The day before the date of the actual combat test, Mars was called to the office alone by Chen Shude.

"Mars, for your combat test tomorrow, I arranged an abandoned hotel."

"Actually, the test is just an excuse, the real purpose is to give an order from above, to carry out a secret mission in this abandoned hotel, I recommend you to go."

"But this mission is absolutely secret, and even the two Madam and Zhang sir can't know about it, understand?"

After listening to Chen Shude's words, Mars said solemnly: "Yes sir." ”

Chen Shude nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If you successfully complete this task, I guarantee that you can be promoted immediately." ”

"I heard that you have chased after Chief Mao, no matter how you say that you are also a man, and your position is under your girlfriend, some people will gossip."

"You have followed me for so many years, I will definitely support you."

Mars said gratefully: "Thank you sir, I will definitely complete the task." ”

Just last week's weekend, Mars finally made an appointment for dinner.

He courted Mao Wei in the restaurant, and his heart was already knotted, and there was no longer any obstacle to Mao Wei, and finally put the ring he gave on his middle finger.

So far, the two have finally come together, and Mars's years of waiting have not been in vain.

After a few days, this matter has spread, after all, Mao Wei has an extra ring on his hand, and the team members are not blind, how can they not see it?

"Listen, tomorrow there is a red cylinder in room 805 of that abandoned hotel, and your task is to take that cylinder out and hide it in the designated place."

"When you're done with this, you're going to go back to the hotel and take the quiz, remember, don't let anyone find out about your actions, understand?"

“yes sir。”

"Good, go ahead!"

After sending Mars away, Chen Shude picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Qingdao, what you want will arrive tomorrow, get ready to give me the money!"

……

To the east of the center of Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong, in the Kwok Tau section of Kam Tin Road, there is an abandoned hotel called the Viking Hotel.

The reason for its abandonment was that shortly after the hotel opened, all the employees and tenants, adding up to 100 people, mysteriously disappeared overnight.

Eleven p.m. the next day.

The special task force gathered here, looking at the dead and gloomy hotel in front of them, Octopus, Ma Xiaoling, and Mao Wei all frowned slightly.

Ma Xiaoling said solemnly: "My intuition tells me that this hotel is very problematic. ”

The octopus said in a deep voice: "My intuition is the same, but the Dharma Eye can't see anything, the concentration of Yin Qi is normal, and there is no resentment. ”

Mao Wei has been cultivating for a month now, and he also has a body of mana, so he can naturally feel Ma Xiaoling's feelings.

Her month is not just a month, a month of cultivating the Five Spirits Xuanyuan Jue, and it is not comparable to a month of cultivating the Maoshan Dao Method.

Let's put it this way! After a month of uncompromising cultivation, Mao Wei has already cultivated his spiritual sense and broken through the spiritual period.

Ma Xiaoling has been cultivating for 20 years, plus Mao Wei's mana infusion back then, and then transferring to the Five Spirits Xuanyuan Jue, the five spirit mana transformed is just a period of agility.

It can only be said that the innate Dao body is terrifying.

Mao Wei looked at Chen Shude and asked, "Sir, why did you choose this hotel?" ”

Chen Shude said with a smile: "When choosing an actual combat test venue, it is natural to choose a location with an atmosphere. ”

"This hotel has indeed been haunted before, so it will go out of business, but there are many mages who have come to do the rituals, and it should be fine."

After saying this, he walked in front of the team members and said solemnly: "The above attaches great importance to the results of this actual combat test, if you don't fail, the whole team is likely to face disbandment." ”

"What if there is an anomaly? Will you be unable to cope with emergencies? ”

Hearing this, Mars straightened his chest and said, "No sir, we won't let you down." ”

Chen Shude showed a satisfied look on his face, looked at the octopus and Ma Xiaoling and said, "Zhang sir, Chief Ma, let's start the test if there is no problem!" Over to you. ”

Seeing him say this, Octopus and Ma Xiaoling didn't think much about it anymore, anyway, with them here, even if there was any problem, they could solve it at any time.

Ma Xiaoling turned her hand and took out eleven lucky stars, and said to the team members: "This test is not only an assessment of the ability of your team, but also a test of the cooperation between you and Chief Mao. ”

"There are ten good ghosts here, a demon that specializes in human beings, and your mission this time is to find out the evil ghost and catch it within an hour."

"If you make a mistake or hurt a good ghost, you'll all fail as a team, understand?"

