"Still haven't found any clues?"

An hour later, the drone sent out returned without success again. Brought back worse news than before.

"No." The person in charge of the drone also had a dark face. "We've searched the entire sea, but we still haven't found any traces. The boat seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. It disappeared in an instant."

"The conventional way of disappearing is absolutely impossible to disappear so thoroughly." He seemed a little irritable, and the tone of his words was not good.

"Their ship lost contact at nine o'clock, and the rescue started in such a short time. Even if the ship sank, it should be found now! How could there be no trace!"

"Is this ship really still in this world?" Then the person in charge seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly shivered. "Is what we are looking for really a ship that exists in the world?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was chilled for a while. This situation is too abnormal, especially in Xue Jianze, where strange things happen frequently. It's hard for them to think of something... bad.

Some people even started to peek at the badge on Shenxiu's chest. The sign of that location [Search Bureau] is reflecting a subtle silver light, which is particularly eye-catching at this moment.

According to Xue Jianze's rumors, the [Investigation Bureau] is a ghostly organization, and many people have always regarded them as disaster stars and even avoided them when they saw them on the road. No one can tell what exactly they are responsible for. It is said that this agency was established specifically to deal with those [weird], so the search work here is in charge of the search bureau, does it also mean...

This search and rescue... is really related to those [weird] in the fog?

There was a moment of silence, and a chill of silence permeated the crowd. Stimulates everyone's spinal cord.

"We withdraw from this search and rescue operation."

A person in charge of the speedboat said immediately, speaking so fast that he seemed to be avoiding something, and even started walking outside as soon as the voice fell, without stopping at all.

Seeing Shenxiu who was standing at the front didn't speak, but just glanced at the man when he opened his mouth. After turning around, he retracted his gaze and didn't make any comments on it.

Many of the rescue teams this time were recruited by private organizations. They have the right to hedge.

"us……"

There was some commotion in the venue for a while, and after someone took the lead, the others also showed signs of movement. It's just that he was a little afraid of seeing the figure of Shenxiu in front of him, and he seemed a little hesitant in his words.

But seeing that Shenxiu didn't look at them, he even turned around to look towards the sea, and turned his back to everyone.

"We also quit this job."

This action greatly encouraged those who hesitated, and some people blurted out the second half of the sentence. Some people didn't speak directly, and left silently after seeing Shenxiu turn around.

Soon, more than half of the people gathered here were reduced, and only a few people remained here, looking at Shenxiu's back and looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Is it almost there?"

Hearing that the backside had almost calmed down, he turned around when he saw Shenxiu, and looked at the part of the people who were still left.

But he didn't pursue the intention of those who left at all, and he was calm as if nothing had happened. The sea breeze blowing on his body even made him appear a little idle, and that young and handsome face even faintly revealed a trace of carelessness.

He just said to the crowd:

"Then we are going to enter the second stage of search and rescue. Search the sea again..."

"...Don't you have anything to say?"

At this time, one of the people who stayed behind finally couldn't help but speak, looking at Jian Shenxiu with eyes full of astonishment, completely unable to understand Jian Shenxiu's current attitude.

"About those supernatural events, those weirdnesses. Don't you have anything to say?"

"Spiritual events? What are you thinking?" Jian Shenxiu put his hands in his pockets, looked at him, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little, as if he saw some joke.

"Then if I tell you that the sword of Damocles hangs high above everyone's head, and I am the judge sent by God to the world, one day I will judge all of you for your sins. Then you now Will you kneel down and expect from me? Will you beg me to forgive your sins?"

"Me." The man was speechless. "You, this... this joke is too funny."

"Yeah. Since you know I'm joking, why do you still believe the [spiritual events] they said?" Jian Shenxiu frowned.

"The search bureau has announced to the public many times that there is nothing weird in this world, please respect science. Maybe there are indeed some phenomena that we don't understand yet, but we should study them instead of attribute them all to ghosts and gods superior."

