Chen Xian was stunned.

He couldn't imagine how things would turn out like this.

The key that was desperately looking for before...just not looking for it?

Seeing what Fatty Huo meant, it seemed that the case this time had been handed over to someone else, and all the changes were due to the pattern on the door.

What does the seven palms stacked together represent?

When Chen Xian led Fatty Huo back the same way, he kept thinking about this question in his mind, and kept rummaging for relevant clues in his memory.

But no matter how he recalled, he couldn't recall any information related to that pattern.

"Since the information about the patterns has been kept secret...then it can't be found on the Internet or among the people...it should only be known by the people in the department..."

"Fatty Huo mentioned them before, so can we temporarily identify this as a gang?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xian felt that the clues and information in his brain began to be simplified, and those clues that he could use unconsciously came out.

I remember what Fatty Huo said before.

"It's no wonder that this hospital can create an underground facility of this scale."

It can be seen from this sentence that this organization should be very powerful and very rich. If there is no money and no power, they will not be able to build such a large-scale underground facility.

From the information analyzed, Chen Xian extracted several key points.

This organization is rich and powerful, and also has a lot of knowledge about "abnormalities", and can even artificially create some abnormal life, such as the dean they met before.

After the corpse transformation, the alienation index of his body was very high, and even his legs lost their human characteristics. The strange changes seemed to be artificially intervened.

Of course, in addition to the above points, there is another characteristic of this organization that cannot be ignored.

deterrent.

Yes, it is deterrence.

Just by simply seeing the pattern, Fatty Huo can be nervous about it, and his superiors also agreed to hand over the case of the key, and let the people from the Armed Forces immediately come to reinforce... What does this look like? How can an organization scare them into this?

You must know that the departments and institutions that Fatty Huo and Chen Xian work with are not simple. This is the only foreign management institution in the country, and it is also the only institution capable of handling "abnormalities" all over the country.

The full name of this organization is the No. 9 Secret Service Bureau. It was established in 1949. Unlike other foreign organizations or religious heritage lines in China, the departments established in the Secret Service Bureau and its overall division are also very detailed, more like a certain A large-scale scientific research institution with a clear division of labor.

In the Secret Service, in addition to the detection department where Fatty Huo worked, there were dozens of departments such as the Armed Forces Department, the Logistics Department, and the Scientific Research Department.

The division of labor in each unit is different. For example, the detection department is responsible for dealing with abnormal cases. Sometimes the nature of the case is complex, and it will also join forces with the combat members of the Armed Forces Department.

It must be mentioned here that the Armed Forces Department is not composed of aliens, and nearly 90% of the combatants in the department are ordinary people from the military.

From a certain point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces Department is far better than that of the Detection Department. Even if there are large-scale aliens in the Detection Department, the Armed Forces Department's combat effectiveness is sky-high.

the reason is simple.

The Armed Forces Department is the only unit that can be equipped with heavy thermal weapons. It has an extremely special position in the Secret Service. The procedures for mobilizing them are also extremely cumbersome, requiring the approval of leaders at all levels to be dispatched.

These combat members of the Armed Forces do not know any onmyoji techniques, nor do they know any religious methods. The only thing they know is physical transcendence.

That case has a unique code name in the Secret Service, Izui God.

This unusual case occurred on July 11, 2002, in a mountain village in the northwest region.

The target of the crime is the spirit body, also known as Jing Shen.

In just one night, its appearance led to the death of all 212 villagers in the entire village, leaving no survivors.

The village that was still full of people in the past has also become a dead and barren place overnight.

Initially, the investigation department was in charge of handling the case, and they were all aliens, but after three days and more than 20 deaths, the case still went nowhere, and the target was still at large.

In the end, it was the superior who decided to transfer the case to the Ministry of Armed Forces for handling, and only then did the daunting "Jingshen" be resolved.

I have to say that the Ministry of Armed Forces handled this case surprisingly fast, from arriving at the scene to carry out survey operations, to determining the target location for fire coverage strikes...

It took them less than half an hour from start to finish, and at the cost of three "42-type special-made individual cloud bombs", the target "Jingshen" was completely blown to fly ashes. The ghost village that came out was also razed to the ground.

Under hot martial arts, all living beings are equal. This slogan was brought up by those members of the Armed Forces back then.

It can be seen from this point that the biggest difference between the Secret Service and other foreign organizations is to keep pace with the times, but all this must be based on absolute financial resources. Without money as a basis, the Secret Service cannot develop to this point. .

Chen Xian really can't understand, is the backstage of this mental hospital so terrible? What kind of organization would make the Secret Service so jealous?

Since this organization can be regarded by the Secret Service as a major enemy, it can fully explain that it is a very big threat to the Secret Service, and maybe it is also a huge special organization, but it seems that such a large organization is different. It's impossible to have no names in the circle of people, so there will be some rumors.

