Chapter 6: Turning the World Upside Down

......

As the minutes ticked by, all I could hear was the hoarse voice of the old woman and the ticking of water droplets from the rock wall.

The old woman glanced at the pitch-black roof of the cave, and the roof began to squirm as if sensing the gaze below.

Retracted his gaze and said, "When I fell into the pit, I unfortunately met the demon vine, the demon vine entangled the others, and the two of us and the other three were also lucky, some rolled down from the gap, and some were only entangled by one or two extremely thin branches, and then cut the rattan with a magic weapon and survived." It's just that the magic weapon has been seriously damaged since then and has been scrapped, otherwise maybe a few can be rushed out now, no, even one is fine", the old woman was silent in the past sadness,

"The remaining five people have also become like this, originally we were not much older than you, but we were eroded by the poisonous mist released by this damn bloodthirsty demon vine day and night, accelerating the loss of life, maybe it won't be long before we were not used as bait to chew bones and eat meat for monsters, and they would turn into a pile of white bones in this cave that did not see the light of day, hey, now that we think about it, dying happily at that time is what we dream of. The old woman smiled wryly.

After a while, the old tired voice sounded again, "Later, we learned that the magic vine was controlled by the group of orcs you saw just now, used to catch prey and cover the breath of the underground ore here, as for what I just said, the dimensional summoning beast is also because of the huge energy supplied to him because of the underground summoning ore, so that he can always seal the entrance of the pillar cave", the old woman didn't seem to want to continue to mention the sad matter, and hastily said the conclusion.

......

On the other side, when his best friend Ling Feng was stunned by what was happening in front of him on other continents, in the police station, Zhao Xiaotian was also shocked and angry.

"What are you talking about? Obviously, my friend was hit by a car in front of my eyes and pressed under that pile of goods, have you investigated well, have you been looking for someone carefully!" Zhao Xiaotian took the case.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! This is a police station, not a place for you to go wild, sit down honestly," reprimanded the lean young policeman who stood in front of a filing cabinet not far away, flipping through papers.

"I'm not a prisoner, I was investigated by you, I'm here to ask you to investigate my friend's whereabouts for me," Zhao Xiaotian said angrily.

"Xiao Wu, you're busy, it's okay here, it's okay" The old police officer sitting opposite Zhao Xiaotian, with a tall figure and a dignified Chinese face, waved his hand to the young policeman surnamed Wu, and then turned his head to Zhao Xiaotian and said" Young man, we have indeed seriously investigated, don't get excited, we can understand your feelings, our public security organs will do things, there will never be any omissions, you can rest assured, not to mention that this is not a complicated situation, when we rushed over, the scene was just you and the driver, and the friend you said disappeared, the driver was still in the cab at the time, seriously injured, you also know these situations."

The old police officer took the coffee brought by the young girl behind him, and pushed it to Zhao Xiaotian, so that he could take a few sips to calm down.

Then he continued, "At that time, we had already set up a cordon at the scene of the accident, and we were still searching and investigating in a carpet for several kilometers around to ensure that there were no other injured people" looked at Zhao Xiaotian's distorted expression, and then said, "You go back and continue to contact this friend and his family of yours, 48 hours later, if there is no other news, we will help you file a case for investigation, in case the search is fruitless, it will be entered into the national missing persons information system, if there is news, you will be notified in time, and you will go to publicize, Posting missing person notices or something, of course this is the worst possible outcome"

Zhao Xiaotian looked at the coffee and was stunned, no one could understand his mood at this time, a sense of guilt struck, and he hurt his good brother, he knew that he would resist this matter alone, but now he has caught up with an innocent friend.

He stood up, walked out of the door slowly, went down the stairs, turned left and right, and when he looked up, it was already the door of the police station, looking at the dim sky that had just dawned, and he was confused...... Immediately, as if he had strengthened his faith, he clenched his fists, no, no matter what, I will find you, even if it is the end of the world, even if the world is turned upside down.

...

"Team Peng, who is this kid, you are so polite to him, I have never seen you do this to anyone before, I don't know how to lift up. I don't know if I thought it was his house! And... Isn't it just a car accident case, and at that time a team of people was sent to search the three-kilometer area outside the cordon, and now the case is still being opened for investigation? Isn't it just that the person is gone? Not to mention that there is no trace of Ling Feng's appearance at the scene, and I now wonder if he is insane, or deliberately deceived the public security police; the state's limited police resources have been wasted by such a person, and how many big and important cases are waiting for us to deal with, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to breathe, so how can he still have the energy to take care of his business?" In the office of the police station, the angry Xiao Wu chattered at his captain.

Captain Peng, who originally wanted to be comforted, became more and more depressed the more he listened, and finally simply shouted in a low voice, "Shut up! Little brat, what nonsense are you! How old are you, what do you know, what is a waste of national police resources, and how big or small is it to do things for the people, we must seriously handle every case and treat every person involved in the case with caution, not to mention that he is only cooperating with our investigation, not a suspect."

"Moreover, this car accident was specially explained by Director Zhao, we must investigate carefully, we can't be sloppy, even if it is really the kid surnamed Zhao who is nervous, we can't drop the chain at this time, we have to give the bureau an exact and satisfactory reply" Seeing that the team members who were brought up by his own hand were aggrieved under his reprimand just now, Captain Peng realized that his words were a little heavy, and explained in a low voice.

"What Director Zhao? We only have Director Gao in the bureau, where did Director Zhao come from? Also, why did the director have to explain something about an ordinary car accident?" Xiao Wu raised his head when he heard this, his eyes were full of desire to learn, "uh... Director Zhao, that kid is also surnamed Zhao... No wonder that kid is so arrogant, he turned out to be a second-generation official, relying on his relationship to have a fearless blind command" Xiao Wu used his talent as a scout and speculated step by step.

"You kid, you don't have to be able to solve the case, you are just foolish, but your guess is not all wrong, this Director Zhao is the leader of the bureau above, and he has something to do with that kid, he is the uncle of his own family... As for whether it is taking advantage of the relationship or blind command, I can't see it, I still have a certain understanding of this leader, there should be other reasons, but I can't stand this kid's nonsense, so I brought it up through him by the way" Team Peng glanced at Xiao Wu, touched his beard and said meaningfully.
