The road is vague

Chapter 154 Beikou County

the next day.

Li Mo personally came to the gate of Bai'an County and watched Dou Chi and Zhang Qin ride away on horseback.

With a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, he quickly returned to the Ministry of Destiny and came to the backyard.

Wang Pan was packing his bags and moving to the county government office.

After noticing Li Mo coming, Wang Pan stood up.

"They left?"

"Ah."

Li Mo also shared this matter with Wang Pan last night. After hearing it, Wang Pan couldn't help but be excited for a long time.

Now, after receiving a positive answer, he jumped up with his fists clenched. He also understood what this would mean. It was almost equivalent to building another small town within Hua'an Town.

Li Mo showed concern on his face.

"What about you? Are you used to being a coroner in the county government office?"

In the past two days, he has been very busy dealing with the follow-up matters of the major evil case.

"Others find it unlucky, but I find it very interesting. Having two subordinates to dispatch is much more interesting than spending all day in the pharmacy dispensing medicine. I even want to read my surgical textbooks again and get a job in the Ministry of Justice!"

"come on!"

Seeing Wang Pan like this, Li Mo felt very relieved and encouraged him.

Wang Pan grinned, then became inexplicably sad.

"what happened to you?"

Li Mo was stunned and puzzled.

"It's okay. I just feel that you've been better than me since we were little. I've never been able to help you and have always been a drag on you. I don't know what happened just now, but it suddenly reminded me of you."

After a while.

Wang Pan controlled his emotions, packed his luggage, and returned to his usual cheerful self.

"Then I'm leaving."

Li Mo waved his hand and smiled, "I'm also going to go out on a mission, and I don't know when I'll be back. If you have anything, you can come to Lu Tianyou and Zhao Xiaonan. They are both my good friends and trustworthy people."

"it is good!"

Wang Pan waved goodbye.

……

Li Mo left Bai'an City on horseback that afternoon and headed north to Beikou County.

On the way, he opened Zhu Wei's letter again.

"Mr. Li, I'm still safe here for now, but I think if you have time, you should come and see for yourself. Although I don't have clear evidence yet, I feel that I may have been involved in that inexplicable and strange situation. I'm afraid that one day, you will suddenly forget me, just like I have forgotten them."

Zhu Wei is a cautious and reliable person.

To make him so panic-stricken, he must have discovered something.

And he himself may have been involved.

But fortunately, he is now a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. As long as he continues to be careful and lurk, there shouldn't be any major problems with his safety.

"There's probably something wrong with this Liu Biao."

Behind all these problems, the Baiyue Organization may be involved.

However, this organization is too tight. The Ministry of Destiny clearly knows of its existence, but still has no clear clues.

After eight days of rapid riding, Li Mo finally arrived in Beikou County.

Compared with the poor mountains and bad water environment of Bai'an County, Beikou County can be described as barren land, constant sandstorms, and everything is depressed.

This place is very close to the Great Northern Wilderness, which is the barren area in the north outside the Central Plains.

The Central Plains, with the Tianyuan Plateau at its center, is a broken plateau.

With this broken plateau as the center, hundreds of human nations stand together, occupying a dominant position in the mountain and sea realms. In different directions of the Central Plains, there are great human nations guarding each.

Among them, the northern great country is Daqian Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Great Northern Wilderness.

This is a vast wasteland without any vegetation.

It is said.

As you continue to go deeper into the Great Northern Wilderness, some strange things will happen. In history, there were masters in the Nascent Soul stage who died inexplicably, so the Great Northern Wilderness gradually became a forbidden place that the Qian people kept silent about.

The great country in the East was Lu.

To the east of Lu State, there are seven other countries and four countries in the east of Lingling. After that is the eternal death storm, and then there is the land of Dongling where the Piaomiao Clan is located.

The great western power was the Xia Kingdom.

The Xia Kingdom is very vast and is a holy land for human martial artists.

To the west of the Xia Kingdom is a vast desert where the so-called Shura demon clan resides.

The great country in the south was the State of Yu, and further south was the vast Wanli Lake filled with poisonous miasma. It was said that there were ghosts from the underworld there.

Jin, also a big country, was located in the central area relatively close to Tianyuan.

As for the powerful Ling State, it is located on a prosperous peninsula, but it is said to suffer from so-called sea monster attacks and storm disasters all year round.

All the thoughts flashed by.

Li Mo came to the Bell and Drum Tower in Beikou County, offered a sound transmission talisman, and waited quietly nearby.

After half a stick of incense.

A figure came in front of Li Mo.

He looked up and saw that the person coming was Zhu Wei.

At this moment, Zhu Wei was filled with fear and anxiety, and his face looked extremely haggard.

"What happened?"

"follow me."

Zhu Wei didn't say much in response. He motioned Li Mo to follow him, and the two of them came to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

After Li Mo entered the room, he closed the door casually.

"What on earth has happened to make you so panicked?"

"I...I don't know either." Zhu Wei's words stunned Li Mo.

Then he took out a notebook and handed it to Li Mo with gritted teeth.

"This is my daily diary. I wrote everything myself, but I can't remember the people and things mentioned. I...it seems like something has tampered with my memory. The only thing I can be sure of is that there's definitely something seriously wrong with Liu Biao!"

Li Mo's expression changed slightly, and he quickly flipped through the notebook.

"May 20th, today marks the official start of the investigation into Liu Biao. Yuan Zhen, I will definitely avenge you. He won't be able to escape!"

"On May 21st, I..."

"These previous diary clues are all normal."

Zhu Wei interrupted Li Mo and turned the diary to the relatively middle part.

"From this point on, I no longer remember anything, including this Beisha Village. I've searched for it many times and tried many methods, but nothing worked. Aside from what's recorded in this notebook, no one remembers this Beisha Village anymore."

