The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 104: The Three-Man Squad Dies! A Sniper Mission!

Li Yu and Chen Xingyang's call ended quickly.

The noise over the phone was quite loud, clearly indicating that Chen Xingyang was dealing with some case.

I wonder if this commotion is related to the Tang Dynasty tomb in Qingshan?
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu frowned.

Since entering the headquarters of the special ability management organization, Li Yu has seen and heard many strange things, but today's situation still makes him feel terrified and his scalp tingles.

The Qingshan Tang Dynasty Tomb Archaeological Team called the organization at 11:34 a.m. on August 25th to inform them.

Security chief Sun Jiancheng has been missing for more than 12 hours.

The last time I saw him was around 10 p.m. on August 24.

The reason it took so long was because they had different jobs, so they didn't discover Sun Jiancheng's disappearance immediately.

It wasn't until the morning of August 25th, when it was time for the routine safety check, that someone in the archaeological team realized that someone might be missing.

By this time, 10 hours had already passed.

According to normal procedure, they should have notified the organization as soon as possible, whether it was the Qing City branch or the headquarters... but they did not do so. Instead, they all felt that the young security director would soon reappear in front of everyone.

After all, someone saw him yesterday.

According to these experts and scholars, how could a living person be lost because of their archaeological research?

However, since Sun Jiancheng was indeed nowhere to be found in the camp, they still sent some people to search for him.

Two hours later, after realizing that the person could not be found, the organization was notified.

Of course, the organization immediately notified the archaeological team to evacuate.

If the archaeological team had followed instructions to immediately abandon the camp, get on the vehicles, and leave, the outcome might have been different.

But there aren't that many "what ifs" in this world.

They insisted on loading the unearthed artifacts onto the truck, which took up a lot of time.

In the early hours of the 26th, the entire archaeological team lost contact during their evacuation.

The total number of people in the archaeological team and the archaeological construction team has exceeded one hundred, including many experienced experts.

The rescue operation has been underway for four days, but so far no trace of them has been found.

The vehicle, the artifacts brought out of the tomb, and even various instruments and equipment are still there.

However, those hundred or so people could not be found anywhere; they seemed to have completely vanished into thin air.

Li Yu reviewed everything, his brows furrowed.

Good words cannot persuade a damned person.

Now that it has happened, and we are 3,000 kilometers apart, it is pointless to blame anyone.

He focused his thinking on the case itself.

"What could be wrong with that Tang Dynasty tomb?"

"Who sent this letter?"

"..."

He looked at the letter in his hand, frowning in deep thought:

"If Sun Jiancheng disappeared seven days ago, then who sent me this report from five days ago?"

"And what is the purpose?"

"The missing people will be found sooner or later. Even if the entire team disappears, regular contact will definitely reveal clues."

"Then what is the reason for the existence of this letter?"

What caused the disappearance of those archaeologists?

Li Yu immediately recalled that, according to Chen Xingyang, something in the tomb seemed to have "awakened."

Was the tomb owner preventing the archaeological team from going deeper?
How to prevent them from entering the main burial chamber?
But then again, if the tomb's occupant was preventing the archaeological team from going any further, then there's no reason for them to send the letter out...

Li Yu quickly overturned his assumptions.

Perhaps all of this is related to the identity of the tomb's occupant?
"Who is the person buried here?"

He quickly pulled out the information about the Tang Dynasty tomb from the folder and read it carefully again.

Based on its style and the quality of the burial goods, this Tang Dynasty tomb indicates that the tomb's occupant was of high status. However, what's strange is that there's nothing in the two side chambers that describes the tomb's occupant. Tombs of this scale should typically contain inscriptions or murals detailing the occupant's life, but this Tang Dynasty tomb is devoid of such information.

So, why would headquarters specifically assign a security supervisor to oversee the safety of the archaeological work? Does headquarters know something about this?
With that in mind, Li Yu immediately called the person in charge at headquarters.

However, after the call was connected, the colleague in charge of the matter quickly gave a "I don't know" reply.

