Soul Painter

In the hotel.

Gao Fan was staying up all night studying the materials given by the deputy director.

He said he didn't want to join STK, but when encountering pollution incidents, Gao Fan was still "disgusted of integrity".

Of course, he can explain that this is just to relieve curiosity, but is it enough to satisfy curiosity? I don't want to know more about it. Is it enough to know more about it? Don't want to try it yourself?

This is probably the reason why Lu Zhi said that the investigators had no good results. They were all firmly attracted by the mystery.

Having seen the weirdness and greatness of the other side of the world, the ordinaryness of the real world becomes extremely boring, especially for a character like Gao Fan.

Gao Fan read that most of the deputy director's materials are about Fang Jianbin, which is nothing to be concerned about. A small part is about Bengka Village. The reason for the judgment is the "pollution" encountered in Bengka Village. It is because this village is extremely mysterious, far away in the mountains, and in a modern society, it still maintains a sense of distance from the world.

It is this sense of distance that attracts a large number of tourists to travel far and wide to find out, but because of the remoteness of the road, there is no video record, and it is only circulated in a small circle.

Residents in the village worship a local god called "Bengka", and there is a sacrificial ceremony called "Bengka Nuo Dance". It's just that everyone is wearing a mask and having a carnival.

Since Bengka Village is only open to the public during the "Nuo Dance", it is even more attractive.

The latest Nuo dance was just two days later.

Not only did he get some information from the deputy director, Gao Fan also called STK and got a lot of information from the operator - the phone number was the one that Lu Zhi told Gao Fan before. When Gao Fan got the letter of appointment from STK, he called I noticed that the phone number left for him was the same as that given to him by Lu Zhi. STK seemed to have only one operator, which was very difficult.

Of course, Gao Fan also severely mocked STK's call, such as arresting strong men, immoral, anti-human rights, etc., mocking their shameless attitude of forcing people to join the gang. Tell Gao Fan:

"STK is actually a mutual aid organization. Investigators are all watched by different great beings. In order to fall into madness later, we need to help each other. At the same time, we must bring as much as possible to human beings before we completely fall into despair. hope."

Pooh!

Who wants to be crazy, who wants to despair.

Gao Fan pouted at STK while studying the information sent by STK:

"Bengka Village, a suspected F-level pollution source."

In the information sent by STK, Bunka Village was described as a not very dangerous source of infection.

Although Bunka Village is suspected to be carrying out cult sacrifice ceremonies, so far, no large-scale pollution incidents have occurred.

Large-scale pollution incidents refer to incidents in which the number of victims is more than multiple and will definitely expand further. For example, the maggot man incident that happened in Tiantian Food Hall before. Although the maggot man is just a minion, he can detonate the whole audience under certain circumstances. And spread terror and madness throughout Tianmei, such an incident is a C-level.

Some investigators have paid attention to Bengka Village and judged it to be an F-level pollution source, which is not threatening for the time being.

However, because the dead have already appeared, STK raised its threat to E-level, which is an event that will cause a singular number of dead and may spread further.

As for the danger, for a trainee investigator, it still exists...

"Who is the trainee class?" Gao Fan reacted greatly to this position at the time.

"Mr. Painter, you have only dealt with a pollution incident once, so you are currently rated as 'Apprentice'." The operator said.

"I'm dealing with a level C pollution incident!" Gao Fan argued.

"You did not deal with it alone, and your two companions made great sacrifices to complete the handling of this incident." The operator said.

"If what you mean by 'sacrifice' is to transform into a small boss at a critical moment, then my companion is indeed a great 'sacrifice'." Gao Fan laughed at the operator.

If Lin Senhao hadn't changed, Lu Zhi wouldn't have 'died', and the three of them would happily beat the boss and have a hot pot along the way. Doesn't it prove that their team's strength level is obviously higher than that of C-level? So it can be inferred that Gao Fan is at least a C-level investigator? Now it is said that Gao Fan is an "apprentice", and there is a level like FEDCBA above the apprentice, who do you look down on?

At this time, Gao Fan probably didn't remember throwing the STK badge into the trash can.

"Assessing your level is not for comparison and showing off, but for judging the ability to handle incidents. For the safety of you great investigators, we are very cautious. Please forgive me." The operator comforted Gao Fan.

Gao Fan reluctantly accepted this explanation.

"This does not mean that I will accept the task of Bunka Village." Gao Fan emphasized.

"Accept or not is your freedom. STK will only provide you with necessary assistance. Once again, STK is a mutual aid organization. We are not qualified to order you. The investigations you have done and the dangers you have endured are For the safety of the entire human race, it is entirely voluntary."

"Tch, morality can't kidnap me." Gao Fan snorted.

Even so, Gao Fan continued to study the information collected from the police and STK.

All the information proves that Bunka Village is mysterious and dangerous, but not too harmful.

Why it suddenly had a fatal effect on Fang Jianbin is a mystery.

If it is only affecting the other party's meeting, after a period of time, it can be downgraded to an E-level evaluation, so don't worry too much about it.

...

Early the next morning.

Gao Fan, who hadn't slept for a few hours, was woken up by the continuous ringing of the phone.

First, the deputy director from last night said very seriously and anxiously: "Last night, eleven murders were all related to the Bengka mask!"

ah?

Gao Fan had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so he was taken aback for a moment, and then he received the information sent by the deputy director to the mailbox.

He browsed through it hastily, and found that the twelve victims who suddenly appeared last night were different in age, gender, occupation, and way of death. And it was suicide, which even included a police forensic doctor.

There are various ways of suicide, including falling to death, burning carbon in the car, jumping into the river, hanging, cutting the wrist... The girl who cut the wrist was rescued, so the number of victims is '-1', but wearing it on her face But the Bengka mask on the bed could not be removed, and the ancient and unknown language was whispered in the mouth. The strange situation scared the boyfriend who lived with her almost to a mental illness.

In the end, the deputy director pointed out in the report that there are not only these twelve people in Pengcheng who have collapsed card masks, but thousands, or even tens of thousands. If all these tens of thousands of people are in danger of life and all commit suicide, it will be A law and order catastrophe in a turbulent society.

While Gao Fan was frowning at the information, he received another notification from the STK operator.

"Crash card incident, the pollution level has been raised to D!"
