Li Leping and Liu San, the leaders of Dachuan City and DQ City decided to join forces to investigate the situation under the river in front of them.
"You can't see people alive, but you can't see corpses after death..."
After listening to Chen Zhong's introduction, Li Leping roughly understood the cause of the incident.
At this moment, Li Leping looked at Liu San: "Do you think they were attacked by the evil ghost under the water?"
"I'm just saying it's possible. You have to go down there in person to know what's going on under the water," Liu Sandao said.
"Detective Li, do you need to prepare diving equipment for you?" At this time, Chen Zhong said from the side.
If you plan to go into the water, you must be properly dressed.
Moreover, it is winter, and if you enter the water carelessly, your health may easily suffer.
"It's not necessary at the moment. It's just the investigation stage now. I won't go too deep into it," Li Leping said.
Although he is not very good at swimming, he can still float up after diving.
Then, he looked at Liu San and the paper figures surrounding them: "You paper figures should be waterproof."
"Don't worry, you won't sink." Liu San looked very confident.
now.
The two stood on the shore, and Li Leping looked at the calm river surface, but they both knew that the water was extremely dangerous.
Even in the daytime, the surface of the river seems clear, but underneath it is darkness, and no one knows what is in the depths.
The only way is to go down and investigate on your own.
"Please go first." Li Leping looked at Liu San and said humbly.
Liu San didn't refuse either.
But before entering the water, all his paper figures came over and surrounded him, as if to protect his central core.
Immediately afterwards, all the paper figures moved at the same time and walked towards the river.
Soon, the paper figure at the front seemed to be walking on the road and entered the water.
The current quickly submerged the paper man's existence.
Without stopping, at this moment, Liu San, who was in the center, also walked in, and the paper man behind him showed no intention of flinching, and just followed him all the way to the end.
Li Leping was not in a hurry to leave, but planned to wait for more than ten seconds to see if Liu San would send back any news.
"Um?"
However, after Liu San entered the water, there was no more movement.
Even the paper figure under his hand was completely missing, as if it had been submerged in water, and no news came out.
"Detective Li, this..."
Looking at Liu San who seemed to be swallowed by the river, Chen Zhong said in great surprise.
Liu San and his dozens of paper figures just disappeared into the water.
No news.
"I'm afraid this river surface is not real." Li Leping frowned.
"It's not true?" Chen Zhong said a little confused.
"I'm going down now. You stay away from this area. I'm afraid it's not a matter of one or two ghosts involved here."
Li Leping did not explain anything, but issued orders one after another: "Expand the blockade area and clear the area along this river for at least ten miles. No ships are allowed to approach, and no one is allowed to enter the water.
"
"Yes." Chen Zhong said.
Li Leping didn't say anything more, but walked towards the cold river.
Liu San is definitely not that easy to fall into trouble. Those dozens of paper figures, plus his true self, will not be submerged by the river and completely lost.
"There is something wrong with the river."
"A dozen or twenty paper figures went in together, and Liu San probably noticed it too."
While thinking about it, Li Leping walked over.
Soon, the river water submerged his feet, then his knees, and then reached his abdomen.
The river flow is calm, but the water temperature in winter is extremely cold.
Fortunately, Li Leping's body temperature is also very cold, and the body of the ghost controller will not be affected by such ambient temperature.
At this moment, he was like a man who couldn't think about anything, silently walking towards the calm river...
And after the river water completely submerged the top of his head.
Suddenly.
Li Leping also disappeared in this stretch of river.
The surrounding environment is changing.
The water flow seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation and began to rise.
But this is impossible, because Li Leping is standing not far from the shore, and even if the sea tide rises, it will not rise this high.
now.
"Gulu, Gulu."
Li Leping was in the water and breathed out a little.
The water flow returned to calm, but his position changed.
It was dark all around, but there was some light coming from above.
With a little observation, you can find that the position you are in now is no longer the position you were in when you first entered the water.
