Chapter 520: Divine Wood(1/2)
In the messages released in the group, they didn't mention me. Now they asked me to come out to thank me alone. What's the idea?
I remained a little vigilant, waiting for the following text of the supervisor, the administrators lined up on both sides to welcome him, looked at the same style as the one on duty last time. They all had cold faces and sharp eyes, and stood like javelins. When I entered the door, their expressions had never changed.
Such a murderous team of administrators gathered here tonight, definitely not for the party.
"Don't be polite, I didn't help me." It would be no good to put on a high hat. When I heard Manager Hou's thanks words, I immediately replied.
"Humility, this matter has been going on for a while. Several waves of people have come, but nodded. Team leader Leng will solve it immediately. He is worthy of being the new star field department of the unit. I have heard of your name for a long time."
"College-workers, don't believe me, I'm just a little more lucky."
"Team leader Leng is too modest. Actually, I came to you today to ask you for a little help."
I thought to myself, but finally said the key point. Just so, if I continue to be polite, I will lose all my words.
"What's the busy thing?" I asked quickly.
"Send something to send." Manager Hou still smiled, as if this was really busy and there was no need to be nervous.
However, the facts are probably the opposite. He came forward in person and recruited two teams of "elite soldiers". How could he ask me to help me?!
"What are you giving?" I thought about it and asked again, "Is this a consignment?"
When one department helps another department, it depends on what it is. The content of the work needs to be implemented in detail. That is to borrow people, not just talk about a few words and reveal some information.
Supervisor Hou nodded and showed me his cell phone. He chatted with the head of the sect using work WeChat and said he wanted to find me to deal with item No. 9999. The head of the sect replied that he could.
Although this is not a formal transfer order, it is equivalent to asking too much leadership for advice and there is no need to go through cumbersome procedures.
When I saw the 9999 set of numbers, I thought to myself that the bun was right, but the problem was that they already knew that this thing was in the shoe cabinet, so why hadn’t it been sent back to the underground warehouse?
Supervisor Hou led me to the duty desk, and he picked up a document from the table and handed it to me.
Each item in the warehouse has an introduction and detailed introduction. The introduction is entered into the system when registering. The detailed introduction will be stored in the next level directory. The document I took over is a detailed introduction to item No. 9999.
But without information about the task related to this item, no item can exist independently from the task, and everything stored in the warehouse is brought back from the task.
Therefore, behind an item, there must be a task, and there should be a summary report of this task.
Baozi also said that item No. 9999 was a lost item in the mission, and later it was retrieved. Now Manager Hou only showed me the item introduction, that is, the tasks related to it must be kept confidential to me?
When checking the task file, you need to have a number, otherwise you must have a date, name and other information before you can search.
With the number 9999 alone, no relevant reports can be found in the archives, but I guess the confidentiality level of this task is very high. Even if there is a number, I may not have permission to read at my level.
Manager Hou showed me a detailed introduction, and 80% just wanted me to understand the dangers of this thing.
I looked carefully at the text on the paper and found that item No. 9999 was actually a... vampire?!
No, it actually has nothing to do with the vampires in film and television works, because it is carved from wood, not transformed from bats or corpses.
In principle, this thing is a wooden portrait, but the introduction says that this kind of wood does not belong to this world.
The solar eclipse is in the sky, and the divine trees are descended from the sky...
The sacred wood fell to the ground and dyed hundreds of herbs red. A herb collector picked up this sacred wood and regarded it as a treasure. Half a year later, the beloved daughter of the herbicide died unexpectedly. He carved the sacred wood into the shape of a beloved daughter. Unexpectedly, the wood carving that was originally a baby-like appearance gradually grew up.
The herb collector not only did not feel terrible, but instead thought it was the divine wood that appeared. He could start to hear some sounds, and the wooden statue was talking to him.
The man looked like a demon. The wood carving asked him for his eyes, so he went to dig for it. He first dug out the sheep's eyes and cow's eyes. The wood carving was not satisfied. Finally, the herb collector secretly dug out the eyes of the neighbor's children. He put his eyes on the wood carving, and he was arrested and sent to the official.
But the wood carving was hidden under his bed, and no one knew that his house was hiding this thing. The herb collector was imprisoned. During his jail, the "zombies" began to make trouble in their village.
At first, the blood of poultry was sucked up, then the livestock, and finally it was upgraded to humans.
The village hired Taoist priests and went to the public cemetery outside the village, but the so-called zombies were not found.
I invited some experts later. After turning around the village several times, I couldn't find the culprit.
No one dares to live in such a place, and the village has no choice but to become a wasteland. Anyone who is brave and dares to stay is spared and will become blood food for something.
This information was told by the herb collector. He heard the prisoner telling the strange things that happened in the village in prison, and couldn't let go of his "daughter" and asked his inmate to go to his house to take a look.
This inmate was a minor crime and sentenced to a minor sentence. He was free after a few months. He became bold and went home to see the herb collector, but there was no wood carving under the bed. Not only under the bed, there was no wood carving.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but complain. Of course he couldn't find the wood carving. The thing sucked blood, so he naturally looked for the living thing and went wherever there was blood.
Moreover, once you drink human blood, the blood of other organisms will be unacceptable.
The man later continued to investigate and felt that he was not like he was helping his inmates, but like he was very interested in this matter and wood carvings.
