Chapter 166: Chi Han is missing
However, it is estimated that the onmyoji was not lightly injured, and his spiritual power was almost consumed under the complex movements of the manipulating god, so the flight speed was not too fast. Chi Han and I climbed all the way up the stone staircase, and we could always see that its figure was a little above our heads. Occasionally, blood dripped down and ticked on the stone staircase, revealing a little scarlet blood.
Unexpectedly, the Xuanmen spell was not able to hurt this onmyoji, but it hit him hard with a pistol. Therefore, under modern civilization, the decline of Xuanmen magic is not unreasonable.
Chi Han and I climbed the ladder very fast, and immediately followed the bird-like god and climbed up directly. When we went up the stone staircase, we found that we had come to an open place. It seems that they have climbed back to the ground, and have come to a place that seems to be a dilapidated and abandoned warehouse.
Looking around, there were metal debris piled up everywhere, and you could vaguely tell that it was some old machine that had been abandoned. Inside the wreckage of the machine, there are also some twisted glass tubes of different shapes, like some test tubes, and like strange instruments.
The floor was littered with needles and syringes, broken glass bottles, and large yellowed piles of newspapers. All in all, everything looks very shabby.
The place where we just climbed out was an entrance disguised as a wide sewer. A sewer lid was removed, and it was from under this that we crawled out.
Strangely, we obviously came out with the onmyoji who was taken away by the bird-form god, and the interval was only a few seconds, but at this time, he was completely gone. It's a large, empty abandoned warehouse. It stands to reason that they wouldn't have found a place to hide in such a short period of time.
"Strange, what kind of place is this? So where can the Onmyoji hide in such a short period of time? "I went around and didn't see any clues. I couldn't help but say something a little weird.
Chi Han turned the Buddha beads on his wrist: "Then don't worry about that little Japan for now, let's see what the situation is in this place first." I think. There's a good chance we'll get some truth about the Shanghai vampire right away. ”
We had been in the tomb for more than two hours, so it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining in the sky. In broad daylight, and with the fact that this place is covered with transparent glass, vampires certainly won't be too presumptuous, which is a good thing for us.
Inside this abandoned warehouse, I don't know what kind of secrets are hidden.
Chi Han and I walked a few steps around, and I accidentally stepped on a newspaper on the ground and looked down. There also seems to be a person's head on it, which occupies almost half of the page.
This is...... An old newspaper?
Curious, I picked it up and saw that the date on the newspaper was July 5, 1974. It's actually an old newspaper from more than 20 years ago, but I didn't expect it to be so well preserved.
"The lackey of imperialism, pseudo-scientist Liu Shanwen, was arrested today and paraded in the streets." I took the newspaper and read out the headlines word by word.
Imperialist lackeys? Pseudoscientist Liu Shanwen?
The headline of the news made me a little confused, so I didn't quite understand what it was talking about. Unexpectedly, Chi Han next to me saw this news, but his face changed and he looked very surprised. snatched the newspaper from my hand: "I didn't expect it to be a report about Liu Shanwen." This man. It's a pity. Alas......"
Seeing Chi Han's expression of regret and regret, I asked him suspiciously: "Who is this Liu Shanwen?" Do you feel so sorry? ”
Chi Han looked at the newspaper in his hand and sighed: "This Liu Shanwen is a very powerful scientist. After the liberation of China. He gave up the superior environment abroad and resolutely returned to China to participate in the construction of New China. It's a pity that he originally studied biological science, which was a very unpopular project at the time. So there was no support at all. I was depressed for more than 20 years, but then the crazy ********** began. During the ten years of catastrophe, it was turned out that the ancestors were engaged in feudal superstition. He was also a spy of capitalism, and finally he was arrested and paraded in the streets, abused, imprisoned in a cowshed, and then tortured to death. This newspaper should be the report when Liu Shanwen was arrested and paraded on the street. ”
After listening to Chi Han's words, I also felt a little uncomfortable. Brother Long told me about all kinds of miserable things during the ten-year catastrophe. But fortunately, it didn't spread too much to the Xuanmen Spirit Alien Realm. After all, those red guards want to arrest a powerful Taoist priest or monk to parade and criticize the streets, it is almost impossible, but it is a pity for those scientists and teachers.
"Alas, the mistakes made by the higher authorities have indeed brought ten years of catastrophe and disaster to this country. But how do you know so clearly? And it seems that you know a lot of secrets. You and this Liu Shanwen ......"
"He was a colleague of my father. If it weren't for the fact that my mother's family was a glorious poor middle peasant, and my grandfather participated in the Anti-Japanese War, I am afraid that I would have ended up in the same fate as Liu Shanwen. Hehe. Chi Han's face showed a feeling of empathy and sadness, and an emotion that he had never felt before appeared on him.
My heart was also heavy, looking at Chi Han's burly body, I didn't know what to say. This kind of emotion may only be understood by those who have experienced it, right? If it weren't for the protection of his mother's family, it is estimated that Chi Han would hate this country now, right? No wonder he was reluctant to join a religious office, and he didn't seem to be interested in the people in the religious office, it turned out that it was also for this reason......
