Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

This made his heart tighten. Could it be that this factory was related to the ancient curse?

At this time, Li Qingqing's voice came from the intercom: "Officer Qi, I found some suspicious telephone equipment in the office, which seemed to be used to make those mysterious calls."

Qi Tongwei responded immediately: "Stay alert, I'll be there soon."

He quickly rushed to where Li Qingqing was and saw her checking an old telephone. On the wall next to the telephone was a map marking several missing locations in the town.

"This phone should be used to make those mysterious calls." Li Qingqing said, "and it looks like it's still working."

Qi Tongwei observed carefully and found that there was a hidden cable under the telephone, which extended to the underground of the factory. They searched along the direction of the cable and soon found a secret staircase leading to the basement.

"It seems we have to go down and take a look." Qi Tongwei said.

They walked down the stairs carefully and found that the basement was a huge space with various runes and patterns carved on the walls. In the center was an altar with some mysterious ritual items on it.

"This place looks like a secret altar," Officer Wang said. "Could these disappearances be related to the rituals here?"

As they were checking the altar, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. The three of them turned around quickly and saw a man in a black robe standing at the door with a strange smile on his face.

“You shouldn’t be here,” the man whispered, a sinister tone in his voice.

"Who are you? Why are you making those mysterious calls?" Qi Tongwei asked, pointing the gun at the man.

"I am the owner of this factory. Everything here is under my control." The man replied coldly, "You will never understand the power here."

"We will uncover the truth and save those innocent people," Qi Tongwei said firmly.

The man laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed in the basement, which was particularly terrifying. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and chanted a string of spells. The walls of the basement began to shake, the ground cracked, and a black mist rose from the cracks, quickly covering the entire space.

"Run!" Qi Tongwei shouted, but the black fog came too fast and they had nowhere to escape.

Just when they thought they could not escape, a strong light suddenly shot out from the black fog, dispelling the darkness around them. Qi Tongwei opened his eyes and saw an old man in a white robe standing in front of them, holding a glowing staff in his hand.

"Are you all right?" the old man asked gently.

"Who are you?" Officer Wang asked in surprise.

"I am the guardian of this land, dedicated to fighting these dark forces." The old man replied, "You have done well to find this place."

"We need your help to break the curse and save those missing people," said Qi Tongwei.

The old man nodded and said, "This curse is indeed very powerful, but it is not impossible to break. We must find the true identity of the man in black robes and stop his ritual."

Under the guidance of the old man, Qi Tongwei, Officer Wang and Li Qingqing continued to explore the basement and found an ancient book that recorded the identity of the man in black robes. The book mentioned that the man in black robes was originally a cursed villager who gained powerful powers through black magic and used these powers to control the factory.

"We must find his weakness before we can defeat him completely," said the old man.

Based on the clues in the book, they found the weakness of the black-robed man - he was afraid of sunlight. With the help of the old man, Qi Tongwei and his team made a plan to use sunlight to break the black-robed man's defense.

That night, they came to the factory again and confronted the man in black robes. During the fierce battle, Qi Tongwei used a mirror to reflect the moonlight onto the man in black robes. The man in black robes let out a shrill cry, his body gradually collapsed, and turned into a cloud of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

With the disappearance of the black-robed man, the curse in the factory was lifted. The missing people gradually regained consciousness, and the souls trapped in the factory were freed.

Qi Tongwei, Officer Wang and Li Qingqing successfully solved the curse and saved the town's residents. They returned to the police station and reported the whole incident to the chief, who appreciated their bravery and wisdom and decided to reward them for their heroic actions.

As peace returned to the town, Qi Tongwei, Officer Wang, and Li Qingqing gradually returned to their daily work. However, they were always wary of that experience, worried that the dark forces had not completely disappeared.

One night, a strange case happened in the town. A resident suddenly died at home. The body was in an abnormal condition, with a pale face and wide eyes, as if he had experienced great fear before death. Even more frightening was that the body seemed to be moving again. Qi Tongwei, Officer Wang and Li Qingqing immediately rushed to the scene to investigate.

"It doesn't look like an ordinary sudden death." Li Qingqing squatted down to examine the body and frowned, saying, "There is a strange smell here."

Qi Tongwei nodded and looked around: "We need to check further to see if there are any other clues."

As they were carefully examining the body, the body suddenly moved. Qi Tongwei and Officer Wang quickly drew their pistols and stared at the body vigilantly. Li Qingqing took a step back, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"It's moving!" Li Qingqing exclaimed.

The corpse slowly sat up, making a low gurgling sound, with a hollow and terrifying look in its eyes. Qi Tongwei and Officer Wang looked at each other and opened fire without hesitation. The bullets hit the corpse, but it seemed to have no effect, and the corpse continued to approach them.

"This is impossible!" Officer Wang shouted, "It should be dead!"

Qi Tongwei said calmly: "We must find its weakness."

Li Qingqing quickly flipped through the notebook she carried with her, looking for a way to deal with the corpse transformation: "According to ancient records, this situation may be caused by a kind of black magic. We need to find the caster, or use specific runes to eliminate it."

Qi Tongwei and Officer Wang continued to deal with the corpse, while Li Qingqing quickly drew the rune to drive away evil spirits. She stuck the rune on the forehead of the corpse, and the corpse instantly let out a piercing scream and then fell to the ground motionless.

"Success!" Li Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Tongwei nodded: "It seems that this town is not completely safe yet. We need to find the spellcaster to completely solve the problem."

They returned to the police station to look up more information about black magic and corpse transformation. According to the information, this kind of corpse transformation phenomenon is usually related to a powerful black magician, who is likely to be hiding in the town.
