iron tower mountain,
Located on the outskirts of Jiayang City,
An iron tower was built in this mountain during the Zhao and Song Dynasties, hence the name Iron Tower Mountain. It was once a scenic spot.
Only half a year ago, because several tourists disappeared in the mountains, there were rumors that the tower was haunted.
Perhaps in order to temporarily avoid the storm, the management of the scenic area sealed off the entire Tieta Mountain Scenic Area, claiming to be conducting safety hazard inspections and upgrading facilities in the scenic area.
Since the lockdown half a year ago, it has not been opened yet.
Nowadays, various facilities in the scenic area have become increasingly obsolete due to neglect of management and maintenance. The cableway that shuttles through the mountains has been removed, and the original tourist rest area has been occupied by thick forests. There is no sign of upgrading the facilities. .
Silver-gray cars pass through the mountainous road,
Drive into the scenic park.
The main building of this scenic spot, the Iron Tower, is located in the scenic park.
Unlike the desolate and uninhabited areas outside the park, which are gradually being recaptured by nature, the scenic park has two teams of people patrolling the area day and night to prevent curious 'explorers'. Get into the park.
The car stopped in front of the guardrail blocking the tower.
Fang Gan opened the door and stepped out of the car.
There were already three people waiting in front of the guardrail. When they saw Fang Gan getting out of the car, they all gathered around.
"team leader."
The three of them called each other "inspector" like ordinary subordinates, but called him "captain".
Before being promoted to the third inspector of the Prison, Fang Gan was the captain of the East Fourth District's Conqueror Team.
The three people gathered in front of him had all fought alongside him and resisted the strange invasion together.
However, since Fang Gan was absorbed into the upper echelons of the prison, there seemed to be a gap between him and his former comrades.
The round-faced young man standing directly opposite Fang Gan looked at Fang Gan with complicated eyes.
"Dongxing." Fang Gan looked at the round-faced young man with a smile, patted his shoulder, and walked towards the iron tower in the fence first, "Did Cui Xun send the person here?"
"Sent here." Li Dongxing responded in a low voice, "It's in the guard area of the prison.
She's not doing well. "
"I see."
Fang Gan nodded and approached the entrance of the tower.
The dark entrance in front of him was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast.
Li Dongxing stood three steps away from the entrance and couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do with her?"
"It's just the inquiry stage now, it's not time to deal with her yet."
Fang Gan smiled and turned around and replied.
Then look back and step into the darkness.
Wow…
In the dark entrance, there was the sound of chains being dragged.
Li Dongxing stood outside the iron tower, his expression obviously relaxed.
Tread, tap, tap,
Two blue-grey brick walls moved forward side by side. Fang Gan put away the 'key' and walked slowly along the passage.
He walked forward at least a hundred steps,
But the road is still not over yet.
Judging from the diameter of the tower visually observed from the outside, it is impossible to have such a passage that is hundreds of steps away inside the tower.
But it happened to appear in the iron tower, which was contrary to common sense.
Another hundred steps forward,
White light began to appear at the end of the passage, and the blue-grey wall at the end went horizontally, forming a folded corner in the straight forward passage.
As Fang Gan walked around the corner, his vision suddenly opened up.
After the passage, rows of cells made of thick green bricks were arranged on both sides, extending into the depths of darkness. In front of each cell, there was an iron door wrapped with heavy chains and floating mysterious inscriptions.
There is a grille air outlet on the iron door that is no larger than the mouth of a bowl.
Through the grille, it was difficult to see clearly what was going on inside. The cell was shrouded in darkness, and it was unknown whether there were people or "guilty" being imprisoned in it.
In the open area in the middle, there are several desks and chairs that are incompatible with the primitive and gloomy environment of the prison.
There are some folders scattered on the table and several laptops used to record documents.
At this time, two people wearing black jacket uniforms were sitting at the desk.
Although the two of them were in the office area, they were not doing anything serious.
