He Qing told us, "I just used Liusha to help with the treatment. I can tell that Alice Anvik had been somewhere before. This should be a graveyard, and there was an underground room. She was unwilling to speak at first, but after my efforts, she told me a detailed address!"
He Qing answered, picked up a piece of paper, and pointed us to a location. He Xin immediately went to investigate and soon discovered that this was the only remaining cemetery in our Guangming City, called Taiji Cemetery.
Upon arriving at the designated spot, we immediately explained the situation to the caretaker, who opened the door and let us in.
The caretaker told me, "No one has come here for a long time. If it weren't for a few wealthy individuals contracting this place, it would have been demolished long ago. Nowadays, people use cremation."
"Who is buried here?" I asked.
"The ancestors of some top wealthy families. Those people value the feng shui of their ancestral graves. They spend hundreds of millions on a single tomb, which is unimaginable for ordinary people!"
"I understand. You stay here, and we'll go in to investigate something!"
I didn't tell the caretaker what we were investigating, but he informed me that their Zhao family's ancestral grave was also here. I wondered if this guy had found a good feng shui spot for his ancestors due to his job, but I didn't see him being particularly successful.
He told us his name was Zhao Shisan. After retiring, he had been guarding this cemetery. He was once a renowned feng shui master who had been famous throughout Fuming City.
He also told me his wife was Liu Xiaotian, a wealthy woman from Fuming City, but I had never heard of them.
I thought this guy was probably a charlatan who had retired and was now trying to deceive people.
Upon entering the cemetery, we dispatched numerous criminal police and special police to conduct a large-scale search. If that woman hadn't lied to us, we should have found many porphyria patients this time. We searched almost the entire cemetery but found no mysterious entrance. Around us were only tombstones, and the countless pale photographs were particularly distressing to look at.
When we grew impatient, Li Fan came up to me and said, "Team Leader He, we haven't found anything. It seems we were tricked by that woman!"
"But this was information obtained while she was under hypnosis. Theoretically, how could it be wrong?"
Everyone knows that a hypnotized person cannot lie, unless, unless that person was pretending to be hypnotized.
If that were the case, it would indeed be troublesome. I picked up my phone to call He Qing, but suddenly, the sound of doors closing, "kacha kacha," came from outside the cemetery. At the time, I didn't know what was happening, but several special police officers ran over in a panic, saying, "This is bad! That caretaker, for some reason, has locked us in, and then he and his men ran off!"
"Bastard, this guy was indeed suspicious. Try to open the door!" Li Fan cursed. None of us had the patience to stay here any longer. We ran back to the cemetery gate, only to notice that the gate was a full 3 meters high, and the outer layer was made of concrete. We couldn't climb over it. If we had a cutting tool, it would be fine, but this time the special police only had assault rifles.
I picked up my phone to call for backup, but I didn't realize there was no signal until I reached for my phone.
Damn it!!
"It seems this is a trap. But how could He Qing not have realized that Alice Anvik wasn't hypnotized?" Zhang Keying said furiously, "Did that guy even deceive He Qing?"
This plunged several of us into panic. At the same time, Xiao Yuande anxiously said, "Could it be that He Qing, He Qing has betrayed us?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that would have serious consequences!!" For some reason, I became extremely angry at that moment, as if Xiao Yuande had crossed my bottom line. I roughly grabbed his clothes and pushed him in front of a tomb.
"Team Leader He, am I wrong? How could that guy not see that the other party wasn't hypnotized?"
"Say that again! Yuande, don't think I can't beat you!"
"Team Leader He, calm down. This is not the time for mutual accusations. None of us wants to suspect He Qing!"
Xia Hou pulled me hard, and Zhang Keying pulled Xiao Yuande, but neither of us let go. We cursed each other and tugged at each other's clothes, looking as if we were about to fight.
If Li Fan and several special police officers hadn't come to mediate, we probably would have smashed each other to the ground.
Years later, I would regret my impulsiveness that day. I don't know what got into me.
After Xiao Yuande was pulled away, he stood there, tightly buttoning his shirt and smoking into the air. I was also pulled to the side, and Zhang Keying kept trying to appease me, telling me not to overthink things. Many special police officers were constantly searching for an exit, but the cemetery was surrounded by high walls. Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for us to leave.
However, that wasn't the end of it. After we had been there for a few minutes, for some reason, dense flapping sounds suddenly came from not far away. Having heard it many times, I could recognize the sound of bats flying even from a distance.
I told everyone to be on alert. Everyone took out their flashlights, and as they approached, our flashlight beams shone on them. However, these bats ignored the lights and flew towards us, surrounding us completely within minutes.
This was infuriating. We fought against these bats desperately. Xiao Yuande grabbed several bats with his bare hands and threw them to the ground. Many bats were smashed onto tombstones by him, staining the portraits of the deceased with blood.
We protected ourselves, using our police batons to strike them, one by one, against the walls. Since light couldn't deal with them, we had to use force. We truly didn't believe that a few bats could bite us to death like this.
After a struggle, the special police even fired their guns into the air, killing a large number of bats. Dense blood sprayed everywhere, staining the ground around many tombstones, creating a gruesome scene.
After we dealt with all the bats, whether it was an illusion or not, there was a movement from the soil of a tombstone. We all instinctively took a few steps back, afraid to go near it. Some officers couldn't help but exclaim, something seemed to be crawling out of the dirt!!
