Lord of Puluo
Chapter 535: The Ghost in the Underground City
At 8:50 in the morning, Shen Jingye was looking through the meeting materials in the office.
There will be three meetings today, which are expected to last all day. The first meeting will start at nine o'clock.
Shen Jingye stressed that these meetings were very important, but Shen Jingye had never read all the meeting materials before. He only used the ten minutes before the meeting to browse them roughly.
Shen Jingye often mentioned a sentence: "The purpose of the meeting is not to solve problems, but to raise awareness." From the overall quality of the meeting materials, we can see the depth of understanding and importance of the meeting by the relevant personnel. ————·
Di la di la~
The landline rang.
Seeing the caller number, Shen Jingye fell into deep thought.
He only thought about it for five seconds because he knew time was very tight now.
He immediately took out his mobile phone and called the driver directly, asking the driver to prepare the car. He was going to his subordinate unit to conduct research.
As for the postponement of the meeting, you can wait until you get in the car before notifying the relevant personnel. Shen Jingye hung up the phone.
He immediately left the office without locking the door and walked directly to the elevator.
He pressed the downstairs button, the elevator door opened, and Li Qi walked out of the elevator.
Shen Jingye was silent for less than a second, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Director Li is back. It's been a hard journey. I'm going out in a hurry. Let's talk when we get back."
Shen Jingye walked into the elevator calmly and calmly, and was pulled back by Li Qi.
"Xiao Shen, come to my office."
Sitting in Li Qi's office, Shen Jingye looked gloomy.
Li Qi frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that you would have such an attitude after I came all the way back!"
Shen Jingye adjusted his expression: "Director Li, I do have important work at hand."
"What work is more important than what I am currently dealing with? I signed a contract with Neizhou, and you don't want to take a look at it?"
Shen Jingye wanted to know the outcome of the negotiation between Li Qi and Neizhou, but he couldn't know.
"Director Li, this work is mainly completed in Puluo Prefecture. The responsible person should be in the Customs and Defense Department. The one who should really hear about the progress of the work should be General Liao."
Li Banfeng smiled: "Does that mean you don't want to hear it?"
"That's not true. I think Ambassador Liao should have first-hand information."
"You want to blame the matter on Liao Zihui?"
"I have absolutely no intention of pushing it forward, but the division of responsibilities must be clear."
"Does that mean you don't want to take care of this matter?"
"I really don't..." Shen Jingye's lips turned white.
Li Banfeng handed the deed to Shen Jingye: "Let's write a report based on this."
Shen Jingye took the deed and didn't want to read a word.
But there was nothing he could do if he didn't read it. Li Qi just stuffed it into him, so he couldn't say he couldn't read.
Fortunately, the outcome of the matter was good. After the Customs and Defense Department evacuated the soda kiln, Neizhou promised not to pursue the gatekeeper incident again, and the war crisis between the two sides was temporarily lifted.
Li Qi took a sip of tea and continued: "I have reached an agreement with Lv Shuigong. He will not come to other states in the short term."
Shen Jingye was not too satisfied with this result: "Director Li, what is the concept of short-term? Should there be a clear time range?"
Li Qi shook his head: "It's really unclear at the moment. Lu Huazi has always been erratic in doing things. This work needs to be continued. It's impossible to make him promise never to come. We must also respond accordingly. Only then can I continue to negotiate with him.”
Shen Jingye thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case, we'd better report it to Director Du together."
Li Banfeng nodded: "No problem, you can bring him to me. I don't have too much work these two days, so I can take the time to see him."
Shen Jingye looked embarrassed: "Isn't this appropriate?"
Li Banfeng asked: "What's wrong? He's not cured yet?"
"Okay, okay, it's just about my job-"""
Du Wenming recovered from his illness. Li Banfeng was very interested in this matter: "Is it Director Du who was cured by Kang Zhenchang?"
Shen Jingye did not hide anything: "Currently, he is the only one who has this ability."
"What level of medical education is Kang Zhenchang at?"
