"Boss, when will you return to the team? Everyone misses you these days when you're not here."

Thinking of the retired old team leader, and the flattering Chen who is leading them now, Hua Ying could frowned.

That guy is full of fat, flattering, and the number one in political struggles, but his job is a mess. Now the atmosphere of their criminal investigation team is not as good as it was when the old captain and Gu Dui were here.

Thinking of the reason why Gu Chu was suspended for investigation, Hua Ying felt angry.

Isn't the essence of their police officers to maintain social order and protect the lives and property of the people? In order to save people, Captain Gu did not follow the regulations when exercising his powers. , who will pick on your faults in the process.

When the old captain was sick and retired, the next captain of the Criminal Special Brigade would be selected from the two vice captains.Let Gu team eat unspoken grievances.

During the period of Gu Chu's suspension, the other party thought that he was already a sure candidate for the captain, which was considered arrogance in the team.

Hua Ying worked overtime last night, but it wasn't because of a big case, it was just because a leader's daughter lost a pet turtle the size of a palm. Such a trivial matter mobilized the entire criminal squad and let them watch it all day. After a night of surveillance video, they finally found the turtle in the man-made pond of the community through surveillance, and they were freed.

This kind of bullshit happened more than once or twice. Hua Ying and the criminal police who wanted to do practical things have long complained. With this skill, wouldn't it be good to turn over some old cases that have never been solved.

Everyone is waiting for Gu Chu to go back, but in Gu Chu's current situation, I'm afraid he really doesn't have enough energy to focus on work.

"I'll go back after the investigation is over."

Gu Chu gave an ambiguous answer, there is a flattering Chen who is making trouble there, and the higher-ups don't know how long it will take to investigate.

"Hey"

Hua Ying sighed, her round face wrinkled into a ball, looking pitiful.

After separating from Hua Ying, Gu Chu took a taxi to the high-speed railway station and bought a train ticket to Xijing.

Xijing is not too far from Jincheng where she lives now, and it takes more than an hour to get there by bullet train.

Last night, she searched the Internet for information about Shenhuo Village. In real life, there are traces of Shenhuo Village, but this is just a closed village that has disappeared for many years. Most of the information that can be found on the Internet is only the most basic. entry.

Gu Chu decided to go to the local area. There must be more detailed paper materials in the library or the archives of the county party committee there.

Fortunately, she is only suspended for investigation now. The higher-ups also know that the reason for investigating her is too far-fetched. It can only be said that the game between the two forces, the flattering Chen side won, and she became a small victim of partisan struggle. They dare not It's gone too far. Except for not having to go to work, other titles and benefits are still reserved.

With this identity, Gu Chu's application to find old files was easily approved.

According to county records, due to changes in the terrain, the entire Shenhuo Village was relocated to the foot of the mountain in 2009 to protect the lives of the villagers on the mountain. The ancestral hall with the most historical value in the village was in disrepair for a long time and the restoration process was too difficult, so it was finally decided to give up protection. .

Judging from the ruins of the ancestral hall photographed, the entire ancestral hall has been demolished, and some of the surviving bricks, tiles and wood materials have also been taken away by local villagers. The residents of the former Shenhuo Village were scattered and merged into several villages at the foot of the mountain. Over the past ten years, The name Shenhuo Village is rarely mentioned.

Because of the special history of Shenhuo Village, the county annals also recorded the last two wizards of Shenhuo Village.

One died in the ancestral hall in 1961, and the other died in the County People's Hospital in 2013.

All this seems to coincide with the end of the story. Gu Chu doesn't know if this is a coincidence. If they have not completed the task in the story, will there be any changes in the county records about Shenhuo Village in real life?

What Gu Chu is most afraid of is whether "One Hundred Thousand" has the ability to affect real life.

It's a pity that she only participated in the story mission once, so she couldn't accurately judge her guess.

In the following days, Gu Chu maintained his previous routine, but increased the intensity of his physical training, and became more interested in records and legends of supernatural beings and ghosts.

She emptied the bookcases at home before, and replaced them with many books on Shinto and Buddhism. In view of the existence of some Western magic tools and lineages in the mall, Gu Chu also collected a lot of legends about foreign gods and ghosts, as well as the methods of deciphering folklore.

During this period, no one dialed the phone number she left for the Public Security Bureau in her hometown. It seems that there is still no clue about Chu Xiangru.

Thirteen days later, the task book was updated. Shi Ren said that the task book update meant that the next task was coming.

According to his experience, under normal circumstances, the frequency of readers' tasks is about one or two months. Obviously, the two tasks of Gu Chu are too close together.

[The hospital at twelve o'clock in the morning, he is playing hide and seek with you, find me, find me, if you can't find you, become me]

[In the hospital at two o'clock in the morning, there are babies crying, they are roaring, they are roaring, what you said is wrong, the child who said the wrong thing, must accept the embrace of death]

[In the hospital at four in the morning, there are poor people who have lost things, help to find them, and kind people will be rewarded]

Although the quest this time has not been shown yet, from the perspective of the content of the story, the difficulty has been greatly improved compared to the novice quest. If her reading ability is correct, there will be at least three "ghosts" that need to be solved in this story.

