Chapter 20 Pear Blossom Lantern Festival (2)
“No! No! No!”
“I keep asking, it’s really annoying! Don’t look at how ugly your lantern is! "
Yue Shan finally ran out of patience and blurted out with a distorted face.
Wang Dongdong and Yi Chunxian looked stunned. They did not expect Yue Shan to be so rude.
Although Yue Shan usually has a hot temper, she would never get angry like this with someone she met for the first time.
But the stall owner smiled with great satisfaction, and he didn't know how to see the smile from this lipless face.
"Since you don't want to guess, then stay and be my lantern!"
As they said that, before they could react, pairs of black and blue hands stretched out and held them tightly. He grabbed Yue Shan's arm and dragged her into the darkness inside the stall regardless of her struggles.
Then Yue Shan’s cries suddenly disappeared behind the blood-red lanterns.
The stall owner was still sitting, looking at Wang Dongdong and Yi Chunxian with a wide smile.
“Run!”
Wang Dongdong picked up Yi Chunxian who was too frightened to move and ran away.
Her mind finally became clear.
This is weird!
Although she had dealt with a few weird things with her seniors from the Patrol Department, she had never encountered an aroused weird. She had always cleaned up the scene after the weird attacks and helped contain the weird objects, so she didn't have any trouble for a while. Realize.
In addition, the strange rules will cause the creatures in the strange world to fall into confusion, even if she is already at the fifth level of the first level, she cannot avoid it.
Although she has woken up now, she completely missed the opportunity to save Yue Shan.
Wang Dongdong was very regretful.
But now is not the time for regrets.
Because another lantern riddle stall appeared in front of me.
——
Liu Sheng was studying the function of the "world" in the warehouse based on the "Yi Yu Memory Notes" written by her, when suddenly the spiritual message on her waist started to "drip". A few times.
"Please all colleagues from the Weaving Institute who are still in Li County, please come to visit the Inspectorate immediately after receiving the message!"
As soon as the spiritual message was opened, Zhang Yuanzheng's message rang out.
Didn’t you say that you have been taking a break for the past few days? Why is Zhang Yuanzheng at the Weaving Institute at this time?
And why are you asking everyone to visit the Patrol Division, a place that even she has never had the opportunity to set foot in?
You know, the only interaction between her and the Inspector is the handover of the artifacts. It was the Inspector who always sent the artifacts directly to the warehouse.
Liu Sheng was confused, but he also knew that there must be some major emergency to issue such an order.
Then she quickly put the notes and "The World" into her storage bag, locked the door, walked out of the warehouse yard, walked through the corridors, and walked towards the Patrol Department.
These two things were far out of this world, and she didn't dare put them in the warehouse.
The courtyard of the Patrol Division is at the north corner of the Weaving Courtyard. A warrant from the Patrol Division is required to enter and exit.
At this time, a colleague from the Patrol Department was standing at the door to respond.
He had a serious expression and a medium build. He was about thirty-five years old. As soon as he saw Liu Sheng, he took out his warrant and pressed the door. As soon as the door opened, he led her inside.
"It really happened suddenly. A large-scale strange incident broke out in the center of Li County. We will discuss the specific situation internally. In short, we can only follow the deployment of the hospital."
Liu Sheng's heart tightened when he heard this. Li County is currently holding a pear flower lantern festival, and there are huge crowds of people. Once something strange happens, I don't know how many people are involved. Moreover, she remembered that Wang Dongdong also went there, and wondered how she was doing now.
Now only Zhang Yuanzheng and another colleague from the training center are sitting in the main hall of the inspection department.
Zhang Yuanzheng saw Liu Sheng coming and motioned for her to sit down.
Colleagues from the Patrol Department brought her in and then went out.
The colleague from the training center was a gentle Huangshan woman who looked to be in her thirties. He took the initiative to nod to her and said: "Finally I meet Secretary Liu, the great hero of our weaving institute. I am training." Song Haiyin, Deputy Director of the Institute, it is a pleasure to meet you. "
The training institute is the department responsible for the training and further training of the personnel of the local weaving institute. It mainly formulates daily training plans and prepares the venues and equipment required for the training. He didn't have much contact with the warehouse when it came to tonics, etc. Liu Sheng only had contact with her at the beginning of her on-the-job training, and then she had no contact with him.