One person is holding a mobile phone and watching a horror movie;
One person kept tapping the screen with his finger, and it looked like he was playing a game.
In the side corner, there is a long-haired woman with her hands tied to chains with floating mysterious inscriptions, standing quietly.
Her hair obscured her face,
Her description is unclear.
When Fang Qian walked in, the long-haired woman was the first to notice him. She raised her head, her hair spread to both sides, revealing a pale face.
There was not much color on this face, but its delicate facial features gave it a different kind of beauty.
Until the woman raised her head and stared at Fang Gan for a few seconds,
The two people who were playing on their mobile phones discovered Fang Qian's arrival.
They quickly put away their mobile phones, stood up in a hurry, and greeted Fang Gan: "Inspection."
"Is she Yun Nishang sent by Cui Xun?" Fang Gan didn't care about the work attitude of these two people. They could still maintain a good attitude even in long-term contact with prisoners who often showed all kinds of crazy and terrifying appearances. And the mood of fishing at work is already very good.
At least it shows that these two jailers are still normal people, and their mentality has not been contaminated by prisoners in a repressive environment.
"Yes. She is Yun Nishang." A jailer nodded in response, "Do you want to start questioning now?"
"Not in a hurry."
Fang Gan shook his head, pointed at Yun Nishang and said, "Give her a chair and let her sit and talk."
"Okay." Another jailer hurriedly moved to bring a chair.
Yun Nishang, who was already suffering because of the lack of blood in her body, had to stand for a long time in shackles, finally felt slightly relaxed because of this chair.
“Go check the prison.
I remember that recently there were three Tricksters who were about to resurrect themselves and were imprisoned in a cell, right? See how they are doing,
Talk to them and watch movies. "Fang Gan opened his mouth and was about to send the two jailers away.
The two jailers smiled and did not have any objections. After answering repeatedly, they went to inspect the cells.
"Ms. Yun."
Fang Gan looked at Yun Nishang who was sitting, and pulled a chair for himself, sat down opposite her, and said with a smile: "The disciplinary team has filed three charges against you:
First, they claim that you colluded with outsiders to kill your comrades.
Second, they claim you are plotting to steal the power of the Hell.
Third, they claimed that you were shielding criminals and refused to reveal specific information about the outsider’s controller, ‘Su Wu’.
Do you admit to these three crimes? "
Yun Nishang's face was expressionless and she didn't respond to Fang Gan's words at all.
"Someone has now locked down the specific residence of 'Su Wu' and started sending people to his residence to closely monitor this person.
Ms. Yun, your persistence is meaningless. "Fang Qian stared at Yun Nishang and said softly, "What is it about Su Wu that makes you unwilling to reveal the slightest information about him even in this situation?
Do you have such a good relationship?
However, according to the investigation data, the two of you have not had any intersection before. It was only because of the strange incident in Longshan Collection that you met.
Why bother?
To make such a huge sacrifice for someone you just met by chance? "
When Yun Nishang heard that Fang Qian said that "someone has now targeted Su Wu's residence," her eyes trembled, and her expression could not hide her guilt.
She bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth and still said nothing.
"I understand."
Looking at Yun Nishang's expression, Fang Qian suddenly realized and said: "Actually, you also know that your insistence on not revealing Su Wu's information will not prevent him from being found.
To avoid being ‘disturbed’.
It's just that you are still a little naive,
I have become a master of tricks, but I still want to stick to the bottom line and be conscientious.
So insist on keeping it tight-lipped.
Is it right? "
Hearing this, Yun Nishang raised her head and glanced at him.
"But this is meaningless." Fang Qian smiled gently and shook his head, "When they find Su Wu, they only need to tell Su Wu that it was the clues you provided that led to his whereabouts being exposed and arrested.
Do you think that in his eyes you are still a person with a bottom line and a conscience? "
He spoke slowly, with a kind face and gentle tone.
The words he spoke were like the most vicious and insidious words uttered by the devil.
