As soon as the elevator door on the 36th floor was opened, Xuan Ji's eyes were shaken - the entire floor was actually semi-open, with a row of large floor-to-ceiling windows facing south, with a glass door in the middle, overlooking the entire capital.

Outside was a terrace hanging on the thirty-sixth floor, extending from the building body. Xuan Ji glanced over it and saw at least a dozen complex magic arrays on the terrace. One layer of magic arrays expanded the terrace space to the extreme. In addition to the helicopter apron, it could even put the runway off.

Xuan Ji thought he had been idle in the world for many years, had eaten and seen it, but had no knowledge for a long time, but for a while, he was still shocked by this great man-made. He was a little dizzy by the dazzling sunlight, and before he could find where the office of the aftermath department was found, another elevator door was opened next to him, and Xiao Zheng and a few people rushed out from inside.

Seeing Xuan Ji standing stupidly at the door of the elevator, Hurricane Xiao was rushing over in a flash, and then he took off: "Your department's plane is ready. You will lead the team and take off in twenty minutes. Come over and say as you walk."

Xuan Ji: "..."

What thing is ready? Why is he the team led? He didn't even touch the door of his own office, but he was stuffed into a plane for a business trip... Wait, this department actually has its own plane?

The glass door opened, and the wind on the open air apron swept in, shaving everyone's heads into "Bright Wheel 2000". Only Director Xiao's head was covered in hair spray and his hairstyle was as stable as Mount Tai. He turned his head and stuffed a dozen documents into Xuan Ji's arms, and said in a deep voice: "What happened to Chiyuan."

When Xuan Ji heard the word "Chiyuan", he was busy pausing his hand with his back. His eyes seemed to be pricked by some reflection, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes: "What?"

Xiao Zheng knew that he was a bit knowledgeable and thought he didn't know where Chiyuan was, so he quickly explained: "It's the Chiyuan Grand Canyon, but the 'Chiyuan' we are talking about does not refer to the canyon scenic area - the scenic area is just the outer periphery of the canyon, and the large areas of the primeval forest in the hinterland of the canyon have not been developed and is not open to the public."

Xuan Ji said "um" with a little hesitation: "What's wrong with the Grand Canyon?"

"The Chiyuan Grand Canyon is one of the high-risk areas we closely monitor. There is a huge unknown energy field in the hinterland of the canyon. With our current technology, we cannot go deeper, let alone study it carefully. Because of this energy field, abnormal energy events occur frequently, and there are many lost ancient magic arrays and inscriptions in the primeval forest. I can't understand it even if I can read it. Less than one-tenth of them can be deciphered to the interpretation. Some experts from the research institute in the bureau speculate that there may be some very dangerous things sealed in the Grand Canyon."

Xuan Ji opened his mouth, as if he wanted to express some opinions on "very dangerous things", but Xiao Zheng did not allow him to say that he hurriedly took Xuan Ji and several other people from the aftermath department on a small plane. Xiao Zheng found a seat and spread out his tablet computer with him: "This time, I'll tell you a long story short - during the Golden Week holiday, several ancient trees in Chiyuan Grand Canyon suddenly mutated, and these mutated trees could move in the forest and hunt around. For safety reasons, colleagues from the local branch communicated with the scenic spot management and asked them to suspend reception of tourists on the grounds of 'geological disaster'. Unexpectedly, there was a small group of mortal lovers who would not let them enter, and they evaded tickets and sneaked in to "exploration" and did live broadcasts, just in time for the mutant tree riot, which was captured by the scenic spot surveillance-"

He said, opening a video file on his tablet computer. The video camera was shaking violently and the signal was not very stable. It seemed to be in an earthquake. After a moment of shock, a shadow suddenly passed through the middle of the picture, moving very quickly, like a hunting python. It slid against the ground with its teeth and claws, hitting an ancient tree not far from the camera, and immediately wrapped around it.

The ancient tree entangled by the "python" quickly shriveled down, as if its vitality had been sucked away. In just a few dozen seconds, it had become a pile of dead branches.

