Woo rumble ~

The low engine sound made the ripples on the water surface spread out continuously, and then they struck the wooden stakes on the dock beside it and then spread out.

Zhu Jue, who was carrying a black umbrella on his shoulder, used a little force on his right foot, and rows of wooden boards fixed with iron nails creaked, as if he would step into two pieces in the next moment. Looking up, he saw a large swamp forest in the rain ahead, with a large number of lush branches growing in the swamp.

Perhaps because of the sky, it always makes people feel that it is a pitch-black wall that blocks something inside that should not appear in the world.

The town of Hesai where special corpses and strange paintings were found in the southeast of Shuguang City, in the middle of the two C-level dangerous areas. There were not many residents. According to the information, the number of residents is only more than 500. Due to the special geographical location, there are fewer people in Hesai Town than outside. Most of the time, people from the town come out, and fewer people outside go in.

“The residents of Hesai Town are located in several highlands in the swamp. I have notified the town’s police station in advance to prepare police cars for you and pick you up at the local dock.”

The police officer in a uniform raincoat handed a key to Olivie's hand, and behind him was a small speedboat. The blue and white hull was easy to recognize in the dim sky, with government emblems on the side of the ship, and fists-sized searchlights hung at both ends.

At this time, the searchlight had been turned on, and two beams of light were reflected on the lake surface on both sides.

There was a middle-aged man standing in the driver's position, who was responsible for sending Zhu Jue and Olivi to Hesai Town.

"Where is the Frogmen?"

Looking back at Zhu Jue, who was slidding his phone, glanced around him and didn't notice anyone following him. Olivi asked with a frown.

"We have arrived in Hosai Town in advance. At your request, they will start a search at the location where the body was found with the help of the local police station."

The sheriff naturally did not dare to neglect the "high-ranking official" of the Archaeological Association who came to Shuguang City. Not only did he meet their requirements as much as possible, but he even completed some things in advance. If he were to be the usual ones, he would not have done such efficient actions.

"I'm lucky. After I go back, I hope you can send me a detailed information about Hesai Town, which I want to use as a reference."

Olivi was in a hurry to go to Hesai Town, and while explaining, he had already boarded the speedboat. Zhu Jue followed her and jumped into the boat, and the water line sank a little.

"Have you found who drew that painting?"

Rearing on the seat, Zhu Jue asked softly, touching the forehead of Fengchi, who was lying on the side of the boat, who was stretching his claws to paddle.

This is one of the key clues in their hands, and we must check them in detail.

"A goal has been set. After all, not everyone can control such a detailed realistic style. The other party can draw something, so it must be a reference. My own skills have also reached a certain level. I plan to unfold from two places after arriving in Hosai Town. On one side, the Frogman team searched the area where the body was discovered before to see if there would be any new discoveries. On the other side, I went with you to the residence of the deceased and the painter for investigation."

Olivi was holding an audio-visual stick in his hand. The light green light curtain with low brightness was very conspicuous in the current environment. It showed the distribution of facilities in the entire Hesai Town. Several of the key buildings were specially marked with red dots and marked with simple images. There were also several small red arrows indicating these markings.

One of them is marked with the "painter's residence", and there are also "corpses of the deceased" and "dwellings of the deceased".

At first, it was normal to drive on the river outside the swamp. Because of the rainy day, the light was a little dim and there was no problem with normal sight.

However, when the speedboat sailed into the swamp forest, the sky above the head was covered by plants that grew wildly in the rainy season, and the surrounding environment became darker and could only rely on searchlights on the side and bow of the boat to view the surrounding environment.

The trunks that were "pulled" out of the lake were covered with moss, and the wet bark was dark brown. Unknown small insects climbed on them, occasionally spreading their wings and wandering around the forest.

The "fresh" broken branches and leaves float on the water surface, and large patches of dark green duckweed are stuck around, which makes the water surface in the swamp forest look particularly dirty.

Why say "fresh"?

That's because there are real humus that have been deposited for many years under this turbid water surface. That's the "old thing"!

"If this is the case in Hosai Town, even in a clear day, it should be very dark, and the humid environment... can it really live in people?"

Looking at the pictures and photos saved on your phone, there is actually a village in this swamp, which seems a bit strange to Zhujue.

"Maybe it's because of safety."

The driver in front suddenly said,

"There has not been found in the Hesai Town that the source of mental pollution has caused people to be injured. The crime rate in the local area is also very low. So although life is not as good as the city, what everyone is pursuing now is actually quite simple... Anyway, those good things are not the turn of us, right?"