Li Yu frowned: "Don't know? If you don't know, why send a security chief?"

The response came from the other end: "Team Leader Li, it's precisely because we didn't know that we sent the safety supervisor..."

"According to our rating and classification of these ancient tombs, the more information there is, the more likely a tomb is to be classified as dangerous."

This matter has clearly caused everyone a lot of headaches.

Not only the teams searching for survivors, but also these civilian staff members were repeatedly asked various questions.

In such a major accident, no one can escape responsibility.

This includes Li Yu himself, who was once in charge of the inspection.

Not long after the incident, Li Yu still remembered his judgment at the time: there should be no problem with the tomb, and he should not have missed anything.

But now that a problem has arisen, where exactly did I go wrong?
Were the materials used in the main burial chamber different? Did they obscure his spiritual lineage?
Could such a thing even exist? And even if such a material did exist, I shouldn't be unable to sense it...

"What exactly went wrong?"

Although Li Yu was anxious, he also understood that there was no point in rushing to Qing City now.

The two days of rest were simply not enough to figure out the whole story.

Now that headquarters has sent people, hopefully they can handle the matter properly as soon as possible...

Thinking about this, Li Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why didn't I realize the danger?

This question suddenly resurfaced.

In that instant, Li Yu suddenly understood the reason. His pupils contracted slightly in surprise, and he also remembered what Chen Xingyang had just said.

Li Yu grabbed the satellite communication equipment almost instantly, wanting to contact Xu Chenggong.

However, Xu Chenggong's phone was busy, so he immediately called Chen Xingyang.

Chen Xingyang's phone also went unanswered...

Even someone as composed as Li Yu was getting anxious. He paced back and forth in his tent, making those two phone calls non-stop.

Several minutes later, Xu Chenggong answered the phone...

……

……

Seven days have passed since the disappearance occurred.

The document Jiang Chuan saw on Xu Chenggong's desk last time was precisely this dossier of the Qingshan Tang Tomb.

Although the entire Qing City organization was on high alert, Jiang Chuan and his group were completely unaware of this.

After all, they are still just students.

Although it had been said before that they could cooperate with the inspection team to a certain extent to gain merit and improve their evaluation...

However, neither Chen Xingyang nor Xu Chenggong had ever considered involving students in such a dangerous task.

at this time.

Xu Chenggong's office.

He was staring at the computer screen in front of him, his expression serious.

On the screen, three experts from headquarters were preparing to venture deep into this eerie Tang Dynasty tomb.

Sun Jiancheng, who has already disappeared, is qualified to serve as the security supervisor at an archaeological site with a "dangerous" rating, so his abilities must be quite good.

His inexplicable disappearance has, of course, raised the risk assessment of this Tang Dynasty tomb once again.

Therefore, in the seven days since the disappearance, even the search and rescue team has been warned not to approach the Qingshan Tang Tomb.

While this sounds incredibly cruel to the missing, recklessly exploring without sufficient resources could escalate the losses to an unimaginable degree. Who knows how many more people might disappear without a trace, not only increasing casualties but also potentially triggering a latent crisis.

Therefore, we must wait for a sufficiently powerful awakened individual to arrive.

However, those with sufficient strength who have awakened are few in number.

Ultimately, it comes down to the organization's lack of high-level combat capabilities.

The fact that even Li Yu was sent to the Kunlun Mountains speaks volumes.

In reality, the headquarters sent a considerable number of experts to mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. However, due to the vast land area and the sudden global outbreak of memory awakening, the headquarters, which was originally planning to proceed slowly, had to disperse its limited resources.

The problems that headquarters is facing now are like the anecdotes that happened during the excavation of the Chang'an subway tunnel.

The construction team encountered the tomb of a scholar-official and reported it to the cultural relics bureau. However, other places were busy with the rescue excavation of the tombs of princesses and princes... so the scholar-official's tomb had to be temporarily put on hold.

Currently, the area is riddled with problems, and every place needs support. The tasks are also divided into priorities and urgency.

