Chapter 165 Deep Pit

 When Xia Chengyin walked in, he saw his colleagues who were always on guard with guns.

"Qi Zhuyue?" the short-haired police officer shouted, "Are you here?"

Xia Chengyin looked around the main hall and saw no one else except "bodies" lying on the ground.

Maybe not a human being.

The short-haired police officer clenched his fists and assumed a posture ready to punch at any time.

Qi Zhuyue turned around when she heard the shouting, her eyes lit up: "Senior Xia!"

She also saw Xia Chengyin's fighting posture, and quickly stood up and explained: "I saw a white shadow in front of me, but it seemed to be my illusion."

"What you see at a supernatural scene is not necessarily an illusion."

After hearing the explanation, Xia Chengyin still cautiously looked around the location pointed by Qi Zhuyue.

It is true that there is no other existence, but Xia Chengyin still retains his own opinion.

He walked back to Qi Zhuyue and looked at the two men lying at her feet. When his eyes fell on one of them, he showed an indescribable expression.

To put it simply, it is a mixture of "why is it you again" and "I knew there was something wrong with you".

Xia Chengyin lowered his eyes and looked at the black-haired young man lying on his side.

The young man in a comatose state looks very quiet. He has black hair and white skin. The cold white skin is the type that girls like nowadays, and his wrinkled and raised hair is stuck to his face.

He looked very obedient, but Xia Chengyin knew that as long as the other person opened his eyes, the silent darkness would arouse his desire to explore.

After staring at the black-haired young man for a while, Xia Chengyin shifted his gaze to the other person when he saw Qi Zhuyue looking hesitant to speak.

"An... An Xiangwen, right?" He didn't call out the other party's name for a while. This person was not ranked very high in Xia Chengyin's watch list.

It's entirely because Bai Su has been paid attention to.

Xia Chengyin waved his hand and asked local colleagues to take the person away and send him to the hospital.

Although he really wanted to take custody of the person himself, he had other things to do at the moment.

"Hey, aren't you going to follow?" Qi Zhuyue saw the person being taken away on a stretcher, while Xia Chengyin remained where he was, "Senior Xia?"

"Go and take a look at the place you care about." Xia Chengyin watched people leave the entrance of the hall, withdrew his gaze and raised his chin, "You have been looking in a certain direction."

Not surprisingly, her senior saw what she was thinking. Qi Zhuyue was stunned for a moment and responded: "I want to go to the back mountain to see." She didn't go away because she wanted to help Xia Chengyin keep an eye on the people in front of her.

Two members of the special department who were not directly under the local jurisdiction managed to escape. They climbed out of the completely collapsed side wall.

There is no need to go through the door, there are doors everywhere in the building without a ceiling.

On the way to Houshan, Qi Zhuyue took the opportunity to talk about her experiences on the trip.

For example, a hotel where the detection equipment keeps beeping.

Xia Chengyin: "I know this. As soon as I arrived in town, I wanted to find a hotel, but I couldn't find one. The hotel has big problems."

Qi Zhuyue: "Hey, can't you find it? I remember it was Miss Wang who booked the room. Do you want to ask her later?"

Xia Chengyin: "I have this plan."

Another example is the unusual tiredness when climbing a mountain and the hallucination when seeing a banyan tree.

Xia Chengyin: "We know the mountains, but the banyan trees...?"

Qi Zhuyue: "As for the very tall banyan tree in the temple, didn't you see it, Senior Xia? The viewing angle is not good from the main hall, so I didn't go over to take a look."

"No." Xia Chengyin stopped and frowned, "Is it in a courtyard wall that covers a large area?"

Qi Zhuyue nodded.

Her reaction immediately made Xia Chengyin take out a cigarette from his pocket, light it and put it into his mouth.

The short-haired police officer took a deep breath, then blew out the smoke ring and said slowly: "The banyan tree is gone."