So why did he still work as a police officer? Again, this is a place that struck, and I was struck as strange. Suddenly, I realized that although I seemed familiar with the man in front of me who was usually round and always smiling, in fact, I was far away from his world, and he had never told me about himself.
"Okay, okay, don't think too much, these things are in the past after all. Now what we need to do is to find out those evil vampires and little Japan first. I patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
Chi Han nodded and threw the old newspaper in his hand to the ground. He shrugged his shoulders, and the gloom on his round face dissipated with a certain unsettling aura. It became the Chi Han I was familiar with again, which made me feel relieved.
After Chi Han and I walked around the barn, we didn't find anything suspicious except for a large number of discarded metal instruments and various glassware, which also made us feel a little frustrated.
However, we found the door to the abandoned barn. It was blocked by a large number of strangely shaped instruments, which naturally did not make it difficult for us, even if my military cultivation technique was basically abolished at present, but it was much stronger than ordinary people. In addition, Chi Han was originally a Buddhist King Kong, and his strength was extremely strong, so the two of us moved away from the abandoned machine blocking the gate without much effort and walked out.
An empty courtyard in front of it, surrounded by some long stretching bungalows, looks very typical of the feeling of an agency or research institute about 20 years ago.
What is this place?
I looked around curiously, but I didn't expect that from the tomb-like place under Hongkou Park, I actually went directly to a place that seemed to be an agency unit. The forces that built that underground passage in the first place were really a bit awesome. What a huge undertaking this must be!
"Here it is...... Hongkou Institute of Biology? Chi Han looked around. His face changed again, and he muttered to himself.
Hongkou Institute of Biology? It seems that this is indeed an agency unit, but looking at the abandoned and dilapidated appearance, I don't know how many years no one has worked in it.
Wait a minute! Biological Research Institute?! Just now, when Chi Han looked at the old newspaper in the abandoned warehouse. seems to have said that Liu Shanwen, a returnee scientist who was criticized and tortured to death in the streets, was engaged in biological science, and this is the Institute of Biological Sciences, and there is his newspaper in it, so can it be that this is the poor scientist Liu Shanwen. A place to work before you die! Of course, this should also be the place where Chi Han's father worked before his death.
"That's right. Hongkou Institute of Biological Sciences...... When I was younger, I used to come here to play. I still remember. There is a tall magnolia there, which is very old. Chi Han had a reminiscing expression on his face, and stretched out his hand to point towards a place in the empty courtyard.
I looked at the place where he pointed and sure enough, I saw that there was a very tall magnolia tree, such a tall magnolia is very rare in Shanghai. It's just a pity that this rare tall magnolia has withered and is a dead tree. Otherwise, this season should be able to produce flowers.
"Since you are familiar with this place, then Chi Han, can you think about it, where did that little Japanese Onmyoji hide? And does this have anything to do with vampires? ”
Chi Han shook his head: "I don't know, I was very young when I came here, and I don't really remember anything." I just remember that at that time, although there was a research institute here, there were not many staff inside, and they were not valued by the superiors, and all in all, it was very marginalized. ”
Well, since that's the case, there's no way around it either. However, the area of this place is not small, and it is probably unrealistic for me and Chi Han to search all over this place and find any valuable clues. But we're both here, so we can't just go.
I saw that Chi Han's mood seemed to be a little wrong since I saw the newspaper about Liu Shanwen just now, so I also sighed. I took out the ultra-long-distance walkie-talkie from my waist to see if I could get in touch with other police officers.
As a result, I didn't expect that my luck was really good, and it happened that there was a patrol police team around here, and I was really connected. I hurried to get them over quickly, and at the same time asked them to send out another staff to inform the construction team in Hongkou Park not to let them worry. Then call all the police officers to gather in this Hongkou Biological Research Institute, it is obvious that this place should be the real problem!
Little Japanese onmyoji, vampires, should all have a close relationship with this place! And it's not too far from Hongkou Park, so I think we've found a breakthrough. As long as the place is searched carefully, there are bound to be some significant discoveries.
After I arranged tasks for those police officers, I was ready to comfort Chi Han. At the same time, tell him that he should not be infected by too many personal emotions at such a time. But when I turned around, I found that Chi Han was gone!!
Oh my god! What's going on here?
It was only time to turn around and say a few words. Chi Han, this guy is actually gone? Such a burly fellow, standing there like a black bear. How can you say that if you don't see it, you're gone? Moreover, this place was originally an empty yard, and it should be difficult to run into the surrounding bungalows in such a short time.
I'm really speechless, how can this guy play missing at such a time? Without saying a word, he just disappeared, leaving me alone in this place.
Chi Han was gone, so I walked around the Hongkou Institute of Biology, but I didn't find any trace of him. When I walked to the row of bungalows, I found that the doors were locked with iron locks and there was something like a seal on them. But in the long wind and rain, these seals have almost broken.
After walking a distance along the bungalow, I found that almost all the rooms were locked, and it was impossible to enter at all. Then this is even more strange, where did Chi Han go? Could it be that like that little Japanese onmyoji, he disappeared so inexplicably?
