The time reminder of the sower is like a ghost, reminding humans of his existence again at a specific time.
Time: 15:20 pm.
There are still 8 hours and 49 minutes until the hatching of the second-generation Nightmare Weaver.
Bureau of City Planning.
What Wang Ji can see is always above the surface, and today's city is no longer what it looked like in the long-ago Renaissance or even when North America was independent. arrived.
In the Urban Planning Bureau, there is a complete set of city models and maps for viewing, and even the underground subway routes are very clear. It is not without reason that Wang Ji came here.
A place without sunlight is of course dark, but there can only be one location pointed by the courier clue. Inquiring, understanding, and observing are the quickest ways. Wang Ji needs to determine the deepest, darkest and darkest place in the entire city. The Urban Planning Bureau is his first choice for information collection.
Imagine a policeman wandering around the model like idlers in the exhibition hall of the Urban Planning Bureau. A woman with light makeup came up.
The staff asked with a smile: "Comrade, do you need help with anything?"
"How many meters underground is the lowest subway line in our city?" Wang Ji turned his head to look at the staff, pointed to the model display of the subway planning and asked, "I'm talking about related construction and maintenance. The deepest part that can be reached."
"This..."
The lesbian's face became a little embarrassed. Although she works here, she really doesn't know about these things. On the display of the subway line structure, the lowest subway line is Line 9, with a depth of 45.6 meters, but the surrounding maintenance She doesn't know how deep the subway staff can reach the construction.
"Same as Line 9."
A male staff member on the other side of the exhibition hall said affirmatively.
Wang Ji asked: "What about the air-raid shelter? The deepest air-raid shelter."
"The deepest air-raid shelter is on the Xingyang Ancient Road in the south of the city. If you ask the local old people, they will show you the way. The deepest depth is about 90 meters from the surface. That was when there were Soviet experts during the Cold War. It was built." The male staff seemed to know the city very well.
Wang Ji looked back at the subway station, "Where is the lowest place in the whole city?"
The staff replied: "In the groundwater development zone of Chengyuan Company, the deepest underground well is more than 100 meters."
Wang Ji asked: "Is there any underground structure in their company's development zone?"
"This is not an area we can manage." The staff replied.
"Thank you."
Wang Ji nodded, thanked the staff, turned around and walked out quickly, and stopped a taxi.
"Master, Chengyuan Company Groundwater Development Zone."
…
Time: 15:51 pm.
There are still 8 hours and 08 minutes until the hatching of the second-generation Nightmare Weaver.
Chengyuan Company Groundwater Development Zone.
"I need to see a map of your company's underground well."
"Here it is."
Led by the employees of the company, Wang Ji saw the work instruction map of the underground well in the hall, the depth of which was 120 meters from the deepest point of the ground. Wang Ji pointed to the bottom floor and asked, "How about the security facilities here, and how about the lighting?"
"It is all modern facilities, lighting and emergency facilities are all available, fully in line with national safety standards."
After carefully confirming Wang Ji's identity, the company's hostesses were in charge of entertaining this unexpected guest. They would not be happy with any police officers who entered the criminal investigation department from any company.
Wang Ji's language is clean and neat: "I need to confirm the safe maintenance channel at the bottom, please arrange for me to go down immediately."
…
After waiting for fifteen minutes, Wang Ji finally put on his hard hat and stood on the elevator shaft accompanied by the waiter. The place. Although Wang Ji didn't say it clearly, the waiter was very cooperative. Perhaps in the eyes of the waitress, this is not a good thing. The police may be solving the case, and some key items of the case are hidden underground, and it is very likely that they are here, such as the corpse , broken limbs and the like.
The bottom of the well.
"There is indeed a passage, which is completely dark and needs searchlights. It is usually used for maintenance of some small water pipes. However, that passage has been eliminated and is in an abandoned state. According to the company's requirements, the key is in my hand In fact, it will not be allowed without special circumstances, and obviously, I don't think you will like it. It is very humid and dark, there is a water source at the end, and there are stone holes on all sides. Not even a mouse can be found. This passage has no Outsiders know, only us old employees who have worked for more than 30 years know what it does. I don’t think your colleagues may leave you any clues there.”
The person in charge at the bottom of the well is an old man over fifty years old. After hearing about Wang Ji's intentions, he explained the situation to Wang Ji readily.
Wang Ji said seriously: "I need to go in."
"Okay, since you are so dedicated, I will take you there. Take the searchlight, Xiao Liu, wait outside."
The person in charge at the bottom of the well took the searchlight, took the key, and led Wang Ji to the abandoned passage. The iron door opened, and the old man said, "I'll take care of your feet, put on a hood, and hold on to the railings. The stairs here are slippery, and the road is also slippery. Walk by the wall."
The searchlight in the old man's hand shines on the foot, and the searchlight in his hand shines on the road ahead. After walking down a few steps, even with the searchlight, the underground still feels infinitely dark, except for the reflection of the spot where the light shines. , the rest of the place is terribly dark.
Wang Ji supported the wet stone wall with his hands, and followed the old man about 50 meters away. A wooden box with a gold border appeared in the field of vision of the searchlight.
"Where did this box come from?"
The old man's face was a little surprised, why is there a box in the passage.
In the humid environment, the box looked very dry. Wang Ji squeezed past the person in charge and opened the wooden box.
There are a few graffiti inside, a demon head puppet with horns, the blood under the head is sewn into pieces with red cotton, it looks like it should be a separate item, not torn off.
Wang Ji took out his phone and checked the vibrating message. There was only a mess of garbled characters on the phone screen and no text.
He glanced up at the old man, and found that the other party was also looking at his mobile phone. Wang Ji speculated that the information on the No. A experimental machine could only be read by himself, so he turned his back on the bottom of the well. people. Sure enough, a message was displayed on the phone screen.

