"...On the 23rd, we came to Dai Town, a beautiful rural town, but it is no longer as peaceful and beautiful as it used to be. It is now like a gorgeous dancer, standing on the stage, waiting One customer after another comes.”

In the small hotel where she was staying, Ren Ziling stopped her fingers on the keyboard, looked at the folder on the screen titled 'Ren Ziling's Book of Bizarre Events', frowned, and quickly deleted the two lines of text.

She drank a cup of hot tea and went to the window, looking out at the thick fog outside the town.

I heard that the thick fog is still spreading, and it is estimated that it will cover this small town in the next few days. At this time, some people in the town were worried, and many people had already taken shelter with their families.

However, there are still some businessmen who stick to the town at this time, because the business opportunities are almost unlimited at this time, travel expenses are several times higher than in the past, and even a bottle of water can be sold for as much as a large scenic spot service object. , naturally all the media came after hearing the news.

Of course, apart from the media, it is unknown whether there are anyone else. However, the local town government has issued a notice that the people here must move away in three days at the latest.

As a reporter who has dreams and doesn't want to be a salty fish, this time after trying to get the job of deputy editor-in-chief from the boss of the newspaper to no avail, he resolutely used his accumulated paid annual leave to win over Riko and Akiko. Guy came to this place. If nothing is found, it may really be a loss.

Ren Ziling rubbed her eyebrows and leaned against the window, just looking at the thick fog like white clouds, pure white, pure white, pure white.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Zi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a pot of boiled hot water in her hand, and complained: "Sister Ren, the owner of this hotel is so shady, and you have to charge for tap water! "

"There is nothing we can do about this." Ren Ziling shook her head, "We arrived late, so it's good to have a place to stay... Where is Akiko?"

Lizi sat on the edge of the old single bed, "She said to go outside and see if she could find out anything."

At this time, the old bed made a squeaking sound of wood rubbing together, and Li Zi's stomach also made a growling sound. Her rations had been eaten up on the way, and there was no time to replenish them along the way.

To make matters worse, the unscrupulous deputy editor Ren used the banner of reimbursement to exploit Lizi's savings crazily and unjustly.

Ren Ziling sat down again, pretending that she didn't hear the cooing sound, and said nonchalantly: "It's really positive."

In fact, she didn't think about taking Akiko out at first, but when Akiko overheard her discussing this matter with Riko, she showed great interest and proactively offered to go with her. requirements.

Although deputy editor-in-chief Ren lives a very risky life, he is unexpectedly a guy who likes to support newcomers. After proposing to pay for the expenses himself, he happily brought this newcomer to the newspaper with him.

"Perhaps you have found your consciousness as a reporter?" Lizi lay on the bed, with her big letters open, staring blankly at the ceiling... She was so hungry...

Suddenly, Li Zi seemed to smell something. She sat up and said with bright eyes: "Sister Ren, what are you eating? It smells so good!"

I saw Ren Ziling pinching a wax pill in her hand, then swallowing the contents into her mouth and drinking water.

"Wuji Baifeng Pills." Ren Ziling casually threw the crushed wax pills into the trash can, "The courier I received before was sent to me by that brat Luo Qiu. If you talk about New Year's gifts, I won't come back in the New Year. ...Oh my god! I was given this during the Chinese New Year, and I always feel like I’ve aged twenty years instantly! If I didn’t feel so much better after eating it, I wouldn’t eat it!”

"Speaking of which, Sister Ren, has your skin gotten much better recently?" Lizi looked up and down at Ren Ziling, "Do you feel younger? Do you still have this Baifeng Pill? I often use it?"

"Go, go!" Ren Ziling moved her palms towards the pears, "I've finished the last one, do you want the wax pill?"

"Stingy..." Lizi lay back on the bed pitifully, like a caterpillar.

Ren Ziling, who always felt that pears were not like human beings, shook her head and started to put on her boots... Even a newcomer was working hard to dig out news, so she couldn't lag behind!

"Lizi, let's go out and get some news... Lizi! What are you eating?"

"It smells so good, strawberry flavor..."

I saw that Pear was biting a pink rubber ring with a film in her mouth and started chewing it.

