Throne of Radiance

Zhanlanxing has a vast territory. Since ancient times, there have been five major mountain systems, seven oceans, and countless small mountains and lakes.

With the development of the times, human beings get rid of the hypothesis of a round sky and a round place, and realize the whole picture of the whole planet and even the universe. This planet is divided into five major domains according to the distribution of mountains and seas in the world.

Yao Country is located in the largest central region of Zhanlan Star.

As for Kunshan, it belongs to the head of the five great mountain systems. The highest peak of the Kunshan Mountain System is located at the junction of the borders between the Yao Kingdom and several small countries. Geographically, it happens to be in the heart of the Central Territory.

If it is carefully divided according to the national boundaries, more than half of the Kunshan mountain range belongs to Yao country, and a small half is outside the border of Yao country.

This world's tallest dangerous peak straddles the border of Yao country, like a wall reaching the sky, straight into the sky.So much so that the ancients mistakenly thought that this place was the boundary between heaven and earth, standing in front of this mountain, they even exclaimed "this mountain is equal to the sky".

But at this time, the wall that reached the sky "disappeared".

Instead, there was a column of air that soared into the sky.

The white air soars into the sky, like a jade hanging from the Milky Way.The billowing thick fog covered the sky and the sun, and almost condensed into raindrops, splashing the world.

Where Kunshan used to be, it has been completely covered by white mist.The wisps of white mist are still drifting around imperceptibly.

A hundred meters away from the white mist, a long cordon was drawn up by the local army. Everyone looked at the mist with vigilant eyes, and they kept trying to persuade the melon-eaters who came to watch the excitement to leave.

hum...

In the sky not far away, the sound of the plane vibrating the air was heard. On the prepared space, a newest express plane landed from above, and several people hurriedly got off the plane.

The leading young man showed his ID: "We are the Department of Detective Disorders, and we were ordered to come to Kunshan to investigate what happened."

The person who spoke was Chu Xingrui, and behind him were Li Fufeng, Liu Ningshuang, Yin Xubai and other members of the Detective Division.

The live broadcast in Kunshan was interrupted, there was an earthquake, and the news of the spread of strange fog spread back, and the detection department acted as soon as the news came back——other departments continued to carry out earthquake relief work as usual. .The task of the Detective Division is to investigate the truth of this matter.

After all, this accident is obviously different from ordinary earthquakes.At that time, I don't know how many people saw the sword shadow outside the sky, white air soared into the sky, and then the whole world was covered with heavy snow, it was so weird no matter how you looked at it.

On the way here, they also received news that not only Kunshan had an accident at that time, but the other four mountain ranges that belonged to the five major mountain systems also had abnormal changes at the same time-the mountains trembled, white air rose to the sky, and thick fog filled the air.

Such a strange change that went beyond common sense clearly fell within the purview of the Detective Division if it was to be investigated.Even the Department of Detective Distinctions has no clue about this, and is not at all sure.

They are ready to camp on the spot for a long-term investigation.

Now that the documents were shown, someone immediately took them to the person in charge here, and the person in charge arranged for them.

As the group walked, Chu Xingrui looked at the melon-eating crowd in twos and threes outside the cordon, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are there so many people gathered here? How is the disaster relief situation here? Earthquake Is the impact area large? Are there any aftershocks? How are the casualties?"

He spit out a series of questions.

The main reason is that they rushed over as soon as they received the news, and they didn't have time to understand many situations.

The faces of the two leading the way showed indescribable expressions: "It's not too big, and it's not too small."

"What does it mean?"

"The intensity of this earthquake is very high. According to the test, it is above level 1." Xiao Wang, the younger of the two, explained, "It stands to reason that if the aftermath of the earthquake spreads out, it can spread to many surrounding areas. area. But here is the strange place, the earthquake was only limited to Kunshan, and no vibration was transmitted outward. But the vibration in Kunshan lasted for a full minute!" He pointed helplessly at the nearby The melon-eating crowd said, "No, the people gathered here are villagers from several villages at the foot of Kunshan Mountain. They heard about the Kunshan earthquake. They ran out of their homes in fear of the earthquake, but when they came out, they found that they were not affected at all. One by one squatting here to watch the excitement! Anyway, I persuaded some to leave!"

"It's so weird?"

