Chapter 98 The Well Keeper (4k Free)

"I heard that the Dragon City Amusement Park was closed yesterday, and many dead people's bones were dug up overnight."

"I know about this. Wasn't it broadcast on TV this morning? I heard that the people behind this amusement park are the Quan family."

"The Quan family? The old man's investment? Isn't this causing trouble?"

The banquet hall on the top floor of the modern building was filled with dignified business executives in suits and leather shoes. The male and female guests gathered together and chatted interestingly about the latest topics in the industry. Their words involved the shocking events in the province. event.

"I heard that after the new amusement park was closed, all the chains of interest behind it were cut off by the authorities, and many people were arrested, including associates of the Quan family. This time, the Quan Group's vitality was seriously damaged. It was immediately confiscated and auctioned, it seems to have been auctioned off.”

The bosses gather together in small groups to talk, and internal information spreads faster than the public information.

"And it was photographed? Who dares to go to this amusement park," the rich second generation leaning aside said, "I'm scared to think about it! What kind of loss-making business?"

"Mr. Shao doesn't know. Although it was apparently bought by a small company," the person who spoke first lowered his voice, "but I heard from inside sources that it was actually the work of 'Wugang', which is a subordinate of Wugang." company."

"Wugang?" Shao Qi's expression changed, "Which Wugang?"

"Do you think there is another Wugang? Who else has done well in the past few years and transferred directly from the south," the speaker said with a smile, "Do you think Wugang will take over this amusement park and do it?" What happened?"

"What's up?"

"Convert the amusement park into a cemetery!"

"Cemetery?!" Shao Qi was stunned.

"No, the bones of those children were not completely collected. Besides, the souls of dead people are still there, so it is a good thing to bury them nearby."

The boss who spoke half sighed and half sighed:

"Besides, how can the person in charge of this amusement park dare to harass the rich and powerful families? The families who are looking for people are all ordinary people. They are basically driven crazy by the torture, and those who are not crazy are also driven to poverty. To do this, Where can I afford to buy a decent cemetery?

"Wugang paid for the burial of these children, and extended an olive branch to allow these parents who had long been out of work to work in the cemetery."

He couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, his tone full of emotion:

"What if the development of Fog Harbor is not unreasonable? The amusement park will be turned into a cemetery. Not only will it be purchased at a low price, but the large facilities will not need to be demolished. The living people will not dare to play, so it will be left to the dead to enjoy - It is so difficult to approve private cemeteries, but the government immediately approved it and gave it a commendation! It is equivalent to the official standing behind it, and the process is easy to follow.

"Furthermore, after such a big incident, cemetery management applications are all very expensive. This will ensure that we have a group of dedicated employees who will save time and effort and will also be grateful to you."

Shao Qi couldn't help but pursed his lips: "This... is indeed amazing."

"It's amazing," someone couldn't help but talk, "Hey...Wugang? How did I hear that the head of Wugang has a big relationship with the Quan family? Even if the relationship is officially severed, they are still a family. I thought it was an exit. , is it actually domestic sales?”

"This matter cannot be mentioned. If you ask me, it is all the fault of the Quan family members."

"It's ugly to talk like that. She has been raised to be so young and she wants to start her own business. The family doesn't care about her at all. She has not repaid her kindness at all. Sooner or later she will be repaid."

"Mr. Shao is still young. If you go back and ask Director Ling Ci Shao, you will know that is not the case..."

A middle-aged woman next to her sighed: "Let's just say that the Quan family is not a small family. When our daughter drowned and fell into a coma, we didn't want to save her. She actually came to my office and asked me if I could find a way to extract eggs from the half-grown child. At home, People with children cannot hear this. The poor girl’s body was covered with injuries, and her legs were badly injured and dragged to the point of death.”

"There is such a thing..."

"Buzz——"

The podium in front of the banquet hall made a sound. A woman in a formal black suit stood on the stage, and the buzzing sound of the adjustment sounded from the microphone in her hand.

