Chapter V, Section 6

Then came a group of heavily armed soldiers, led by a high-ranking official. The group of soldiers marched all the way to the deepest depths, telling those who were working to evacuate immediately along the way. The people who are working here are all soldiers, so as soon as they receive the order, they throw down their things and evacuate. But they all said they heard a dense burst of gunfire deep in the tunnel before leaving.

The project has been halted since then, and it is not known what happened there, but it is certain that the inspectors and the officers who accompanied them were dead.

Later, some different versions of the message came out, some said that those generals were spies, some said that those people were plotting rebellion, all sorts of things, but there is one statement that is more in line with the status quo.

It is said that the mastermind of all this is actually the Taoist priest, and those officers were just deceived and used by him. This Taoist priest lied that the stone slab was the gate of the divine realm, and anyone who passed through the gate could go to the divine realm to live a life of food and clothing. He promised the officers that he would take them with him to the Divine Realm as long as they helped build an underground base. These officers were so confused that they lied about the construction plan to the high-level and drove the experimental base out of the mountains behind the backs of the high-level officials.

Then the incident was revealed, and the inspection team came down to investigate, and the Taoist priest must have used the same method to deceive the inspector, but it was estimated that it was unsuccessful, so he became murderous. When those officers saw the Taoist priest start killing, they also came to their senses and drew their guns to resist, and in the end these people were brutally killed. In the chaos, an inspector escaped without dying, and when he came out, he locked the blast-proof door and locked the Taoist priest in the central area. The soldiers who went in later probably shot him to death there.

Although the story is more reasonable, Xia Liming still heard doubts from it. First of all, who financed such a huge project? It is impossible to rely on those few officers. At that time, the entire army did not have so much money on its books, and it was impossible to squeeze out such a large amount of money. So it can be speculated that this money was either paid by the Taoist priest himself or by the person behind the Taoist priest.

But it doesn't make sense to say this, if this Taoist priest is so rich, then what else does he want to cheat?

In addition, multiple witnesses said that the patrol officer who escaped kept shouting that there were ghosts and monsters. Through this, we can deduce the scene at that time, there were four officers, four inspectors and one Taoist priest who went in together, but only one inspector ran out. If those officers were on the side of the Taoist priests, then these inspectors would not have a chance to run out at all. Therefore, those officers must have also been killed by Taoist priests.

If a man were to kill seven people in a very short period of time, four of whom had been trained in the military and carried a gun with him, he must have a special means of transcending common sense. Combined with the inspector's fearful shouts, it can also be confirmed that this Taoist priest's methods should be super common sense and very terrifying. Otherwise, killing people alone will not make people frighteningly shout adjectives such as ghosts and monsters.

Therefore, Xia Liming finally deduced that the true identity of the Taoist priest should be a messenger, and that stone slab really contained some important secrets.

I really admire his reasoning. With him filling in, my doubts about that base were finally solved.

The Taoist priest listened to the description and really matched the characteristics of a messenger, but judging by what he did, this should be a secret messenger.

As long as there is a community of men, there are good and bad, and the same is true of the Messenger's team. Because Heaven has a strict screening mechanism when recruiting messengers, most messengers are decent and bright-minded, but people are very fickle creatures, and their mood will change with time and experience, and messengers are no exception.

The Messengers who eventually become evil are collectively known as the Dark Messengers. These secret messengers often do much more damage to the mortal world than demons and monsters, because these people know the inside story, know the rules, and know better where there are loopholes to exploit.

Speaking of which, I'm an outlier among the Couriers. My state of mind is not pure compared to other messengers, and I chose this profession in the first place to make money and profit. I also like to be lazy and slippery at work, and I have never given up even the evil behavior of jerking off. But I'm not bad compared to the Secret Courier, and I've never thought of planning any grand evil plans, and it's purely a matter of eating and waiting for death.

You see this Taoist senior, deceived several officers to build such a large base, and he also planned to open Pandora's box, this move is a big move to destroy the world. It's a lot higher than me.

In order to fulfill the previous agreement, I also told Xia Liming some things I knew, I didn't hide the true use of the slate, but used the original story to play a side ball, saying that the slate is not the gate of the god realm, but the gate of hell, once it is opened, all kinds of demons and monsters in hell will run out, and then the world will be ruined.

I also told him that the last time I went to Panlong Mountain, I was looking for this stone slab, and the reason why I wanted to blow up the mountain in the end was because someone wanted to rob this thing, and in order to prevent the bad guys from getting this dangerous item, I had to make this decision. As for the person who grabbed this thing, it was the mysterious Master Wei.

It's a great opportunity to get down to the ground. If I miss such an opportunity to point the finger at Master Wei, I will really be brainless.

As soon as I mentioned Master Wei, Xia Liming's emotions were immediately lifted, and he told me about their investigation process with high spirits. But this simple positioning and tracking task, as he said, was ups and downs, hundreds of turns.

In the end, he sighed regretfully: "When we got closest, Master Li Wei was only a few meters. If it weren't for the stalker being entangled in the strong shoe polish, he would have been caught long ago. ”

But I listened to the whole story and was very unimpressed, although what he said was extremely complicated, but in summary, it was nothing more than finding clues, tracking, and the other party disappeared. Find clues again, track them down again, and disappear again. Just like that, he was stunned and nagged and blew it to me for a long time.

However, they were not without gains, and after a long period of investigation, they still got a little clue. One of the clues confirmed that Master Wei had been in contact with a high-ranking member of the army, and although the identity of the officer was uncertain, it was likely that this person was from the three units stationed in the local area. They are also pursuing this, but there is a lot of resistance when it comes to inquiries from the army, so the progress is not too obvious.

This is consistent with Officer Zhang's inference, it seems that Master Wei did have help from the military, but it is unclear whether this officer was the only one involved.

In exchange, I informed Xia Liming of the weapons and ammunition found in the cave and the conclusions that Officer Zhang had deduced based on these weapons, including the fact that we had brought out some bullet samples and gun numbers. (To be continued.) )
