Chapter 21: Go! Pikachu!
In the early 90s, Hong Kong was not yet in economic recession, and the city was expanding rapidly, with large-scale demolition and construction.
The black water pool deep in the mountains seems to be isolated from the world, and you can't feel the changes outside at all, and it is still the same for a hundred years.
The waterhole was a turbid dark green, and there was no movement except for some ripples where the stream entered. There were no fish and turtles rolling, no birds flying by, not even a single insect chirping in the surrounding weeds.
There is not even the slightest breath of life.
Qi Zihuan and Xiao Ming were standing by the pond at the moment, discussing their next plans.
"Xiao Ming, don't go down for a while. You stand by the water's edge and stand for me. Qi Zihuan said.
As Mr. Mao guessed, he tried his best to guide everyone to find out the truth, and finally brought Xiao Ming to the waterhole together, which was really not kind.
It's not that he deliberately wants to hurt people, he just keeps thinking of a player and subconsciously treats Xiao Ming as a baby in the game. Those who have played the game know that when the enemy first let the baby go, red and blue give priority to their own drinking, in case the baby hangs, it will indeed be distressed for a while, but it does not affect the continuation of the game.
In his original plan, he hoped that Xiao Ming would at least find the dropped peace bracelet first, and then go into the water together, and he would sweep the formation and send Xiao Ming to put on the peace bracelet for the corpse.
The peace bracelet represents Aunt Mei's commitment to Li Qiang, if it can still be binding enough, there is no need to be tough with Aunt Mei at all.
Don't look at Qi Zihuan who has experienced the enhancement of the soul of the hundred ghosts and ghosts, what paper man wooden sword pagoda uses 6 to fly, but ghost hunting is not a live broadcast, it still depends on the strength.
Qi Zihuan believes that his strength has improved quite limitedly.
Li Bo and his nine ghosts have been tortured by Aunt Mei for nearly a hundred years, and they are already so weak that they are about to dissipate.
Only the stronger the ghosts are collected, the greater the effect of the divine soul enhancement can be, and the power of the Zhaori Tower and the Peachwood Sword can be fully used.
To put it bluntly, Qi Zihuan is just blindly completing the first job change, and he has just changed into a novice cloth clothes, and in the final analysis, he is still a weak chicken.
But yesterday's words from Teacher Mao still made him feel guilty about Xiao Ming and others, so he temporarily changed his plan and persuaded Xiao Ming not to go into the water.
"It's okay, Master Qi, I have already drunk the pool water on the way to find the corpse of Chu Renmei last time. If I can't solve this problem completely today, I won't be spared in the future. Xiao Ming was carefully observing the pool and decisively rejected Qi Zihuan's kindness.
"I'm sorry I forgot to remind you not to drink water."
When Xiao Ming heard this, he turned his head to Qi Zihuan and smiled brightly, and said, "I believe that you will definitely be able to defeat Chu Renmei, so it doesn't matter." ”
Qi Zihuan looked at his big white teeth with a smile, thinking that this guy was still so stupid, but he was a little moved, and still persuaded: "It's very dangerous to go here, you won't be able to come back if you don't pay attention, you still don't want to go down." I just found a vine nearby, it is long and strong, and I will tie it to my waist in a moment, and you will take the other end and guard it on this shore, and if you find anything wrong, pull me up. ”
"Don't be persuaded, Master Qi, do you know, when I was a child, I liked to play in the water the most, and my sister carefully guarded my neighborhood every time she took me to the beach, for fear that something would happen to me. But she never knew that I was actually much better than her. Xiao Ming still smiled and said, "Later, when I grew up, I didn't see anything serious all day long, and she still always worried about me like when she was a child." ”
"Yes, although Cessy always scolds you, in fact, she has always been most worried about you, so don't go into the water."
"Jack has already drunk water, and it is dangerous for his sister to stay with him at any time. For the sake of my sister, for the sake of Annie, I have to do something this time! What's more, as I said just now, I am very good in water, and if you have something to do in the water, I will only have time to save you if you are by your side. Xiao Ming finished with a smile and continued to turn his head to look at the pool.
At this point, Qi Zihuan no longer persuaded him, and said directly: "Okay, let's go into the water together, first keep a certain distance to search, one is to find the peace bracelet, and the other is to find Chu Renmei's corpse." We all tied the vine around our waists, and if anyone found it or couldn't hold their breath, we would pull the vine to let the other person know, and then go upstream and out of the water to talk about the situation. ”
……
Anyone who has swam in the wild should be able to understand that if a pool of water is not clear enough, the sense of fear brought to people underwater is great.
This is the case in the black water pool, as soon as Qi Zihuan went down about a meter, he found that the visibility began to decrease sharply, and he could basically only see a distance of about an arm's time.
There was a thick and condensed pitch black in front and back, and Qi Zihuan felt as if he was in a huge space, but the place other than his body was unknown, he couldn't see it, he couldn't feel it, and he didn't know what was hidden at all.
Maybe a python was hidden, maybe a thousand leeches were hidden, maybe there was nothing.
It is because of the unknown that we are afraid.
Qi Zihuan was cautious and slowly dived at first, but the water temperature around him became extremely low, cold and biting, and his ears gradually began to ache due to the water pressure.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and sped up to dive underwater.
Touching the bottom of the pool, he had to put his face close to the ground to see a small area, squinting his eyes to take a closer look, except for aquatic plants, it was still aquatic plants.
A wave of desperation arose.
At the bottom of such a big pool, you can't look far away, touch it inch by inch, when will there be a result.
For the time being, he could still hold his breath, so he simply pulled the aquatic plants and slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, a face suddenly emerged from the darkness ahead.
Even if Qi Zihuan was already ghostly on land, in this dark water with a huge sense of oppression, he was almost out of his body when he was frightened by this person's face.
On second look, the man stretched out a hand to his face and pointed his index finger to the water.
Qi Zihuan came to his senses at this time, and the facial features of the person in his field of vision gradually became clear, it was actually Xiao Ming, this kid.
The two surfaced, Qi Zihuan took a big breath and was about to scold, only to hear Xiao Ming's excited voice come first.
"Master Qi, come and see, is this the peace bracelet we are looking for?"
He raised a hand and waved it, holding a simple silver bracelet in his hand.
Qi Zihuan hurriedly swam over, took it and took a look, only to see the width of the little finger of the silver bracelet, there was an opening, and the bamboo leaf pattern was engraved on it, and the whole body was oxidized and blackened.
"Bamboo is safe, it should be this bracelet."
Qi Zihuan raised his head after speaking, and saw Xiao Minglu's face smirking on the water, and a little guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared.
I heard him shout: "Next, look for the corpse." Go ahead! Pikachu! ”
