At this time, it is obviously unrealistic to find information about the members of the security team from nearly a hundred years ago.

Although the Intelligence Bureau's intelligence capabilities are strong, they are not so strong as to create something out of nothing.

Unable to determine the next target of the bloody ghost, Wu Senyan decisively chose Yashan Village as the breakthrough point in the case.

Based on information provided by newspapers found by the Secret Service.

Yashan Village is not only the encirclement and suppression site of the security group, but also the base where Xianguan Road has been operating for many years.

If the blood-clothed ghost is indeed related to the Immortal Official Way, Yashan Village is most likely its hiding place.

Without further ado, the two men immediately left the morgue and headed to the urban area where Yashan Village was located. The Special Affairs Bureau also dispatched a field team to the scene as soon as possible to cooperate with the two men's actions.

The car was driving on the main road, heading straight outside Shanqing City.

"Xianguandao was active in the area around Sanqing City seventy years ago. It used remote villages as its base to confuse uneducated mountain people, use superstition to preach, and worship the blood mother, believing that as long as the blood on one's own body is replaced,

If you become a god with the blood of an immortal, you will be able to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal..."

Yan Jing looked at the decades-old newspaper sent by Wu Senyan, curled his lips, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked,

"Seventy years. Assuming that the blood-clothed ghost is really related to the Immortal Official Way, why has the latter been dormant for seventy years, not appearing sooner or later, but just recently."

"Because of the revival of spiritual energy, or the tide of spiritual energy!"

"What did you say?"

Yan Jing was momentarily surprised by the noun that suddenly popped out of Wu Senyan's mouth.

"I know this may sound counterintuitive, but the data collected by the country over the years show that a tidal resurgence of spiritual energy occurs around the world every few hundred years."

Wu Senyan, who was interested in recruiting Yan Jing, had no intention of covering it up. Both of them were Ember Apostles, so many things naturally no longer needed to be kept secret. He explained straightforwardly,

"During the 'high tide' period, the intensity of psychic energy in the environment will increase, and the probability of supernatural events will increase accordingly. Similar events are not uncommon in historical documents, but most of the time they are regarded as myths and legends by us.

."

This was the first time that Yan Jing came into contact with the truth hidden under the calm surface of the world. He chose to remain silent and listen to Wu Senyan's continued story.

"The strength of the spiritual energy tide in modern times has gradually weakened. In many cases, even if supernatural events occur, they cannot last for long. We once thought that modern pollution of the environment caused the decline of spiritual energy, but the appearance of the torch subverted all common sense."

As the captain of the Special Ninth Division, Wu Senyan is already qualified to have access to some things.

According to him, the country has actually always had a department dedicated to monitoring supernatural events, but in the past most of the time it was just monitoring, and there was no need to intervene.

No one expected that this spiritual energy tide would give rise to such a weird existence.

As a result, most researchers believe that the continuous weakening of spiritual energy tides in the past probably has nothing to do with the advancement of technology.

They are brewing for the emergence of the torch!

The crux of the matter lies in this.

Is the existence of the torch itself the product of spiritual energy tides or does it come from extraterrestrial civilization?

If it appears because of the spiritual energy tide.

So is it possible that there were existences similar to torches in the past?

"Compared to the Ember Apostles, the country is actually more concerned about the source of the torch. However, so far, we have not received any relevant clues and can only passively adapt."

Listening to the analysis of various possibilities revealed by Wu Senyan, Yan Jing's understanding of the torch continued to update.

This made him more and more convinced of the need to keep in touch with the authorities.

The two of them talked about the torch and various supernatural events that had happened recently, and the scene outside the car window gradually changed.

The crowded high-rise buildings disappeared and were replaced by large tracts of farmland and sparse private houses.

The name of Shanqing City has "mountain" in it, so it goes without saying much about the surrounding geographical environment.

Wait until the sunshine outside the window is no longer bright.

The sun sets in the west, and only the rolling hills remain on both sides of the road.

Yashan Village is located in a remote mountainous area outside Shanqing City. Originally, the people living there were either lonely elderly people or left-behind children.

Nowadays, most of the elderly have passed away, and children have been taken to villages closer to the city to obtain better living conditions. Information provided by the local government shows that the villages were gradually abandoned a few years ago because they were too remote.

The car drove off the highway and passed through a cement road surrounded by dense forests on both sides. The condition of the road became increasingly worse.

It didn't take long for Yan Jing to notice two particularly conspicuous anti-riot vehicles parked on the roadside ahead. One of them had an antenna on the roof and red and white striped warning lights next to the vehicle. There were several people in full uniform nearby.

Armed soldiers on guard.

Naturally they recognized Wu Senyan's car. As soon as he passed by, a soldier saluted and contacted others through a headset. The back door of one of the anti-riot vehicles opened and a tall and thin young man in combat uniform stepped out, holding a knife in his hand.

Carrying a heavy sniper rifle.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Yan Jing got out of the car behind Wu Senyan. Not surprisingly, it attracted everyone's attention.

"Report to Team Wu, the total number of members of Special Affairs Group A should be fifteen, and there are actually fifteen!"

The young man put his sniper rifle on his back and ran to Wu Senyan to stand at attention and salute. After reporting with a serious expression, he glanced at Yan Jing next to him and continued,

"The deputy captain is surveying the terrain over there and determining the course of action. This is..."

"Zhao Qing, a member of my team, the Ember Apostle, is good at long-distance sniping."

Wu Senyan patted Zhao Qing's shoulder, briefly talked about his characteristics, and then introduced,

"This is Luo Jian, a disciple of the fifth generation of Shangqing Dao. He is also an Ember Apostle and has rich experience in dealing with evil ghosts. He will cooperate with our actions this time and join hands to eliminate the blood-clothed evil ghosts."

The two nodded and said hello.

Now is not the time to exchange feelings. Wu Senyan didn’t waste any time and asked directly,

"How is the situation at the scene?"

"Same as the information given by local villages and towns, Yashan Village has been abandoned for a long time. The roads are in disrepair and it is located in the mountains. Vehicles cannot pass there. We have to go on foot to investigate."

"Change your clothes and get ready for action!"

Wu Senyan motioned to the team members next to him to get his equipment and looked at his watch.

"It is now 4:50 in the afternoon, and there is still about an hour and a half until dark. We have to eliminate the bloody ghost before it attacks again!"

It took a long time to get here from Shanqing City. In order to prevent missing the target, Wu Senyan could only speed up his actions.

The manpower of the Special Affairs Bureau is not sufficient enough to form a large number of field teams based on the Ember Apostles. Even Team A, which Wu Senyan is responsible for, currently only has three people including him. The remaining twelve people are all carefully selected from the army.

Selected elites.