A very uncomfortable feeling suddenly welled up in my heart. I don't know where this uncomfortable feeling came from, but I just felt that the change was a bit sudden, and I was a little caught off guard.
But there's not much that can be done now. I could only sigh and walk towards the gate of the Hongkou Institute of Biology. It was a large iron door, tightly closed, rusty now. Look out from the inside. I was able to see that there were two arm-thick steel bars stuck behind the door. Now the two steel bars are rusted together with the big iron door, and they can't be opened at all. It seems that the police officers who came later will have to use ladders to climb in.
I stood behind the gate and rubbed my temples with some headaches. I feel like what has happened in the past few days has really made me feel powerless.
First, the vampires of Shanghai reappeared, and then all the branches of the religious offices were withdrawn to Beijing to deal with the major mysterious crisis. Then the shadow of the Japanese Onmyoji loomed after the vampire incident, and this strange underground structure connected to the shape of the tomb was found under Hongkou Park. Now Chi Han's mood changed when he saw a poor scientist named Liu Shanwen again, and now Chi Han is also missing!
This link is linked to the change, and it really makes me feel powerless.
I'm only sixteen or seventeen fucking years old, and I'm still a Taoist cultivator who is only two or three percent of what I normally do, but I didn't expect the things I encountered to be more complicated and gloomy.
"Brother Jiang, are you in there?"
A voice came from inside the walkie-talkie. It's the patrol leader I contacted before, we all call him Da Niu, and he's a pretty nice guy. He must have arrived here with the others.
I didn't use a walkie-talkie, I shouted directly outside the big iron gate: "That's right, it's me." There should be very important clues in this Hongkou Biological Research Institute. However, this big iron gate is already rusty and rusty, and you can only find a way to climb over the wall one after another with ladders. ”
"Well, good. Act now! ”
Then I heard a noise outside the big iron gate, presumably as they were quickly building a foldable ladder and preparing to climb over the wall. After all, they also knew that if this place was really related to vampires, then it must be easy to search during the day, and once it was night, even if many people were together in full armor, I am afraid that it would be not low.
These police officers are indeed relatively elite, and soon, they came over the wall one after another, standing in front of me, there were about fifteen or sixteen people, and it seemed that Da Niu had gathered about three groups of patrol officers.
Because the order has been issued from above, Chi Han is fully responsible for this matter, and I am nominally his assistant, so these police officers will also obey my dispatch.
The big bull glanced at me and asked me a little strangely: "Hey, Brother Jiang, why isn't Captain Chi with you?" Aren't you two basically acting together? Just now, I said that you went into Hongkou Park together and dug up the underground tomb. ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head: "It's a bit complicated to say. But to put it simply, I and you Captain Chi were weirdly lost just now. Now I don't know where he went, so when you are searching this abandoned biological research institute in a carpet way, you should also pay attention to Captain Chi's whereabouts, you know? ”
"Yes! Got it! ”
I nodded, and told them to continue in groups of four or five, divided into groups of three, and began a carpet search of the abandoned biological research institute. Now that there are more people and better equipped than I am, we can find a way to open the doors of those rooms that look like labs and see what's inside.
I followed Da Niu and led a few policemen to the front of this row of bungalows. When I checked on my own, I found a room at the end of the row of bungalows, with several heavy locks, which looked a little different. I think it must have played a more important role at the beginning, so I naturally wanted to go in and take a look.
The bull made a color to a few of the policemen in his team, and someone took out a strange tool and aimed it at the big iron lock, only to hear a click, and the iron lock actually cracked. Then he fired a few more shots with his pistol, and several large iron locks shattered and fell to the ground.
"Okay, Brother Jiang, let's go in." The bull picked up his pistol and kicked the door open.
I nodded, and then I snatched it from my waist and kicked the door open with him, and if it wasn't until the last minute, I wasn't going to use my magic in front of these ordinary cops.
With a bang, the door was kicked open by me and the big cow, and suddenly a rotten smell and dust wafted out. I sniffed it keenly, making sure there wasn't anything too strange in the room for the time being. So, Da Niu and I rushed into this room with these policemen. It wasn't until we got inside that I was sure that it was indeed a lab, full of all kinds of machines, all kinds of bottles and cans, some of which had some liquid that hadn't completely dried up, and I don't know what it was.
"Search this lab." Da Niu gave orders to his teammates. He himself was with me, and we studied and observed the lab together.
"Brother Jiang, you say, will those hateful vampires just hide in this place?" Da Niu said a little viciously, as if he hated the legendary vampire very much.
"I don't know, but according to the information and clues that Chi Han and I have gotten so far, even if it is not a vampire's lair in this biological research institute, it must have a lot to do with it. Later, if you see anything abnormal, shoot directly, and don't be soft. ”
Da Niu nodded and said slowly: "I naturally know this. Damn, I've lived for more than 30 years, and I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I didn't expect that there really are vampires in this world. It's a game-changer for me! Hehe, speaking of which, I don't know if the legends of other demons and monsters are true. ”
In fact, I really wanted to tell him that I was a Taoist priest who knew Taoism standing in front of him, and I didn't know what kind of surprised expression he would have. (To be continued.) )
