"Look at these people who surrendered!"
Liu Zhenming quickly browsed the information and locked his eyes on the list of persons who surrendered. At the top of the list is Bill, the leader of the Nine-Headed Bird Team.
"Bill?"
Liu Zhenming exclaimed, it was unbelievable that the two leaders of the Nine-Headed Bird were discovered one after another today! The boss is dead and Bill surrenders. The harvest is simply beyond imagination.
"It's really unexpected that it was Bill who surrendered!"
"This person is known internationally for being extremely cautious. He is afraid of being hit on the head by a wall when walking. Now he is forced to ask our Longguo Police Station for help!"
This news shocked everyone in the conference room. If they were little minions, they might not be so moved. But they are from the Central Military Region and cannot be easily swayed by trivial matters.
"Indeed, our meeting this time, including the previous dispatch of the Night Wolf Squadron to the border, is to prevent the Nine-Headed Bird from sneaking into our country on a large scale." Lao Xu spoke at the right time.
"I didn't expect them to be so cunning, and two teams slipped in."
"However, these cunning killers have been arrested one after another, and they are all related to Yin Yang Inn!"
"We must pay attention to this Yin Yang Inn!"
Liu Zhenming nodded in agreement, "That's right! It's obviously not easy for the Yin Yang Inn to make the Nine-Headed Bird Assassination Organization stumble one after another!"
"Collect information about this inn quickly and see if you can dig out more information!"
"This Yin Yang Inn is too mysterious, we have to study it carefully."
"In addition, communicate with the Seventh Branch of the Ministry of National Security and transfer Bill and others to our military region for interrogation!"
"Since Yin Yang Inn has given this great gift, if we don't make use of it, wouldn't we be betraying their good intentions!"
"With living people like Bill, they must be more valuable than the dead ones like the boss."
"Of course, the autopsy report of the boss and others must be given to me as soon as possible. I really want to know what secrets are hidden in the existence of being able to annihilate them?"
Lao Xu took the order and left in a hurry.
In Sanjiashan Village, night falls, and the village chief's house is peaceful. Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang lived in the same room. Fatty Wang sat at the table and fell into deep thought, trying to recall the details of today's corpse recovery, trying to remember every moment.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes to rest. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was smiling.
A series of system prompts sounded in my mind:
[Ding, the body of the nine-headed bird was detected and has been returned to the Central Military Region of the Dragon Kingdom! 】
[Ding, the mission reward has been distributed, thirty thousand taels of silver! 】
[Ding, if you get the primary underworld weapon "A Paper of Cause and Effect", you can collect the client's lifespan, luck, etc.! 】
[Warm reminder, the primary weapon can be upgraded to the intermediate weapon later! 】
[Ding, you have obtained the permission to upgrade the junior inn, and you can upgrade guest rooms, morgues, dormitories, conference rooms and many other facilities...]
Hearing these awards, Zhang Hao's smile became even brighter. The two rewards he was most looking forward to were finally obtained - "a piece of causality" and the right to upgrade to a junior inn.
Ever since the Yin Yang Inn opened, Zhang Hao knew that the inn had the ability to charge the life span of others. And it can not only collect life span, but also luck, soul, etc. These are of great value to both humans and souls in the underworld.
Now with the magical tool "a piece of paper of cause and effect", the functions of Yin Yang Inn will be even more complete. In the past, Zhang Hao was eager to collect these as rewards because their uses were so wide.
The "paper of cause and effect" seems to be just an ancient piece of yellowed paper, but its effect is incredible. As long as you sign and pledge on it, you can create a cause and effect, and it is only natural to collect money when doing things.
In addition to "one piece of cause and effect", the upgrade permission of the junior inn is also a reward that Zhang Hao is extremely looking forward to. With the experience of the last upgrade, he knew that it would be of great help to the inn.
Zhang Hao was secretly happy and couldn't wait to return to the inn to see the changes after the upgrade. But before that, he still needs to solve the feng shui problem of Sanjia Mountain Village. After Zhang Qilin returned from delivering the corpses, they would have to start solving the problem of the Ten Corpses.
Just as Zhang Hao was immersed in joy, Fatty Wang suddenly turned around and frowned and asked, "Brother Zhang Hao, what can I do?" Zhang Hao opened his eyes and responded, "Nothing." His heart had already been occupied by the future. filled with plans and expectations.
"You said today that the force-removing talisman should be enough for ordinary zombies."
