After the Strange Talk Prevails

　　 In order to write the report, Zhou Ming began investigating the strange incident the next day.

　　 The investigation of rumors-type weird events is generally divided into three steps: investigation of the cause of the rumors, investigation of the process of the development of rumors, and finally the sorting and merging of various data and intelligence.

　　 Zhou Ming was responsible for this incident. The initial rumors came from Shahe Village, ten kilometers away from Qipan Village. Therefore, Shahe Village was also Zhou Ming’s main investigation site.

Unlike Qipan Village, although Shahe Village is also a remote and backward rural village far from the township, the living environment of the villagers here is much better than that of the neighboring Qipan Village. Most of the local residents live in red brick houses with large streets. Some of them are children and the elderly, and very few young people in their twenties.

The appearance of the residents in Shahe Village is a projection of most remote villages. Most of the people who stay in the village are elderly and children who are unable to work. Most of the young men and women go to the nearest town to work and earn money. This is the same as Zhou Ming’s journey through the former village. The status quo is quite similar.

　　 "Hello, do you know what happened in the air-raid shelter in Qipan Village?" Zhou Ming asked when he caught someone on the street.

　　 The dark-skinned middle-aged man put down the **** on his shoulders, squinted at Zhou Ming, and then took the cigarette by his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke.

　　 "Are you a police officer?" The man stared at Zhou Ming, his eyes full of vigilance.

　　 "I'm a student who deals with the university weirdly, and investigating this incident is also part of learning." Zhou Ming said.

　　Because of the unique "Human Rights Law" and "Life Safety Law" in this world, each large city is separated by three walls to separate independent residential areas. Residents in the four residential areas enjoy completely different security guarantees.

　　The residents outside the third wall hardly enjoy personal safety protection from the government. Therefore, the residents outside the wall have extremely weak trust in the government, and many people are extremely resistant to cooperating with the government.

　　 Knowing this in advance, when Zhou Ming launched an investigation, he chose to interview local residents as a student.

People outside the wall are generally very tolerant of their students, because they think that students want to work for the government with the idea of ​​dedication to the people, and those who have become public security officers are already running dogs of the corrupt government in their eyes. .

　　 Therefore, they are more willing to cooperate with students like him in interviews than police officers who have official certificates.

　　 "Oh! You are a student! What did you ask me just now?" The man's vigilance disappeared a lot.

　　 "Do you know anything about the air-raid shelter in the woods of Qipan Village?" Zhou Ming

　　 "Oh! This!" The man thought for a moment, then posted it mysteriously, "Secretly tell you! The experiment in the air-raid shelter was done by the government!"

　　 "What? Why do they do this?" Zhou Ming frowned slightly, telling him instinctively that the other party was talking nonsense.

"Of course it's research! They don't care if we live or die in order to study the weirdness! The **** set up a laboratory in the cave and arrested all the people in the village for experiments. They didn't treat us people living outside the wall at all. As human beings, treat us as beasts!" The man said emotionally, but his voice was low.

　　 Zhou Ming frowned: "Are they here to arrest someone?"

　　 The man was taken aback, and shook his head: "That's not true, but the people in Qipan Village have been captured by them."

　　 "Didn't Qipan Village become a deserted village a long time ago? There is no one there anymore."

　　 "Fake! They fabricated it to deceive people! I also met someone who had escaped from Qipan Village a while ago. Many people in their village have disappeared!" The man shouted loudly.

　　 His yelling attracted the old men and women who were chatting around, and several of them who knew what happened took the initiative to talk to Zhou Ming.

　　 "I heard people say that they go to bed at night, and some people will disappear when they wake up during the day! Sometimes a family will disappear for some reason!"

　　 "Hey, isn't it? How can you live in such a village! No wonder they have to escape from there." The old lady said with a leaky tooth.

"I have a relative who said that in fact, Qipan Village has long been closed down! Isn't it the annual population statistics? The population statistics of Qipan Village have never been counted. There are still people living, and people outside say that there is no one! It's not that I met people who fled from there, I thought there was no one there long ago!"

　　 "It must be deliberately arranged by those officials, so that we feel that there is no one there, so they can catch all those people for experiments!" An old man looked excited, as if he was talking about the indisputable truth.

　　 Zhou Ming silently listened to these people talking about their so-called big secrets, and he knew a little about this incident.

　　 When he was on a mission, he passed by Qipan Village. The houses there did not look like people lived.

