Chapter 247
Security guard Lao Quan felt his body suddenly numb, and a tingling sensation like an electric current instantly spread throughout his body, making him tremble involuntarily. This feeling was like countless ants crawling wildly on his body, gnawing at his skin and nerves, bringing endless pain. He widened his eyes and wanted to call for help, but his throat seemed to be locked and he couldn't make a sound.
As this strange power continued to spread, Lao Quan's vision began to blur, and everything around him became hazy. The darkness surged into his heart like a tide, drowning him in it, and eventually made him lose consciousness. His body fell weakly and fell heavily on the cold ground, motionless.
The searchlight in his hand also rolled aside, and the light swayed on the ground, looking particularly helpless. The weak light struggled in the darkness, but could not illuminate this terrifying area.
Security guard Lao Wu heard the movement and looked in the direction of Lao Quan in panic. His face was pale, like a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood. His lips kept trembling, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
"Lao Quan! What's wrong with you?" He shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the darkness, but the only response was suffocating silence.
Security guard Lao Wu nervously held the flashlight in his hand, constantly shining back and forth around, trying to find the mysterious black shadow that attacked Lao Quan. His steps were a little flustered, and he didn't know which direction to go, as if he was lost in a dark maze.
Just then, a black shadow jumped over his head, bringing a breeze. Security guard Lao Wu was so scared that he almost screamed out, his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. Before he could see what it was, an electric current hit him again. Lao Wu only felt his body shaken, and then he lost consciousness in an instant.
When the security chief heard the successive sounds, a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart, and the veins on his forehead bulged, like a winding earthworm.
He shouted loudly: "Be careful! This must be the work of that reporter!"
As he spoke, he ran back and forth anxiously, and the flashlight in his hand swayed, and the swaying light added to the tense atmosphere.
The rocks on the top of the cave made a "creaking" sound from time to time, as if they would fall down at any time, which made him even more nervous. However, before he could come up with a countermeasure, a dark shadow rushed out of the darkness, as fast as lightning.
The security chief only felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he fell to the ground, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his heart was filled with resentment and fear.
The bald man was so scared that his soul was gone. His body was shaking like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and every tremor seemed to tell the fear in his heart.
His eyes were full of despair, and that despair was like a thick fog that could not be dissolved, covering his entire world.
"There really is a monster, there really is a monster!"
The bald man yelled, his voice trembling and terrified. He wanted to run away from this place full of fear, but he found that his legs were so soft that they were completely out of control, as if they were filled with lead.
Just as he was at a loss and fell into despair, an electric current suddenly hit him from behind. The bald man felt his body numb, and then his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into a coma.
The entire tunnel cave fell into a dead silence in an instant, as if time had frozen at this moment. Only the faint light flickered on the ground, like a lonely star, trying to emit the last light in the darkness.
The light was weak and powerless, as if it could be swallowed by the darkness at any time, and the shadow in the dark holding the electric baton in his hand finally slowly revealed his true face after dealing with the four members of the security team.
Zhang Xing, who had been hiding behind the stone and silently witnessing all this, was full of tension and expectation at this time. He knew clearly that this moment had finally arrived.
The next second, Zhang Xing hurriedly dodged. Although his movements were as fast as the wind, they still attracted the attention of the black shadow. The black shadow holding the electric baton was shocked all over. His perception was extremely sharp. He didn't even turn around, as if he had already predicted that there was another person in the darkness.
At that moment, Zhang Xing secretly sighed in his heart that Geng Jianhui was so alert, which was simply amazing.
The next second, the black shadow suddenly turned around, flew out in a step, and rushed towards Zhang Xing like a black lightning.
His speed was amazing, like a gust of wind passing by, bringing a slight wind sound in this dark tunnel. Zhang Xing only felt a strong pressure coming at him like a tidal wave. His heartbeat instantly accelerated, beating in his chest like a rapid drumbeat, and his breathing became rapid, as if someone was strangling his throat.
Just as the black shadow was about to reach Zhang Xing, he suddenly...He stopped again because he found that the man opposite him was pointing the searchlight at his face, revealing a familiar face.
Yes, Zhang Xing did not expect that the team leader Geng Jianhui was so agile.
Although he had expected that the person who attacked the security team was Geng Jianhui, and he waited for him to get rid of these people before he came out to meet him, he did not expect that Geng Jianhui had observed him so keenly and quickly locked his position before he even had time to say anything.
At this tense moment, Zhang Xing's mind was thinking quickly about the response strategy. He knew that he had to explain his intentions as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
So, under the circumstances of no choice, Zhang Xing could only shine the searchlight on his face so that Geng Jianhui could see his appearance clearly, hoping to ease the tense situation.
At this time, the surrounding environment was still tightly wrapped in a tense atmosphere, and the cracks on the top of the cave were like scars left by the years, as if silently telling the hidden dangers here.
The stones on the ground were scattered and muddy, making it difficult to take every step, as if trekking through a swamp full of unknowns.
The air was filled with the smell of dust, and the heavy smell made it difficult to breathe, as if every breath had to break through layers of obstacles.
"Zhang Xing?!"
Geng Jianhui was shocked. He thought it was just an ordinary figure, but it turned out to be Zhang Xing. He widened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him carefully. After confirming that it was correct, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
In this dim tunnel, Geng Jianhui's expression was particularly clear. His eyes were full of surprise and doubt, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. In this dangerous environment, he was ready to face all kinds of unknowns, but he never expected to meet Zhang Xing here.
Zhang Xing walked towards Geng Jianhui calmly. Perhaps he was too worried about Geng Jianhui. This time, he saw Geng Jianhui safe and sound under the tunnel. Zhang Xing was very relieved. He smiled, a smile of relief.
