Lin Ran took out the yellow paper from her bag, the paper was wrapped in the hair she got from Atai, she pinched a strange finger trick with her left hand, muttered a few incantations in her mouth, and then twisted her thumb and index finger lightly, and the handful of hair spontaneously combusted without fire, and soon a green smoke rose.

The wind on the seashore was very strong, but the strange thing was that the green smoke was not blown away by the sea breeze, but slowly rose, lingered in the air for a while, condensed into a ball, and then gradually dissipated.

Lin Ran raised her eyebrows slightly.

The general method of conjuring spirits does not work, either the soul is trapped, or the soul disappears, if it is the former, find out where the soul is trapped and bring it back, if it is the latter, then there is really no way for the immortals.

So she had to make sure that the soul that had been lost by Atai was still intact.

The hair she took was the strand on the top of Atai's head, and the head was the meeting of the suns, the sect of the five elements, which was the place that most closely matched with the soul, and Atai had an accident on the seaside, Lin Ran thought that this soul should have been taken away by something, but now it seems that this soul did not leave Yutou Village and was taken to the sea.

Why can't they be recalled?

Lin Ran had no clue for a while.

At this time, there are also some people who come to the beach for a walk after dinner, and before they come back, Lin Ran simply walked along the beach, this sea area is indeed not good-looking, and the fishy smell is a little heavy.

Ten years ago, the disaster was conservatively estimated to have killed dozens of people, they all died in this sea area, some of the bodies were fished up, some of the bodies were sunk in the sea, and there was a haunted storm in the back, even the police were reluctant to come to fish for the bodies, and those who died in the water naturally slowly became water ghosts, wandering in this sea area.

Moreover, there must have been other people who have died in the sea in the past ten years, and this kind of thing has never been uncommon on the seaside.

Since ancient times, the sea has swallowed up many lives.

It's been a long time since ten years ago, but for an exorcist like her, she can still faintly feel a faint yin aura when she is close to the sea.

Lin Ran circled around the spear that had been raised.

The spear is engraved with a charm, it has also been blessed, and there is a faint evil qi on it, only this evil qi can suppress the yin qi generated here because too many people died at one time, and the person who made this spear in the first place must also be a feng shui master with some skills.

It's just that with the passage of time, the evil aura on the spear has slowly faded, and the things of ten years ago have gradually faded, and the Yutou Village has regained its former peace, and this spear has become the landmark of the Yutou Village, but the actual effect is not as good as before.

Therefore, the ghosts and spirits in the nearby waters are not afraid, and they will run out from time to time to make trouble.

After about an hour, Extraordinary finally returned.

There is also a river in the town of Silversilk, but the river flows from the town, it is more polluted, even if it doesn't go to the river often, its body is mottled with corrosion, but it is different in the sea, even if the sea water is muddy, there is always a clean place, extraordinary and have a lot of fun, if it is not for the memory of Lin Ran waiting by the sea, it may swim farther.

Extraordinary flicked his tail to dry the water on his body, and came to Lin Ran again.

"Spread your hands!"

Extraordinary raised his head, Lin Ran spread his palms inexplicably, and Extraordinary spit out a few pearls at her, the pearls were not big, but they were round and full, and I didn't know where it came from.

Lin Ran was slightly stunned, "For me?" ”

Extraordinary nodded with a look of praise on his face, and Lin Ran flicked its horns in amusement, "Thank you." ”

The system looked indifferent: [......] Hum!

Extraordinary climbed back onto her wrist and said something else, "Ranran, I just saw a lot of water ghosts in the sea, they hugged together and grew into a piece of water weeds, I wanted to take a closer look, but the smell of the sea water around there was too bad, so I didn't go over." ”

Lin Ran's eyes moved, she had guessed that there was more than one water ghost in this sea, but it was not easy to catch them all, but she accidentally found the water ghost group, so things were much easier to handle.

Lin Ran hurriedly asked, "Do you remember their exact locations?" ”

Extraordinary nodded, "Remember!" ”

Jiao has a good sense of direction, and has its own set of identification methods in the sea.

Lin Ran was overjoyed, "That's great, when we rent a boat during the day tomorrow, you will lead the way, and we will go to the water ghost group, and catch a few water ghosts." ”

"Good!"

