Chapter 2 Primer

"Brother An, what should we do? It should be an ancient tomb, do you want to tell the foreman?" Gradually slanting westward, the setting sun is like blood.On the construction site where the foundation was being excavated, a group of migrant workers were discussing around a dark cave, and everyone was waiting for their leader, a burly man named "Ange", to speak. Brother An looked at the cave and was silent for a moment, his eyes flicked over everyone's anxious faces, and he said in a deep voice: "The foreman has gone home. As long as everyone doesn't talk nonsense, only we will know what's in the cave. I don't want to be poor and I'm not afraid If you are dead, go down with me and have a look, if you can get something valuable, share it with everyone. If anyone doesn't want to go down, I won't force others..."

"I'll go!" "I'll go too!" "Count me too..." Everyone was very excited, as if they had seen the mountains of gold and silver treasures piled up in the cave. "Okay! The eight of us are brothers, we share the blessings and the hardships! Whoever has malicious intentions will die!" Brother An showed a look of excitement and a little uneasiness on his face, and took the lead in diving into the giant hole that was like a man-eating giant. The Cave of the Beast's Mouth... ten months later. "Peace, don't go, don't leave me and the unborn child! Huh..." In the hospital ward, a pregnant woman who was more than nine months pregnant was crying loudly beside her husband's bed.

Lying on the hospital bed, An Ge was dying, gasping like a gossamer, and finally said a word: "We shouldn't disturb her rest, she must be very angry and want to take revenge on us. Everyone is dead, and I can't live anymore... ...cough, cough, cough..." He coughed violently, and it took him a long time to utter another sentence: "Take good care of our children, I have been in construction for a generation, and after a child is born, no matter it is male or female, it is also called 'little child'. Lou' it..." Brother An stopped breathing, and his wife knelt by the bed and cried bitterly, with a faint "hissing" sound mixed in with the crying...

The full moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight spreads a melancholy silver film on the quiet medical university campus.Outside the campus, three late-night returnees reeking of alcohol were about to climb over the fence and go back to the dormitory to fall asleep.One of them looked at the bright moon in the sky and seemed to suddenly think of something, and shivered: "Is tonight the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?" "It seems so, the moon is so round. What's the matter, Xiao Yu, Shi Xing wants to be lewd and his hands are so wet, don't you want to compare with Four Eyes to see who is more lewd?" The fat man who was climbing over the wall joked back.

He adjusted his glasses with four eyes and looked up at the sky, as if he really wanted to recite poetry.Yu pushed him: "Fuck you, I just suddenly remembered the legend about the ghost holding a baby girl." Four eyes shivered: "Don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night..." "I have an old man covering you, I'm afraid of a bird! Come up quickly." The fat man had climbed onto the wall and stretched out his hand to pull them. The campus at midnight is quiet and mysterious, even though the three of them are walking together, it still makes people feel gloomy. "Sizzling, white snake fairy; living a thousand years, there is no limit; swishing, the north wind is blowing, full belly, delicious taste..." When walking into the camphor forest behind the dormitory area, the seemingly absent nursery rhyme came out of nowhere Echoed in the gloomy tree shadows.

Siyan stopped first, his face pale as paper: "You... hear that?" Yu Yu crossed his arms and nodded tremblingly: "I heard from the seniors that whenever the moon is full, there will be a female ghost holding a baby in the woods, singing nursery rhymes over and over again. If you meet her, She will have her heart ripped out..." "Don't scare yourself, that's just a nonsense used by the seniors to scare the freshmen. Run a few steps, and you'll be in the dormitory soon." The fat man kept looking around, but he didn't find the legendary female ghost.

"Let's go!" Fatty took the lead and walked forward, but after walking for a long time, the three of them suddenly stopped together.They saw a woman leaning against a tree, stroking the baby in her arms, with her lips parted slightly, singing a sad nursery rhyme.Her hair was long back and disheveled, almost covering her entire face except for half of her mouth. The woman's head turned slowly, facing the three people who could not move due to fear. Under the loose hair, there seemed to be a pair of bloodthirsty eyes. "Ah..." The shrill scream broke the tranquility of the campus.

Provincial Public Security Bureau, Director's Office. Director Liang was flipping through a file sent by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned. "Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door. "Come in." "Director, what can I do for you?" A bloated middle-aged man came in, with a pair of deep eyes on his sleazy face. "Ah Zheng, when it's just the two of us, we can just call by our first names." The director's tone was very friendly, and he didn't put on the majesty of a superior.However, the other party responded indifferently: "Director, you should call me Liang Zheng during office hours."

"You still blame me for transferring you from the Criminal Investigation Bureau back then. In fact, I had no choice but to." The director looked a little helpless. "It's okay. I'm living a good life in the anti-pornography team. I don't eat and drink every day, I just play mahjong and speculate in stocks. I don't need to use my brain at all, and I am happy." Laugh at the meat but don't laugh at the old saying. "You said it's okay, I know what you're thinking, the case you investigated two years ago, I was also pressured by the previous director and the provincial government to settle it hastily. But you insisted on investigating to the end, otherwise I will not transfer you to the anti-pornography team." The director closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling an unpleasant past.

"It's all in the past, so don't mention it." He said it easily, but his eyes flashed a trace of hatred. "What happened before is in the past, but it doesn't mean it won't happen again." The director suddenly became serious, and threw the folder in his hand in front of Liang Zheng. Liang Zheng flipped through the contents of the file casually and put it down: "The female ghost of the medical university attacked the students and caused two deaths and one injury. This is not under the control of the anti-pornography team." The director showed a sly smile: "Yes, this case is not under the control of the anti-pornography team, and strictly speaking, it is not under the jurisdiction of any department. I have already greeted Secretary Wang and I am going to set up a 'weird case handling department'." Team', which handles cases like this involving the supernatural. Would you be interested in a change of work environment?"

Liang Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement, but he calmed down in an instant: "The government will never allow such a group to exist." "Yes, it is indeed not allowed, so the government will never admit the existence of this team to the outside world. In name, the team is an ordinary investigation team under the name of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but the cases it investigates only need to be responsible to me. Laws such as interrogation and ruling The procedures are all carried out through internal hearings, and there is no need to directly explain to the public and the media." Liang Zheng didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. His smile was not on his face, but hidden in his heart.The director continued: "You can choose five people from the whole province's public security system to be your subordinates, and you can also recruit non-staff personnel, but you must solve this case within half a month." "If you can give me someone, I can solve this case in a week." Liang Zheng said firmly. "Who?" "Mu Shenyu of the anti-pick team." The director thought for a moment: "Oh, it's that Xiao Mu who used to be with you in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, right?" "Exactly." "No problem, anyway, it's too wasteful to let a talent like him stay in the anti pickpocket team." "Other candidates, I will tell you after I read the personnel file." "Ok." "I have nothing else to do, I'm leaving first." Liang Zheng walked to the door and suddenly turned around: "Thank you...brother."
