Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 56: The arrival of the torch
At this time, night had fallen, but large searchlights illuminated the area around the cemetery.
Beams of light converge, and people and cars come and go.
The very center is where the gray fog emerges.
"Compared to when it was first discovered, the area covered by the gray fog has expanded more than ten times, but both objects and people can pass through the gray fog without any obstacles, and it still seems like a mirage."
Outside the cemetery, in a large tent of the temporary camp, Director Zhou and several cadres from the Baiyun Prefecture Bureau and the General Administration were holding a meeting.
Due to the Pura Kingdom incident, the entire town was devastated and filled with evil spirits, making it difficult to obtain any valuable intelligence.
But in the Sakura Country, the General Administration used some means and paid some price to obtain some information about the Gate of Hell from the exorcists who escaped that day and survived.
There are also two gates to hell in the country, and investigators have gone there to investigate.
All this information is gathered together, sorted and delivered here.
"There is two good news. One is that the gate to hell is not open permanently. We can even say that the gate to hell is not open for long. It can be as short as half an hour or as long as an hour or an hour and a half."
"So as long as we can resist the evil that has emerged during this period, we will definitely be able to achieve victory."
Zhou Judao,
"The second good news is that due to the influence of the gray fog or the special nature of the Hell Gate itself, the evil spirits that emerged are not completely invisible and can be observed by us."
"Of course, along with this, the influence of evil on reason will be even greater."
There are advantages and disadvantages.
Compared with slightly increasing the influence on rationality, it is easier and more relaxed to fight against the evil, which is generally beneficial to the battle situation and has great advantages.
"But the bad news is that even if it is only opened for half an hour or an hour, the number of evil spirits that will emerge will be enough to break through the defenses of the Sakura Kingdom and turn a small city in the Boro Kingdom into a dead city."
Reason was affected, panic spread, and the evil became more active after killing people...all these things caused the disaster of the country of Bharata.
It is also related to the fact that Guixie can see.
Visible evil spirits are easier for investigators to deal with. However, for ordinary people who are already unable to deal with evil spirits, being able to see them will only make them target the evil spirits and cause them to lose their sanity faster.
So we have to stop it.
Such a disaster will never happen again in their Donghuang country!
"Now let me tell you about the specific situation in Sakura Country that day."
"The Sakura Kingdom Hell Gate lasted for 58 minutes. It's hard to know the exact number of evil spirits that emerged, but it was at least thousands, or even more."
"And the Sakura Nation cannot match us in terms of equipment, but they also have some special killer weapons, such as the 'gods' that are cultivated by worshipping in shrines."
This is the most powerful method of the Sakura Country. Director Zhou is not clear about the secret, but he guesses that these "gods" may be related to evil and strange things.
The Sakura Country worships these "gods" and offers sacrifices of their souls and lives in exchange for the opportunity for these gods to take action.
In the defense of the Hell's Gate that day, the Sakura Kingdom invited three "gods".
"It is understood that any of these gods can kill the evil 'Snake Mother' that we encountered before in Baijiang, but the result was that three 'gods' died and two escaped."
This information put Director Zhou and several other cadres under great pressure.
Fortunately, they also have a trump card, the latest research results of the General Administration - technological talismans and metaphysical grenades.
Director Zhou and others discussed tactics.
The investigators took the time to make up for the missed lessons, including some courses on strange and evil intelligence.
The rest is patrolling when it’s time to patrol, and resting when it’s time to rest.
A night passed.
The evil did not emerge, but the gray fog in the cemetery spread a little more and floated slightly.
Director Zhou looked out from afar and said, "The information provided by Xinhuo is very likely accurate. How long do we have?"
"Between two and a half and three and a half hours."
"Um……"
"I think the people from that organization, Xinhuo, will be here soon."
…
Baijiang City, DC District, An Jianyou’s home.
The hole in the ceiling had not been repaired yet. A girl with a little baby fat on her face stood on tiptoe and looked at it, puzzled.