"Seven levels!" Shen Jingye answered very naturally, "Kang Zhenchang has the strongest strength among the therapists, so he naturally has the highest level."
Therapist is the name for medical practitioners in other states. According to the common understanding in other states, the limit of dark ability is seven levels.
Shen Jingye gave a standard official answer.
Of course, Li Banfeng knew that this answer was pure nonsense. How could seventh-level medical treatment cure Lv Shui Gong's disease?
"I want to see Dr. Kang, can you make arrangements for me?"
Shen Jingye shook his head and said: "This is very difficult. Kang Zhenchang is a special talent and receives special protection. When our bureau needs Kang Zhenchang to cooperate in performing tasks, we must apply in advance."
"Does the bureau have any relevant information about Kang Zhenchang?"
"There is some information, but it is a top-secret document. In terms of the process-"
While they were talking, their cell phones rang at the same time.
There is a mission.
An "aggregation of autonomous consciousness dark energy" appeared in Menghao Dungeon, and the Dark Star Bureau needed to deal with it immediately.
Li Banfeng looked at his phone and said, "What is an autonomous consciousness dark energy aggregate?"
Shen Jingye explained: "It is the product of the aggregation of the residual consciousness and dark energy after the end of life. In the words of Puozhou, it is called a resentful soul."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Do we still need to emphasize Puozhou? Isn't there the word resentful soul in other states?"
"Because the term resentful soul itself is not scientific, we rarely use this term, Director Li,
I really want to participate in this mission, but since your work has achieved important results, I hope you can go with me to Director Du to give a work report. "
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "I'll leave such an important task to you. I'll go and see it on site."
After getting on the minibus, Tang Yuan first introduced the situation at the scene: "A dark energy enthusiasts organization, gathering in the Menghao underground city, was attacked by an autonomous dark energy aggregate. The attack caused three deaths and two injuries. All survivors have been killed." Evacuate the scene."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Don't talk about aggregates, just say resentful souls. Is there a clear definition in the Dark Star Bureau? What is the difference between this kind of resentful souls and ordinary dead souls?"
He had to know what kind of fighting power this resentful spirit had.
Hearing Li Qi's question, Tang Yuan sat next to Li Qi and explained in a low voice: "The residual consciousness after the end of life is the soul of the dead, and the product of the combination of the soul of the dead and dark energy is the resentful soul.
There are two types of sources of resentful souls. One is ordinary dead souls that are exposed to a large amount of dark energy, and the other is the dead souls of dark energy users, because dark energy users themselves carry a large amount of dark energy. "
Li Banfeng thought for a moment, frowned and said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with resentment."
Tangyuan's voice became even softer: "So, resentful souls cannot be used to refer to autonomous consciousness dark energy aggregates.

The reason why she wanted to sit next to Li Qi was that Li Qi hadn't been back to the bureau for a long time, and she wanted to sit closer to Li Qi.
On the other hand, she didn't want others to know Li Qi's lack of common sense.
In fact, she knew that Li Qi knew much more about dark energy people than they did, but Li Qi did not master the same knowledge system as they did.
Li Qi didn't think there was anything embarrassing, so he asked if he didn't understand: "Dark energy enthusiasts organization, does it refer to private dark energy practitioners?"
"They are not dark energy users, but through certain channels, they have mastered some knowledge of dark energy, possess some dark energy resources, and know some spells and rituals related to dark energy. Such organizations are generally divided into two types. One is Learn the folk customs of the country and surrounding countries, and the other is to learn witchcraft and black magic from the West. Today I encountered this organization called the Chamomile Wizards Association. The president and three key members are from Ravsha, and the total number of members is sixty-three. people--"
The minibus drove all the way to Menghao Underground City. From the 1990s to the beginning of this century, underground cities were popular in major cities. Catering, entertainment, sales, and all walks of life were operating in underground cities. .
Tang Yuan introduced: "Ten years ago, the underground city gradually declined. A fire in Menghao Underground City dealt a heavy blow to the merchants who were struggling to maintain operations. The underground city has been abandoned since then.
