"Calm down!"

Chen Ge quietly touched the embankment, he slowly approached the mother and son, and shouted when they were five or six meters away.

At this distance, even if the other party does something impulsive, he has enough time to save the other party.

Hearing Chen Ge's voice, the mother glanced behind her in surprise, she didn't seem to expect someone to come here early in the morning.

"Can we talk?" Chen Ge stretched out his hand forward, he stopped in place, keeping a suitable distance, so that it would not bring too much psychological pressure to the other party.

After going through so many things, Chen Ge is now similar to a professional suicide interventionist.

"Did you misunderstand something?" The woman laughed, she took the boy by the hand and tried to return to the embankment, but the boy disagreed, and his mouth made a whimpering sound, and he resisted with all his strength.

The tone of the woman's speech, as well as the demeanor when she speaks, is normal, not like those who are forced by life to the point of nowhere.

Relieved, Chen Ge slowly walked towards the mother and son: "How can you take the child over the guardrail?" It's too dangerous, what if your foot slips and falls? The reservoir is very deep, and it is said that there are large fish that are nearly two meters long living in it. ”

"I'm really sorry, I'll pay attention to it later." The woman held the boy's hand and leaned in front of the boy, as if she didn't want Chen Ge to see the child's face.

"Don't get too close to the water, especially small children." Chen Ge knew that there were water ghosts in the Donggang Reservoir, and the little boy was standing on the edge of the embankment, trying to reach out and touch the water surface, if the water ghosts appeared at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It took a lot of effort for the woman to drag the boy behind the fence, and the boy seemed to be unable to speak, making muffled sounds in his throat, clutching the railing with both hands, and constantly making noise.

"He seems to like water?" Chen Ge felt a little abnormal.

"It's not that he likes water, this kid just likes to play in Donggang Reservoir, and I don't know why, if he doesn't come to Donggang Reservoir once a day, he will make trouble all day."

"Your child ......" Chen Ge's gaze jumped over the woman and looked at the child she was protecting behind her.

The child had a very cute face, but probably because of his frequent crying, his eyes were very red, and there were bloodshot undereyes, which were not as clear as those of other children.

"I'll pay attention to it later." The woman didn't answer Chen Ge's question, she didn't want to discuss her child with others.

Taking the boy's hand, the woman said to the child very gently, "It's time to go." ”

There was a hint of distress and love in her voice, and it could be seen that she loved this child very much, even if this child was different from other children.

"I've heard some things from the reservoir manager before, and I don't know if it's true or not." Chen Ge said softly: "He told me that there are water ghosts in this reservoir, and there is a coffin, some children saw a puff of black grass floating by the water, and went over to check curiously, in fact, those water plants are the hair of water ghosts, and when the children are close to the water surface, they will be dragged down by water ghosts and locked in coffins." ”

When Chen Ge said these words, he had been paying attention to the child, and he didn't notice any abnormal reaction from the boy.

"Do you still believe that? The caretaker is supposed to warn the children who come to the reservoir to swim in the water. "Women don't believe in these legends about ghosts.

"I've got some pictures here." Chen Ge took out his mobile phone, and he found photos of the bodies recovered by the police in the reservoir, as well as photos of a large number of dolls taken out of the coffins.

The early sun slowly rose, the faint mist on the reservoir dissipated, and the scenery here was beautiful, but a few people on the embankment had no intention of appreciating it.

Chen Ge held his mobile phone and showed the photos he had saved.

In the eyes of others, Chen Ge is also a very strange person, stopping the mother and son passing by early in the morning, telling terrible stories, and taking out terrifying photos.

A normal person's reaction might be to prevaricate a few words in her mouth and then leave under the pretext, but the mother's approach was a little different, she was constantly refuting Chen Ge in front of her own children.

Even after seeing the photos, the woman still didn't believe in any legends about ghosts, and she kept emphasizing to Chen Ge that all legends like ghosts and the like were lies.

Chen Ge didn't care about it at first, but he slowly felt that something was wrong.

This woman's performance is not like convincing Chen Ge, but more like convincing herself over and over again.

