The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

The forest spirit needs time to regain its strength and clear away the filth left by the cultists.

Vegetation and rocks re-closed the gap outside the temple's underground palace.

Except for Yu Ke, no one else will know the existence of this temple and the underground palace and what happened that night.

The time comes to mid-January 2037.

The weather in the past week has not been very good, even if there is no rain or snow, it is still wet and cloudy.

The sky outside the window was gloomy, and occasionally raindrops fell to the window, leaving a skewed water mark.

The stove in the tower was burning brightly, and the wood made a "beep" sound as it burned. The temperature in the room was always maintained at a comfortable level. Even if you took off your coat and only wore a woolen sweater, you wouldn't feel cold.

Since the thick fog in Jinghu Forest was difficult to disperse, Yu Ke did not go out for morning exercises in the past two days. Instead, he sat at the workbench and sorted out various photos and items obtained from the underground palace, preparing to divide them into two parts.

The wind chime was curled up on the corner of the table and taking a nap, its two tails swung back and forth, and it was holding a big molar rod in its arms.

Put the edited photos and videos on the computer screen into the same folder, Yu Ke picked up the collection and contacted Ye Yingtong.

"Hey, it's me. I recently discovered a ruins in Jinghu Forest. There are some murals and the like inside. I want to know what dynasty they describe. There are also some utensils. Thank you. I will send you the photos and videos later. , and the reward.”

The murals and some discoveries in the underground palace are historical relics. Ye Yingtong is an expert in this field and works at Beijing-Hang University. She must know other historians and professionals in relic research. There is no more suitable candidate than her.

"Reward? No, I won't ask for it. You saved my life. I just helped you check things."

Hearing that Yu Ke actually wanted to pay for this, Ye Yingtong quickly refused.

"Don't be anxious. What I mean is that I may have more things that need your help in the future. Some of them need to be kept confidential. I personally entrusted you to check them. I will send them to you after you read them. "You should be able to understand what I mean. This is a private collaboration between me. Don't let others know about it."

In Yu Ke's view, the grace of saving his life can be regarded as establishing the foundation of mutual trust between the two people, but the kindness will always be exhausted, and he cannot use it to ask for free help every time he finds something.

What's more important is that the temple and underground palace involve forest spirits, and the ruins inside are also related to a treasure that can suppress disasters.

It's not that he doesn't trust Ye Yingtong, but the bundling of interests is more reassuring.

Yu Ke didn't want to send the information today, and tomorrow two TV stations would come to the forest patrol camp to conduct an exclusive interview with him.

Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Yu Ke asked again,

"Is it convenient for you to receive the ruins information now?"

"Wait a moment, I'll change places."

Ye Yingtong was sitting in the cafe next to Beijing-Hangzhou University. When she heard this, she immediately took her laptop and bag and found a corner to avoid other customers.

As a professional who has participated in ruins archeology many times, although Ye Yingtong is still studying with a tutor at school, she has also heard many secrets about the field of ruins exploration from some colleagues with a wide network of private connections.

For example, private consortiums often form their own relic exploration teams and hire relic scientists to accompany them. They pay a generous remuneration and an agreement to ensure that the latter work for them and keep it confidential.

After all, reality is not about making movies. In this era, the things in the ruins have more than just artistic value. After all, it is only a very rare phenomenon to turn it over to the state after discovery. There are many groups among the people who specialize in exploring mysteries.

The emergence of treasure hunters and relic hunters originally served this industry.

Therefore, after Yu Ke mentioned that this was a private collaboration, she immediately realized that the information the former was about to send was anything but ordinary.

Ding~

A new message alert came from the mailbox.

Ye Yingtong opened the email and her eyes widened when she saw several photos of bronze murals.

Even though she was mentally prepared in advance, she was still extremely shocked by the content in these photos and videos.

Suddenly, Ye Yingtong raised her hand to cover her left eye, frowned and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then whispered,

"What are you doing! We have an agreement. Now is not the time for you to come out. Come back quickly!"

If someone opens Ye Yingtong's palm at this time, they will immediately find that the left pupil underneath is glowing with a coquettish red color.

"I know, you don't need to emphasize this matter. I will definitely help Yu Ke entrust me with the matter, even if it has nothing to do with you."

Squeezing her voice, Ye Yingtong seemed to be talking to someone. After the red light in her left eye dissipated, she dialed the phone again.

"I have seen some of the photos and videos. I have never seen anything similar before. I will try to figure out the era they belong to, but it is best to go to the scene and take a look. Okay, I understand, wait for me The news and remuneration can be discussed after the results come out.”

