depicting time

They hugged each other for a while, silently pouring out their thoughts on each other.

Time is at a standstill at this time, and the surrounding noises are blocked, and no one can disturb them.

There was a wind on the mountain, and suddenly a bell rang.

Xu Yan came out of Song Ting's arms and followed the sound.The clear ringing sound comes from a brass bell held by a child. He was carried by his parents to the foot of the mountain, and the ringing sounded continuously along the way.

Song Ting turned his head back before regaining his attention, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

He was too sensitive to the ringtone, and always felt that the sound was guiding something.Actually not.

Song Ting faced the gazebo, and beckoned the other two team members to come over.When Fu Ye and Gu Manwen came, they both called out to the boss.

The identities of the four of them were clarified at once.

Fu Ye said, "Boss, I have already told the tour guide, you can go up the mountain with us."

Song Ting looked in the direction of the gazebo again, and those people who were eating melons immediately turned their eyes back. Song Ting looked around and confirmed that there were no people with strange behaviors, and then replied,

"it is good."

The vegetation on the top of the mountain is lush, but only the thousand-year-old banyan tree attracts many tourists.

Under Song Ting's guidance, Xu Yan climbed to the top of the mountain with difficulty... Yunsi Mountain is not high, it's because his physical strength is too weak.Hearing the panting of the two team members behind him, he felt a little relieved.

Following the tour guide in front, their group of tour groups also gathered in front of the big banyan tree.

There are two purposes for going up the mountain this time, one is to lure the fragments of time and space down the mountain, and the other is to find out the situation on the top of Yunsi Mountain.

The roots of the thousand-year-old banyan tree are deeply rooted in the soil, and the branches are entwined and extended outwards. In the sky, dense leaves are intertwined, occupying a whole world.Because of folklore, it is approached with a certain awe.Occasionally, someone put their hands on the tree and closed their eyes as if they were meditating.

Xu Yan could tell from their expressions that they were all talking.Some people hope that the deceased will have a happy afterlife, and some hope that the deceased will not forget him...

Others hope that those who are trapped in time can return safely.

They have all come to the end of their hopes and are helpless, so they pray that the god on the mountain can use his infinite power to help them get rid of their suffering.

The space-time fragments flew around these praying people, but never found the people it needed.

Song Ting led Xu Yan and squeezed through the crowd, and stood closest to the banyan tree, but did not bother those who were praying.The space-time fragments finally felt their existence among so many people.

It flew half a circle around the banyan tree and hovered over Song Ting's shoulder.The two goals of this trip to the mountain were successfully accomplished.

When the four of them got together again, the tour guide also shouted to go down the mountain.

The descent was changed to a cable car, and we returned to the foot of the mountain in less than 10 minutes.Song Ting rented a homestay near the scenic spot. When they got there, they realized that the homestay was actually a small villa with a very good privacy.

This space-time mission took too much time on the road, Song Ting urged the team members to quickly change their outfits, and gathered in the hall after 5 minutes.

Fu Ye was surprised by the results of the measuring device. He repeatedly confirmed the data on the display screen and reported to the team leader, "The space is wide, and there are... 12 people!"

Gu Manwen took a deep breath, "With so many people, searching for information will exhaust us to death."

Song Ting took out the elderly phone and sent a text message, "I have already reported the number of people to the captain of the rescue team in Area C, and they will know how to deal with it, so don't panic." He carefully examined the expressions of each team member, and there was no Too much panic, he ordered, "Get ready to go in, close your eyes, 3, 2, 1."

The four space-time restorers disappeared in a hidden space, and the rescue team from Area C came to Yunsi Mountain early to wait. When Song Ting's news reached the captain's mobile phone, he immediately issued an order, "There are beasts on the mountain." In the name of haunting, quickly block Yunsi Mountain."

Yunsi Mountain in autumn is no longer as vibrant as in spring.

The setting sun shrouded the mountains and forests, but the dead silence surrounded the creatures here.

The moment they opened their eyes, they stood under the banyan tree.Going back another ten years, it is still a thousand-year-old tree, and there are still people praying and talking here.

Twelve people, all standing under the banyan tree.Only two people put their hands on the tree, and the others seemed to be watching.

There are so many people, Song Ting must make a clear division of labor, "Fu Ye and I are in charge of the body search, Gu Manwen, you survey the situation of the whole mountain as quickly as possible, Xu Yan, you come to observe everyone's expressions, so many people are too easy to forget , you need to record yourself."

"Fu Ye, give him the electronic notebook."

Fu Ye quickly took out the notebook from the tool bag and handed it to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan flew up and stood directly beside the two people on the innermost side.They all had their eyes closed and stood very close to each other. Xu Yan saw their arms tightly pressed together, and seemed to be short of courage, and they wanted to hold hands in full view.

Looking at their expressions, they are not complicated but very similar.