"Then why didn't you stop them from leaving?" The person who had been lectured was a little dissatisfied. Although he knew that the person in front of him was a [superior person], he couldn't help but argue: "In this case, why don't you talk to them?" What about an explanation?"

"Explanation? Is the explanation useful? It's like I explained it to you now, but do you really believe my words in your heart?" Jian Shenxiu smiled. "Then why don't you tell me why you are still here? Those people are worried about supernatural events and left. Why don't you leave?"

"Because..." The man was dumbfounded, and after a pause, he said honestly. "Because I am responsible for the search and rescue of drones. I don't need to go anywhere, as long as I stay behind. And... I also have a certain interest in supernatural things. I also want to continue this almost investigation Think about it."

"Yeah, haven't you heard my speech? But don't you still believe in the existence of [spirits]?" Jian Shenxiu spread his hands. "How powerful do you think [interpretation] is. To change people's inner prejudices, stubborn ideas, and inner fears?"

"Even if it is explained, those who should be afraid will still be afraid, and those who should be afraid will still be afraid. The darkness is just the loss of light, but it can remind people of countless weird fantasies." Jian Shenxiu raised his hand and pointed his index finger Tapped his chest.

"Everyone sees different things in the dark, because what they see is a reflection of their heart. The most terrifying thing in this world is the abyss in the heart. Everything outside is just a temptation."

"The ghost is not outside," Jian Shenxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking directly at the man's pupils. "In the heart of man."

There was a faint red glow in his eyes.

"I……"

So that person seemed to be really influenced by the strong self-confidence in Jian Shenxiu's words. After opening his mouth, he couldn't speak, but nodded in shame, then turned around and started preparing again.

"Then I'll let them prepare for the second round of search and rescue."

"..." Seeing that Shenxiu didn't speak, he just watched his leaving back, not knowing what he was thinking.

A moment later, until the man disappeared around the corner. Seeing Shenxiu, he turned his head again, looked at the other people around him, and asked:

"Do you have anything else to say like him?"

The people from the search bureau under him were all on Ning Wai's side, and after hearing Jian Shenxiu's words, they also looked at these people with him.

"We didn't." But those who remained shook their heads. "Mr. Jianshen doesn't need to ask this question. We are members of the monthly reading group. The missing one is our lady. We will do our best."

"..." Shenxiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he noticed the neat black suits of these people, and was a little dumb for a while.

"People in the monthly reading group, don't participate in your own rescue. What are you doing here?"

"The monthly reading group also has a rescue plan, which is led by the parents of the family. We are the ones sent by the family to assist you." The leader of the man in black was neither humble nor overbearing. "The family is very grateful that you can lend a helping hand at this time. After all, the Search Bureau is an elite department. With such a large-scale search and rescue, you may encounter the problem of insufficient manpower. So let us come to help."

"That's very thoughtful." Seeing Shenxiu laughing. "If you can provide such considerate service when the eldest lady of your family goes to sea, I guess I don't need to trouble these things here now."

"...Miss has her reasons for doing things." This was an insinuation, so the faces of these gangsters flushed a little, but they couldn't explain anything. He could only argue vaguely.

"Okay, are you from the speedboat team? Then continue to search the sea." Jian Shenxiu also lost interest in continuing to talk nonsense. The cold task was assigned directly.

"Yes, Mr. Jianshen." Those people saw Jianshenxiu's attitude, but they accepted the task without hesitation. Turn around and leave.

"Search Chief."

It wasn't until these people left that Shenxiu's expression changed slightly. With a chilly expression on his face, he asked a search officer next to him to take out a tablet, and began to make "forks" one after another on the tablet.

UAV aerial search (×)

Sea surface search by speedboat (×)

Positioning channel survey (×)

Analysis of water quality change (×)

...

Bright red crosses were punched on the flat screen one by one, seeing Shenxiu's expression getting colder and colder.

The eldest lady of the monthly reading group is missing. The manpower and material resources for this investigation are extremely rich. But now almost all conventional methods of investigation have been exhausted. However……

nothing.

All signs point to [The Mist]. But there is no trace that can show the [path] to that [fog].

Where are the clues...?
