Dark moon is the night for murder, high wind is the day for arson.
A few wisps of evening breeze blew outside this dilapidated pond of unknown depth, summer insects chirped, and a stumbling sound of footsteps came from not far away.
An honest middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties stumbled to the edge of the pond, took out three incense sticks, inserted them into an incense burner embedded in the moist soil, knelt on a somewhat dirty-looking cushion, and placed his hands on his chest.
His eyes were filled with fear, and he muttered softly, "He... Lord River God, I have brought two fresh souls as promised. When... When can you return my wife's soul to me..."
The middle-aged man was trembling. He buried his head so low that he couldn't see the night around him.
He could clearly smell the fishy smell from the surrounding soil. The smell was like rotten fish and was disgusting, but the middle-aged man could only endure the smell and kneel there trembling.
“Clatter—”
Suddenly, I heard the sound of flowing water, and ripples suddenly appeared in the pond. I could vaguely see some light red mist floating over the pond.
The wind from the pond made the middle-aged man shiver, and his body felt a little cold. The coldness penetrated deep into his bones and made his limbs feel a little stiff.
"Not...enough..."
A strange sound came from the surface of the pool. The sound was very dull and mixed, with an inexplicable sense of disorder.
This feeling made the middle-aged man feel very uncomfortable. He felt his eardrums were bulging. The sound was really unbearable. He could only grit his teeth and endure it. He touched his forehead to the wet soil, leaving many marks.
"Please have mercy, Lord River God. I will definitely... definitely bring you more people. Please save my wife, save her, save her..."
Before he could finish his words, a sudden gust of cold wind blew over, causing the middle-aged man to stagger and fall to the side. His head accidentally hit a stone beside him, and blood gushed out.
"Who... are you... to dare to negotiate with me..."
The gloomy voice sounded again. It was very cold, but one could clearly feel that this time the voice was much smoother and clearer than the last time.
"Um?!"
Before the middle-aged man could react, the figure in the middle of the pond suddenly burst out with a puzzled voice, and then became furious: "You... dare! Betray me!"
“Boom!”
Along with this furious roar, the water in the pond suddenly gushed out, forming a violent water column in the air!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man was dumbfounded.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!"
He didn't care about the injury on his head at all. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, bowing down to the "River God" as if asking for his forgiveness.
He knew the ability of the 'River God'.
The middle-aged man felt as if the sky had fallen on him when he heard the betrayal from the 'River God'. His head was buzzing and he had no idea what was going on.
But before the 'River God' could react to him, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from not far away!
“Thump, thump, thump—”
Rhythmic single-point gunshots came from a distance, and bullets cut through the sky and directly hit the so-called river god!
"Bang!"
Several explosions were heard from the 'River God', and the places hit by the bullets burst open one after another, turning into flowing water and flowing into the pond.
The 'River God' also screamed in pain, and then his whole body turned into a ball of water, dived into the pond, and rushed towards the distance!
He escaped very decisively, without any hesitation.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man who had been worshipping the "River God" was stunned. He then turned around and found that military pickup trucks were roaring towards him, and soldiers with real guns and live ammunition were approaching from afar.
"It's you! It's you who forced the River God away!"
The middle-aged man turned around with red eyes. Looking at the soldiers who were approaching him, he picked up a stone from his side without hesitation and approached the soldiers angrily!
"Bang!"
Without hesitation, the soldiers shot the middle-aged man down with one shot, then continued to advance. However, they stopped at the edge of the pond and did not continue to chase after the "River God" who had escaped from the pond.
Their mission was only to shoot and drive away the 'River God', forcing the 'River God' to move in other directions. By then, there would naturally be other people to deal with the 'River God', and they would not have to do anything.
Their job is to stay at their post and wait for other things to happen.
“Hmm…”
The middle-aged man who was knocked to the ground seemed to be struggling to get up. There was no obvious blood on his body. The shot he just fired was a tranquilizer bullet.
"The target is very resistant, shoot more anesthetic, increase the dosage!"
They dared not be careless with this middle-aged man.
After all, they are people who have visited unknown supernatural creatures. If they obtain something extraordinary as a result, it will bring them great trouble.
After being captured alive, they will be isolated and some samples will be taken from them. Finally, they will be sentenced and shot.
This is a standard set of behavioral procedures.
"The target codenamed 'Water Ghost' has left the expected location and has not been found in Area A yet!"
Suddenly, a series of voices came from their headphones, which immediately startled the dozen or so soldiers who were blocking the scene.
