Mysterious Recovery: Starting at Caesars Hotel

Chapter 54 Investigation and Departure

In an unknown city, in unknown streets.

"beep……"

Accompanied by a hoarse and weird car horn, the supernatural bus was blocked by a ghost and directly knocked away a man who was all red. Finally, it stayed in place for a while.

This time, no ghosts got off the bus. The supernatural bus, which had stayed on the same spot for a few minutes, quickly started to move, and its body was submerged in the light mist.

The fog dissipated and the supernatural bus disappeared.

However, a young man's figure appeared on the abandoned platform next to him.

Liang Tian watched the supernatural bus go away, and used the remaining river water to wake up the Fire Ghost lying on the road and make it return to the lamp.

Do it all.

Two messages were uploaded on the phone.

"There is only one hour left before the appointed time, so remember not to be late. The file has been sent, please check it."

Underneath this text message was a supernatural file codenamed Mirage.

There is not much information, just a few satellite photos and a brief description of the incident.

The first photo was taken from a distance, with a thick white fog hanging over the city, and a hazy and illusory group of buildings emerging from it.

The second photo is a close-up shot. Through the layers of fog, you can vaguely see the traces of human figures on the old-style streets, as if there are people living in them.

Here is a description: Every day the mirage lasts, people continue to go missing in Dahua City. All the missing people are suspected of being pulled into the mirage and living in another place.

The intelligence of the evil ghost is unknown, the method of killing is unknown, and the pattern of killing is unknown. All information is unknown, which means that Interpol must investigate it themselves.

Finally, because the illusory city buildings in the fog are still slowly expanding, and considering that the city manager Jiang Huai has lost contact as a result, the mirage phenomenon has a tendency to cover the entire city, the current rating is A.

If the casualties are not contained and continue to worsen, it has the potential to become an S-class supernatural incident.

Liang Tian frowned and read the entire file. He used his authority to retrieve Jiang Huai's criminal police file from the headquarters file management.

"Jiang Huai, age 30, the first city leader of Dahua City, unknown code name, unknown ability, mental evaluation is normal."

There's not much useful information on it.

Although criminal police officers can access each other's files, the files are also divided into several levels. The basic files only contain basic information about some characters, and even the abilities of the criminal police officers are only indicated by code names, and no specific information will appear.

Unless, like Yang Jian, he continuously performs meritorious service and improves his authority, he can access the highest-level files.

Liang Tian put away his satellite cell phone and went to Dachang City through Guixiaohuahong.

Without disturbing Yang Jian, he came to the scarlet blood pool where Yan Li was revived and washed away the cursed hair wrapped around the ghost scissors.

Ignoring the disturbed blood pool, his figure gradually disappeared from the blood pool and left Dachang City in the swaying light of the fire.

Next stop, he arrived in Dahua City.

it's here.

He saw a spectacular sight.

The white and illusory buildings are floating in the sky, and the city center is filled with a cold smell, which has obviously been eroded by supernatural forces for a period of time.

The city center seemed deserted, and there was no liveliness or excitement in broad daylight.

Especially the city's landmark Xiyue Building, a 500-meter-high skyscraper, lost its former prosperity a month ago.

In the camp.

Zhang Lei looked at the time: "There are still ten minutes left before the concentration time agreed upon by the headquarters!"

He has been paying attention to the presence and absence of people outside the camp, but the surveillance outside is all normal, and there are no unusual people coming in or out.

Su Fan opened the box he had brought, took out the golden guns and bullets inside, assembled them and hung them on his waist. Then he carefully took out a scapegoat doll wrapped in gold foil and put it away close to his body. He said slowly: "Earlier, later." It doesn’t make any difference at all, as long as people come, I don’t have a problem with being late.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the screens of the surrounding electronic instruments were all covered with a layer of eerie firelight, making a sizzling sound of electricity.

The scorching heat that ordinary people cannot detect is spreading.

Zhang Lei and Su Fan felt something and suddenly looked towards the door of the tent.

The light was suddenly blocked, making the tent a little darker.

Because there is one more person there.

Liang Tian walked in with a stove lamp and a suitcase, found a chair and sat down, put down the things in his hands, and said coldly: "I'm here."

As he sat down, all the supernatural phenomena that occurred in the tent disappeared like an illusion.

"Hello, I am your teammate Zhang Lei."

Zhang Lei was a little surprised, but after seeing the photo, he immediately recognized the identity of the person and stood up to say hello.

Su Fan's eyes flickered and he said, "I am Su Fan."

The young man in front of me is somewhat handsome. He looks like a college student, but he gives off a very strong impression.

Danger!

The same ghosts, even the famous Li Jun from the headquarters, never gave them this feeling.

"I am Liang Tian."

Since they were not familiar with each other, Liang Tian did not exchange too many greetings and said straight to the point: "I want the latest information on supernatural events."

The headquarters files are not updated in real time and there is a certain delay. If you want to know the latest information, the best choice is to come and ask the relevant personnel on the front line in person.