Ren Ziling suddenly trembled and rushed in front of Lizi, "Lizi, wake up! Can't you eat this thing with the top of your mouth!!"

As she said that, Ren Ziling tugged on the pink rubber ring with a thin film, trying to take it out of Lizi's mouth. However, the elasticity of this thing was too good. The two of them pulled and stretched it by more than ten centimeters. .

"Pear, be good, give it to me!!" Ren Ziling said loudly!

"I don't care...let me chew it a few times!"

"Give it to me!!"

The pulling continued.

At this time, the door was pushed open excitedly, and at the same time, a voice sounded, speaking in unskilled Chinese with an island accent, "Sister Ren, I found someone who can be interviewed...えっ?" "

Akiko blinked her eyes. Ren Ziling watched Akiko blink her eyes and she also blinked subconsciously. Her hands suddenly let go, and the circles of the pink rubber film shrank violently and bounced back. On to Li Zi's nose.

She screamed in pain, "I don't use my nose to eat..."

"Wait a minute, Akiko..." Ren Ziling opened her mouth.

"I...I'll wait for you outside!"

Akiko quickly closed the door, and then the sound of stomping downstairs was heard.

Ren Ziling froze for a moment, then sat down. She sadly took out a pack of women's cigarettes, lit them, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke. Following the glass window, the smoke seemed to merge with the thick fog outside the town.

So deputy editor Ren said softly: "Fuck..."

…

…

Deeply trapped in the dense fog area, Yan Xiaoxi almost lost communication with the outside world. Although the support manpower could come on foot, the efficiency was too slow.

Due to the inability to use all electronic equipment, even the research work on Yulongzhu could not help but be temporarily suspended... Information can only be transmitted back and forth through manpower, which greatly restricted the actions of the management team.

And under such restrictions, the third, fourth, and fifth jade dragon pillars have quietly appeared.

Fortunately, the appearance of the five Jade Dragon Pillars has allowed Mr. Blind to successfully calculate the possible location of the sixth Jade Dragon Pillar.

At this time, Wolong Villa has released thunder through Taoism, and temporarily transformed it into electricity to maintain daily infrastructure.

Since the last battle on the hillside, the remaining Dao Yao and Dao demons' manpower and enthusiasm for action have not been so high. At this time, the number of people who came to the conference room was less than half of the previous ones.

Those people from both the Taoist and Demonic sides who questioned the situation did not leave Wolong Villa, but there was also a tendency of not working hard enough.

Sumubai and Zixing attended every meeting.

"After our calculations, the sixth Jade Dragon Pillar may appear in these three places."

At this time, Yan Xiaoxi came to the place marked on the map and passed the place calculated by Mr. Blind. He looked at these three places, but Zixing couldn't help but frowned, "Chief Yan Xiaoxi, how did you calculate these locations? "

"The Administration also has talents who are proficient in formations and calculations. We used a large number of computers to calculate outside the thick fog and came up with these three locations." Yan Xiaoxi said calmly at this time.

"Chief Yan." Zixing was silent for a moment and then said: "Let's not worry about the intentions of Tianxin Seventy-One... Shouldn't we be more honest?"

Yan Xiaoxi frowned, "What does Young Master Zixing mean?"

Zixing said in a deep voice at this time: "I heard that Wolong Villa was attacked by a sneak attack some time ago... But the attackers were wearing black clothes and had bronze masks on their faces. There were three in total, and two of them were killed. Is it true?"

"It's true." Yan Xiaoxi said expressionlessly.

Zixing added at this time: "In fact, the two so-called sneak attackers who were killed actually committed suicide. Is it true?"

"true."

Zixing's eyes narrowed at this time, "And these two dead soldiers who committed suicide were among the group of Dao demons who opposed you and left that day. Is it true?"

"true."

"Why has Section Chief Yan been hiding this matter?" Zixing said in a slightly cold voice at this time: "If our clan didn't still have some resources, Section Chief Yan would have planned to keep it a secret at this time, right?"

"In order to avoid unnecessary panic, I gave the order to keep this matter secret." Yan Xiaoxi looked directly at Zixing, and then looked at Taoist Su Mubai, "You two, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. I I don’t know what the consequences will be after this news gets out, so the best way at the moment is to hide it.”