Everyone in the banquet hall focused their attention on her.

"Welcome to the opening ceremony of Modern Building," the well-dressed female CEO said with a smile and a clear voice, "Xi Ran would like to thank you all for taking the time to attend."

There was applause from all around. Wen Xiran was wearing exquisite light makeup, her long hair was slightly curly, and she looked capable and mature.

"Wen Xiran, this woman is amazing."

Boss Zhao, who had been talking to Shao Qi just now, said:

"I started from scratch, making cosmetics for women's homes, and also engaged in clothing and wedding design. The most famous one is matchmaker wedding. With the help of the trend of live broadcast platforms in recent years, it has become popular. In less than ten years, in Central District Booked the modern building.”

"That's not why I came here," Shao Qi laughed. "I heard that she only recruits female employees. I was curious and wanted to see what kind of strong woman the boss of this company is."

"Isn't it good news for women in the industry? With this, she has poached countless female employees from her competitors, including senior executives."

"The name is what sells it," Shao Qi looked at the banner above Wen Xiran's head and squinted his eyes, "'Modern Rose - creating a stage for contemporary women to bloom their talents and charm'."

“We at Modern Rose have prepared a stage show for you tonight,” Wen Xiran said with a smile, her words humorous. “We are also showing you our latest clothing and makeup combinations. Gentlemen can also prepare fashionable gifts for their wives at home. "

There was friendly laughter from the audience.

Wen Xiran gave in with a smile: "Then I will give up the stage to the pillars of our company."

The lights on the catwalk dimmed, then lit up with music the next second, and female models appeared one after another.

The makeup is exquisite, light makeup and heavy makeup each have their own charm, minimalist style and gentle style, cheongsam combined with modern patterns, wide sleeves combined with windbreaker, the unique design made the audience shine. Not only the designers who came to learn, but also the bosses couldn't help but look sideways. .

“It has both daily style and commuting style, and it also adds traditional elements. It’s really thoughtful.”

"Sure enough, the aesthetics of our ancestors are better. Otherwise, fashion is just a circle."

"With such a fusion, it can be worn at work every day. It's really exquisite - the reputation is really well established. It can promote products in high-level circles without being annoying."

"As expected of an industry focusing on women, the female designers understand women. This waist is designed for normal women to wear - the clothes match the person, not just the clothes for the person. There is no deformity at all."

"When you said this, I remembered again - no matter how good a female designer is in this design circle, she is not as popular as a male temptress. It's no wonder that these female designers all submitted their resumes to Modern Rose. They all rose to the top based on their ability. "

"The last piece is our modern rose finale design!" Wen Xiran smiled, "a neon wedding dress."

The golden embroidered lights flickered under the lights, and the exquisite and noble golden phoenix soared in the bright red satin, attracting the attention of the audience at the moment of its appearance.

The retro wedding dress looked like a grand scene from the prosperous times, and the layers of skirt were like lotus. The model covered with silk-embroidered red gauze stopped in front of the stage and stopped moving.

Wen Xiran was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, and the audience off the stage also noticed something was wrong.

"What's going on?"

"Why aren't you moving?"

When others were hesitating whether to go up, the open window suddenly blew in the wind and gently lifted the model's red gauze hijab.

Wen Xiran's pupils shrank sharply——

On the stage, I saw a woman in a wedding dress with a gray complexion. Under the light, the whites of her eyes took up all her eyes, and there were traces of blood flowing down her eyes.

Wen Xiran's scalp was numb, and he watched in horror as a twisted smile slowly appeared on the woman's bleeding face. The belt around her waist turned into a tight bloody hemp rope, and she suddenly rushed downwards and died on the stage pillar!

The banquet hall suddenly erupted in screams!

…

"Captain Nie, Deputy Tang."

"Good morning, Captain Nie, good morning, Vice Captain Tang."

In the office building of the Special Bureau of Investigation, staff members coming and going greeted the two people who entered the door.

