Chapter 200 The lake is flooding
Zhongzhou City has fallen?
All the responsible persons present looked at Zhao Jianguo with different expressions.
"Captain Zhao, Zhongzhou City is also a first-tier city after all, and there are people in charge there. Is it too exaggerated to suddenly say that it has fallen?"
"Yes, is it possible? Is it an S-class supernatural incident like a starving ghost that we all need to deal with together?”
"If it is an S-class supernatural incident, with so many of us in charge, we should be able to solve it."
Everyone said something to me, but none of them believed the so-called collapse.
Zhongzhou City is not a special city. On the contrary, it is a very ordinary city, not as good as Dahan City, not as good as Dachang City, and even worse than Dadong City.
There are not many such central cities in the country.
The supernatural incident that happened here is not right either. The person in charge of Zhongzhou City, Cheng Hao, can handle it by himself. Since the occurrence of the supernatural incident, Cheng Hao has been in good condition, which makes Zhongzhou City never change the person in charge. people.
Moreover, Cheng Hao's strength is not weak. If there is any supernatural event, it is impossible that there will be no movement at all.
At least when it is found that it cannot be handled in the early stage, it will apply for support from the headquarters, instead of waiting for a city to fall before the headquarters makes arrangements.
It is impossible that some supernatural event happened so quickly that Cheng Hao directly destroyed the entire Zhongzhou City without a chance to rescue the headquarters, right?
Zhao Jianguo said nothing, just stared at everyone calmly.
Obviously he was just an ordinary person, but at this time he put a lot of pressure on the ghost controllers. It was not until all the people in charge quieted down that Zhao Jianguo continued to speak: "Although I don't want to admit it, the truth is better than we imagined. It’s even more troublesome. Let’s take a look at the video footage transmitted by the satellite.”
He stepped aside slightly, revealing the large screen that had just started.
It can be clearly seen from the picture on the screen that the city has fallen into silence, as if abandoned, no longer lively and noisy, like a dead city.
No, it should be said that Zhongzhou City is a dead city now.
Only a few sporadic figures appear occasionally. They are either those who are not afraid of death, or some curious people who have entered the city.
“No wonder Captain Zhao said it fell. It’s such a dead city. It’s okay to say it fell. But is there any information about supernatural events? There won’t be any information about what happened in such a big city. No?”
Li Jun was the first to speak out. Although he is responsible for personal protection of Wang Xiaoming, he can also be on the front line when needed.
After experiencing the Peace Hotel dinner incident today, their strength has been strengthened to some extent. With so many powerful teammates around, Li Jun doesn't think this will cause any big problems.
Zhao Jianguo shook his head, "I don't know when this supernatural incident happened, and I don't know what the symptoms are. When we couldn't contact Cheng Hao, things had already turned into this. The specifics. The situation may need to be confirmed on site, which is why I summoned you."
After a pause, he continued: "Su Fan, there are more things going on in Xiangjiang City, so you should go first when the time comes. Go deal with the situation in Xiangjiang, Sun Rui, you and Cao Yang, too. Dajin City and Dahan City are both very important places, and you also have to deal with the ghost post office incident, so you should go and do your own business first. , must prepare carefully, and maybe they will go to Zhongzhou City immediately tomorrow to deal with this supernatural incident."
The people in charge looked at each other, and no one raised any objections, which made Zhao Jianguo secretly relieved.
The next step is to wait for news from Zhongzhou City. Officials have sent people into Zhongzhou City and are conducting exploration work under the sight of satellites.
The person in charge is very precious. Ordinary people will try to collect as much information as possible to avoid wasting the power of the person in charge.
Just like now, after the preliminary satellite inspection showed that there was no danger, helicopters one after another flew into Zhongzhou City and began the most comprehensive scan.
At this time in the Peace Hotel, Lin Yuan did not go back to the third floor, but was waiting in the lobby on the first floor.
The only ones in the store now are the twins. If the boss doesn't go back to rest, they can only stay with Lin Yuan in the lobby on the first floor until the ghost bus sounds outside the house.
Meng Xiaodong and Li Qingzhi walked into the store together, and Lin Yuan greeted them with a smile, "Mother Meng is back? Lao Li, look what gift I brought you!"
As he said, Lin Yuan took out the headless ghost figure.
In his hands, the headless ghost is a black but transparent piece of clothing, a bit like the material of black silk. Giving such a piece of clothing to a person like Li Qingzhi who looks like a gorilla, The picture is really eye-catching.
However, Meng Xiaodong has seen the big world, but the twins are intimidated by the powerful strength of the "store manager" and dare not laugh.
The headless ghost blended into Li Qingzhi's body, spreading like a black liquid on his body, and finally fell to the ground from his heels, forming a dark and dense line behind him in the direction of the backlight. shadow.