It was not until this time that Xuan Ji saw clearly that the "giant python" was the root of a big tree.

This terrifying root was full and full of food, and then it climbed down from the residue of ancient wood, shook it a few times like a mighty force, and suddenly hit the camera. The picture suddenly darkened and the camera shattered.

Xuan Ji frowned and pinched his thumb a few finger joints with his thumbs a few times. There was no solar eclipse recently, no lunar eclipse, no meteor shower, and Mars next door was steadily steadily, not "staying" at all, there was no abnormality in the celestial phenomena, and it was not "yin time and yin moon" in the almanac, nor "demon time". OK, why would there be tree groups mutate?

"Conservatively estimated that there were at least seven or eight mutant plants this time. The roots of the trees that were photographed should be from one of the mutant spruces. They quickly expanded outwards and hunted all living things along the way - not only plants, but our people found several large mammal corpses inside." Xiao Zheng interrupted his thoughts, "After hearing that someone was trapped, the local branch immediately organized a rescue team. Now everyone has been rescued, and they are also the ones who have lost their lives. They accidentally hid in a natural cave, but they are not sure how much they have seen - the focus of the work of the Aftermath Department this time is these people."

Several aftermath on the plane spoke in unison: "I understand."

Only Xuan Ji was unable to adapt to his position and asked blankly: "Didn't you just say that the person has been rescued?"

"Yes," said a staff member of the aftermath department next to him, "so it's time for our aftermath department to appear. Isn't our job just to deal with personal property losses, discuss compensation matters, appease the ordinary people involved, and avoid the spread of supernatural events that cause social panic?"

Xuan Ji: "..."

Yes, his main business now is to collect corpses, pay for money, refute rumors, and promote scientific values ​​to the masses.

"I was not very professional in the past. I just came here without any experience and laughed at me." Xuan Ji called out "haha" and turned around to ask for help from colleagues in the department whom I met for the first time. "Who can give me some guidance? According to convention, how should we generally deal with this situation?"

After turning around, he saw clearly the people behind him.

In addition to him, there were three people in the aftermath department, two women and one man. The one who made a statement was a very experienced elder sister, who was in her fifties, wearing a pair of glasses, a fashionable and beautiful "Teddy roll", wearing a death Barbie pink knitted cardigan, and the collar exposed the lace lace of a row of autumn clothes, which was very delicate.

The male colleague next to me is more delicate than this elder sister. She has shiny suits and leather shoes. Although her hairline is touching, she still carefully applied hair spray. The hollow head curtain is neatly fixed on the Tianling cover. When she looks from a distance, she seems to be pressing a row of barcodes.

There was also a young girl, chubby. I don’t know if she was afraid of heat or strangers. She had a thin layer of sweat hanging on her forehead. When she saw the new and old man looking back at her, she was so nervous that she rusted and almost cut the seams of her pants and opened the thread on the spot.

Xuan Ji suddenly felt tired because he had to rely on his own strength to provoke the average appearance of the department alone, and he felt very tired.

"Hello, director, my name is Bi Chunsheng. I'm a few years older than you, just call Lao Bi." The elder sister wearing glasses spoke first, "Don't worry, we all have basic office procedures - first talk to people one by one, fool them if you have nothing to do... Then, please comfort me. If the psychological trauma is serious, occasionally you will use a little 'props', which is not complicated, you will see it. Finally, pay attention to check their mobile phones and computers, especially things that can be connected to the Internet, don't leave traces on the Internet. If you let Qianru go, that little girl, named Ping Qianru, they are young people, and their computers are so sloppy that our office printer breaks down, ask her to repair it."

The one who was originally picking the trouser sewing was called "Ping Qianru". The girl herself was as introverted as the trouser sewing. She was suddenly called and was startled. She hung her head like she was as shameless as Xuan Ji, showing a white hair whirlwind.

Xuan Ji wanted to say a few words, but was pushed by the silent head and forgot the words, so he had to smash it and squeeze out an amiable smile.

