Chapter 8: Whose Body Is This?

After Xiaobai sank into the water, the figure that emerged from the water and the "floating corpse" disappeared in an instant.

The water is calm and waveless, and it looks as if nothing has happened.

I didn't react for a while, and subconsciously rubbed my eyes.

I wasn't dazzled, Xiaobai and the "floating corpse" floating in the water were really gone.

My heart sank, and I rushed towards the river.

After shouting a few times, there was no response, I threw my phone wallet and jumped into the river without hesitation.

At this time, it is pure nonsense to say that you are not afraid.

But even if I'm afraid, I have to go into the water, Xiaobai is my brother.

Even if he really killed someone by mistake, it's still my brother.

That's right, Xiaobai is a little distracted, and his private life is a little chaotic.

This time, because of a mistake, the rich woman may be killed.

But what about the police and the law, so what's the matter of dying here?

"Hey, you're going to go down like this? Not afraid of drowning? ”

Tian Xin's voice came into his ears very abruptly.

I looked back in surprise and saw that she had regained her freedom.

Tian Xin stood on the shore and moved his hands and feet, looking at me with a sneer.

"Don't be surprised, I didn't get ghosted. Do you really think my police academy is for nothing? His bondage level is too poor to trap me. ”

Tian Xin said a little proudly.

I frowned, this sucks.

Tian Xin still misunderstood that I was going to kill people, and Xiaobai "killed someone" again and tied her up.

To put it bluntly, she has a deep prejudice against the two of us now, and does not rule out the possibility that she will declare a personal vendetta.

Especially in this case, there is no one else around, and I am worried about what she will do to get revenge on both of us.

Xiaobai just sank into the water, and there is still salvation, I don't have time to talk nonsense with her here.

After a moment's thought, I continued to swim towards the middle of the river.

"Swim forward for about 20 meters, the direction is crooked, about 30 degrees to the left."

Tian Xin shouted a few words casually.

I turned a deaf ear to her words and wanted to disrupt my rescue route?

There are no doors!

"Hey, why don't you listen to persuasion? I've shown you the right route, why are you still swimming in the wrong direction? ”

Tian Xin's voice sounded with a hint of anger.

I really didn't bother to take care of her, and dived underwater according to the place where Xiaobai disappeared in my memory.

I'm also good at water, thanks to the fact that I used to swim in the river with my friends when I was a kid.

After groping for a long time, I only found the silt at the bottom of the river.

I was not reconciled, and surfaced three times in a row, groping for all the nearby areas of a few meters.

As the minutes ticked by, I was anxious.

If you drag it for one more second, the chances of Xiaobai surviving will be reduced by one point.

But there was only silt at the bottom of the river, and not a single aquatic weed was touched.

This seems to prove that after the rich woman fell into the water before, she should not have been entangled in aquatic plants.

I have a bad premonition in my heart, what is it that came out of the water before Xiaobai sank?

Could it be the legendary water ghost?

Folklore has it that after someone drowned, the ghost would not go away, and they would suffer under the water every day, and they would find a way to find a replacement for the dead ghost.

Those ghosts, known as water spirits, will drag innocent people into the water and drown them in order to be freed.

Grandpa said that this statement is not very reliable.

When I was a child, when my friends and I went swimming in the water, we encountered water ghosts.

Those friends almost drowned, and after being rescued ashore, they were covered in bruises, and it was said that they were pinched by ghosts.

Later, after learning yin-yang art with my grandfather, he told me that the water ghosts I met were actually "water monkeys".

It is a spirit that appears for an unknown reason, lives in deep water, and feeds on fish and shrimp.

In fact, most of the folk legends about water ghosts are water monkeys.

It is said that water monkeys possess terrifying powers in the water, often dragging people to the bottom of the water, blocking their mouths and noses with mud and sand and suffocating to death.

Some ferocious water monkeys can even feed on human blood.

To be honest, I've never seen a living water monkey like that.

I only know that if I encounter that kind of thing, the chances of Xiaobai surviving are very small.

In the water, the water monkeys are terrifyingly powerful and fast, and can easily dig under the water and shuttle between rivers and lakes.

When I came across this thing in the water, I didn't have the power to fight back.

The feeling of fear only made me more impatient, but Tian Xin, who was standing on the shore, did not stop, pointing fingers at me from time to time.

Even if I didn't listen to her random commands at all.

"Great Stick, are you trying to kill your friend?"

"You have already swam off track, I can see more clearly on the shore, you listen to me, swim about twenty meters to the left and try diving!"

I couldn't suppress my anger any longer: "What the hell do you want to do? Don't bother me, that's a life, can you please stop making fun of it! ”

Tian Xin seemed to be more angry than me, and shouted loudly.

"You're the one kidding with human life, right? I really didn't lie to you, how many times am I going to say it? Bastard, if it weren't for my relatives coming and it would be inconvenient to get into the water, I would have jumped in myself to save people! ”

"Are you sure you didn't take the opportunity to kill Xiaobai?"

I glanced at her, still not believing her.

Tian Xin jumped up angrily.