Nie Cang nodded indicatively, and Tang Junyi followed him. When he heard the greeting, he looked up at the bright sky outside——

Well, it's quite early.

"Hey, Captain Nie!" A unique and spirited greeting could be heard from far away.

The bearded man who came towards him hugged Nie Cang and said excitedly: "Long time no see. Long time no see."

Nie Cang avoided Su Ye's bad breath in disgust and pushed his slovenly colleague away: "...We only met before I left for the mission, less than forty-eight hours."

"Oh, it's only been two days since we last met. I thought it was ten years!"

The man gloated and patted Nie Cang on the shoulder, "I heard that the alien body of your task force was kidnapped by a group of madmen? They haven't seen each other for two days and they did it like this!"

Nie Cang rolled up his sleeves angrily: "Hey, you-"

"Hey, hey, hey, I can tell you whether a gentleman talks or does not act!"

The man immediately pointed at Nie Cang and stepped back with joy: "Our Special Investigation Bureau wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog. You must be very active in this class. I will bring your deputy team here early in the morning. The director was punished hahahahaha.”

"Wen Rengan, have you finished the pollution search? Take your inspection team and patrol the "well" quickly! Nie Cang frowned, "If that doesn't work, go and brush your tooth. It smells like a toilet!" "

*The task force is responsible for the frontline containment of the anomalies; the inspection team is responsible for the safety inspection of the aliens contained in the "well"; the patrol team is responsible for contamination detection in cities and other areas. There is also the core technical research group.

However, the patrol team is usually outside, and it is difficult to see people without handover of tasks.

"You're still impatient, aren't you? I brushed my teeth and just ate herring stinky tofu. I have no nose."

Wen Rengan clicked his tongue and said, "Hurry up and find the director. He's in the office today. Normally you can't find him."

"Herring..." Nie Cang choked, ignored him and walked away, "You should eat something normal! It stinks!"

Tang Junyi held back a smile and nodded to Wen Renqian when he saw the captain leaving: "Goodbye, Captain Wen Ren."

…

"Still laughing!"

Nie Cang glanced at Tang Junyi and said with a sullen face, "This time the pollution has been dealt with. If there is an accident and the alien body is lost, the entire special investigation bureau will have to work overtime, and it may even cause sacrifices!"

Tang Junyi hummed: "I'm not stupid, so if I wasn't sure, I wouldn't do this."

"--What did you say?!"

Nie Cang's eyelids twitched, and he was annoyed for the second time in the morning: "How can you still..."

"Xiao Nie, come in."

A voice suddenly came from the director's office: "I've gotten angry several times so early in the morning. Be careful, you can't get your pension if you have cirrhosis of the liver."

Nie Cang paused for a moment, then tilted his head and replied solemnly, "Yes."

Then he cast a warning glance at Tang Junyi, who was trying to pretend nothing was wrong, and pushed the door open -

The rising sunshine shines in through the one-way glass of the office, bringing with it the warmth of autumn, making people calm down just looking at it.

Nie Cang looked at the people behind the desk: "Director, we—"

"It's not a big deal."

The director is wearing the dark black uniform of the Special Bureau, with a silver triangle badge pinned to the right side of the uniform, shining brightly in the light.

He tilted his head, and the earring on his right ear swayed with the movement——

The director of the Special Investigation Bureau has always seen the beginning and end of the dragon. Although Tang Junyi was dug up by the director in name, he had never seen the true face of this person. This was the first time he had seen him since he was promoted to the deputy team. He couldn't help but Take a closer look.

It was a small and delicate hourglass shape, with half of the silver-white gravel inside already falling down, and it shimmered brightly when the director tilted his head.

The moment Tang Junyi looked at it, his head suddenly felt stinging and his mind went blank.

"Young people are always more curious than old people."

The director noticed and smiled, and Nie Cang immediately raised his hand to block Tang Junyi's eyes.

