With the issuance of the blockade order, this area became completely quiet except for the highways and railways that were still busy with vehicles.

Everyone was blocked in the village or in their own institution, and no one came out. Even if there is no network signal at this moment, I can't communicate with the outside world, play games, or swipe my phone.

Even the boldest and most rebellious people in the past obeyed the orders obediently. No way, military exercises are no joke. I heard that this military exercise has a death indicator. If you accidentally encounter it, your death will be in vain if you are beaten to death.

It only takes about ten days, and the compensation is quite large, so just cooperate and why bother.

After completing the blockade and completing the exploration, Shu Changshan began preparations for the final ceremony alone.

Lu Ming saw that Shu Changshan ate very little at first, only some vegetables, fruits, grains and the like, and no meat at all.

According to him, meat contains some kind of resentment of animals, which will affect his perception of spiritual power.

As for drinking, I only drink boiled water. Normally, I just lock myself in my room and basically have no contact with others. Even when food is delivered, it is delivered to the door and left to him to take.

According to him, this is to try to avoid his inspiration being affected. The principle is probably similar to that if a person smells a smell for a long time, the person will gradually lose the sense of the smell. It is said that "if you live in an abalone shop for a long time, you don't know its smell."

If you want to improve the sensitivity of your sense of smell, it is best to stay in an odorless environment for a long time, so that you can smell even a little odor keenly.

Lu Ming didn't understand these things, but he still chose to cooperate with him as much as possible. So the second operation team issued a new order. Normally, no one was allowed to come within 100 meters of him unless permitted. Even when delivering meals, robots are used.

In addition, Shu Changshan also frequently held various rituals and kept closing his eyes and mumbling without knowing what he was doing.

Time slipped away quietly under such circumstances. During this period of time, Shu Changshan was not idle, and neither were the members of the Second Operation Team.

The first was the one who had been entrusted to Lu Qingliang to find before, and the rest were people with special characteristics like Shu Changshan.

After several days of searching, Lu Qingliang found a total of six. Unfortunately, during subsequent further contact, analysis, and investigation, it was confirmed that these six people were not special.

Not to mention Shu Changshan, who refused to have contact with his side from the beginning. When contact could not be avoided, he directly revealed top-secret information such as "magic eyes" and "mutations", and later accurately found the monsters to carry out. The six people Lu Qingliang found later couldn't even tell what kind of difficulties they were encountering at the moment, such as the entrails of beasts buried during the sacrifice.

One of them even claimed that he had offended a certain great immortal in the mountains, and that he needed to perform nine-nine and eighty-one days of Dharma sessions to appease the great immortal's anger. Of course, this fee is too high for ordinary people to imagine.

Eventually, Lu Qingliang had to give up searching in this area. Operation Team 2's attempt to break the current situation of "putting eggs in one basket" once again faced failure.

In addition to Lu Qingliang, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming have been trying to investigate the case through conventional means.

The two tried to find some clues through further biological analysis, astrophysics interpretation of the CSK-9602 galaxy, the identities and backgrounds of the victims, etc., but the final result was still failure.

After several days of detailed combing, no new valuable clues could be found.

As for He Wei, during this period of time, she has been formulating a plan to capture the monsters. The members of the second operation team assumed that the monsters would really hold the guidance ceremony on that day, and that Shu Changshan would really be able to locate the monsters at that time. So, how should we capture them and ensure that they are all captured? Arrest and not let anyone escape?

Lu Qingliang was in a group, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming were in a group, and He Wei was in a group. The four of them made three preparations in total. But for now, our side can only continue to place its hope on Shu Changshan.

Ten days passed like this. When Shu Changshan predicted that the day when the monsters would hold a guidance ceremony arrived, Lu Qingliang, Lu Ming, and Zhang Dingshan finally gave up their previous attempts and devoted all their energy to this action. middle.

Shu Changshan, who had been "in seclusion" for ten days, finally came out. At this moment, his steps were a little sloppy, his body was a little swollen, and even walking seemed like he was stepping on clouds.

Lu Ming could tell at a glance that he was hungry.

This will happen to anyone who eats no meat for ten consecutive days and only eats very little other food, or who is hungry for ten consecutive days.

But at this moment, Shu Changshan's spirit was unexpectedly strong. His eyes were bright and clear, and his thinking was quick and clear.

"Mr. Shu, we are all ready."

Shu Changshan nodded: "The time for monsters to hold rituals should be between nine o'clock in the evening and four o'clock in the morning. They will select two to three hours during this period to hold the ceremony. In this way, starting at 8:30, you arrange for a helicopter to carry me around the edge of the blockade area. I will perform a ceremony in the helicopter and sense the fluctuations of spiritual power. Once there are results, I will inform you immediately. "

"good."

The three of them summoned the guards who were preparing to participate in the search and suppression battle, and asked them to prepare for the battle. They were busy, and it was about 8:30 in the evening.

The sun has completely set, there is no moon in the sky, and there are not even a few stars. Under such circumstances, at the temporary base, two helicopter formations, more than twenty helicopters, roared and took off, flying towards the distant night sky.

Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming were riding in the same helicopter as Shu Changshan. Except for these three people, a pilot, and a guard, there was no one else in this helicopter that could carry more than ten people.

Following Shu Changshan's previous instructions, the helicopter began to slowly circle around the edge of the blockade area, trying to maintain a smooth flight and try its best to ensure that the plane was not bumpy. In the belly of the aircraft that had been cleared out, Shu Changshan also started his own ceremony.

Under the gazes of Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming, Shu Changshan unbuckled his seat belt, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the ritual materials he carried with him one by one, and placed them on the small table in front of him.