She has to prepare in advance.

On the second day of the task book update, Gu Chu felt his body getting hot, which was a hint that he was about to enter the story.

She locked the doors and windows, lying on the bed, ready at any time, for a few minutes, her consciousness swayed, and the next second, she appeared in a crowded environment.

"Doctor, my son has a high fever, it's over 40 degrees."

"Don't jump in the queue, you don't have to rely on your age to sell your old age."

"You little nurse can't do it. You broke my grandson's hand. To see how the child is crying, I will bring your head nurse."

...

With the noise in his ears, smelling the pungent disinfectant, and looking at the medical staff in a hurry, Gu Chu realized that he was now in the hospital, which should be the background of the story in the mission book.

"You are the interns who came here this time. Didn't you say that there are eight people, why are there only seven now?"

A middle-aged female nurse with a solemn expression walked up to Gu Chu and the others, holding several forms in her hand, looking at them and comparing the photos on the forms.

This should be the identity of their entry into the story this time. A total of eight readers participated, that is to say, those who are standing beside her now are all the "companions" of this mission.

Gu Chu looked at the few people around him obscurely. They were all readers who had experienced at least one mission, and they would not bluff like newcomers. Most of them, like Gu Chu, carefully looked at their companions this time to see which ones People seem to be worthy of being wooed and become companions who can really help each other in this mission.

"Nurse intern, Zhan Yunyun, Su Qian, Fang Zhanjie, the three of you will report to the nursing department later, and there will be an intern department for you, intern doctors, Gu Chu, Mao Shiqi, Zheng Bo, Chen Jianjun, Chen Youzhi, Mao Seventeen, what about the seventeen Mao..."

The female nurse shouted loudly with a form, it seems that Mao Shiqi was the one who was late.

There were three men and four women present. Zhan Yunyun and Su Qian were both young women in their 20s and 30s. Fang Zhanjie, who was also assigned to be a nurse, was tall and tall with a beard on his face. Being arranged to be a nurse, her face turned red.

He glanced at the nurse's pink uniform, wouldn't he have to stuff his sturdy body into this little pink cloth too.

The remaining three, Zheng Bo and Chen Jianjun, both looked relatively young, probably at the age when they first entered society, while Chen Youzhi was a little older and was of medium height. When they saw Gu Chu's shaved hair, they couldn't bear it Live frowned.

"Mao Shiqi!"

"Hey, here we come!"

The female nurse shouted impatiently again. At this time, a crisp and cheerful response came from a distance. A figure shuttled vigorously through the crowd and appeared in front of them after a while.

"I'm sorry sister, my stomach hurts and I went to the toilet."

While talking, the visitor calmly stuffed the screwdriver into his pocket.

In terms of appearance, this may be the youngest of the eight people present. His attire is a little less common. The shape of the clothes is strange. The scattered fabrics with various patterns are sewn together, but they are not messy.

With delicate features and fair skin, he clearly had a pointed chin, but he still carried baby fat. When he smiled, his eyes were like two hooks, his cheeks became plumper, and he was smart and cunning, like a lovable little fox.

When he was running towards him, everyone saw something dangling behind him, and when they got closer, they realized that it was actually a waist-length haircut. From the front, his hairstyle was no different from that of young boys nowadays, that is, A head of slightly trimmed short hair, together with a handful of braids at the back of his head mixed with colorful hair bands, made him feel more exotic.

"Okay, come with me when you're done."

Because of Mao Shiqi's good looks, the female nurse's anger was suppressed, and she was elated when he called her sweet sister. The child's identity record shows that she is only 22 years old. Mom, still call her sister, so cute.

"Who damn it, tear down all the windows on the first floor of the hospital!"

"Stupid bastard, who screwed the screw on the door, and broke it for me!"

Not far away came the sharp roar of the security guards. Gu Chu looked from afar and saw a few security guards carrying the main entrance of the hospital. It turned out that some doors and windows had been stolen.

She looked at Mao Shiqi, only to see Mao Shiqi was also looking at her and winked at her.

"I'm a timid person. Aren't they all filmed like that in ghost movies? The doors and windows of a haunted hospital in the middle of the night are locked by invisible forces. I will take ten steps at a time and help remove the doors and windows first."

Unknowingly, Mao Shiqi walked up to Gu Chu's side. The two were about the same height, which made Mao Shiqi very unhappy, and decided to put a pair of inner height increasers in the sneakers in the future.

"Sister, I'm so scared, will you protect me?"

Mao Shiqi's eyes were watery and soft, with the innocence of a teenager.

The two walked at the end of the crowd, and no one noticed their conversation.

Gu Chu tilted his head slightly away from Mao Shiqi, thinking of the other party's behavior, he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

This is how one step counts as ten steps, this is clearly running a hundred steps away.
