Ajin and others were always paying attention to the expression of the old ghost in the cage.
Due to the restrictions of the ghost realm, Guiyi was unable to provide key information related to the breach of the reservoir, but expressions could not lie.
"Give up, you won't find it." The old ghost said bitterly, "We haven't found it in all these years."
"You guys also built Xinlingmei Plastic Surgery Hospital, right? Don't waste your energy. Sihe Reservoir is different from other places. Even if we all die, this place will not disappear."
The long-dead water ghost sometimes sneered and sometimes advised earnestly: "I advise you to leave now, and keep to yourself. I can tell you the information of the next stop."
"Oh?" Ah Jin sat on the shore and chatted with him, stroking the wool curls on the ghost head and said, "Tell me what you have to say."
Seeing that there was hope, Lao Gui quickly said, "The time in Happy Amusement Park has always been stuck on Saturday. Saturday is the park's fixed family time, and only families can go there. You obviously don't meet the requirements. If you leave now, I can write a recommendation letter for you."
Seeing that these people were not easy to deal with, the old ghost obviously held the mentality of "I would rather die than let my friends die", and kept lobbying.
Ah Jin scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."
Jiang Ji was still reading the responses from netizens in the forum, and one of the comments caught her attention.
[The weird loves to mislead people. The earliest clues may have nothing to do with supernatural events. Don't be led into misconceptions.
Is it possible that “white face, black hair” does not refer to a corpse, and that “fishing game” does not refer to fishing in a literal sense, but may be… salvaging something?
I just checked the river basin information. The Sihe Reservoir spans the Beihe and Yuhe rivers. The Beihe River is a section of the ancient canal. Many ships have sunk here. In fact, a painting of a lady or a portrait of a maid can meet this feature.
Among the more famous ones, during the Yuanyou period, a group of more than 30 maidservant statues were transported to the then Puhua County to build the Holy Mother Temple. The address is now Wuchuan City. When transporting one of the maidservant statues, the ship sank near the Beihe River, and nothing was found after many salvage operations.
The emperor at that time was superstitious. After hearing about this, he believed that it was a sign from heaven, so he did not send people to rebuild it, but left the space vacant.
——The location of Sihe Reservoir is just downstream of Beihe River. 】
I’m afraid you won’t believe me, in this reply
The maid statues were as tall as a person, with thin eyebrows, small mouths, fair skin and black hair.
Some lowered their eyebrows and smiled softly, while others tilted their ears to listen, each posture was different.
In the corner of the last photo he released, there was a missing image of a maid.
When Jiang Ji talked about the netizen's inference, everyone noticed that the water ghost suddenly froze, stopped talking, and lowered his head.
There is a problem.
Xue Li stared at the water ghost: "I understand now why there is a rumor about the 'fish with long hair'."
The first group of people probably got the news about the maid statue, or had seen the maid statue in this water area, so they came to the reservoir at night under the guise of fishing to look for it.
In order to conceal its true identity, they called it "long-haired fish", but something went wrong.
Once a water ghost appears, it will continue to lure strangers over.
"Fish with long hair" is the excuse that water ghosts use to lure humans to come, and it gradually evolved into a mechanism for killing people in the ghost realm.
The maid seemed to be the cause of the formation of the ghost realm. She had stayed underwater for so long, being nourished by countless corpses and absorbing so many obsessions that she had developed extraordinary powers.
This power deceived strange eyes, making it impossible for them to find her.
Only humans can find it.
This is also why there are both a way of life and a dead end on the two forked roads leading to the Sihe Reservoir.
Why has the reservoir, which buried so many people, never expanded outward and is still more dangerous than the Hillside Hotel?
The power of the maid statue and the ghost realm has been competing with each other implicitly, so starting from the Panshan Highway, the killing mechanism of the Sihe Reservoir has been chaotic, contradictory and clashes.
"Fishing" was the original excuse for searching for the maid statue, and it also became the biggest misleading of the ghost realm to humans.
Just like netizens have been confined to the weird and began to search for supernatural events related to the reservoir, once they fell into the rhythm of the ghost realm, it was difficult for them to break out of the fixed thinking.
The others suddenly realized: "So bringing your own fishing rod and bait doesn't mean a real fishing rod and bait!"
In fact, the solution to the Sihe Reservoir is very simple. Since it is a maid statue used for worship, you just need to invite it out reverently.
Jiang Ji opened the password box, took out a bunch of incense from under the pile of paper money, and gave three sticks to each person.
"Go to your respective fishing spots and place the incense sticks on the shore and light them."
"Damn, Wang Chao even prepared this thing?" Ye Changli walked away in amazement.
Seeing them starting to take action, the old ghost became anxious, but it was trapped and had no way to interfere.
It turns out that the bait refers to incense.
And the fishing rod is a person.
Jiang Ji stood by the water, lit three incense sticks, looked at the water calmly and said: "You have worked hard over the years, I am here to take you home."
Wisps of white smoke swirled into the sky, gathering towards the water surface, and the surrounding fog was dispersed.
A whirlpool formed on the water surface, growing larger and larger, and the floating corpses began to sink, including the old ghost with a terrified face.
In the whirlpool, a human-sized statue of a maid slowly emerged from the water.
Her complexion was still bright, her hair was black and shiny, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
She was very similar to the thirty-two statues of maids in the Basilica of the Virgin Mary, but there were subtle differences in her expressions and movements, and she was surrounded by an aura that was a mixture of weirdness and holiness.

As soon as this broadcast sounded, the netizens who were still squatting under the post were stunned.
They never expected that the person asking the question in the forum was actually a psychic, or Ying Huai's ace team?
One of the netizens opened his eyes wide and turned to ask his wife, "Did I hear it correctly? The radio just mentioned..."
His wife tenderly