"Yan Xiaoxi." Zixing said in a deep voice: "I stay here purely for the sake of the 'agreement', but I am not the one you want to coax with your sweet words... Perhaps your administration has asked yourself about those advanced technologies it possesses. After having weapons, ask yourself that you can handle all this without any support from all parties."

"You two, the top priority is not to quarrel, but to stop this matter as soon as possible." Su Mubai said quickly at this time: "This thick fog has been extending, no one knows how much area it will cover. I believe that outside Now there is a mess, and I am afraid that no matter how hard the country exerts its efforts, it will be difficult to cover up this matter. So, Section Chief Yan, I think Young Master Zixing is right... It’s not that we are uncooperative, it’s just that I hope you can get the most basic respect."

Yan Xiaoxi took a deep breath and said after a while: "I suspect that among the Dao demons, there may be many who have followed Tianxin for seventy-one generations."

Zixing and Sumubai looked at each other.

Zixing frowned and said, "But when we were captured in the fake cave?"

Yan Xiaoxi said: "I'm afraid, including the two of them, many of the Dao demons who were captured were 'voluntary' themselves. This can well explain why Tianxin's seventy-first generation Being able to capture so many Dao demons indifferently is just based on the current intelligence, and the inferred conclusion may not be accurate. But if it is accurate..."

"But if it is accurate, we don't even know how many people in Wolong Villa are... our own." Su Mubai continued, and then smiled bitterly, "Under this situation, it is even possible that even The people around me are actually doing it too...this is indeed a very bad situation.”

Su Mubai looked at Zixing, and his meaning was very clear... You, Young Master Zixing, may also be from Tianxin's 71st generation.

There was silence in the conference room.

After a long time, Zixing sighed and whispered: "Can we win this battle?"

Yan Xiaoxi was about to speak, but at this moment, a person from the administration hurriedly walked in. The man looked full, but there was surprise in his eyes, "Section Chief, we have received a communication from Captain Ling Feng. !”

Yan Xiaoxi, Su Mubai, and Zixing stood up in an instant!

…

…

The place where it appeared was near Dai Town.

What appeared was a group of agents from the administration led by Captain Ling Feng, as well as Cang Jinshui and Qu Xinghe due to communication difficulties. When the news reached Yan Xiaoxi, it was already more than half a day later.

Then, it took nearly half a day for Yan Xiaoxi and his party to set off from Wolong Villa and arrive at Dai Town, where they met up with Captain Ling Feng and his party who came out of the Penglai Treasure House.

They have been missing for nearly half a month. During this half month, the outside world has been turbulent. Their return at this time really cheered everyone up. Especially, Cang Jinshui and Qu Xinghe from the Four Spirits of the Demon Clan also returned this time.

"That's it."

That night, when everyone gathered together, Captain Ling Feng pointed to a certain area in the open space behind the granary, "This is where we came out. However, when all of us left, the passage disappeared. However, Bai President Jie seems to be still working hard, and it is very likely that some of our people will come out of here next... Of course, this is just my speculation."

Dr. Zhao, who came with the team, quickly asked people to place various instruments and formed a circle around the place pointed by Captain Ling Feng.

Captain Lingfeng, Cang Jinshui and others also wanted to talk about what they had experienced in Penglai Treasure House and the terrifying things about Gaia.

The story of the wild and night stories made Yan Xiaoxi and others who came over feel chills on their backs. When there is such a place in this world, with the power to destroy almost all the elites of the Taoist and Demonic Associations in an instant... Its level of despair seems to be much more terrifying than its current opponent, Tianxin Seventy-One Generation.

"What's this?"

Unlike Yan Xiaoxi and others who were unable to digest this shocking news, Dr. Zhao looked curiously at what an agent was holding.

"This is what was taken out of it, and there are some others over there."

As he spoke, the agent waved a short metal stick in his hand.

The metal rod shot out a beam of light in an instant. The team member used the beam to hit the big stone next to it, and the big stone was cut in half in an instant.

Dr. Zhao pushed up his glasses at this time and said, "Let me take a look at this thing..."