The team shouted, "yes Madam." ”

Ma Xiaoling threw the lucky star in her palm at the hotel, and the lucky star that she got rid of turned into ten green lights and one red light and flew into the hotel.

"Quiz begins."

With Ma Xiaoling's order, the team members quickly formed two assault squads, maintained a battle formation and rushed towards the hotel.

Mao Wei and the others returned to the command car behind them, and there was surveillance video on the car, which was connected to the cameras on the helmets of the team members.

The instant messaging system can also allow Mao Wei to deploy the entire team in real time at any time and provide information support.

"Group A, follow me, Group B, go to the stairs on the right."

“yes sir。”

In the command car, Mars's on-site command voice sounded in the power amplifier.

Mao Wei had already put on the communicator and began to arrange strategic goals: "The first thing is to find out which evil ghost is among the eleven ghosts, and then lock on the target and pursue it with all your might." ”

"Remember, no one is allowed to shoot without my approval, you only have one chance, and if you misjudge, the mission will be a complete failure."

"In addition, the results obtained from ambushing evil ghosts and killing evil ghosts are also different, and you must not shoot lightly unless you have to."

Ma Xiaoling sat leisurely and looked at the impurities, and Octopus and Chen Shude stood behind Mao Wei, paying attention to the situation of the players.

Suddenly, a snowflake turned into one of the screens, which was the lens belonging to Mars.

Chen Shude's expression moved, and Mao Wei said nervously: "Mars, is there a problem with your camera?" ”

Mars's voice came from the communicator: "What's wrong? ”

Mao worried: "Your surveillance screen has disappeared." ”

Mars said calmly: "It may be that there is a problem with the battery, it doesn't matter, the communicator is working normally, and I will report it at any time if there is a situation." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Big R's voice sounded in the communicator, "Captain, there is a discovery." ”

Mao Wei hurriedly looked at the surveillance screen of Big R, which was a ghost holding a book, pacing in the corridor, and exuding green positive energy on his body.

Then Sky's voice also came: "Team B found two ghosts on the third floor. ”

Mao worried: "The three ghosts all exude positive energy, they are good ghosts, and they make marks." ”

The test was carried out nervously, and Chen Shude suddenly said, "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." ”

"Oh!"

Several people didn't care, Ma Xiaoling was still reading the magazine by herself, and the octopus and Mao Wei focused on the surveillance video.

Time passed minute by minute, and when there were only ten minutes left before the end time, all eleven ghosts were found.

Mao looked at the screen suspiciously, and said, "Is there a mistake?" Why are all eleven ghosts positive? ”

She thought of something, turned her head to look at Ma Xiaoling and asked, "Ma Xiaoling, did you do it?" ”

Ma Xiaoling didn't look back, and said casually: "A little!" There are hypocrites in people, and there are fake and good ghosts, and there are only ten minutes left! ”

Mao Wei: "......"

Looking at Mao Wei's depressed expression, the octopus couldn't help but smile: "Wife, you are too bad, you still know how to play." ”

Ma Xiaoling smiled and said to him: "This is a test of their ability to adapt to changes, but I didn't mean to trick them." ”

Chen Shude, who had already returned to the command car, said dissatisfiedly: "But you didn't say in advance that it would temporarily change the energy of the evil ghost." ”

"What's the difference between this and a brain teaser when you're taking a math test?"

Ma Xiaoling said as a matter of course: "Of course there is a difference, mathematics is the most rigorous subject, and brainteasers are indeed fooling." ”

"But they're not doing math problems, they're catching ghosts, and in the process of catching ghosts, any unreasonable situation is reasonable, and this is the supernatural."

Chen Shude was speechless, but his dissatisfaction was just for show.

His purpose from the beginning was to get the red cylinder, which was the spirit weapon, Alice's music box.

As long as this goal can be achieved, he doesn't care whether those team members can pass or not, whether they will be disbanded or not.

When he applied for the event fund before, he had already made a lot of money, as long as he got the music box and the buyer's honorarium, he could live the life of a rich man even if he retired immediately.

Over there, Mao Wei ignored Chen Shude's argument with Ma Xiaoling, because it was meaningless, she took care of her own intensive arrangement tactics.

"Listen, everyone, Ma Xiaoling has changed the energy of the evil ghosts, and the evil ghosts are now disguised as good ghosts, and you have driven all the ghosts to the hall."

There were still three minutes left before the end time, and the eleven ghosts had already been driven to the hall, but neither Mao Wei nor the team members on the scene could distinguish the identity of the evil ghosts.