"Youyou, how did you make such a big hole?"
"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to make such a big hole."
The chubby girl looked at the hole, then looked at An Jianyou. Could it be that...
"Eat your chips."
An Jianyou grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into the girl's mouth, making her mouth bulge and make a "wuwuwu" sound.
She asked, "Are all schools really closed?"
"Yeah." The girl with baby fat nodded.
An Jianyou was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was normal.
When she asked for a long vacation, some of her classmates had already asked for leave. After all, before she learned the news that the world was going to fall, there were rumors of people jumping off buildings, jumping into lakes, etc. in the school, which was very ominous.
She knew it must be related to evil.
After catching Xiao Hei No. 1 and No. 2, An Jianyou secretly returned to school and visited those "legendary places".
There had indeed been some strange and evil things, but they might have been dealt with by seniors in the Investigation Bureau or the organization, so she didn't see it.
After taking a look around, she discovered a new evil spirit, and she was busy getting rid of it, otherwise someone might die in a few days.
This world is too dangerous. It’s good that classes are suspended, otherwise Ning Ying would still go to classes every day and always like to go to some corners and alleys to look for delicious food.
It didn't matter before but now...
This world is too dangerous!
An Jianyou has a headache.
I can’t talk about the strange evil things. There’s no point in talking about them. But if a girl like Ning Ying runs into a strange evil when she goes out, she’ll almost certainly die... It’s not impossible to run into a strange evil even if she hides at home.
I can't always take her with me.
In a world like this, you can never be considered safe if you don't have the ability to deal with evil .
Unless they can enter the organization, but their Xinhuo is an organization that saves the world from collapse, so the recruitment must be very strict. According to the instructor, only special people are recruited, and Ning Ying...
Apart from being able to eat without gaining weight, there was nothing special about An Jianyou. He wondered if the organization would recruit people for logistics, but even if he could only be a handyman, it would be safer with the organization's protection.
An Jianyou thought about it, turned on the TV, and put the game controller into Ning Ying's hand.
"Play games by yourself for a while. I'm going to go out and I'll be back soon. Don't go anywhere, dear~"
Ning Ying: “(＊⊙～⊙)”
While she had a dazed look on her face, An Jianyou was already ready. She touched the Ghost Soul Banner on her body, patted her cheeks, and took a deep breath.
After a while, he drove out of the community.
…
In the cemetery area, the atmosphere became increasingly serious.
Director Zhou looked at his watch for the thirteenth time. "Has the Xinhuo people not arrived yet?"
"Not yet. According to the time Xinhuo provided, it will take at least fifteen minutes to open, and at most more than an hour."
But you can't come at a late hour!
He's also afraid of being stood up! How about having someone make a phone call and ask?
"Director Zhou, Director Zhou, Miss An is here!"
"good!"
Director Zhou was excited, but soon pretended to be calm again, "Please ask her to go to the camp to rest and prepare for the battle."
Since An Jianyou has arrived, I guess the black-clad swordsman will also be here.
Two strong reinforcements.
Of course, their own investigators are not bad either. Today, they will show the style of their investigation bureau, unlike that day!
It would be better if we didn't need reinforcements.
Well, but, besides Miss An and the black-clad swordsman, will there be other awakened people present at Xinhuo?
Director Zhou thought.
No other meaning, just pure curiosity.
At this time, the entire southern suburbs were blocked, and this incident caused quite a stir throughout Baijiang City and the entire Donghuang country.
But overall it is still stable.
In this blockade, a figure walked straight in without encountering any obstruction. He seemed to be non-existent, or just an ordinary staff member of the Investigation Bureau.
Fang You drove in "no light" mode, followed the guidance , and came to a high hilltop.
Standing here, he could clearly see the gray fog in the distance and a considerable number of investigators.
"Thirty-seven minutes left."
He took another look at the game interface and saw that Brother Black Knife was taking a rest and could be deployed at any time.
All the Xinhuo members are here.
