Chapter 690: Conjecture (one and a half chapters)
The bamboo rafts broke through the river and moved quickly.
The river remained calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
With the short rest just now, Song He's condition improved slightly.
While waving the half-length bamboo pole, he gestured back and forth, as if he wanted to learn how to knock someone unconscious in one fell swoop.
Xi Chi huddled in the corner with a sad face, reaching out to poke the unconscious Su Xi from time to time.
Hu Xiaobei sat at the other end holding Xiao Hua in his arms to prevent the bamboo raft from turning over due to uneven force.
Wang Jinze swayed back and forth on the bamboo raft, muttering something from time to time.
I have to say that Su Xi is a very difficult guy.
Different from Samsara's duplicity, Lu Zhishou is insidious and cunning.
Su Xi's methods are very feminine.
Say hello to the drama idiot in advance and ask him to find an opportunity to get rid of Wang Jin.
He also lied that he had seen something and cooperated with the illusion to let Song River row away.
Once Xi Ji successfully comes to join them, the two of them can use Song He or Xiao Hua as hostages.
Maybe the pollution made her brain confused and acted crazy.
But Su Xi is still very organized in her work.
The most important thing is that what she says is always a mixture of truth and lies.
It is basically impossible to distinguish this kind of lies, so Wang Jin can only try to pick the truth from the lies.
"Deceiving the world...is that what the Riddler meant?"
Wang Jin frowned and looked down into the water from time to time.
He could actually guess what Su Xi was thinking, and he also saw the secret gestures the two of them made.
But he didn't take it too seriously.
On the one hand, it is basically impossible for drama fans to find opportunities within themselves.
On the other hand...Hu Xiaobei doesn't care about the lives of Song He and Xiaohua. The threat never existed from the beginning.
Even so, Wang Jin had no intention of dealing with Su Xi.
So he used the golden flag to deceive the drama addict.
It's not very ethical, but it does work.
In order to get back his things, the drama idiot will no longer think about running away.
Su Xi will basically be in a coma for the second half of the journey.
What Wang Jin needs to deal with now is the strange creature that Su Xi said exists in the "sky".
"You can't go wrong with the Pisces method. There is definitely something underneath."
Song He showed Wang Jin only half of his bamboo pole with a low voice.
He always remembered what happened just now.
Even though his body was riddled with holes, Song He still had a lot of strength.
But those things still broke the bamboo pole and almost dragged Song He down.
The huge strength left people frightened, and Song He still didn't believe it was fake.
"I see."
Wang Jin nodded slowly, his voice low.
He is trying to integrate the clues he has received so far and find ways to extract useful parts from them.
Wow!
Something broke through the water.
"Don't look at them!"
Song He roared low and subconsciously swung the bamboo pole horizontally, but stopped when he heard the iconic "嘤嘤" sound.
He quietly looked at Xiao Hei who had just climbed out of the water.
The latter shook his head, obviously finding nothing.
"嘤嘤嘤."
Xiao Hei shouted while handing over the water plant in his hand.
Slender, jet black, and tough.
It looks like hair, but it's not.
"Little thing...you think I can't tell the difference between water plants and hair?"
Song He's pale face wrinkled into a ball, seeming quite dissatisfied.
This is questioning the professionalism of Paidou.
Xiao Hei was startled and had no choice but to yelp twice and retreat into the shadows.
"ha…"
Wang Jin smiled and told Song He not to pay too much attention.
This is going to take some time to figure out.
Su Xi did use illusion just now to let Song He and Hu Xiaobei see those things.
But how much of that scene was an illusion, and how much was reality.
I don’t know how much of these proportions are “real” and where they are.
"Silly boy."
The fox-eared girl waved and signaled Wang Jin to go over and check the water flag.
Rain falls from the sky and condenses into a mirror.
Through the mirror, you can vaguely see several blurry reflections under the water.
Unfortunately, it's too vague.
The closer you get to Xiaolongmen, the faster the river flows.
Wang Jin could only look at the white and swollen corpses through the water spray.
As if something caught their feet, they stood up under the wash of water.
Other than that, he looked like an ordinary drowned person and had nothing to do with Su Xi's description.
"call…"
Wang Jin took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.
