Wang Xu turned around and saw that he was a policeman.
"Well... look at the scenery..."
"At this time? By the river?" The police uncle looked at Wang Xu very suspiciously: "Can I see your ID?"
No need to think about it, Wang Xu knew that it was the conspicuous green kerosene lamp in his hand that summoned this man. He reluctantly took out his ID and handed it to the policeman, who observed him carefully under the light.
After a while, the police officer returned the certificate to Wang Xu: "Thank you for your cooperation, sir. No matter what you are doing, I suggest you stay away from this river. The light here is not good, and there have been several drowning incidents recently.
Already."
Wang Xu thought to himself: Isn’t that why I came here?
"Okay, I will leave soon." Wang Xu replied.
The policeman adjusted the brim of his hat, waved to Wang Xu, and then left. Wang Xu watched his back getting further and further away, until the light of the kerosene lamp was too weak to be seen, and then he let out a long sigh.
.
Unexpectedly, just three seconds after he relaxed, the policeman's voice came from behind again: "Hey! Sir! Why are you there!"
Wang Xu turned around with a puzzled expression on his face: "Hey...didn't you just go from that direction..." He pointed behind him as he spoke.
The policeman interrupted Wang Xu with a slightly annoyed tone: "What are you talking about? I have been away from you for at least fifteen minutes. By the way, how did you get in front of me?"
Wang Xu looked at the direction he left just now and murmured in a low voice: "He walked along the river embankment in that direction for fifteen minutes, and then appeared from the other side of me... and it only took a few seconds for me to pass here.
Time, this time and space chaos, could it be a ghost realm..."
The policeman could not understand Chinese and continued to ask: "Sir, what are you doing here? Do you want me to take you away?"
A sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Wang Xu's mouth: "You look very similar, but it's a pity that you can't deceive me."
"What are you talking about?"
"You acted like the policeman and deliberately came over and said these words. You wanted me to feel weird and scared and then go with you."
"Are you crazy?"
"Hmph... If I turn back and run along the river now, I can catch up with the policeman just now, and you don't have to act anymore."
The "policeman" didn't say anything more. He suddenly turned around and ran away. Wang Xu's reaction and speed were no longer comparable to ordinary people. He chased him easily, blocked him in front of him, held his shoulder with one hand and said, "No matter what."
Who are you? Let’s capture you without mercy.”
But something unexpected by Wang Xu happened very quickly. He felt a wet feeling on his hand, and then the policeman easily broke away from Wang Xu's grasp like a loach and jumped straight into the river.
Wang Xu tracked his spiritual consciousness and found that the opponent moved extremely fast after entering the river. This was by no means a speed that human beings could swim at. However, he was not in a hurry and jumped into the river after reciting a few mantras silently.
The green kerosene lamp was still in Wang Xu's hand, and it was not extinguished even at the bottom of the river. The water-dividing spell Wang Xu had newly learned was obviously very effective.
The light he brought was really cumbersome. It had no effect other than attracting the police, and he couldn't throw it on the shore. Otherwise, if the policeman came back from patrol again, he might call several boats to salvage Wang Xu's body...
…
In about five minutes, the escaping spirit stopped and turned to a higher place. It took Wang Xu three times as long to get there. After all, Wang Xu didn't know how to do anything other than the dog paddle.
If he didn't use the Water Dividing Charm and the Breath-holding Charm at the same time, he might have drowned if he fell into the swimming pool.
Wang Xu found a sewer outlet at the bottom of the river, where the "policeman" turned. He ignored the dirt and swam in. The pipe was quite narrow at first until he swam more than 20 meters.
Afterwards it became a little wider. Wang Xu could feel that this was an upward sloping road. He continued to swim and found that the water was getting less and less. A little further forward, Wang Xu could already stand and walk.
The water level reached from his chest to his waist, and finally only reached around his knees. Wang Xu lifted the spell, raised the lamp and began to observe the surrounding environment. The sewers were naturally very dirty, and the filth under his feet gave off a pungent stench and was turbid.
There are food scraps, household garbage, and many other things floating on the water that make people sick just thinking about it.
Wang Xu was getting closer and closer to the spiritual consciousness, and he could feel that the other party was at the corner in front. Since the green light on his hand had already revealed his position, Wang Xu walked directly over, keeping an eye on the other party at all times.
Possible attack.
After turning the corner, when the "Uncle Policeman" from before came into Wang Xu's sight again, he was extremely surprised, because what he saw in front of him was no longer a person, but something that could only appear in fairy tales -
—Mermaid.
She was huddled in a corner, holding something in her hands and stuffing it into her mouth. The appearance of this mermaid was really far from the image in the minds of the masses.
The burgundy hair has now become dirty and brown, hanging down messily like a clump of seaweed. It is long enough to reach her waist, completely covering her face and upper body. The skin on her exposed shoulders has become dirty and black.
You can still vaguely see the many pus-oozing sores growing in the mud-like skin.
The fish tail on the lower body is even more terrible. All the scales are a dull black gray, and many of them are turned up, exposing the flesh and blood inside. For fish, turning up a scale is like turning up a fingernail for a human.
With such pain, the mermaid in front of Wang Xu was undoubtedly suffering unimaginable pain.
Wang Xu got closer step by step, and he saw clearly that the thing the other party was chewing was a piece of moldy bread. The mermaid also raised her head and looked at Wang Xu. It was a miserable face, with all the features distorted by sores.
.
She was crying, and the voice coming from her throat was as rough and hoarse as a man's: "I... I'm just hungry... Please... don't kill me... Please..."
Wang Xu didn't know if this was a trick by the other party. He glanced to the side twice more and saw human bones, a pile of skeletons that had been chewed down to only the ribs.
"It seems that there is a feast of human flesh on your menu..." Wang Xu said coldly.
She covered her face with her hands and cried heartbrokenly. It looked like she was in so much pain that she could hardly speak.
Wang Xu's black flame dagger appeared on his right hand. With just a slight wave, his mission tonight was completed. But he hesitated. Another person appeared in front of him. It was a person whose arms had been chopped off.
The werewolf who went, He Jiamu.
In the face of a cruel fate, if you choose to survive, you will pay a painful and high price...
"Perhaps death is the only way to escape for you." Wang Xu said this and raised his sword...
