Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 229 That Talisman

Dongyang City, the third city.

Lu Zhan pushed open the office door, put his coat on the shelf by the door, and immediately saw Xia Yuxi who was sorting out files at his desk.

"Army."

Seeing him come in, a beautiful short-haired woman nodded at him, her chest was plain, it was Xia Yuxi.

She was originally recruited by Lu Zhan to keep it secret, but during the six months of getting along, the two have become familiar with each other. Now she is Lu Zhan's assistant, responsible for helping him with some trivial matters .

"Well, there should be nothing wrong with these files, right?" Lu Zhan asked.

"No problem, I plan to check it again and enter them into the computer tomorrow."

Xia Yuxi quickly made a cup of hot tea for Lu Zhan.

"You can figure it out." Lu Zhan took the teacup and asked casually, "I heard from Qingqing that how many more prisoners were arrested in the bureau today?"

"It's all petty theft."

Xia Yuxi smiled wryly, "You also know that although the expansion of the forbidden zone has not had much impact on Dongyang City, the world today is much more chaotic than before. There are always some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

Lu Zhan nodded and didn't say much.

So far, Dongyang City should be one of the urban areas least affected by the expansion of the restricted area - because there seems to be no restricted area around it that can be expanded.

The restricted areas such as Silent Village, Beast Mountain, and Equality Paradise all disappeared half a year ago. Although the stone monument of the restricted area still stands, it has not expanded outwards, and the restricted creatures inside have disappeared without a trace.

According to what Xue Hongyu said before he left, these restricted areas may have been "dead"—that is, the inner cores have been destroyed and thus completely cleared.

The so-called core is the black crystal that the player mentioned before. It is said that it can prevent the expansion of the restricted area after being destroyed, and it is indeed the case. If it is not because of knowing this, the loss of human beings will be even greater.

Today's restricted areas such as Buyu Village are quite safe, and Dongyang City is even trying to build them as safe areas, so as to relieve the pressure of the sudden increase in population in the urban area.

The expansion of the forbidden area has affected the original structure of the safe zone, causing many people to be displaced. For example, in the four major urban areas of Sun, Moon, and Star, except for Dongyang City, the situation in the other urban areas is not very optimistic, so there are many refugees. He fled into the territory of Dongyang City, hoping to live in the city.

After many considerations, although Dongyang City did not agree on the surface, it secretly accepted many rich people into the city. Of course, the price was expensive.

Even at this juncture, the meeting hall was still thinking about how to make money instead of how to solve the problem. This quickly aroused the opposition of many people and asked the meeting hall to seriously consider this matter - including Lu Zhan.

It's not that these people are cold-blooded, but that the influx of new residents needs to be considered in many ways, such as accommodation allocation and other issues, which are well-founded and not based on whether they have money or not.

The Chamber of Commerce has long been dissatisfied with Lu Zhan. This guy did not cooperate with the instructions many times in the operation of the Equality Paradise, and he kept talking bad things to the people in the council. As a punishment, Lu Zhan was not long after From the banning bureau to the police station.

This obviously had the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys. After that, many people who raised objections before suddenly stopped speaking.

Lu Zhan was not angry about this, he just regretted that Jian Wugui and others left in a hurry and didn't clean up the moths in the meeting hall. Now these guys are getting more and more carried away, and the urban area does not look like an urban area at all.

In fact, with the emergence of a large number of buffer zones, even the safe zone is no longer safe. Nowadays, there is little communication between the various urban areas, just like princes occupying one place. The local emperor's style of the middle management has become more and more obvious, and it seems to have become a dictator.

As far as Lu Zhan knew, almost all the councilors in the chamber settled their families in the No. [-] city, and the seven aunts and the eight aunts made it clear—and so did the rich.

As for the original ordinary residents of City No. [-], they were forced to relocate to the new city transformed by the forbidden area such as Buyu Village. Of course, in name, it was to allow them to experience a more comfortable life.

But everyone knows that this is not the case.

You must know that the reason why the urban area is called an urban area is that there are tall walls built outside it, which completely surround the entire city, so as to ensure the safety of the residents inside.

And the new city is built on top of the original restricted area, and there is no definite conclusion on whether it is safe or not, so it is naturally impossible for the upper layers of Dongyang City to spend time and energy to build some kind of wall——

Anyway, they don't live there.

This also means that once there are large-scale changes, such as biological invasions in the restricted area, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the residents of the new city.

Nowadays, it is said on the Internet that today's Dongyang City is completely distinguished by money. The richest and most powerful city is in the first city. In the second city and the third city, the tax is very high.

