Chapter Twenty-Six: The Spooky Reservoir

I subconsciously sighed and wanted to ask something, but in the end I chose to be silent.

So, I got on the bus and drove in the direction of Dongmen Village with the bus uncle.

At about six o'clock, we finally came to the boundary of Dongmen Village, and in the distance I saw a reservoir embankment a few hundred meters ahead, and next to the embankment was a large bamboo forest.

That should be the embankment of the Dongmen Reservoir in the photo, and Wang Feiyang in the photo is in the center of the reservoir.

Below the reservoir sat a desolate and old village, which had darkened slightly, and there was no light or smoke to be seen on the other side of the village, and at the same time there was no sound to be heard, and many of the mud houses had completely collapsed, and even the occasional brick house was crumbling, and from a distance, the overgrown place no longer looked like a village, but more like a grave that had not been taken care of for many years.

Who would have thought that it was such a place like a desolate grave, twenty years ago when it was at its peak, there were more than 300 people living here, they did it at the beginning of the day, and rested at sunset, although they were not very rich, but leisurely, until that night, no one knew what happened, a whole village of more than 300 people suddenly went out halfway, and then as if under a spell, one after another jumped into the reservoir to commit suicide, and the next day the floating corpses filled the entire reservoir!

I looked at the black-and-white photo in my hand, and then at the embankment of the reservoir over there, Wang Feiyang was still struggling in the photo, and I had been silently praying in my heart that nothing would happen to him.

At the same time, I don't know what the female ghost brought us here for, can I really find out the true identity of the female ghost here, and find out the truth behind it?

There was no road ahead, so the bus uncle and I stopped the car and quickly walked towards the embankment of the reservoir.

As soon as we walked in, we heard the screeching sound of a water pump, and the bus uncle and I looked at each other, our faces full of doubt.

"Didn't this Dongmen Village say that it was uninhabited twenty years ago? Why is there a pumping sound? ”

The bus uncle also felt very strange, he shook his head, and motioned to go up to the embankment first.

Walking up the embankment, I saw that on the other side of the embankment, there were three high-powered pumps pumping out the water in the reservoir, and the color of the water looked strange, black, red, black and red.

And next to the small bamboo forest, I saw several large tents set up, and some people were cooking by lighting a fire next to the tent.

"What are those people doing here?"

I looked at the tent over there, frowned and asked the bus uncle next to me.

The bus uncle's face also became a little ugly at this time, and then he strode towards the tent.

I hurriedly followed the bus uncle, along the way I also kept looking around, hoping to find Wang Feiyang's figure, and finally I looked at the center of the reservoir according to the position shown in the photo in my hand, but it was empty, and there was no Wang Feiyang at all.

"Hello, what are you doing here?"

Soon, we arrived at the tent, and the bus uncle took out his cigarette and handed it to one of the middle-aged men who was cooking on a fire.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at us suspiciously, and didn't pick up the cigarettes handed out by the bus uncle, as if he was suspicious of our identity.

The bus uncle thought for a moment and replied: "We used to be from this Dongmen Village, isn't it about the New Year, thinking about coming back to incense the ancestral grave, you see that no one has been here in this village for more than 20 years, and suddenly saw you pumping water in this reservoir, so I came to ask if I was curious." ”

As soon as the bus uncle said this, the man became a little excited, and then he turned around and ran towards a tent, shouting loudly as he ran: "Professor Liu, Professor Liu, come out quickly, someone from Dongmen Village is coming!" ”

With the voice of the middle-aged man, some people wearing yellow overalls quickly came out of the big tents, and the one who walked in front was an old man who was about sixty years old, with gray hair and glasses.

The bus uncle and I were a little at a loss, and then the bus uncle nodded and said What are you doing here?

The old man hurriedly introduced himself and said that his name was Liu Huaidong, the director of the Geological Survey Bureau, and that he had been in Dongmen Village for almost two months.

I'm very curious, what is this geological survey bureau doing in this Dongmen village all of a sudden? The bus uncle on the side also asked the same doubts as me, and Professor Liu's face suddenly became a little nervous after hearing our question.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Bus asked.

Professor Liu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said that it was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing after so many years of geological exploration work.

As soon as we heard this, we came to our senses and hurriedly asked Professor Liu what strange things had happened.

"You come with me."

Then Professor Liu turned around and walked into one of the tents, and the bus uncle and I looked at each other and followed behind him, and after entering, we found that there were several large fish tanks in the tent, and in that fish tank, we saw a very strange scene.

Have you ever seen a catfish more than a meter long and a crucian carp more than half a meter long? And inside this fish tank, there are these big and surprising things.

A catfish that is more than a meter long, a crab that is as big as a watermelon, and even a loach that should be only a finger long actually looks like a yellow eel.

"Where did these big guys come from?" Uncle Bus asked with a frown.

"It's in this reservoir."

I was stupid when I heard it, you said that if you find this kind of big thing in a big river, it is already very rare, how can such a big fish be raised in such a reservoir?

Professor Liu said that this is the strange place of this reservoir, but there are more strange and terrifying things, speaking of this, Professor Liu's face became more nervous, and then asked us again, is it really from this Dongmen Village? He also asked us if we knew anything that had happened to the Dongmen Reservoir before?

The bus uncle replied, "Tell me first, what terrible things have you encountered in this reservoir?" And why are you here? ”

Professor Liu thought for a moment and replied that just about three months ago, a group of wild fishing enthusiasts accidentally found this place, and then caught this large and strange fish in this reservoir, at that time this incident attracted the attention of our Geological Survey Bureau, suspecting that there must be chemical weapons left over from the Anti-Japanese War buried under this reservoir, because of the leakage, so the fish here have mutated, so we sent people here to do the survey as soon as possible.

At first, there were seven people from the Geological Bureau, but on the third day after they came, they all jumped into the reservoir and drowned.

I was shocked and said, how could it be that all seven people drowned?

Professor Liu said that they also thought it was incredible, but although it was strange, they still sent people and the police to come and retrieve the body as soon as possible, and a total of three divers went down before and after, but something more serious happened.

"What's the matter?" My interest was immediately aroused.

Professor Liu took a deep breath and replied: "Of the three divers who went down before and after, two of them never got up, and the only one who got up went crazy at the time and was later sent to a mental hospital, but the next day, he ran out of the mental hospital again, and then returned to this reservoir, jumped down and drowned." ”

Speaking of this, a sad look began to appear on Professor Liu's face, saying that he had been in the field of geological exploration for decades, and strange and bizarre things had not been encountered, and there had been deaths, but he had never caused such a huge death.

"And after that?" The bus uncle on the side asked.

"After that, we didn't dare to send divers down, so we could only find lifeboats and salvage them on the water, but after the lifeboats were launched, something we didn't expect happened again!"

"What happened again?" I felt my nerves tense up, too.

"When one of the lifeboats paddled to the middle of this reservoir, it suddenly lost its buoyancy and sank directly to the bottom of the reservoir as if it had fallen into a swamp!"
