What's even more creepy is that the body remains of various animals are floating on the surface of the river, as well as some unrecognizable organs and tissues.

"Oh my God, this is a river of blood?" Xiao Yao gasped and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Xiao Shen Jie was still running around the river excitedly, as if she hadn't noticed anything strange here.

"Big stupid, what are you doing in a daze, don't come soon!" She urged.

Xiao Yao endured his fear, stood up, and followed in the footsteps of Xiao Shen Jie.

The two walked three or five hundred meters in the direction of the upper reaches of the river, Xiao Yao was about to help but ask, but Xiao Shen Jie squatted down and began to carefully inspect the items on the river.

"The things in this water look so strange, where did they come from?" Xiao Shen Jie tilted her head and thought.

Xiao Yao didn't answer, just stood aside and was silent.

At that moment, a crow croaked and flew low over the heads of the two men.

"Ah, the Great Monster Bird!" Xiao Shen Jie raised her head, pointed above herself and shouted.

Xiao Yao didn't see the color of the crow clearly, and the light was very dim—in fact, he couldn't see its shape at all, but secretly wondered in his heart if it could be the Earl of Nottington again.

The Earl of Nottington...... Is it friend or foe? Why should he help himself?

"Big brother, look!" Xiao Shen Jie suddenly stood on tiptoe, grabbed Xiao Yao's wrist with one hand, and pointed to the upper reaches of the river with the other: "There, a person floats down!" ”

Xiao Yao fixed his eyes, and sure enough, a humanoid creature floated down from the upper reaches of the river.

The "humanoid creature" floated slowly in the darkness, like a flat boat.

Her long hair was scattered and obscured most of her face.

Only the faint moonlight shone through the gaps in the hair, illuminating a pale and bloodless face with indistinct features.

The female corpse's eyes were closed, and her lips were slightly open, as if she was sleeping.

Her body swayed gently with the flow of the river, her limbs spread out weakly, like a discarded doll.

However, the most terrifying thing was that there was a huge wound in her neck, from which bright red blood was pouring out and merging into the water.

"Oh my God, this isn't a living person, is it?" Xiao Shen Jie took a step back in horror and hugged Xiao Yao's thigh.

Xiao Yao was also so shocked by this scene that he was speechless.

The female corpse floated closer and closer, and it was already clear that she was wearing a ...... A...... I don't know what color the knee-length skirt is, the fabric has been soaked with blood and clings to the body. Her skin was as white as paper, and she could faintly see cyan veins crawling all over her body. Her empty eyes seemed to be staring at Xiao Yao and Xiao Shen Jie, and it seemed to be staring into the distance, looking for an unknown target.

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked around, trying to find a branch or stick long enough to retrieve the female corpse.

But here is bare, where will you go up to find such a long stick for a while?

Not to mention that Xiao Yao can't swim, even if he can swim, he doesn't have the courage to go into the water to fish for corpses with this kind of "water quality".

"Big brother, are you going to get her up?" Xiao Shen Jie saw through his intentions.

"Yes, but it's ...... all around here," Xiao Yao said.

The current of this blood river is not turbulent, but it is not slow either, and the female corpse is about to float away under the noses of the two of them.

"Doesn't Big Brother know how to swim?" Xiao Shen Jie suddenly said, "Then Xiao Jie is going to fish, right?" ”

"W-" Xiao Yao said in surprise.

Before he could react, the little girl next to him had already plunged into the stinking river of blood with a beautiful swimming and diving posture.

"Hey! You! ——" Xiao Yao shouted.

I saw her delicately draw a perfect swimming entrance from the air, her hands propped up the water, and her slender legs wrapped in pure white children's dance socks drew a smooth arc behind her, and finally plunged into the river of blood in a standard entry position.

Xiao Shen Jie's swimming style is very graceful, like a flexible mermaid.

She paddled through the water and quickly swam to the woman's corpse.

Somehow, Xiao Yao remembered that when he was in Zhouzhuang, Shen Jie threatened to "go down to the river to perform a flower tour for you".

It's just that I didn't expect it to be "cashed" in this kind of place and in this form.

The woman's hair fluttered in the water, and her body rose and fell with the current.

Xiao Shen Jie stretched out her hand and grabbed the arm of the female corpse, trying to pull her to the shore.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Xiao Shen Jie patted the female corpse's face, but the female corpse did not react, still maintained its original posture, and sure enough, it had lost her life.

Xiao Shen Jie was a little anxious, and she decided to change her strategy.

Instead, she hugged the woman's waist and dragged her to the shore with her back.

As a child, it is rare to have such strength.

Blood mixed with dirt kept slapping on Xiao Shen Jie's face, she gritted her teeth and moved towards the shore little by little.

Xiao Yao lay on the shore, stretched out his hands, grabbed Xiao Shen Jie's arm, and pulled her and the female corpse ashore together, finally making a contribution.

Xiao Shen Jie stumbled ashore, covered in dark red blood. Her tutu was soaked in blood, slimy, and smelled of rust. The flower pattern on the hem of the skirt has been covered in stained blood, and the original color is almost invisible.

She wiped her face with the back of her hand, trying to wipe the blood off her face, but the blood stained more and more. Her hair was black and shiny, but now it was soaked in blood and stuck to her face, and she looked very embarrassed - in fact, both her doll-like face and her whole person looked exactly like what she looked like in a horror movie.