In the archeology of ruins, it is easier to obtain information by going to the site in person. However, Yu Ke seemed not to want others to know the specific location of the ruins, and Ye Yingtong did not ask any more questions.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Goodbye."

Yu Ke also wanted to contact the Disaster Prevention Bureau, hand over another part of the cult-related stuff to them, and prepare to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, will you return to Danhang City soon?"

Thinking of all the strange things that happened to her recently, Ye Yingtong couldn't help but ask.

"I probably won't reply. What's the matter?"

"Well, I just wanted to treat you to a meal. If you're busy, we'll talk about it later."

Putting her restless left hand under her plump ass and pressing it down, Ye Yingtong wanted to speak, but her left eye flashed red again, and she suppressed the words that were about to hit her throat again.

Yu Ke on the other side couldn't see anything strange on Ye Yingtong's side, so he hung up the phone and contacted the Disaster Prevention Bureau instead.

When it comes to things like cultists, cursed bones and dragon masks that are hundreds of years old, Yu Ke alone cannot do an in-depth investigation. He needs official assistance.

Yu Ke did not mention the matter of the temple and the underground palace, because the forest spirit did not trust the official government and made it clear that he only trusted Yu Ke. Therefore, he could not reveal the existence of the former to the official government, otherwise it would be a violation of the contract signed by both parties.

Yu Ke only said that the Shadow Moon Leopard who fought alongside him in the Mirror Lake Forest took these things out from the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest and gave them to him, as if to remind him of something.

In his words, he focused on the possible connection between the dragon mask and the Nightmare organization, as well as the bloody lotus. Yu Ke said that he guessed it was the symbol of a cult organization.

This is where the role of special advisor comes in handy.

Yu Ke's performance in the Pandora incident earned him special attention from the Disaster Prevention Bureau. The video of Yu Ke cooperating with the Shadow Moon Leopard to hunt down the Qishui Monkey King has long spread across the Internet. The Disaster Prevention Bureau provided him with Not only were there no doubts about the clues, but they were taken very seriously.

You must know that the Nightmare organization itself is a criminal group that is currently being closely pursued by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and based on the clues discovered so far, this organization is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface, and there are still ulterior secrets within it.

Not surprisingly, the clues submitted by Yu Ke attracted the great attention of the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

There is no doubt that cult organizations are more destructive to social stability than poachers or criminal organizations. Coincidentally, the core members of the nightmare organization, namely Snake and Sheep, who were recently arrested, behaved in the same way as those of evil cults during interrogation. Believers are somewhat similar.

As a result, the Disaster Prevention Bureau quickly responded and prepared to conduct a more in-depth investigation in this direction. If anything is discovered, Yu Ke will be contacted as soon as possible.

Similarly, Yu Ke also took this opportunity to express his willingness to participate in the hunt for the Nightmare organization.

He wanted to find out whether this criminal organization with a very special organizational structure was the target that the forest spirit asked him to find.

After working for a while, I finally completed the communication with both parties.

All that's left is to wait for news.

Yu Ke sat on the chair, stretched out, and rubbed Feng Chime's belly.

Just when I was thinking about what I should eat in the afternoon, a new work task suddenly popped up in the task log of the Forestry Protection Bureau. I reached out and clicked on it.

‘On a reconnaissance mission, abnormal growth of plants was found deep in the Jinghu Forest (picture attached). Since its shape is somewhat similar to that of the vine jungle, I hope you can set out to investigate as soon as possible. The Forestry Protection Bureau will have botanists following up throughout the process. ’

This is the first time Yu Ke has received a special mission from the Forestry Protection Bureau since the Pandora incident.

Although the sky outside was gloomy and it might rain or snow at any time, Yu Ke didn't find it troublesome, but rather happy.

Because the trip to the temple and underground palace brought his [Forest Hunter] professional experience to nearly 95%, and he was about to upgrade. He now needs this kind of work tasks to make up for the final experience gap.

"Wind Chime, our lunch may have to be eaten on the way."

After transferring the mission information to his watch, Yu Ke woke up the wind chime, drank the juice on the table, stood up and put on his patrol uniform.

The Abyssal Whale combat uniform was seriously damaged in the battle, and it would take time for the Forestry Defense Bureau to re-make it.

Passing by the bed, Yu Ke snapped his fingers.

The fluorescent green light rolled up the black thorn bow and arrows and Leviathan's ax placed beside the bed, and put them inside the mark.

After two days of testing, Yu Ke found that the space inside the imprint is no different from the back compartment of an off-road vehicle. It may not fit anything that is too big, but there is no problem in storing weapons and equipment.
