"You let everyone disperse, I'll take a look around for myself." I said to the old man.

I already understand what they're saying, so I don't need to get together.

The old man nodded. Then he said to everyone. "Let's all disperse."

After leaving the village committee, I went to the lotus pond alone, and it all started from this lotus pond, and I decided to investigate this lotus pond first.

At this moment, it is April and May, and the lotus flowers are shy to be released and have not yet bloomed.

The lotus pond is very large, almost hundreds of square meters, and it is indeed a little abnormal when you look at it, and there is a faint black gas in the water.

It was clear that the evil thing was at the bottom of the pond.

A note comes to mind.

Before we came, didn't Wang Laohan and I go to buy a lot of things to restrain evil things?

Among them, I bought a lot of glutinous rice, three bags.

So I carried two bags to the edge of the pond.

After tearing it by hand, scatter a large handful of glutinous rice into the lotus pond with your hands.

Just as I sprinkled the glutinous rice into the lotus pond.

The lotus pond also began to sound with a gurgling sound, as if it was boiling, and there was a splash.

"There's a play!" I waited for the outcome, hoping that I would force it out of the water.

But soon I was disappointed, and the lotus pond only boiled for a while, and then calmed down.

It's as if nothing happened.

I squatted on the edge of the lotus pond and looked into the water.

The water in the lotus pond is very deep, and the visibility is only about one meter.

I couldn't see the glutinous rice I sprinkled at all.

Occasionally, fish can be seen floating on the surface and swimming back and forth.

People in the village have said that at night they will hear a woman's voice coming from far and near from the direction of the lotus pond.

If nothing else, the evil thing is supposed to be hidden in the pool.

My inference is not wrong.

And it is not yet known what the effect of this evil thing is, and glutinous rice has no effect.

I crouched on the edge of the pool and thought.

There is still no entry point.

Anyway, I'll go to the victims' homes and maybe find something.

I stood up and was about to leave the lotus pond.

Just as I was standing up, I suddenly felt a gaze from behind me.

I looked back, and it was a fish.

A fish floating on the surface of the water staring at me?

"Huh? Is it an illusion? "I tried to move.

When the fish saw that I was moving, it actually turned its head after me and looked at me.

"This fish is really looking at me!" I took a cool breath. It must have been controlled by that evil thing.

Then something even more incredible happened.

As if making a decision, the fish jumped up, jumped out of the water, and jumped directly onto the shore.

When it came ashore, it didn't struggle, but just lay quietly, its mouth open and closed.

"What does this fish want to do?" I got the courage to go over and kick him, but he didn't respond.

So he picked up the fish.

The moment I picked up the fish, it was as if it had been cursed by time.

The whole body began to decay rapidly, the scales on my body continued to fall, and the flesh of the fish gradually turned black from the bright color at first, and then turned into thick water, which flowed through the cracks of my hands.

The whole process was so fast that before I could react, all I had left was a fishbone and something wrapped in a red cloth.

"What is this?" I shave the fishbones. He took something wrapped in red cloth and soaked it in the water.

When it was clean, I opened the red cloth.

To my surprise, the thing in the red cloth was actually a human finger.

Looking at the size of the finger, it seems to be a little thumb.

What does this mean exactly?

The fish stared at me from the beginning, and then when I touched it, it turned into blood and spat out a finger.

Is this fish trying to tell me something?

Or what do you want to tell me about what's in the pond?

Now that I've found an entry point, I decided to ask Wang Laohan first to see if anyone in the village has a broken finger.

I found Wang Laohan with my fingers.

"Do you know this finger?" I handed him my little thumb.

Wang Laohan was startled when he saw his fingers, and then said. "Where did you find this finger?"

Why was he so surprised? So I asked. "What, you know?"

"Oh." Wang Laohan calmed down.

"A month ago, the cow raised by Zhang Lao Er in the village went crazy and bit off one of his fingers when he was feeding, and then it has not been found, look at the shape and size! This is it! Where did you find it? ”

"Oh, I found it inside the belly of a fish." I told him the truth.

It's strange why it was eaten by a fish since it was bitten off by a beast.

"Where does Zhang Lao Er live?" I asked.

"It's the second one on the east side of the village, the one with a stone pier at the door, I'll take you there."

"Okay." I nodded.

followed Wang Laohan to Zhang Laoer's house.

Soon came to Zhang's second house.

"Second Zhang, the master is coming for you. Zhang Er, you're not at home. Wang Laohan shouted into the room.

After hearing the sound inside the room, there was a reaction, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of it.

"Who?" His attitude was impatient at first, but when he saw me and the village chief, he restrained a lot.

"The master is here! Don't give me gossip, have a good attitude, the master asks you a few questions, and you must answer them honestly! The original! Don't lie to the masters, you know! Wang Laohan glared at him.

Zhang Lao Er nodded. "Hey, master, you ask, you ask, I know everything and say everything."

I handed him my finger. "Do you think this finger is yours?"

He took his finger and showed the same expression as Wang Laohan. "Where are you from?"

"Found in the belly of a fish." I said.

Zhang Laoer's expression was very complicated.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"The master asked you!" Wang Laohan glared at him again.

"Oh, nothing." Zhang Lao Er reacted and replied. "This finger was bitten off by a mad cow, it's just strange how this finger ended up in the belly of the fish."

Was it bitten off by a mad cow?

What is this creature trying to tell me when it spits out its fingers?

I still don't understand what the two have to do with each other.

So I said. "Can I go and see inside your cowshed?"

"Of course." Zhang Lao Er took me to the cowshed.

"Where's the cow?" When I came to the cowshed, I didn't see a cow.

"Oh, after that cow went crazy, it was taken by the WS Bureau to dispose of it." Zhang Lao Er explained.

I nodded.

It seems that the clue is broken again.

But since there are no clues in the investigation, let's save people first.

Let's stop the Red Luo Girl from killing people tonight, and by the way, I'm asking her what she means by giving me my fingers.

I turned to Wang Laohan on the side and said. "Wang Laohan, you also saw it yesterday when I was shopping."

"Tonight I will find a way to stop that evil thing from harming people, you go and distribute the glutinous rice I bought to the villagers, that thing has a way to restrain evil things, let everyone prepare some at night."

"Oh yes." When Wang Laohan heard this, he did as I said.

I'm also starting to get ready for the evening.

Night has come.

Everyone locked the door again, hiding in the house and not daring to come out.

And tonight is even more terrifying, the Red Luo girl is going to kill.

I poured the prepared black dog's blood into a basin in my room, then soaked it in my shirt and put it on my body.

A thick smell of blood, very choking.

But I can't care about it for the sake of survival.

Then he put on his coat. I stuffed all the glutinous rice that Wang Laohan left for me in various pockets.

I didn't use the wicker's words, and I also let Wang Laohan give them to the villagers.

I have a willow-eyed dagger, which is much better than wicker.

Every house in the village is lit with lights.

I stood outside the door, looking in the direction of the lotus pond. He lit a cigarette against the threshold and smoked it.

I don't know when I started smoking two puffs of cigarettes.

Soon I threw the cigarette in my hand on the ground and stomped it out with my foot.

In the distance, a man in red walked slowly towards the village......

"The Red Luo Girl is here."