In the next few years, this place became a gathering place for dark energy enthusiast organizations. There are some rumors among these organizations that this place is called a place of spiritual enrichment, or a source of dark energy. Although We have blocked similar ones many times.
Before he finished speaking, Li Banfeng suddenly heard a quarrel. A tall, blond man shouted in a stiff accent: "You have no right to keep me here. I'm not from your place. You have no right to restrict my freedom!”
According to the law enforcement officers at the scene, this person is the president of the Chamomile Wizards Association, Cheriviko.
He was pushing the law enforcement officers and yelling.
Li Banfeng took one look and ordered: "Kill him."
Tangyuan was stunned, Bulb blinked, and Star pretended not to hear.
Zhong Er walked over with his hands in hand, but was stopped by Director Wang.
"Director Li, there is no small matter in foreign affairs. This matter should not be impulsive."
Li Banfeng repeated again: "Kill him."
Zhong Er bypassed Director Wang, walked up to Cheriviko, and took one of his arms.
Cheriviko shook off Chuu Er and shouted: "What do you want to do? What right do you have to do this? Do you know who I am? You have no right to touch me -..."
Zhonger knocked Cervico down with one kick, twisted his arm, took his hand, and held his hands together from behind.
"You have to pay the price, you must pay the price!" Cheriviko screamed.
Li Banfeng said: "Send him to the car."
The second boy picked up Cheriviko and threw him into the car. During the process of getting into the car, Cheriviko hit his head and fell silent.
The other three Ravsha men were still shouting, and the second one took out another deputy, and the three men quickly became quiet.
Deputy Director Wang was frightened and quickly called Director Shen: "Director, Director Li was too impulsive and gave away people indiscriminately. They are not our people -"
After he recounted what happened, Shen Jingye remained silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand this."
Once you know it, it's over?
Deputy Director Wang asked: "How should I deal with it?"
"You don't have to deal with it. Just follow Director Li's instructions on the spot." Shen Jingye hung up the phone.
Director Du asked: "What happened?"
Director Shen said: "There is a resentful spirit in Menghao Dungeon. It's nothing serious."
"It's nothing important, so let's put it aside for now. Let's talk about the report in detail first. This deed in Neizhou is very crucial. Is it true that Green Water Gong can't get any substantive materials?"
Shen Jingye has answered this question countless times.
He was tired, really tired.
Li Banfeng took people into the underground city, where karaoke halls, dance halls, billiard halls, entertainment halls, Internet cafes, and representative entertainment venues from the end of the last century and the beginning of this century all came into view.
Under the guidance of the on-site personnel, everyone entered a karaoke hall, the gathering place of the Wizards Association, in a box near the door.
Zhuang Shuxing, a psychic from the security team, found the mantra that fell on the ground. The mantra was written in Ravsha. As soon as the translator gave the translation, Zhuang Shuxing saw the origin of the mantra.
"This is the contract used by psychics to summon war spirits."
Li Banfeng also took a look. Because it was a literal translation, there were many obscure words in the sentences, but the general meaning was,
It is indeed similar to the contract between the demon cultivator and the ghost servant.
The last sentence is a little different. The war spirit they want to summon is a handsome man from an ancient world.
"What does the old world mean?" Li Banfeng looked at the translator.
The translator didn’t know the specific meaning of this sentence, so he could only make some guesses: “In some countries, Prozhou is called the old world.”
Are they trying to summon war spirits from Puozhou?
What's the reason?
Li Banfeng's first reaction was that another undead from Puzhou had wandered to other states.
"What is the standard for a handsome man?" Li Banfeng looked at the psychic Zhuang Shuxing.
Zhuang Shuxing thought for a while and shouted toward the door: "Handsome guy!"
The light bulb, the second grader, the star, the awl, and the sixty-year-old all turned their faces at the same time.
Zhuang Shuxing said: "Director, look at it, there is no man in the world who thinks he is not handsome. There is something very wrong with his summons.