Even though many people in the Investigation Department have only a little understanding of earthquakes, they also know that aftershocks will inevitably spread after a major earthquake, just like a stone falling into a lake will have ripples. What this person said simply violated the knowledge Common sense.As for people like Yin Xubai who knew more, it was even more unbelievable.

"Isn't it! Originally, when we received the news of the Kunshan earthquake, the nearby county towns and villages immediately organized the evacuation of the people, but we didn't expect that there were no aftershocks at all. We almost thought that we had received false news. But because things are too weird, we can't It’s not good to let those people who have already evacuated go home, it’s better to wait and see first, lest something happens and they can’t escape after going back. After all, something is wrong here in Kunshan.”

As he said that, Xiao Wang turned his head and glanced at Kunshan, which was shrouded in thick fog inside the cordon, with a bit of fear on his face, as if he had encountered something terrifying beyond his cognition and incomprehensibility.

"What happened?" At this moment, Li Fufeng suddenly said, he pointed to the inside of the warning line, "I see that you are very vigilant about the fog over there. Could it be that there is something wrong with the fog?"

However, seeing that these people did not wear protective masks, they should not be poisonous. Could it be that the mist can eat people... A ridiculous thought flashed through Li Fufeng's mind. The older youth, who also looked calmer, took a deep breath.

He reminded with a serious face: "This white mist is really weird and dangerous. You must not approach it casually."

"Oh?" Everyone was curious now.Isn't the purpose of their coming here to investigate this weird incident?

Xiao Li, who introduced himself as Li, said:

"When the earthquake happened, a large amount of white mist spewed out from the ground, covering the whole Kunshan at once. Because it happened so suddenly. The participating teams this time, including the photographer team at the foot of the mountain, also followed The relatives and friends of the contestants who witnessed were all covered by the white mist, none of them escaped, and their whereabouts are unknown—almost 103 people, and they were the only victims of the earthquake.”

"Did you get lost in the fog? Their mobile phones..."

"It didn't work. We tried calling, but it didn't work. GPS positioning didn't work either. I tried almost everything I could, but all the communication equipment they carried couldn't get in touch. It was like a black hole in this white mist." , or some magnetic field that blocks the signal, all displayed on the satellite map is blurry, and there is no way to detect the situation inside..."

"Because it's important to save people, we immediately arranged a rescue team to go in to find people, but after the rescue team went in, they also disappeared, and even the military communication equipment could not receive a signal."

"...Just a second before the signal disappeared, they sent the news that everything was normal and there was no danger. The feeling we had at that time was really like seeing a ghost."

There was still a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the chill in the air seemed to penetrate into the bones of several people at once.

Xiao Li's voice is not as lively as Xiao Wang's, and he doesn't have the talent to tell stories. He speaks in a straightforward manner, but the atmosphere around him becomes more and more silent and dignified as this person narrates.

Probably to dispel the overly dignified atmosphere, Xiao Wang next to him laughed: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, where are there ghosts in this world? Maybe there is some special ore under Kunshan Mountain, which was damaged by the earthquake. It just changed the magnetic field. That’s all I’m saying, if there’s any common sense problem, you’ll think I’m talking nonsense. After all, Zhanlan Star is so big, we human beings are far from enough to explore it.”

But his words had no effect.

Liu Ningshuang had already embraced her arms in a "shua", her expression pale.

She boasts that she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is afraid of ghosts.Before she met Adams, she could still lie to herself that the world is scientific and ghosts are fake, but now...

"Could it be that there is a ghost, isn't there a ghost in the novel that looks like hitting a wall..." She tugged on Li Fufeng's sleeve, and whispered a word in a low voice.

Li Fufeng looked at her helplessly, shook his head slightly, and replied softly in a voice that no one else could hear: "It should be fine."

His eyes drifted towards the thick white mist unconsciously, his voice was in a trance like a raving...

"...I don't think it's a bad thing."

That white mist seemed to instinctively attract him...

It's like, the clear spring that suddenly appeared in the desert makes people subconsciously want to go forward to nourish their dry body.

A few people settled down quickly, but the investigation task never made any progress. Only Yin Xubai seemed to have discovered something, and took a group of people around every day, and then plunged into his temporary laboratory. do what.

Having said that, this seems to be the daily life of the Detective Division.

——Since the recruitment of Adams, a non-staff member, except for Yin Xubai's research team who is obsessed with the research of foreign materials, most of the others are in a state of having nothing to do.