Will she know something? But don't want to believe it?

Chen Ge had a good impression of this woman, and after going through the doors of the underworld mission, he now respects those parents who are very good to their children.

When Chen Ge and the woman tried to convince each other, the little boy cried again inexplicably, and he grabbed the guardrail and shook it vigorously, trying to get close to the water.

"Has anything happened to your child here?" Chen Ge set his eyes on the child again, and he felt that he couldn't say anything from the adult.

"No, this kid has been like this since a long time ago, and he can only calm down here, and I don't know the specific reason." When a woman mentions her child, her voice becomes softer, and it can be seen that she does not want to hurt her own child, nor does she want outsiders to think that her child is different from other people's children.

"I had worked in a welfare home for a while, and I had seen a similar child, but the place he particularly wanted to go to was a haunted house." Chen Ge walked up to the boy, squatted in front of him, and followed the boy's gaze into the distance: "Are you looking for something?" Is there something underwater that you care about? ”

The woman didn't want Chen Ge to talk to her child more, she pulled her child behind her, but the boy clung to the railing and didn't let go, crying and making trouble.

But the woman may have long been used to all this, no matter how much the boy cried, she was not angry, but the worry in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

"Can you tell uncle, what's your name?" Chen Ge has always felt that he is very childlike, but the boy in front of him completely ignored him, just kept crying.

"Uncle has toys here, do you want to play with them?" Chen Ge opened the backpack and looked at it, and then silently closed the backpack again.

"I'm sorry, we've been out long enough, it's time to go back." The woman picked up the boy who was still crying and tried to forcibly take the child away.

Chen Ge continued to look at the surface of the water and asked tentatively, "Are you looking for memories of the past?" ”

Seeing that the woman was about to take the boy away, Chen Ge stood up, and he said again: "Are you looking for the past of the underworld?" ”

He just casually tested it, thinking that this kid was a little strange, and that's all. But what he didn't expect was that after he said the word "underworld", the child actually stopped crying.

It was so sudden that even the child's mother did not expect it.

The river breeze blew through the reservoir, and the child's eyes moved to Chen Ge for the first time, as if the word "underworld" had some special meaning to him.

"What did you just say, sir?" The woman stopped and turned to look at Chen Ge.

"Nothing." Chen Ge's expression was solemn, giving people a very terrible feeling, as if a patient suspected that he had a terminal illness and went to the hospital, and after the examination, the doctor took the case with a serious face and did not speak.

That woman felt this way now, and the more Chen Ge was reluctant to say it, the more curious she became, because such a situation had never appeared.

"Well, if you don't want to say it, forget it." After a stalemate for a long time, the woman bowed to Chen Ge and was about to leave, but Chen Ge's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Will you trust me?"

Stopping again, the woman's expression was a little helpless: "What do you want to say?" Can you not sell it? ”

"Your child may not be your child." When Chen Ge said this, the woman was obviously angry, she no longer paid attention to Chen Ge, turned around and prepared to leave.

"I know you're going to be uncomfortable saying that, but I don't want to lie to you, it looks like there's another person living in your child's body." Chen Ge just wanted to try it at first, but he didn't expect that after he said the word "Underworld", the little boy would react, indicating that he had a memory of these two words in his mind.

In other words, Chen Ge felt that he might have found the last child chosen by the Underworld.

Assuming that the previous speculation was correct, the fetus buried his past in the cave below the reservoir, and the child would subconsciously come over every day, apparently attracted by memories and wanting to pursue his past.

There is a high probability that the Underworld fetus will be in him, and only this boy is attracted by the memories of the Underworld fetus among all the chosen children.

Of course, all this is Chen Ge's own speculation, and the possibility of misleading the underworld is not ruled out.

"I know my child is really different from other children, but I think you're going too far." The woman was holding the boy with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes, as if she had explained it to many people, and now she was tired and too lazy to explain it again.

"Calm down, I don't mean anything to hurt you and your child, frankly I have a lot of experience in saving children."