Mao Wei also began to get anxious, and stroked his hair back again and again.

In the original plot, it was the arrow who found the key to breaking the game, and there was no arrow at this time, if no one had a flash of inspiration, then they were doomed to fail this test.

At this moment, the voice of the octopus suddenly sounded in Mao Wei's mind: "Actually, Xiao Ling has already said the answer at the beginning, think carefully about what she said before the test starts." ”

Mao Wei was stunned for a moment, and what Ma Xiaoling said before the test immediately appeared in his mind.

"There are ten good ghosts here, a demon that specializes in human beings, and your mission this time is to find out the evil ghost and catch it within an hour......

A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, Mao Wei's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Si Kai, you immediately take off the equipment on your body, and the others, prepare for the demon suppression flashlight." ”

Hearing Mao Wei's words, all the team members finally reacted, that evil ghost was exclusively possessed by people, but they were wearing demon-destroying equipment, and the evil ghost did not dare to approach them at all.

Only by taking off the equipment can it be possible to lure out that evil spirit.

Ma Xiaoling showed a relieved smile on her face, she didn't know that Mao Wei had received the hint of the octopus, and thought that she had thought of it herself.

After Sikai took off his equipment, the evil ghost was indeed revealed and rushed towards him, but it was fixed and put away by the other team members who had prepared for a long time.

At this point, it was less than a minute before the test ended.

Mao Wei let out a long sigh of relief, looked back at the octopus, and smiled at him, a flash of gratitude in his eyes.

The octopus's prompt is suspected of cheating, but speaking of which, it was Ma Xiaoling who played tricks first.

Besides, the octopus didn't say the answer directly, but just hinted at the solution idea, and it was this little cheating, Mao Wei didn't care too much.

After experiencing this time, both she and the team members have learned this kind of problem-solving idea, and with real gains, there are some small flaws, so you don't have to worry about it.

At the end of the test, the team members reassembled outside the hotel.

Chen Shude smiled at Ma Xiaoling and said, "Chief Ma, you can score it!" Fifty points to pass, 100 points out of 100, how many points do you give? ”

Ma Xiaoling thought for a while and said, "Eighty points!" ”

"Huh? Only eighty points? No way! ”

"Even if it takes us a little longer, we still complete the task, so we can get 90 points!"

A bunch of guys seem to be complaining about the low allocation, but in fact, all of them are already happy on their faces.

They are already very happy to be able to pass the test smoothly, and eighty points belong to the good category.

Ma Xiaoling glared at them and said, "If I can give you eighty points, I'll steal the fun!" Your performance has just passed, and the thirty points are earned back by your Chief Mao. ”

Big R smiled: "Fortunately, Chief Mao is smart, otherwise we would definitely not be able to pass the test." ”

"Thank you, Chief Mao."

Mao worriedly said: "You don't have to thank me, in fact, Chief Mao has already said the answer from the beginning, but we didn't grasp the point at the beginning." ”

"So everyone must remember that when dealing with supernatural events, you must know how to improvise, that is, you must use your brain, not brute."

The team members nodded convincingly.

The octopus smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, everyone did a good job today, let's close the team!" I'll go for a late-night snack in a while, and I'll treat you. ”

“yes sir，Thank you sir。”

……

Although the test was successful, Mars's mission failed.

He retrieves only an empty cylinder, and the music box inside is left behind by him, causing the evil spirit Alice to be released.

Evil spirits are evil spirits that are one level higher than evil spirits, and they are much more terrifying than evil spirits.

They like to torture the living to death in their own unique way, often in a way that is related to the root of their resentment, and the living are essentially dead when encountered.

The appearance of one is enough to cause a disaster, and the harm is innumerable, and those with advanced illegal power cannot solve it.

However, although the evil spirit is terrifying, it is still in the category of "ninety percent" in the mouth of the octopus, and it is not qualified to enter the "one percent".

With the Einsatzgruppen body, the equipment is several grades stronger than the original play, even if it can't subdue Alice, it is still more than enough for self-protection.

Unable to get what he wanted, Chen Shude was furious and ordered Mars to return to the hotel as soon as possible to retrieve Alice's music box.

However, a group of TV crew members who entered the Viking Hotel to shoot in order to make big news disrupted Mars's plan.

At the same time, this group of dead people also inadvertently prevented the disaster for Mars.

If it weren't for the scruples of this group of people, Mars would have entered the hotel without equipment, and the only result would have been to become a shadow on the hotel wall.