But Chen Xian was certain that he had never heard of the relevant news. The pattern of the seven palms on the door panel was the first time he had seen it, and he had never seen it before.

I want to make such a large organization disappear in the country... The only possibility is that all information about it is forcibly blocked by the Secret Service, and the flow of information between the Internet and reality is also controlled by them. There was wind.

But what is the purpose of the Secret Service doing this?

Chen Xian frowned tightly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't grasp the clue, because it was the first time he had met this situation, and he had never even thought about it before.

At this time, he had already led Fatty Huo to the elevator and started walking up from the ground.

"What's the matter with you?" Fatty Huo said abruptly, staring at Chen Xian when he asked this, with a half-burning cigarette in his mouth, his eyes were a little strange, "I see you haven't said a word, I feel like you Feeling very down."

"I'm fine."

Chen Xian said softly, almost his entire body was hidden in the shadows in the corner, only revealing a pair of eyes that could faintly glow in the dark, his tone remained unchanged.

"I just feel a little ashamed, after all, this case was not done well." Chen Xian's answer did not reveal any flaws.

Fatty Huo didn't think about it, he laughed while holding a cigarette: "You have done a very good job, at your age, I'm still a little boy who doesn't understand farts, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I'll tell you ,then......"

Leaving the underground facility on the 21st floor, returning to the corpse square on the ground, and returning through the corpse group, Chen Xian and the others did not encounter any accidents.

All the way, Fatty Huo was chatting with Chen Xian. Although Chen Xian didn't like to talk very much, this Fatty was in high spirits.

After the two walked out of the mental hospital, the staff stationed outside gathered around them one after another.

Each of them looked like they were facing a great enemy, with a nervous expression and guns in their hands, as if they were guarding against something.

Seeing that Fatty Huo was safe and sound, many investigators breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces became slightly better.

"Boss, there's a call from above, telling us to block this place first..."

Zhang Dahai leaned over to Fatty Huo and said in a low voice. The voice behind him was very low, and Chen Xian, who was standing beside him, couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging from their expressions...it seemed a little nervous.

After a while, Zhang Dahai walked away, and Fatty Huo returned to Chen Xian and patted his shoulder lightly.

"Xiao Chen, go back first, and I'll send someone to see you."

Saying that, Fatty Huo looked at Chen Xian earnestly and shook hands with him solemnly.

"Although this task has not been completely completed, it is already very good to have come this far. Anyway, I have to thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Chen Xian smiled.

"The remuneration you deserve won't be less, and it will be charged to you from the headquarters in two days." Fatty Huo suddenly grinned and patted Chen Xian's shoulder heavily, "There will be more in the future. If you have the opportunity to cooperate again, to be honest, I like you very much, it would be great if you could join our investigation department and officially take office..."

Before Fatty Huo finished speaking, Chen Xian hurriedly shook his head and refused: "No, no, there are too many rules for regular employees. I heard that you have to work every day. I think it's good to be a temporary worker."

After saying goodbye to each other, Fatty Huo called an older investigator and asked him to drive Chen Xian back.

By the time we got back to the old house, it was already dawn.

After a night of tossing in the Wushan Mental Hospital, Chen Xian couldn't stand it no matter how good his physique was. Before, he almost fell asleep in the car, but he finally kept his eyes closed.

As soon as he entered the door of the old house, Chen Xian let out a long yawn.

The face that was flat and unwavering a second ago is now full of four characters of exhaustion.

"I can't think of anything right now...Go to sleep first...Wake up and then..."

Chen Xian was already in a state of semi-sleepwalking. He closed his eyes and muttered to himself. He staggered into the bedroom as if he was drunk, and fell into a deep sleep when he threw himself on the bed.

In the past, Chen Xian was the kind of person who rarely dreamed.

Most of his sleep is of very high quality, deep sleep, and only rarely does he dream.

This time it may be because he is too tired, or because he has been through too much in the mental hospital.

Chen Xian had a long dream.

In the dream, Chen Xian came to a strange square under the deep sea. The surrounding ground was sprinkled with crystal-like residues, and thousands of fish swarmed over his head from time to time.

Chen Xian slowly moved towards the depths of the square. He didn't know why he did it, he just felt... something was calling him there.

Passing through the ancient square filled with blue bricks, he soon saw a blood-colored dead tree rotting on the seabed. The broken and rotten branches were soft and slender, and they were constantly swaying with the undercurrent of the seabed, just like the capillaries of the human body. , they entangle and connect to each other, giving the leafless canopy an eerie and eerie web.

Whenever the sea water swayed with blood-colored net-like branches, Chen Xian could vaguely hear a scream. The sound seemed to come from the canopy of the tree, as if someone was hiding in the canopy... He was rushing to Chen Xian. Shout out a phrase that keeps repeating.

...

"Give it back to me, give it back to me!!"