"There is another thing that you need to pay attention to," Xiao Zheng looked at the table and interrupted the ice-breaking ceremony within their department. "When we received the report, we said that there were five tourists trapped. The life activities detected by the search and rescue team at the beginning also showed that there were five people in the cave, but for some reason, six people were caught in the end, and one more was inexplicably added."

Several people from the aftermath were told by Director Xiao's crappy ghost story.

"The trapped ones were originally two groups of people. They happened to meet when they were running for their lives. They thought that the extra person was with the other party, so no one noticed it at that time. One group of people went to the scenic spot to shoot videos. The equipment was not turned off at the time, and the whole process was recorded," Xiao Zheng continued, "After we checked the video, we found that all the shots of this person were taken in were blurry, that is, from beginning to end, only his voice was recorded."

He said, clicking on another video on the computer. In the video, the man in a corner of the camera seemed to melt into the light, and he could only see a blurry outline that was overexposed.

Contour said: "I'm tired of nine to six days, so I'm out of here and there to go for a walk."

Although there is only a voice, the person who can feel the speaker seems to be laughing, his tone is not slow and fast, and his voice is warm and friendly, making people feel good when they hear it.

Bi Chunsheng thought for a while: "I was running for my life at that time, and this person seemed... a little too calm."

Xiao Zheng shook his head: "No, what's wrong is here."

He said, and played several other audios.

The first paragraph is a crisp female voice, which sounds not very old, and the girl seems to be talking to the camera: "Okay, we're already in, take everyone here first to take a walk around here."

The second paragraph is a male voice with a strong voice: "Traveling is to go from where you are tired of, to where others are tired of. Now there is a traffic jam when you come out on holidays. I think it's better to lie on the sofa and watch others run errands. Today we are responsible for traveling and take your eyes off. If you are happy, don't forget to double-click the praise."

The third paragraph is another man with a hoarse voice: "I, it's not hard, everyone has their own difficulties. Isn't it hard to have a nine-to-six day? Thank you too, we are at least free."

Xiao Zheng said: "Three people were broadcasting live before they were in danger. This is a recording of their chat with the audience. They may not be able to hear it in the whole sentence. I'll give it to you..."

"I heard it." Xuan Ji rubbed his chin, "This mysterious character cut off the words from what others said and spelled it out again."

Bi Chunsheng's flower glasses slid down from the bridge of his nose: "Do you mean he learns from others' words?"

"It's not just learning." Xiao Zheng first cut out the four words "Stories for a walk" that the young woman said separately, and then put the mysterious man said "Stories for a walk". These words were not obvious in the words, and they passed through their ears in a second. However, after the comparison was made, they heard the person with goose bumps.

"The speed, tone, pause, and stress are exactly the same. It's like a voice changer for the same audio. This person is not imitating others' words, but it is completely copied." Xiao Zheng raised his head, "A word may be a coincidence, but after comparison, we found that every word the mysterious man said was 'copying' from other people's words."

Me...

A nine to six days...

Getting tired of it...

come out……

Take a walk around...

"Focus on this person, the time is almost the same, it's time for you to set off." Xiao Zheng said this and glanced at Xuan Ji, "I'll just say a word before I come back. I'll be a serious colleague from now on, so I'll have a meal together."

Lao Xiao is preparing to give him an explanation about the incident of cheating himself into the aftermath department.

Xuan Ji smiled and said, "You invite me? That's almost the most interesting. Director Xiao, why are you so stingy? You have invited everyone from our department to treat you."

Bi Chunsheng and the "extremely smart" male colleague were both old-fashioned. They immediately followed the leader to play the role of urging and fighting against the local tyrants and sharing the land.

"Don't fool us with the cafeteria. If you want to invite us, please invite us to the place you can't afford to eat. Come on, work before eating," Xuan Ji copied the weird video to his phone, "By the way, what's the name of this 'mosaic'?"

"Oh... he called himself 'Shenglingyuan'."