Listening to Fang Gan's words, Yun Nishang's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and large masses of abnormal blood surged on her pale face - the chains wrapped around her hands made her skin and bones creak!
"You bastard!"
"There are no normal people coming out of your prison!"
"I really regret-"
"You realize you regret it now?
You should have regretted it long ago! Fang Gan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, "If you hadn't returned to the Countermeasures Department office so honestly,
Not so obediently waiting for questioning,
Will you end up like this? You still have room to escape.
There is even a chance to turn the situation around.
But you are so honest and well-behaved..."
"What do you know!"
Yun Nishang roared sharply, her expression not resembling a human being: "I'm here for——"
As soon as she said a few words, she suddenly seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and the ferocious expression on her face suddenly disappeared.
Became suddenly cold.
She remained silent.
I feel like those ideals of my own,
What I thought was the overall situation was actually ridiculously stupid and hypocritical.
So, she calmed down for a moment, looked at Fang Qian, nodded and said, "You're right."
Fang Qian looked at her for a few seconds.
Suddenly he grinned: "It seems you have understood something.
This is right.
If a finger is gangrenous, the best response is to cut it off rather than to preserve it and keep it looking good overall.
A piece of meat should also be removed if it is rotten.
Rather than smearing it over to make it look good.
You seem to have understood this truth?
If you understand,
I'll show you two ways. "
Yun Nishang looked at him silently.
"First, you stay in the Iron Tower Mountain Prison from now on and don't go out." Fang Gan stretched out a finger and said.
"Those imprisoned in the prison will become criminals in the future." Yun Nishang said.
Fang Gan spread his hands: "You just don't understand the concept.
How can those who manage prisoners be confused with prisoners?
Are those two jailers just abnormal?
Don’t confuse them with those of us who manage prisoners just because you have come into contact with a few prisoners who came out of the prison..."
"Since you don't want to choose this,
There is a second way.
How about I make some disguises for you and arrange for you and my brother, Fang Yuan, to spy on Su Wu? "
Monitor Su Wu?
Looking at Fang Gan's eyes, Yun Nishang fell silent.
She actually vaguely guessed something in her heart.
But after careful consideration, it is impossible to really break through the window paper and see the light through the fog.
"My brother is an ordinary person.
The ghost rider he previously partnered with was a prisoner from the Ghost Prison.
This person has now been polluted by the Ghost Prison and is likely to become a 'sex offender'. He is bisexual.
I think it is already very unsafe for Fang Yuan to partner with him.
So I disguise you and replace him to monitor Su Wu with Fang Yuan - what do you think?"
"I choose this."
She quickly went over Fang Gan's words in her mind.
Yun Nishang suddenly realized something.
When the other party's words fell, she had already nodded and made a choice.
"Okay.
I originally hoped that you would choose the second one.
After all, you have had contact before and are already familiar with each other." Fang Gan smiled and looked in a good mood.
He stood up and turned sideways to Yun Nishang.
Then he said, "Wait a minute. I'll bring Xu Jin out and help you complete your disguise."
As he spoke, a cold and strange aura suddenly surged around Fang Gan, and a layer of white paper appeared from under his feet, spreading out around him, and instantly brought Yun Nishang into this 'white paper ghost den'!
In the white paper ghost den, there were paper crosses.
Many crosses were empty, and there was only one cross, where a person was constantly wriggling and struggling.
The man looked very casual,
his face was ferocious, and a pair of pale arms rushed out of his eyes, constantly tearing the paper shackles that were wrapped around his limbs.
But every time the shackles were torn open, a cold and strange aura would come again, tying him up again.
"Xu Jin!"
Fang Gan waved to the person on the cross.
The cross was instantly dragged by an invisible force and brought to Fang Gan's front.
Xu Jin, who had a ferocious look on his face and cursed viciously just now, shuddered suddenly when he heard Fang Gan's voice!