I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. This was originally our summoning contract. It was written in Huan Guo dialect. I don't know who translated it into Ingrid dialect and was exiled outside.
Ingrid became Sipany, Sipany became Ottli, Ottli became Ravsha, three times, five times, seven or eight times, and then back to us, It has become a foreign witchcraft. Isn’t this nonsense?
Psychics can summon war spirits by relying on technical control. These white guys don't know anything. They used Western witchcraft and our contract to fool around, maybe they summoned something. "
Li Banfeng looked at the three corpses at the scene. The wounds were all on the throat, and they were all killed with a single stab.
"Did you find the murder weapon?"
The law enforcement officers at the scene shook their heads, and a forensic doctor said: "Judging from the appearance, the three wounds should be caused by three different murder weapons, or the weapons used by the murderer may have different changes in different locations."
Li Banfeng looked at the broken TV screen. At the end of the last century, LCD screens were not popular, and many karaoke bars used glass screens.
He looked at the position and distance of the body, and said to the forensic doctor: "Look for it among the broken glass on the ground."
Zhong Er said: "Director, you mean that the resentful spirits they summoned picked up the broken glass on the ground?"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "No need to pick it up."
He had seen this kind of battle in Puzhou.
"The revenant smashed the TV screen with one punch, and the flying glass cut the necks of the three people."
The second grader couldn't believe it: "Can such a thing really be done?"
"You are a fighter, you can do it when your level goes up."
Zhuang Shuxing was also a little surprised: "How high is this? Does Datou have this ability?"
Datou does not have this ability, and a fifth-level martial artist cannot do this.
Chen Changrui didn't say anything. He knew that Li Banfeng had found the right direction.
But finding the murder weapon doesn't seem to be of much help to the current situation.
"They caused trouble," Li Qi looked solemn. "They summoned a high-level martial artist. We don't know where this martial artist is yet."
Chen Changrui also had similar concerns. He asked the law enforcement officers: "Have other areas of the underground city been checked?"
The law enforcement officer replied: "Only a general inspection was done."
Li Banfeng handed over the scene to the forensic doctor, and he led everyone towards the depths of the singing hall.
This karaoke hall has been abandoned for many years. The tiles in the corridor are broken, covered with dust and cobwebs, and bugs crawl through it from time to time.
The karaoke hall is not small in size, with more than 20 private rooms of various sizes deep in the corridor.
As we were about to reach the end of the corridor, a burst of laughter suddenly came from a box on the left.
"Mr. Wang, would you like to have another drink? Just one."
"Little darling, if you give me a kiss, I'll have a drink!"
Who is Mr. Wang?
Li Banfeng looked back at Director Wang.
Director Wang said in shock: "That's definitely not me!"
There is someone in this box.
There was faint singing coming from inside. It was seriously out of tune and had a huge echo, typical of singing in a karaoke hall.
"Is there no one checking here?" Director Wang looked at Chen Changrui.
Chen Changrui was also surprised. Even if the law enforcement officers ignored this box, they would definitely be able to find someone singing here.
Besides, this is a karaoke hall that has been abandoned for many years. How can the audio equipment still be running?
Zhong Er pulled out his pistol and was about to step forward to investigate, but was pulled back by Li Banfeng.
"Everyone is on alert!" Li Banfeng gave the order, "Everyone is at your position!"
It is difficult to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the security team, but after all, they are well-trained and quickly took up their positions in the corridor.
Strong malice rushed towards his face, causing Li Banfeng to break out in a cold sweat.
Pushing the door and entering the box, the singing and laughter stopped abruptly. It seemed to be no different from other boxes, except for the thick dust and layers of cobwebs.
Li Banfeng touched the glass screen, and the hair on the back of his hand stood up.
There is static electricity.
This screen has just been used.
He opened Jin Qing Qiu Hao and scanned the room for a week, but found nothing unusual.
Things that can escape Jin Qingqiuhao's level are not low, at least higher than Li Banfeng's current level.
He quietly exited the box and immediately ordered: "Leave the dungeon and seal off the surrounding area!"