"Ah."

After hearing this, Li Mo looked at the page of the diary.

"On June 15th, I heard that the inspector from the Tianming Division of Beikou County was going to Beisha Village to investigate the previous evil spirit case. Beisha Village has been frequently attacked by evil spirits, and the land has become increasingly barren. The people are living in dire straits. Most of them have fled to the area south of the Great Wilderness Mountain. Liu Biao is also going there. I think there might be unexpected gains here."

"On June 22nd, the inspectors left, and I arrived at Beisha Village. It was truly desolate. There were less than a hundred people in the entire village, and an indescribable evil emanated from it. Many people had gone mad."

"On June 23rd, the villagers said that these insane people had seen evil spirits many times. After being cured, their memories became confused and they couldn't reason with them. The White Moon Organization seems to have some connection with the evil spirits. This might be a good direction for investigation."

"On June 26th, while investigating the crazy people in Beisha Village, I met Xiaohao. He's the only child in the village and just turned fourteen. I asked him what happened to the other children, and he said some had left, some had grown old. He was such a poor little guy, never having been taught the etiquette of the Great Qian Kingdom. I told him those children weren't old, they had simply grown up."

"On June 30th, Xiao Hao led me to the foot of Dahuang Mountain. There's a mine cave there. He said there used to be many people here, but they all left. The population of Beisha Village has also dwindled, and he doesn't know why."

"On July 7th, I spent seven days thoroughly investigating this cave and confirmed that it was once an iron ore mine. Xiao Hao didn't lie to me. There were indeed many people here, but as the ore was mined out, the workers left."

"July 10th. Today I met a crazy old woman named Hu Tianer. It's said that she once left Beisha Village with her parents and was diagnosed with spiritual roots in Beikou County. Then, for some unknown reason, she returned. She ignored her parents' advice and insisted on living in Beisha Village. She said that good-looking men and men with sweet words are no good. Then she unexpectedly married a bald-headed man."

Seeing this, Li Mo frowned slightly.

"Hu Tianer?

He felt vaguely familiar with this name.

But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything, just like the people he had met during his enlightenment period at the age of three. As he grew older, he no longer had any memory of logical principles, only some instinctive reactions.

After a while.

Li Mo shook his head, stopped dwelling on this issue, and continued to look at the diary.

"July 11th. Time really makes people grow old. I can't tell at all that Hu Tian'er is only twenty years old. She looks like she could be my mother. I asked the villagers if she had seen evil spirits so often that she became insane. The villagers said that she was different. One day, for some unknown reason, she returned from the Great Northern Wilderness alone and became like this."

"On July 12th, I suddenly had a feeling that Xiao Hao might not have lied to me. The children in the village might really be old. Those illogical and lunatic people seem to be just a group of children contaminated by evil spirits. I will use this as a clue to conduct an in-depth investigation!"

"On July 15th, this village seemed to have been struck by some invisible curse. I felt like I was sweating profusely. Fortunately, I looked in the mirror and realized I hadn't aged like them..."

suddenly!

For some reason, Li Mo suddenly felt a surge of panic and palpitations.

He slammed the diary shut, and then, using Professor Wang Xiyue's method, tried desperately to interrupt his own associations and memories.

After his mind fluctuated for a while, the countless black threads transformed from his subconscious mind quickly gathered into a ball.

Faintly.

It seems like something terrifying is about to be hatched.

Li Mo hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, using the "Eye of the True Spirit" method of purifying the mind and eliminating desires to dispel the filth in his heart, and his complexion gradually improved.

Zhu Wei noticed that something was wrong with Li Mo.

"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?"

"I have no idea."

Li Mo looked at the notes in his hand, his eyes showing a solemn look.

Just now, he was almost contaminated by the divine secrets and was on the verge of life and death.

"I'm a formation master. For a formation master, the Mountain and Sea Realm is a world filled with chaos, strangeness, and distortion. One encounters many disasters and ominous signs that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Just now, I vaguely sensed something very dangerous in your notebook."

Having said that, he sighed.

"Next, I need you to tell me what to do next. Once I ask you to stop, you must stop immediately."

"it is good."

After hearing this, Zhu Wei broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He could now understand the fear that Li Mo faced.

This kind of fear is not something visible, but is hidden in the seemingly ordinary details in real life, just like peeling off the bark of an old tree and seeing the bloody muscles and bones constantly wriggling.

Then, as Zhu Wei narrated the story, Li Mo nodded frequently, but he never felt that terrifying feeling again.

Instinct told him not to think too much.

About half an hour later.

After Zhu Wei finished telling Li Mo the entire contents of his diary about Beisha Village, his face became serious.

"So, according to the notes, after the people of Beisha Village were relocated at the request of the Ministry of Destiny, you discovered you couldn't remember them at all. You were filled with confusion, and when you investigated according to the notes, you discovered there was no such thing as Beisha Village?"

"Yes."

Zhu Wei was nervous.

"According to my diary, I lived there for more than two months, and it's very likely that I suffered the same misfortune."

A whoosh.

Li Mo suddenly burned the diary.

Amid Zhu Wei's shock and confusion, Li Mo took a deep breath.

"This diary of yours is extremely dangerous. It could touch upon the secrets of Heaven. As the saying goes, Heaven's secrets must not be revealed. I don't know how else to describe this, but I do know that as long as this diary is still there, and you and I keep looking through it, we're bound to meet with disaster one day and die a miserable death."

After taking a deep breath, Li Mo looked at Zhu Wei with a serious expression.

"But everything has its pros and cons. If you want to become a rune formation master in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Zhu Wei opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He didn't know what to do.

Is the research field of the formation master so terrifying?

Just by listening to Li Mo's description, he felt himself trembling constantly. It actually involved a secret that could not be revealed?