Mars had planned to wait outside the hotel until it got dark, and then go in to get the music box after the TV station people left.

As a result, before it was dark, he received a call from Chen Shude, asking him to return to the headquarters.

……

Einsatzgruppen conference room.

All the team members, Mao Wei, Octopus, and Ma Xiaoling were all present, and a tape recorder was placed on the table, which played a call recording recorded by the report center.

The recording shows a man's screams, mixed with a little girl's laughter.

After playing the recording, Chen Shude said solemnly: "After the reporting center received this call, there was no news from the filming team. ”

"I don't know where they went, and I'm not sure if they left the hotel."

"So we suspect that there may have been a paranormal crime at the Viking Hotel."

Mao Wei looked at the octopus and Ma Xiaoling and said, "Actually, when we took the test, we already felt that there was a problem. ”

"But if there is really something dirty, Sir Zhang and Chief Ma should know."

The octopus said, "But the truth is, we didn't find anything abnormal. ”

Ma Xiaoling groaned for a moment and said, "It's also possible that there are some evil spirits in that hotel that we haven't even seen." ”

The octopus said thoughtfully: "There is also a possibility that there was some kind of existence that was originally sealed in the hotel, and we didn't touch the seal when we tested it, so no abnormality occurred." ”

"The dead TV crew broke into the hotel without permission, inadvertently touched the seal, and released the unknown evil spirit."

When the octopus said this, Mars frowned subconsciously, turned his head to look at Chen Shude, but saw that he lowered his head slightly, and his expression was a little unnatural.

He had some doubts in his heart, was this really a secret mission sent down "from above"?

If that so-called spirit weapon is what the octopus said, sealing an unknown evil spirit, then shouldn't this kind of task be done by a professional exorcist?

And why keep it a secret? It is reasonable to keep it secret from the public, but in order to avoid causing panic in society, some things are naturally not suitable for the public to know.

But why should I keep it a secret from the insiders and the exorcist Zhang Sir and Chief Ma? What's the point?

The more he pondered, the more Mars felt that something was wrong, and he became suspicious of Chen Shude in his heart.

"In any case, this incident involves the media, and the above attaches great importance to this case, you should rush to the hotel as soon as possible to find out and rescue the people from the TV station."

Octopus and Ma Xiaoling glanced at each other, and then said to Chen Shude: "In view of the special situation this time, I and the two Madam will personally lead the team!" ”

Chen Shude secretly shouted in his heart, if they interfered, would the music box still fall into his hands?

But he didn't have any reason to refuse the offer at all, so he had to pretend to be gratified and said, "It's best if you are willing to help, and I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Octopus nodded and said to the team members, "Remember, your main task is to save the TV crew, and retreat as soon as you rescue people." ”

"If you encounter an accident, you will focus on protecting yourself, and leave the rest to me and Chief Ma, do you understand?"

“yes，sir。”

……

After putting on the equipment, all the team members rushed out, but Mars stopped the octopus.

He didn't hide it anymore, and told Chen Shude's so-called secret mission to the three of them.

After listening to his words, Ma Xiaoling's face showed anger, "Spirit weapons? Anyone would dare to make such a thing. ”

Mao Wei's face was also very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The biggest problem is not this. ”

Octopus Zhengse said: "Mao Wei, can you talk at the top level?" ”

Mao Wei nodded and said, "I know Superintendent Liu, the deputy commissioner of police in charge of the Operations Department, and I will immediately call him to confirm whether there is such a secret mission." ”

The Operations Wing is a large department under the jurisdiction of the Force, comprising four departments: the Operations Division, the Police Tactical Unit, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau and the Major Incidents Section.

The Police Tactical Unit (PTU) comprises the Training Section, the Support Section, the Research and Development Section and the Flying Tigers.

In other words, Superintendent Liu, whom Mao Wei knew, was several levels higher than Chen Shude.

After Mao Wei called, it was quickly confirmed that the Operations Department did not have any secret mission about the Viking Hotel.

Superintendent Lau also asked the commander in charge of the Police Tactical Unit that he had not assigned any secret missions.

In this way, it can be completely confirmed that this secret mission is Chen Shude's private act.

Octopus called Li Fei and informed him of the incident, asking him to help investigate Chen Shude.

Li Fei naturally knew what was going on, it was just a trivial matter, and a document would soon appear on the desk of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

After the octopus hung up the phone, he said to a few people: "Don't worry about it so much now, take care of the business first." ”

"Hmm."
