Chapter 14: Inning 749, stunned into silence.
The young police officers standing behind Li Huimin all gathered around, their faces filled with shock.
The voice on the phone was quite loud; they all heard it clearly. They looked at each other, exchanging glances.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Everyone turned their attention to the group of people dressed in black combat uniforms, and a big question mark popped into their minds: who exactly were these people?
How could a single sentence elicit such a response from the city bureau chief, who wouldn't even care if someone died?
"I need police backup, I need to make a phone call."
Li Huimin slowly put down her phone, her fingers trembling slightly.
She looked at the man in black in front of her again, her eyes no longer showing the previous resistance, but only full of shock and curiosity.
Who exactly is this person?
Why would the bureau chief believe him so readily, without any reason?
Simultaneously,
With the chief's order, she prepared to call for more police officers to come and coordinate, hoping to evacuate all the people in the surrounding area within half an hour.
"Prepare things."
Luo Shaofeng seemed to have expected this outcome, without even lifting an eyelid.
He simply turned his gaze away from Li Huimin, then raised his hand to the team members behind him.
"Yes, Captain."
The six people responded in unison, turned around and walked to the SUV, opening the trunk.
The trunk was neatly packed with various items, all in black waterproof boxes, each sealed with a sticker.
The team members carefully unloaded the box and opened it. Li Huimin and the surrounding police officers craned their necks to look, and what they saw left them all stunned.
The box didn't contain the mechanical blast-resistant weapons they expected, but rather a bunch of strange things:
The sealed iron drum contained black dog blood.
Yellow talismans were pasted on the bucket;
Bundles of peach tree branches,
There were also polished peach wood swords with incomprehensible carvings on them;
The pieces of dark brown wood, with charred marks, are lightning-struck wood;
There were also brass compasses, black donkey hooves, copper coin arrows strung together with red rope, and bags of glutinous rice.
There were also some strange stones with crooked runes carved on them.
What are all these things?
It has black donkey hooves and a peach wood sword.
Li Huimin thought to herself.
"Captain, the life-saving item is ready."
One of the team members reported to Luo Shaofeng, his tone tinged with seriousness.
A life-threatening object?
Li Huimin and the police officers around her were completely bewildered, unable to understand what those three words meant.
However, no one offered them an answer.
Just then.
"Captain, the situation is bad!"
The young woman in the team, dressed in a black combat uniform and with her hair in a high ponytail, held a brass compass in her hands. Looking at the peak value on the compass, her face turned pale, and she spoke.
"How many?"
Luo Shaofeng naturally understood what she meant, so he turned to look at her and asked.
The young woman with her hair tied in a high ponytail was named Lin Luoxue. Her fingers gripped the compass tightly, her knuckles turning white. Her eyes were fixed on the wildly spinning pointer on the compass, and her voice trembled.
She said slowly, "The compass's peak value has reached three hundred, and it's still slightly rising."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the seven Beijing Guoan players present instantly changed.
The team members, who had been so composed just moments before, were now tense, their faces showing disbelief.
Three hundred? How is that possible?
An older team member gasped and exclaimed in a low voice.
Li Huimin stood to the side, completely unable to understand what they were saying.
All we could see was this group of people who had just been so imposing.
At this moment, everyone's face turned pale, as if they had heard something extremely terrifying. Even Luo Shaofeng's expression darkened.
He took a step forward, staring at the compass needle that was practically spinning wildly, his brow furrowed tightly.
The peak value of the compass is used to measure the level of strangeness. The lower the value, the more the evil thing inside is still in the incubation period or in a gestation state.
A value of one hundred indicates extreme danger; the evil spirit is already halfway to being born. At this level, everyone must be on high alert, as the slightest carelessness could result in casualties.
A value of two hundred means that the evil spirit has been fully unleashed. At this level of strangeness, there will basically be no survivors at the scene.
The value of 300 indicates that the harm is sufficient to affect an area of ten kilometers in radius, covering dozens of streets.
Once this level of eeriness fully erupts, not only will the wealthy villa area and the surrounding communities become hell on earth, but even schools and office buildings ten kilometers away will be turned into a living hell, with no survivors.
"I'm late."
Luo Shaofeng raised his head, looked at the luxuriously decorated villa in front of him, and sighed heavily with a compassionate expression in his eyes.
These three words carried an immense weight. In his professional experience, given the bizarre occurrence of a peak of 300, which had occurred twelve hours earlier than the early morning, there was absolutely no way anyone could have survived in the villa.
"Lin Luoxue, notify the logistics special operations team to come immediately and prepare to collect the body."
"The rest of you, follow me to set up a spirit-locking array to seal off this villa and prevent anything inside from escaping."
Ten minutes later, we prepared to enter.
"Yes, Captain!"
The team members behind him responded in unison, without the slightest hesitation.
They all knew that even if they made the most thorough preparations and brought the best life-saving items when facing the strangeness of these three hundred peaks, they would be lucky if half of them came out alive.
But not a single person backed down; this was their duty.
The team members immediately sprang into action. Lin Luoxue took the walkie-talkie and began contacting logistics. The rest of the team took the lightning-struck wooden signs and nailed them into the ground in eight directions along the villa's wall. They also took the iron buckets filled with black dog blood and carefully scattered them around the base of the wall. A thick layer of glutinous rice was laid at the villa's main entrance, and copper coin arrows were hung on the doorknob.
Each person wore an extremely solemn expression, and their eyes even revealed a hint of tragic heroism, like soldiers about to go to the battlefield.
Their fate is unknown.
Time ticked by.
Ten minutes later, Luo Shaofeng stood in front of the villa gate, holding a wooden sword made of century-old lightning-struck wood. He took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as knives, ready to order the door to be kicked down.
Just then, with a loud "bang," the villa's door suddenly opened from the inside.
"..." Luo Shaofeng tensed up instantly at the crack of the slowly opening door, raising the lightning-struck wooden sword in his hand.
The team members behind them instantly went into battle mode, standing sideways with their eyes fixed on the doorway, all ready to face the eerie situation.
But what came out of the door the next second was not the eerie creature with a blue face and fangs that they had expected, nor the blood-covered corpse, but a medical team in white coats.
Leading the group was an elderly hospital director with gray hair, carrying a heavy medical kit.
