   Chapter 692 The Secret Under the Whale Island

   Countdown to 144:00:00.

  The Agricultural College is brightly lit.

   "Everyone work a little more neatly. The two reproductions of this return cannot go wrong. Each fruit may be related to a human life. Please be careful, and don't break the fruit."

   Xiaosan still had bandages on his hands, and Xiaoqi spared no effort to lead everyone to a new round of transplantation.

   Double, double, double.

  The crop yields on Whale Island have reached terrifying numbers.

   If all goes well, each time traveler in City No. 10 should be able to eat four Longevity Fruits the next time they cross.

   By then, the odds of survival for all will be greatly increased.

  Everyone knows that the result of the Rat Tide disaster will occur during the next crossing, which will be a fierce battle.

   However, I saw Sun Chuci, Tuanzi and others carefully picking Changshengtian, for fear of breaking it accidentally, which would cause problems with subsequent planting.

   Now they are not dealing with fruits, but with lives and hopes.

  Qingchen returned to the Agricultural College, but saw that Zard and Xiaoyu moved a table from nowhere, and then the two sat next to them peeling crayfish...

  Zard went to ask for two crayfish in the name of Qingchen with Qingchen's approval, intending to have a good time while Xiaozao is free.

  As a result, when the canteen chef heard that this was a late-night snack for the little dean, he even cooked ten servings for them in one go.

   However, the two peeled the shrimp not for themselves, but for Li Tongyun and Jinguji Maki at the table...

  I saw Xiaoyu peeling the crayfish very patiently, and then put it on the small plate in front of Jinguji Maki. After peeling it for a long time, I didn't eat a single one, but she was still smiling.

   Zard too.

   "Xiao Tongyun, Xiao Zhenji, why are you two here?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"Let's come and see you," Li Tongyun said, "I originally planned to go back when you weren't there, but Zard and Xiaoyu pulled me away. If I wanted to peel the shrimp for us, Xiaozhenji and I were exhausted. ."

  Zard laughed happily: "It turns out that peeling shrimp for others can be so happy."

   Qingchen looked at Li Tongyun: "You should have other things, right?"

  Li Tongyun got up and wiped his hands, then took Qingchen and Xiaozhenji and walked outside.

Coming to the edge of the sea cliff, Xiao Tongyun said in a low voice: "I bring Xiao Zhenji to practice rock climbing every day, and one time I stayed late. She said that after 12 o'clock, there seem to be many kind people below this whale island. The voice was calling her, of course, not only kind, but also a very evil voice."

   Qingchen frowned: "Under Whale Island?"

   Before that, even Kunlun had never looked into what the bottom of the Whale Island looked like, and never went down to check it out.

  In everyone's mind, an island is an island, there must be a reef below, and there will be nothing else.

   But now, the bottom of Whale Island doesn't seem to be as simple as imagined. Qingchen decided to go down and have a look: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go down and take a look."

   "Will it be dangerous?" Li Tongyun asked.

"No," Qing Chen said, "don't worry about the ghosts and ghosts below this whale island. If you could come out and jump, you would have come out long ago, and you won't stay at the bottom of the sea and call Xiao Maki. If you haven't come out yet, just It means that they can't get out by their own strength, and they want the help of Xiao Maki."

   This is the simplest logic.

  Qingchen asked Maki to realize a waterproof flashlight, and then jumped off a twenty-meter cliff.

  The two little girls waited nervously on the shore, until the light of the flashlight sank into the depths of the sea and was covered by the black waves.

  Qingchen runs the Knight's True Qi and breathes through his skin.

   He originally thought that diving would be a very difficult task, but later found that when he dived to a position of about 10 meters, there was a gentle suction that slowly brought him to the bottom of the whale island.

  The mountain at the bottom of Whale Island is getting narrower and narrower, like an upside down snow mountain.

   Qingchen judged the strength of the suction from time to time to decide whether or not to leave this inexplicable vortex.

  Otherwise, if you are sucked into some unknown place, it will be dangerous.

   However, that suction was not enhanced by the increase in depth.

   As he sank, he used a flashlight to look at the rock wall at the bottom of Whale Island, but it turned out that there was no moss or seaweed.

