Chapter Twenty-Five: Floating Corpses in the River
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, I casually flipped through the text message: "Integrity, I'm Wang Ling, this is my number, I'll always contact you in the future, good night." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking that she had really helped a lot today, I immediately replied, "Hehe, okay." ”
The next day, I was woken up early in the morning, and it turned out to be Lao Xing answering the phone at that time.
I listened to a few words, and instantly laughed, it turned out to be the same people who remembered Lao Xing's phone number yesterday, and they called early in the morning, and they were taking the initiative to say hello to the great god.
Remembering that I was going to Fauber's today, I crawled out of the bed.
After washing up, I was about to go out, when Lao Xing asked me to wait and told me that he was going to Fuberna too.
After Lao Xing finished speaking, he turned his head and said into the phone again: "Ye still has important things to do today, so I can't delay, so I will hang up first." After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and jumped out of bed.
Wu Qi and Hu Yu were shocked to hear that we were going to Fu Bo, and they both got up quite quickly and said that they wanted to go over and have a look.
After getting ready, a few of us went out, and the smog outside was still very strong. But he hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the sound of a car horn behind him.
I subconsciously looked back and saw that a person got out of the car, it was Wang Ling.
Wang Ling was wearing a women's denim and a baseball cap on her head, and when she saw that we had found her, she smiled and said, "Let's go to Fuber's place, let's get in the car." After speaking, he pointed to the car behind her.
I was stunned, I couldn't imagine how she was here.
Without waiting for me to answer, Lao Xing walked over with a smile on his face and said, "It's rare for a beautiful woman to take such care, so it's a lot of trouble."
Seeing this, Wu Qi put away his car keys and followed behind Lao Xing, and Hu Yu also followed.
When I saw that they had already agreed, I thought that if I had to say anything more, it would be too much, so I became a wallworm.
The car drove slowly along the way, but since it wasn't very far from Fauber, it didn't take long to get there.
Fauber had already made tea at home, but he didn't expect so many of us to come, and then turned around and took a few disposable paper cups.
When we all picked up the hot tea, Fauber looked at me with a hint of concern.
I immediately understood, and then said to Faber that it was no problem, everyone here already knew about it, and they were all their own people.
Fauber nodded slightly, and then slowly said what had happened in the past two days.
It turned out that early yesterday morning, the old man got up early, sneaked into the Daihe River alone, and continued to investigate the movements of the toad demon.
But for the whole morning, nothing was found. At noon, while the old man was eating the steamed buns he had brought with him, he continued to rotate by the river alone, and suddenly he smelled an unusual fishy smell emanating from the river.
But because the fog was so strong, Fauber couldn't see what was in the river.
So he chased after the fishy smell all the way.
Downstream, Fauber found a large and thick foam board on the shore, and Fauber immediately pushed it into the water, broke another branch on the shore, and jumped on it.
Paddled to the middle of the river, the scene in front of him simply made Fauber's scalp tingle, if it weren't for the experience of a hundred battles and the courage of his skills, ordinary people would definitely be scared to the point that their legs would be weak and fall into the water.
I saw a lot of corpses floating in the middle of the river, but whether it was human or monster, Fu Bo didn't see it at the time.
Because some of these corpses were still clothed, and their bodies looked like people, but their faces were covered with pus, and their faces were unrecognizable to the naked eye, and even some of their bare skin was like that of a toad.
There are a few that look like toad demons, but they are different from toad demons, because the skin part is still the same as a human, and there are no webbing on the hands. And some simply have the same upper body as the toad demon, but below the waist is not legs, but a festering tail.
But all the corpses, without exception, had a lot of mucus on their bodies, and they all emitted a fishy smell.
Fauber flicked the branches a few times, but found nothing.
Since there were so many of them, salvage was impossible, so Fauber sighed and paddled the foam board to the shore again.
Once ashore, Fauber continued his search along the river. But I searched until dark, and I didn't find anything other than that.
When the old man came home in the evening, he passed by the newsstand and bought an evening newspaper, but the news on it quickly caught his attention.
"In the past half a month, many citizens have disappeared in the city, and they are suspected of being kidnapped"
It wasn't big news, but Fauber was thrilled when he saw the images in the newspaper that cameras had captured several of them before they went missing.
Because several of them were wearing the same clothes as the corpses in the river before they disappeared! This is no coincidence!!
Then Fu Bo analyzed that this must be the toad demon's trouble, and thought that a few of us had provoked the toad demon before, so he hurriedly called me that night.
The old man took a sip of tea after speaking. At this time, Wang Ling trembled all over her body and leaned against me, obviously very scared.
I'm trying to figure out what the hell this is, could it be that the corpse has changed...
At this time, Hu Yu suddenly spoke: "Uncle, do you want to get rid of this toad demon?" ”
Fauber nodded at him.
"Then count me in," Hu Yu blurted out.
Without waiting for Fu Bo to speak, Lao Xing also stood up: "Count me in."
Immediately afterwards, Wu Qi also nodded: "I hope I can also help."
After they finished speaking, they all looked at me at the same time, and I thought to myself that Lao Tzu was really slow to react, and the limelight was robbed by them. So I joked: "Since you are all in a hurry to die, then I have no choice but to accompany you."
At this time, Wang Lingnuo, who was snuggling up to me, said: "Then I'll go too."
"No," Fauber said suddenly, solemnly.
"Uncle is right, I think you can forget it, otherwise after we triumph, you invite us to dinner or something, even if you participate" Lao Xing looked at Wang Ling and said, with a trace of contempt on his face.
Fauber shook his head and explained, "I'm not saying that she can't do it, but that none of you can do it, no one is allowed to go, and it's best not to go out if it's okay recently."
"Why?" we blurted out almost unanimously.
Fu Bo sighed: "It is the duty of cultivators like us to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and your ideas are all good, but this is not what you should do."
Fu Bo took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides, this time the person I have to deal with is not an ordinary person, it is almost certain that it is a monster who has been practicing for hundreds of years, and I am not completely sure that I can get out of the way, so don't make a mess of you." Alas, if the junior brother is still there......". This time Fauber didn't finish, shaking his head, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
"I want to do great good karma, I have to go." I blurted out.
"I've learned a lot from my grandfather since I was a child, and I'm half a cultivator, so I have to go." Hu Yu was resolute.
"I have a deadly Gu spell in my body, there is nothing more terrible, I will go too." Wu Qi regarded death as home.
"I've always been cautious in my words and actions, but last night I boasted a little bit at the wine table, and I have to atone for it." Xing Jun's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
"I have no reason, but go with integrity, and I will go".
(Author PS: This work is signed by A when it is 30,000 words.) Since I didn't expect it to be signed before, the manuscript was 0. In addition to the great joy, I have recently wanted to spread less and save more to deal with emergencies. But just after finishing a chapter in the early morning, a netizen (known as ValderFields) sent a detailed opinion on the article. There is also a netizen who rewarded 300 starting coins at the same time, which is the second time I have been rewarded (the first time is 10 starting coins, and it is my own reward). All of the above is like a great encouragement to me, and I am grateful, and I get up again to change the chapter angrily to show my respect. I wish the above two and all the friends who pay attention to this book, the whole family is happy, healthy and all the best)