"Am I that kind of person? No matter what crime you commit, there is a law to punish you, so why should I know the law and break the law to harm you? ”

Her words shook me a little, did I really misunderstand her?

Maybe try what she pointed out and find out.

"Hurry up and do what I say, you have missed the best time to rescue, I hope your friend can hold out until you go down to save him!"

Tian Xin urged urgently.

I gritted my teeth and swam about twenty meters to the left as she instructed.

Diving down again, I touched the mud at the bottom again, and there were no aquatic weeds here.

But soon I touched a large rock, and after groping along it for a while, I finally made a discovery.

There seems to be a foot, deep in the mud next to the stone.

This shouldn't be Xiaobai's feet, his feet are not so small.

But this foot should not be a rich woman's, although her feet are not big, they are not so thin.

This "foot" feels very strange, slippery and greasy, and when I pull hard, it seems that the flesh on it can be torn off by me.

I wondered, what the hell is this?

I quickly let go of that foot and struggled to surface.

A gust of wind blew, and I shivered involuntarily, it was too cold, and the wind seemed to blow into my pores.

"Found the body? Hurry up and pull him up to rescue him! But you found the woman's body, right? How do you have that long hair? ”

Tian Xin was a little puzzled.

I wondered even more, I hadn't told her what I had found underwater, how did she know what I had found?

Whether it was a corpse or not, I'm not sure.

Another gust of wind blew from behind, and my snort was instantly filled with a strong fishy smell.

I seem to have smelled this fishy smell from the spirits.

"Smack!"

A slippery lump landed on my shoulder.

I shuddered, my nerves tensed, and I turned my head tremblingly.

"Oops,!" I yelled.

When I turned my head, I saw a highly decayed face, and all of its features had already rotted.

Is this a wraith? When did this thing get on my back?

No, it doesn't seem to be a ghost, it's a real corpse.

And this corpse was fished out of the water by me.

I don't know when the corpse's hair got tangled around my clothes.

When I surfaced, I brought this badly decomposed corpse with me.

After the fright, what made me even more unbearable was the stench.

When my stomach churned again, I felt like I was burning with all the stomach acid.

Instinctively, I tried to run away and struggled to swim to shore.

But I quickly reacted, I am an onmyoji, and it is not that I have never seen a corpse.

What's so scary about corpses? Is it necessary to escape?

What's more, the corpse's hair is still wrapped around me.

Wherever I swam, the corpse would follow me, as if it were lying on my back.

I held my breath, holding back the stench as I tried to push the body away from behind.

But after trying, I gave up, and the harder I tried, the tighter the corpse's hair wrapped around me.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and bring the corpse up! Tian Xin urged again.

I secretly slandered to myself, this is not the corpse I am looking for, what am I taking it for?

Now they are yelling for me to bring the body up, and some people don't be scared to cry when they see it.

It's really strange, I went down to the river and touched such a big circle, but Xiaobai didn't find it, and the rich woman's body was not found.

In the end, a strange corpse that had been dead for at least several months was dug up.

It's very inconvenient to move in the water, and if I continue to be entangled with the corpse, it is estimated that it will be difficult to untie all the hair that is entangled in me for half an hour.

I couldn't help it, so I dragged the corpse ashore, and I couldn't continue diving with this burden.

The strange thing is that after Tian Xin saw the corpse, he was not as scared as he imagined.

I didn't even bother to cover my nose, as if I didn't smell the stench.

She looked at the corpse in a daze for a few seconds, and said softly: "This is Sun Mulan?" ”

I was busy untying the hair that was wrapped around me, and I looked at her in surprise when I heard her words.

"Who is Sun Mulan? You can recognize the corpses like this? ”

What a joke, the level of decomposition of this corpse is simply too bad.

Not to mention the looks, it's hard to judge even the figure.

Tian Xin shook his head expressionlessly: "I don't know, after you untie your hair, hurry down." ”

Tian Xin's voice became very cold in an instant, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

But her smile was so weird that it scared me a little.

Before I could react, Tian Xin suddenly kicked me.

I was only about a meter away from the shore, and when she kicked me, I flew out.

"Poof!"

Tian Xin's kick was very powerful, and it directly made me sink to the bottom of the water.

In my panic, I took a few sips of water, and the thought of the river soaking the corpse made my stomach even more uncomfortable.

I tried hard to float to the surface, but at this critical moment, my right leg actually cramped.

I "chuckled" in my heart, Tian Xin wanted me to drown here.

I gritted my teeth and resisted the pain in my right leg, and finally surfaced.

At this time, I didn't dare to approach the shore, for fear that Tian Xin would kick me.

After taking a deep breath, I kept my body afloat and tried to grab the toe of my right foot with my left hand, then pulled hard a few times.

This method relieved the cramps, the pain gradually lessened, and I was barely able to continue swimming.

But after looking at the shore, Tian Xin's figure had disappeared.

There was only the rotting corpse on the shore, and a fainting drizzle not far away.

Seeing that Tian Xin was not there, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I was about to go ashore, my legs were suddenly grabbed by something.

A huge force hit and I was pulled into the water again!