Extraordinary flicked his tail and high-fived her.

The system couldn't help but find a sense of presence, [Host, I can also locate the location of the water ghost group.] ]

Lin Ran glanced at the aggrieved system, probably because his job was robbed by the extraordinary, and the system was squatting in the corner and drawing circles.

Lin Ran patted the dog's head, "You guys have a two-pronged approach, double insurance, okay?" ”

The system was in a better mood and hummed again: [I'm much better than him!] ￣へ￣]

"...... "Okay, just be happy."

Lin Ran went back to the B&B, planning to rest for a night and get up to work tomorrow morning, but in the middle of the night, she was woken up by the system and Extraordinary.

"Why?"

Extraordinary bit the corner of her clothes and tugged, "Ranran, I heard a strange sound in the sea." ”

The system's antenna also lights up: [Unidentified singing voice detected.] ]

Song? Why didn't she hear it?

Lin Ran frowned slightly, suddenly remembered something, and made a call to Ruan Xing.

Ruan Xing's voice was still full of sleepiness, "What is the young lady doing?" ”

"Get dressed immediately and follow me to the beach!"

Ruan Xing: "......" (⊙?⊙)?

Lin Ran picked up her bag and ran towards the beach, Ruan Xing's movements were also very fast, and she packed up and went to the beach to meet her.

The sea breeze at night is stronger, blowing a little wet and cold on people, and the moonlight shines on the beach, the light is a little dim, but with the lights at the intersection of the village, you can basically see.

On the way to the beach, Lin Ran didn't hear any singing, and only the sound of the waves and the wind was heard on the beach, but the system and the extraordinary both detected something abnormal, so it was unlikely to be wrong.

"Little sister, what's wrong? What's wrong? Ruan Xing hurriedly ran out, still a little unclear.

Lin Ran said in a deep voice: "Make a call to ask Atai's parents, is Atai sick again?" ”

Ruan Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately made a phone call after reacting, it was Atai's mother who answered, and after asking, it turned out that Atai was not as stupid as usual at this time, he walked in one direction uncontrollably, even if his parents tried their best to hold him, it didn't work.

Extraordinary said that the voice stopped, and Ruan Xing heard the other end of the phone and said: "Atai suddenly fainted again, what should I do, if it goes on like this, the doctor will transfer Atai to a mental hospital." ”

Ruan Xing hung up the phone with a heavy face, and Lin Ran also fell into a deep groan.

Atai lost his soul before, so the whole person became stupid and stupid, Lin Ran originally thought that this was a normal phenomenon of losing souls, because some people would fall into a coma after losing their souls, some people would become stupid and lose their minds, and some people would keep repeating a certain action before losing their souls.

Before losing his soul, Ah Tai ran to the beach, so when Ah Tai showed his "yearning" for the sea, she and Ruan Xing didn't feel too strange, but she didn't expect that in fact, there was a voice that others couldn't hear calling Ah Tai.

"Didn't you hear any strange sounds on the way you just came? Especially from the sea. Lin Ran looked at Ruan Xing.

Ruan Xing shook his head inexplicably, "I haven't heard anything strange, what have you heard, young lady?" ”

The point is, she didn't hear it either!

Lin Ran could only ask the system, "What is that singing?" ”

The system shook the antenna and shook its head, [the time is too short, the target is too far away, and it can't be fully detected.] ]

Lin Ran looked down at Extraordinary again, and Extraordinary shook his head, "I just heard some vague sounds, that kind of sound is a little special, but it's definitely not human, maybe some kind of special sea creature...... I was young, I didn't understand a lot of things, and my mother didn't teach me that. ”

Extraordinary has always been in Silversilk Town, not to mention that the current environment is very different from before, many creatures have disappeared, and the inheritance has been broken in the middle, it is not surprising that it does not know.

Ruan Xing muttered to himself: "Could it really be a kraken?" ”

A kraken who lures the sailors with his singing will cause the ship to run aground and sink, and the people on board will fall into the blood of the kraken.

But that's just a legendary story, and there are even different versions in different seas, but most of them change the soup instead of the medicine, and it has become a bedtime story for children.

Lin Ran looked at the sea and was distracted.

