I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

"Redraw the map?"

Tang Zhi repeated it subconsciously.

No one answered.

Because the next second, Cheng Fang's terminal rang again.

It's not a phone call.

These are seven internal emergency channels.

One after another.

[Linjiang Branch Report: An underground complex has appeared in the university area, and the entrance is still expanding.]

[Southwest Region 3 Report: Existing mountain coordinates have shifted, and new unknown highlands have been added.]

[East China Sea Monitoring Team Report: The outline of the unidentified island continues to strengthen.]

[Northern Route 7 Report: A new forest area has been discovered on the west side of the road; the exact extent is currently unknown.]

The messages are scrolling by too fast.

Tang Zhi stared at it for a few seconds, then couldn't help but curse.

"Is this a disaster report or a map update?"

Cheng Fang was already walking towards the stairwell.

"Don't stand there anymore."

"Leave the situation to the backup."

"Let's go back to the office."

Lin Ye followed.

As he walked through the corridor, he looked back at the upside-down ancient mountain once more.

Just now it only covered half of the night sky.

The edges are now clearer.

You can even see a few crooked ancient trees on the mountainside.

It is indeed getting close.

It's not a visual illusion.

The elevator is no longer in use.

The group ran straight up the stairs.

When I got to the first floor, the street outside was in complete chaos.

Many cars were stopped in the middle of the road.

The driver and passengers all stood on the side of the road looking up.

Police are setting up a cordon.

Someone was live-streaming on their phone, their voice cracking with excitement.

"Family members, did you see that?! It's not special effects! I'm right here in West City, I—"

"Stop filming! Step back!"

"I didn't go in, I'm right here!"

"You're standing inside the police cordon!"

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh."

Cheng Fang walked past without even turning his head.

Tang Zhi whispered:

"If this were before, the secretly filmed videos would have been completely deleted long ago."

Qin Zhao glanced around and saw at least several hundred cell phones.

"Can you delete them all now?"

No one answered.

The answer is obvious.

I can't delete them all.

After getting on the bus, Xu Mian finally descended from the high point.

She sat in the last row.

Her face was a little pale.

It's not an injury.

He had been staring at the mysterious scene for a while, and then suddenly saw several mountains in the sky; his mind hadn't fully processed what was happening.

Tang Zhi handed her a bottle of water.

"well enough?"

"Um."

Xu Mian took a sip.

Two seconds passed.

"That mountain..."

"real?"

Tang Zhi looked at her.

"You can see it more clearly through your sniper scope than we can, and you're asking me?"

Xu Mian lowered her head and pinched the bottle cap.

"It's just...too big."

The car fell silent for a moment.

indeed.

too big.

No matter how complicated or mysterious something may seem, it all boils down to one person.

But what appears now is an entire mountain.

And it's not just one.

Cheng Fang sat in the passenger seat, answering phone calls the whole way.

"No casualties in Group Two."

"Lin Ye showed a mild soul shock reaction, while the others were normal."

"Xuanxu escaped; the scene has been handed over."

"Yes, we're going back to the office now."

Hang up on one.

Another one.

Five minutes later, he finally turned off his phone.

Lin Ye leaned back in his chair.

"How much?"

"What?"

"domestic."

Cheng Fang remained silent for half a second.

"Forty-three."

Tang Zhi suddenly looked up.

"Wasn't it thirty-seven just now?"

"Six more."

"It's only been a few minutes?"

"So shut up, it's giving me a headache."

Tang Zhi opened her mouth.

In the end, it really closed.

The car drove over the elevated road.

The view was completely empty.

The entire mountain reappeared in front of us.

Lin Ye suddenly noticed.

Many cars on the roadside slowed down.

The driver didn't not want to drive.

I couldn't help but watch.

Some people even parked their cars in the emergency lane.

The entire city's attention was drawn to that thing.

Lu Zhixia sent a message at this time.

I've already left.

Followed by.

The mirror was taken too.

Lin Ye replied:

Go home. Avoid crowded places.

A few seconds later.

Lu Zhixia:

【And you?】

[Return to the Seventh Division.]

A while later, the other side had already passed.

Got it. Don't try to be a hero.

Lin Yegang was about to reply, "When did I ever show off?"

Halfway through the fight.

Deleted.

Even I don't quite believe that myself.

Qin Zhao, who was standing nearby, caught a glimpse of it.

"Why isn't it being sent?"

Forest Lock Screen.

"What's it to you?"

Qin Zhao nodded.

"That means you have a guilty conscience."

Why are you talking so much more lately?

"I've been sitting with Tang Zhi for too long."

Tang Zhi kicked his seat from the back.

"roll."

The atmosphere had just started to relax a little.

Cheng Fang suddenly said:

"Check the group."