"What if we encounter a more powerful zombie?"
"Also, how do we distinguish the strength of the zombie?"
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and then explained in detail:
"Typically, most people who drown do so involuntarily, so they are likely to become wights."
"The power of corpse demons varies, but it is not easy to accumulate evil spirits, so particularly powerful corpse demons rarely appear."
"However, if several zombies gather together and their birth dates are carefully coordinated, their power will be greatly enhanced!"
"But this situation is usually done deliberately by some warlocks and is an evil means."
"To deal with such a powerful zombie, we need to use our brains."
"We can try to separate them and then defeat them one by one. When multiple zombies gather together, their evil aura will be very powerful, and we cannot take it lightly."
"But separated, they are not so scary anymore."
Fatty Wang nodded seriously and listened to Zhang Hao's explanation with concentration.
Then, Zhang Hao added: "However, according to legend, some corpse demons can even suppress the Water Dragon King after practicing in the water for a long time."
"Once the Water Dragon King is suppressed, it will be like a magpie's nest occupied by a dove. It will no longer be able to protect the local people, but will absorb their luck to strengthen itself."
"Water Dragon King?" Fatty Wang asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't the legendary Dragon King live in the sea? Is there also a Dragon King in the river?"
Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "The Water Dragon King is not necessarily a dragon. As long as he lives in the water for a long time and cultivates to become a spirit, he can be called the Water Dragon King."
"The water and soil of each place nourish the local people, and the formation of the Water Dragon King is also inseparable from the nourishment of popularity. Therefore, once a Water Dragon King appears in the waters, it will always find a way to give back to the people nearby, making the waters rich with fish and shrimps. ”
Fatty Wang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then recalled his previous experience with Zhang Hao on the Yangtze River. Zhang Hao once mentioned that the ten corpses in the Zhenjiang dragon coffin were all zombies. So he asked:
"Brother Zhang Hao, could the corpse evil here have suppressed the Water Dragon King?"
"When we deal with the Ten Corpses Tomorrow, do we have to separate them first?"
Zhang Hao squinted his eyes, then shook his head and said, "We'll see what happens tomorrow." "The situation in the waters of Sanjia Mountain is more complicated than I thought."
Fatty Wang nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, Brother Zhang Hao, do we need to prepare anything for tomorrow?"
"Of course." Zhang Hao said lightly, "Tell them that people born in the year of Dragon and Snake should not go out tomorrow to avoid being hurt by the dragon energy under the river. In addition, let them offer incense at home facing the northeast corner. Worship the Water Dragon King.”
"Second, tell other people in the village to prepare the blood food of three animals, glutinous rice, black dog blood and black donkey hooves. There will be a sacrifice before the corpse is retrieved tomorrow."
"I know about black donkey hooves!" Fatty Wang said with a smile, "We have used them before!"
Zhang Hao nodded slightly, and then said: "Black donkey hooves are specially used to suppress evil spirits, and they are also very effective against corpse evil spirits. We may use it after fishing out the corpse."
"Also, collect some of the incense ashes left over from their daily burning of incense and give it to me. It would be best if each household should have some."
"That's all."
"Also, go to the archaeological team and inform them that people born in the year of Dragon and Snake should not come over tomorrow."
Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao with confusion, and then said reluctantly: "Why inform them? They don't believe us, and they asked for it themselves."
Zhang Hao glanced at Fatty Wang, then showed a smile and said: "Who said I just went to inform them? Our work is done, we have to collect the balance, right?"
"While notifying them, I also need to pay attention to the payment, so that they will not find other excuses to default in the future."
When Fatty Wang heard this, he immediately laughed, nodded, then turned and walked towards the door, saying: "Haha! That's okay, I, Fatty Wang, like to collect debts the most! Don't worry, little brother Zhang Hao, I'll go there right now Notify them.”
……
The archaeological team is currently staying in the homes of villagers in Sanjiashan Village. Because there were so many people coming, they were spread out among several different households.
At this time, something important seemed to have happened in the village, and everyone started to get busy. Usually around nine o'clock in the evening, most of the villagers have already rested. After all, apart from drinking, they had no other way of entertainment at night. But tonight the village was extremely lively, noisy and noisy as if something was going on.
Most of the members of the archaeological team had washed up and were ready to rest, but when they heard the noise in the village, they all walked out of the room and stood at the door of the yard looking at the busy villagers.