Extraordinary is Jiao, but also a natural spirit beast, it mainly inhabits the land, even extraordinary feel that the special sound, must not be an ordinary sea fish and sea beast.

The sea, the Siren, the song, and the deceptive effect......

Lin Ran had heard of such a thing before.

But...... Probably not, right?

Ruan Xing looked at the stars in the sky and counted them with his fingers, but in the end he didn't get any concrete results.

Looking to the side, Lin Ran was tightening her eyebrows Ruan Xing, and asked curiously, "Little sister, what do you want?" ”

"The Kraken you spoke."

Ruan Xing was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "No, young lady, I said it nonsense, it's all a joke, are you really serious?" How can there be a kraken in this world? ”

"Yes." Lin Ran nodded lightly and affirmed: "It's just that it's not called a kraken, it has another name, it's called Quanke." ”

"Quanke?" Ruan Xing scratched his head and muttered the name a few times, feeling a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. He was originally a Xuanmen person, and he knew a lot more about these things than ordinary people, and after a little thought, he remembered, "You mean...... Mermaid? ”

Lin Ran shook her head, "More precisely, it should be a merman." ”

Since ancient times, there has been a mysterious creature, the human body is fishtailed, living in the South China Sea, crying into tears, its whole body is full of treasures, so there are many fishermen in the South China Sea who want to catch it, any merman, it is enough to make him rich overnight.

"......" Ruan Xing had a look on her face that you were teasing me, "Are you kidding?" ”

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Lin Ran sighed softly, "When did Quanke start to have it, I don't know, it's very valuable and brutal......"

"Wait." Ruan Xing interrupted her, "I can understand the value, but what the hell is cruelty?" ”

Lin Ran hooked her lips and snorted, "Do you know how Quanke can have legs and become like an ordinary person?" ”

Ruan Xing thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Exchange your voice with a witch and drink a magic potion?" ”

“……”

Lin Ran suddenly didn't want to pay attention to him, Ruan Xing saw that this was not good, and hurriedly put away the playful mentality, "Okay, okay, young lady, I'm not joking, you continue." ”

Lin Ran shook her head, "The Quanke has no legs, only a fishtail, and if it wants to have legs, it can only borrow other people's, so it will often lure fishermen into the water and eat half of people's bodies, leaving only its legs for its own." ”

"......" Ruan Xing couldn't say anything, mom, return me to the mermaid!

Lin Ran continued: "This leg can allow Quanke to walk upright like an ordinary person, but the leg is not theirs, and the real owner of the leg is dead, the legs are lifeless, and it will not be long before they will rot, and if Quanke wants to stay on the shore, he will have to find another pair of legs." ”

A pair of legs is a human life.

People and Quanke are actually each other's prey, killing each other.

On the shore, people have more advantages, but in the water, the spring guest is the master.

It is the king of the sea, and although it does not have the power to control the sea, it also has some magical abilities.

Ruan Xing shook his head in disbelief, "I've never heard this kind of story. ”

"It's normal."

This kind of thing, Lin Ran once heard from a respected celestial master, and no one knew about it more than 700 years ago, and now it is little known, and there is almost no record of the classics.

"And what about later? Later, there was no record of Quanke, so presumably the human race won, right? Quanke was driven out and killed? Ruan Xing was curious about the result.

Lin Ran smiled and shook her head, "If you really want to say who wins, it is indeed the human race that is superior, after all, the number of human beings is much more than that of Quanke, although there are also a lot of deaths, but compared to the loss of Quanke, it is not so serious." ”

"At that time, many powerful mages felt that they could not allow this situation to continue, so they negotiated with Quanke, and on the condition that Quanke agreed, their living area was sealed to form an independent space, and from then on they were cut off from the human world."

Ruan Xing was dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be this ending.

Lin Ran smiled faintly: "There is even a rumor that if one day you see a mirage on the sea, it will be when you are closest to Quanke." ”

Ruan Xing couldn't help laughing, "Having said so much, young lady, you mean, Atai was attracted by Quanke." ”

"I don't know, I'm just talking about it."

Creatures like Quanke, not to mention now, have disappeared even a few hundred years ago, they are unwilling to appear in the human world, multiply in their own independent space, live and work in peace and contentment, how can they come to this era of the end of the law to wade into troubled waters?
