Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

Southwest China, Feilin Town.

When Sun Zhan walked out of the duty room, the electronic watch on his wrist showed the time at 04:30 in the morning.In half an hour, someone will come to take his shift.

Looking up at the mountains, the forest and the dark night are almost integrated, but there are lights on the ridge, like a glowing long snake, entrenched among the steep mountains.

Those shiny barriers are protective nets built on the border. In layman's terms, they are fences made of steel and high-voltage barbed wire, covered with cameras and vibration sensors.When the protective net is climbed or touched, the camera and siren will send out an alarm at the first time.

Feilin Town has a large area of ​​undeveloped mountain forest.Standing alone in the duty room late at night, Sun Zhan should have felt a little lonely.But those dazzling lights worked day and night with him, and there were a group of people behind the surveillance cameras of each protective net to monitor in real time... Thinking of these, Sun Zhan has nothing to be afraid of.

He is a lower-level awakener, and it has been three years since he was dispatched to this border town after completing the awakener registration.His job task is to stick to the sentry post, and most of the time he is idle and has nothing to do.Although the day and night shifts brought him some burdens, fortunately, he has enough colleagues and the salary of this job is good enough, so generally speaking, there is nothing to be picky about.

He spent the last half hour waiting for a twilight in the distant sky.

Although the shift schedule is fixed throughout the year, as the seasons change, Sun Zhan can sometimes see the sunrise before finishing the evening shift.

A sunrise would brighten his mood.

Sun Zhan raised his hand with a smile, and blew a long whistle softly towards the empty mountains.

Fluttering, the soft sound of birds flapping their wings came from the forest.Countless gray, tiny shadows of birds flew from every corner of the ridge—almost invisible in the night, but outlined in the morning light of sunrise.Their wings are light and thin, as if they were folded out of paper, but their posture in the air is very stable.These flying shadows gradually gathered together, and then along Sun Zhan's arm, slowly merged into the shadow behind him.

Sun Zhan's talent is "Shadow Splitting". His shadow has almost no lethality, but it can be transformed into various forms, regardless of the upper limit of the number.With this talent, he is the perfect sentinel.

Didi, the terminal on the wrist rang.

A soft and sweet female voice sounded.

"The current time is five o'clock in the morning. Your shift time has come. Thank you for your contribution to the cause of border protection. Your next shift is scheduled for two days later. It is recommended that you scientifically plan your work and rest during the rest period and keep Be happy. Goodbye."

Sun Zhan clicked OK on the terminal.

He is different from the general border soldiers, he is an awakened person sent directly to the unit after being assessed by the Hall of Gods, so there is a terminal specially provided by the Hall of Gods, and any special things can be reported directly through the terminal.

Sun Zhan has always thought that the terminal is awesome, with a virtual projection screen, and even intelligent AI—a real intelligent assistant, not the kind of artificial mental retardation—this is almost a high-tech product beyond the understanding of ordinary people .

Not everyone has this stuff.

The Shrine Hall three years ago is not the same as the Shrine Hall three years later.Now it is not as easy as before to get the direct management of the Hall of Gods like him.These terminals also send one less one.

Sun Zhan cleared his throat and talked to the terminal:

"Where's that kid Ji Shiqing? Can I be late for the day shift?" Ji Shiqing is Sun Zhan's colleague and the person who will replace him next.

Under normal circumstances, the intelligent AI will call or send a message to Ji Shiqing at this time, reminding him to come over and take over.

But today, the AI ​​was only silent for half a minute, and then updated a new message.

"The latest notice. Mr. Ji Shiqing has participated in the temporary recruitment of the Sixth Army at 27:[-] today, and has other tasks to perform. At present, the reserves of awakened people in the three towns of Feilin, Dielan, and Qiya are insufficient. Please, Mr. Sun Zhan You temporarily extend the duty time for three hours. After three hours, other people will take over your work. In view of the extended working hours, the drone will deliver breakfast supplies to you later, please rest assured to work."

Sun Zhan: "..."

It's been three years, and it's not that temporary overtime has happened, but it's not very frequent.Sun Zhan told the AI ​​assistant familiarly: "I want soy milk for breakfast, not canned coffee."

AI assistant: "OK."

So Sun Zhan sighed, turned and went back to the duty room.

He just took back the shadows he had split out, and he couldn't split them into so many individuals in a short time, otherwise his abilities would be overdrawn.So he couldn't rely on his own shadow to see and hear all directions, so he could only squat behind the monitor to perform his duties.

Breakfast was delivered quickly, it was a bag of soy milk and a box of self-heating sandwiches.The sandwiches are full of ingredients, and the soy milk is also very mellow.Sun Zhan finished his meal hungrily, and then began to focus on two tasks. He projected the screen of the terminal, and clicked on the internal information network of the shrine hall to start searching.

He was a little curious about why his colleagues were recruited into the legion.Ji Shiqing was a few years younger than him, tall, frail-looking, wearing glasses, and not very effective in combat.Why does the Legion need to transfer him?

Sun Zhan was also aware of another rhetoric from the AI ​​just now, "The local awakened people have insufficient talent reserves."