Although I have received reports from some places, in the end it turns out that it is just ordinary people pretending to be ghosts.After the Detective Department was dispatched, no supernatural incidents were encountered. Instead, several cult organizations and MLM organizations were eradicated by mistake. Among them, there were also swindlers. Some of them still had some real talents. , such as the study of Feng Shui, astronomy and geography, after being confirmed by the Detective Department, they were also recruited as special talents, and they might be useful in the future.

And the Kunshan Earthquake this time is obviously different from the small troubles of the previous few times, but an earth-shattering event!

"No clue! No clue! There's no progress at all. Report it. We have been established for so long and have enjoyed so many special treatment and benefits. The result is just a show. When we encounter a real test, we will reveal our true colors. ?”

As the captain of this line, Chu Xingrui couldn't sit still.

"Now is the time to really test our Alien Detection Division!" He took a deep breath, and quickly glanced at the others. People can't investigate anything, so this so-called detective department is just a joke, so what's the need for it?"

Everyone's faces were ugly, but it wasn't because Chu Xingrui's words were too straightforward, after all, what he said was the truth.

Everyone really didn't make any progress.

Even though I have traveled almost all the nearby villages recently, I have found out all the information about Kunshan from the villagers, even the legends and stories that have been passed down in some villages for a long time, and I know what happened nearby in the past three months Ming, but there seems to be no clues they need.

"I heard the villagers mention the local legend about the fairy sword on Kunshan, which may have something to do with the sword shadow that fell from the sky before..."

"Obviously false. Well, I have heard several different versions of similar stories. These people are completely far-fetched. Didn't you read the inside news? At the same time, the Wufang Mountains were shaken. It is said that the local people They all saw a sword shadow passing by above, so one sword can't be divided into five, or there are stories of fairy swords in five places?"

"Isn't this brainstorming, I'm just offering an idea..."

"I said—" Li Fufeng said suddenly, "Why don't I go to Kunshan, maybe only in this way can I find out the truth."

"Go to Kunshan? You can't even find Kunshan..." The others quickly reacted, "You want to go deep into the tiger's den, no, go deep into the white mist to investigate the truth of the mutation? It's too dangerous!"

Although the person in charge here heard that they were a department specializing in handling special incidents, they were very cooperative with them, and they were responsive, and seemed to really treat them as "experts".There are also some young people who are obsessed with online novels, and they almost regard them as the legendary national supernatural organization.But they know well that they are just a group of ordinary people.

Since its establishment, the Supernatural Incidents Division has actually come into contact with only a few, and the dangers are not high.

But this time, it was obviously different.

Not to mention the [-] people who disappeared at that time, but the several groups of rescue team members who went in one after another, they still don’t know whether they are alive or dead—that strange fog seems to be able to swallow life.

"The danger has to go. I feel that there is the core of everything. If we don't go deep into the danger, we just circle around in the safe zone. We may never be able to touch the real secret. Moreover, my instinct tells me that this white mist is not what everyone imagined. So dangerous." Li Fufeng's tone was erratic, "Perhaps, our cognition is too one-sided, and some misunderstandings have occurred instead?"

Others didn't quite believe what he said, but no one objected to him any more. Chu Xingrui just pondered for a few seconds before nodding his head and said, "It makes sense. We, the Department of Detectives, are supposed to face the most dangerous, weirdest and most dangerous things in the world." Strange things. If you only want to stay within a safe range and easily decipher all supernatural events, that is simply wishful thinking!"

He made a final decision: "Well, I will go with Li Fufeng. The others will stay here to take care of them and continue to investigate. If we don't come back after three days, we should report to the director!"

"No, you are not a member of the action team, and your identity is not suitable. As the team leader, you should be in charge of the overall situation here. Let me go, I am also used to being a partner with Lao Li."

Liu Ningshuang immediately objected.

Chu Xingrui was surprised and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Others also looked over in surprise.

Liu Ningshuang subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately snorted disdainfully after realizing it: "Afraid of ghosts? A joke! I will punch every little ghost!"

"Okay then, just the two of you, there is a caretaker."

After weighing it, Chu Xingrui agreed.

"Are you going to the foggy area?" At this moment, Yin Xubai came over, "I have gained something here, so I should be able to help."
