Chapter 452: The Pernan River Festival
Ignoring Lucy's thoughts, Nether walked to the edge of the Bonan River in this town.
In his eyes, the river was now exuding an ominous black aura, as if it could swallow everyone who came close.
There is also a sign erected in the town on the side, which reads - "There is pollution in the river, no water." ”
Of course, this kind of sign can't scare some brave people, so every year some people 'fall overboard'.
Therefore, the river festival day becomes very important, which can make the Pernang River calm, and there will not be so many events in a year.
There are also many legends about the Bai Nan River, such as the deep green water grass of the Bai Nan River, which hides a special monster, which can manipulate the corpses and souls of the drowned.
Legend has it that during the festival, people will start dreaming, and in the dream, they will have various identities, but without exception, they will die in the Pernan River for various reasons.
And when they have this kind of dream, a trace of aquatic plants will appear on their arms, and in daily life, they will also unconsciously encounter aquatic plants.
In the dream, the only way for them to escape is to escape from the territory of the Pernan River, as long as they stay away from here, then the aquatic plants will not spread for so long.
It's just that......
The young man began to run away in a panic, his eyes misty, his lips cracked.
During this time, he didn't dare to drink a little water, there was a very strange phenomenon in Xiangshu Town, that is, products from other regions could freely enter Xiangshu Town, but water was not.
All local water resources are contracted by a local water plant, whether it is tap water or bottled water, in short, as long as the water can be used in life, it comes from that water plant.
In the past, young people didn't realize that there was anything wrong with this, but now he realizes the seriousness of the problem.
All this water comes from the Pernang River, and the water of the river has a curse, as long as he drinks the water of the Pernang River, he will fall into a state of illusion and then fall into madness.
Although he was thirsty for water, he was also in a state of hallucination at the moment.
"Wait? Isn't that right here? This is the river!!" The young man suddenly felt the problem, he actually went around in circles? Once again, we came to the river.
But now wake up? It was already too late, and his footsteps involuntarily walked towards the river.
Can he be sure? Once he gets wet, then he will never wake up.
"It's moisture in the air!" the young man realized. This Pernan River surrounds the town? The large and small waterways are connected, and most of the moisture in the air comes out of that river.
So even if he doesn't drink water, as long as he is still breathing here, he will gradually hallucinate? Then come back here.
"No more? Can't escape. "The young man's eyes were full of despair and fear, and if it was just an illusion, they were afraid that they would flee from Xiangshu Town as soon as they realized it.
The problem is that someone is restricting him, and his parents were on a business trip at the same time a few days ago? I don't know why the phone can't get through, after calling the police? What he got was just to let him stay at home and drink more to restore his mood? Don't go out.
Just after waiting for a day and getting no response? He still chose to save himself.
Access to information? Ask an acquaintance? In the end, I got the answer from one person, he was chosen as a sacrifice, and he had to sacrifice to the Bai Nan River on the day of the river sacrifice, otherwise, the monsters in the Bai Nan River would riot and would crawl out of the river and harvest more lives.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the sacrifices will not escape, Xiangshu Town has set up a corresponding organization, just to ensure that the annual sacrifices will not escape and die with peace of mind.
Of course, those who have been working for the Pernang River for a long time will also have the privilege of not being chosen.
It is in the best interest to be chosen, usually those who don't know anything, and then die like that.
It's just why, the chosen ones don't want to die either, so they always struggle.
This time there were five people in the sacrifice, and the young man was one of them, and he quietly contacted several of them, as well as the vehicles from other places, and planned to leave, but just after leaving the town gate, someone shot and burst the tires of the car.
He fled separately from the others, expecting to be able to stay away from the river, but he didn't expect to come directly to the river.
He had seen that in the river, the dark green aquatic plants had been removed, and a monster was looking at him from within, with playful eyes.
At this moment, a hand patted him on the shoulder and handed over a bottle of water of unknown brand.
"The young man sees that you are going to jump into the river with thirst, do you want a bottle of water?" asked Nether.
The young man was stunned, stretched out his hand to take the water, and looked at the person opposite, his vision was blurred and hallucinations were entangled, what he saw was not very real, just a vague feeling, this person was so handsome.
Then I thought that I was about to jump into the river, and before I was killed by the river, I might as well drink some normal water.
He easily twisted the cap of the bottle and poured it directly into his stomach, feeling the moisture of the water, and the hallucinations and tiredness that plagued him magically disappeared.
At the same time, there was only a trace of water grass on his arm, but now there was a trace of a skeletal sheep's head suddenly.
"What is this?" his sober sanity made him instantly realize that something was not normal.
How could he be stopped so easily in his uncontrollable state of about to jump into the river, and even stop to drink water.
"A deal. Nether said, "This is what you craved most in your heart at that time, I gave it to you, you accepted it, and the deal was done." ”
Looking at the mark, the young man sensed that something was wrong: "You said a transaction, so what do I pay with?"
"Young people are very smart, see if there is a mark, there is usually this kind of mark, you know what it is, the payment for the transaction is naturally your soul, and when you die, your soul will be mine. Nether said approvingly.
The young man couldn't help but step back, his face full of regret, what is this TM called, selling himself with a bottle of water?
"Does this bottle of water have any special abilities?" but although full of regret, the young man still asked.
"No, it's just an ordinary bottle of water, and the reason why you can get rid of the illusion is because when your body is normally hydrated, the water with things can't affect you. Nether explained.
So I exchanged my soul for a bottle of water. "The young man only felt that he was going to die.
"Young man, don't be so greedy, think about it, this bottle of water saved your life, and after you die, I will rob your soul with the things in the river, and I will only make a little money on this deal." ”
"Of course, I'm actually not satisfied with your current soul, so I'm going to give you a little after-sales service. Nether said, "There is only one other evil spirit that can fight against this evil spirit." ”
"As far as I know, there is actually another evil spirit in your town, don't look at me, I will only have one deal with you, and that evil spirit comes from the name of your town, Xiangshu Town. ”
"If you can provoke it together, then two evil spirits collide, and you may have a way to live. Nether suggested with a smile.
"Then that's it, you have to be a little faster, a bottle of water won't last long, then goodbye, I hope that when you say goodbye, your soul will shine a little brighter. As he spoke, Nether had turned into a black mist and vanished.
The sheep's head mark on the young man's arm gradually disappeared, but the young man knew in his heart that it was not disappearing, but it was hidden deeper.
He glanced at the Pernan River over there, the water was constantly flowing, and the aquatic weeds completely covered the bottom of the water, and no one knew what was underneath.
Then turn around and leave, no matter what, he still wants to live, since he wants to live, he can only choose to fight hard.
Now there are two ways, one is to leave this town, or even this area, according to the original plan, hide far away, and never get close to this side for the rest of your life.
The other was the devil's suggestion to find another evil spirit in town.
And that evil spirit, he had a little impression, when he checked the Bai Nan River and all kinds of strange things in the town, he accidentally found another strange incident in Xiangshu Town.
That is, there is a huge tree in Fragrant Tree Town, and the variety of trees is very ordinary, but every once in a while, it will bloom red flowers, and those red flowers have an attractive fragrance.
Legend has it that the flowers actually grew when they were watered with human blood.
