It was a sudden throbbing. After watching the old fisherman swallowed by the river, Yu Xing felt a strange feeling in his heart.
There seemed to be something in the river that was attracting him, calling to him. The rolling darkness in the river was like his hotbed, making him... want to go in, close his eyes and lie down.
He suddenly felt very tired and full of disgust for this place. It seemed that only walking into the river could stop the feeling of powerlessness rising in his heart. Even though there was a trace of resentment in the river, staring at him like a substance, but in
The resentment seemed so insignificant in the urge to enter the river that came from all over the world.
The expression on his face gradually changed from fear and vigilance to relaxation. Yu Xing seemed to hear someone's stern voice in his ears, but he couldn't hear it clearly because the sound of the flowing river was too loud. In the end, only the sound left in his ears
The sound of crashing waves makes people want to sleep.
The steps began to move forward slowly and unconsciously.
The air was so cold that it made one's breath sticky. Yu Xing opened his mouth slightly to relieve the breathing pressure, like a small boat, eager to step into the turbulent river.
…
"Lucky!" Zhao Yijiu yelled at the surprised look of the girl in the white dress opposite him, but his voice could not reach Yu Xing's ears. He could only watch Yu Xing walk into the water step by step, as if he had lost his soul.
The person standing in front of him was the old man fishing. After Yu Xing said a few words to the old man, he suddenly became quiet. He stood there for a while as if possessed by a demon, and then staggered towards the river with the figure of a slim woman.
Zhao Yijiu immediately tried to stop him when he walked inside, but the old fishing man stood up and stood in front of him with his fishing rod.
"It's not your turn yet..." The old man's strange tone made Zhao Yijiu lose the strength in his legs. He could only stand there and watch all this coldly.
"It's not your turn...there's no one behind you."
The old man followed, but his rickety figure was like a big mountain. As long as he stood here, the people staying on the shore had no other choice.
Zhao Yijiu glanced past him, looking at the back of the fashionably dressed woman in front... and then twitching his lips.
The back figure had already reached the edge of the river, and then, as if unable to resist at all, he decisively stepped into the river.
The moment he touched the river, the impact of the water knocked Yu Xing's body sideways and he fell straight into the water.
A whirlpool began to stir in the water, and in that large black area, strands of wet hair snaked out, seemingly entangled in Yu Xing's falling body, preventing it from rising to the surface.
The people on the shore looked a little solemn, because although they guessed that the attack method of the water ghost was nothing more than hallucinations and bodies in the water, they did not expect that the water ghost was so strong that it could make an outsider show no sign of resistance.
The chef frowned fiercely, becoming deeply afraid of the water ghost, and quickly began to think about what to do.
Yun Si was really surprised now. He stood up from his pony and stared at the turbulent water.
As someone who had heard of the future name of Po Jing Team, he was very confident that Yu Xing would not die here. After all, he was the captain of Po Jing. How could he not have such a little bit of strength?
But looking at it now, he couldn't imagine how a human being whose abilities and sacrifices were being recycled by the system could survive in this chaotic river... Was it to break through the restrictions in the water and surface at the last moment of drowning?
Or... Yu Xing can survive this time and needs his help? After all, he is standing here. If his help is also an inevitable process for Po Jing to develop according to its trajectory and establish a friendly relationship with their team, it seems that
It also makes sense.
Moreover, according to what Yu Fengchen said, when he was in the tomb palace, he first planned to give Yu Xing a black doll on the grounds of "reciprocating the gift", but Yu Xing refused. Logically speaking, Yu Fengchen's behavior was already considered upside down.
Cause and effect, changed the future.
If the future can be changed, why can't Yu Xing drown here?
Yun Si hesitated for a moment and took two steps on the shore, swaying his skirt from side to side.
He is in a unique position. The cold wine is blocked by the old man, but there is no NPC on his side that can stop him. Otherwise, should he jump down to save people? But his water nature...may not support him in saving people in the water ghost's home field.
Come down.
Yun Si felt confused. He suddenly thought of something and squinted his eyes to look at Zhao Yijiao's face.
He would often smile or be lazy. Only when he squinted his eyes would he suddenly transform into a large carnivore ready to attack, full of pressure and danger.
His eyesight was very good, and he was able to capture Zhao Yijiao's true expression under the dark sky.
Between his pursed lips and furrowed brows, Zhao Yijiao's eyes were calm.