Several people lowered their heads at the same time.

A batch of abnormal images from across the country were just uploaded from within the Seventh Division.

The first one.

The playground of Linjiang University.

A black crack nearly twenty meters wide appeared in the center of the lawn.

The layer below is not soil.

It is a set of bluestone steps.

It extends underground, level by level.

Lights were still on on the stone walls on both sides.

It's not a light bulb.

It is a white stone embedded in the wall.

the second one.

A mountainous area in Southwest China.

There were originally only three mountains on the satellite map.

Now the fourth mountain is "squeezing" out from behind the clouds.

The strange thing is...

The foot of the mountain has not yet fully blended with the original terrain.

On one side is a modern highway.

The other side is completely suspended in mid-air.

The third one.

East China Sea.

The outline of a giant island appeared on the sea.

Half of the entity.

Half transparent.

You can see the island covered with tall, dense trees.

There is also a black stone tower near the coast.

The fourth one.

Beside the northern highway.

A forest.

The tree is ridiculously tall.

Some are so thick that it takes four or five people to hug them.

The highway guardrails disappeared directly into the woods.

Tang Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.

"So this forest never really existed before?"

Cheng Fangdao:

"Satellite images from two hours ago, no."

Is anyone in there?

"have no idea."

"What about the animals?"

"have no idea."

"Danger level?"

"I don't know either."

Tang Zhi looked up.

"So what do we know now?"

Cheng Fang remained expressionless.

There's a lot I know but don't know.

"..."

Lin Ye, however, stared at the last picture.

"enlarge."

"What?"

"forest."

Cheng Fang zoomed in on the image.

Lin Ye stared at Lin Yuan.

"There."

Qin Zhao also came over.

"Tree?"

"no."

Lin Ye pointed to the far left.

The photo resolution isn't very high.

But when zoomed in, you can see something standing deep in the woods.

Very fine.

Very high.

Like a person.

It doesn't seem like it.

Cheng Fang immediately forwarded the image to the technical team.

"Highlighted in red".

"Tell the people in the north not to rush in."

The message has just been sent.

Headquarters uploaded another updated form.

[Domestic anomalies: 47.]

Tang Zhi was completely speechless.

No one in the car joked anymore.

A dozen minutes later.

We've arrived at the seventh location.

The parking lot at the entrance was already full of cars.

There wouldn't be this many people at night normally.

Almost all the field staff who were still able to work returned tonight.

The lobby was filled with the sounds of telephones, footsteps, and shouts.

The large screen on the wall has been replaced with a national map.

Red dot.

One by one.

imperial capital.

Linjiang.

southwest.

East China Sea.

North.

Central China.

New anomalous coordinates have even appeared in the northwestern desert.

When Lin Ye went in.

Just then, someone added a dot to the big screen.

The fiftieth.

Tang Zhi looked up.

"...and this is only in China."

Cheng Fang hummed in agreement.

The staff member next to him quickly cut the image.

The screen then transformed into a world map.

Europe.

North America.

South America.

Central Asia.

Southeast Asia.

Ocean.

Large areas of yellow and red markings also began to appear.

Not dozens.

There are hundreds.

And it's still increasing.

The hall fell noticeably quiet for a moment.

No one expected so many.

A staff member suddenly shouted:

"Team Leader Cheng!"

"New videos have just been sent back from Linjiang."

Cheng Fang walked over quickly.

Lin Ye and the others followed.

The video is only seventeen seconds long.

It's that university sports field.

The cordon has been set up.

Several staff members stood by the entrance.

The camera is pointed at the stone steps on the ground.

There was nothing at first.

By the eighth second.

A lamp was lit at the bottom of the stone steps.

Then the second one.

The third one.

One lamp after another.

The light shines upwards from deep underground.

It's like something is waking up.

The fifteenth second.

Suddenly, a very soft bell rang out in the scene.

thump.

The video ends.

No one spoke in the entire hall.

The Book of All Souls suddenly trembled.

Lin Ye lowered his head.

"You know him?"

Wanling's voice was very slow.

"This time, there's no need to admit it."

Why?

"Because that's not an ordinary historical site."

Lin Ye frowned.

How did you know?

Wanling paused for two seconds.

"The lamp is a magic lamp."

"The fact that it can light up on its own means there are still spiritual veins inside."

"The bell rings..."

Its voice gradually faded away.

"This means the formation inside is still alive."

Cheng Fang looked at the large screen.

"Where is that person?"

Wanling did not answer.

next second.

A new written report popped up from the Linjiang branch.

It's just one short line.

Fresh footprints were found inside the underground entrance.

[Direction: From inside to outside.]

Lin Ye's expression changed instantly.

No one went in.

There is something there.

They're coming out from inside.