"I want to move this box away."
Wang Ji patted the box and picked it up.
"Up to you." The person in charge shook his head indifferently, "If this is what you're looking for."
…
Time: 16:26 pm.
There are still 7 hours and 33 minutes until the hatching of the second-generation Nightmare Weaver.
"Master, take me to the nearest National Library."
In the taxi, Wang Ji began to collect the last experimental item, hoping to find the last experimental item before five o'clock, otherwise, from that time on, the students who leave school, the adults who get off work, and the parents who pick up their children Everyone will go out together until seven o'clock in the evening, and the traffic in the whole city will not be very good.

"Thank you very much, I will return it when I use it up."
Wang Ji folded the graffiti back into the envelope and put it in his pocket. Ten minutes later, Wang Ji arrived at the nearest National Library. According to the classification, he found the location of Lawrence's work. D.H Lawrence's works Wang Ji have read, some works have extremely bold descriptions.

"The collection is complete."
Wang Ji put the book back to its original location, and walked out of the National Library with the experimental items he got. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and it was almost dusk. The summer of the year is over, and the sudden dusk has left many citizens at a loss. It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still nearly seven hours before the completion time limit of the experimental mode.
"The leather shoes hurt my feet. I need to go back to the rental house to change my clothes. Otherwise, if I need a lot of exercise to deal with the nightmare weaver, I will be very passive." Wang Ji stood outside the National Library waiting for a taxi, Turning his ankles and running around in leather shoes all afternoon, he felt uncomfortable in his feet.
At this moment, his cell phone rang, and Wang Ji took it out to check, it was Team Liu. He picked up the phone.
"Hey, Team Liu."
"How do you feel about fooling around all afternoon?"
"Liu team, I found some clues."
"Don't give me less..."
"I found a clue during my visit in Fuhe Mountain Forest Park."
Wang Ji repeated the message, and the scolding from the phone stopped. Wang Ji is aware of his current physical condition, he now needs a period of time for rest and eating.
So at this time, if you can use your identity to find a helper that you can use, it is a sensible thing.
The current situation is obvious, if Team Liu doesn't believe him, he must listen to his report first.
