When Doudou finally recovered his breathing after being rocked by Qin Xiaoxia, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Except for Doudou who was still tense due to fear of water, Qin Xiaoxia was startled and began to come to his senses.
This wish is not to cause any trouble, but to take them directly to the root of the river problem.
But speculation is one thing and reality is another.
In this situation, Qin Xiaoxia guessed that they might not have really reached the river, but he did not dare to conclude that this was the fact.
What if there really is a monster, what if you really encounter a monster.
Aren't the two people, one adult and one child, sitting on the sofa asking for death?
Unfortunately, no matter how rich your psychological activities are, you cannot change the current situation.
The river, which should have been polluted, was now extremely clear, with visibility reaching dozens of meters away.
I don't know if it's because of the wish or because of the change in my own vision.
At this moment, the black stain in front is particularly conspicuous.
"Doudou, Doudou! Look what that is."
But soon, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou discovered to their horror that the sofa had no intention of stopping and was still rushing forward.
“Stop, stop, stop…”
Brush~
From extreme movement to extreme stillness, the sofa instantly stopped a few meters in front of the black stain.
Qin Xiaoxia only had time to curse "Damn it".
Inertia transforms the feeling of being pushed on the back into a violent forward rush of weightlessness.
Just when Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou felt like they were about to pounce on the filth, they strangely did not leave the sofa.
Although the feeling of inertia is real, my butt is always "stuck" to the sofa.
After a few seconds, the two of them became completely still, just like the sofa.
Qin Xiaoxia lay there like a dead dog, looking at Doudou, who was not much better than him, and made a weak remark.
"It's really, really exciting."
Doudou pulled Qin Xiaoxia's clothes and pointed to the front.
The dark shadows were like a rotten mixture of all kinds of filth.
They were wriggling together somewhere on the river bottom.
The turbid currents emanating from them constantly affect the surrounding river water, making it even more filthy.
Qin Xiaoxia suddenly saw the corpse.
There are cats, dogs, and even people!
These corpses were already in a state of complete decay, occasionally tumbling out from the darkness and filth for a brief moment.
“Ugh~”
Seeing a human corpse with a half-rotten face and thick dirty liquid all around, even a heart as big as Qin Xiaoxia's couldn't help but feel a dry heave in his throat.
It should be the Environmental Protection Bureau staff member who disappeared two days ago.
These things are obviously the source of the changes in the Wanmi River. They feel like living things but it is difficult to identify them.
"Big, big cousin... this thing is the evil swamp..."
There was a tingling feeling in Doudou's tone.
Just as Doudou finished saying this, Qin Xiaoxia was full of questions.
Boom!
A pulling sensation dozens of times stronger than just now came from behind.
In less than half a second, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou felt themselves being thrown away.
About ten seconds passed.
Qin Xiaoxia opened his eyes with limp hands and feet, and found himself and Doudou sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Doudou still had his eyes closed.
The sofa felt wet, but I soon realized that it was not water, but my own sweat.
"Doudou, wake up."
Qin Xiaoxia shook him a few times, and the latter opened his eyes in an instant, then looked around for a while.
"Huh~ Fortunately, fortunately..."
Qin Xiaoxia: “…”
"No, it's fine. What on earth is that 'evil swamp' you mentioned just now? Is it a monster?"
"Well, I guess so."
Doudou told the information he knew about the Swamp of Devildom with some concern.
The Swamp of Evil cannot be classified as a living thing in the conventional sense.
It is more like a natural phenomenon.
It is a "dirty" magical power that gathers from the remnant resentment of countless creatures that have died in the swamp over the years in the depths of the dangerous swamp.
The Swamp of Evil has no basic concepts of life, death, reproduction, etc., but it is extremely jealous of living things.
The most dangerous swamps are those where the Namaste Swamp appears, and it is very difficult to find it there, let alone destroy it.
In fact, there are more similar existences than just the Nightmare Swamp. There are also special places like the Corpse Gathering Ground and the City of Disaster that are formed by the gathering of resentment. They are all very dangerous things.
Doudou had only heard of it, and this was the first time he saw it in person.
After hearing this explanation, Qin Xiaoxia was stunned.
"What are we going to do? There's no way we can solve this between the two of us, right?"
Doudou, who has always been timid, suddenly thought of something.
"But the most difficult thing about the evil swamp is to find its source. Usually it is hidden in the huge swamp, or simply merged with the entire swamp, but the Loach River..."
Qin Xiaoxia also reacted and immediately added a sentence.
"Obviously not a swamp!"
Far from being a swamp, the Wanmi River is a flowing river with living water.
Although it is getting worse due to the influence of the Swamp, it is still far from turning into a swamp.
Moreover, this river is just a small river, and its widest point is only about thirty meters. Compared with the huge swamp that Doudou mentioned, it is already a very narrow space.
"Although that mass looks quite large, it is actually very small compared to what is rumored. It must be a newly formed nightmare swamp."
Doudou added another sentence.
Then the two of them were very excited for a while, but soon became depressed.
"What excitement? Even if it's just a newly formed and not very strong nightmare swamp, we can't handle it with just the two of us!"
Although I didn't want to be a hero, I couldn't help feeling powerless because I knew my weaknesses but was helpless.
At this moment, the TV in the living room was still on and the news was still being broadcast.
"Next is the news about the Qingzhen River regulation. I just received news that the Kehua District Environmental Protection Department and Ninghua Kuncheng Cleaning Company have decided to fully launch a section-by-section pumping and dredging project for the Qingzhen River. It is reported that the section-by-section blocking work of the river has been carried out ahead of schedule..."
Upon hearing the news, Qin Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.
Pumping and dredging projects? If the swamp can be confined to a certain section, can something be done after the water is pumped out?
Although his legs still felt a little weak, Qin Xiaoxia was eager to check out the situation.
When we pulled Doudou to a farther part of the river, we could already see work boats setting up a temporary dam.
Tomorrow this section of the river will be completely cut off from front to back, and then water pumps will be used to drain out all the sewage in the middle.
Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to approach the river bank. As for him, he was still a little worried about the workers on the operation.
But he resisted the urge to go up and remind them.
Firstly, pumping the river is currently the only hope to deal with the Evil Swamp; secondly, people will not stop just because of a word from you. If you dare to go up and tell them there is a monster in the water, you will definitely be treated as a patient.
“Huh!”
Qin Xiaoxia, who was enduring the stench, suddenly felt something and was surprised.
He seemed to be able to sense the location of the Swamp of Evil.
"Could it be because of the wishing spell?"
But Doudou did not give the same response and still looked at the river with a fearful look on his face.
Perhaps due to the rumbling mechanical sounds of the operating ships upstream and downstream of the river, the location of the Evil Swamp is in the center of the diversion section and does not approach the two sides.