By noon, Shen Jingye arrived at the scene and personally directed the investigation.
Ten investigators, fully armed and carrying investigative equipment, entered the underground city and continued their investigation until seven o'clock in the evening, when preliminary results were obtained.
The Chamomile Wizard Association used a psychic summoning ritual to summon a collection of dark energy with autonomous consciousness. This collection is a high-level fighter, and its current whereabouts are unknown.
The sounds that Li Qi and others heard in the singing hall should come from a certain dark energy carrier with illusion properties.
The level of the carrier is unknown and its whereabouts are unknown.
"Xiao Shen, you mean there is an illusion magic weapon in the box?"
Shen Jingye nodded: "This is the only reasonable explanation that can be made at present."
What is a reasonable explanation?
If it is really a magic weapon, how high must the level of this magic weapon be? Even Pan Dehai couldn't escape Li Banfeng's golden eyes.
Could this thing be in the dark dimension?
Li Banfeng also wanted to find a chance to try using a bowl, but Shen Jingye was more worried about another thing.
"Where did the grudge of that fighter go?"
Li Qi asked: "What did the witnesses say?"
Shen Jingye handed over the witness statements to Li Qi: “They didn’t provide much valuable information.
This time the gathering was hosted by their president, who purchased the summons through a similar organization in Ravsha Kingdom and used the knowledge mastered by their association to conduct a spiritual ceremony.
According to their description, at the beginning of the ceremony, the lights in the box suddenly turned on and the temperature dropped sharply. These enthusiasts were very excited at the time.
But later, the box showed signs of twisting and collapse, and these enthusiasts escaped from the box. During the escape, a man with a physical entity appeared among them. Two witnesses were injured after coming into contact with the man.
The three deceased were injured by sharp weapons. The murder weapon has been identified and is exactly consistent with your inference. It was broken glass on the ground. If three people were killed in a row with one blow, the situation would be terrible. "
It was rare for Shen Jingye to be so focused on the case, and Li Banfeng admired his professionalism.
"What are you going to do next?"
Shen Jingye said: "I have reported the case to my superiors, who have already started taking action. It is a very special action. Neither you nor I can interfere with the specific content of the action."
Li Banfeng was surprised: "Is it so special?"
Shen Jingye lowered his voice and said, "As far as I know, a person with a highly confidential identity has been dispatched from above. This person has a way to find the resentful soul and eliminate him."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Xiao Shen, are you really not allowed to reveal any inside information?"
"It's not that I won't reveal it, it's that I really don't know. This person's identity is top secret and I can't even guess it!"
"What can't you guess?" After listening to Li Banfeng's description, the lady was very disdainful, "My lord, where is the deed that they used to summon the evil spirits?"
Li Banfeng said: "I gave it to Shen Jingye. Shen Jingye said he would give it to his superiors."
~
The record player sneered: "What do I think is a clever trick? Isn't it just a trick used by the curse cultivator to chase the murderer? This deed is related to the evil ghost, and the connection is very deep. It is equivalent to the certificate of his coming here. The curse cultivator can use it This connection casts a curse on evil spirits.”
Li Banfeng nodded and said: "This is also a good method. If the spell is successful, will it be able to eliminate the dead soul?"
The record player spit out steam and said: "It's hard to say, it depends on the cultivation level of both parties."
Li Banfeng thought for a while: "Once a dead soul dies, its strength will definitely be damaged."
The record player said: "Curse cultivation does not mean casting a curse directly, but casting a curse through a deed. There is an extra twist and the spell will be damaged.
In this situation, no one can take advantage. If the cultivation level of the curse cultivator is higher than that of the deceased soul, there is a chance to curse the deceased soul to death.
But if the curse cultivator's cultivation is not as good as that of the dead soul, and the dead soul has withstood the curse, the curse will fail, and the curse cultivator will suffer the backlash.
However, the sect of Curse Cultivator is really good at being an assassin. In Puluo Prefecture, all forces hate Curse Cultivator extremely. They kill each other one by one. There are not many cultivators left in this sect.