But the strange thing is that this shadow has no head.
Lin Yuan checked the upgrade requirements of "Gold Finger" with satisfaction, and his joy dropped a bit, but as the "store manager" he couldn't show his frustration, so he patted Li Qingzhi on the shoulder. , "I will get the hat back for you as soon as possible. Work hard. By the way, there is no problem at the Caesar Hotel. Are those robots easy to use?"
Li Qingzhi was just like that. He stood there quietly without saying a word, but the strange thing was that Lin Yuan seemed to be really communicating with Li Qingzhi, nodding his head from time to time and talking about something. The scene was very strange.
Fortunately, Meng Xiaodong and the twins are not ordinary people and are very resistant to this situation.
About half an hour passed before Li Qingzhi finished his "report". Lin Yuan was very satisfied with Li Qingzhi's work, "Caesar Hotel... should now be called Caesars Animal Breeding Base. The work there is very important. , Lao Li, please pay more attention. When the hotel becomes bigger and stronger in the future, I will give you a promotion and a salary increase, and even give you shares. Okay, go upstairs and rest first. I will pay you back tomorrow. You have to work, don’t be tired.”
As a qualified boss, Lin Yuan is not bad at drawing pie, but he did not wait and went directly back to the third floor.
At this time, Li Qingzhi had not gone upstairs yet. When Lin Yuan disappeared at the top of the stairs, he transformed back into a tall male corpse, and at the same time, a cold breath came out of his body.
At the same time, the headless ghost shadow under his feet spread out like ink, quickly occupying the space on the first floor.
The twins took a step back together, their faces changed greatly, and they returned to the utility room without looking back, while slamming the door of the utility room.
The shadow spread to the door of the utility room, as if it had encountered a dam, it did not move forward, but spread in other directions.
However, within a short time, the entire floor of the hall was basically covered by black shadows, except for a small area under Meng Xiaodong's feet that remained the same.
At the same time, in front of Li Qingzhi, illusory figures appeared one after another.
Li Jun, Cao Yang, Wei Jing, Sun Rui, Guo Fan, Su Fan, Chen Yi, Jiang Shangbai, A Hong, Lin Bei, Zhou Deng and other heads of the headquarters who came to the dinner today.
There are also Ye Zhen, Yang Xiaotian...
There are also Tong Qian, He Yuelian, the twins...
These illusory figures stood one after another in front of Li Qingzhi, and he slowly raised the old hatchet in his hand, preparing to cut these people in half.
At the same time, the people in charge who were waiting for the news in the headquarters conference room were all startled.
The weaker ones just felt restless, as if something terrible was about to happen, while the stronger ones had a drastic change in their expressions.
Just before they could react, the strong sense of crisis suddenly disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
Is it an illusion?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to the big screen. Obviously they had some misunderstandings, but they were also extremely vigilant about the fall of Zhongzhou City.
In the Peace Hotel, Li Qingzhi’s knife failed to cut down after all.
Meng Xiaodong did not take action, she just looked at Li Qingzhi calmly, watching Li Qingzhi swing the knife, and also watched the knife stop in mid-air.
A thick white mist rushed in from the door, and countless white mist poured out from the third floor, quickly turning the living room into a fairyland.
In the mist, Li Qingzhi's figure froze there, while those supernatural figures dissipated in the white mist and never appeared again.
The headless ghost was also suppressed and turned back into a shadow, obediently staying at Li Qingzhi's feet.
Lost the target of the attack, Li Qingzhi put down his hatchet and continued to wander on the first floor, while Meng Xiaodong also went upstairs and returned to 201.
"Li Qingzhi's body is dead, but his consciousness should be sleeping in the dead body. The 'store manager' cannot be wrong. He just doesn't know if Li Qingzhi has a chance to recover after filling in the shadow. ”
What Lin Yuan cares about most now is also to complete Li Qingzhi.
As long as he gets the Ghost Shadow Head, Li Qingzhi can complete it. By then, the complete Li Qingzhi will also promote the second upgrade of the Peace Hotel.
No one likes to be imprisoned.
The same is true for Lin Yuan. He is a little tired of staying in the study room on the third floor that should not exist. If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will go crazy.
“I don’t have a sense of urgency as an ordinary person’s world view. Although there is a golden finger hanging in front of him like a carrot, the effect is not as great as imagined. Maybe I have to go out for a while, before he notices After the amnesia becomes serious, it’s time to go see an old Chinese medicine doctor. Li Bohua, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, is also a very valuable person.”
Lin Yuan opened the human skin notebook, which was as dark as ink. The steel smile was unconsciously scratching on it, and soon a picture appeared on the paper.
This is the bottom of a lake.
