Chapter 448 Midnight Artificial Lake
Principal Xue was originally a member of the Yin-Yang Association, and after seeing this situation, he also realized that something was wrong, this was definitely not an ordinary student disappearance.
So, he found the fourth sister to ask for help.
After listening to Principal Xue's story, I thought for a while, thinking that this matter was not complicated, simply put, the missing student should have been dragged away by the water ghost.
As long as you catch the water ghost in the artificial lake, everything will be revealed.
I suggested to Principal Xue that he temporarily prohibit students from studying at night, and that all students should return to the dormitory after afternoon classes, and that they should not go out at will after dark.
After listening to my suggestion, Principal Xue nodded again and again, and then went to assign the task.
Lonnie and I went straight to the new campus, ready to wait until the evening to find out the water ghost.
At this time, it was still early, and Lonnie and I took the meal card given by Principal Xue to the cafeteria for a hearty meal, and then walked around the campus to eat.
After eating in the evening, we slipped to the library again, read a book for a while, and really experienced the daily life of a college student.
The library was very well stocked, and I was holding a fantasy book and reading it with relish, when suddenly, Lonnie next to me touched my arm.
"Xiao Chengzi, don't just patronize and read, it's not too early."
Only then did I raise my head and glance around, and the entire library was already empty, and not a single student could be seen.
The clock on the wall was already pointing to eleven o'clock.
"Let's go, it's time for us to act."
I stretched, reluctantly put the book back on the shelf, and walked out of the library with Lonnie.
The artificial lake is located on the west side of the new campus, the size of a football field, surrounded by a fence, and in the middle is a large iron gate, but the iron gate is unlocked, revealing a gap.
Outside the gate, there is a pine forest, which used to be a holy place for those couples to talk about love, but after the disappearance came out, the entire new campus was panicked, coupled with President Xue's instructions, as soon as it was dark, all the students returned to their dormitories, and there was no one in sight on the entire campus.
The pine forest in the dark night also seemed silent and silent at this moment, and the creaking sound of stepping on the fallen leaves added to the eerie feeling.
After getting through the crack in the iron gate, I first walked around the artificial lake, and then walked along the pontoon bridge to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
This pavilion was built together with the artificial lake, at least a few decades old, standing in the center of the pavilion, you can see that the lake below is very clear, the waves are calm.
According to the students, after they heard the singing that day, they ran over and saw a woman in white in this pavilion in the middle of the lake.
So, Lonnie and I decided to wait in the pavilion for the woman in white to reappear.
Minutes and seconds passed, and soon, it was close to twelve o'clock in the morning.
"Xiao Chengzi, that water ghost won't dare to come out today, right?"
Seeing that there was still no movement around, Lonnie couldn't help but sigh and asked me with a hint of sleepiness.
"Probably not, after all, we all hide our breath, the water ghost doesn't know our identity, seeing two big living people sent to the door, I don't think it will give up easily."
"We'll just follow the plan."
As soon as the words fell, a dark wind suddenly struck, and the artificial lake, which was originally like a mirror, began to ripple.
Faintly, I heard a low song coming from beneath the water's surface.
"In the cold night, how can people who are heartbroken and numb, who are invaded by pain, understand ......"
Lonnie and I looked at each other, and we couldn't help but be vigilant.
This song sounded in my ears, but when I looked around, I couldn't see a single figure, so I couldn't help but take out a flashlight and shine it on the water.
I don't know when, clumps of dense hairs appeared on the water, and they were converging towards the location of the Lake Center Pavilion.
After encircling the pavilion, the hairs spread along the edge of the pavilion, faster and faster, and soon, they wrapped around my hands and feet and pulled them towards the lake.
I was so frightened that I struggled as hard as I could, but the hairs got tighter and tighter, and soon I couldn't hold it anymore, and before Lonnie could come to my rescue, I popped and fell into the artificial lake.
Underwater, I opened my eyes and saw that I was being pulled, moving closer to the middle clump of hair.
When the distance was less than two meters, the clump of hair gradually spread out to both sides, revealing a hideous human face!
I don't know how long this face had been soaked in the water, it was swollen, and a pair of white eyes were staring at me, and the eyeballs were almost bursting out of their sockets, and they let out a sinister smile!
Seeing that the dense hair was about to completely envelop me, my left hand, which had already condensed into a thunder fire sigil, suddenly slapped out.
Thundered!
With a loud bang, hair flew, and half of the human face was blown off, and the black blood gushing out of the lake stained the lake black.
The water ghost didn't expect me to be prepared, and immediately turned around and was about to abscond into the depths of the lake.
Naturally, I didn't give it a chance, so I quickly took out the Soul Restraint Cord, put it on its head, and swam towards the water.
The water ghost had been badly wounded, and it seemed to expect that if it was dragged to the shore, it would die, so it sank to the bottom with all its might.
The water ghost had a lot of strength, and I tried to pull it out of the water, but to no avail, I was dragged by it and kept sinking.
At this moment, a fluffy tail suddenly stretched out from the water and approached my shoulder, I quickly pulled the tail, and then the tail suddenly retracted, and threw me out of the water directly with the water ghost.
I crouched on the shore and spat out a few mouthfuls of sewage before I came to my senses and saw Lonnie crouching next to me, her face full of concern.
"Ni, what about the water ghost, did you catch it?"
I quickly asked Lonnie.
"Well, isn't it there?"
Lonnie pursed her lips and said with some disgust.
I followed Lonnie's gaze, and sure enough, I saw that there was a black thing lying motionless on the ground, and then I let out a long breath and relaxed.
"Xiao Chengzi, you are so bold, you even thought of running into the water to catch the water ghost, if I hadn't dragged you up with my tail in a hurry just now, it would have been dangerous!"
I couldn't help but smile: "Ni, of course it's not difficult to destroy this water ghost, but if we want to find the missing student, naturally we have to catch it alive, and besides, it's not you, I don't have to worry." ”