  I don't know how long it has passed, but Qingchen just felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, his vision became brighter, and there was a soft purple light shining through in front of him!

  This is already the bottom layer of Whale Island, and what suddenly appeared in front of Qingchen... was an island village that was upside down.

  There are upside-down cherry trees growing in the village, and the soft purple light is released by the long-lasting cherry blossoms on the trees.

   All kinds of swimming fish shuttle in the cherry tree canopy, sometimes slow, sometimes speeding up.

  The sea water is clear and transparent, and this scene is beautiful.

  Qingchen stared at this scene in a daze, no one would have thought that there was such a magnificent appearance under the whale island.

  In the village, triangular wooden houses are scattered upside down at the bottom of Whale Island, and there are terraces extending in the distance, neat and tidy.

   In front of the log cabin, there is also a stone mortar used for making rice cakes, in which there is an octopus that likes to drill holes to rest.

   There is a well with a diameter of two meters in the middle of the village. Qingchen suddenly realized that all the suction under the water comes from this well, which is continuously swallowing seawater into the interior of Whale Island.

   At this time, Qingchen saw a few red groupers slowly upstream from the stone well, but they were accidentally sucked into the well.

   His heart froze, if he was sucked into Ishii, it would be very dangerous, right?

   However, in the next moment, just seconds after the red grouper was sucked into Ishii, Ishii actually spit out the red grouper again.

   Qingchen was puzzled, doesn't this stone well swallow living objects?

He floated in the water and continued to look at other places. He saw a huge temple at the end of the road in the village. There were more than 100 people in kimonos sitting at the entrance of the temple with their eyes closed. There were men and women. Dress gorgeously.

  Beside these people, there are also the demons that Qingchen had seen in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, all sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the whale island. These people's legs were all tied to the bottom of the whale island by iron cables.

   Qingchen's world is completely opposite to them, which makes him feel very strange.

   Looking further into the temple, I could even see an eight-headed snake trapped on a stone pillar in the courtyard, and each of its heads was ruthlessly chained to the stone pillar by black iron cables.

   The next moment, the eight heads of the tens of meters of giant snake actually opened their eyes.

  It struggled and shook on the stone pillar, and opened its **** mouth, revealing the fangs inside.

  The lips of more than 100 people outside the temple began to open and close, not knowing what they were meditating. As their lips moved slightly, the iron rope on the giant snake became tighter and tighter, suppressing the giant snake.

   Qingchen stared at this scene in a daze, is this all shikigami? Is it the shikigami that Genji ancestors once controlled?

  Shadow once said that after Genji disappeared at sea, the onmyoji of the gods began to decline little by little, and the number of shikigami did not increase but decrease.

   Zheng Yuandong said that Genji once held a huge and powerful shikigami, and they all sank to the bottom of the sea with the ancestors of Genji.

  So...if the taboo of Whale Island is that the ancestor of Genji and the giant whale precipitated together, then these creatures trapped at the bottom of Whale Island are probably all shikigami controlled by the ancestor of Genji himself, right?

   Now, the meaning of the existence of the shikigami outside the temple is to suppress the giant snake, and Xiao Maki said that there is an evil voice at the bottom of the sea, which may be this giant snake.

  This village is where Genji once lived.

  The reason why the wellhead absorbs seawater is because it converts the energy of the seawater into the force that can make the purple orchid star grow rapidly on the whale island.

Qingchen had always been puzzled before. Although Jingdao has the rule that "everything that grows on Jingle Island cannot leave the island", although the Agricultural College is foreign, the energy it needs to grow is real, and it really helps The practitioner, and after the practitioner left Whale Island, the power was not withdrawn by the rules.

   This power... must have a source, right?

  In the beginning, Qingchen thought that the energy came from the fallen giant whale. After all, it is not unusual for an extraordinary creature of that level to support an island. After all, even Qianchi of the God Generation can support a city of rats.

   But in this case, the energy on the whale island will always be exhausted one day, which is the reason why Qingchen didn't want to blindly breed purple orchid stars before.

   He worries that Whale Island will one day be drained.