The lake seems to have been polluted, causing the bottom of the lake to be pitch black, making it almost impossible to see anything. However, there is a coffin at the bottom of the lake in the painting.
The coffin lid moved slightly, and a few strands of long black hair floated out, floating in the water.
“My arrival has changed too many plots, especially Yang Jian’s growth rate has slowed down a lot. Now there seems to be a problem over at Ghost Lake, He Yin’er has fallen into it, and we have to go and get rid of it. She has to be rescued. Otherwise, without all the coincidences in the original work, He Yin'er would never have the chance to become a fourth-generation spiritualist."
"It just so happens that with the suppression of Ghost Lake, I can appear in this world. You can also do some interesting things for a short period of time."
Lin Yuan gradually started to worry.
The sky gradually became brighter, Lin Yuan woke up from his sleep and went downstairs refreshed.
Downstairs, Xianglan is adjusting the piano, and He Yuelian is cleaning with the twins. Everything looks prosperous.
Only Tong Qian was in a daze at the door of the kitchen, worried.
“Are you worried about today’s turnover?” Lin Yuan walked over with a smile, caring about his employees. Tong Qian shook her head, "There are no special circumstances today. I will definitely not be able to achieve my business goal. It's all because of the world, which is getting more and more chaotic."
Lin Yuan became interested, "Tell me, what happened again?"
"Zhongzhou City was flooded, many people died, and many people were missing. Some people said This is not a normal natural disaster, but someone is causing trouble behind it.”
Tong Qian changed the topic to the supernatural events in Zhongzhou City.
She was originally very willing to participate in the handling of supernatural incidents in Zhongzhou City, but unfortunately, starting with Zhao Jianguo, Wang Xiaoming and Cao Yanhua did not agree with her request.
She is also very clear that her greatest value to the headquarters lies in the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".
Just now when she met the "store manager", she wanted to test Lin Yuan's intention to control the water. Maybe the "store manager" was tempted and took action directly?
It's a pity that Tong Qian's plan worked, but it was of no use.
"It was a really troubled time, but it has nothing to do with ordinary people like us. At most, we can donate some materials to support it later."
In any case, Lin Yuan doesn't want to leave Heping now. Restaurant.
Tong Qian pursed her lips, "I heard that there is an ancient town of Taiping near Zhongzhou City. Many people usually travel there. Now that Zhongzhou City is flooded, Taiping Ancient Town probably cannot escape. It's a pity. What a tourist attraction.”
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly, "You mean Taiping Ancient Town?"
Tong Qian smiled secretly in her heart and nodded innocently.
"It seems I have to go there. I just signed the contract, and I'm just in time to look for the contracting business for that river."
Lin Yuan said and prepared to go out. .
Tong Qian blinked and murmured: "Is my persuasive ability so strong that I convinced the store manager before I even exerted my strength? Could it be that I was very powerful, but I just didn't discover this aspect? Talent? ”
At this time, Zhongzhou City was under complete martial law. Except for the occasional helicopter flying over in the sky, almost no other moving people or objects could be seen.
The support from the headquarters also arrived at eight o'clock, but this time not many people came.
Wei Jing controlled two deadly ghosts.
Xiong Wenwen can predict the future within ten minutes.
Yang Jian also controlled two deadly ghosts, one of which was made by Meng Xiaodong and personally delivered to him by the "store manager".
Jiang Shangbai controlled two fierce ghosts.
Zhang Lei, who only controlled one ghost, became extremely powerful after being temporarily suppressed by the "store manager".
Zhou Deng is good at stealing things, including things from ghosts.
When they arrived, a paper man came out from the corner and looked at everyone with a smile, "You are finally here, I have been waiting for a long time."
Zhou Deng was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "You, you, you... did you run away from the paper shop or the Peace Hotel?"
The paper man looked at Zhou Deng in confusion, obviously not understanding what Zhou Deng meant.
Wei Jingdao: "This is Liu San, codename Paperman, the person in charge of DQ City."
The person in charge?
Paper Man Liu San?
Zhou Deng looked at Liu San with a strange look on his face. It was obvious that he still had many thoughts in his mind. Wei Jing did not waste time, "Did Captain Zhao ask you to come here for support?"
Although Liu San had a lot to ask, the most important thing now was to deal with the supernatural events in Zhongzhou City. "Team Zhao gave me too much."
A joke relaxed the atmosphere at the scene a lot.
Wei Jing looked around, "You arrived here first, did you notice anything?"
"This place is too weird. I have sent some paper people out, but I got The information is limited. If possible, I would like to know everyone's intelligence. Don't get me wrong, we will cooperate soon. It will be good for the next task to have some understanding of each other. Of course, there is no need to tell all the secrets, just like me. I won’t show all my cards. As the proposer, I will explain my situation first.”
