Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 342: Return of Heroic Souls to the Prosperous World - Heading to Jingnan

Ever since Lu Zhenjun was possessed once, Zhou Leng seemed to have turned on a switch. She would possess the spirit and taste delicious food every day at lunch time. She was intoxicated by the feeling of being able to enjoy delicious food without spending any money.

Lu Zhenjun was angry but dared not say anything about Zhou Leng's behavior. However, after he looked in the mirror and confirmed that he had not gained weight and his physical fitness had steadily improved, he no longer rejected his behavior and even had a faint expectation of it.

Compared to Zhou Leng's shamelessness, Wang Keshan is relatively shy, and he is not obsessed with food. Recently, the things he does most are reading news, learning words and reading books. These are the peaceful years that he could not experience before.

***

There has been no news from Kong Weimin since he left last time. Wang Keshan didn't know what trouble they had encountered and was just waiting for help to confirm the information. However, before the three of them waited for Kong Weimin's arrival, they instead waited for Lu Zhenjun's new mission.

One day, three men and one woman came to the bookstore. They came with a mission. Their superiors required all the people in the local office to accompany them to Jingnan to assist the four people in exploring a temple.

Because Lu Zhenjun had no regrets about being possessed by Zhou Leng and ate and drank to his heart's content, and he respected and cared for her, she accompanied him on this mission. After all, it was rare to find such an obedient, sensible, and wealthy carrier. Of course, more importantly, Wang Keshan insisted on following, and for the safety of the mission target, she had to go on this trip.

There was a sign at the door of the bookstore saying it was closed today and the door was locked from the inside.

In the small conference room and lounge on the second floor, Lu Zhenjun introduced both parties.

"This is the old squad leader Wang Keshan that our team leader Kong mentioned. You can just call him squad leader Wang. This is the squad leader's friend, the powerful monk Zhou Leng. Because our team is also preparing for a big mission, the others are not in this city. I am the only one cooperating with you in this operation. These two are my predecessors. This time they went together for my sake. We will definitely return safely."

The four of them nodded and introduced themselves one by one.

The names of these four people are somewhat different. In the organization, those who are responsible for field missions mostly use code names and rarely use real names. Teammates don't even know each other's real names. This is to prevent them from leaking information after being caught or possessed, and to prevent the other party from retaliating against their families.

Lu Zhenjun is the staff stationed at the service point. He has to deal with official people on the surface, but he also has to disguise himself as an ordinary bookstore owner, so he is called by such a formal code name.

Lu Zhenjun is not his real name, but this name appears on his ID card and many other documents, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false.

The only woman among the four spoke first. She had a pretty face, short hair, regular features and a bit of heroic spirit. Maybe because she was always out on missions, her skin was a healthy wheat color. In one word, she was heroic.

"Hello, seniors. I am the person in charge of this mission. You can just call me Hammer. We feel more confident that we can have two seniors with us this time."

The remaining three men also greeted politely.

Among them, the slightly fat man was codenamed Tiesi; the man with a square face and long legs was codenamed Ba Tiao; and the man of medium build and ordinary appearance was codenamed Fa Cai.

Zhou Leng listened to their down-to-earth names and greeted them with a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that this trip might be a little dangerous.

After a brief communication, Lu Zhenjun packed his bags, closed the store, and headed to the airport in just a few hours.

Before setting off, Lu Zhenjun briefly told Zhou Leng and the others the purpose of the trip. The place used to be a scorched earth, but now it is a temple with constant incense burning - Xuanzhen Temple.

***

The group took a plane to Donghua Airport in Jingnan City. Donghua Airport is the country's main trunk airport and a Class I aviation port, so the crowds started as soon as they got off the plane and got on the shuttle bus.

Finally, the group met the local receptionist - a middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall and slightly fat. There was no sign held high, and no loud noise. The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a baseball cap and a T-shirt with the words "Moji Bookstore" printed on it.

In the business car, Tiechui briefly introduced the situation again.

"Let me briefly explain the mission background. We are the third team to come here to provide support. The members of the first two teams have all disappeared. No one is seen alive or dead. They all disappeared after exploring Xuanzhen Temple. The local officials also found an excuse to come and check, but found nothing."

The man driving the car echoed in a deep voice:

"Before everyone came to support us, all the team members of the Jingnan Office disappeared, and the team leader became a vegetable and is still lying in the hospital. We had no choice but to ask the headquarters for help. The fire department and the police had found reasons to go there to investigate, and there was nothing unusual, but all the people who could cast spells in the office never returned."

The business car was speeding, and the noise of the engine made the fear in the man's voice less obvious.

Lu Zhenjun asked, "Didn't everyone go there and never come back? Then where did you find your person in charge? Why is he the only one in a vegetative state?"

The man replied: "Hey! The team leader of that mission was responsible for protecting the retreat route. He did not enter the temple. When I arrived, the team leader was lying in the departing car, unconscious. Now I am the only cook and driver left in our office."

Everyone looked solemn after hearing what the man said.

Tiechui took out his phone and checked the information before saying:

"This Xuanzhen Temple existed before the founding of the country. It is said that it got its name because it enshrined the relics of the great monk Xuanzhen. It has continued to this day and there has been nothing unusual. Last month, the headquarters discovered that someone was destroying and cutting off the Kunchang Dragon Vein that runs from west to east. The local office began to check the buildings at key points within its jurisdiction, which is how this temple was exposed."

Tiechui took a breath and continued:

"In fact, it's not just this place. There are a total of seven strange places exposed at the nodes of the dragon vein. All of our field staff have been dispatched. So far, more than 30 colleagues have died or are missing. This matter cannot be delayed. We must explore this dragon's lair as soon as possible!"

In fact, no one was sure of what was going to happen, and some even believed they would die. They even left a suicide note before leaving, but there was no way to retreat or escape, because only with a country can one have a home.

Some of those who took this path came from families with a background in education, while the rest were outstanding talents selected by the army. Regardless of who they were, they all had the determination to die together with the enemy.

Wang Keshan was so moved by their expressions and their will at the moment that he clenched his fists. He seemed to see his comrades who also died bravely. There are always some people in this nation who will stand up at the critical moment.
