Night Watchman - C276

Initially, when I scanned the area with my flashlight, I didn’t find anything amiss. I thought that I was just imagining things and the reaction of the wooden cow wasn’t very obvious, so I didn’t think too much about it.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to walk in, Hua Zi stopped me, “Brother Zhou, there seems to be something here! Although I don’t know what’s going on right now, I still feel uneasy! ”

It wasn’t a misconception on my part, but that there was something special about this cave!

After hearing what Hua Zi said, I started to look straight at him. Before entering, I first threw in a cold firework.

The ignition of the Cold Smoke Bomb was extremely low and it had been burning for a long time. More importantly, it was bright enough to light up the entire cave.

The moment the Cold Smoke Flames hit the ground, the wooden cow in my hand started to heat up violently!

However, what was inconceivable was that although the wooden bull in my hand issued a strong warning, it only lasted for a split-second. It started to react almost at the same time the Cold Smoke Bomb landed on the ground, but after rolling a few times without moving, it was as if nothing had happened!

It was also the first time that I had encountered such a situation. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but furrow my brows in suspicion as I carefully observed the situation within the cave.

In the small cave, other than the manmade high platform and the sarcophagus in the center of the cave, there was only a strange lizard-like statue that was crawling on the surrounding walls.

The statues varied in size, some were short and some were long. The big one was about the size of a person, and its length was more than three meters. The small one was about the size of a normal gecko, and it was only a few centimeters long. Thousands of large and small statues completely occupied the ten-meter high walls, and even the ceiling of the cavern was filled with these sculptures.

However, these statues did not resemble a gecko, but instead some sort of ferocious beast! Furthermore, the claws of the lizard statues were extremely sharp, unlike the flat toes of the gecko.

Although these things look very sinister and make people uncomfortable, they are at best just statues and cannot pose any threat to us at all. Even if the bad feelings in me and Hua Zhai came from these things, where did the warning come from?

The Cold Smoke Bomb illuminated the entire cave. Other than these items, there was nothing else in the cave!

“Damn you, could it be that these statues have anti-theft mechanisms?”

With that, he threw the remaining half of the climbing rope into the cave.

The moment the rope was thrown into the cave, the wooden cow in my hand started to heat up!

Seeing this, I hastily stretched out my hand to push back the board!

However, the baffling thing was that even though the wooden cow in my hand warned me once again, the time was shorter than before. It seemed to have disappeared in a flash!

Following which, the board shakes the mountain-climbing rope in my hand to throw around the cave, but my wooden cow doesn’t react at all.

Looking at the snake like climbing rope that was everywhere in the cave, I couldn’t figure out what was going on, so I turned to look at Hua Zi. At this moment, Hua Zi’s frown was even tighter than mine, as if he was thinking about something extremely important.

“What did you think of?”

“I remember my master telling me one of the weirdest things that happened to him. It was very similar to what happened here, but he passed out due to an accident. He didn’t even know how he got out, nor did he know what happened after he fainted.”

The young man’s words immediately piqued his interest. In order to safely find the exit, I couldn’t help but to be patient as I listened to the weirdest thing that happened to his master.

When he had just retired to the Public Security Department, his master had already passed the age of retirement. In order to investigate that matter, his master had reported it to his superiors, delaying the retirement age by ten years!

Hua Zi’s master, Li Kangsheng, had entered the Public Security Department at the age of twenty as a father. At that time, Li Kangsheng also had a strong fighting spirit and wanted to do something for the people. However, he didn’t want the Cultural Revolution to erupt the second year after he entered the public security department.

Ten years of cultural revolution could be said to be the greatest disaster for the entire Chinese nation! In the Cultural Revolution, there were cases of people suffering grievances and having their families ruined and their families killed. It could be said that it was a disaster to the ancient monuments and tombs of the ancient kings and emperors that were passed down by the Chinese people!

At that time, Li Kangsheng could only watch as countless people were humiliated, but he was unable to do anything about it. In despair, he transferred to a remote town in Shaanxi Province to contribute a small amount of effort to the construction there.

Although Shaanxi was a country town belonging to the northeast and had a simple and honest folk style, the town Li Kangsheng lived in was a remote town in Xianyang Gan County. However, it couldn’t withstand the momentum of the Red Guards scattered all over the country.

Li Kangsheng had just arrived at Qian Ling Village in Qian County to work. On the night of the second month, a group of more than a hundred Red Guards majestically rushed in.

Originally, under the education of that era, Li Kangsheng hated the feudal ruling class to the bone, but after witnessing the many tragic and grievous cases with his own eyes, he instinctively resisted the Red Guards. He was timid like a tiger, let alone working with him!

He saw that the Red Guards were headed for the Qian Ling County, so he didn’t care too much about them. On the contrary, he just wanted those Red Guards who didn’t care about where they were to be found to be just a bunch of idiots on Liang Shan!

Although he was extremely disgusted with the Red Guards, in order to not cause trouble, he had no choice but to respectfully find guides for them and send them into the mountains that very night. He never expected that his wish to see the Red Guards fall head over heels would actually come true!

After the Red Guards entered Liang Mountain, they had no news of them, and Li Kangsheng continued to lead his own life even after sending them off. If it weren’t for the fact that the county leaders had come a few days ago to inquire about the whereabouts of the Red Guards, he would have really forgotten about this matter!

Since someone from above had come, Li Kangsheng could only follow the orders from above. Under the cooperation of the local militia, he sent out half of his police to search the mountain.

But two days later, not to mention the Red Guards, even the militia and police officers who entered the mountain later disappeared without a trace!