Qi Zhuyue was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"There is no huge banyan tree like you mentioned in Fuzhao Temple, only a deep pit."

Now it seems that the banyan tree has completely disappeared.

It disappeared together with the root system buried deep in the ground.

……

Due to differences in information, the two went to the pit to have a look.

The location is indeed in the courtyard where the banyan tree used to be. Except for the fact that half of the fence is missing, the more eye-catching thing is the hole in the ground.

At first glance, it looks like a semicircular crater with a depth of several meters. Standing closer, you can see irregular long strips around the semicircle... tooth marks?

Qi Zhuyue unknowingly stretched her head down, testing the edge of falling, and was finally grabbed by Xia Chengyin's arm.

"What did you see?"

Xia Chengyin knew that his companions often saw scenes that ordinary people couldn't see. At this moment, he stumbled forward in a daze, probably because he was in trouble.

The black-haired girl who was pulled back looked confused. After a few minutes, her pupils gradually became focused.

Qi Zhuyue thanked her in a low voice and covered her face, hiding it in the darkness between her palms.

"I saw a sliver of white."

"The white cloud-like thing with many eyeballs swallowed up the entire banyan tree."

"A little bit...all...everything was eaten to pieces."

The black-haired girl's voice was trembling. Xia Chengyin thought she had finished speaking. A few seconds later, her voice sounded again: "I think what I just saw looks familiar."

Because of the familiar sense of sight, Qi Zhuyue kept thinking about where she had seen that scene before as she continued walking to the back mountain.

She searched carefully for past memories and recent things she had seen and heard, but found nothing.

The black-haired girl was a little crazy, feeling like she was just one step away, but there was always a veil in her mind, and she just couldn't find the answer.

Xia Chengyin suggested that the other party find the answer but did not suggest it. On the one hand, he wanted to know where he had seen it, and on the other hand, he was afraid that his companion would lose his mind.

Qi Zhuyue: "It's okay. It will be better if I have a longer brain. I hope to go back and ask the team to approve my leave and let me go to a nursing home to rest... Ahhhhhh, where did I see it!"

I rubbed my hair into a mess and still didn't get an answer. Instead, the back mountain arrived first.

The roads in the temple have also become bumpy, mostly filled with debris from buildings, which can easily be moved away by Xia Chengyin.

The five-story tower...the top of the tower was lifted, as if it had been torn open by hand, and it was bent from about the second floor and pulled to one side.

"It's quite spectacular, in terms of shape." Qi Zhuyue commented, "It turns out that this is a five-story tower, and the hall for eating vegetarian meals is inside."

After a pause, Qi Zhuyue whispered: "There should be something wrong with that rice, but the tower is ruined like this, so there shouldn't be any clues, right?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Chengyin continued, "But before that, there is a more important question."

The short-haired police officer stood on the edge of a steep cliff, facing the broken mountain steps.

Xia Chengyin asked: "Can you go down by yourself?"

Qi Zhuyue replied dryly: "...Obviously not, Senior Xia, I can barely pass the test physically."

The expected answer, Xia Chengyin thought.

There is no one around here, and local colleagues are still moving the unconscious monks in front.

There are no ropes or anything like that, so rubbing is too troublesome.

The short-haired police officer, who had a little sense of gentlemanly spirit but definitely not much, just said "I'm offended", and then lifted the woman next to him - like a sack.

Qi Zhuyue covered her face weakly, and soon she covered her mouth instead.

Xia Chengyin's way of walking down the cliff is also simple and crude. He jumps from a high altitude, digs his fingers into the cliff wall and jams half of his hand in, and then repeats the above steps.

When ordinary people do this, their palms will be dripping with blood, but when Xia Chengyin fell to the platform below, he pulled out his hand, leaving several holes in the mountain wall, but his hand was unscathed, only stained with stone chips.

"Okay." The short-haired policeman chewed on his cigarette and put his companion down, "Where should we go first?"