   But now Qingchen understands that the forbidden object of Whale Island itself does not provide energy, its energy all comes from sea water.

Qingchen slowly swam to the sea. He already knew what was going on at the bottom of Whale Island. As for those shikigami on the bottom of the sea... I'm afraid I have to wait for Jinguji Maki himself to pass a few life and death tests before collecting it himself. He wasn't sure if he came down with blood rashly, and would inexplicably release the bound giant snake. The ghost knows how powerful that thing is.

   After seeing the wonders of the seabed, Qingchen became more and more curious about what kind of creatures lived in the forbidden forest on the ground of Whale Island.

  …

  …

   Countdown to 136:00:00.

   At 8:00 in the morning, Qingchen came to the lecture hall on time.

   There were already dozens of Kunlun members waiting here. Their faces were calm, but everyone clenched their fists nervously.

  Lu Yuan said: "Yesterday, there were too few operators for you, and I couldn't keep up with your rhythm. Today I deployed twice as many people to help you."

  Qingchen looked at the Kunlun members in front of him: "It will be very tiring."

  Lu Yuan said: "As long as you can avenge the iodophors and the others by doing this, we will be fine even if we don't sleep."

  Qingchen said solemnly: "Yes, everyone goes back to their jobs, let's get started. Call me the video on screens 130-165 today, and go back to a month ago. I'm going to look for clues!"

The video brought back by   iodine is the surveillance data for the past three months.

   Ke Qingchen only has 7 days. Even if he plays it at eight times the speed, he can't finish watching 90 days of video content. If he wants to finish it, it will take at least 11 days.

   This is still when Qingchen does not eat, sleep, or go to the toilet.

   At this time, Qingchen must take a risk and play the video at 16x speed, which can save more time.

   But in this way, Qingchen must first narrow the scope of analysis, otherwise the amount of information in the 16x speed and the entire area will be enough to make him collapse.

   Now, screens 130-165 are the traffic cameras in District 5.

Lu Yuan asked curiously: "What are you looking for in this area? I remember you didn't watch it three days before the outbreak of the rat tide yesterday. If you want to find the rat king, don't you have to look in the last few days? Why do you still need it? Watch a video from a month ago?"

   "Of course not," Qingchen explained: "When all the questions are asked, the answers are actually written in the past."

   He sat in the last row of the lecture hall, silently watching those screens playing at sixteen times the speed.

   is from morning to noon, noon to evening, and evening to midnight.

   At this time, Lu Yuan and the others suddenly saw Qing Chen bleeding from his nose.

  Kunlun members really understand how hard Qing Chen is. If they were them, they would be dazzled just by fast-forwarding one video, not to mention watching dozens of videos like Qing Chen.

   Luyuan asked someone to bring a napkin and silently handed it to Qingchen.

  Qingchen just wiped away the nosebleed without any intention of stopping.

   The next moment, Qingchen stood up and shouted: "Rewind the videos 131, 137, 141, and 147 for me to slow down 30 minutes ago!"

  Lu Yuan was taken aback. It was the first time that Qing Chen had spoken since the morning. The Kunlun members who were originally assigned a lot were suffocated to death.

   Just when everyone thought there would be nothing to gain today, Qingchen finally spoke up!

  I saw the boy get up and come to these screens, carefully observing something.

   Lu Yuan and the others held their breaths for fear of disturbing Qing Chen's thinking.

But listened to Qingchen pointing at the left wall: "Open the 12th, 19th, 31st, 47th... "

  Accurate numbers kept popping out of Qingchen's mouth. Kunlun members hurriedly operated. The originally black screen on the wall was opened according to the serial number he designated, and then switched to the time period designated by Qingchen.

  Qingchen observed for a while, then said, "Open 20, 37 for me again..."

   At this moment, everyone quieted down.

  Kunlun members realized that Qingchen had found a clue!

  The clue is so important that Qingchen couldn't help standing up!

They saw a convoy of transports entering from the southern border gate, and they seamlessly moved from one screen to another, as if a convoy was driving past the wall. The timing of this video splicing is so clever that it makes people think To shoot the case to wow!