The fox scourge in the north cannot be ignored, the worm plague in the south cannot be neglected, the eastern coast is sealed off as enormous creatures occasionally appear in the mist, the western mountains occasionally echo with dragon roars, and the chaos of the Kunlun beasts has poured countless manpower and resources into the region. It's not just the various unpredictable and intractable problems on this vast land, but also the provocations from overseas. The official awakened ones have never stopped their covert struggle with the outside world...

Compared to these, Tang Dynasty tombs seem rather immature.

The three of them then entered the ancient tomb together, trying to find out the specific reason for the disappearance of the people.

However, as soon as these three experts entered the tomb passage, communication was cut off.

Seeing this, Xu Chenggong's eyes widened.

"how?"

"What's going on?!" Gong Zheng, the head of the technical department, was standing behind Xu Chenggong. Upon seeing this, he immediately took over Xu Chenggong's computer.

After a quick check, he came to the conclusion: "The signal is broken."

Xu Chenggong understood what it meant for the signal to be cut off. He only asked Gong Zheng one question: "What circumstances could cause the signal to be cut off?"

Gong Zheng's expression was quite grim: "Generally speaking... unless it's an EMP bomb, there's no reason for the signal to be cut off under these circumstances."

Since Gong Zheng said so, Xu Chenggong understood that it must be related to that tomb.

Just as Xu Chenggong was about to make a decisive decision to contact headquarters immediately, the screen on his computer flashed to show "No Signal".

Xu Chenggong immediately looked at the screen, afraid of missing a single moment.

After a brief flash, a deathly pale face abruptly entered the frame!

He is the leader of the three-person team that entered the tomb passage, and he is an extremely powerful spiritual awakener!
The man's face was deathly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his calm and confident demeanor before entering the tomb passage was completely gone, replaced by absolute fear!

The scene suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, and Xu Chenggong's pupils shrank sharply, as if his heartbeat had stopped for half a beat!
"save……"

He only managed to utter that one word before the scene abruptly stopped.

It stopped on his swollen head, and in that instant, his handsome face was completely disfigured.

Xu Chenggong's office was completely silent.

These three experts sent by headquarters were instantly killed! They didn't even have a chance to fight back!

what is going on! ?
Within these green hills and Tang Dynasty tombs...

In the end what happened! ?

Xu Chenggong gritted his teeth, forcing himself to come back to his senses.

He grabbed his phone and dialed the headquarters' emergency contact number.

"Xu Chenggong, head of the Qingshi branch, reports that the situation at the Qingshan Tang Tomb has changed, and three awakened individuals have died in the line of duty!"

"Please come to our aid immediately!"

"..."

After spending a few minutes reporting the situation, Xu Chenggong hung up the phone.

But as soon as the call ended, another call came in.

Seeing that the caller ID was Li Yu, he pressed the answer button with a heavy expression.

The moment the call connected, Li Yu immediately said, "Stop the inspection process!"

"Notify the people from headquarters! Halt the inspection process!"

Li Yu suddenly realized why he hadn't noticed the danger.
If it wasn't a problem with the materials used in the main burial chamber, then there's only one reason why I didn't notice the problem!
The spiritual power of the tomb owner far surpasses that of himself!
At that moment, Xu Chenggong's silence on the other end of the phone caused Li Yu's expression to quickly fall.

……

After the sudden deaths of three powerful awakened individuals sent by headquarters, the danger level of the Qingshan Tang Tomb suddenly increased.

At this moment, this Tang Dynasty tomb nestled in the green hills seems to be no less dangerous than the fox spirits and the curses.

……

9 month 1 day.

It was 3:44 PM on the eighteenth day of the second phase of training.

"You should rest for a while..."

"See you for dinner?"

He and Li Yi had just finished their dagger training's practical exercises.

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Li Yi nodded.

She watched Jiang Chuan sheath his dagger and rush out to another classroom. She wondered if she should try harder like Jiang Chuan.
At that moment, Jiang Chuan had already rushed into another classroom.