The number of awakened people usually arranged in the three nearby towns is just right. This is the number of people who are determined after estimating various emergencies.There hasn't been any major incidents in Feilin Town recently, so how could there be a sudden shortage of manpower?

Sun Zhan quickly found the answer.

"The Sixth Legion assists the Third Legion in conquering Rock Dragon."

To put it simply, the recently famous Third Legion killed a brontosaurus while fighting against the evil gods, and the rock dragon, as the companion of the brontosaurus, tried to fight back but failed, so he fled underground and happened to arrive at the place where Feilin Town is located. province.

There are many mountains in the southwest, and many towns are placed in the mountains.The power of the rock dragon will have a certain impact on the town.

Sun Zhan frowned slightly.

Forget about other places...

Recently, the Hall of Gods has just issued an order to "renew" the towns within the three towns of Feilin - to change the layout of the towns, the surrounding seals must be released, and the seal stone buried underground in Feilin Town has been dug out half……

This means that the line of defense near Feilin Town is weaker than other lines of defense.

In addition, the rock dragon is running around, what if that rock dragon has no eyes and bumps into a hill in Feilin Town?

Sun Zhan believed that the people in the Shrine Hall, Legion, and Risk Prevention and Control Department could all think of this.Ji Shiqing was temporarily transferred away, either to temporarily strengthen the seal, or to help hunt down Yanlong's whereabouts.

But that means he'd better get 12 points to deal with the work these days.

Three hours later, Sun Zhan and his colleagues handed over the handover smoothly. They went home and slept with their heads covered for ten hours. When they woke up, it was dark again.

He scratched his somewhat messy hair, got up from the bed, and was about to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for himself.As soon as I sat on the edge of the bed, I felt a slight tremor—after a few seconds, the trembling of the bed became bigger and bigger, and all the furniture in the room began to tremble.

What's happening?

earthquake?

Sun Zhan scrambled to the window. As soon as he opened the window, he heard piercing whistles from the street and the screams of the crowd. He could also faintly hear the sound of police sirens in the distance. Which direction did it come from.The two residential buildings closest to him were shaking slightly, and the walls and the ground were making overwhelmed "cracking" sounds.The ground cracked and sank.Dust and all kinds of debris flowed down the cracked gap.And there were several gray spikes rising out of nowhere from the ground, like the back spines of some kind of reptile——

Those spikes were like a paper knife cutting through the paper, knocking down all the buildings blocking the way.

It's Rock Dragon.

Rock dragons are crawling underground.

"!" Sun Zhan immediately realized what was happening in front of him. He turned on the terminal on his wrist and tried to report upwards, but he only got a gentle but ruthless answer from the smart assistant:

"Sorry, the network has been disconnected. Entered personal mode..."

I'm going to die.

Seeing that the cracks on the ground were getting bigger and bigger, two passers-by who were fleeing for their lives almost fell into the huge cracks——

Suddenly, there was a wind blowing from nowhere, weaving it into a giant net, and engulfing the crowd who had no time to escape on the edge of the ground.

Sun Zhan opened his eyes slightly and raised his head.

This is the first time he has captured the shape of the wind.

It turns out that the wind can also leave traces in the air.

The extremely fast wind and sand roll together, rising out of thin air, forming vertical vortices connecting the sky and the earth.The wind was raging, the daylight was fickle, like waves rolling overhead.

The wind bundle was like a long and thin rope, silently climbing up the back spine of the rock dragon, suddenly tightened, and began to pull out silently.

【——】

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

There was a dull and long cry from the ground, which came from some kind of giant beast that ordinary people could not imagine.

The rock dragon in the ground seemed to have sensed something, and the struggle became more intense.

"Ahhhh!"

"Fuck, help, help, the house is about to collapse!"

Just as Sun Zhan was about to climb under the table to avoid danger, he saw that the wind beams floating in the air suddenly shrank and thinned, and the flow speed changed suddenly. layer, and those sharp back spines were also stripped off a few.

The Yanlong roared in pain, and crazily burrowed into the ground like a loach.With such a drill, the ground that was on the verge of collapse gradually stabilized.

The cracks in the ground are like small windows, allowing people to see a corner of the underground world.The rock dragon burrowed into the ground, like a whale diving into the deep sea. Its back, body, and finally its tail all slid down against the cracks in the ground.

The humans who saw this scene couldn't help but stop screaming and hold their breath——

In the face of such a creation, they have lost their words.In other words, I lost the guts to make a sound.

Sun Zhan leaned his back against the wall, caught a glimpse of the scene in the crack of the ground out of the corner of his eye, and broke out in cold sweat.

...Is this the monster the Legion is hunting?

With two beeps, the terminal in Sun Zhan's hand suddenly recovered the signal.

The Shrine Hall sent a notice that the Ninth Legion will continue to pursue the rock dragon, and all awakened people who work or stay in Feilin Town need to participate in helping civilians.

Sun Zhan took a few breaths, looked at the messy room, grabbed the seductive uniform jacket on the ground, opened the door and rushed out.

Countless shadows poured out from the bottom of his feet in all directions—he could use the shadows to observe the surrounding ruins and provide information to the rescue team.