Guilt, anticipation, and a sense that a burden is about to be let go.If they were a couple, Xu Yan would feel that they, who were ten years ago, were overcoming a hurdle in love.

Xu Yan didn't write many words in the notebook, and quickly walked to the outside.

These people were much weirder than the two inside, and Xu Yan's first impression of them was that they had a strong purpose.

And the expressions of these ten people are also very unified... They are watching for an opportunity.As a result, Xu Yan had a doubt, were they looking at trees or people?

There were only slight differences among the ten people. Xu Yan looked at each of them and recorded them slowly. It took a long time to complete the observation.

He flew into the air, observing the scene in front of him from the perspective of a bystander... the feeling of weirdness became stronger and stronger.

Song Ting also said that people who can be in a space-time fragment must be related.Then there may be no possibility of onlookers watching trees.

There are twelve people, two of them are bystanders, and ten are bystanders. What does this situation point to?

Fu Ye's metal scanner rang on one person. He searched all the way but found nothing useful. This time he thought he could find a mobile phone...

However, he found a fruit knife from the inside pocket of the man's coat.

Fu Ye's eyes widened in shock. This was the first time he saw dangerous equipment in space-time fragments, "Team leader! This man has a knife on him!"

Song Ting took this fruit knife. The brand-new scabbard wrapped the sharp blade. It was more than enough for cutting fruit, and it was enough for killing people.

"Continue to search to see if anyone else has a hidden knife."

"Yes."

Fu Ye then used the metal scanner to search the rest of the people. Xu Yan came down from the air and told Song Ting what he had guessed, "Team leader, I suspect that the ten people standing here are going to murder the two people inside in full view. people."

"En." Song Ting's expression became more serious. "We only found mobile phones and ID cards on two people at the same time. The other ten people were carrying heavy travel bags, but did not bring mobile phones..."

If the time goes back 100 years, no one will go out without a mobile phone... Therefore, the behavior of these ten people is very abnormal.

Song Ting had a handful of ID cards in his hand, but he only handed over the ID cards of the two people on the inside to Xu Yan, "Besides them, the others probably used fake identities, so Fu Ye needs to verify them."

"it is good."

Xu Yan first confirmed their identities by looking at the profiles of the two people beside the tree.

The one who wears suits and leather shoes when traveling is named Qin Shude. He was born in 1991 and his household registration is in District A.

And the other one, Gao Yu, Xu Yan identified him as a college student from the very beginning, and his birth date shown on his ID card was 2006, so he was indeed a college student in his 20s.

Fu Ye over there found the same fruit knife from another person, and handed it to the group leader together.Song Ting ignored the two knives for the time being, and asked Fu Ye to screen the information in the two mobile phones first.

Gu Manwen rushed back in time and reported that the result of the survey was still nothing.

She looked over the crowd and only stared at the two people inside, "My God, it's actually another male and female couple!"

Gu Manwen's GAY radar never disappoints. Xu Yan didn't confirm it through mobile phone information, and also regarded the two as a couple by default in his heart.

Xu Yan added to her, "They are 15 years apart."

"Wow! It's still the same age! I want to see their ID cards!" The two people who were stopped could only see their faces clearly. In order to satisfy her curiosity, Gu Manwen had to look at the photo on the ID card.

"They all look good..."

In front of the team leader, she didn't dare to mess around with CP, so she asked Xu Yan tactfully, "Is the relationship between the two of them okay?"

After Ge Xiao CP, Gu Manwen became cautious.

Xu Yan replied, "There is no major problem with their relationship." There were conflicts between Qin Shude and Gao Yu, but it did not affect their relationship.The character traits that Xu Yan wrote down for the two of them are—the elder: perfectionist, occasionally rigid, and very specific in feelings.Young people: impulsive, love to play, dare to love and hate.

Such two people must have constant conflicts together, and they need to constantly compromise for each other in order to find a harmonious balance.Just like at this moment of being static, they are all contradictory in their hearts, but they are all compromising for each other... They came to this Yunsi Mountain together, hoping to gain a common sense of relief.

While Fu Ye was busy sifting through the information, he told Gu Manwen another fact, "But his safety is seriously in question..."

"Did you see the knife in the leader's hand? It was found from those people outside."

Gu Manwen's reaction was very surprised, her wide-eyed expression was exactly the same as that of Fu Ye just now, "... He, are they going to kill someone?"

A couple, ten strange men with two fruit knives... If it was really a murder, what was their motive?

As Xu Yan thought about it, Gu Manwen also raised doubts, "They don't look like they have any enemies...why did they kill people?"

Song Ting returned to the crowd and carefully examined the physical condition of the ten people. Excluding a few with big bellies, there was no one who was physically strong...

He came back and analyzed, "The possibility of vendetta killing can be ruled out from their demeanor, and the possibility of buying murder can also be ruled out from their body shape... The only reason I can think of for gathering people to kill people is cult activities."

Hearing about the cult, the faces of the three team members changed drastically.