After a moment of trance in front of him, Tang Junyi suddenly regained consciousness, and the feeling of his soul sinking suddenly disappeared.

"Xiao Tang, if you stop trying to spy on me, you won't feel like this anymore."

The director still had his back to him, but he looked very young from the back, and his voice was clear and gentle.

Tang Junyi was still frightened, but he came to his senses after being patted lightly by Nie Cang: "...I understand."

"Well, that's good."

The director seemed to be a little tired and pinched his eyebrows, but he was still patient when he said: "Xiao Nie, forget about the punishments you want to say - it is good for young people to have their own opinions, and I also support young people to have their own ideas. ”

"Besides, I have seen the whole story. The idea is essentially correct. Leave the alien skeleton alone and nothing will happen."

See? How to see it?

Tang Junyi felt a little cold in his heart. Could it be that his memory was spied on when he was unconscious?

"By the way, I've read the application for the use of "Taisui Pupil" you submitted - this matter ends here, don't check the child. "

"Why?" Tang Junyi was stunned and blurted out, "Director, if you want to prove the other party's innocence, the "Tai Sui Pu" can be used. We-"

Nie Cang immediately stopped him and interrupted solemnly: "Stop talking."

"It's okay. It's a good thing that young people like to ask questions."

The director smiled and said: "But Tai Sui Tong is of no use to Quan Heng, and the "well watchman" will not agree to your use. If there are any projects related to Quan Heng in the future, remember to click on it, or directly contact me and Report from the deputy bureau. "

Nie Cang: "Yes."

"If Xiao Tang doesn't like that task, there is no need to perform it anymore. It will not succeed." The director said, "Just go out if you have nothing to do. I'm tired."

"Yes." Nie Cang responded, followed closely by Tang Junyi. When closing the door, he glanced at the director who had his back to them.

Although he sounds like a young man and looks from behind, he is only in his twenties, but Tang Junyi had heard from the captain before that this director had been in office for nearly thirty years.

Why is it...

The director suddenly tilted his head, and the hourglass earring in his right ear swayed, reflecting silver light.

The dawn light fell on him, and half of his body was hidden in the darkness.

It seemed like he was just looking at the sunshine from a different perspective.

The door crack closed, and Tang Junyi captured a silhouette of the empty ground at that moment.

——A single figure, seemingly carrying countless loneliness and loneliness.

…

"Captain, what is the position of "Well Watchman"? If we want to use xenobiotics, do we still need to report to the well watcher? "

"There was no such position before, but the origins of the first few sealed items were quite special. This person didn't want to leave, and later reached an agreement with the director. She stayed to look after the underground well. If you want to use the first few sealed items, you have to go through her. agree."

Nie Cang sighed slightly:

"You are also a descendant of the Beidou lineage. It stands to reason that there should be elders in the clan who know what happened in the past. However, due to game blocking and some unknown reasons, the core personnel involved were wiped out. I only know that such a person exists because of the Director. , I have no idea what that person’s name is and what he did.”

"Erase?" Tang Junyi paused, "Are you saying that this person did good things, but didn't even leave his name?"

Nie Cang said nothing, patted his shoulder, and pointed to the oaths on both sides of the hall, which were illuminated by the morning light after dawn and were gilded with light gold:

"*We are committed to controlling anomalies and containing them, and protecting the world without anyone noticing."

"For the survival of mankind - persevere in this glorious but honorless battle."

Tang Junyi was moved: "But..."

"Dip-dip-"

The corridor alarm suddenly sounded, and a serious female voice came from the radio channel:

"Attention, task force, please pay attention, task force. There is suspected contamination in the modern building in Fujiang's downtown area. Please gather the task force immediately and go there."

"When we were patrolling, we detected pollution fluctuations here, so we reported it back immediately. Unexpectedly, it was too late, and the incubation period was actually less than a day."

The cordon was raised and the entire modern building was cordoned off. When Nie Cang arrived with his people, only the corpses that had been hit on the pillars were left at the scene.

