Chapter 13: Water Monkeys
Luo Hui's hands were restrained by a soft whip, his right foot was buckled by an unknown object, only his left foot was left to move, and his survival instinct forced him to keep kicking with his left foot, but it was useless, this unknown object had a lot of strength, and he kept sinking.
At this critical moment, a red halo suddenly appeared above his head, and Luo Hui subconsciously looked up, only to see a stone sinking on the surface of the river, and an underwater burning rod was tied to the stone.
The red fireworks of the incendiary stick turned the nearby waters red, and his vision became clear, Luo Hui looked down, and he was so frightened that he almost forgot to hold his breath, and it was a humanoid monster with a mane that was dragging his ankles!
The monster's face resembles a monkey's, its eyes are round, all black pupils have no whites, and a pair of fangs protruding from its mouth, which is very terrifying!
Luo Hui came back to his senses and glared at the monster's face, the monster's face was hideous, but he still didn't let go, at this time a crossbow arrow hit the monster's left eye, the black blood suddenly melted in the water, the monster struggled wildly, and then let go and sank deeper into the water.
Luo Hui looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow came, only to see Chunchun biting the flashlight and diving down with the crossbow arrow in hand, she was going to chase the monster, but Luo Hui couldn't hold her breath a little, her mouth and nose kept bubbles and struggled in pain, Chunchun had to give up chasing the monster, swam over and lifted him to the water, untied the soft whip and dragged it, Luo Hui rolled onto the gravel beach, knelt there and couldn't stop spitting water, coughing violently.
When he calmed down, he said angrily: "What are you doing, you almost killed me!" ”
Chunchun twisted his eyebrows and said: "It's still up to me, if I didn't save you, you would have been dragged to the bottom of the water and died!" Didn't you say that you were the first in the physical fitness test at the police academy? Why did you lose your breath so quickly? The monster was wounded, if you hadn't caught it, waste! I don't know what the Pu Bureau has taken a fancy to you, so I have to recruit you in! ”
Luo Hui said angrily: "Are you excessive? Who threw me into the water and caused me to be in danger, shouldn't you save me? Now it's actually a rake, and the police academy doesn't measure underwater breath-holding! ”
Chunchun snorted and sat down in a huff, tilting her head to the side.
Luo Hui remembered the terrible appearance of the monster under the water, and was in no mood to worry about Chunchun, so he asked, "What was that just now?" ”
Chunchun didn't want to entangle with Luo Hui, and said seriously: "Water monkey." ”
Luo Hui palpitated: "It turns out that the water monkey in folklore really exists...... Is this guy a demon? ”
Chunchun said: "Yes, but strictly speaking, it doesn't count. ”
Luo Hui was puzzled: "How do you understand this?" ”
Chunchun explained: "The water monkey is a hybrid breed of ancient demon monsters and earth beasts, with demon blood, but in order to adapt to the living environment on the surface, after continuous reproduction and evolution into an independent breed, the ability of the demon clan has basically degraded, and finally became an ordinary creature on the earth, due to the special habits of water monkeys, the number of survivors is scarce, only occasionally appears, and it is rarely discovered, so it becomes more mysterious, I thought it was a river god I didn't expect it to be just a water monkey that does not enter the stream, a waste of time!" ”
Luo Hui muttered disdainfully: "It's like I will definitely be able to deal with water monkeys." ”
Chunchun heard Luo Hui's muttering, and knew that it was useless to say anything if he didn't catch it, so he said: "But then again, although the demon clan ability of the water monkey has basically degraded, it still has a little atavistic ability, and its ability to be underwater is very strong, and the average underwater life on the earth can't help it." ”
Luo Hui said: "Don't fix these useless, since you know that it's a water monkey, do you want to catch it or not?" ”
Chunchun immediately glared and said, "Of course I have to arrest it!" Water monkeys as a mixed breed have a certain research value in the game, I at least have to take one back, and the history of the disappearance of children in the pig cage village has been hundreds of years, which proves that the water monkeys live in the Devil's River Valley all year round, this scourge is not only in addition to the number of children killed, too miserable, if parents see the death of their children, I don't know how sad, alas. ”
Luo Hui said curiously: "How miserable is the death, have you seen it?" ”
Chunchun motioned Luo Hui to follow her behind the stone to see, Luo Hui followed with doubts, when he saw what was behind the stone, Luo Hui was startled, and his heart was very uncomfortable, this scene was too depressing, he saw a child's corpse behind the stone, the corpse had been pecked by the crow's flesh and flesh and was full of holes, all the facial features were blocked by mud, the eyeballs were gone, the nails were gone, and the blood was very bloody.
Chunchun said: "The water monkey usually drags people to the bottom of the water, seals the seven orifices with silt, and kills people, and it does not eat human flesh, but drinks human blood, eats eyeballs and nails. ”
Luo Hui had goosebumps all over his body, he couldn't bear to look at his back anymore, his hands clenched into fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Chunchun, do you want to use me as bait?" ”
Chunchun glanced at Luo Hui and chuckled: "Yes, my consciousness has improved, but it's a pity that the water monkey has a certain amount of wisdom and won't be fooled." ”
Luo Hui said: "These children are so pitiful, no matter whether my current identity is a police officer or a member of the 816 Bureau, whether the water monkey is a demon or an ordinary animal, in short, I must get rid of it and eliminate harm for the people!" ”
Chunchun frowned and said, "This matter is not easy to handle now." ”
Luo Hui turned around and asked, "What?" ”
Chunchun said: "I don't know how many water monkeys live in the Devil River Basin, I suspect that there is more than this one, otherwise there will be no disappearance of children in the pig cage village, don't forget that this disappearance is a collective disappearance, you have also experienced it just now, its size is about the same as an adult, only one pair of hands and one pair of feet like a person, there are no three heads and six arms, it is impossible to deal with five children at the same time, it is just a relatively strong force, if you were not restrained by the soft whip just now, maybe you can fight with him for a while." ”
Luo Hui urged: "Then hurry up and call reinforcements, call the other team members, call the little wave hoof Lisa, the macho man Xiaoman and the miscellaneous hair Dao Chang all here, they will definitely be able to catch the water monkey, as for the old man, forget it, I haven't seen him move, and I don't know what his ability is." ”
Chunchun glared and said, "Why do you give the big guy an indecent nickname?" Dare to call the old man of the Pu Bureau? If I let Sister Lisa know that you call her that, I'll kill you! ”
Luo Hui hurriedly said: "I've heard the macho man Xiaoman call it like this...... Oops, now is not the time to dwell on this, do you call it reinforcements, and if you don't call it, then I'll contact the Suicheng special police. ”
Chunchun sneered: "You are not an official and you are not a policeman, will the Suicheng special police listen to your transfer?" Besides, do you think they'll believe it? Did you tell them that the water monkeys killed these children? Don't be stupid, the water monkey is just a rumor in the mouth of the people, it doesn't belong to any kind of animal, no one will believe it, the most important thing is who the Pu Bureau assigns to the task, it will not give any reinforcements, and if you don't have the ability, you deserve it! ”
Luo Hui scratched his head anxiously: "You said you were going to arrest it, so what do you say now?" ”
Chunchun climbed the big rock and stared at the river and fell into deep thought.