The poorest people can't even afford to live in new cities, so they can only wander outside and become a new generation of outcasts.

Not only Dongyang City, but most urban areas are actually like this now. Class is redefined by strength and wealth, and the weak are barely able to survive.

The rule of the law of the jungle is displayed very nakedly.

It's not all bad, though.

In order to survive, in the past six months, more and more people have mustered up the courage to go deep into the buffer zone and restricted area, a large number of origin stones appeared, the number of extraordinary people also increased significantly, and their strength improved rapidly.

This is not a subjective illusion, but an out-and-out fact, so people have gradually realized that perhaps only entering the restricted area can bring about rapid strength growth——

It's like a copy of the game that can increase a lot of experience.

In addition, many rare treasures and even taboo sequences in the restricted area are also coveted, so more and more people pour into the restricted area, as if they have discovered a new life, just to prevent themselves from falling behind.

The increase in the number of extraordinary people is definitely a good thing for mankind as a whole. The upper and lower limits of human strength are both raised, but it also leads to an increase in crime.

Fortunately, they are all minor incidents, and the safety zone is still very serious about it. Although today's police station also needs to deal with crimes committed by extraordinary people, Lu Zhan is still relatively free——

At least it's much easier than in the banning bureau.

As a matter of fact, perhaps only the safe zone still has the energy to maintain order. If it is changed to the buffer zone, people who die every day may not be taken care of.

Stability and safety are one of the important reasons why so many people want to live in a safe zone.

"correct."

While thinking about it, Xia Yuxi suddenly interrupted Lu Zhan's thoughts, and said, "The Bureau of Removal of Bans called in the morning and asked if you would consider going back to work again after taking the exam. It's not the person in charge, but the deputy."

"How did you answer?"

"I said you need to think about it."

"Then why be euphemistic, don't think about it, just refuse."

Lu Zhan took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Of course he knows what the guys above are thinking. Liu Qingqing, Xia Yuxi and others are his confidantes. With his transfer, his old subordinates have also followed him to the police station. Although the number of extraordinary people has increased, but Few people are willing to join the banning bureau, so the banning bureau is short of manpower, otherwise he will not be allowed to go back.

"If you refuse like this, you won't worry about those guys in the meeting hall transferring you to a new city?" Xia Yuxi said with some concern.

"Will not."

Lu Zhan shook his head, "Those idiots have been annoyed with me for a long time. The reason why they transferred me to the police station is because they wanted to show me how powerful they are, and they didn't want to give up a transcendent of my level. They can still be called at critical moments. Otherwise, I would have been let go."

"And they know very well the result of forcing me again and again. If I leave, I will pack up and leave with you."

You know this very well...

Xia Yuxi shook her head helplessly: "It's no wonder that the Bureau of Removal of Prohibition suddenly has to appoint multiple persons in charge. This kind of behavior of leaving with a group of subordinates after a disagreement is really a headache."

Although she said this, she was in a good mood. The current meeting hall was indeed rotten to the bone, and it didn't matter if she followed Lu Zhan to work elsewhere.

"That's because I have a charismatic personality." Lu Zhan boasted solemnly, "If it were someone else, such as the woman Xu Han who left the job, do you think there is anyone following her?"

Xia Yuxi kept curling her lips when she heard it, but she knew very well in her heart that Lu Zhan was telling the truth.

As a boss, Lu Zhan treats his subordinates impeccably. He completely treats his subordinates as his own. A while ago, her parents in Lengyue City were in trouble, and it was Lu Zhan who went there to solve it personally, and he didn't take it to heart afterwards. .

As far as Xia Yuxi knew, Lu Zhan had a life-saving grace for many of his subordinates, including that stupid Liu Qingqing—this was the reason why they were so desperate.

"Actually, I went to the Anti-Banning Bureau today." At this moment, Lu Zhan said suddenly.

"doing what?"

"I went to find the pen fairy."

"The taboo sequence with a dangerous level of B?" Xia Yuxi was taken aback. "You don't have the authority to remove the ban, right? The people from the ban will let you in?"

"Why are you bothering about this?"

Lu Zhan said angrily, "Shouldn't you be curious about what I asked Bixian for?"

"What did you ask?" Xia Yuxi asked cooperatively.

"I asked about the gravekeeper."

Xia Yuxi thought that sure enough, she knew that this guy was still pursuing the tomb guard's question, so she couldn't help being a little curious at this moment, and asked, "But isn't the pen fairy afraid to answer questions about that guy?"

She had heard from Lu Zhan about this.

"You can't ask directly, but you can ask from another angle." Lu Zhanshen said mysteriously.