When he appeared in front of Fang Gan, the ferocity on his face had long disappeared.
Only great fear remained!
Although Fang Gan on the opposite side was looking at him with a smile, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, trembling all over, unable to control himself!
"Captain, Captain..."
Xu Jin trembled and spoke.
"Ah." Fang Gan nodded, and a drawing board appeared in front of him.
He held a tray filled with various oil paints: "Xu Jin, I plan to let this lady Yun replace you and complete a task with Fang Yuan.
What do you think?"
"Replace me?" Xu Jin's eyes were horrified, "Then where should I go?"
"Of course you will replace this lady and stay in the strange prison." Fang Gan began to sketch on the drawing board. He stared at the drawing board intently and whispered, "You are now, the evil in your body is about to revive, and you are too deeply polluted by the memory of the crime.
When you were in Mingzhou, Fang Yuan gave you five warnings.
The first warning was for pinching the buttocks of young girls,
The second warning was for beating sex workers,
The third...
Xu Jin, your situation is getting worse and worse.
If you don't put it in closed confinement, I'm afraid you will make a big mistake."
"Closed confinement..."
Hearing Fang Gan mention "closed confinement", Xu Jin's face became excited: "You are not a person who can do anything." This is a revenge for a personal vendetta!
Because I surrendered to Xiao Xuncha and no longer follow you, so you want to use this method to punish me. If Xiao Xuncha knew about it..."
"How dare you brazenly say in front of me that you are a traitor?
Being a traitor is nothing.
But because you want to be a traitor, you almost killed a vice captain who has a ghost. "Fang Gan stopped the brush in his hand and looked at Xu Jin, "So whether it is public or private, I lock you in the strange prison, what's wrong with that?"
"Xiao Xuncha will help me!"
"He just lost his son, probably he is not in the mood to help you-a fool like you is a disposable consumable for him.
Using you as a consumable, he has greatly reduced the combat power of a vice captain who has a ghost, and his goal has been achieved.
Then why did he risk breaking up with me and take you away?" Fang Gan continued to sketch on the drawing board.
"You used to be our captain,
You also joined the Guiyu—if you can do it, why can't we?!" Xu Jin's eyes turned red.
Fang Gan finished sketching the picture.
He put down his brush and took a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing and mask-like paper from the drawing board.
There seemed to be some oil rendering on the paper.
Holding the thin paper in both hands, Fang Gan walked to the cross that bound Xu Jin and sighed: "So, you don't understand anything at all..."
The mask-like paper was gently attached to Xu Jin's face.
Xu Jin struggled violently.
Fang Gan kept stroking the paper covering his face with both hands, and the paper gradually became the same as the skin color of a person.
The facial features were highlighted on it.
The paper continued to spread around Xu Jin's body.
Xu Jin's chest gradually rose, and his body frame became slender.
A minute later,
his long hair fluttered,
and he looked the same as Yun Nishang.
His eyes were chaotic, and he no longer had the vitality of struggling desperately before.
Swish, swish, swish…
A layer of dark yellow skin peeled off from the beauty and was picked up by Fang Gan. He handed the dark yellow skin to the real Yun Nishang: "If you want to imitate Xu Jin, you don't need to go through so much trouble. Just wear his skin.
You still have to pay attention to expression management and don't show off your feminine side casually. "
…
Su Wu's consciousness slowly returned.
He did his 'homework' for an hour in the Chaotic Void today.
Crush nearly a hundred evil humanoids.
But after smashing so many sinful human figures, only one inscription '狋' was condensed.
It seems that the extension of the mysterious inscriptions is random. It does not mean that the same number of mysterious inscriptions will be condensed according to the number of evil humanoids smashed.
Su Wu rolled up the pencil drawings on the wall and put them into a safe.
He turned his thoughts around at will,
The shadows under his feet were boiling from time to time, and suddenly a person stood up, wrapping him into a dark human shape.
