Chapter 20 Accidents
"what?!"
Chen Xian sat up abruptly from the bed, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his muscles were instinctively tensed, as if he was ready to fight.
But soon Chen Xian calmed down and gradually realized that everything before was just a dream, just a very real nightmare.
Chen Xian sat on the bed and recalled the pictures in his previous dream. He felt that those pictures were like what he had personally experienced. They couldn't be more real, especially the blood-colored giant tree...where did he see them before? ? Why do you think more and more familiar?
Silently recalling for a while, Chen Xian couldn't find a similar picture in his memory. He could only think that he was thinking too much, thinking about it every day and dreaming at night. He had experienced too many things in the mental hospital before, and dreamed some things. Weird things are not surprising.
Chen Xian slept from early morning to evening, and when he woke up, he was a little depressed.
If everyone has something they hate, one of the things Chen Xian hates the most is taking a nap.
Of course, it can also be said that what he hates is the loneliness of sleeping until dusk and suddenly waking up.
There are thousands of lights outside the window, the streets are full of traffic, the bustling crowd is noisy and comfortable, only his home is empty and silent, he feels like he has fallen into the biggest black hole in the universe, the kind of rushing and deep-rooted. The loneliness only made him feel like he was torn from the world by some unknown force.
He took out a 10-pound pack of refrigerated beef in sauce from the refrigerator, and took out the two roast chickens left over from yesterday. Chen Xian was busy in the kitchen.
Due to his special physique, his food intake is not the same as that of normal people. Basically, the amount of a meal is equal to the amount of a family of three in a day, or even more.
If it weren't for the better benefits of being a temporary worker, Chen Xian might not even be able to support himself. This way of eating with ten pounds of meat... it really hurts money.
Chen's old house is very large. In addition to the main room as the living room, there are eight side rooms that can accommodate people. The kitchen is a separate room, and the two bathrooms are also separate cottages. If you add the front yard and back yard corridors, etc. , The total area of ββthis old house is at least 350 square meters, and it is the largest house in Laoluoguxiang.
Chen Xian likes it very much.
Even prepared to live here forever.
Although the decoration of the house is outdated and looks old-fashioned, Chen Xian does not dislike it. Instead, he likes the traces left by the years in the courtyard. Every bit is his childhood memories, which can remind him of those pretty good ones. day.
Ningchuan is a well-known tourist city in China, and it is also a city that enjoys comfort. The pace of life is very slow compared with other developed cities, and there are all kinds of entertainment venues in the city. The air is good and there is no trouble of smog. , so whether it is to let the elderly care for the elderly, or to let the young spend their youth here, Ning Chuan is competent enough.
But Chen Xian has lived here for more than 20 years, and he doesn't think this city is very interesting, and his life is not as colorful as his age.
Of course, most of the old people may have more fun than him, at least they can find friends to play chess and mahjong, or go out on a tour with friends, or even dance square dance.
On the other hand, Chen Xian doesn't go out except for necessary work and food purchases. He looks like an otaku but is not a real otaku. He doesn't play with his mobile phone or computer. He either sleeps or eats every day, or else Just in a daze.
Needless to say, even he himself felt that he was wasting time, but he never thought about changing this kind of life, because he couldn't even say what he wanted, and it seemed that there was nothing that would interest him... ...No, I can't seem to say that, he's still quite interested in dealing with those abnormal cases.
Just when he was bored, the phone suddenly rang.
Chen Xian was lying on the reclining chair in the yard and was about to fall asleep. When he heard the bell, he felt a little bit more refreshed. When he saw the caller ID, it was from Lao Zhou, the internal contact of the investigation department.
"Hello? Xiaoxian, can you hear me?"
A slightly old voice came from the phone, and there were many people typing on the computer keyboard, which sounded like a mess.
"I can hear it." Chen Xian replied, with a warm attitude towards this familiar contact person, "Why did you suddenly call me? Is there a case for me to handle?"
"There's no case for now." Lao Zhou laughed, but the voice over there was still very noisy, with constant clattering, as if he was constantly flipping through the paper materials, "Should you be at home now?"
"exist."
"I read the information they sent... Your mission has been completed... The leader's evaluation is quite high." Old Zhou smacked his lips, showing some emotion, "The salary has already been posted. Now, it is estimated that it will be called to your card tomorrow, I will help you with the bill, and you will pay attention to check it when the time comes."
