The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Gu An, who was suddenly awakened, seemed to have lost his soul. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the ceiling above his head with a dull expression, his eyes empty and lifeless.

"How could I...have such a dream?" He murmured to himself, his voice as light as a feather in the wind.

At this moment, a drop of warm liquid fell on the back of the hand without warning.

He seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. He slowly lowered his head mechanically, his gaze fixed on the small splash of water.

The water splashed on the back of his pale hand, forming circles of tiny ripples.

He tilted his head expressionlessly.

Where does this water come from?

However, before he could figure out the problem, the second drop, the third drop... and more drops of water followed, falling on his hands and around him.

Gu An's head slowly turned, he stretched out his trembling fingertips and gently stroked it, and it felt wet.

It turns out that it wasn’t just me in the dream who was crying...

He sniffed hard, trying to control the surging emotions in his heart, but his tears flowed like a flood, the more he wiped them away, the more they came.

Every tear seemed to carry a heavy weight, hitting his heart hard.

It felt like there was a huge hole in my heart, and even breathing was painful.

He subconsciously raised his hands and covered his chest tightly, trying to relieve the inexplicable pain in this way, but it didn't work.

Finally, Gu An took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He straightened up and reached out without hesitation to press the call bell next to the bed.

Just a few seconds later, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.

Soon, doctors and nurses rushed into Gu An's room.

Gu An forced himself to cheer up and described his current physical condition with extraordinary calmness and clear language.

"Doctor, I just had a sudden heartache. I wonder if it's a sequelae of the car accident. Please give me a comprehensive examination."

"Ok."

Thus began a long and tedious medical examination. Blood tests, X-rays, electrocardiograms... one procedure after another, leaving the patient overwhelmed.

At this time, Lu Shi was rushing towards the location given by the police.

When she arrived at her destination, she found that a conspicuous yellow cordon had been set up there, blocking the entire area tightly. No one who was not related to the incident was allowed to enter.

Lu Shi was led in by the police, and then she received a certificate belonging to her. With this certificate of "Police Person with Special Abilities", she would not be stopped in the future when encountering something like today.

Lu Shi nodded, put it away carefully, and looked at the police: "What do you want to see me about?"

After saying this, she quickly turned her gaze and began to scan the surrounding environment. However, after observing for a while, she found nothing.

But it was not her fault. It was a bright, sunny day, and the sun was blazing high in the sky. Even if there really were any evil spirits, they would have been burned to ashes by the scorching sun long ago. There was no point in using her.

But there is no trace of ghost here, so why call her here?

Lu Shi looked back at the policeman beside him, a puzzled look on his face.

The police officer had a very serious expression on his face. He calmly surveyed the surroundings and, after making sure there were no suspicious people, he took Lu Shi deep into the forest.

That’s right, the place where Lu Shi came at this time was the foot of a mountain, and the entire mountain was now off-limits.

The police officer said nothing and just kept climbing the mountain.

Until we climbed halfway up the mountain, a cliff came into view.

The police officer was standing next to the cliff, looking at Lu Shi confused. "Sir Xu, we are not going to jump from here, are we?"

“No, but we’re going to go on.”

Officer Xu led the way and after groping around, he found a small path from somewhere.

Not only is the path incredibly narrow, barely wide enough for one person, but it's also incredibly dangerous, sitting right on the edge of a cliff. If you're not careful, miss a step, or slip, you'll be in for a free meal.

Lu Shi followed cautiously while complaining to Officer Xu in front of him: "Who on earth found this road? He's not afraid of death!"

"In fact, quite a few died." After hearing Lu Shi's words, Officer Xu turned around and responded expressionlessly.

"Uh..." After hearing this, Lu Shi didn't know where to continue.

The two men went down a steep cliff. Below the cliff was a dense vegetation that seemed to have never been touched by anyone.

But Lu Shi felt something was increasingly wrong.

The vegetation here is so lush that it blocks out almost all the sunlight.

The trunk and branches of each tree present a twisted and strange growth form.

The dense and crisscrossing branches and leaves make the entire space seem particularly crowded and depressing.

Even in broad daylight, being there will give people a creepy, eerie feeling.

It would be fine if it was just one or two trees, or even hundreds of them, but all the trees under the cliff are like this.

Lu Shi put away his cynical look and his expression gradually became solemn.

Finally, after walking for more than ten minutes, they saw the main force.

Officer Xu took the lead and stepped forward to introduce the identities of both parties.

"This Lu Shi is a special commissioner of our city's police force, specializing in handling supernatural incidents."

"Lu Shi, this is Chu Jingshuo, the special event administrator sent by the higher-ups. He's the chief disciple of Taihe Dojo. He'll just be assisting us with the investigation for a while."

After listening to Officer Xu's introduction, Lu Shi couldn't help but be shocked.

Wow, we're on the same page!

He is the chief disciple of Taihe Dojo, which sounds very powerful.

But which one is Taihe Dojo?

Is it famous?

Lu Shi greeted the person politely, then quietly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and prepared to search on Baidu.

But his little trick was exposed on the spot.

"No need to check, there's no cell phone signal here."

The person who spoke was Chu Jingshuo.

He was wearing a well-cut and fine-textured suit, with every detail handled just right and with great attention to detail.

Although they had climbed the mountain, his suit was not wrinkled at all, and even his hair exuded a sense of refinement.

When Lu Shi, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, stood beside him, a sharp contrast immediately formed.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

To be fair, Chu Jingshuo's face can only be described as handsome at best. If you look at his face alone, it may not be eye-catching enough.

However, when he put on this suit, his overall temperament was instantly greatly improved. It can be said that half of it was due to his own appearance, and the other half was entirely dependent on this gorgeous outfit.

Lu Shiquan relied on his exquisite face to hold up the scene.

He was quite tall, almost 1 meters, so when he looked down at Lu, who was 9 meters tall, he seemed to be looking down on him.

Seeing this, Zixiao, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly complained in Xiaobuli: "This person is really good at pretending."

Zixiao has every say on the matter of showing off.

In his opinion, only his host is qualified to be compared with him.

As for anyone else, they are not qualified!

"Pretending? Ha!" Chu Jingshuo snorted coldly.

"Pretending is just the bluffing of those who don't have the strength."

"And I was born with a sharp edge!"

Chu Jingshuo believed in himself.

"Oh my, he can hear me talking." Zixiao exclaimed.

Well, Zixiao admitted that this guy did have some skills.

But there is only one thing, he has not seen the others and does not acknowledge them!
