Roster of Demons

Liang Haoren's plan is currently the only feasible one. Gu Zhen pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of an alternative plan, so he could only agree to it in the end.

He was a little nervous, always thinking about the best route to sneak in, barely slept at night, and went for a morning run before dawn the next day.

After running and taking a shower and going out, I just received a message from Liang Haoren.

Liang Haoren: All units pay attention, all units pay attention, the target person has left the house, please be ready to follow up!

Gu Zhen: Received.

Liang Zhenguo and Liang Haoren were already on their way to the old convenience center. Gu Zhen adjusted his mentality and started the car to go out.His task is to delay as much as possible before Liang Zhenguo goes on duty, so as to create opportunities for Liang Haoren to replace the bracelet.

It should be him who turned his back. Early in the morning, there was a car accident on the main road, and Gu Zhen's car was stuck in the traffic flow.

Liang Haoren: All units pay attention, all units pay attention, the target person is three kilometers away from the target building, and will arrive within 10 minutes by visual inspection.

Gu Zhen: Traffic jam, you delay.

Liang Haoren: How long will it take?

Gu Zhen: About 15 minutes, hold on.

In fact, 15 minutes is not enough at all, depending on the posture, at least half an hour should be blocked.Gu Zhen was in a hurry, and kept pushing and pulling with her fingers on the steering wheel, but there was nothing she could do.

Following the traffic flow for a further ten meters, Gu Zhen's car moved to the entrance of a large supermarket parking lot. Without hesitation, he turned the steering wheel and entered the underground garage, then rented a bicycle on the side of the road , like stepping on a hot wheel, slipping through the gaps in traffic.

Ten minutes later, he propped his hands on the front desk on the B10 floor, gasping for breath: "See, Team Leader Liang, have you?"

The girl at the front desk pointed in the direction of Fu Xueyuan's office: "Team Leader Liang and his son are inside."

Gu Zhen secretly thought it was not good, could it be that Liang Haoren was discovered?

"Do you know what's going on?" Gu Zhen asked.

The girl at the front desk handed him a tissue and shook her head.

Gu Zhen took it, thanked him, and moved to Fu Xueyuan's office while wiping his sweat.

The door was ajar, and smoke kept coming out from inside. Standing at the door, one could hear the vague conversation between Fu Xueyuan and Liang Zhenguo.

Gu Zhen leaned against the crack of the door and carefully peeked inside.From his perspective, he could see Liang Zhenguo and his son sitting side by side at Fu Xueyuan's desk.

Liang Zhenguo lit a cigarette, put one hand by the ashtray, and rested the other on the edge of the table, smoking and chatting with Fu Xueyuan.

Liang Haoren stared intently at the two elders, with the false innocence of a 19-year-old boy on his face, but his hands were dishonest, and he carefully removed the keychain on Liang Zhenguo's back waist.

The identity bracelet was hung on the keychain. Seeing that the buckle was about to be opened, Liang Zhenguo moved, and Liang Haoren hurriedly pinched the bracelet with two fingers to avoid making abnormal noises when it collided with the key.

Gu Zhen sweated for him.

Liang Zhenguo adjusted his posture, shook the cigarette ash, and continued talking.

Liang Haoren slowly took off the bracelet and replaced it with his own.

"...Okay, I think Haoren is quite sensible, so don't worry too much." Fu Xueyuan took the last puff of his cigarette and extinguished the butt of his cigarette in the ashtray.

"I hope." Liang Zhenguo also took a deep breath, put out the cigarette butt and stood up, "I'm leaving, I'm on duty."

Liang Haoren's bracelet hung on the keychain, precariously.

Gu Zhen felt anxious and pushed open the door: "Uncle!"

Fu Xueyuan and Liang Zhenguo turned their heads at the same time, Liang Haoren took the opportunity to press the buckle, and the bracelet was firmly hung on the keychain.

"Ah, Team Leader Liang and the mouse are both here." Gu Zhen asked knowingly.

"Huh?" Fu Xueyuan frowned and nodded at him, "It's impolite to come in without knocking. What do you want from me?"

Liang Haoren secretly gestured an OK gesture to Gu Zhen.

"It's okay." Gu Zhen said, "I haven't seen you since I returned to the city. It's weird."

"I'm busy with the meeting, I have to go out later." Fu Xueyuan said, "Don't be like your mother, she's so gross. If you have nothing to do, get out of here."

