Hearing the footsteps behind him, Yu Sheng looked back and subconsciously took a step back to hide beside his aunt.
Three water ghosts dressed in white floated in, all wet.
Their hair was tangled with algae, their exposed faces were swollen and pale, and their eyes were bulging like fish eyes.
"Master Shan is not afraid, so are you still afraid of them?" Aunt Qing turned around and asked Yu Sheng who grabbed her arm after seeing the footprints.
Yu Sheng, who was hiding, was startled, "Yes, what am I afraid of them for?"
The rest of his life was inexplicable. After he got over it, he sat on a stool and looked at the three water ghosts, "Are you looking for me?"
"Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng?" The leading female ghost looked at Yu Sheng with dead fish eyes.
I have tried my best for the rest of my life, but I still can't help but agree: "Yes."
When he agreed, he tilted his body and almost fell to the ground.
It was strange, now that he was not in the water, the water ghost still reacted when he called his name.
Yu Sheng looked at the three ghosts warily, "What did you do to me?"
The three water ghosts were confused, and the leader said: "Maybe you are used to it?"
Habit? Yu Sheng looked at his body in confusion, wondering where the habit he heard the water ghost call came from.
"Ahem," Aunt Qing coughed dryly, "What will you three do for the rest of your lives?"
As if he was afraid of Aunt Qing, the leader of the water ghost shrank and said, "I, we have something important to tell you."
"What's important?" Yu Sheng asked.
"It's about that group of witches." The water ghost said nothing and stopped talking. He just looked at the snacks on the counter and drooled.
Wu Zhu? Yu Sheng was interested. Seeing that the three ghosts were silent, he waved his hands helplessly, "You guys need to get water from the well to wash yourself first, and then come and eat."
"You don't have to be polite to us. We soaked in the water all day and washed very clean." Sanshui Gui couldn't wait.
"Who are you being polite to? I smell like dead fish." Yu Sheng said with disgust.
"Really? We don't eat fish either." The three water ghosts sniffed each other.
This word was also used brilliantly, which made Yu Sheng feel that these three water ghosts had something to do with him.
This guess was made when he first fell into the water in the lake.
Others would be dragged down by the water ghosts if they were shouted at by the water ghosts. However, when he was shouted at by the three water ghosts and fell into the water, someone actually supported him under his feet.
"How do you know that the inn doesn't cook fish, and you still know my name?" Yu Sheng asked.
He leaned his head over, trying to appear condescending, but was forced back by the fishy smell.
"It sure smells good." The three water ghosts found a reason not to answer and rushed outside to the edge of the well.
"They seem to know the inn very well." Yu Sheng turned around and said to Aunt Qing.
"Oh, really?" Aunt Qing pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.
Whether the relationship between mother and son can be maintained for the rest of their lives, Aunt Qing feels it is better to keep it secret.
The three water ghosts transformed into entities under the moonlight. They filled the well with water and poured it on their heads. They did not come in until they smelled no more.
The soaked clothes clung to their bodies. Although the three water ghosts had unattractive figures, in order to avoid suspicion, they still focused on Aunt Qing for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps because she was afraid that she would ask the question just now for the rest of her life, the leading female ghost took the lead and said: "Last night, the group of witches dropped a large number of water ghosts into the lake."
Dropping a large number of water ghosts? Yu Sheng frowned slightly, "How many are there?"
Seeing that they had successfully changed the topic, the three female ghosts ate and stuffed themselves without even bothering to answer the rest of their lives' questions.
It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten delicacies from the human world, and now I taste them, which really makes me nostalgic.
Seeing that they didn't answer, Yu Sheng took a plate of green vegetables away and said, "If you don't tell me, don't even think about eating it."
"Fire three, you're new." The leader's mouth was stuffed with something, and he vaguely patted the water ghost next to him.
The third child raised his head and counted on his fingers, "One, two, three..."
Yu Sheng frowned. It was nothing to use a calculating water ghost. In such a large witch academy, it was easy to control a few water ghosts.
