Can't be saved? I'm still ...... Can't be saved?

The blue sky overhead suddenly sounded a muffled thunder, a sound of brushing, and a downpour of rain. I gulped in the damp air of the Silver Lake Bridge, ignoring the raging fires burning in the rain around me.

Lu Xuefeng still fell to the side with an ugly face, his brows were frowning, and he trembled slightly from time to time. Hasn't he recovered from the intense exertion? How long has it been?

Looking at his difficult appearance, wet hair sliding with the water on his eyelashes, I reached out and gently brushed the rain off his face, but my heart was indifferent, why didn't I feel heartache? He saved me, didn't he?

"Hurry! It's over there! Lu Xuelan's familiar voice and the sound of running splashes sounded from the bridgehead in the direction of Bagua Ridge.

Did he come to pick us up!?

There were no surprises, no excitement, and there was no half of the joy of escaping from the predicament in my heart, as if it was a pool of stagnant water. I just watched quietly as the flames went out in the rain, making a sizzling sound.

"Whew...... Whew, sister, sister! Are you all right? A pair of soaked coffee-colored leather shoes broke into my eyes, and a group of people hurriedly helped Lu Xuefeng who fell to the side. And Lu Xuelan's rapid gasp and concerned inquiry also penetrated my ears at this time.

I looked up expressionlessly, looked at him wet in the rain, and shook my head.

It's okay...... I didn't do anything......

I can't save it, I can't save the Kwai family, and I still can't save Gu Man. I staggered to my feet silently, ignoring Lu Xuelan, who was trying to stop me, and walked step by step towards the direction back to the hotel.

They came together, but now I'm the only one left.

"Sister!"

Before I could take two steps, Lu Xuelan hurriedly rushed forward and stopped me with an expressionless face. The expressions of worry and regret, accompanied by the white breath exhaled in the cold air, looked extremely anxious. Even my hand hurt when he tugged at me.

Flipping the wrist he grabbed hard, I shook my hand hard at him and yelled at him:

"Let it go."

If we hadn't met them, Gu Man and I wouldn't have come to Zhenzhou, and in that case, Gu Man wouldn't have died! It's all their fault...... No, and my fault! In short, it has not helped.

Just when I was confronting Lu Xuelan, the people brought by Lu Xuelan behind me seemed to have found something on the bridge behind me. Several of the people who were supporting Lu Xuefeng heard the sound and ran towards the center of the bridge.

"There's one more person, look!"

And one more!? Could it be ...... I turned around almost in a mood like seeing a miracle, and several people in the center of the bridge were surrounding a man, and in the gap, a black hair hung on the ground like a tangled aquatic weed, and the face that was also frowning was Gu Man!

"No, there's no breath anymore! Hurry up and bring it back, or you'll be in trouble if you're seen! ”

"No more! There's no breath left! Take it away! ”

"No more......"

No more......

……

Maple Leaf Hotel――

The Maple Leaf Hotel, located in the east of Zhenzhou, is a more palatial place than the Zhenzhou Hotel owned by Luojia. It's just that this place doesn't have the slightest attraction for me now. It's like a funeral parlor, storing the walking dead like me and Gu Man, who has no breath on the bed in front of me.

I sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her pale face. She wore new clothes, as if she had prepared them, and lay down in bed peacefully. I want to wait for everyone in the funeral home to remember and mourn.

The door behind him clicked open softly.

A large pile of thick kraft paper envelopes were thrown on Gu Man's body, and stacks of snow-white paper emerged from the cracked kraft paper, white like Gu Man's face.

I viciously swept all the papers scattered on the bed to the ground with my hands, turned around and stared at the person in front of me with bloodshot eyes, and said hysterically, "What are you doing! ”

"Ying'er, everything is not a foregone conclusion! Don't be rash! "Those familiar obsidian eyes, at the moment when I roared, revealed an indismissible coldness, serious and domineering. It's like whatever he wants me to do, I have to listen right away.