The story I saw was written by him, but I don’t know if he didn’t finish it or if Manager Hou just wanted to see it for me, but later he found the wood carvings and did not mention it in the introduction.
From the existing introduction, we can see that this thing can communicate with people, confuse people, and is very obsessed with blood.
It can grow a straw on it at any time, without biting people like a vampire, sucking people's blood is like drinking coconut juice.
Such a dangerous thing should be taken into great care. Why did it come out?
"Supervisor Hou, can this straw pierce the shield?" I put the file back on the duty desk.
"Yes, bulletproof vests, explosion-proof shields, and even, you don't need to use straws." Manager Hou's expression became serious.
He lowered his head, sighed, and said, "We sacrificed four excellent field staff to get it into the warehouse."
I was shocked and wanted to say that you asked me to change to four!
"I heard them say...something seems to be unmistakable to you..." Manager Hou paused twice in one sentence, obviously thinking about the words, afraid that it would not be tactful enough.
"Yes." I admitted generously, and didn't want to cover it up. Manager Hou nodded and smiled.
I think it was a bit beyond his expectations for my admission, and it also made him feel a little relaxed.
Such a dangerous thing is only the leader's verbal promise. If I refuse to help, he can only give up.
This means that he may lose four administrators tonight, at least four.
"Team leader Leng, I dare not fight other offers, but they are administrators who are not inferior to field. They will follow you later. If you are in danger, they will take ensuring your safety as the priority principle of action."
"Supervisor Hou, I will just ask, can I destroy that thing at a critical moment?"
“This…can’t.”
"I understand, then you don't have to go in with me later."
"Team leader Leng, we all know your strength. It is indeed very strong, but as the head of the warehouse, I can't let you handle items alone."
"Don't you believe me?"
"No, absolutely no, I'm not going to mean that, I-"
"It's okay to help, but I have to go in alone. I will be distracted by one more person. At that time, I will not be able to protect my life from myself and others. If you have any difficulties, I won't force you, please ask for a good man."
No one in the newcomer in the unit would speak with such a tough attitude to the old comrades, but it is a different story to say that the master is a "hidden expert". I am naturally a "hidden expert" and my temper is naturally different from a novice in the workplace. It is impossible to go completely at the pace of others.
When someone is present, my invulnerable secret will be revealed. Instead of taking this risk, it is better to refuse to help him and offend others. I often offend others and get used to it.
Manager Hou frowned and thought for a while, and could see that he was really worried. Maybe he was afraid that something would happen to me, so he would have to take a lot of responsibility.
Finally he nodded and said he wanted to tie a rope to me. As long as it was wrong, they would pull the rope outside and pull me out.
I thought to myself, no wonder the "tour guide" administrator reacted that day. The force of knocking the door was amazing. He was really anxious. He knew what was inside. If the door was closed slowly, he would be in danger of his life.
I thought of the eyes I caught again, which turned out to be dug from the young child in the neighbor's house.
In just a moment, I didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, only noticed those eyes.
Manager Hou asked someone to carry a box. This box is no different from an ordinary safe. It is just that it is large in size. The door of the box is open and there is a bag of blood bags inside.
It is obviously a childish trap. Will the blood-sucking divine tree be deceived?
They carried the box into the warehouse where the shoe cabinet was located, placed next to the shoe cabinet, then exited and guarded the door.
In a while, they will close the warehouse door, leave me inside, and open the shoe cabinet to lure the gods out.
I tied a rope around my waist and stood in front of the shoe cabinet. Suddenly I fell into deep thought. On the intercom, the supervisor Hou asked me if I was ready?
I said wait a moment, I was thinking about things, and Director Hou asked me to prepare and tell them.
I stood in front of the cabinet door and suddenly thought of a question. The administrator heard footsteps before, and the sound came and went freely. It appeared whenever I wanted to appear, and disappeared whenever I wanted to disappear. Does it mean that the thing can enter and exit the cabinet freely?
When we came, the cabinet was clearly locked, without any false cover, and no gaps left. So the problem is, since it can run out without opening the cabinet, is it still there now?
Manager Hou and his friends had never opened the cabinet because they had not found a suitable person to pack the goods. After that, they did not hear footsteps, so they decided that the thing was still hiding in the cabinet.
That may not be!
I said in my heart, ready to face the attack, notify Manager Hou with a walkie-talkie, and then use the key to open the cabinet door.
The blood bag in the safe was leaking, and the smell of blood drifted out of it, but the cabinet was empty.
Crack...
Two light sounds appeared behind me, and I turned around suddenly and met a pair of eyes, which seemed to be living people, and the eyeballs turned left and right respectively, with a wooden head, a wooden face, and a wooden bun on top of my head.
Its height is about the same as mine, a punch shorter than me, and its head is the same size as a normal person's head, but its limbs are particularly thin, its body is thin, and it is wearing the embroidered shoes on its feet.
Its feet are smaller than normal people's feet, so they can wear these shoes.
It is said to be a wood carving, but it looks more like a tree man. It opens its mouth, with no teeth or tongue in its mouth, but it looks like a funnel inside. A strange suction force is generated from the mouth of the funnel, as if it is going to suck my blood away through the skin.
Don't think about it, don't give a single drop!
I was anxious. It would be fine if it was stabbed with a straw. Anyway, I would carry it, but this evil force seemed to be able to ignore the shell.
To be continued...