"More than four hundred in total." The third child put down his finger.
"Pfft", Yu Sheng, who had just drank a glass of wine, vomited it out. The one who dared to count was not one, but hundreds.
These four hundred are not a handful. Jian Nang Town has become prosperous under the protection of the city lord Jian Nang, and there are only less than four hundred people there.
In the wilderness, monsters and beasts are causing chaos and ghosts are rampant. The town of four hundred people is already considered a big one, but these witches actually brought over four hundred water ghosts.
Even if you make dumplings, you won't be able to get so many.
Aunt Qing was also shocked. She put down her wine glass and asked, "What are the origins of these water ghosts?"
The three water ghosts stopped talking again.
After Yu Sheng took away the vegetables and threatened them, the leader of the water ghosts said: "I don't know, they can't speak yet."
"The water ghost cannot be said to be a new ghost." Aunt Qing muttered. She raised her head and asked, "Is there any news from the city?"
Yu Sheng shook his head and looked at Aunt Qing frowning in thought, feeling that the way she was thinking was quite interesting.
There is no news from the city lord's palace. The origin of these water ghosts is unknown. They are definitely not from the town, but can only come from a city with a lot of people.
But hundreds of people are not a small number. If they are not known, then there is only...
Aunt Qing was thoughtful and saw Yu Sheng staring at her, "Why are you looking at me all the time?"
Yu Sheng said plausibly, "Feng'er is ugly and the three water ghosts are disheveled. I can only look at you."
Feng'er got angry and kicked Yu Sheng. Even the ugliest person has the nerve to attack others with his own shortcomings.
Yu Sheng avoided it, and Feng'er's kick landed on a water ghost, causing the water ghost to stop eating.
The water ghost paused for a moment and suddenly said: "I remember, these water ghosts are all old and weak, there are no young or strong men or women."
Yu Sheng was surprised, "Boy, you've been soaked in water for a long time, and your brain has turned upside down?"
"You are the second child, and I am the fourth child." said the water ghost.
"We don't have a second child." said the leader of the water ghosts.
"Why?"
"What do you think?" They looked down at Yu Sheng.
A group of female hooligans spend the rest of their lives hiding behind Aunt Qing to preserve their chastity.
"They are all old and weak, and no one pays attention to them. The only one is Xunweizhai." Aunt Qing affirmed.
"Xunweizhai, what is he doing raising so many old and weak people?" Yu Sheng was puzzled.
"It's not raising it, it's just throwing it into your hands."
"Smash it in your hand? Oh~" Yu Sheng understood that they were slaves, and then said in shock: "You mean these water ghosts were created?"
It is difficult for water ghosts to reincarnate except looking for a replacement.
This group of witches created a new batch of water ghosts, which not only made the lake dangerous, but also made it difficult for many souls to reincarnate.
"Hey, these people are too cruel." Yu Sheng was shocked by the unscrupulous methods used by this group of witches to find the mirror.
"Pa", Yu Sheng slapped the table and said indignantly: "I'm going to take down these witches now."
When he stood up and saw it was pitch dark outside, his aunt didn't stop him. Yu Sheng shamelessly sat down and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the city to gather people."
Only then did Aunt Qing speak, "Okay, don't make any more trouble. You can't handle this matter, so you have to let the city lord handle it."
Isn’t this looking down on me, Yu Sheng? Yu Sheng refused, “Water ghosts are the business of my Ghost Suppression Department, how can I stand by and watch?”
He then suggested, "Why don't I accompany the city lord..."
Before he could say "handle the case", he was slapped on the back of the head, "I didn't say anything." Yu Sheng felt aggrieved.
"No need to talk about what happened after we got together." Aunt Qing said.
"Anyway, I'm in charge." Yu Sheng said.
I must spend the rest of my life to capture these murderous demons and let them taste the iron fist of justice for themselves.
Moreover, if the culprit is investigated and the water ghost is brought to justice, the system will most likely reward him with a large amount of merit points. After all, hundreds of lives have been lost.