   Slowly, while the transport convoy was traveling, the lead car suddenly left the line and drove towards the fifth district.

  Everyone was in this lecture hall, watching it drive into the fifth district from among the dark screens, then came to the fifth district bird building, and drove into the parking lot.

  The video ends here.

Qingchen said: "This transport fleet will go back and forth between the 10th city and the 20th city every 3 days, and is responsible for transporting beef and mutton from the north. According to the normal route, they should arrive at the third district together, and then the Food Quarantine Bureau will check them. The goods were randomly checked three times and eventually flowed into the high-end market in City No. 10. The first car was carrying raw meat food and did not go to the third district, which is an illegal act in itself, and they have never done this before.”

  Qingchen continued: "Moreover, screens 131 and 137 are all high-definition cameras, and the third area is all high-definition. As you can see, the drivers of this team are very stable and have never changed, except this time."

  The members of Kunlun looked at each other, what kind of brain, what kind of calculation and analysis ability do you need to notice that a driver has changed in a team on so many screens? !

   This is too scary!

Qingchen said: "It's not as simple as changing a driver. In the past, drivers did not wear Bluetooth headsets when driving, but this time they put them on. Come on, Xiaoying, zoom in on the No. 131 high-definition camera. Okay, it's confirmed, they With bluetooth headsets indeed, they're on a mission."

Qingchen looked at Lu Yuan: "If you want to create a rat tide, there is a precondition, that is, the body of Qianchi Kamidai must be transported to City No. 10, so as long as you find this mode of transportation, you will also find the body of Qianchi Kamidai. , also found the rat king."

He pointed to screen 149: "The Bird Building parking lot, right here. As far as I know, the federal sewer access is habitually built on the edge of the underground parking lot, which is more convenient and saves costs. So they are Enter the sewer through here, and put the body of Chiaki Kashiro in it."

  In the lecture hall, everyone was speechless.

   Everyone always felt that this moment was extremely magical, but they had to admit that everything Qingchen analyzed had traces to follow.

   Lu Yuan heard what Qing Chen just said, "When all questions are asked, the answers are actually written in the past".

   This is Qingchen's answer!

   Lu Yuan scratched his head in distress, why can't he say such words, how can he not have the same brain as Qingchen?

However, Qingchen's analysis did not end, he said to the operator: "screens 134 and 137, please call me back 24 hours ago. Since someone is carrying out the task, how can the suspicious and cunning character of Kamidai Chichi be? Maybe not supervising the execution of the mission? This plan is too important, he must watch his body be put in with his own eyes! Therefore, before the vehicle drives in, Kashiro Chiaki himself, or the person he trusts the most, Definitely going in and out of the Bird Building, or wandering outside the parking lot.”

   However, this time Qingchen did not find any suspicious characters.

  Qingchen said to himself: "How come? You must be here."

   Lu Yuan asked: "Will he live inside? That way he can monitor the execution of the mission plan without going in or out at all."

Qingchen looked at Lu Yuan in surprise: "Sleeping on the rat tide? Don't you think you are dying fast enough... This must be the first place where the rat tide broke out in the fifth district, he won't be so stupid. The video around No. 134 and No. 137 All turned on, he must be hiding in the blind spot of the surveillance video, which is easy to do, but he will definitely leave that area, and I want to expand the search."

   Qingchen's eyes shone brightly, and he knew that he was very close to the other party.

   The video was playing non-stop, and Qingchen's eyes began to feel sour. This was the first time he had sour eyes after drinking Jingshan tea.

   But at this moment, Qing Chen suddenly said loudly: "Stop!"

   Kitty Hawk and others immediately pressed the pause button.

   Qingchen laughed.

   He looked at a young man with sunglasses in the corner of screen 148, and smiled very happily.

   Lu Yuan followed his gaze: "Has this person appeared in other videos and what did he do?"

"It's not normal because he has never appeared in other videos," Qingchen said calmly: "Within 8 hours, the total number of floating population in District 5 reached 210,000, and all of them appeared in each surveillance 6 times in total. More than once, he was the only one who appeared out of nowhere, and only appeared this time."

Got you!