"It's not a foregone conclusion!? It's not a foregone conclusion, Gu Man is also dead! It was you in the first place, and it was you who called not to be rash, so Xiao Tao and Kwai Xu died! "I was in a nonsensical reproach at him, and every time, every time, it was because I met him, so that everything became like another uncontrollable place! Just because of him, Lu Xuefeng!

The obsidian pupils, who were still very calm on both sides, showed an unbelievable look of loss under my unreasonable reproach. He didn't seem to say anything more, just bypassed me, walked to the bedside, buried his head and picked up the white paper scattered all over the ground. Then he stood up and walked back to me with a thick stack of papers.

"When did you start being so irrational! I've been running around looking for these things since I woke up, is it just to hear you yell at me?! ”

There was a 'snap', and the pile of white paper slammed down on the chair I was sitting on. Lu Xuefeng finished speaking with a look of disdain and annoyance, turned around and slammed the door mercilessly.

The moment the door was slammed shut, I calmed down and glanced back at the Do Not Disturb sign on the doorknob that was a little shaky because of the previous smashing of the door. I couldn't help but have a heartache in my eyes.

I'm always ...... Is it always like this and suddenly hurting someone? Always use your intuition to judge and dismiss a person?

As if I had stepped on something, I left behind my complicated thoughts and crouched down, which was the leather file bag wrapped in white paper just now. There are two lines of words written on it in red and black ink.

The black word is in the upper left corner - aged file (sealed);

The red characters are written vertically in the center - "Sacrifice to the River Mother and Child".

Sacrifice to the river mother and child?

Worship the river below the Silver Lake Bridge? What is it? Is it related to the lonely shadow of Langtou?

A strange assumption crossed my mind, and I hurriedly threw away the envelope and picked up the wad of white paper that had been lying peacefully in my chair, the things that had been in the envelope earlier.

The first chapter is a neat and tidy case record:

Specific events: In 1934, due to the beginning of planning in Yinhu District, the leaders at the top requested that a bridge be built in front of Yinhu Mountain. Li Tong, the engineering team leader at the time, brought his wife and three-year-old son from the edge of the southern district to the construction. However, due to the turbulent water flow and the surrounding villagers, the bridge piers were never successfully built.

Origin: On December 3, the winter water suddenly swelled, and the surrounding villagers believed that Comrade Li Tong had angered the river god and forced Li Tong to kill his wife to comfort the river god. Under the coaxing of everyone, Li Tong's wife Qiao Xiaoman calmly accepted her fate. He took the initiative to agree to the river sacrifice, and accepted the earth law to split his body on the same day to comfort the river god.

On December 30, after Li Tong's son disappeared while playing at a construction site, the next day the construction workers disappeared en masse, including Li Tong.

December 3rd?

I carefully flipped through the dozens of transcripts behind me, and felt that the scenes depicted in the transcripts were as if I had seen them in a fantasy before.

Closing the case: After the death of Li Tong's son, on the first seven days of the vigil, I heard that the piers of the Yinhu Bridge were successfully completed, but someone secretly came to report that Li Tong had ground his son into a meat mud and mixed it into concrete. And told us that absolutely no one who participated in the construction that day survived, including Li Tong.

There were no corpses, and the entire construction team disappeared into thin air. Therefore, the case was hastily closed and no longer investigated.

On the penultimate page, a small line of red letters catches your eye: there are many questions that science cannot explain. invited the Luo family to suppress the magician, so that it was peaceful for a while. Therefore, it is sealed here, and no more will be done.

Seeing this, I can't help but feel that everything said in this file is too secretive, maybe only those who have experienced it can see it and not understand it.

His fingers gently groped through the file, as if to comfort himself not to think too much. It's just that a pothole appeared between the finger and the paper. It feels like something is stuck to the last piece of paper.

Curiously, I pulled out the last piece of paper, but after a few more cursory glances, I suddenly realized something.