Zhang Yuanzheng was using his spiritual message to contact someone without raising his head, but he was not talking to them.
After waiting for a while, a colleague from the Patrol Department walked in alone and shook his head at Zhang Yuanzheng with a serious look on his face.
Zhang Yuanzheng sighed: "Okay, it seems everyone is here."
"After three days of rest, I would either go home or go to the lantern festival. Who would have thought..." Zhang Yuanzheng was very sad, and then said seriously, "The situation is critical now. I believe you already know that there is something strange happening in Li County, and it is very mysterious. The entire The county block area has been expanded into it. "
"Including the county government office."
The last sentence Zhang Yuanzheng emphasized is very important. You must know that when something weird happens, one of the important tasks is to evacuate and isolate the people. , which needs to be dispatched by prefecture-level yamen. However, there is no way to communicate with each other inside and outside Guixiao. That is to say, the entire Li County is now leaderless, and more innocent people may mistakenly wander into Guixiao.
“And according to the value detected by Fu Ze at the edge of the weird, this weird should be more than extremely dangerous.”
Fu Ze is the colleague who just brought Liu Sheng in. He also He nodded in agreement with what Zhang Yuanzheng said.
Song Haiyin took a breath of air: "Weirdness that is more than extremely dangerous and has such a wide scope should not have appeared in the Tang Kingdom in recent decades."
"Yes, the last time there was something of this scale and level. Sixty-three years ago, more than 6,000 people died in the "Lin'an Incident". Liu Sheng knew the strange history by heart, "The only good thing now is that the population of Lin'an is thousands of times that of Li County."
"But now is the time of the Pear Blossom Lantern Festival. The population is dense and there are many tourists. It is conservatively estimated that there should be thousands of people trapped." Fu Ze sighed.
“So now we need our Weaving Institute to step forward. Although we usually belong to different departments and have different responsibilities, in general, it is the responsibility of all members of our Weaving Institute to resist the strange and protect the people. Where." Zhang Yuan said seriously.
"If it weren't for the fact that Fu Ze is the only one left in the Patrol Division now, I wouldn't want Deputy Song and Secretary Liu to put themselves in danger, but now there is nothing we can do... Fu Ze obeys the order!"
Fu Ze immediately stood up and said "yes".
"I order you to lead a team into Weiwei to find the members of the Weaving Institute who are still alive, and work together to solve the weirdness and save the people." Zhang Yuanzheng then looked at Liu Sheng and Song Haiyin, "Deputy Song Secretary, Secretary Liu , you and the other two are now appointed as members of the temporary patrol team to assist Captain Fu in completing the mission."
If the strangeness is not resolved in time, it will grow and spread rapidly as it swallows more and more creatures. According to the current weird level, position, and people involved, we have to arrange for people to go in and give it a try, even if it is only a drop in the bucket.
Song Haiyin and Liu Sheng also understood this truth. Although they had never participated in the inspection mission, they could only accept the order: "Yes!"
"I have contacted the General Administration of Textiles and they We are arranging people to come to assist, so you don't have to worry too much. It is more important to ensure that as many people as possible survive." Zhang Yuanzheng also knew that Song Haiyin's cultivation was not high and Liu Sheng had no cultivation at all, so it was very dangerous to let them in. , could only comfort him, "I will open the magic circle first to prevent the people from straying into the treacherous place, and then I will go in to support you."
"The hospital is incompetent! Opening a magic circle with such a wide range consumes a lot of money. You may be in danger if you come in again!" Fu Ze said in shock.
Especially if a practitioner comes into contact with evil energy when he or she is internally empty, he will easily fall into madness. He did not say this because everyone knew it.
"It doesn't matter, only I can do this." Zhang Yuanzheng said as if he didn't care.
Normally, if a magic circle of this size is to be activated, at least five monks of the sixth level and above of the initial realm will be arranged, but now there is a shortage of manpower, so he, a monk of the Mingzhen Realm, can only come on stage.
"Captain Fu will take you to collect your armor and equipment later. It is not clear what is going on in the treacherous place. I will set off first. Everyone must take care of yourselves."
Zhang Yuanzheng gave his final instructions.