Except for the initial shouting, his mood became very calm after being stopped by the old fisherman, and did not change after seeing Yu Xing enter the river.
Yun Si had an idea in his mind, suppressed his curiosity and surprise, turned his attention to the rolling river again, and decided to continue watching.
Yu Xing must have done it on purpose, Yun Si thought, this person must be sure of surviving, but he didn't know why he chose such a risky response when he could clearly lure the water ghost up and solve it.
Are you... fishing?
Yun Si's peripheral vision glanced at the chef and his companions, and he made a calculation.
They were fishing, the old man was fishing for water ghosts, and Yu Xing was fishing for enemies.
Yep, it made him struggle for a long time. As expected, those who can chat with Ning Feng and Yu Fengchen are not good people. Bah.
Zhao Yijiu was indeed calm, and even wanted to sneer when he saw the two girls in school uniforms with solemn faces and whispering.
The water surface was turbulent, and it looked like Yu Xing had been drowned by the water ghost... In fact, maybe it was Yu Xing who was strangling the water ghost.
He followed Yu Xing's hint, shouted and shouted, and adopted the anxious attitude that a teammate should have. It should be nothing to do with him, right?
Now just wait and see what happens next...
"Peng!"
The water suddenly rose, and no one could see clearly what was happening in the river. They could only guess that after Yu Xing entered the river, he finally broke away from the illusion and began to struggle.
"It seems that we don't need to do anything." The chef still laughed twice. "I overestimated him. It seems that he belongs to the intellectual group. Apart from the power given by the system, his own willpower is not strong... It's okay, it saves me."
Before he finished speaking, a pale hand suddenly stretched out of the river, with veins emerging, and clung to a protruding rock by the river!
He was startled. Not to mention anything else, the hand holding the mud in the river was already like a frightening scene in a horror movie. If they were not the ones who saw this scene, but ordinary passers-by, they would have seen it on the spot.
The frightened ghosts cried and howled, and the next day the rumor of ghost hands in the river could be heard throughout the neighborhood.
Then, after one hand clung to the river bank, the other hand stretched out desperately, followed by the head of a woman with black hair and a muddy face. It was the fashionably dressed woman possessed by Yu Xing, or in other words, it was the woman who was possessed by Yu Xing.
Yu Xing.
Yu Xing was breathing heavily when he surfaced. There was hair that didn't belong to him wrapped around his neck. Those hairs were tightly wrapped around his throat, but he couldn't move to deal with this fatal thing because everyone could see it.
Xing's arm was still wrapped with tight hair, and he was pulling him back!
The river water dropped from the top of Yu Xing's hair. He clung to the bank awkwardly but stubbornly, and then growled in his throat: "Brother Jiu, help me."
He... is now the face of a strange woman, with water droplets on her long eyelashes, her lipstick has been washed away by water, she is pale and gray, but her eyes are scarlet, and there are fine scratches on her face, like a dying animal,
He was using his last strength to whine and roar.
The hair around his neck was tightened, and his voice disappeared into the air. He only bit his lip until it drew blood. There was a desperate hope in his eyes, as if he was really begging Zhao Yiju to save him.
Zhao Yijiu moved his fingers, feeling that the expression on the face of the woman emerging from the river was not worthy of Yu Xing.
He had seen Yu Xing pretending to be weak, anxious, nervous, and fearful all appearing on that face that was too superior for human beings, but every time it was this person who acted the best, and never when he showed these expressions,
There are ghosts that are really causing trouble in him.
He never thought that Yu Xing's acting skills and the cooperation of ghosts could have such a real effect. If he hadn't known that this would never be the reaction Yu Xing would have, he would have believed it.
Maybe it was because Yu Xing was too proficient in acting, so he looked so embarrassed in the water... Zhao Yijiu didn't want to see it, especially when Yu Xing was standing in the face of a strange woman, looking indescribably weird.
Zhao Yijiu took a step forward, but was immediately stopped by the old fishing man. The old man seemed to have spotted him, and didn't care about anyone else. He only stared at him and said: "It's not your turn yet..."
Zhao Yijiu felt a little irritated, and he started to move harder to show off his intentions, pushing towards the old man's chest, but he didn't move at all.
Like an unshakable mountain.
Yu Xing floated up a little more, and barely used a hand to open a gap in the hair wrapped around his neck. He shouted: "I got the heart of the water ghost. As long as I go ashore, this painting will be over."
