Chapter 19: The Siren (3)

And at this moment, the humming sound in their ears was like a girl singing, the tone was very light and ethereal, and the melody was a little sad.

Zhanjian's frightened legs and stomach were a little weak, and he turned his head stiffly, and there was only a fog behind him, and he couldn't see anything.

Hua Zhu listened carefully before "Is there really a kraken singing?" Is this urban legend true? ”

"It's singing, but it doesn't have to be a kraken. Let's take a look. Xie Tianqing bypassed Zhanjian and walked forward, and Hua Candle also followed behind him, but Zhanjian didn't really want to go, but he thought about the purpose of his run, and still mustered up the courage to follow.

Halfway through, they were close to singing, but the fog around them slowly began to dissipate.

After the fog had cleared, they found themselves standing at the entrance of the lower bridge, surrounded by dense traffic and a slight light rain, but it felt a bit like snow.

Hua Zhu took out his phone and glanced at it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

They stayed in the fog for so long......

Zhanjian was looking around: "Are we coming out?" "He now has a sense of time and space being out of order.

Hua Candle also looked around, and suddenly smelled a smell in the air that made him feel sick. He looked towards the source of the smell, and it was on the river.

The water was rushing on the surface of the river, and there was a humanoid object floating on the river, lying face down.

Xie Tianqing also followed Hua Candle's gaze, frowned and said, "Zhanjian, call the police." ”

"Huh?" At this time, Zhanjian noticed that their eyes were not quite right when they looked at the river, and he also looked over, and when he saw this scene, he was stunned in place.

Hua Candle turned his head and saw that the last fire above Zhanmi's head was about to be extinguished, he quickly raised his hand and slapped it on the top of his head, and let his yang fire burn again, and Zhanjian also came back to his senses.

"How...... How could this be ......," Zhanmi muttered to himself.

Xie Tianqing also turned around: "Now is not the time to talk about this, right?" ”

After Zhan Jian nodded his head in a panic, his hand trembled and reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone to call the police.

In fact, they didn't see clearly who the person on the river was, and it was possible that they were not one of the two girls, but people always have a sixth sense, and this sixth sense is sometimes very accurate.

The salvage team dragged the body ashore, and Zhan Jian didn't dare to go up to see it, but Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu stepped forward to take a look.

This corpse has been swollen by the river, and its facial features are so swollen that it is difficult to identify, but at least it can be determined that it is indeed a girl.

The police searched the body of the woman and found a student ID.

The police showed Zhan Jian the student ID: "Is it one of the two girls you said went missing?" ”

Zhan Jian looked at the familiar name and familiar face on the student ID and nodded: "Yes...... It's her ......."

The police had basically concluded that the deceased was one of the two missing girls, but to be on the safe side, they had to ask the family to come and identify them.

The funeral home took the bodies away, and the police took the three of them away.

This is the second time Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu have entered the police station, and they seem to have some habits when they enter more, and they are not as nervous as they were at the beginning.

They were released after simply making a record of the discovery of the body.

As soon as Zhan Jian came out of the police station, he sat on the edge of the flower bed on the side of the road, looking like he was about to die.

It's not that Hua Zhu and Tianqing can't understand his current mood, but for them, life and death will already be very light.

What's more, the death of mortals is just that mortals themselves define the world, and they still have the next life, the next life.

And for them, death is the destruction of the soul, that is the real sense of death.

After Zhan Jian sat paralyzed for a while, he raised his head, and the candle could see the blue and black under his eyes, and in just a few hours, he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Is there any smoke?" Zhanjian asked.

"I don't smoke." Xie Tianqing replied.

And Hua Candle is even less likely to smoke, and Xie Tianqing can't let Hua Candle touch this, after all, he is still a cat.

Zhan Jian breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head: "It's all my fault...... If I hadn't taken them to that kind of place, I wouldn't be ...... now."

Hua Zhu squatted down and stared at Zhanjian: "If you don't take them, can you guarantee that they won't go?" ”

Zhan Jian looked up and looked at Hua Candle's eyes, and saw his reflection in Flower Candle's round pupils.

"Or can you guarantee that they won't come across this urban legend if they haven't been to that haunted house?" Hua Zhu followed up with a question.

"Or do you think they won't run into anyone else if they don't?"

Zhan was speechless when asked.

Hua Zhu stood up and looked down at Zhanjian: "There are some things, if you are your own fault, you have to admit it, and then find a way to make up for it." But if it's not your own fault but you insist on taking it on yourself, you don't think of yourself as a mortal, you treat yourself as a god. Only immortals would feel that anything that happened to mortals was their own fault. So I ask you, are you an immortal or a mortal? ”

"I ...... Of course I'm just an ordinary person......" Zhanmi's voice was very small.