After Li Yu, the liaison officer, confirmed Liang Tian's identity as an Interpol police officer, he repeated his previous guesses.

At the same time, he turned on the projector and projected the close-up mirage onto the screen for everyone to watch.

"Do these illusory architectural eras involve the Republic of China period?"

Liang Tian frowned slightly and immediately compared the buildings in the Republic of China period with modern buildings in his memory.

Then, his pupils shrank slightly.

From the photo on the curtain, he saw a microcosm of the mirage building complex, which was a familiar town in the memory of the original owner.

"Zoom in on these two areas. I want a clearer image." He pointed out without hesitation.

"I understand, let's zoom in." Li Yu's eyes lit up.

It seems that the detective surnamed Liang has a very keen insight into supernatural events. He immediately caught clues that no one else found when he arrived. Unlike the previous two detectives, they waited for a long time and found nothing.

Zhang Lei asked in confusion: "What did you find?"

Su Fan also looked over with questioning eyes.

"Wait a minute."

Liang Tian was not sure and needed to verify it.

a moment later

After some operations, Li Yu not only enlarged the pointed area, but also maintained sufficient clarity in the image.

That is the town monument of Baidi Town, the town where the original owner lived and grew up.

Liang Tian stared at the enlarged photo and had a rough guess in his mind.

The whole scene presented by the mirage and ghosts is most likely Dahua City during the Republic of China, but the city was not called that name at that time.

Moreover, judging from the scale of the buildings in Baidi Town, there are also some differences in the layout.

"Baidi Town during the Republic of China was not big, but it became much bigger in the mirage. Just like this place, there was originally only a tea shed, but now there is an outline of a hundred-meter building obscured by clouds and fog. There is only one It is possible that the 100-meter building is a real-life building and does not belong to the period of the Republic of China, so the scope of Baidi Town expanded."

"Mirages should have the ability to reflect reality, so the buildings of two eras intersect in the same ghost, disrupting the original architectural layout of Baidi Town. The missing residents may be related to the reflected modern buildings .”

Liang Tian stared at the two buildings. Based on the original owner's impression of Baidi Town during the Republic of China in his mind, he also thought of the ghost paintings' supernatural properties of replicating reality, and expressed his innermost guess.

Zhang Lei was shocked and confused, but Liang Tian could not deceive them, so he said to Li Yu: "Li Yu, go find a town map of Baidi Town and compare it with the current scene in the mirage."

Li Yu did not hesitate and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact the police officers patrolling outside and asked them to launch an investigation.

Su Fan stared at the blurry building in the fog and said, "Continue to enlarge the photo and see if you can see the name of the building through the fog."

Li Yu nodded, hung up the phone, and walked to the computer to operate.

After half an hour.

The survey results of Baidi Town were fed back, and more useful information was revealed to everyone.

...

Several fresh photos appeared in front of everyone.

Map of Baidi Town in reality, photos of Baidi Town in the mist in the sky, map of Baidi Town during the Republic of China
  When the three things were put together and compared, everyone found something was wrong.

"We carefully checked those buildings that were obscured by fog, and successfully found the real-life landmark Xiyue Building in the fog. It is basically certain that mirages do have the ability to reflect real buildings."

Li Yu took out a document and said: "Based on the descriptions of the survivors who fled the city center, most people said that they were not in the same place before their companions disappeared, so we can draw the second conclusion..."

Su Fan narrowed his eyes and said directly: "Every time a mirage reflects a building in reality, the people in the building will be taken away by ghosts, so there are constant disappearances in Dahua City."

Li Yu nodded firmly.

He looked at Liang Tian excitedly. If it weren't for the other party's excellent insight, they would still be in the dark and know nothing.

"But how should we stop this refraction from happening?" Su Fan asked with a puzzled expression.

Liang Tian said calmly: "Since mirages exist in the sky as ghosts, if you want to take away living people in buildings on the ground across a distance, you must have a medium to connect each other. If you want to limit it, you have to find the unknown medium.”

Zhang Lei and Su Fan don't have ghosts, so they don't understand the characteristics of ghosts. Guixiao is powerful and can change the environment at will, but it can never affect everything except Guixiao.

Zhang Lei's stiff face was expressionless: "Restrictions are too troublesome. It would be better for us to imprison the source of the ghosts directly. It would be easier to let the ghosts disappear completely."

Compared to Su Fan's restriction plan, he preferred to imprison the devil.

Liang Tian said expressionlessly: "I will not participate in your decision-making. If you want to enter the mirage, I can use ghosts to give you a lift."

His goal was always to find the person, not to solve the supernatural incident.

"Then let's go."

Zhang Lei and Su Fan looked at each other and nodded.

After making up your mind.

An eerie fire light spread from the stove lamp, carrying a burning sensation and a rich burning smell, directly covering every corner of the tent.

When the fire dissipated, there were no traces of the three people in the tent.