Upon entering this classroom, you can see the white mice kept in cages, which are there to complete the assignment for "Lecture 4 of Mental Power".

He needed to quickly train the well-fed mice before dinner, because he would be going to the Bronze Men Formation for extra training after dinner. He felt that the training would be more efficient under the cover of night than during the day.

Jingle bell bell bell!

But just as he entered the room and was about to apply his mental energy to the white mouse, Jiang Chuan's phone rang.

The caller ID showed Chen Xingyang.

Jiang Chuan didn't think much of it and immediately answered the phone: "Captain Chen?"

Chen Xingyang spoke very quickly, saying, "There's a mission tonight that I need your help with."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, sensing something was wrong.

A task? A favor?
In that brief moment of stunned silence, Chen Xingyang's voice rang out again:
"The mission objective has been locked. Your mission is simple and safe."

"If you feel uneasy, bring your friends along."

"I'll calculate your merits."

Hearing Chen Xingyang's assurance, Jiang Chuan still felt uneasy.

Although Chen Xingyang's assurances are mostly correct, it's easy for him to get himself into some inexplicable cause and effect.

Just like that visit and inquiry to Qin Dahai's family that day.

But since Jiang Chuan was a member of the inspection team, he generously nodded and said, "No problem, Captain Chen."

"Who should I contact?"

Chen Xingyang said, "Yue Wen."

After uttering the name that Jiang Chuan was very familiar with, he immediately spoke again at a rapid pace:
"Tonight's assassination mission will be carried out by just the two of you."

"He's in charge of the sniping, you just need to provide support."

"If you want to invite others, my suggestion is to find someone who is more emotionally stable."

"Go ask Yue Wen for the case details and action plan."

"..."

"correct."

"Just letting you know in advance, your classes may have to be suspended for the next few days."

"I still have some things to take care of. Go find Yue Wen now. I've already sent him a message. He'll be waiting for you in the supervisory group's lobby."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Chuan stared at his phone, somewhat bewildered.

Jiang Chuan stared at the white mouse, momentarily lost in thought, several keywords flashing through his mind.

Tonight's operation?
Going right now?

Sniping?

Two people?
The suggestion is to find someone with stable emotions?
As these keywords flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind, he began to mentally unleash a torrent of complaints.

Where is this going?

Is this sniping mission really that easy? And why do they need to find someone who's emotionally stable?
This is absolutely insane flag-planting; they're practically saying they'll get married when they get back from the war.

Despite his inner grumbling, Jiang Chuan couldn't back down since he had already agreed. He immediately came to his senses and ended today's mental training.

He turned and rushed out the door while making a phone call.

Soon, the call was connected.

Shen Jing's extremely low voice came through the receiver: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"I'm in class right now...you..."

Jiang Chuan interrupted Shen Jing: "Brother Jing, how's my luck today?"

Shen Jing replied simply, "I'll send you the divination result on WeChat later, I'll hang up now."

The phone hangs up.

Jiang Chuan then pushed open the classroom door.

Looking at Jiang Chuan who had returned, Li Yi asked, "Did you leave anything behind?"

Jiang Chuan looked at her and asked, "The inspection team is on duty tonight. It's a meritorious operation. Are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi was clearly somewhat surprised.

But she quickly came to her senses and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Jiang Chuan nodded, and then he called Lin Ci again.

Just to be on the safe side, he also invited Ai Zhe and Liang Cheng.

He did not forget Captain Chen's reminder.

Find some people who are emotionally stable.

Tang Songming, Song Xi, and Tian Tian are naturally not included in this list.

These people all agreed to Jiang Chuan's invitation, and Jiang Chuan told them to meet in the supervisory group's office hall.

As for Jiang Chuan and Li Yi, they were already on their way to the office hall.

At this moment, Shen Jing's WeChat message was also sent to Jiang Chuan's phone.

The divination indicates that you will have good luck today; something good should happen.

[Brother Chuan, when you become awesome, I'll drive you around, okay?]

[Hands on hips, mischievous].