Xie Tianqing patted Hua Candle's head: "We can understand your guilt, but you are squatting here and discouraged except for causing trouble for the police uncle, there is no practical help." So, hurry up. Don't you think it's cold on the ground? ”

Zhan Jian pulled the corners of his mouth and stood up, patted the dirt on his body, but found that his clothes had been soiled: "I'm sorry...... I ......"

"Alright. Do you want to find out the truth and find another missing girl? Xie Tianqing asked.

"Of course!" Zhan Jian replied without hesitation.

"Add me as a friend, come to my house tomorrow night to find me. During the day, you can rest and recharge. Xie Tianqing took out his mobile phone and added him as a friend.

"Good! Then I'll go first! See you tomorrow. Zhanjian cheered up, but he could clearly see that his feet were still floating when he walked.

Hua Candle looked at Xie Tianqing puzzled: "Why do you want to bring him with you?" He's a mortal, and he's in a lot of trouble with him. ”

"Flower candle, why didn't we do anything in the fog just now, but suddenly came out?" Xie Tianqing asked.

Hua Zhu thought for a moment: "...... The Kraken let us out? ”

Xie Tian nodded: "Well, that's right." The so-called Kraken originally wanted to lure us over to do something, but when he found out who we were, he simply released us because he couldn't handle it. In this case, do you think we will be able to go into the fog so smoothly next time? ”

"So you're trying to get Zhanmi to take us in?"

"I've always found this Kraken strange. Zhanmi said that this urban legend has been circulating for a while, and it is said that you can make a wish when you meet a kraken, which is why so many young people want to try it. But I haven't heard of a kraken killing people, and if it does, it should be a terrifying urban legend. ”

Flower Candle spreads his hands: "Then maybe the Kraken has changed its taste?" Doesn't it mean that people who die in the sea are usually more resentful? ”

Xie Tianqing looked at Hua Zhu and smiled: "How do you know that it must be a ghost and nothing else?" ”

"This ...... have a lot of demons and monsters in the water," I guess. ”

"What have you learned about the demons in the water?" Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu walked side by side.

"Well...... There are still ...... water ghosts" Flower Candle thought about it carefully, but it seemed that she couldn't think of anything else except the water ghost.

Xie Tianqing sighed: "It seems that I haven't learned anything else." ”

"But aren't most of them ghosts? Others are rare, right? It's not a big deal not to know. Flower Candle retorted quietly.

"Yes, most of them are ghosts, but there are many more difficult than ghosts, especially in the water."

Hua Zhu squinted at Xie Tianqing: "You mean, do you think it's not a water ghost this time?" ”

"Did you just see the corpse?" Xie Tianqing suddenly asked.

Hua Zhu nodded: "Look, the bubble is very swollen, and it is basically unrecognizable." What's wrong? ”

"Even though it was only in the body, the soul would still remember the suffocation of the water in the nose and the tightness of the throat when it was drowned. So in general, water ghosts don't sing. Xie Tianqing looked at the somewhat dark road in front of him, "Besides, that thick fog doesn't seem to be caused by ordinary water ghosts." ”

"Well...... What if it's a ghost who has been dead for a long time, so he's very angry? "Flower candles put forward hypotheses.

Xie Tianqing smiled, reached out and took Hua Candle's hand, Hua Candle's hand was very cold, he put it in his palm and rubbed it: "It's also possible." ”

"Ahh Hua Zhu shouted and startled Xie Tianqing.

"What's wrong?"

"The supermarket is closed!"

“…… Let's go again next time. "I guess they'll not be available tomorrow.

After they got home, Xie Tianqing and Hua Candle went into the bathroom, the clothes on Xie Tianqing's body had changed, and Hua Candle stood in the bathroom with an expression of not wanting to take a bath.

"Take a shower again, just washed two days ago." Flower candles are testing the water temperature.

Because Xie Tianqing couldn't move with a plaster cast on one hand, he had to spend candles to help him take a bath these days. And the flower candle cat was also cleaned by Xie Tian, but now he has to clean himself up.

Xie Tianqing glanced at him: "Two days ago, it could also be called just washing?" If you don't take a shower today, you won't go to bed, it's dirty. ”

Although Hua Zhu doesn't like to take a bath, he loves to be clean!

He lowered his head and sniffed himself, thinking that it was still fragrant, so he retorted: "You are talking nonsense! I'm so clean! ”

Xie Tianqing looked at Hua Zhu with a disgusted expression: "It's dirty." If it weren't for the fact that his hands were inconvenient now, he would have let Hua Candle take a bath every day even in winter.

They have bath bombs in their bathrooms and heating in the house, so they don't get cold in the shower.

But obviously, the flower candle has nothing to do with this, even in the summer he doesn't like to take a bath
