my spiritual power to burn paper money to illuminate it, when there was a dazzling light next to me. It's the glow of a flashlight!
Chi Han's round face appeared in the light: "Brother Jiang, carrying a high-power police flashlight with you is a good moral character." How much spiritual power this has to save you. ”
I gave him a blank look: "Fart, I haven't seen you carry so many cases before, I haven't seen you take it every day, you are just lucky, and you just took it with you this time." ”
After the two of them said casually, the first thing to do was to observe the environment here. Obviously, the tomb-shaped building above just now should indeed be just an entrance, and here it is an underground building space!!
Above us was a chimney-like passage, and then to the top of the arc-shaped tomb, and where we were now was a square of about ten square meters. Ahead of us, there was a straight passage that stretched ahead, and I don't know how deep.
I swallowed and took a deep breath: "Let's ...... Couldn't it be that you've entered the lair of those vampires? This place looks eerie and damp, perfect for a vampire kind of disgusting thing. ”
Chi Han shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, let's go ahead and see the situation first." ”
So we walked along the only passage in front of us, flashlights, and walked forward.
The passage was about 1.8 meters high, and we were able to stand up straight as we walked, and our hair sometimes rubbed against the top of the passage. On the walls on both sides of the passage, there are all kinds of reliefs, which are some hideous and terrifying monster forms, which make the already gloomy environment even more terrifying.
But Chi Han and I are not ordinary people, where can we be frightened by these monster reliefs. I'm just wondering, what kind of place is this? Is it the lair of those vampires? If so, then who built this place and how did it come about? And where did those vampires come about? How did you get from here to the ground?
With all kinds of questions, Chi Han and I groped our way forward in this oppressive and narrow passage......
In a dark and remote environment, it is easy for people to lose their ability to judge time and not know how long they have walked. But fortunately, the watch on our wrist reminds us that we have been walking for three minutes, but we have not yet walked out of this passage.
All of a sudden, I saw a relief fresco on the wall that seemed to be a bit of a problem. When I looked closely, I saw that there were several humanoid objects drawn on it, sucking blood around a child-like person.
It depicts a vampire sucking the blood of a young child! (To be continued.) )
