The door opened with a click, and the clerk hurried in holding a stack of documents. As usual, he handed them all over to Director Song, but he was surprised to find out.
Everyone in the conference room was huddled in a corner, watching intently around a computer screen.
"director?"
"director?"
The clerk called twice tentatively, but when no one responded, he walked over: "Director, I have all the information you want..."
Before he finished speaking, the information was quickly taken over. Before he turned around and sat down, he didn't forget to say thank you.
"The people we have to deal with are really a bunch of weird guys..."
"alright."
Everyone is like a machine with an orderly division of labor, sorting the stacks of documents into their own places: "Based on the inventory of all the souls that have returned to the world, and the inventory of the location by the 'spiritual vision' technicians, we can basically determine..."
The person in charge of the first team who was previously responsible for the investigation said: "The place where these souls appeared is located underground at Donghai International Airport."
"Everyone, please take a look."
He spread out a route map and moved his fingertips on it: "These are the high-speed rail route maps of the East China Sea. We must first figure out which step caused the problems and caused them to appear."
"This matter is obviously inseparable from the railway system."
Director Song explained on the side: "This is also the reason why I brought in the archives. We all worked together to solve it as much as possible before the jury focused its attention on it."
Although he also understood that the possibility of an immediate solution was almost zero, being able to push the incident to a crucial step on his own before being noticed by his superiors was also a symbol of ability.
Now, just do your best.
"Director, found the clue!"
Soon, someone found relevant clues and displayed a pile of information: "On April 20 last year, there was a railway maintenance staff who performed maintenance on the 316 line as usual. However, before the road ban time limit, he
He has not appeared for a long time. He has been deemed to have disappeared for unknown reasons.”
"What's next?"
asked the colleague next to him.
The man shook his head: "No, according to HS standards, this incident was shelved indefinitely after a brief investigation. To this day, the local authorities have not made a final conclusion."
"The investigation report said that after ruling out the possibility of the 'hidden spirit' phenomenon caused by the unexplored wandering world, my God, what is this wandering world..."
Director Song made a decisive decision: "Xiao Tang, immediately contact the scholars and consultants on the inner world of the East China Sea."
"clear."
Technician Xiao Tang worked for a while, and the computer quickly connected to a video screen. In the screen, the old man looked to be in his sixties. He looked a little sick and coughed from time to time.
However, the people in charge of this "junior" present did not dare to show any slightness and asked questions respectfully.
"Wandering in the other world?"
The old scholar squinted his eyes slightly, looking a little slow in thinking, and finally seemed to remember something: "About nineteen years ago, as an accompanying consultant, I encountered this phenomenon in Yorkshire."
"At that time, a group of children were playing in the farmland, but a gust of wind blew, and I only saw a huge unknown object that seemed to shuttle under the layer of reality, passing by like a big bag. When everyone came back to their senses
By then, the children had disappeared.”
The old scholar was like an old-fashioned machine, starting slowly but gradually getting better, and his words gradually became clear: "Usually, the other world exists in a fixed way, but there are also extremely rare exceptions, that is, wandering the other world.
pocket)."
"It will never stop, at least this is the case for several wandering worlds under observation in the world...
"Along the way, we take in people and things that meet the standards in our own unique way. Compared to the other world, we prefer to call it a pocket, which is also the origin of its name..."
Director Song walked to the other end and said to himself: "So, is there a possibility that this is a pocket route that has not been discovered yet? It is filled with the souls of the dead, going from one side to the other, in a cycle.
?”
"Director, your guess may be false."
A subordinate shook his head and said: "The 316 line belongs to Zishan City. It has nothing to do with our Donghai eight poles. What can we do..."
In the middle of his words, he suddenly felt as if his throat was being strangled. He pointed at the high-speed railway station in horror and was speechless.
"What's wrong?"
Director Song noticed something was wrong and walked over quickly, seeing the graffiti line left by the man's finger on the high-speed rail map.
A section of the 316 line.
High-speed rail link to Donghai International Airport.
In an almost identical column!
This means...
"Maybe there is a pocket that wanders between the Purple Mountain and the East China Sea?"
Director Song was shocked when he said this, but what was even more shocking was yet to come.
As if hearing their discussion off-screen, the old scholar in the video reminded: "If you find the line of the pocket, you might as well be more bold and extend this line as much as possible to see where it might lead...
…The trajectory of the pocket is much further than you think.”
Director Song's fingers continued to slide on the circuit diagram.
316 line...
Trinity line...
Purple Mountain...
"Purple Mountain!"
He felt like he had discovered a secret that shocked the whole world, and he said in disbelief: "The... heartland of Zishan?! How is this possible?"
Director Song originally wanted to trace the origin of the soul, but he never expected that he would focus on Zishan itself.
As a leader, he also knows the true face of Zishan. How can the forbidden land that once made even the tribunals fail to get involved with the resurrection of the dead in the East China Sea?
On the other hand, when he learned that the route of the pocket was most likely related to the Purple Mountain Center, the old scholar was also shocked. After a long while, he tremblingly said: "By the way, did you just say that the soul of the deceased returns to reality?"
The people in front of the screen looked at each other, but they all nodded.
"Are the statements circulated in the classics... all true?"
The old scholar muttered to himself in despair: "Standing on both sides of Yin and Yang are the mountains of perseverance, the portal of heaven and earth that separates Hades and the human world. All dead souls will be guided to that end until they enter reincarnation..."
"But why did they come back?"
This question was obviously not something they could answer in front of the computer, so everyone turned their attention to Director Song.
Director Song was also frightened, but he still maintained his long-term attitude and said: "Don't rush to draw conclusions. Even if it is a conjecture, you need facts to prove it. You can try to investigate in this direction..."
Hope everything is just a coincidence.
He had many lucky thoughts.
But he couldn't help but think of the possibility of being confirmed.