Liu San revealed his supernatural power, and at the same time, he spoke in the surrounding corners. Paper figures appeared one after another.
They all have the same appearance. Although they are sloppy, looking at them makes people's scalp tingling even more.
Zhou Deng glanced at everyone and said first, "My name is Zhou Deng. I like to borrow things from ghosts. By the way, the reason why I was so strange to you just now is because I went to a paper-making shop. , there are a lot of supernatural items made of paper. If you need it, I can take you there if you have the chance."
Liu San was obviously a little excited, looked at Zhou Deng deeply and said: "Okay, I'll trouble you. Then let’s work separately now to at least find out the source of the supernatural incident.”
Zhou Deng was stunned for a moment, “Wait! Don’t they need to introduce us?” Although I don’t know much about Liu San, some basic information is still very clear, so there is no need to introduce it again.”
Listening to Wei Jing's explanation, Zhou Deng didn't know what he muttered, but he didn't say anything else.
Then they separated and searched the city. However, Xiong Wenwen was taken with him by Wei Jing, which was also the requirement of the headquarters.
The soul boy who can predict the future is very important to the headquarters.
Especially Xiong Wenwen is still trying hard to introduce his single mother to the "store manager". Although no one is optimistic about it, what if he succeeds?
The existence of the "store manager" is too mysterious and scary.
It would be great if the "store manager" could be cared for in the world. Even if the possibility is low, the headquarters will maintain its default support.
The person in charge of the headquarters who came to deal with the incident in Zhongzhou City this time can be said to be a low-end version.
Except for Liu San, a paper man with unknown strength, Li Jun, a half-alien who wore ghost skin and was resurrected with the help of ghost makeup, was not there.
Yang Jian was not strengthened by Guimeng, nor did he complete the ghost head. He didn't even get the coffin nails in his hands, and his strength was even worse than in the original work.
Not to mention Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng, the supernatural strength may not be low, but the method is too simple and the effect is unknown.
Jiang Shangbai also had no chance to put on the ghost shroud. With only two ghosts, he could barely be regarded as a fleshy punching bag with the help of the scapegoat, the supernatural piano sound in his mind, and the wish-making spirit that protected his body.
But sandbags are the most powerless thing in Ghost Lake.
The group of people started taking action, and Lin Yuan also left the Peace Hotel on a ghost bus.
Except for Lin Yuan, there was no one else on the ghost bus. It seemed as if this ghost bus had become his exclusive ride.
Lin Yuan looked out the window boredly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The ghost bus passed several platforms safely but never stopped. When passing the ninth platform, Lin Yuan suddenly said: "You are not going the wrong way, are you? Last time I went to Taiping Ancient Town to go to the market, I only passed It’s only been three stops. I’m warning you, if you dare to delay my business, I’ll kill you.”
I don’t know if Lin Yuan’s threat had an effect. A minute later, the ghost bus stopped in Taiping. The bus station in the new urban area of the ancient town stopped.
Lin Yuan got off the bus with satisfaction, "You go first, remember to pick me up when I come out."
The ghost bus honked its horn twice, as if in response Lin Yuan said this and then disappeared from sight as if fleeing.
Lin Yuan headed to Ghost Street by a familiar route.
There was no one in the originally bustling new city area today, and Lin Yuan was not surprised. "Tong Qian said that Zhongzhou City was flooded, and it is estimated that all the people here have been moved away, but she doesn't know that store." How's it going?"
Soon, Lin Yuan entered the ghost street.
The ghost street was still deserted and there was no one around. Lin Yuan went directly to the paper-making shop and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the paper-making shop was still open.
"Fortunately, I came not too late. Boss, I heard that Zhongzhou City nearby was flooded. How are you doing here? Do you want to move?"
In the store, four people There were various kinds of paper bundles scattered all over the floor. It looked like a master was busy, but no one could be seen.
A voice rang out from the darkness in the house: "Zhongzhou City is flooded? Could it be that... the lake is overflowing?"
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "The boss knows the situation?"
"I know something. There is a big lake upstream. There must be something wrong with that lake. It's not a big deal." The voice in the house spoke very casually, but the tone was very solemn.
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Is it the source of the river with many fish and shrimps?"
"Fish? Shrimps? If you want to say that, that's right. Boss Lin is interested?" the voice asked curiously.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have some spare money on hand, and I want to see if I can contract a fish pond. By the way, your village chief is He Liansheng, Lao He, right? Do you want to talk to him about renting a fish pond?"
The voices in the room seemed to be unable to keep up with Lin Yuan's rhythm. It took a while before he said out loud: "I don't know, maybe you can ask Boss Lin yourself."
"Okay."