He ran downstairs, and as soon as he turned out of an alley, he saw several soldiers in legionnaires.They wore black combat uniforms and helmets of the same color on their heads.The young officer gathered in the center seems to have a higher rank - his style of painting looks a bit unique, he didn't wear a helmet, but chose to tie his slightly long hair obliquely behind his head.He wore a light gray military uniform over his combat uniform, and the silver tassels on his shoulders flickered with his movements. Matching his calm and light eyebrows, he had a chic temperament.

The supernatural corps is different from the general regular army. The personal style of the high-level officers in the supernatural corps is very strong.Because before they became officers, they were high-level awakeners first.A high-level awakened person often means that individual combat capabilities are extremely strong, and the weapons and equipment needed by each person are also strange, and it is difficult to form a unity.

The young officer gently raised his hand... A gust of wind blew by, and two blue fluorescent butterflies emerged from his palm, flapped their wings and disappeared into the air.

"Our priority is to cooperate with the rescue team." The young officer said, "Stabilize the situation first. Don't forget, we still need to allocate manpower to guard the town."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Ye."

Sun Zhan Yilin: The rank of this young officer is actually lieutenant colonel, equivalent to the second in command in the army!

Young people who can obtain this kind of military rank are undoubtedly the best among the awakened people in China, and I am afraid that they will not be lower than S rank.

Thinking of the wind entangled with Yankong just now, Sun Zhan subconsciously turned his gaze to the palm of that Lieutenant Colonel Ye.

The other party talked to his subordinates again, and when he turned his head, he saw Sun Zhan standing at the entrance of the alley.

The people in the legion stopped communicating, and that Lieutenant Colonel Ye also looked up at Sun Zhan, signaling that he was waiting for Sun Zhan to introduce himself.

Sun Zhan was a little nervous: "Hi everyone, I'm Sun Zhan—an executive sent by the Hall of Gods to Feilin Town, and I'm currently serving as a border guard. Well, I'm also an awakened person. Count the number and location of the wounded..."

While talking, Sun Zhan showed his work certificate to the other party.

Lieutenant Colonel Ye only glanced at him and said, "It's not necessary for now. My talent can also collect personnel information within a certain geographical range, which is faster and more convenient than yours."

Sun Zhan: "But, that rock dragon..."

"The rock dragon is underground, so we can't trace its destination. We can only kill it when it appears on its own initiative." Lieutenant Colonel Ye said, "So I will stay here for a while to cooperate with the rescue."

Sun Zhan nodded quickly: "Understood."

"However, executive officer, we have other matters that require your cooperation." Lieutenant Colonel Ye came over and patted him on the shoulder, "You should know that the seal of the town in Feilin Town is not stable...but I have a I have worse news for you."

"Feilin Town originally had two town objects sealed up. The century-old locust tree in the Xihua Garden in the suburbs, and the Shuanglong mural sealed in the ruins of the ancient kiln factory." Lieutenant Colonel Ye paused, "Yanlong's attack was very sudden , now that the Xihua Garden has been destroyed, we have arranged for people to station in the kiln and strengthen the seal there. But one of the two towns has been destroyed, and the suppression effect on strange creatures will be reduced by half... We are going to simply set up A new town. You have been working in Feilin Town for so long, do you have any good suggestions?"

Sun Zhan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head in a strange way and said, "How about a cave at the foot of Qihuai Mountain? There is a very big Yuhua stone in it..."

Town objects should play a marking role, but also carry a certain amount of aura.Now there are two mainstream town objects: one is man-made aura props, buried in a hidden place, and the other is to take advantage of the natural force of heaven and earth to transform the original scenery and objects, turning dead objects into town objects, However, it does not move its original location. Since the local Fengshui aura is not damaged, the stability of the town itself will be significantly improved.

The murals in the kiln are the first type, and the locust trees in Xihua Garden are the second type.Yanlong is very smart, once his whereabouts are exposed, it will destroy the more important town.

"Would it be too hasty to turn that stone into a town object temporarily?" an officer asked.

Lieutenant Colonel Ye pondered for a moment, then said: "With our current manpower, it is not difficult to gather the spiritual energy to transform the town objects, but it is more difficult to transport new town objects from the shrine hall."

"Two-pronged approach. Immediately apply for a new town object from the shrine hall, and at the same time carry out a temporary town object transformation ceremony." Lieutenant Colonel Ye took off his gloves and said to Sun Zhan, "I will guard the kiln first, and at the same time send Three people with the rank of second lieutenant or above, and the awakened ones who specialize in transforming the town, will follow you to Mount Qihuai. Remember to report the progress of the work in real time, and don’t hesitate to report any problems."

This is... the meaning of reusing him.

Sun Zhan's eyes lit up, and he replied excitedly, "Yes!"

Before leaving, Sun Zhan suddenly came to his senses, and asked with some embarrassment: "By the way, I haven't asked Colonel Ye for your name yet..."

"Ye Mingkong." The young man smiled slightly, Sun Zhan's reflection could be vaguely seen in his clear eyes, "Mingkong from 'Quanmingkongjian'."
