Monday, August 19th.

After a short weekend, office workers are busy again.

On an autumn morning, facing the morning sun.

A man walked up to the corner corner, greeted the newsstand owner with a smile, and handed over two coins.

He lowered his head to pick up the "Serving God Daily", which was already left, but his hand stopped in the air, and his eyes were attracted by the "Jinluo Daily" next to him.

Several huge headlines on the front page:

The city's seventh hospital was dug into the ground by the underworld! The temple suspects that the other party is the Micro Picture Group!

Migrant workers fell from the building and "flew" ten kilometers!

Although Jinluo Daily has the same name as Jinluo City, it is a local private newspaper with a small circulation, and its headlines are often exaggerated and mostly gimmicks, which cannot be compared with the official authoritative newspaper "Shishen Daily".

However, he still picked up the "Jinluo Daily" and read it.

"On the night of August 16, unknown people raided the city's No. 7 Hospital, killing 18 police officers and killing 9 other ordinary people and injuring 26 others. The incident may be related to the incident in which the injured policeman was hospitalized in the city's No. 7 hospital the night before. ”

"On August 17, a worker fell from the construction site of the development zone, but only the shouting was heard but the body was not found. Three hours later, I returned to the construction site by myself, claiming that I woke up and took the tram back to the construction site 10 kilometers away from the construction site. ”

The man frowned and pulled the newspaper up and tucked it under his armpit.

There was a "bang" next to him, which caught his attention, and he turned his head to see that it was a car rear-end collision.

During rush hour, friction inevitably occurs, and everyone is irritable.

The two drivers didn't let anyone, and when they got out of the car, they quarreled.

The man frowned harder, but he looked at his watch and found that there was still time to stop.

The driver who hit the person hesitated for a moment, ready to give up the quarrel and began to apologize, but the person who was hit was unforgiving and still kept counting the other party.

From simply counting down the other party's driving without paying attention, to personal attacks, and finally to verbal abuse.

The driver of the car after the collision looked helpless, kept apologizing, and then looked at the people around him for help.

Gradually, some onlookers began to denounce the driver of the car in front.

The driver of the rear car continued to apologize, but his eyes revealed smugness, as if relying on the other party to cover up his mistakes without ideals.

In the accusations, the driver of the front car became more and more angry, and finally slapped the driver of the back car.

The driver of the rear car fell to the ground, a triumphant smile flashed across his face, and then immediately changed to a dazed one.

The onlookers blamed the driver of the car in front of him more and more, and countless noises drowned him like sea water, tearing at his reason and shattering his humanity.

Finally, in the midst of the duties of the many onlookers, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the driver of the rear car.

The driver of the rear car was still standing in the crowd, covering his red and swollen face with one hand, and there was smugness in his eyes.

Then he suddenly opened his mouth wide, his eyes bulging out, and he made a "gurgling" sound, while his hands frantically pulled his throat, as if something was blocking there.

Before the onlookers could react, they saw a green branch sticking out of his throat, and it grew longer and thicker, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a small tree, lush and green.

And the driver was still strung at the root of the tree, miserable.

Blood flowed in all directions, and onlookers let out various screams and fled in all directions.

……

Nanchao Psychiatric Hospital, located in the southeastern part of the first group of jurisdictions.

It is a place where it is easier to obtain search qualifications than the headquarters of the Imperial Palace and Weizhao Group.

Xiao Mu, the only female leader of the seven groups, came here with the team members, and her task was very simple, to search the entire Nanchao Mental Hospital inch by inch.

The first group includes the group leader, and there are 10 people in total.

Consists of a Physician, three Hunters, two Prison Masters, a Prophet, and three Miscellaneous Families, all but three of whom are women.

Among them, Xiao Mu is a spiritual transcendent and a miscellaneous family.

Ten people conducted a carpet search of the entire Nanchao Mental Hospital, not a single room was spared, and Xiaomu also questioned the main staff, including the dean, but no useful clues were obtained.

This means that either everything is normal here, or they themselves don't know what is hidden here.

In the afternoon, the last building was found, which was the most remote and gloomy building.

It houses the most serious patients, most of whom have been exposed to psychiatric illness caused by transcendent events, and many of whom have been transcendental themselves.

That's why it's impossible for the sick in this building to be cured.

With trepidation and occasional screams, all the rooms were finally checked from top to bottom before sunset, and finally everyone stopped at the staircase on the first floor.

Looking down the stairs, everyone was dejected, how could there be underground.

Xiao Mu cheered everyone up, this is the last place, let everyone get motivated.

Ten people walked down the stairs with their feet raised.

The lights turned on, illuminating the entire basement, and everyone found it empty.

Because the dean said that this place had been abandoned for a long time, he had already prepared for a mess, dust and mold everywhere, but he didn't expect it to be so "clean".

Xiao Mu clasped his hands on his chest and walked slowly against the basement wall, his eyes constantly looking around.

The women behind him were chattering and discussing, all lamenting that this place was so empty, not like an abandoned basement, and there were no miscellaneous items.

"There is no clutter, which means that it has been cleaned up." Xiao Mu said.