"How did you ask?"

"I can't tell you how to ask, but I already know where that guy is."

Lu Zhan seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face.

"Can't you tell me?"

Looking at this guy's face, Xia Yuxi was so angry that her teeth itch. She knew that this guy did it on purpose, so she said, "Don't forget, I can read minds."

Lu Zhan said with a smile: "I have a devil living in my heart, you better not look at it casually."

"..."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Lu Zhan's cell phone rang suddenly.

He took out his mobile phone unhurriedly, but when he saw the unfamiliar number on the screen, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Although the number was unfamiliar, he knew who was calling.

There are two cards inserted in Lu Zhan's mobile phone, only one is commonly used, and the other number is rarely known, and the reason why it has not been disabled is just so that some guys can contact him in time.

He deliberately waited for a while before choosing to answer.

"Hey?"

"Hello, is this Lu Zhan?"

There was a female voice on the other end of the phone, young and full of vigor, Lu Zhan knew who the other party was as soon as he heard it——

Mo Qingcheng.

"It's me." Lu Zhan replied coldly, with no emotion in his voice.

"I'm Mo Qingcheng." After a moment of silence, the other end of the phone said.

"I know it is you."

The voice fell, and both ends of the phone fell into silence at the same time.

The communication between the two is like strangers, there is an obvious sense of alienation, but it seems to be deliberate.

Seeing Lu Zhan's expression was wrong, Xia Yuxi walked out of the office knowingly and closed the door behind her.

Lu Zhan was the only one left in the office.

"As I said, we'd better not get in touch before," he said.

Mo Qingcheng on the other end of the phone did not speak for a long time, as if hesitating, the air was dead silent.

Just when Lu Zhan wondered if the other party had hung up the phone, he heard the other party suddenly say:
"I got a clue of the dean's whereabouts."

Lu Zhan didn't speak, but he couldn't help breathing quickly, and unconsciously exerted force with his palm, almost crushing the phone in his hand.

For the first time, his mood became very unstable.

Mo Qingcheng seemed to guess his state at this time, and said in a low voice: "Don't get excited, listen to me first."

"I am currently working in the inspection team under the Xinhai Group, responsible for the collection and collection of plants in the buffer zone. This job allows me to travel in multiple places, which is beneficial for me to collect information."

Lu Zhan didn't say a word. Of course he knew where Mo Qingcheng was working, and he even helped to arrange this job, otherwise the latter would never have entered the Xinhai Group.

Although this job is dangerous, it is what Mo Qingcheng has always longed for.

Of course, Mo Qingcheng didn't know this.

"It took me a long time to finally find the ruins of the former orphanage. I will send you the specific address later. The important thing is the next thing." Mo Qingcheng said.

"You should know that I'm not interested in the past of the orphanage, but if you really know the whereabouts of that old guy, just tell me like this... Aren't you afraid that I will kill him in the past?" Lu Zhan said in a cold tone.

Mo Qingcheng seemed not to have heard this, and continued: "The orphanage has now become a part of the buffer zone, and it has been abandoned for a long time, but I still found a box in the basement of the dean's office."

At this point, she deliberately paused for a moment, but Lu Zhan didn't have any intention of asking, as if she really didn't want to know anything.

She couldn't help but sighed, and stopped being a fool, and continued: "There are only two things in the box, a black crystal, and a piece of yellow talisman paper."

Black crystals and talisman paper...

Lu Zhan repeated it silently in his heart, but still didn't say anything. He was really not interested in this, and he was only in a bad mood.

However, what Mo Qingcheng said next made his face change instantly.

"You should still remember that I once knew a man named Bai Mo. He saved my life, but he disappeared later, and I have been unable to contact him."

Of course Lu Zhan remembered that Bai Mo was the tomb keeper.

"What does it have to do with him?"

He finally couldn't help it, and asked for the first time.

Mo Qingcheng said: "I also told you that Bai Mo lives in a cemetery, and I stayed there for one night, and there are many yellow charms pasted on the door of the cemetery hut."

Lu Zhan was stunned: "You mean..."

"That's right, I once took a yellow charm with me in the cemetery. I can't find any similar spells on the market. It may be exclusive to the cemetery, or it may be scribbled, but it's unbelievable. Yes, the talisman paper in the box is exactly the same as the one in the cemetery... This is obviously unreasonable."

Lu Zhan couldn't speak, this incident made his thoughts a little confused.

Mo Qingcheng on the other end of the phone was also silent for a long time, and then slowly expressed her speculation——

"I suspect that there is a connection between Bai Mo and the dean."
