Chapter 268: The Beginning of Strange Appearance (1)
However, there are exceptions to everything, and there is still one thing in this world that can exist contrary to common sense.
That's it, ghost! As long as it involves the existence of powerful ghosts and supernatural events, all physical knowledge and all cognition can be subverted at any time.
"Captain Mu, Xu Mingfeng's mobile phone signal has disappeared." After the old woman, who was suspected of being a ghost, completely turned into the corner of the alley, Zhong Minghao, who had been watching the mobile phone interface, suddenly found that the mobile phone interface had changed again, and the small green dot representing Xu Mingfeng disappeared directly.
"What?" Qin Mufeng exclaimed in a low voice. And Mu Yijian flashed a red light on his body after hearing Zhong Minghao's words, and the next second he appeared on the corner of the alley where the old woman with a cane had just walked, and then stood there without moving, with a somewhat indifferent expression on his face.
"So fast!" Zhong Minghao and Qin Mufeng just felt that a burst of red light flashed in front of them, and before they could react, they had already seen Mu Yijian appear in front, and at the same time, they were shocked and hurriedly followed him to the corner of the alley.
"Gone! So fast! The two of them were stunned when they saw the situation in the alley. In the alley at this time, there is still a trace of the old woman who just walked in with a cane, and some of them are just tenacious weeds growing silently on the edge of the wall.
An old woman on crutches disappeared in front of their eyes in such a short period of time without any warning, not to mention an old woman on crutches, even if he was a 100-meter flyer, he couldn't do this here, not to mention that Mu Yijian still directly used the domain just now.
"Captain Mu, didn't your realm catch up either?" Zhong Minghao, who came back to his senses, asked Mu Yijian.
Mu Yijian shook his head silently. This is basically a real hammer, this old woman must be related to the supernatural incident, and Xu Mingfeng is not unable to contact the General Bureau of the Strange Bureau because of the problem of mobile phone signal, it must be because he was caught in a supernatural incident and could not get out of it so he did not report to the General Administration in time.
"Can Xu Mingfeng's mobile phone signal still be searched?" Zhong Minghao looked at his phone when he heard this, and at this time, there were still only small green dots representing himself on the interface that were constantly flashing, and after shaking his head, Zhong Minghao took the phone back into his pocket.
Qin Mufeng walked into the alley, his sharp eyes were constantly scanning the corners of the alley, but until he reached the end of the alley, Qin Mufeng couldn't find anything else, as if the old woman they saw just now turned into the alley was just an illusion.
"Nothing was found, everything seemed normal." Walking back to Mu Yijian, Qin Mufeng shook his head and said.
The old woman mysteriously disappeared under the noses of the three of them, which immediately raised the vigilance of the three of them to the greatest extent.
You must know that the three of them are all strangers, and there is also a stranger like Mu Yijian, the captain of the General Bureau, who personally leads the team, but even under such circumstances, no one can find out how this mysterious old woman disappeared.
Hearing Qin Mufeng say this, Mu Yijian lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said to the two of them: "Let's go, go back to the area where Xu Mingfeng's mobile phone signal appeared at the beginning, and see if you can find any clues." When he turned back to the earthen house that the mysterious old woman pushed the door out, Mu Yijian paused slightly, then cut out a decorative steel nail from his black jacket, and then embedded it in the gap between the green bricks of the earthen house.
Zhong Minghao and Qin Mufeng glanced at each other, and instantly understood the meaning of Mu Yijian's actions.
"It's marking!" The two of them immediately came to the idea of this. After testing with his hand that the steel nails embedded in the gap were stable, Mu Yi Kancai continued to walk forward.
The three of them were still moving forward unhurriedly according to the triangular formation when they entered the village, with Mu Yi in front, Zhong Minghao on the right, and Qin Mufeng on the left.
Zhong Minghao roughly estimated in his heart that when he walked a distance of about ten meters, he stopped, and said lightly: "The location where Xu Mingfeng's mobile phone signal first appeared was probably around here." "On both sides of this location are also rows of mud houses made of blue and red stone bricks, which look no different from the mud houses you see all the way through.
Nothing unusual was found from the outside, which meant that the three of them had to go inside the cabin to investigate.
"The situation here is weird, let's not separate for the time being, there are not many wooden houses here, it won't take long, Qin Mufeng, you are guarding outside the house, and Zhong Minghao and I will go in." Among the three-person weirder team, Mu Yijian is the leader, not only because of his identity as the captain of the General Bureau, but also because of the strength of the weirder, so at this moment, it is naturally Mu Yijian who arranges the details of the operation.
Zhong Minghao and Qin Mufeng naturally don't have any opinions. Mu Yijian stepped forward, but before he could exert his strength, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and there was no lock in the earthen house.
The two of them glanced at each other and walked in together, there were already a lot of cobwebs on the roof, the windows inside had fallen off, and many of the furniture inside had been covered with ash, obviously this earthen house had not been inhabited in it for a long time, and it was no wonder why Mu Yijian didn't need to use force on the wooden door just now.