"Okay." Chen Xian said politely, "Then I will trouble Master Zhou."
The phone didn't hang up, Lao Zhou seemed to want to say something in silence, and Chen Xian didn't ask any further, just lay quietly on the chair and waited.
"I read the information...you found out that there is a Taoist formation in that mental hospital...it's called Luoshen formation, right?"
"Yes." Chen Xian replied.
"Has that formation been broken?" Lao Zhou asked cautiously.
Hearing this question, a trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xian's eyes, and he slowly sat up from the chair, "We didn't break it, the formation doesn't seem to be activated."
"It didn't start..." Lao Zhou pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "Are you sure it hasn't started?"
Chen Xian thought for a while and said, "At least when we left, the formation was in a state of disuse, and I also wiped the formation diagram at the eye of the formation, although I don't know if it would help... ..β
"When you left the underground facility, those corpses were still panting, right?" Lao Zhou asked.
Chen Xian recalled for a while, and replied, "They are still panting. It's almost the same as when we went in before. Those corpses haven't changed much."
Lao Zhou was silent, not saying a word.
Chen Xian seemed to sense something, frowned slightly, and asked, "Did something happen to the mental hospital?"
"This..." Lao Zhou hesitated, as if thinking about whether to say it.
"I won't say it if it's inconvenient," Chen Xian said.
"I took a look, it's not a secret, it's like this..." Lao Zhou lowered his voice and said to Chen Xian in a low voice, "The Armed Forces Department rushed to Wushan to participate in six hours ago. It worked, and nothing happened at first, but when we got to the square in the middle... something went wrong."
there is a problem?
Chen Xian frowned, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.
"When the armed men collected samples, they seemed to have touched the vertebrae of those corpses." Old Zhou whispered, his tone a little nervous, "Just touched one, and they all came alive!"
Hearing what Lao Zhou said, Chen Xian was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scenes in the mental hospital.
Those corpses kneeling in the square...
Those weird and dazzling golden vertebrae.....
At that time, Chen Xian felt that it was strange that there was no requirement for the spine in the fall formation. It can be said that from the formation of the formation to the formation, there was no requirement related to the spine.
If those corpses are really the corpses of the dead, then this matter is really hard to understand. Why do people in the mental hospital use gold to beat their spines? Is it really burning money?
"Do you need my help?" Chen Xian asked.
Thinking of the pictures of the hundreds of corpses coming to life together, Chen Xian felt panicked. Can the Armed Forces withstand so many evils?
"I don't need help for the time being. The Ministry of Armed Forces has blocked the Wushan Mountain. Those abnormalities should not be able to escape from the mental hospital. If the conventional treatment methods do not work, they may take further steps..."
At this point, Lao Zhou did not continue to speak.
"Anyway, you don't need to get involved in Wushan. You should also pay attention during this time. Don't run to Wushan. I know how harmful your curious temperament is." The tone of Lao Zhou said this. Obviously a lot more serious, he told Chen Xian seriously, "The nature of this case is very complicated. If you are involved, you will have a lot of unnecessary trouble, understand?"
"I know, Master Zhou, don't worry." Chen Xian smiled, caring about Lao Zhou was very useful. After all, he and his grandfather Chen Ba were old acquaintances, and he was half of his credit for becoming a temporary worker.
From a certain point of view, Lao Zhou is a special guardian of Chen Xian, and many cases are also handed over to Chen Xian by his hands.
"Don't worry? I won't worry if you do less dangerous things!" Lao Zhou couldn't help complaining when he said this. Chen Xian's concern, "Take the last case as an example. You dragged the spirit body and jumped off the sixth floor. You're going to die? And the last time..."
Chen Xian blinked helplessly, but did not interrupt Lao Zhou's words, but listened patiently.
But at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind Chen Xian, as if something had fallen to the ground, when he instinctively turned his head to look...
"And last time, I didn't say you, Xiao Xian, you really don't make people worry... Hello? Hello?? Can you hear me??"
Old Zhou's voice was still ringing on the phone, but Chen Xian's attention was not there, no matter how much he shouted, there was no response.
All of Chen Xian's attention was attracted by the person standing in front of him, and he couldn't look away at all.
"How could it be you??"