The moment he entered the water, his position changed suddenly.
Now, he was actually standing under the water.
The mud under your feet seems to have been softened by water, and it is easy to sink in if you step on it.
Try to use Ghost Zone to leave.
However, this strange water flow seemed to carry a terrifying supernatural power. As soon as the ghost smoke appeared in the water flow, it seemed to be washed away by the water flow.
"Huh?" Li Leping couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The expansion of the ghost realm is restricted.
"There is indeed a problem with this water."
When I looked up, I could still see some light. It seemed like it was still daytime outside, but there wasn't much sunlight.
Suddenly.
He saw several dark shadows on the water.
Those few black shadows blocked the sunlight and were like small black dots on the water. They didn't occupy much space, but they attracted special attention.
As Li Leping slowly moved upstream, he could clearly see what those dark shadows were.
They were several dead people whose bodies had become ossified.
Those people were wearing ordinary long-sleeved swimming suits. Their bodies had been soaked and turned white, but they were not swollen yet.
The expressions on their faces were full of fear, as if they died suddenly.
But this is actually not surprising. It is impossible for a living person to stay under such water temperature for a long time.
In winter, if you want to swim up from the bottom of the water, the low temperature of the water and the suddenness of the incident mean that you don't have time to take a deep breath in advance.
Various shortcomings have led to such a tragedy.
"Are they those ordinary people swimming in winter?"
Li Leping tried to go upstream and found that it could be done.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While floating, think at the same time.
He remembered clearly that the reason why this incident was discovered was because the first few winter swimmers never surfaced again after submerging in the water.
Now, looking at the corpses floating in the water in front of him, Li Leping knew that they had surfaced, but whether they could reach the shore or not, he had to leave it to fate.
Ignoring these dead people, he soon surfaced.
"Hey, we finally came up."
As soon as I poked my head out, I saw that the shore was filled with paper figures that looked like Liu San.
They gathered together, some with their backs to Li Leping, and some with their faces facing Li Leping.
One of the paper figures facing the water saw Li Leping. Although this paper figure could no longer remember what Li Leping looked like, in this place, besides Li Leping, there would be a third person coming soon after.
This?
He waved towards Li Leping, his paper arm swaying in an indescribably weird way.
Li Leping also moved quickly and swam to the shore.
At this time, a paper man turned around with his back to Li Leping. This paper man was also the only one with a back among all the paper men present.
The craftsmanship of other paper figures is not as sophisticated as this paper figure. The backs of other paper figures are hollow, and you can see a few wooden blocks as skeletons, just like human joints.
Liu San looked at Li Leping, who was covered in water stains and even his hair was disheveled, and wondered: "Don't you have a ghost realm? Why don't you use it?"
Li Leping simply explained: "There is something wrong with the water, which will restrict the use of my ghost realm."
After speaking, he looked around at the situation around him.
At some point, the location of the two of them was changed.
The modern buildings have disappeared, and even the water surface in front of us is not as wide as the river surface before. It seems to have shrunk a lot, as if it has changed from a river surface to a river surface.
However, everyone knows that the river that suddenly brought them here must be supernatural.
"Is it another place that connects reality and the supernatural?"
Li Leping, who has experienced ghost photo studios, is no longer surprised by this situation.
He looked back at the calm water and the dead bodies floating on the water.
The end of the water is still water, as if the endless water is like the sea, trapping the two of them on this "isolated island".
Then, he looked at Liu San and the lush vegetation behind Liu San.
This is no longer the modern area the two were in when they entered the water. At this moment, the two seem to have been forced into a mountainous area. The surroundings are covered with shrubs and weeds, and even the trees are lush green and tall.
Looking up, although it seems to be daytime now, there is a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky, as if it is a cloudy day, full of gloom and death, where the sunlight is covered, or there is no sunlight at all.
, there is only a cold breath around him.
Fortunately, although it looks cloudy now, the surrounding environment is not too dark, it just feels like it's going to rain.
