Chapter 18: Marriage Robbery
Although Ye Zhiqiang didn't know why, he had already realized that something was obviously not quite right, so he quickly whispered Zhao Qi's words to every member through a headset.
At the moment when he got a response from all the members, Ye Zhiqiang suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, he turned his head to see that it was Zhao Qiyi, so he followed the direction of the signal.
I saw that in this vast white mist, there were many people in the forest in the distance.
I can vaguely see that these people are still stepping on very strange steps and dancing a strange dance.
At the forefront are musicians with various instruments in their hands, each with their limbs twisted to a very strange degree, and dancing to the rhythm.
Listening to the music alone has a sense of festivities, but looking at the writhing steps of this team, it is not festive, but rather weird.
Zhao Qi waved his hand at Ye Zhiqiang, then lowered his body, and kept approaching forward under the cover of the trees.
This is not a difficult task for the agents who are good at concealment, but these agents are also surprised at this time.
What the hell are these people doing in the woods?
Why are they here?
Isn't the mountain already blocked?
Zhao Qi and Ye Zhiqiang took the lead in hiding behind a tree a meter away from the team.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiang was able to clearly see that everyone in this team was wearing ancient clothes.
All the musicians wore red festive costumes, followed by people who were constantly writhing and dancing, and they were dressed in white with wide robes and large sleeves.
There were some flowers dotted with white clothes, but it was impossible to tell what kind of category it was.
There were also two leading men in front of the musicians, and these two people were carrying white lanterns, and the white light was very dazzling.
It wasn't until I saw the two people walking in the middle of the line that I was basically sure that this should be a team of marrying relatives.
Because, these two people are wearing old-fashioned wedding dresses!
At first glance, their height and walking posture are no different from normal people, but as they gaze, they suddenly see that their faces are actually fluffy fox faces with pointed beaks!
"This ......"
Ye Zhiqiang subconsciously covered his mouth, for fear that he would make a sound if he lost his mind for a while.
All the agents were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning, and they had never seen such a strange scene.
This marrying team jumped and jumped, stopping at three steps, taking five steps, and turning back after seven steps.
sometimes turn your head to look sideways; Sometimes hiding his face and squatting, the whole atmosphere is extremely weird, as if he is holding some kind of unique ritual at the same time, he is also vigilant about something.
In the white mist, this team loomed.
With the exception of the newlyweds in the middle, everyone on the outside seemed to be very stiff, like marionettes.
It's hard to imagine how a person's limbs can be twisted to such an extent.
Every movement of this strange ritual presents an anti-human exaggeration.
Just standing from a distance and watching, Ye Zhiqiang and the others had goosebumps all over their bodies.
It's like the uncanny valley effect.
Everyone on this team looks like a normal and ordinary person, but every action they make is extremely inconsistent with the definition of a human being.
It rains on a sunny day, and the fox marries.
Ye Zhiqiang and others have more or less heard this folk saying, but they never thought that it was true.
The agents, who had never seen anything like this, held their breath nervously, and the wedding team stopped and stopped to the sound of flutes and drums, slowly approaching the tree where the agents were hiding.
Ye Zhiqiang carefully observed through the branches, except for the bride in white and the groom wearing a red scarf, the others were wearing fox masks on their faces.
They were all dressed in clean and neat traditional costumes, but occasionally when performing some large body movements, Ye Zhiqiang could see a few people in the team revealing the white coats that were unique to the scientific research team!
Ye Zhiqiang, who just wanted to open his mouth to remind the agents, quickly thought that Zhao Qi had said that he couldn't speak at this time, so he could only temporarily suppress this discovery in his heart.
What the hell is going on?
Why did the newlyweds have a fox face?
Are the missing scientists in this team?
Do they know what they're doing?
Ye Zhiqiang felt a mess in his mind, although he was a well-trained agent, he had never dealt with such a strange supernatural event.
On the side, Zhao Qi frowned slightly, observing the team from far and near.
He was used to this kind of strange thing, so he was more concerned with how to complete the next task than anyone else.
The team obviously didn't find anyone hiding behind the tree.
They writhed in their strange dance as they always walked slowly past the tree where everyone was hiding.
It wasn't until the team gradually walked away that Zhao Qifang spoke:
"You can speak, it's too far away for them to feel the leaking yang energy."
Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, but then he looked at Zhao Qi and asked:
"The newlyweds in the team just now are really ......"
"That's right, it's the fox ......"
Zhao Qi looked at the direction where the team disappeared without changing his face:
"The rainy fox marries on a sunny day, this is a common saying that has been handed down since ancient times, similar to the yellow skin to ask for a seal, and it is the same way for folk spirits to become gods.
What you just saw is the fox's marrying procession.
I think I've figured out why the researchers are missing.
Since it is only the early stage of the recovery of yin qi, there are not too many animals becoming demons, so the greeting team is insufficient.
And these scientific researchers were blinded by these foxes and used to form a marrying team.
You can see just now that the people wearing fox masks are the missing scientists. ”
While talking, Zhao Qi lowered his head and took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket, and then began to write something on the paper seriously, and then tore off the paper and handed it to Ye Zhiqiang.
"Whatever method you use, be sure to find these things written on paper and send them up the mountain in the shortest possible time."
Ye Zhiqiang looked at the paper suspiciously, and all that was written on it were some funeral supplies.
White lanterns leading the way, mourning clothes, red-crested rooster blood, and so on......
Most of the things written on the list can only be found in folk funerals.
After handing the list to Ye Zhiqiang, Zhao Qi mixed the lard and cinnabar that had been prepared in advance and wiped it on his hands.
Ye Zhiqiang carefully looked at the list handed over by Zhao Qi, and what surprised him the most was that there was a coffin written in this list.
"Mr. Zhao, what are you going to do with these things?"
Facing Ye Zhiqiang's inquiry, Zhao Qi looked at him and replied concisely:
"Rush, rob the marriage!"