Zhang Xing called the team leader at the first time, and then hugged Geng Jianhui without hesitation. This hug was full of power, as if telling the friendship and trust between them. In this dark environment, this hug seemed particularly warm.
After the hug, the two began to talk. Geng Jianhui frowned and asked in confusion:
"Zhang Xing, why are you here?"
His voice echoed in the stone cave of the tunnel, with a hint of tension.
Zhang Xing looked at the surrounding environment. The cracks on the top of the cave still made people feel uneasy. The stones and mud on the ground seemed to remind them of the danger here.
He took a deep breath and then said slowly:
"Team leader, after I left the bureau today, I met Lao Banjiu. Lao Banjiu has told me most of the things, including the anomalies in the bureau and your endurance."
Zhang Xing's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude. He knew that Geng Jianhui had paid a lot to complete the task.
Then, Zhang Xing said sincerely: "I also apologize to you for questioning you in the office today, team leader, I really didn't know your situation at the time."
"Lao Banjiu told me that because you had a meeting with him in the morning, he found that you were a little abnormal, so he installed a special tracker on you. Later, Lao Banjiu found that you came to Guangjue Temple alone according to the location of the tracker. Lao Banjiu suspected that you were investigating Junji Watanabe, so he told me about it. Then I followed the location of the tracker to Guangjue Temple, and then I followed the clues all the way to find At the construction site in the back mountain, when I heard that a reporter had escaped into the tunnel, I suspected that the reporter should be you. "
"Later, I disguised myself as a worker on the construction site and successfully sneaked into the tunnel. Then I found the security team that was arresting you in the tunnel halfway. I followed them all the way to continue to find your whereabouts. Later, I saw the traces of electric baton attack on the back of the third security guard, so I was basically sure that you must be around."
In the dim tunnel, Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui stood opposite each other. After listening to Zhang Xing's statement, Geng Jianhui frowned slightly and said:
"In fact, after I entered Guangjue Temple, I found that someone had set a micro tracker on me. At that time, I really felt strange and surprised. I didn't expect that it was Lao Banjiu who installed it on me when I was not prepared. "
Geng Jianhui shook his head with a sigh as he spoke, "It seems that my vigilance is not as good as when I was young."
Zhang Xing waved his hand quickly and said in disagreement: "Team leader,This is not the case. The tracker of Lao Banjiu is the latest model. It has been specially modified and is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Moreover, after you confessed everything to Lao Banjiu, your psychological defense weakened, which gave Lao Banjiu a chance. "
Zhang Xing looked at the unconscious security guards around him, his eyes full of admiration, and said: "Team leader, the scene of you just dealing with six security guards in the tunnel alone is a big deal. It's even better than the agents in the movies."
Geng Jianhui smiled bitterly and said: "This is also unavoidable. They have been chasing me, and I can't investigate at ease. I can only resort to this last resort and get rid of them first."
Zhang Xing nodded and said: "But team leader, your skills really opened my eyes. I have been watching in the dark and I was sweating for you. "
After listening to Zhang Xing's praise, Geng Jianhui's face did not show any relief or joy, but a complicated expression. The complicated expression was like a web of various emotions, which was elusive.
Geng Jianhui was silent for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Xing with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice:
"Zhang Xing, in fact, you shouldn't come."
The short sentence hit Zhang Xing's heart like a heavy hammer. Zhang Xing also understood the meaning behind Geng Jianhui's complicated expression, but Zhang Xing still shook his head stubbornly and responded directly:
"No, I should come."
Zhang Xing's tone was firm and resolute, as if nothing could stop his determination.
Geng Jianhui wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed deeply:
"You shouldn't get involved in this situation. I deliberately concealed the abnormality in the bureau and got angry with you before leaving. It was nothing more than not wanting you to be involved in this mess. I went to Lao Banjiu hoping that he could take care of you if I met with an accident. But I didn't expect Lao Banjiu to tell you everything after all."
Geng Jianhui's words were full of worry and helplessness, which was his concern and love for Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing met Geng Jianhui's gaze firmly and said solemnly:
"Team leader, I understand your good intentions and your intention to protect me. Here, I sincerely thank you. But you should understand me. I am not a person who gives up halfway. In the face of difficulties and setbacks, I have always faced them head-on. Now, even if I know that the enemy may be lurking in the internal system, I must move forward. "
Geng Jianhui nodded slightly, but said with some worry: "Zhang Xing, you have to understand that this trip may be a road of no return full of dangers. "
Zhang Xing's eyes revealed courage and determination, and he responded word by word:
"Team leader, I am not afraid of risks. Jing Ji, Chi Hu, Ming Di, they were all injured while investigating the RASS case. I must give an explanation to my teammates and never let their efforts go to waste. "
Zhang Xing's words echoed in the dim tunnel like a vow, and it lasted for a long time.
Geng Jianhui looked at Zhang Xing's determined look, and a feeling of helplessness surged in his heart. He shook his head slightly, and the slight movement was full of helplessness and emotion.
He sighed softly, as if lamenting the impermanence of fate, and the sigh echoed slowly in the dim tunnel, with a hint of heaviness.
He thought, maybe this is really God's will, and he has done what he should do, but Zhang Xing finally came here. A sense of powerlessness quietly permeated his heart. He knew that the road ahead was difficult, but he could not stop Zhang Xing's determination.
Zhang Xing seemed to have noticed Geng Jianhui's emotions. He did not continue to dwell on this issue, but decisively changed the subject: "Team leader, have you found any clues in this tunnel? And what secrets are there in this sunken area?"