Su Wu's "meaning" moved the hand of the zombie ghost,
As a result, the thick black liquid covering his shoulders boiled, and two dragon heads extended out.
A strong strange rhyme gathered in the dragon's mouth.
As long as Su Wu has a thought, they can spray out surging 'dragon breath'!
The beast-shaped fist that Su Wu learned before did not include the 'dragon shape'. Using the beast-shaped fist to control the hands of the zombie ghost only added the melee application of the zombie ghost's hands.
But now, after condensing the 'Dragon Ring' countless times, Su Wu's intention can be involved in the hands of the corpse ghost, causing it to evolve into a 'dragon shape'.
The 'dragon breath' sprayed out is no longer a melee application.
But a long-range attack!
'Dragon's Breath' can instantly cover the enemy and suppress the enemy's charm. A weak trickster is likely to be completely restrained and unable to move after receiving a breath of dragon's breath!
Su Wu became familiar with the use of dragon shapes.
Soon all the charm was taken back into the body and became ordinary.
He opened the study door and walked into the living room.
I went to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator. While I was drinking water, there was a knock on the door.
Through the peephole at the door, Su Wu saw Shen Hao standing outside.
Then he opened the door.
"Let's go, let's eat the big bones!"
Shen Hao held the car keys in his hand. When he saw Su Wu at the door, he was about to pull him out. Su Wu responded, turned around, locked the door, and followed Shen Hao to the elevator downstairs.
After leaving the community,
I went to start the car.
Su Wu followed behind and looked at the surrounding environment.
In the past few years, there have been some changes around this community.
Some shops have been relocated.
Some restaurants closed down.
Next to the hardware store outside the gate of the community, a new lottery shop opened.
The lottery shop has set up an awning outside, arranged several rows of tables and chairs, and is using speakers to play the slogan "Scratch-Off" to attract people to buy scratch-offs.
But now the front door of the lottery shop is crowded.
No one went to scratch the prizes or buy lottery tickets inside.
Su Wu remembered that Zhou Yang had asked him to help buy a few lottery tickets before, and walked towards the lottery shop.
Shen Hao drove the car over and followed Su Wu into the store.
In the lottery shop.
The store owner, who looked polite and slim, was holding an electric kettle and pouring water into a bowl of instant noodles of an unknown brand.
As the water poured into the bowl, an appetite-stimulating aroma spread throughout the shop.
Shen Hao, who was following Su Wu, smelled the aroma and his nose twitched. He couldn't help but ask the shop owner: "Boss, what kind of instant noodles are these? It smells so good."
"Hexiang.
We are an old local brand, don’t you know? "The shop owner replied with a smile, put down the kettle and put the instant noodle bowl aside.
He turned to Su Wu and asked, "Do you want to buy lottery tickets?
Or scratch tickets or something? "
"Buy ten lottery tickets." Su Wu answered and reported a series of numbers, "06, 17, 09, 24, 03, 05..."
As he spoke, the machine started playing lottery tickets.
The lottery machine spits out lottery tickets one by one.
The shop owner folded the lottery tickets and handed them to Su Wu: "I wish you good luck."
Su Wu smiled and turned around to leave.
At this time,
He heard a rustling sound in the small cubicle on the side of the store, as if someone was about to come out of it.
So I looked in that direction.
Plop!
There was the sound of someone falling to the ground in the compartment.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Hearing this voice, the store owner quickly stood up, walked around the counter, and ran to the compartment.
In the cubicle, there was no movement after the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Even the store owner didn't make a sound when he walked inside.
"Tsk... You have a wife, but you can only eat instant noodles?" At this time, Shen Hao looked at the instant noodle bowl on the shop owner's computer table and said with emotion.
Su Wu's eyes fell on the half-open bowl of instant noodles.
The strange fragrance that makes one's index fingers twitch is lingering in the nostrils again.
"gone."
He didn't notice anything unusual, so he put the lottery ticket into his arms.
Step out of this lottery shop with Shen Hao.