"Oh." Gu Zhen made a standard turn backwards, then kicked forward and walked out.

Afterwards, Fu Xueyuan couldn't help but sighed to Liang Zhenguo: "My nephew, if he is half as sensible as someone from your family, I will be relieved..."

With the identity bracelet, the plan is half successful, and Gu Zhen feels more at ease.

He went to Fu Xiaozi's office to sign in, received the patrol task for the day, and then hid in the men's bathroom while no one was paying attention.

After a while, Liang Haoren's sneaky voice sounded at the door: "Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen, are you there?"

"Don't shout, save face." Gu Zhen came out from the innermost compartment pinching his nose, checked the compartments one by one, and made sure that there was no one there, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Where's your dad?"

"He's on duty!" Liang Haoren patted Gu Zhen excitedly, "His elevator is next to the tea room today, and the person on duty just passed by there, and now he's going upstairs, so it's just right for us to go there now."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go." Liang Haoren's strength was not small, and Gu Zhen walked out while rubbing his shoulders.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhen!" Liang Haoren stopped Gu Zhen, "You can't walk like this, you'll be recognized by others at a glance. You have to be like me—watch out."

Liang Haoren said, swaggered out of the toilet, and passed the doors of several special operations team offices with his usual expression.

After arriving at the tea room, he turned around and made a face at Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen could only bite the bullet and keep up.

"Get ready." After Gu Zhen also arrived in the tea room, Liang Haoren took out his bracelet and approached the sensor screen of the quasi-elevator.

"Yeah." Gu Zhen nodded.

He was tense for a moment.If there was just one person standing in the elevator, it would be the end of both of them.

The bracelet was verified successfully, and a slight "beep" sound was issued, and the elevator door opened.

Very well, the car is empty.

Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Haoren stepped into the car first, and pressed the button of B15: "Brother Zhen, come in quickly."

Gu Zhen stepped in.

The elevator door closed behind him, and it descended slowly as the machinery moved.

"Do you think our journey will be too easy?" Gu Zhen stared at the screen.

The numbers jumped one by one, and he felt a little uneasy.

"That's because we weren't caught." Liang Haoren leaned against the wall of the box, playing with the bracelet, "You won't find it easy if you're caught."

"It seems to make sense." Gu Zhen smiled.

While speaking, the number on the display jumped to B15, and the elevator stopped.Although Liang Haoren was in a good mood, he straightened his back and stood firm at this time.

"Is it here?" Gu Zhen seemed to be asking Liang Haoren, as well as himself.

After the initial shock, both of them calmed down and stepped out of the elevator one after another.

The B15 floor in front of me is different from what I imagined.

There is no reinforced concrete, and no formation mechanism.There is only a dark hole with a diameter of more than two meters facing the elevator.

"The entrance of the earth veins?" Liang Haoren sized it up curiously, and touched the cave wall with his palm, "It's so cold."

Gu Zhen turned on the phone's built-in flashlight and took a photo into the cave: "Go in and have a look."

Liang Haoren also turned on the flashlight.

The elevator doors closed behind him, leaving only the faint light of two flashlights around.

The two walked into the depths of the cave one after the other.

The road was unexpectedly long, and I didn't come to the end after walking for nearly 10 minutes.

"Have we been tricked by Liang Zhenguo?" Liang Haoren exhaled white mist, "The temperature here is so low."

Gu Zhen didn't answer the call, he found something on the wall of the cave: "Turn off the flashlight."

Liang Haoren turned off the flashlight upon hearing this.

Without the interference of external light, a translucent white streamer gradually emerged on the cave wall, like the reflection of the stream on a summer night.

"It seems to be moving!" Liang Haoren seemed to jump up excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent.

Gu Zhen was also a little excited: "Let's go!"

The two quickened their pace, and as they went deeper, the bright white streamer became more and more intense, not only attached to the cave wall, but also seemed to be floating directly in the air, enveloping Gu Liang and the two of them.

"I think so." Gu Zhen spread out his palms, and light flowed through the gaps between his fingertips, "We should already be on the leylines."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and take a picture." Liang Haoren took out his phone, and took ten consecutive shots.

He opened the photo album to check, but the photos were blurred and nothing was captured.He didn't give up, and took another ten pictures in a row.Also can't shoot anything.

"This is too deceitful." Liang Haoren complained, "Don't you think Brother Zhen?"