It is not difficult to understand the meaning of the words. The life of the lower-class civilians in big cities is indeed not as good as that of the people in such towns and places. If Hesai Town can really prevent human crimes while ensuring that there is no source of spiritual pollution monsters like Shuguang City, it is really nothing to endure some environmental problems.

After all, there are not many modern people who lie in the sun all day long.

It's a little bit darker, and it's always good without monsters.

Isn't it?

"It will take about five minutes to arrive at the dock in Hesai Town. Recently it is the rainy season here. Today is just the beginning and the rain will increase. So I suggest that the two prepare two raincoats in advance. If necessary, I have a shop I know in Hesai Town. It is not far from the dock. You can go and have a look. I can ask him to give them a discount price."

The driver of the speedboat turned the steering wheel, half-sided, pointed to the dark clouds gradually amassing in the sky, and said in a muffled voice.

"Thank you... are there rain boots for sale in his store?"

Before Olivia came, she changed into a lighter outfit, but if it really started to rain, the roads in Hesai Town were obviously not something that a pair of sneakers could withstand.

As she said that, she pulled Zhu Jue's sleeve and asked him to lean against him. The space inside the boat was a little narrow, and holding two umbrellas would hit each other, so she took her own hand after getting on the boat.

"Of course, I'll contact him to prepare for both of you."

The driver smiled, probably because he was thanking two big shots while pulling two guests for his friend.

But his left foot, which was placed beside the seat, kicked back without any trace, and the blue handbag was hidden inside.

The speedboat continued to move forward, and Zhu Jue pulled Duan Qingteng to tease the wind chime.

Oh ~

At one moment, the wind chime's erect ears suddenly shook, and his two claws directly pressed the vine, and a low growl with a warning.

Zhu Jue reacted immediately. He kept his handbag in Sanri Moon Taidao and pulled out the gun from his waist, and his fingers urged the right side of the gun handle. A red beam of light immediately locked the wind chime and found a strange water area.

"There's something there!"

The warning in my mind did not appear, and the distance was more than 20 meters. Zhu Jue could not sense what was hidden under the dark water surface, so he could only shout.

Olivi immediately stood up and pulled out her pistol. Compared to what Zhu Jue held, her gun was obviously much larger.

“Detection mode.”

With Olivi's order, the light curtain formed by green light swept towards the water in an instant.

Before the imaging results could appear, a black object appeared on the water surface.

"It's me! Stop taking photos!"

When he noticed the speedboat here, the person who floated out of the water reached out and shook his hand.

Zhu Jue's eyesight has always been very good. Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, he also noticed that the black thing was actually a protective layer of an outer cover. What was strange was that there was still room on both sides of the left and right when exposed to the air, occupying two pieces of fish gills that were the size of a cheek!

"The fish man potion, that is the frogman of the diving team, his own person!"

Before Olivi could speak, the driver explained first, his tone was a little anxious, afraid that the two of them would pull the trigger.

Modern divers use the previous frogman in their name, but the oxygen cylinder has long been eliminated in some professional teams, and replaced by a common ability injection, which is a more common one.

Even if it is a land duck, just give yourself a shot and you can easily close the air under the water for more than an hour. With some portable propulsion equipment, the speed in the water is no worse than that of those swimming fish.

"It's very fast and doing well. I'll ask the police station to commend them after I go back."

When Olivier boarded the ship, she realized that the frogman team had been dispatched. Unexpectedly, they had already started to act halfway through her way. She was very satisfied with this efficiency and praised her for her rare praise.

The dock in Hesai Town is a bit simple. The police station's vehicles are already waiting at the dock, and three policemen are standing with umbrellas early in the morning where the ships are mooring.

Before the speedboat landed, they waved and bowed there.

This attitude surprised both Zhu Jue and Olivia. The Archaeological Association is indeed quite famous, but it actually has nothing to do with the police station in Hesai Town. Under such circumstances, the reception staff here are still so concerned, which undoubtedly makes both of them feel flattered.

"The two of you must be tired from coming from Dawn City. We have prepared hot coffee in the car. Let's go to the police station to rest for a while before starting the investigation?"

As soon as we got ashore, a bearded policeman among the receiving policemen leaned forward and asked.

"No, I want to go to the deceased's house first."

Olivia has always been an action-oriented person, and the investigation has not yet begun, so she naturally refuses to rest.

At this time, Zhu Jue did not pay attention to the police, but turned his attention to the town.
Chapter completed!