The image of children further reinforces the stereotype of this horror movie, and it is thanks to Xiao Yao that he knows what is going on, so he is not frightened by her.

Viscous blood seeped into the thin white cotton fabric, forming a large, mottled red stain on Xiao Shen Jie's legs, and blood continued to seep out of her round-toed patent leather shoes (now Little Red Shoes).

As mentioned before, she is very petite, a circle shorter than the average girl of the same age, and she looks even weaker when she stands on the shore.

"It's so cold...... Xiao Shenjie hugged her already soaked self with both hands, shivering.

Xiao Yao didn't dislike her at all—he beckoned to her, and the latter came over with his skirt twisted, and he reached out and hugged the little girl tightly in his arms.

The boy hugged the wet, slimy little girl tightly, whispering comforting and encouraging her, while rubbing her arms and sleeves up and down with his big hands. His eyes were not idle, and he kept carefully looking at the cold female corpse in front of him.

The face of the female corpse has begun to decay a little, and it is not easy to identify her appearance, but it is meaningless to identify her appearance, and I think that it is also Shen Jie's face with my toes.

Identifying her is mainly based on height, body shape, and figure.

It's a pity that no matter how you look at this body, it's very ...... Shen Jie herself Approach, or resemblance.

The unrecognizable color of the knitted sweater, the unrecognizable color of the short skirt, is exactly the same as the Shen Jie he was looking for.

Xiao Yao's heart slowly cooled and fell.

"Xiao Shen Jie, is that her?" Xiao Yao asked with some difficulty, "Is it the sister we are looking for?" ”

"It seems to be ......" Xiao Shen Jie was still trembling, her teeth fighting up and down: "I don't know, I can't be sure." ”

Xiao Yao remembered very well that Shen Jie was wearing white socks, but the female corpse in front of him seemed to be wearing black socks - but this could not be used as evidence, because he could not be sure if this was the color of white socks dyed by the river of blood.

Take her off and find a place to wash it up? Xiao Yao shook his head, driving away this unrealistic and absurd idea.

Shoes, the female corpse has no shoes on one foot, and a small leather shoe hanging on the other foot.

Xiao Yao remembered that Shen Jie was wearing sneakers, but he couldn't be sure.

"The place where she was killed or dumped should not be far from here," Xiao Yao reasoned as he touched his chin, "Otherwise, both shoes will definitely fall off their feet, this kind of shoes ...... Can't hang up. ”

"Big brother," Xiao Shen Jie gradually stopped swinging, raised her head and said weakly, "There is another ...... floating down over there." A ...... Body. ”

"Leave her alone," Xiao Yao immediately said decisively, "Let's continue to walk upstream to find the source of these corpses." ”

"But, big brother ......" Xiao Shen Jie reminded him: "It seems to be a man." ”

"Male?" Xiao Yao looked in the direction of Xiao Shen Jie's finger.

……

"This, so far away, so dark, how can you tell a man and a woman?" Xiao Yao asked with some confusion.

"I smell it—do you want to fish, big brother?" Xiao Shen Jie said excitedly.

“？” Xiao Yao said: "You're addicted, aren't you?" ”

Xiao Shen Jie broke free from Xiao Yao's embrace with all her might, and trotted all the way into the river of blood again.

Xiao Yao: "......"

Three minutes later.

"This little brother seems to be alive!" Shen Jie, a professional corpse digger, shouted excitedly.

"I knew it was fucking Zhang Zhengkai...... Xiao Yao muttered to himself: "In this world, all women are Shen Jie, and all men are Zhang Zhengkai, I am used to and accept this setting." ”

"It seems to be really Zhang Zhengkai's brother, ah, he's awake!" Xiao Shen Jie shouted.

The "handsome" boy with Zhang Zhengkai's face struggled to open his blood-stained eyes—his pretty face was also stained with blood.

"I ...... Am I dead? Zhang Zhengkai said with a somewhat confused expression: "I'm still alive?" Xiao Yao? Is that you? ”

"Hello, it's me." Xiao Yao said coldly.

He clenched his right fist hard, straight and vertically, and smashed it into the bridge of his nose.

Xiao Yao felt that he had never hit someone so hard in his life - of course, slashing people with a sword didn't count.

The feeling of smashing a naked fist into someone else's face...... Unusual.

Exceptionally cool.

He seemed to hear the sound of bones shattering, and of course it could have been auditory hallucinations.

"You're sick, you!" Zhang Zhengkai screamed like a pig.

"Big brother, what are you doing!!"

"I've had enough of you! I'm fed up with your endless harassment and pestering of us, and I'm fed up with your toasts and don't eat and drink! Xiao Yao roared louder than him: "I don't care if you are Zhang Zhengkai or some of his puppet projection incarnations, where is Shen Jie!" Where is Yu Luying! What the hell are you going to do? What did you do to them?! Where are the two of them?! How are we going to wake up from this nightmare? You say? You say? ”

Xiao Yao grabbed Zhang Zhengkai's collar tightly, swayed back and forth, and then smashed down with another punch.

"Ah!!! I've had enough of you!! Zhang Zhengkai shouted. (End of chapter)