I guess there aren't many spell cultivators in other states. If you occasionally find one or two, you have to use them carefully. It's hard to say if you have a second thought and stab someone in the opposite direction, no one will know. It makes sense to do it more secretly. among. "
After explaining the cause and effect, Li Banfeng also saw the situation clearly: "Wait for two days. If there is no movement on this matter, it will prove that the curse cultivator killed the dead soul curse. If the curse cultivator failed, Shen Jingye will definitely come to find him." I,
Madam, I suspect that the danger in the karaoke hall is related to the unknown place. I am going to take Bozi to have a look. "
"My lord, I don't think this matter can be rushed. My lord has already reached the second level of cultivation. The opponent who can make my lord break into a cold sweat is definitely not an ordinary person.
Regardless of whether the enemy is in an unknown place, Xiaonu feels that he must be related to the dead soul. It will not be too late to investigate after catching the dead soul and asking for the details. "
Li Banfeng hugged the record player and rubbed it against the speaker: "Where can I find such a good wife?"
The record player said softly: "Ms. sir, don't hug me so tightly."
Hong Ying said softly: "Qilang, can you fly?"
The oil can that he originally raised was put down, and Li Banfeng lowered his head and left the home.
The record player grabbed the board and said, "You bitch, why do you always make fun of me?"
Hong Ying lay next to the record player and said, "I just don't want to see you guys making out!"
"How can we be intimate? Are we a serious couple? Why should we——"
The record player felt something was wrong and pushed Hong Ying with the board, "You stay away from me first."
The next morning, Li Banfeng packed up his documents and was about to go to a meeting when Shen Jingye knocked on the door and entered the office.
"Director Li, I have work to report to you."
"Xiao Shen, you have made progress again, but I am very busy now. Let's make an appointment at another time."
"Bureau Li, where are you going?"
"It's a meeting! Didn't you give the notice yesterday?"
Shen Jingye stopped Li Qi and said: "The meeting has been delayed."
Li Banfeng was very worried: "How long will it be delayed? You will disrupt my work rhythm."
"It doesn't matter if we don't hold the meeting. Please listen to me and tell me something important first. Our superiors have given us the task of searching for the resentful souls again. This is their trust in us."
"Why didn't you trust me before?"
"Then let's not talk about what happened before—"
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "It's a mess, right? The spell didn't work, right?"
Shen Jingye pursed his lips and said, "I don't know the specific reason."
"Then you should first find out what happened. How did you mess it up? What level is the curse cultivator at, what method was used, what is the current situation, compile it into a report, and give it to me."
Shen Jingye sighed: "It's really hard for me to talk to my superiors about this."
"Is it easy to talk to me now?" Li Qi's face sank, "If the matter is unclear, don't come back to see me!"
Shen Jingye lowered his head and went out. He checked from morning to night and finally got the information.
The superior sent out a seventh-level curse cultivator who used the spell through the contract and fought for more than two hours.
The curse backfired and he died.
Is it really the seventh floor?
Back at his residence, Li Banfeng looked through the information carefully.
The level limit disclosed to the outside world is seven levels. The level of this curse cultivator may be above the seventh level. He was backlashed, which proves that the cultivation level of the dead soul is higher than him.
Where can I find this dead soul?
Li Banfeng couldn't think of a good solution for a while. Suddenly he saw the projector open the film compartment: "Director Seven, I have a phone call for you. It's Tang Changfa."
Li Banfeng called back. Tang Changfa was in the theater box and whispered: "Shopkeeper, someone is delivering the goods to Yin Siniang."
"Where is the person?"
"Just entered the box."
"Stay still and wait for me to fly over!" Li Banfeng opened the window and jumped out.
Bang!
A burst of dust flew up, and Li Banfeng stood up from the green belt of the community and rushed to the Cultural Palace.
PS: You must quickly learn to ride the wind and the clouds, otherwise you won’t even be able to lift the oil can.
This resentful spirit is of great importance, and we must find a way to catch him.