　　 But the honest uncle and other people in front of him do not seem to be lying, and they have no reason or motivation to lie.

　　 So, there is only one truth...

　　 "Hey! I said child, do you want to be a hermit?" the uncle suddenly asked.

　　 Zhou Ming was taken aback and nodded: "Well, that's right."

　　 "Then I will show you the way."

　　 "Hey! What are you talking about!"

The old man next to 　　 pulled the man hard and stared at him, seeming to warn him not to continue.

　　 The man glanced at the old man and flicked his sleeves and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to watch this kid be a running dog for the relevant department!"

　　 "Child, listen to me, if you want to be a hermit, don't go to that university!

　　 There was a monk in our village! The ability is great!

　　He specializes in cultivating hermits. The hermits he cultivates don't do things for those who are officials, and he specializes in protecting ordinary people like us! Many children in our village have followed, and if you are lucky, you might be able to get a conjurer! "

　　High monk?

　　 Zhou Ming frowned, realizing that the matter was not so simple on the surface.

Under normal circumstances, there are only two formal ways to become a hermit. One is that he has the qualifications and potentials like Zhou Ming, and he enters a professional university for further study before entering the relevant department; the other is that he has an unusual curse. Power, the curse power level passed the national assessment and was recruited into the relevant departments.

　　 The act of privately accepting disciples and cultivating hermits, as the other party said, is an extremely serious violation of the law.

　　 "The process of increasing the power of the curse is very dangerous, why do you want to give the child to that unknown person?" Zhou Ming asked.

As soon as 　　 said this sentence, the friendliness on the faces of the surrounding villagers disappeared a lot, and the atmosphere of the chat instantly became weird.

"I don't know what the curse power you are talking about is, but you can't say that the master is a man from the wrong path, he is a real conjurer! Much more powerful than those government lackeys!" The old man said.

"Let the children in the village go to the relevant department, it is better to let them follow the master to learn real skills, and come back to protect the village! When we have ten or eight hermits in our village, I am afraid of what weird!" Showed an attitude of rejection and Zhou Ming's theory.

Zhou Ming wanted to continue the theory with the other party, but found that the heated discussion around him disappeared. The villagers who were very enthusiastic just now suddenly calmed down. Each of them stared at Zhou Ming in silence, looking like a spy who had entered the village. .

　　 They stared at him vigilantly, observing his reaction, feeling that as long as he said something bad about the monk, he would be put on the side of the government's lackeys and lose their trust forever.

　　 Zhou Ming swallowed, and changed his words: "That monk is really amazing?"

　　 "Of course! Once all the monsters in the air-raid shelter ran out. Without him, the village would have suffered!"

　　 "Oh, that really seems to be a good person." Zhou Ming followed the other party's meaning and said, "Then how can I see him?"

　　 The man was about to continue, when the old man next to him kicked him hard and said angrily: "You **** said it!"

　　 The man's expression became serious in an instant, UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, and his newly opened mouth closed again.

　　 "Um...you will meet by chance, most people can't see the master, and we don't know how to find him."

　　 "That's it... Then what does he look like? It's good if I see it..."

　　 "Don't tell me, don't tell me, I'll go to work first."

　　 "It's gone! There is no need to eat dinner!"

　　 Zhou Ming didn't finish his questioning, and a group of people scattered around like birds and beasts.

　　...

　　 Although no more detailed information was obtained in this interview, Zhou Ming knew some secret information that the relevant departments had not investigated. They would not tell the relevant departments what they said just now.

　　 Besides, Zhou Ming still has a feeling that all the people in Shahe Village have been deceived.

　　 Half of what he heard just now, he felt that what these old men and old ladies said was completely unsupported by evidence, and was purely a conspiracy theory full of loopholes.

For example, the village closure policy of Qipan Village. If the government really wants to experiment with a village, it will never use such gentle methods. They will not let the villagers of Qipan Village escape, let alone let them run to this Shahe Village. To announce the truth.

　　 Obviously, this incident is not simply a sudden rumor, but someone is spreading rumors, and there are still premeditated and organized rumors.

　　 Ordinary rumor makers will not pretend to be villagers who have fled from Qipan Village. This is enough to prove that this weird incident has a behind-the-scenes master, and the behind-the-scenes master has a very clear purpose in planning this incident.

　　 But, why did they spread rumors in Shahe Village that the government is forcibly arresting people for human testing?

　　The inexplicable monk also makes people feel weird. The villagers here seem to be helping the monk deliberately to hide something.