When he looked up, he found that Gu Zhen was gone.

"Brother Zhen!" Liang Haoren was taken aback, "Brother Zhen, where are you?"

"It's inside." Through the thick streamer, Gu Zhen's voice was so far away that it was unreal, "You don't have to follow, I'll be out soon."

Liang Haoren took a few steps forward.

The more he walked in, the more dazzling the streamer was, his eyes couldn't bear it, so he stopped in place.

"Brother Zhen, be careful!" Liang Haoren shouted.

"Good~"

Gu Zhen's eyes were not feeling well either, and they were crying all the time, but he couldn't care less.The engraved talisman is in the veins, so we must find it quickly.

Gu Zhen touched the leather cord around his neck and pulled the black bone out from under his clothes.

Feng Jue told him that the engraved talisman that affects birds can also affect little crows, but due to the disparity in power, there is a big gap in influence between the two.

The black bone belonged to the little crow, and Gu Zhen could find the engraved talisman through the induction between it and the engraved talisman.

Gu Zhen called out the bone knife and continued walking.

The brightness of the streamer was beyond his tolerance, he closed his eyes and concentrated all his feelings on his hands.

The bone knife trembled slightly.

The glyph is nearby.

Gu Zhen moved carefully, groping in the Liuguang River.

Something floated past her cheek, and Gu Zhen grabbed it by feeling.

Engrave!

A very disgusting feeling gushed out of his chest when he touched the engraved talisman; the bone knife trembled violently, as if it was extremely repulsive.

Gu Zhen was ecstatic, this is it!

He suppressed the feeling of nausea welling up in his heart, and walked in the same direction as he turned around.

The power from the depths of the leylines dragged on the engraved talisman, and Gu Zhen could hardly hold it.

"Brother Zhen~Brother Zhen~Where are you~ Come back soon~"

Liang Haoren's voice came from a distance, Gu Zhen gritted his teeth, put his spiritual power into the bone knife, and swiped behind him with his backhand.

The knife seemed to have an effect, Gu Zhen only felt a light touch in his hand, and the dragging force disappeared temporarily.He didn't dare to delay, and ran away.

Seeing Liang Haoren's shadow from afar, Gu Zhen shouted, "Run!"

Liang Haoren's figure paused, but he quickly realized that he turned his head and ran away.

The two ran like desperately, gradually leaving Liu Guang behind.

Visibility in the cave decreased little by little, and finally fell into complete darkness.Liang Haoren turned on the flashlight while running, and almost at the same time he saw the elevator door, he took out his bracelet and swiped it at the sensor screen.

The elevator door opened in response, and the two rushed into the car, slumping on the floor from exhaustion, panting heavily.

Liang Haoren ran all the way inexplicably, and only then came back to his senses and asked, "Brother Zhen, what are we running for?"

"I took this." Gu Zhen laughed twice and spread his palms.

In the palm of his hand lay a black and green engraved talisman, the pattern was distorted, just looking at it was disgusting.

"What the hell is this?" Liang Haoren showed a look of disgust, and stretched out his hand to poke.

"Don't touch it!" Gu Zhen stopped him, "It's not a good thing, don't touch it well."

"Brother Zhen, what are you doing with it?" Liang Haoren withdrew his hand and wiped his clothes, "Don't keep it, throw it away."

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later." Gu Zhen responded, and put the engraved talisman on the floor, "Get out of the way."

Liang Haoren squeezed to the corner of the car.

Gu Zhen grasped the handle of the bone knife with strength in both hands, raised it high, and then aimed at the center of the engraved talisman and smashed it down hard.

The black and green engraved talisman made a rattling sound, and cracks appeared on it.

Gu Zhen raised the bone knife and smashed it again. This time, the engraved talisman broke into several pieces.

The black-green color dimmed, turning into a pool of useless ashes, swept away by the wind blown by the elevator.

"It's done." Gu Zhen finally relaxed after finishing one thing on his mind.

He leaned against the wall of the box, slowly regaining his strength.

Liang Haoren also sat down beside him, turned his head to look at Gu Zhen, and pointed to his nose.

"Brother Zhen," Liang Haoren gestured, "You have a nosebleed."

"It's okay." Gu Zhen said, "It's just a nosebleed."

Gu Zhen didn't care too much and wiped the bottom of her nose, touching the blood with her hands.
