Leo Xiao's Crimson Destiny Chapter 3

Before Tristan Xuan had the chance to escape back to the elevator and start a new life, he was blocked by Director Xiao.

Ten minutes later, he was put on the shelf, and along with several "new boys" of unknown species, he went onto the tarmac of the headquarters.

"It's urgent," Ethan Xiao thrust a folder into his arms without any explanation, "If you want to resign, you can wait until later. Even if you are a temporary worker, you have to finish this job for me first. Chiyuan has nothing to do, nothing wrong with him." Can't go out either."

Tristan Xuan was about to say a few words, but he was stunned when he heard the word "Chiyuan" and immediately calmed down: "What happened?"

Chiyuan, this place is very special, so special that whenever there is any disturbance, the entire Alien Control Bureau will tremble.

Nowadays, when most people talk about "Chiyuan Grand Canyon", they always remember that "5a" level scenic spot. But in fact, the scenic spot is only a small area on the periphery, and the real virgin forest has not been developed.

The environment there is extremely complex. Some people say it is an ancient battlefield, while others say it is an ancient cemetery.

According to historical records, Chiyuan once "cracked the earth for thousands of miles, and the fires of karma flowed across the river, and there was no grass growing for dozens of miles on both sides of the river." Contemporary historians generally believe that this is just a descriptive technique, describing the war that once took place here as very tragic, and the bloodshed was just like in the legend. "Karma fire" is the same.

But anyone who knows the inside story knows that this description is probably true.

Deep in Chiyuan, there is not only the tomb of Emperor Qi Wu.

There are lost ancient magic circles and inscriptions almost everywhere here. Only one tenth of them can be successfully deciphered so far. They are inextricably linked to many broken ancient books that need to be completed.

What exactly is the complex and weird energy field in the hinterland of Chiyuan? There are different opinions within the Alien Control Bureau alone. The most widely circulated one is the "seal theory", but no matter what, everyone agrees that there may be something hidden under the forest. Some very dangerous things, if you are not fully prepared, it is best not to let them see the light of day again.

It's like a dangerous but attractive living fossil.

"I'll make a long story short," Ethan Xiao said, "during the Golden Week holiday, several ancient trees in the primeval forest of Chiyuan Grand Canyon suddenly mutated. The reason is still unknown. These trees are very cunning. After mutating, they can survive in the forest. It is quite difficult to move around. For safety reasons, the local security bureau communicated with the surrounding scenic spots and asked them to stop accepting tourists on the grounds of "geological disaster". However, a small group of suicide enthusiasts were full and full. , the more they refused to let in, the more they wanted to enter, not to mention evading fares and sneaking in, just in time for the mutated tree riot. "

Tristan Xuan raised his eyebrows: "What does 'riot' mean?"

Ethan Xiao opened his laptop and turned the screen to him: "This was captured by the scenic spot surveillance."

I saw that the camera was shaking violently, the picture kept shaking, and the signal was not stable. Suddenly, a huge shadow quickly passed by, as thick as a human arm, and it moved extremely fast, like a hunting python.

If you look closely, you will see that the "giant python" emerged from the ground. It is actually the root of a big tree.

The giant python-like roots first made a hole in the ground and slid against the ground with claws and teeth. Then they hit an ancient tree not far in front of the camera and immediately got entangled in it. The ancient tree shriveled up visibly to the naked eye, as if it had been sucked away. The vitality had become a pile of dead branches in less than ten seconds.

The "fed" roots obviously grew thicker. Then, it stretched into the air, swayed a few times like a show of force, and slammed towards the camera. The screen suddenly went black, and the lens must have broken.

Tristan Xuan: "Oh, this is the scene of the 'Crazy Python Disaster'?"

"This is one of the mutated spruce trees. After they accumulate some energy, they begin to rapidly expand outward, robbing all living creatures of their vitality along the way. It is very dangerous."

"Well..." Tristan Xuan quickly flipped through the information at hand.

There were eight trees in total, mutating almost at the same time. The field staff of the local security bureau marked the original locations of the eight mutated trees on a map. For some reason, Tristan Xuan vaguely felt that the pattern of eight connected dots looked familiar.

"how?"

"I'm not sure," Tristan Xuan hesitated, "You go on first."

"We sent an emergency search and rescue team to retrieve the trapped tourists." Ethan Xiao said, "Fortunately, everyone was rescued. These people hid in a natural cave and escaped. However, We don't know how many they saw now--the task of your aftermath department this time is these people. "

After hearing this inexplicable mission target, Tristan Xuan's expression went blank for two seconds because of confusion, and then he said "Ah" and remembered his role.

They didn't let him cut down the mutated trees, nor did they ask him why these demonic trees were so crazy. He is now the leader of the 'B*tt Wiping Group' and the leader of the 'Old Mom's Gang'. His main task is to appease the injured people. , ensuring that they saw nothing and remembered nothing.

"What did I say?" was clearly on Ethan Xiao's face. He rolled his eyes at him and implicitly hinted: "Go back quickly, Henry Lao from the Security Department wants to invite you to dinner."

"It's my first day at work. I don't have the right major and no experience. Sorry for the inconvenience." Tristan Xuan laughed, then got stuck and turned to ask his new colleagues for help. "Comrades, according to convention, how should this situation be handled?"