It is difficult to place an altar in the cabin, so a small folding table can be used instead. However, according to Shu Changshan, except for some rituals with special needs, it doesn't actually matter if special altars or small tables are used for ordinary ceremonies, they are all the same.

In addition to the ritual materials, Shu Changshan also brought several plastic bowls with suction cups on the bottom. At this moment, these plastic bowls are adsorbed on the small table to prevent them from spilling due to the turbulence of the plane.

After that, he took out the liquid mixed with the newborn baby's umbilical cord blood and the dying person's blood, and poured it into the plastic bowl in the middle. In another plastic bowl, some animal stomach bags were placed.

The stomach pouches range in size from a few centimeters to a decimeter in size. Some of them are complete, and some are incomplete. The only thing they have in common is that if they are regarded as "ingredients", they should not be qualified.

They are too shriveled and thin and of poor quality. It was obvious that their owners had not had a good life.

Lu Ming searched for this for a long time before he found the stomach bags of animals that starved to death before spring from another hemisphere that was at the junction of winter and spring. Damn if they were any better.

The third plastic bowl contained some yellow flowers and brown juice.

Under the not-so-bright light, accompanied by the faint shadows of mountains and rivers outside the airplane window, Shu Changshan, who was sitting cross-legged, looked pious and solemn.

He placed the yellow petals on the stomach bag, poured some blood from newborns and dying people on the stomach bag, and chanted in a low voice.

This time, because of the close distance, Lu Ming clearly heard what he was reciting.

"O miserable dead soul, I have brought you flowers and blood, and I have brought you the joy of new life and the desolation of death, as well as the vitality of the resurrection of all things..."

He picked up the bowl of brown juice squeezed from the roots of the plant, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. He also smeared some blood on the palms of his hands, the center of his eyebrows, and the left side of his face, while still chanting in his mouth.

"At this moment, I become one with you. I can feel your spirit. I know that you have integrated into this world. You are everywhere and you know everything..."

Shu Changshan chanted so slowly. There seemed to be a strange rhythm in the sound, coupled with the roar of the helicopter propellers, the occasional sound of wind, the dark earth and sky outside, and the occasional shadows of mountains and rivers. At this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel There is an extra strange feeling.

There seems to be some mysterious and unknown force spreading in this space.

"Psychological suggestion, illusion, must be an illusion."

Lu Ming warned himself like this.

Shu Changshan kept chanting in a low voice for about ten minutes. Behind him, his chanting became lower and lower, and finally it was so low that it sounded like humming, and it was impossible to hear what he was saying.

After that, he suddenly made a move. Lu Ming saw that he suddenly mixed the contents of the three bowls - stomach bags, blood, flower petals and juice together. He stirred it roughly with one hand, then grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth to chew. stand up.

Lu Ming's eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he instinctively felt a little nauseous.

The sap from those petals and rhizomes is not bad, it can be considered pure natural and pollution-free. The blood taken from newborns and dying people is actually not bad if you ignore the germs it may carry. Isn't it just blood? There are many cases of gum bleeding and swallowing one's own blood. It's barely acceptable.

But the stomach bags of those animals... Lu Ming really couldn't accept it. I can't accept it no matter how hard I try to build my mentality.

Those are all alive... and they are all taken from dead beasts. This thing...

Lu Ming controlled the slight turbulence in his stomach and looked away.

After swallowing all those things into his stomach in a few times, Shu Changshan's movements returned to their previous slowness. He sat cross-legged and started chanting again facing the small table.

"O omnipresent spirit, you are the origin of all things, you are the origin of heaven and earth, you are the origin of the starry sky, you are everywhere and omnipotent..."

Just like before, the sound was loud at first, then gradually became quieter, and finally turned into humming, which was completely inaudible.

Lu Ming looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock. The time window for the monsters to perform the Guidance Ceremony has arrived. If what Shu Changshan said is true, then from now on, the monsters may start performing rituals at any time.

The helicopter was still circling the edge of the blockade. Shu Changshan sat cross-legged and motionless. Lu Ming suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart and still waited silently.

Looking at the city lights in the distance and the vague shadows of mountains and rivers in the other direction, Lu Ming's thoughts couldn't help but start to fly away at this moment.

It is undeniable that no matter how many doubts there are about Shu Changshan, he has indeed shown many extremely magical things since we came into contact with him. And for all this, at least at this moment, Lu Ming could not find any other explanation other than the so-called "Cthulhu System".

Even the scientific system he had always believed in was completely powerless in the face of these events.

So, if this time, Shu Changshan really relies on his so-called "ritual" and once again completes something that is impossible to accomplish under normal circumstances and logic, measured by a scientific system, he... can really do it Do you deny the existence of this system?

However, if the Cthulhu system exists, the scientific system will collapse. The two are completely incompatible.

Science is a set of methodology, which pays attention to logic and evidence. But unfortunately, the Cthulhu system is completely devoid of logic or empirical evidence.

Looking at the darkness outside the window, Lu Ming gradually felt a little confused.

Time is still passing quietly. In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. There are still four hours left before the time window passes.

On the contrary, Shu Changshan sat there in the cross-legged position without moving, and did not stop chanting. I don’t know whether my legs are numb or not, and whether my voice is hoarse or not.

Regardless of whether he has real skills or not, at least with this set of skills, Lu Ming feels inferior.

Just when Lu Ming was getting impatient, Shu Changshan, who had not moved for a long time, finally made a move.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Dingshan.

"I feel the fluctuations of evil forces. They are nearby, about twenty kilometers northwest..."

Take a day off tomorrow. . . . .
