There were layers of strange things floating on the water, backs up, tightly packed together. From a distance they looked like the fishy white foam that floats up when raw meat is blanched.
The old ghost was the worst off. The flesh around his chest was burnt, and it sizzled and smoked when it came into contact with water, giving off a somewhat disgusting meaty smell.
Jiang Ji: “…”
Tsk tsk, that's too violent.
No wonder there are warnings in reservoirs that “no electric shock or frying of fish” is allowed.
Behind every outrageous regulation, there has been an even more outrageous practitioner.
She suddenly thought of something and quickly pulled the fishing rod in her hand, using some effort to pull up the ghost head.
Wow, it’s curled into wool curls.
The eyes, nose and ears are still there, but the lines on the face are broken in several sections, and the smiling lips are drooping, which makes it inexplicably less natural.
"Well...it can be considered a reverse plastic surgery."
She didn't know who she was trying to comfort.
Jiang Ji looked at the floating corpse on the water, then turned around and explained to the air seriously: "He was the one who blew it up. It has nothing to do with me."
Ying Huai: “…” Demolishing the bridge after crossing it?
He reminded with a half-smile: "You spoke."
Talking also violates the rules of the game.
Jiang Ji replied sweetly: "It doesn't matter, I have you here."
She thought indifferently that it was Ying Huai who broke the rules first, so he would be the first to die if the sky fell.
This thought was clearly written on his face, and Ying Huai was immediately amused, humming a half-hearted laugh.
The Mind Chain was unusually quiet, and several pairs of ears pricked up quietly.
Now that both companions have broken the rules, the weirdness of the reservoir can attack them at any time.
The others also had no catch at their respective fishing spots. No one was good at fishing and didn't want to fish in this spooky place anymore, so they just packed up and gathered here.
The sudden change caused the black shadow that was about to move to pause for a few seconds.
The calm water surface began to roll, and the color of the water became darker and darker. Looking closely, you could see layers of hair surging on it.
Dead faces emerged from the water, with only the whites of their eyes staring coldly at the two figures on the shore.
The next second, these snake-like hairs swam towards the two people on the shore.
The ghost face that followed opened its mouth wide, its oral cavity and tongue had rotted away, and were covered with hair and moss.
Accompanied by the screams of evil spirits that are powerful enough to pierce the eardrums, it directly strikes the most vulnerable part of the human brain.
The ghost face was so close that Ying Huai put a mental barrier on her and sent her towards A Jin and the others.
Xue Li stepped on a stone and jumped down. The ground where his feet landed began to crack along the footprints. He shouted loudly and pressed down heavily with his two hands as big as palm-leaf fans.
The next second, the gravity of those rising ghost faces doubled, and they slammed heavily into the water surface!
Bang!
Rotten flesh was flying everywhere and corpse fluid was overflowing!
Ye Changli walked over, his face full of amazement: "Old Xue has become much stronger now."
Ah Jin stood on the shore and looked out. He saw countless swollen corpses on the water. He gasped and coughed because of the stench. "Cough, cough, cough... Oh my god, how can there be so many? There must be at least 60 of them!"
But they didn't hear the announcement that the game was over. Wei Shengdie was puzzled: "Aren't they all white faces and black hair?"
Jiang Ji placed the ghost head on a rock to dry, and put the fishing rod aside. "Didn't you notice? This game didn't have any time limit from the beginning. The rules of the fishing game only mentioned 'once you start, you need to catch ten fish.'"
"It's called fishing, but it's actually more like catching dolls. If you use up all your coins ten times without catching the doll you want, it's considered a failure."
They separated according to the rules and originally planned to find the weakness of the Four Rivers Reservoir through the rules of the game.
There are too many people who drowned in the reservoir. Even if they are ordinary corpses, it will take a lot of time to mobilize local police forces to clean them up.
Killing by force is not the optimal solution. Finding the weakness of the ghost domain can save most of the time. There are other sites waiting for them later.
Nine out of ten fish are distractions.
There is only one way that can really help them pass the level from beginning to end.
——The "white face, black hair" mentioned unanimously by those white monsters was the key to their breakthrough.
She and Ying Huai both understood this point, so they turned the table over and stopped pretending to be nice to them.
Hearing this, Ah Jin's face turned bitter: "This condition is too broad. These corpses all look like this..."
Finding a corpse in a morgue is no less difficult than fishing for a corpse in the sea.
"Could it be that when these weird creatures saw the body, it was already soaked beyond recognition and could only provide such vague features?"
Everyone was guessing.
After the previous few attacks, these water ghosts have realized that they are not easy to deal with and are beginning to think about retreating.
The old ghost disguised as Ying Huai finally recovered and wanted to escape underwater with a turn of his eyes. Ying Huai had already noticed its thoughts and turned his mental power into a cage to imprison it. Each cage bar was surrounded by silver lightning snakes, showing great power.
But none of them are locals, and their knowledge of the Sihe Reservoir is limited to fragmentary information.
This ghost area is full of water ghosts, and there are no human NPCs who can get information like in the escape game.
Jiang Ji thought about it, and suddenly looked at Ying Huai: "Is it okay?"
Ying Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Jiang Ji smiled. It was a pleasure to deal with smart people. This guy really understood what she meant at a glance.
The two of them were playing riddles back and forth, leaving everyone else confused.
Jiang Ji took out his phone, opened the fishing forum, and typed on it for help:
[Are there any family or friends in Wuchuan City who know what happened in the past at the Sihe Reservoir? Urgently needed. ]
She posted it under the previous post, and thousands of netizens who were waiting here received the message immediately.
【Oh my god, the OP is still alive! 】
[Hold on, I'll ask my grandpa right away! ]
[Don't worry, I have contacted the local museum of literature and history and will help you find it right away! ]
[I remember that 20 years ago, there was a crazy woman in my grandfather’s village who drowned in a reservoir. She was probably murdered!]
[The earliest rumor about the "fish with long hair" was spread by a few idle hooligans in our village more than 30 years ago. Those hooligans went fishing in the reservoir on a dark and windy night, and ended up drowning in it. The fish has never been salvaged.]
Xue Li was surprised, "Boss, this might be against the rules..."
Everything about the ghost story is confidential to the Investigation Bureau.
"Yeah, what should I do?
