Gao Yi kept the story short and gave a general account of the situation of Liang Hua Ecological Farm.
Xiao Di came to his senses completely and couldn't help but worry: "The Executive Directorate is not interested in us now. If this happens, there is a high probability that we will be rejected."
This is true. If you think about it carefully, if you are a veteran cadre and suddenly receive a phone call in the middle of the night from a "thorny" person who usually does not follow the routine, asking you for some information that is obviously out of bounds, you
Will you give it?
Although Gao Yi was confident that the other party would submit obediently, it was obviously not the time now. He could not stand at the scene of the crime and talk on the phone for most of the day. Time was running out.
Gao Yi must return to the dormitory before dawn.
"In this case..."
Soon, Gao Yi thought of another candidate and said to Xiao Di on the other end of the phone: "Contact the collector. The appreciation association and the authorities have been in the honeymoon period. I think he should know more or less about Zishan."
Some."
"clear."
Xiaodi responded, and Gao Yi's communication was interrupted and then connected again. The entire signal was "encrypted" through the siren head and transmitted to the other side of the East China Sea.
In the villa, the collector was in a daze and vaguely heard his phone ringing. He got up sleepily and looked at it: "Huh?"
"Hello……"
"Hello, old friend."
Gao Yi's voice sounded as skillful as a sales pitch.
"Is it you?"
The collector was no longer sleepy immediately, thinking that Gao Yi had discovered some sort of flaw in Paradise Lost, and was a little excited.
But after asking, he found out that this guy came to check the encyclopedia.
"You stayed up late at night, and you didn't hesitate to disturb me, an elderly person who has a very bad sleep. Now you tell me just to ask questions?"
The collector was almost pissed to death.
"Don't think so, old friend."
Gao Yi kept the story short and got straight to the point: "I have been in Zishan City these days and heard that a large number of livestock died abnormally in Lianghua Ecological Farm. I suspect that this is related to something in Zishan.
"How much do you know about Zishan?"
He didn't say anything about what happened tonight. As a rule of thumb, it was best not to reveal his itinerary proactively.
"You went to Zishan City? Lianghua Ecological Farm? Zishan... Zishan..."
On the other end of the phone, the collector muttered to himself, chewing on a few words, and his face suddenly changed slightly: "What is in the Purple Mountain...I don't know."
Gao Yi walked out of the shack and looked at the dark mountains in the distance. He only heard the collector's old voice, which continued to ring on the phone.
"But at the beginning of the last century, a big event happened in Zishan..."
"It was in the 1970s that the official and the executive bureau cooperated to form a purple mountain scientific expedition team. They would start from Yinlongkou, cross the Rixi River, climb all the way over the mountains, and then reach the central Tiantian
The Zhushan system will last for several weeks..."
"Just when everyone thought that this scientific expedition would end smoothly...the reality gave them the most cold and heartless result."
"A few weeks later, the scientific expedition team, which was supposed to report its itinerary at noon every day, lost contact forever on a certain day in May."
"There was no response, no clues. They seemed to have disappeared from the world, and were swallowed up by the mountains silently. Not even a trace was left."
The collector got a little tired talking, so he stood up, poured a glass of warm water, moistened his throat, and continued: "Later, the Executive Directorate sent additional rescuers, but nothing was found."
"Due to the special magnetic field, many unmanned aerial vehicles are unable to enter Zishan, so we decided to let the tribunal personally lead the team and search along this old road again."
"Until July, when the weather turned hotter, when they came out of Zishan again, I don't know if they got anything. But from now on, the Executive Directorate and the officials have no idea of exploring Zishan."
"They seemed to have set an invisible boundary, and even today, no one dares to cross it."
"Mr. Gao, do you still remember the ancient times I once talked about with you?"
The collector changed the subject and brought up old things again: "Do you know what kind of place Zishan was in the eyes of the ancients?"
Gao Yi's face was extremely cautious at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Please speak."
"That is where the gods live, connecting the heaven and the earth... I know that this statement, which is like a fantasy novel, sounds a bit absurd, but the ancients always did not hesitate to modify the unknown things."
"Then let me change another word."
"'Unknowable Land'."
"Or, it's called the restricted area of life."
"Just like the unsolved mysteries we saw when we were children, there are always knots in this world that we can never untie in our lifetime."
"At the end of the world where no bird can fly, on the promontory where no fish can swim, and under the darkness where even the mind cannot reach, there are forbidden areas of life that no one has ever set foot on."
"From the beginning to the end, no one knew what was inside, but we just didn't dare to step in. Because what it contains are bloody admonitions."
"Purple Mountain, after that incident, no, it should be said that it was countless years ago, it was one of the 'unknown places', located inland."
After listening to the collector's long story, Gao Yi no longer looked down upon the mountains in front of him.
"But didn't you say that? The Executive Directorate has set a limit, and no one dares to cross it. I think Lianghua Ecological Farm is still quite far away from the outskirts of Zishan. How could it happen now..."
"This is also the strange thing about me."
The collector continued: "It stands to reason that after so many years of peace and harmony, the validity of the boundary can be determined, but why did something like this suddenly happen at this time?"
"besides."
Gao Yi added: "You said that the rescue team found nothing in the early stage, which shows that the disappearance of the scientific expedition team is complete. However, what happened now in Lianghua Ecological Farm is an obvious massacre."
"There is no connection between the two."
At this point in the conversation, the collector was a little tired: "So, what do you want to do? Do you want me to read the classics another day and help you verify the relationship between the two? This is not free."
Gao Yi decisively refused: "It's not necessary yet."
He hung up the phone, took a few steps forward, looked at the marks as deep as the soles of his feet on the ground, and analyzed them secretly.
"The suspected sole of the foot is not small, but it left such a deep footprint. This can only show that the other party's amazing weight, through such a contact area, can actually compress the soft soil so obviously..."
Gao Yi raised his head, slowly stood up from his half-crouch, looked at the traces that stretched all the way, and followed them.
Whether there is really any connection between the past and the present can be judged through witnessing.