The surroundings were silent, with no birds chirping in the mountains. It was as if everything had stopped at this moment, the trees would not sway with the wind, and the water would not flow endlessly.
"I thought I was just catching a ghost, but I didn't expect that I was brought to this ghost place." Liu San did not panic, but calmly analyzed, "In reality, the section of the Lingjiang River is the entrance, and the destination is here."
"The entrance is no longer important. Now we have to consider the issue of exit," Li Leping said.
"It's not just about exports."
As he said that, Liu San directed the paper figures behind him to disperse, while warning: "There is a ghost here."
As the paper figures gathered on the shore dispersed.
A dead man wearing a diving suit with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen some horrific scene, was lying on the ground like this.
"This should be the diver responsible for underwater rescue, but..."
Liu San spread his hands and did not continue.
Li Leping had no scruples, he was used to seeing dead people.
At this moment, I walked over and took a closer look at the dead diver.
The diving suit on this man's body had been cut open by Liu San, and on the exposed body, there was an obvious ring-shaped bruise on the outside of the chest. Judging from the strength, it even depressed the bones of the chest cavity.
"Strangled."
Half-crouching down and taking a quick glance, Li Leping knew how this man was killed.
He was strangled to death, and he was held and strangled to death.
"It's very powerful. It's impossible for a normal person to hold a person alive and strangle him to death." Liu San added.
Normal people don't have such strength, but ghosts do.
Li Leping didn't speak, and looked silently not far away.
The situation here has not exceeded their expectations. After all, supernatural events can happen at any time.
The unknown is often the scariest thing.
And in sight.
It was a path that appeared between shrubs and trees.
A winding dirt road, without any careful paving, is like a road that did not exist originally, but appeared after being walked too many times.
The trees on both sides of the road were densely packed, like a row of airtight walls, extending straight all the way across. As a result, Li Leping and Liu San did not know where the end of the road led.
"Let's go?" Liu San asked at this time.
He would never act heroic at a time like this.
His teammate is Li Leping, who solved the S-class incident, so he naturally doesn't need to make any decisions.
As long as it's not completely contrary to your own opinions, you can do whatever you want.
Li Leping did not answer in a hurry, but took a look at the road between the trees, and then looked at the shore.
"The shore may also be a road. After all, if you circle around this shore, who knows what you may encounter."
After Li Leping finished speaking, he looked at the dirt road again: "But look, there are shoe prints on this road, and they are very obvious fin prints."
"Those divers who survived took this path." Liu San has rich experience and can get it right.
Looking at the messy shoe prints, it was obvious that those divers who were well-equipped and able to swim ashore alive seemed to have encountered something here and escaped in such a hurry.
"But this does not mean that this road is open. After all, we don't know the current situation of those divers." Li Leping said.
"It's simple." Liu San didn't care at all.
He looked at the many paper figures behind him, and those paper figures also looked at him, as if waiting for orders to be issued.
"You decide a direction, and then we will take that road. As for the remaining road, I will just send two paper figures to explore the road." Liu Sandao.
"Then why don't you send paper men to explore the way first?" Li Leping said.
"It's okay, but I don't want to stay where I am. After all, if you stay in this damn place for a long time, no one knows if you will encounter any changes."
Liu San's suggestion makes sense, and only he, a ghost controller who controls a paper man, can use such a magical method to explore the path.
If two roads are explored together, even if one of them is a dead end, the other road can still be explored to some extent and some information can be found.
"What about those paper figures you sent to explore the road before?" Li Leping asked.
"I don't know." Liu San shook his head.
"But I estimate that they must have been destroyed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sense them."
"Okay then, you send..."
Just when Li Leping made his decision.
Suddenly.
The two people's eyes suddenly condensed and they looked at one place.
That's where the shore is.
"Woo, woo."
In the silence all around, cries suddenly came from one after another.
The crying sound became clearer and clearer from far away.