!”
Zhao Yijiu didn't have time to pull him away. This sentence was obviously more effective on the other two people.
"We can't let him come up. This is a quota for experiencers, and none of them can be given to deducers!" The chef said harshly, and before his companions could react, he strode towards the shore.
The old fishing man finally noticed him, moved away from the body standing in front of Zhao Yijiu, and limped to catch up with the chef step by step. However, although the old man could not shake him, he still had his own weakness, that is, his slow speed.
He had no time to stop the chef, but still said with unchanged emotion: "It's not your turn yet... go back..."
How could the chef miss this opportunity? He quickly came to Yu Xing and saw that Yu Xing lowered his head, leaned forward, and stopped trying to crawl out all the time.
The woman's long hair covered "her" face. Just now she could barely see her face when she raised her head, but now there was only a dark shadow that couldn't be seen clearly in the dark night.
"The heart of a water ghost?" The chef squatted down and looked at Yu Xing condescendingly. He had already calculated that with Yu Xing's posture, it would be impossible to use force to pull him into the water.
"What are you going to do?" Yu Xing's voice became unusually loud due to the restraint in his throat.
force.
"Although we are from different systems, there is no blood feud. All I want is that the quota does not fall on one of your deducers. How about making a deal. Give me your heart and I will pull you up." The chef's deep voice sounded to Yu Xing.
In his ears, Yu Xing moved, hesitating.
The manic river water splashed on the shore, and the dirty water droplets splashed out, wetting the chef's trousers, and even a few drops directly splashed on his face. The chef sneered: "You think about it, I don't want to kill you before I propose to marry you."
Make a deal, I know you risked your life to get this heart, but obviously, the strength of the water ghost is beyond your imagination. Your companion is behind that weird old man now. If he wants to save you, the old man can still stop him.
he."
He looked back and saw that the old fisherman was already approaching him. He urged impatiently: "Hurry up, there is not much time left for you to choose. I won't be able to save you until the old man gets to my side."
"I just...believe you once..." Yu Xing's fingers on the shore were trembling. It was obvious that his physical strength had reached the limit. He said, "The heart is in my chest..."
For women, sometimes the clothes on the chest are also a good place to store things. At least the location is very convenient. Yu Xing got a heart in the water and wanted to swim ashore as soon as possible. Stuffing things there is a very reasonable and smart choice.
.
The chef was overjoyed when he heard that. He reached for Yu Xing's collar without hesitation. At this critical moment of life and death, he didn't think Yu Xing would lie to him. After all, considering the distance between the old man and him, there was only one chance. Of course, the chef was here
Shi also has no intention of taking advantage of women. He himself is a female high school student.
He was very cautious when he put his hand into the river, but soon he touched something strange in the gap between Yu Xing's chest. That thing was definitely not skin. The chef curled his lips and grabbed the thing.
Something and retracted his hand.
Yu Xing could hardly hold on to the river bank: "Hurry up and pull me up."
Before he finished speaking, the chef had already stood up with evil intentions.
"I really hope all of you deducers are as naive as you." He raised his foot and tried to step down hard. Yu Xing subconsciously retracted his hand, and his whole body was pulled back into the water by the black hair in the water.
The chef's soles made a dull collision sound with the ground. It is conceivable that if Yu Xing did not let go, the foot would firmly step on Yu Xing's hand. Under the severe pain, it would be impossible for his fingers to hold on.
What the chef just wants to kill him!
When the old fisherman saw Yu Xing fall back into the water again, he stopped. The chef laughed in triumph, but I don't know if it was his imagination. The second before he laughed, another sound seemed to come from the water.
chuckle.
Yun Si, who had seen everything, shook his head. Seeing this scene, he still didn't know Yu Xing's plan. His eyes looking at the chef showed neither sadness nor happiness, neither pity nor schadenfreude.
Zhao Yijiu looked at the chef on the shore coldly, blood flashed in his eyes, but was instead firmly suppressed by black.
He thought that Yu was lucky to have given this man a chance.
Two choices, if this person abides by the agreement and pulls Yu Xing, all he will lose is a quota that does not belong to him.
If the agreement is not kept...
Zhao Yijiu blinked, annoyance welling up, making him want to chop everything that hindered him into pieces with a knife just like he did when he was groping for everything in the dark as a child.
He took a deep breath and told himself that it was okay, this person was already dead.
