Chapter Ninety-One: The Strange Trumpet
"Hi, hello, I, my name is Jing'er." Jing'er was obviously frightened by the enthusiasm of this group of recruits, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"Look at what! Haven't seen a woman, haven't you! Go home and see your mom! The face of our independent regiment has made you disgraced! Chen Cheng saw Jing'er's embarrassment, and immediately opened his mouth to scold. The group of recruits saw that the battalion commander was angry, and immediately rushed back to the barracks, but they were still secretly looking out.
"Miss Lin, is there anything wrong with this barracks?" Chen Cheng leaned over to Jing'er and asked in a low voice.
Jing'er glanced at Chen Cheng, then at the recruits in the barracks, and motioned for Chen Cheng and me to follow her to the corner.
"What's the matter, girl, the problem is serious?" Although I still don't think so, I still have some confidence in the compass in Jing'er's hand, after all, that thing was a real guy given to her by the blind man before, not a stall.
"Cousin, the yin qi in this camp is already very heavy, the yin qi in the barracks just now is particularly heavy, I suspect it, it's okay if nothing happens, as long as something happens, it must be there first." Jing'er said very solemnly.
"Otherwise, Battalion Commander Chen, you can help investigate those missing recruits, whether they all have anything to do with this barracks." Some things are obvious, since this is the place where the yin qi of the military camp is the heaviest, it must be the first place to have an accident.
Chen Cheng moved quickly, and after placing the two of us in the conference room of the regiment headquarters, he found the three company commanders who were stationed at the station at that time, and asked us about the disappearance of the recruits in front of us. Sure enough, several of the missing recruits were living in that barracks, and the most recent year was last year, when three were missing.
"When does a recruit go missing every year?" The blind man said that there is a saying that if there are regular ghost events or inexplicable supernatural events in the same place for a long time, then it can be defined as a "legend". For three or four years in a row, all the recruits in the same barracks have disappeared, and if it is still the same time, then it can be preliminarily characterized as an incident at the level of "legend".
"Recruits go missing every year at the end of August, before the recruit training camp is a month old." One of the company commanders pondered for a moment and said.
"End of August!?" Isn't it already late August, so the day when the recruits will disappear is approaching? "Battalion Commander Chen, are there any soldiers missing in that barracks now?"
"Now? Not yet, speaking of which......" Chen Cheng snorted his teeth, "You said I would send someone to move them out of that barracks now?" Is it still too late? ”
"It's a good thing that you let them all move out, but no one will be missing by then, and there will be no place to catch those messy ones." I lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, "Alas, it's not easy to do, if you move out, it's fine, that's naturally the best, I'm afraid to press the gourd and scoop up." "I glanced back at the doors and windows of the conference room, and to be honest, some of the things I thought of were a bit inhumane, and if they got out, I guess I would have to leave the barracks sideways." Camp Commander Chen, if you are willing, I want to try fishing. ”
As soon as the word "fishing" came out, everyone fell silent, and they naturally knew what it meant. As the name suggests, it is to put the bait and wait for people to bite the hook, but what is the bait? The bait is the recruits living in the barracks!
"This ...... Shall we discuss it with the regimental headquarters again? A company commander said hesitantly.
"No need to negotiate, just do it." Chen Cheng's fist slammed on the table, "At the end of the year, the regiment commander and instructor may be transferred to the brother army, and when the time comes, they will come to us with a different head, and they will come up with a set of scientific or something to talk about, this matter is not something we haven't encountered before, rather than a disappearance incident in the future, it is better to solve the things here in one go." Anyway, if there is no reminder from Shen Hao, this barracks will continue to be missing, and we will be, I don't know what the connection is. ”
The other three company commanders agreed, so under Chen Cheng's order, the technicians in the unit installed a very secret camera in the barracks when the recruits went out for training, and each camera was painted with the cow tears I got back from Lujia Village last time. It's just that I don't know that the spiritual properties of cow tears can't affect dead things like cameras.
Speaking of which, the camera is quite mysterious, many people and stories say that ghosts have no shadows, and they can't see ghosts in the mirror, but in other stories, people can often see ghosts in the mirror, and sometimes the ghosts that can't be seen have to be photographed with a camera, as long as they are photographed, they can be seen. This is simply paradoxical. I've tried to look at the poems in the mirror before, and I really can't see them, but there are so many supernatural photos in the world that really capture ghosts, which is really messy.
After everything was ready, Jing'er and I moved into Barracks 45, which had been temporarily vacated for us, and Barracks 44, where new recruits were always missing, was right next door to us.
In addition to my and Jing'er's beds, there were several large-screen monitors in Barracks No. 45, which showed the scene in the barracks next door and the feedback from all the surveillance cameras within 300 meters of the barracks. For the sake of convenience, the regiment headquarters also specially assigned six female signal soldiers to us, in teams of two, every eight hours, to ensure that even if Jing'er and I slept together, someone could find out about the abnormality of the barracks next door as soon as possible.
To be honest, staring at the surveillance screen on the monitor screen was a very boring thing, and I only watched it for more than an hour before I fell asleep in the bed that belonged to me. Jing'er was better than me, fiddling with the compass for a while before falling asleep.
When I fell asleep, I had a strange dream, in which I seemed to be a soldier, but I seemed to be a bystander, and I was in a battlefield where bullets and shells were flying everywhere, but I could not hear any explosions or shouts, and all I could hear was the loud sound of the bugle in my ears. Wait, the bugle sounds!? I sat up from the bed suddenly, it was not a dream, it was the sound of a real bugle in my ears, but the sound of the bugle seemed to be a little hazy and ethereal, so that I didn't know where it came from for a while.
Look out the window, the bright moon is in the sky, the two female soldiers are looking depressed, the sound of the military horn does not seem to have any effect on them, and sighs softly, this blowing is not lonely, but trouble.
"Did you hear the bugle?" I gently patted the shoulder of the female soldier who was monitoring the barracks next door, and the female soldier seemed to be patted back from my distracted state, and hurriedly stood up and saluted me, "Chief, yes, what's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." I patted her on the shoulder twice more, motioning for her to sit down, confused, I can understand this very well, I was confused when I saw it myself, and I couldn't blame her, "Do you often blow the trumpet in the middle of the night?" ”
"What trumpet is blowing in the middle of the night? Unless it's an emergency assembly for recruit training, but this time has passed the stage of playing emergency assembly, and there will be no trumpet blowing in the middle of the night. The female soldier looked at me with a puzzled expression, a little confused about what I was talking about.
"Can't you hear me? Such a tone. "I'm not surprised that she can't hear the bugle, and if she did, she shouldn't have been so depressed. I imitated her in the tone I heard. "You should be familiar with the military number, what is it?"
"This is the assembly number, is there anything strange?" The female soldier looked at her inexplicably. I could only shrug helplessly, if you knew what I heard now, you wouldn't have said that.
"Alas, look, there's a problem in the barracks!" Another female soldier was attracted by our conversation, glanced at the monitor out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly whispered.
