Chapter 16 The riverbank under the bridge

"It's really cool at night, isn't it~" On the bank of Tianyang River, a young couple is walking slowly. It's autumn and the weather is cool, perfect for a walk. So even though it's dark, there are still couples who come to date secretly, and the scenery here is nice and few people disturb it, so it's very suitable anyway.

"yes~ It's so comfortable." The boy who walked in the back looked affectionately at the girl who was bouncing in front and catered to her.

"Hey, hey, hey! Look at it, there are fish in the water! The girl cried excitedly, and ran briskly towards the river. The boy looked over and saw a dark shadow swimming in the sparkling river reflecting the moonlight. The boy did not stop the girl from being in high spirits, but told her to be careful.

"Well, I know~" The girl agreed excitedly, and then ran happily towards the river. She squatted down by the river and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to make a close contact with the big fish, and the big fish also slowly swam towards the girl squatting by the river......

Suddenly, the big fish broke out of the water, and it had strange arms! It grabbed the girl's wrist, and then sank hard, dragging the girl into the water. Not only did the boy not reflect it, but the girl only let out a short scream and sank to the bottom, leaving only the sound of blisters bursting.

The boy was frightened, and he sat down on the ground, looking in horror at the still tumbling water, his pupils dilated, and his face was as dead as ashes.

"Hey, have you heard? Wang Lin, who was in the third class, drowned the day before yesterday...... Many people have drowned in the Tianyang River in the past few days, but don't go to the Tianyang River, I heard that ...... I heard that there are ghost ...... there" between classes, a group of girls got together to discuss gossip, and the parents in the small town were their favorite, and the dead people around them were naturally their favorite topic.

"Ghosts?" Banxia, who was sitting on the side sorting out her books, immediately came to her senses, she hurriedly approached them and interjected in a low voice: "You guys, what the hell are you talking about?" ”

"Banxia, you don't know? The day before yesterday, Wang Lin from the next class died, and I heard that he was drowned...... Many people have drowned in Yangchuan this day, and they all said...... This is the drowning ghost in Tianyang River looking for a stand-in......" one of the girls whispered.

"What?" When Banxia heard this, he hesitated, and seemed to have discovered something terrible.

"Huh? There are ghosts in Tianyang River, who did you listen to? In the factory, Huo Qian threw a thick stack of documents in his hand on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"That...... They said...... Wang Lin from the next class drowned...... Tianyang River has drowned a lot of people, isn't it...... Are there really ghosts? Banxia stood aside and said nervously.

"Hehe......" Huo Qian leaned on the table: "Please, Banxia." In the past few days, Lian Ke has been here, and with these little ghosts in the neighboring town, I've been very busy. You're already an exorcist, and you can take care of things on your own, and I believe you. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Banxia's shoulder, looking at Banxia with a "I believe in you" expression.

"Really?" Banxia looked at Huo Qian and said excitedly.

"Of course." Huo Qian said seriously, his tone was very affirmative.

"Oh yes!" Banxia jumped up excitedly: "I must investigate this matter clearly!" Leave it to me! After saying that, he ran out in high spirits......

"Uh...... So, are you here to ask about Linlin? Night had fallen, and in a coffee shop in the shopping street, Zhang Hao sat in the booth, looked at Banxia, who was sitting opposite, and said weakly. He is Wang Lin's boyfriend, now his face is pale, and his dark circles are heavy, obviously he has not rested well in the past few days, and he seems to be serious.

"Hmm." Banxia looked at Zhang Hao, who had a melancholy face, and nodded.

"She stumbled and fell into the river while walking and drowned, is that okay?" Zhang Hao's tone was very helpless.

"What? That's it? Banxia asked in surprise, but obviously disappointed......

"yes, that's it, is there anything else to ask?" Zhang Hao lowered his head and said coldly.

“…… Without. Banxia looked at the lifeless Zhang Hao and shook his head.

"Oh...... Are you a good friend of Linlin? Why haven't you heard her talk about you before? Zhang Hao raised his head and asked suddenly.

"Uh...... No, I don't know her. Banxia shook his head: "I just heard that Tianyang Chuan, where she drowned, has recently killed a lot of people, and it seems that there are monsters at work, so I came to investigate...... Looks like I'm too careful......"

"Monsters...... You...... Wait a minute! Zhang Hao stopped Banxia, who was about to leave, and his tone was anxious: "Are you willing to believe me?" ”

"Huh? Let's talk about it. Banxia looked at Zhang Hao, who suddenly had energy, and smiled slightly.

"Actually...... Linlin was dragged into the water by a person, she went to play in the water, I didn't stop her, and later she said that there were big fish...... Then, a man burst out of the water and pulled her into the water, and I ...... I can't do anything...... I ......" Suddenly, Zhang Hao covered his forehead and cried helplessly: "It's crazy, isn't it...... I...... It's true, but none of them believe it! I...... I ......"

Banxia raised his hand and gently put it on Zhang Hao's shoulder: "I believe you ......"

"What?" Zhang Hao raised his head suddenly, looking at Banxia with a gentle smile, his voice was still a little sobbed: "But...... But isn't that crazy? You ......"

"Because...... I'm an exorcist. Banxia looked at Zhang Hao, who had a questioning face, and showed a confident smile. So, can you take me to the scene of the incident? ”

"That's it...... It's ...... there" Zhang Hao stood in the light at the head of the bridge, pointed to the riverbank not far away, but he didn't dare to go over, and he still seemed to have lingering palpitations about the previous one.

Banxia looked at Zhang Hao, whose legs were trembling, and didn't say anything more. She walked down the light alone and came to the place where the incident happened, the moonlight today was also very good, the river was sparkling, the shade of the trees on the side broke the moonlight, and the ground was also full of soft fallen leaves, which was very suitable for walking, and Banxia was still secretly blaming herself in her heart for not finding such a good place before.

Banxia came to the river, squatted down, and felt the coolness of the river with his fingers. It felt very comfortable, and Banxia couldn't help but moan slightly, but just as Banxia was enjoying the wonderful, a dark shadow of you gradually approached her from underwater......

"Hula!!" A figure rushed out of the water, and Banxia was startled and sat down on the ground. This thing looks like a human, but the whole body is green, and the eyes are prominent, but even Banxia knows the true face of this thing - just an ordinary water ghost.

"Hmph, the little water ghost dares to make a mistake!" Banxia looked at the water ghost and smiled confidently, and the fear just now disappeared together.