Chen Wenjin, who was wearing a facial mask and a white velvet pajamas, looked at them with confusion and then stopped a villager who was holding a black dog and asked: "Brother, what are you doing so busy at this late hour?" ?”
The villager glanced at the black dog in his arms and said:
"I heard from the villagers that Mr. Yin Yang gave instructions. Because we have to deal with the ten corpses in Zhenjiang's ancient coffins, we have to prepare some sacrificial supplies in advance."
"Now, everyone is busy gathering a hundred incense, black dog blood and black donkey hooves. Mr. Yin and Yang said that these are necessary for sacrifices."
"This is related to the fortune of our village, and no one dares to be careless. Every household is looking for something that can be used, and then send it to the village chief's house for Mr. Yin and Yang to see."
Chen Wenjin looked at the black dog in the villagers' arms in disbelief and asked doubtfully: "You don't really want to kill it, do you?"
The villager was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand and explained: "No, Mr. Yin Yang is very kind. He only wants a little blood from the black dog, and he will heal it later and will not really hurt it."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to deliver the things quickly. I'm afraid Mr. Yin Yang will be impatient." After saying that, the villager hurried away.
At this moment, the members of the archaeological team stood curiously at the entrance of their respective courtyards to watch the busy preparations for the sacrifice.
Chen Wenjin couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Although she had used Zhang Hao's words to remind everyone, it was still very difficult for her to accept the idea that there was a corpse in the river.
She couldn't accept that someone long dead could control the salvage of a coffin.
"I hope this is all just a coincidence." Chen Wenjin said to herself. When she returned to the room, the noise from the outside world was still in her ears, but her thoughts drifted to Jiang Sheng and Ma Tao.
"But if this is all a coincidence, how can we explain the incident between Jiang Sheng and Ma Tao?"
"Ma Tao was dragged underwater, which was the direct cause of his drowning."
"And the one holding him back was Jiang Sheng, who disappeared the day before."
"The forensic doctor said that Jiang Sheng had been dead for more than ten hours, and his body should have been as stiff as stone. How could he still drag Ma Tao back?"
All these signs do not seem to be explained simply by "coincidence."
It's more like some weird phenomenon.
Suddenly, the ringtone of the mobile phone broke Chen Wenjin's meditation. She glanced at it and saw that it was news from the work group. The group was actively discussing tomorrow's memorial ceremony for Mr. Yin Yang.
Everyone expressed their opinions, some were curious, some were disdainful, and some were just watching the fun.
Early the next morning, the cock crows three times and the sky is just getting dark. The villagers of Sanjiashan Village gathered by the river. Except for those born in the year of Dragon and Snake who worshiped at home, almost all of them came.
The riverside pier is filled with three tables, on which are placed various sacrificial supplies such as incense, blood food, glutinous rice, and incense ash. Zhang Hao stood in front of the table, holding a writing brush with a yellow charm in his hand, with a solemn expression.
The leader and some members of the archaeological team also came, but not all, and some were still skeptical about it all.
Secretary Wang saw that the director of the archaeological team was also present, and couldn't help but joked: "Director, aren't you a snake? Why are you here?"
The director snorted disdainfully: "What's wrong with the Snake? I don't believe the lies of these charlatans. It's true that he helped us fish out the corpse yesterday, but I won't believe it even if he says it's a corpse evil!"
After hearing this, Secretary Wang just smiled and said nothing. Although he was dubious about Zhang Hao's words, yesterday's experience did change his view of Zhang Hao.
However, more evidence was needed for him to fully believe in these supernatural phenomena.
At this time, he watched the villagers in the distance following Zhang Hao to perform sacrifices, with mixed feelings in his heart. The director of the archaeological team shook his head again, with disdain and confusion on his face.
Secretary Wang chuckled lightly, "Actually, Mr. Yin Yang cannot be said to be a liar."
"He is indeed good at retrieving corpses, as everyone has seen."
"Furthermore, I heard that there are many specialties in the business of fishing for corpses. It is commendable that someone can inherit this ancient industry."
"We should not be too extreme when looking at problems. The world is not just black and white. Being too absolute will only get ourselves into trouble."
Secretary Wang knew that the director had some conflicts with Zhang Hao yesterday, so he had a bad impression of him.
But the fact is that when their archaeological team was helpless, it was Mr. Yin and Yang who came to help and successfully retrieved the body.
Although he asked for payment, he did help them solve a big problem. (End of chapter)