"Why clean it up?"

Why?

The dean is an ordinary person, and it is impossible to escape his mind control, so he is telling the truth, and this place is indeed abandoned.

Since it can't be the dean's request, it can only be someone else, maybe not even someone from the hospital.

If it's just clutter that was piled up before, then there is no need to clean it up, it can only be to hide something.

"Search!"

Xiao Mu ordered.

"Huh? How to search for this, I've seen it all at a glance. ”

Everyone spoke.

Xiao Mu's face was serious: "Then you have to search, inch by inch, don't let go of any position, don't let go of every floor tile." ”

The crowd said yes, scattered and began to search.

The three hunters tapped their weapons against the wall, literally inch by inch.

The physician turned on his abilities, looked around, and shook his head at Xiao Mu.

The divine shield is so unreasonable, as long as there is a shielding effect in a place, all the objects inside it become undetectable.

In other words, the physician is unable to see divinity, the ability to "see" disappears, and seeing all objects becomes an ordinary person looking at a wall.

This effect is not artificially limited in range, but automatically adapts to the objects inside.

For example, now, when the physician looks at his colleagues in the group, they are all in a physical state, and they can't see the white divinity.

This is not the same as the "Divine Prohibition Cane" of the Prison, the cane is artificially limited in scope, forming an enchantment, and everyone inside can use the supernatural ability normally, but as long as it contains divinity, it cannot leave the edge.

And the divine shield here comes from the temple, from the transcendent items that belong to His Excellency, and the shield of the inspection team is of the same type.

The internal supernatural abilities can be used normally, and the naked eye can observe them normally, but all convenient probes of divinity are completely ineffective.

Compared to the inspection team, the shielding here is actually stronger.

Because there are many former transcendents here, but there is a mental problem and there is no sanity, which leads to the loss of ability, which can prevent accidents and prevent someone from suddenly using supernatural abilities.

As for the reason for the spiritual problems of these transcendental beings, it is difficult to say, it may be their own problem, it may be caused by the experimental research of the temple, it may be other reasons.

Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk......

The sound of percussion in the basement was constant and monotonous, but in this particular building, there was a sound more reassuring than silence.

Half an hour later, the entire basement wall was knocked out, and the floor was not spared, but nothing was found.

Xiao Mu looked at this place and left unwillingly.

"No, why the hell is the other party cleaning up here?"

"Team leader, something that might be problematic has been taken, and this is just a place."

"That's right, team leader, let's report this suspicion quickly."

The prophet frowned and gestured the thickness of the wall with his hand, and said, "Team leader, the wall is so thick, can we really find out anything if we knock like this?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know if I'm feeling right, I always feel like we're missing something."

"The whole psychiatric hospital, or this basement?"

"Basement."

The Prophet replied in the affirmative.

Xiao Mu didn't say a word, and waved his arm: "Smash the wall!" ”

A hunter's weapon was a stick, and at this moment, after listening to the order of the team leader, without saying a word, a stick smashed against the wall, making a loud muffled sound.

"Yes, with this strength, I don't believe I can't find it."

The other two used broadswords, and smashed them directly against the wall with their scabbards, and for a while the sound of "dong dong" spread all around, echoing in the basement, making everyone's ears buzz.

Boom –

A distinctly distinct voice came.

Everyone's faces changed, and they immediately surrounded them.

The hunter who found the anomaly did not hesitate, and looked at the position just now.

Boom!

It's empty inside!

Xiao Mu gestured.

The two hunters unsheathed their knives and slashed at the wall, scraping off a layer of the surface to reveal the brand-new bricks inside.

The bricks are grayish-white, and not cement.

A hunter stepped forward and pinched it with his hand, and then scratched it with his knife a few times to confirm that it was glue.

It means that this wall has only been built for a short time, and I am afraid that the cement will dry too slowly, so it is not used. Smash it open! ”

The hunter with the stick takes two steps back, half-crouches, holds one end of the stick with both hands and takes a stance, and all the others around him step back to give up enough range.

I saw that the surface of the stick in his hand began to turn into a metallic silver-white, and it trembled incessantly, like a living creature that could not be suppressed.

Hands are slightly loose.

With a hula, the stick flew out with a piece of wind out of his hand, like a silver-white siege wood crashing into the wall.

Rumble!

The wall was dented inward, and the stick smashed directly into a brick and stuck it in the wall.

The hunter stepped forward and grabbed the exposed end and tilted it with force in all directions, which made the wall deformed even more.

The other two hunters looked at each other and kicked at the same time.

A hole broke through the wall, and it was vaguely seen that there was a black hole behind it.

The trio worked together to clean up the surroundings.

It can be seen that only the wall of this Yongdao crossing is new brick, and the outside is old.

"Light." Xiao Mu said.

A miscellaneous woman stepped forward, clasped her hands together, and a bright but heatless ball of light appeared, and then threw it into the inside of the corridor.

As the ball of light rolled inward, the entire corridor emerged little by little.

Suddenly, a figure appeared and stomped on the ball of light.

Yongdao fell into darkness.