He squatted down and took a look at the model's bleeding face: "She is the only one who was contaminated?"

"Theoretically, after all, there have been no other pollution fluctuations nearby."

The patrol team leader Mo Yan nodded and suddenly frowned at the wedding dress on the model.

"However, we thought it was the wedding dress at first, but we just scanned it and found that there was no contamination residue on the wedding dress, and there was no trace of contamination in other places we tested."

"What do you mean?" Nie Cang paused while checking the wedding clothes.

"It means..."

Mo Yan said frankly with a sigh: "Just before you came, the pollution fluctuations here disappeared."

"What?" Nie Cang frowned.

“That’s what you heard, there’s no pollution anymore—it’s all a waste of time.”

Mo Yan was a little embarrassed, but suddenly realized: "But it would be a good thing if this is an inadvertent mistake. If there is no contamination, it will be handed over to the general department, and the risk factor will drop sharply!"

Nie Cang said in a serious tone: "Are you sure there is no pollution?"

"I'm sure."

Mo Yan glanced at him, "Do I dare to talk about this matter casually? Not to mention that you find it strange, but I am also surprised - we retested it more than a dozen times before you came, and there was no sign of contamination at all. The contamination has disappeared on its own.

"Didn't this happen last month? As the new version gets closer and closer, the barriers in the border areas begin to become unstable. It is very likely that when a certain space becomes unstable, it will cause a short-term impact on the human world. Impact, it is very possible that we just detected the leaked pollution.

"The deputy director also said that it is possible. And the results of more than ten tests are in front of you. It cannot be contained without contamination."

"……really."

Nie Cang had to admit it. He looked at the wedding dress on the corpse and stood up, "Then hand it over to the general department - we will pay attention to whether it is artificial."

If it is not man-made pollution, memory changes will still need to be made in the future.

"Don't worry, I will definitely follow you until the end."

Mo Yan nodded and muttered, "You are the one leading the team. I feel uncomfortable handing over the deputy bureau even before he comes back. They are all rough guys. Now except for our patrol team, there are no female compatriots in our bureau who are housekeepers. Wait until we clean up I’ll go home directly after that.”

Nie Cang: "..."

The female task force and supervisory teams were all taken away by the deputy bureau. What can I do? ! And it was an exercise for all regions around the world!

You didn't go because, like us, you were abused during the team selection!

"...You can do whatever you want." Nie Cang stood up and suddenly caught something with his peripheral vision and looked in a certain direction, "Who is that person?"

Mo Yan followed his gaze and saw the capable woman who was taking notes. She remained calm and composed even after such a big thing happened, and answered the police officer's questions one by one.

"Are you talking about her? This fashion company owner is a strong woman who often appears in magazines. She is quite famous."

Mo Yan thought for a while:

"——It seems to be Wen Xiran."

"If an employee dies in front of him, not to mention the psychological impact, it will also destroy the store operation of the building, and may even affect the development of the entire brand." Mo Yan lamented, "It is not easy to start a business."

Nie Cang listened to his colleague's words and withdrew his slightly suspicious eyes: "If it is really pollution, provide assistance according to relevant procedures."

"That's for sure."

Mo Yan nodded and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, your cycle is coming soon, are you about to enter the picture again?"

Nie Cang's frown slightly relaxed: "Well, we'll come in after the processing is completed."

…

Lanzhuang

The gardener was cutting flower branches when he heard the sound of the wheelchair and turned around quickly: "You're up."

The morning sun was warm. Quan Heng was wearing a casual Tang suit. The eighteen pieces on his wrist were gentle and made his wrist as bright as jade.

"Well," Quan Heng stretched out his hand, indicating that he was in a good mood today, "Give me the flower cuttings."

The gardener responded and handed the flower scissors in his hand to Quan Heng.

"Brother Xiaoting, this word..." Mu Jing hugged Mu Xiaoliu and frowned, trying to identify the homework that Sang Ting had written all night.

"What's wrong?"