Cast your gaze to the clouds above.
Since Su Xi said it was in the air, then we have to go up there and have a look.
"good."
Before Wang Jin could speak, Hu Xiaobei understood what he meant.
So the snow-white little fox rose into the sky, flying higher and higher, and finally turned into a small dot.
After a long time, she spun down and was caught firmly by Wang Jin.
The fox returned to human form, with a slightly solemn expression.
"The clouds are thick and it keeps raining."
"I couldn't see anything clearly...but I didn't hit anything."
"That's it..."
Wang Jin nodded slowly.
Things get interesting.
Su Xi, who lost her sight, could accurately describe their appearance.
They cannot be seen underwater, but they can twist bamboo poles with their hair.
You can see a rough outline through the rain mirror, but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the scale at Songhekou.
There was nothing in the sky that Su Xi mentioned, only thick cumulonimbus clouds.
The situation is confusing.
Although Wang Jin had a guess in his mind, he had no way to verify it.
He turned his head and turned his attention to the last person who might know the truth.
Xiaohua was holding Wang Jin's backpack, as if it was the only thing that could give her a sense of security.
"Tell me about it."
Wang Jin picked her up and looked directly into those hazy tearful eyes.
By the way, he reached out and wiped Xiaohua's tears.
It's a bit strange to say.
When Song Paitou and Liu Shui died, the little guy didn't seem to cry so hard.
"There must be some reason for crying all the time."
"I agreed to reward you...this."
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Jin took out two shock bombs from his backpack.
Almost instantly, Xiaohua's crying stopped, and her red and swollen eyes became clear again.
"It seems you like it very much."
Wang Jin smiled, took the blast bomb back in his hand, and looked at Xiao Hua.
"I just want to say something, and you just need to give me a reaction."
The young man thought, trying to convert his conjecture into something Xiaohua could understand.
After a moment, Wang Jin slowly spoke.
"Pollution, rainwater, observation, Chenjiaweizi."
Every time Wang Jin said a word, he would carefully watch Xiao Hua's reaction.
After saying four words, Wang Jin handed the explosive bomb in his hand to Xiaohua and patted her head.
Seems quite satisfied.
“…”
Hu Xiaobei stood aside with a frown on his face, his face complex.
On the one hand, she was surprised that Wang Jin gave the detonator bomb to Xiaohua, a child less than ten years old.
It's like rewarding two small cannons.
On the other hand, it was the first time she knew that Wang Jin's way of thinking was so...unconventional.
Pollution, rainwater, observation, Chenjiaweizi.
Except the contamination was her own conjecture.
Even if Hu Xiaobei could understand one of the remaining three words, his expression would not be like this.
"I see."
"Although I can't be sure yet, I can find a way to avoid them."
Wang Jin turned his head and gave a thumbs up.
"Just keep moving forward."
"…ah?"
Song He frowned.
He had no idea what was going on.
But since Wang Jin has said so...
"I won't live long anyway, so I won't think about it anymore."
"What I have to do is take you to your destination."
He shrugged and swung the bamboo pole faster and faster.
"Nothing will happen to the two of us."
Wang Jin reached out and rubbed the girl's head, telling her not to worry.
"Xiaohua may be very scared, but it's okay."
"Drama idiot...you'd better get some sleep."
"okay."
Without any hesitation, Xi Chi plopped down on the bamboo raft, closed his eyes and started counting sheep.
"Song River..."
"…Um?"
Song He was stunned.
When he said it, he suddenly stopped, which was a bit scary.
"Wear a hat and don't get caught in the rain."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Jin gave the answer.
"Don't worry, the hats at the front of the row are all specially made and quite waterproof."
Song He nodded and signaled Wang Jin not to worry.
"Also, I want to ask a question."
The young man touched his chin and spoke slowly.
"You said you must never look at each other. Where did you hear this?"
"My dad."
Song He answered without hesitation.
"He didn't want me hanging around here, so he basically didn't teach me anything about the neighborhood."
"The only thing I can say is..."
"When you encounter a figure you cannot understand, never look at him."
"It's best not to look at it at all."
Song He's voice was low, and he was obviously talking about something that he found quite terrifying.
Wang Jin was not affected at all, but slowly smiled.