When he turned around, he saw clearly the people behind him.

Just now, Director Xiao seemed to be urging him to do something, so Tristan Xuan randomly named three people and hurried out. After taking a closer look, he found that these three people really had their own things to say.

One of them is the eldest sister who just called "One or Two". She may be a little hot from wearing too much. She has already taken off her outermost black suit and put on a "Death Barbie Pink" knitted cardigan underneath, with the collar exposed. Her autumn clothes are even trimmed with lace, which is quite exquisite. She is wearing flower glasses and writing in a notebook.

There was a well-dressed and steady man next to him. Although his hairline was impressive and his hair had become a hollow style, he still applied hairspray carefully and fixed his hair neatly on the Tianling cover. Looking from a distance, he saw that he was following a row of barcodes. Similar.

The third person is a girl, she looks young---of course, she may not be too young, but because she is too plump, the wrinkles have been smoothed out, making her look younger---This person occupies the entire She took two seats, and while listening to Director Xiao's words, she nervously took out snacks from her pocket. Seeing the new boss looking back at her, she quickly stuffed the half-drawn chocolate brick back into her pocket, with a broken peanut still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Tristan Xuan: ...

He suddenly felt tired, because he had just single-handedly provoked the department's average appearance, and he was so exhausted.

Clara Bi, the eldest sister wearing flower glasses, said: "Don't worry, we all have basic office procedures. That is to talk to people one by one, and fool around if there is nothing wrong... What, please comfort me. For those with serious psychological trauma, they will occasionally use some "little props", which are not complicated. Finally, be careful to check their mobile phones and computers, especially those connected to the Internet, so as not to leave any traces. You can leave this matter to Sophie Ping, they are young people. The computer was slipping and our office printer was broken, so we asked her to fix it. "

The fat girl's name is "Sophie Ping". She seems to be a bit introverted. She is nervous when meeting strangers. When she is nervous, her little hands seem to have their own ideas. She can't help but push them into her pockets. She comes to her senses after halfway through the push. Reluctantly pushing back the snacks he took out again.

"Eat, eat, it's okay." Tristan Xuan wanted to say something, but facing these people, he really didn't know what to say, so he could only smack his lips and force a smile.

"One more thing," Ethan Xiao said next to him, "When we received the report, it was said that there were five trapped tourists. The life activity detected by the search and rescue team at the beginning also showed that there were five people. Unexpectedly, they were finally rescued. Six people. The other five were all engaged in live streaming. After sneaking into the scenic spot, we recorded the whole process. However, our field team found that all the images taken of this sixth person were blurry. From beginning to end, only his The voice---This person's words are very strange. Listen to it and be prepared. "

As he spoke, he clicked on a video on his computer. He didn't know what was wrong with the lens. The man in the video seemed to have melted into the light, and only an overexposed blurred outline could be seen.

The outline said: "I'm tired of living the nine-to-six life, so I want to go out and hang out."

Although there was only sound, one could feel that the person speaking seemed to be smiling, and his voice was warm and friendly, which made people feel good about him as soon as they heard it.

Clara Bi was puzzled: "What's wrong with this sentence?"

"There's nothing wrong with this sentence," Ethan Xiao said, "The thing that's wrong is here."

As he spoke, he played several other audio clips.

The first part is a clear female voice, probably a female anchor: "Okay, we have come in, let's take everyone here for a walk."

The second paragraph is a male voice with a very deep voice: "Traveling means going from a place where you are tired of living to a place where others are tired of living. Now you are stuck in traffic during the holidays. I think it is better to lie on the sofa and watch other people." Let's run errands. Today we are responsible for traveling with your eyes. If you guys are happy, please give me some gifts."

The third paragraph is from another man with a hoarse voice: "For me, it's not that hard. Everyone has their own difficulties. Isn't it hard to work from 9 to 6? It's hard, but at least we are free."

"This is a recording of the trapped tourists chatting with the audience during a live broadcast. You may not be able to hear it in the entire sentence..."

"I heard it." Tristan Xuan interrupted him, "This mysterious figure cut out words from what others said and re-spelled the sentence."

Clara Bi's spectacles slipped from the bridge of his nose: "Ah? What? Are you saying that he imitates other people's speech?"

"It's not just about studying." Ethan Xiao first cut out the four words "just strolling around" said by the female anchor, and then added the words "just strolling around" said by the mysterious man. It's not obvious in the sound, and it passes over the ears in a second. But after comparing it individually and comparing it, it gives people goosebumps.

"The speaking speed, tone, pauses, and stress are exactly the same. It's like the voice of the same piece of audio has been changed. This person is not imitating someone else's speech, but a complete copy." Ethan Xiao raised his head, "One word may be a coincidence , but after comparison, we found that every word this mysterious man said was 'copied' from other people's words."

me...

The days from 9 to 6...

Too tired...

come out...

walk around...

"You must pay close attention to this person," Ethan Xiao glanced at Tristan Xuan, "He appeared out of thin air in Chiyuan. I even suspect that he may not be a human being--your plane should be ready."

Tristan Xuan stopped him: "What is this man's name?"

"Sebastian Sheng." Ethan Xiao said, "He calls himself Sebastian Sheng."