Sang Ting shook the carbon pen feebly, feeling that his hand was about to cramp, and his resentment was about to turn into reality.

"A lamp, a pen, a night, a miracle. What do you think of my miracle?"

"No," Mu Jing shook his head and whispered, "It's just that this miracle looks so strange. It's different from what I've seen before."

Sang Ting: "…………"

Just say the wording is ugly, thank you.

Quan Heng heard it from a distance and chuckled softly: "Don't laugh at your brother Xiaoting. His handwriting has been like this since he was a child, and he can't bear to change it."

The posture of holding a gun and holding a knife is countless times more beautiful than that word.

"Boss," Sang Ting suddenly remembered something, "Does Xiao Wu want to go to school?"

"First take him to the elementary school at home to experience it," Quan Heng cut off the stray leaves. "If he likes it, go. If he doesn't like it, stay at home. But he still has to read. Study in the library with Professor Jing and read more books. ”

"I know," Sang Ting looked at Mu Jing, "There is a library at home. If you want to go, I will take you there today. As for school...if you don't like it, I can teach you some practical things, such as firearms and physical skills. , learn or not?”

He seemed to find it amusing, raised his eyebrows and said: "After you learn how to do this, if someone bullies you, just beat them up."

Mu Jing's eyes lit up, and she responded abruptly: "Learn!"

Sang Ting also laughed, and suddenly thought of something: "Oh, that's right."

He put aside his "miracle" and said, "I'll tell the boss something fun."

"how?"

"Last night, a company called 'Modern Rose' opened for business, but someone died during the opening ceremony, and it was their model."

Quan Heng put down the flower scissors: "Modern rose?"

"It's that fashion company with all-female employees. They have strong professional capabilities and are well-known in the industry."

Sang Ting held his face, thoughtfully, "But this 'Modern Rose' boss has cooperation with Quan Lin's business."

Quan Lin's deal?

That's probably antique reselling.

"You really won't look back until you hit the wall. You can't win the inheritance rights from that old man by relying on this." Quan Heng said, "You just said that in the fashion industry, is it a fashion company that innovates traditional elements?"

"Yes," Sang Ting nodded, "their wedding dress that was involved in the accident was actually dug out from the ground by that piece of shit Quan Lin and sold to them, and the organization you are concerned about is also there."

"Special Bureau of Investigation?"

Seeing Sang Ting nodding, Quan Heng roughly understood. Before she could speak, Acheng said first:

"Boss, Mr. Bian is here and will enter the chess room soon."

"Mr. Bian... I understand. Take out my new celadon tea set and take it to the chess room."

Quan Heng took the wet towel to wipe his hands and ordered:

"Xiao Ting takes Xiao Wu for a walk around the house to get acquainted. If you are tired today, ask for leave and don't go to school. If you are so sleepy, you should sleep. But the first period seems to be your class teacher's class. Make your own decision."

"Oh...I'd better go then."

Sang Ting watched Quan Heng leave and said in a low voice: "We are socializing again. I know I won't be able to rest when I come back. How will my body be able to hold on like this?"

The voice became quieter as he got to the back. Mu Jing didn't hear it clearly at all, but he still asked in a low voice: "What is entertainment?"

"It's a bit difficult. I don't know how to explain it, but the boss said they are all soft swords and I don't need to learn them." Sang Ting stuck out his tongue. "After all, I am color blind and can't read other people's faces."

"But sister hasn't had breakfast yet." Mu Jing was worried.

"Boss, I went to bed too late last night," Sang Ting dropped his pen, dissatisfied, "This guy named Bian is really wrong. He lives near the top of the mountain and is not willing to live in Lanzhuang. He comes to play chess after taking a walk in the early morning. Don’t be idle even when you’re old, I’m done with it.”

"Maybe this way we can communicate better and avoid suspicion." Mu Jing understood a little more and said, "But I don't understand either, brother Xiaoting, can you cook?"

Sang Ting: "...ah?"
