Chapter 050: Mirage
Chao Qingfeng waved his hand and got up, picked up the ipad, sat down at the counter, opened "Captain America 1", watched it with great interest, and the sound was quite loud.
Zhao Xingyue brought a cup of tea over and asked, "Boss Chao, why do you like watching Captain America so much, in my impression, you have watched it at least more than 20 times, right?" Don't you get tired of watching? ”
Chao Qingfeng nodded, "I like this story very much." ”
Captain America is about a recruit with a weak physique, after undergoing experimental transformation, he became a super soldier, and since then his strength, speed, and endurance are far beyond ordinary people, as Captain America, he has made outstanding achievements in World War II, fought a decisive battle with his old enemy Red Skull, fell into the sea and was frozen for more than 70 years, and then joined the Avengers or something, but these stories are not the focus of Chao Qingfeng's liking.
His favorite, and what he watched repeatedly, was the first half of the first part, that is, the scene where the protagonist was in the barracks and undergoing experimental transformation, and there was the easter egg at the end, when the protagonist woke up, he was told that World War II was long over, and his girlfriend was long gone, and the protagonist said, I missed a good date.
No one has noticed that when Chao Qingfeng sees the last clip, he will always blink subconsciously, trying to make his moist eye sockets appear more natural.
In the days after Chao Qingfeng came back, Li Zifeng did not stop, and Fu Shanhe took over the business, so he had to handle it for him no matter what, otherwise the name of the dream interpreter would be smashed.
These days, Chao Qingfeng has tinkered with a lot of ghost-catching things, what traditional magic weapons, yin and yang rulers, town house mirrors, charms, ink fountain lines, it is estimated that it will not work, most of those things are just marketed products, everyone recognizes in their hearts, and thinks that this thing can defeat ghosts, but the real ghosts, no one has ever seen them, and no one knows how to catch them, so you have to figure out how to do it yourself.
However, in order to solve this business as soon as possible, Chao Qingfeng would sleep at Fu Shanhe's house every night, and Li Zifeng waited for the long-disappeared dry night walk.
Heavy rain.
The clouds cover the sky, the thunder and lightning roar, on the top floor of the science and technology building, the rain is rattling, standing in front of the windowsill, you can clearly see the rain curtain sprinkled to the sky, Li Zifeng made a pot of good tea, sat in front of the window and waited for the arrival of the dry night.
When someone pushed open the door, Li Zi didn't raise his head and said, "Is there any new news this time?" ”
"Yes."
Dry Night Xing sat cross-legged opposite Li Zifeng, picked up a small teacup, drank it all, and nodded: "Good tea!" ”
"It's dangerous this time, but I think it's okay to try." Dry Nightwalk whispered.
Li Zifeng spread out his hands, "No information pictures or anything?" ”
"There are no information pictures, I only know that there is a legend of an immortal water ghost in the local area, this water ghost drowned in the lake, anyone who washes clothes or swims in the lake will be dragged into the water by the water ghost, but after the water ghost killed many people, there is still no reincarnation, and now no one dares to approach the lake." ”
"Go on."
"I know very little about the water ghost, there have been survivors who have been attacked by the water ghost, there is a row of barbs on its back, like the fins of a fish, but his appearance is that of a man, he is covered with gray and white patterns, the skin is smooth, like the skin of a fish, when he goes out, the bottom of the lake will emit a strong light, people who see this bright light will be dizzy, limbs weak, and even vomit, he can stir a body of water, there is a whirlpool of death, anyone who swims nearby will be swept into it, Judging from these rumors, this should not be a water ghost, strictly speaking, it should be called a water monster. ”
Li Zifeng asked, "What is the connection between this water monster and my search for me?" ”
Dry Night Xing poured a cup of tea, filled it with Li Zifeng, and said: "This is the key point, there is such a local legend, I will tell you concisely." ”
"There was a real incident over there, there was once a child who was very bad and very smart, he made a lot of money, and he also helped the locals make a lot of money, but he was bad, he often did bad things, so everyone loved and hated him, and after a long time, the contradictions and conflicts were fierce, and naturally broke out, and the child's parents were forced to die, and he was in pain, so he prayed to the local gods to let him mend his ways, and then he ran into the mountains, and after seven days came out of the mountains, and since then this guy has become extremely stupid, but he is kind-hearted, At first, everyone thought he was a liar, but then gradually it became clear that he had really become stupid. ”
"And then?"
After all, after he became stupid, the villagers' incomes also declined, and life was not easy, so everyone wanted to show his ability to make money, but he had no memory, only bits and pieces, so some people believed that he gave his memories to the gods, and the gods took away his intelligence, but also took away his evil, and the water monster I was talking about, the lake in his area, was the place where the child was taken away from his intelligence and evil, So when the water monster first appeared, the villagers firmly believed that this was the god that the child had sacrificed to back then, and the memories and abilities of making money in the child's mind were all in the mind of the water monster, plus the water monster was smart and evil, just like the appearance of the child before, the village sent people to strangle it, but the good ones in the water were dead, and then no one dared to touch the water monster, so they avoided talking about it. ”
Li Zifeng said: "You mean that this time we are going to kill the water monster?" ”
Dry Night Walking nodded, "That's what it means, the legends here may be false, but this thing is true, I have investigated, there is indeed a child, after running into the mountains for seven days, he became extremely clumsy, as for the reason no one knows." And that water monster is also real, it does exist, and it is indeed weird, and the professor told me that killing the water monster and taking his spinal fluid will help you recover your memory. ”
"As you said, this matter is really not easy to do, no matter how powerful the eyes are, they only live on land, they can't fight, only we can escape, but this water monster lives in a lake, we are people, not fish, it is difficult to fight him in the water."
Just like when encountering the sand monk and capturing the sea monster in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong generally does not go into the water, but lets Zhu Bajie go down, after all, he was Marshal Tianpeng before, in charge of 100,000 Tianhe sailors, and he has good water quality. And Sun Wukong's land fight is extremely powerful, but it is difficult to exert his true strength in the water.
Of course, this example may not be appropriate, but the meaning is the same thing, Li Zifeng was undecided, and asked: "What is the name of that water monster?" ”
"Mirage."