Sunlight was shining through the windows that had fallen off, and dust was constantly flying in the air.
It's obviously well-lit, but for some reason, this earthen house feels a little gloomy.
But it's not surprising, as the thought of the whole village being enveloped in paranormal events doesn't make it feel abrupt.
The earth house was not very large, and the two of them looked at each other separately, one left and one right, and they ran into each other again after only a few moments.
Zhong Minghao shook his head at Mu Yijian, saying that he didn't find any obvious problems on the side he checked, Mu Yijian understood, and then the two walked out together.
Qin Mufeng, who was outside the house, knew that he had returned in vain when he saw the two of them like this, but this was just the beginning, although the start was a little unfavorable and a little disappointed, but the three of them were not anxious, after all, they didn't think that they would be able to find out the weirdness of this village so easily.
The first earthen house was fruitless, and the three of them came to the opposite side, and this earthen house here looked much more dilapidated than the one just now.
Although the earthen house just now looks very dilapidated, it is basically a complete house from the outside, just because it has not been inhabited for a long time.
And this earthen house, more as if it has been abandoned, the roof tiles are a little collapsed, and the outside of the wooden door has disappeared a small half, the wooden door is not closed, through the gap can be seen inside is a little dim and damp, exuding a musty smell, such a earthen house is not to mention people, it is estimated that even wild dogs are not necessarily willing to hide in.
Mu Yijian and Zhong Minghao are both people who have been dealing with supernatural events for a long time, and they don't know how many times they have smelled the smell of corpses, and the musty smell emitted by this dampness naturally will not affect them.
Qin Mufeng was still guarding the door outside as he did just now, and the two of them pushed open the dilapidated wooden door.
"Bang~!" But I didn't think that the wooden door here was even more weak, Mu Yijian just pushed it gently, and the wooden door fell directly to the ground because of the dampness and aging, and everything inside was presented in front of him.
With his feet on the wooden door, Zhong Minghao quickly glanced at the environment inside the house.
"Looks like there's not going to be anything to be found here!"
"No," unexpectedly, Mu Yijian denied Zhong Minghao's statement,
"There's something different about this house." With that, Mu Yijian pointed to his feet.
"What?" Zhong Minghao looked in the direction of Mu Yijian's finger, and saw a few footprints on the ground, but this was not something before, but it was left by Mu Yijian when he stepped on the wooden door just now.
Wait a minute. Zhong Minghao immediately realized that something was wrong.
"How can such obvious footprints be left here?" Zhong Minghao immediately squatted down, and wiped his fingers heavily on the ground, which suddenly hooked up a thick layer of soil.
"This is, the mud under the water!" Zhong Minghao's eyes narrowed slightly, and if he looked closely, he seemed to be able to see some green aquatic plants mixed in from the dirt on his fingers.
"Did you find out?"
"There's nothing like that in the mud house we just entered." Mu Yi lifted his feet, and the area around his shoes was also covered with a thick layer of mud.
"You mean, this mud house is covered?" Zhong Minghao asked. It was a little strange, the ground outside was dry when they walked in, and even the inside of the mud house they had just entered.
"It's hard to say for the time being, and it may be because of the accumulation of rain on rainy days." Mu Yi also pointed to the tiles above his head that had collapsed a little and said.
"It's easy to say, just look at a few more houses." Qin Mufeng, who was standing outside the door, naturally heard the conversation between the two people in the room clearly, and was slightly shocked in his heart.
Although he was arranged to watch the wind at the door, he also took the time to take a look at the environment in the house, but in his understanding, this earthen house was the same as what Zhong Minghao said just now, and he didn't find anything.
But he didn't want Mu Yijian to discover the hidden problem all of a sudden, although there was a reason why he didn't go in to check it carefully, but it also showed that he still had some deficiencies in the face of supernatural events.
"Looks like there's still a lot to learn." Qin Mufeng said secretly, although this mission is an assessment, it is not an opportunity to learn, after all, there are not many opportunities to form a team of weirdos to solve supernatural events together.
"In the end, it is the captain-level weird person of the General Bureau, and this keen observation is something I don't have at the moment." However, Qin Mufeng did not despise himself, after all, he had not been a stranger for a long time, although he had also participated in other supernatural events, but the number of times was not much, he believed that as long as he had enough time, he would definitely be able to become a stranger in his own right.
Qin Mufeng looked up at the sky, and found that the sunlight seemed to have dimmed a little, obviously the sunlight was quite fierce when he entered the village just now.
"Delusion?" Qin Mufeng muttered in his heart. However, when he saw Mu Yijian and Zhong Minghao walking out of the wooden house one after another and continuing to the next earthen house, he put this question aside for the time being and followed closely behind the two of them.
However, what the three of them didn't notice was that after the three of them left, the footprints on the ground of this earthen house that had just been stepped on were slowly disappearing, as if they had been artificially smoothed, even where Zhong Minghao's fingers brushed.
Everything seemed to be back to the way it was before, except for the old wooden door that had collapsed.
From this moment on, the strangeness of Xitou Village has been revealed, and this is just the beginning!