"Who the hell are you? Have you seen our mother and son here before? ”

"I know it's useless to say more, I just hope you can trust me once." Chen Ge turned on his mobile phone and clicked on the previous news of the Hanjiang local legal channel: "This is a report about me, and I have no ill will towards you and your children." ”

It is difficult to gain the trust of a stranger, but Chen Ge has an advantage, that is, his "reputation" in the Hanjiang public security system, guaranteed by the legal channel, most people will be willing to believe Chen Ge.

The woman's attitude eased a little, she looked at the news, and even suspected that these were fake, she took out her mobile phone and searched the Internet again, and found Chen Ge's own job - the owner of the haunted house, which is even more interesting now.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"You're pretty famous." The woman seems to be gentle, but after getting along for a while, Chen Ge found that gentleness was just her protective color, this woman was not willing to trust others, she seemed to be relying on herself all along.

"Now we can have a good talk." Chen Ge looked at the child: "Since when did he become like this?" ”

"I don't know when it started, it's possible that he was born different, I don't think it's his fault, it should just be that we haven't learned to accept him." Children are the softest point in a woman's heart, a point that makes her strong, and a point that worries her the most: "The doctor said that my child is autistic and recommends early treatment, but I feel ...... Hey, forget it, the doctor should be right, it's that I'm thinking too much. ”

The woman hid something, but she still didn't want to say it, and Chen Ge didn't force it.

"Can you take me to see where this kid lives?" Chen Ge wanted to go to the other party's house to see if he could find any clues, but it was not polite to say so directly, so he used a more euphemistic set of words.

"That's fine, but it's time for me to go to work, how about seeing you at noon?" The woman handed Chen Ge a business card, and then didn't want to delay for a moment, and left quickly.

"A real estate agent?" Chen Ge glanced at his business card and put it in his backpack: "The New Century Paradise is about to open, and it is not realistic for me to enter the reservoir by myself." ”

He carried his backpack to find a place with his back to the sun, flipped through the comic book, and summoned Xu Yin, Xiaobu, Mennan, and the water ghost Hongyi.

"There's something I want to ask you for." Chen Ge stared at the water ghost red-clothed: "Later, you will take the three of them into the reservoir together, I need you to find a coffin, there is a big hole under the coffin, you go into the hole and probe to see if there is anything hidden in it." ”

"I'll just go alone, there's no need to bother them." The water ghost in red has a very good attitude, which is very different from when I first met Chen Ge.

"Don't think that I let them follow you because I was worried that you would escape. I want them to protect you, that cave is very dangerous, don't be careless. Chen Ge sent them into the reservoir, and then stood next to the reservoir and waited.

After half an hour, several of the reds still did not come back.

"Was there an accident? It's impossible, with Xiaobu here, even if you meet the top red clothes, you can get out of the whole body. ”

After waiting for a long time, just as Chen Ge flipped through the comic book and was about to let the other red-clothed people also go to investigate, the smell of blood in the air became stronger, and several red-clothed people quietly appeared beside Chen Ge.

"Did you find anything?" Chen Ge saw that the water ghost's face was very bad, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"That hole seems to be connected to several other big rivers in Hanjiang, and there are many forks in the road, and we have walked for a long time and have not reached the end." Mennan was the first to speak: "And there seems to be a very terrible thing in the cave, even Xiaobu feels threatened." ”

"Even Xiaobu feels threatened? This is not something that ordinary red clothes can do. ”

"It doesn't seem like the thing that exudes that horror is not the red coat." The water ghost red's face was very bad, he was still thinking about finding a chance to escape at first, but after entering the cave, he was honest in an instant, and followed closely behind Xiaobu.

"And what do you think might be?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be ghosts and obsessions. By the way, we also found this ...... in the cave" The red-clothed water ghost took out two rough hand-carved statues, a man and a woman, with the names of Chen Ge's parents vaguely engraved on them.

"Where did you find it in the cave?"

"The cave is full of statues of the two of them, but all the statues are mutilated, as if they were carved and then deliberately smashed, and we searched for a long time to find two that are still intact."
