A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 213 The Drowned Lake

After listening to the other party's description of the situation just now, Fang Shiqing was in a bad mood.In this way, was he just taken by a monster—probably the water ghost itself? !

The severity of things like "ghost upper body" can be high or low.Some ghosts just want to use the human body to do something, and they will leave on their own when they are done. In this case, the harm is relatively small; while some come here with the purpose of seizing the body from the beginning, which is a big problem.

Therefore, I really can't blame the other party for overreacting, he himself feels scared.

He pressed the top of his head.Thinking about it now, the water ghost might have attached to him when he hit the coffin board, so the water ghost would disappear immediately afterwards.

"When you are possessed by it, you look the same as usual, and you can communicate and get along with me completely normally." Xiao Fengdi said, "It's just that you become very fond of touching water."

Fang Shiqing has a shadow on the water, even if he temporarily overcomes his fear, he will not take the initiative to touch it.That's why he sensed something was wrong.

"Boss, you..." Fang Shiqing still felt a sweet smell in his throat, "How did you get that water ghost away from me? Where is it now?"

"I don't know. After I fed you the blood essence, 'you' passed out immediately, and you recovered when you woke up again." Xiao Fengdi shook his head and said, "Water ghosts can freely swim in their own waters. Move it, it probably went back into the water, and then you have to be more careful when you touch the water."

"Essence and blood...?" Fang Shiqing finally knew what was going on with the fishy smell in his mouth.

"Well, blood on the tip of the tongue."

The blood at the tip of the tongue is the most concentrated part of Yang Qi, even ordinary people's blood can be used to dispel evil spirits.It's not that Xiao Fengdi doesn't have other methods to get rid of the evil spirits on his upper body, but this method is the safest, and the opponent Shiqing's body damage is the least.

Fang Shiqing saw that the other party's lips were still stained with blood, and couldn't help but feel guilty: biting the tip of his tongue still hurts.

Anyway, now that he had regained his mobility, the two of them could finally investigate the room in front of them.

The house has no windows, only air holes.

An old-fashioned lock was hung on the door, Xiao Fengdi asked for Fang Shiqing's pickaxe, smashed it, and the lock broke immediately.

Pushing open the door, the scene inside can be seen at a glance.Fang Shiqing shone in with a flashlight, and saw that the beams were covered with fluttering white cloths, and he couldn't help being surprised.

This place... turned out to be a mourning hall.

Not far from the gate, there was a dark coffin.At first glance, this coffin is almost exactly the same as the underwater one, except that the texture and decoration on the surface are better.

Behind the coffin is an altar with some tributes and a statue of a woman with blurred eyebrows.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a strange noise.

—From the side of the coffin, there was a thumping sound, which seemed to be the sound of flapping planks.

It's not loud, but it's quite noticeable in a silent room.The weirdest thing is that it seems... It came from inside the coffin.

Could it be that there is also a water ghost hidden in this coffin? !But there's no water around here?

Fang Shiqing looked at Xiao Fengdi habitually, and the latter didn't hesitate much: "Back off a bit."

Then he went straight over and pushed the coffin board.

The coffin lid looked heavy, but he could push it slowly with his strength.

When the lid slid open, Fang Shiqing's heart reached the mouth of his throat, afraid that a large slime would burst out of it the next moment, but fortunately there was no such thing.

The inside just stretched out a hand slowly, grabbed the edge of the coffin, and then...

Gu Jinhong crawled out from inside and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"???"

I didn't expect that the first teammate I found would be him.Fang Shiqing hurried over to help him, "Are you okay?"

"..." He looked very weak, he could barely sit on the coffin board, couldn't speak at all, and could only barely wave his hands.

"Why are you in the coffin?" Fang Shiqing continued to ask while taking out the recovery medicine, "What happened before, how did you trigger the instance?"

There are simply too many questions to ask.

Gu Jinhong didn't take the medicine: "...I'm fine, it's just that I'm a little...let me take it easy."

He said with a wry smile and pointed to the coffin.

Xiao Fengdi pushed the coffin lid back even more, glanced inside, his face sank slightly.

Fang Shiqing took a deep breath: Inside the coffin, lay a mosaic-covered female corpse quietly.

This game will harmonize the too uncomfortable picture a little. It is conceivable that this corpse may have been highly decomposed.

The female corpse was pushed to the other side of the coffin, in a distorted posture.Fang Shiqing looked at Gu Jinhong in horror, and the latter continued to smile wryly: "That's what you think. I was locked in this morning, and I was locked with it... It's been more than twelve hours."

After Gu Jinhong slowed down, he briefly talked about his situation.

Early this morning, when he opened the door of the bar, he found a little girl squatting at the door, looking pitiful.

He was surprised that there were hardly any children around the bar.The little girl clung to his trouser legs. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask where the child's home was, send her back, and then...

At this point, a moment of confusion appeared on his face: "I don't remember what happened after that. By the time I realized it, I was already locked in this coffin."

In order to deal with emergencies, players usually carry flashlights and commonly used medicines with them, and Gu Jinhong is no exception—so as soon as he turned on the flashlight, he was frightened to death by the female corpse close at hand.

He couldn't lift the heavy lid inside the coffin, and he didn't know where he was, so he kept knocking on the coffin boards, hoping that someone outside could hear him.

Fang Shiqing was a little disappointed, was there any clues?But it's a good thing that teammates are safe and sound, and we can't force too much.

"What's the matter with 'don't remember'?" Xiao Fengdi suddenly asked, "Did you lose consciousness during this period, or did this memory itself disappear?"

"I don't know, but I don't remember being knocked out or anything."

There really isn't much else to say after that.Xiao Fengdi briefly searched the inside of the coffin, and found a vertical booklet on the other side of the female corpse's head. The pages of the book seemed to have been soaked in water, crumpled, and the writing on it was illegible.

After a brief glance, he put away the booklet and beckoned the others to leave.

Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment, and tried to remove the statue in front of the altar.

This statue is only about one foot high, and it feels light in the hand, as if it is hollow, and there seems to be something inside.

He tried to break it, but couldn't find a place to open it.After all, it was a special item, and he didn't dare to force it open, so he had to stuff it into the item bar first.

Nothing else was found in the house, and they returned along the original road and exited the gate.

The surface of the lake outside the door was still calm and quiet, with no one around.Xiao Fengdi took out the town records from a hundred years ago, on which there was a topographic map of the surrounding Fengyue Lake at that time.

According to the map, they found a simple wooden bridge not far away—it was said to be a bridge, but it was actually just a few logs on the water.There are two dilapidated small wooden boats beside the bridge, and I don't know if they can be used.

There is a layer of moss growing on the bridge, and it is slippery to walk on.When crossing the bridge, Xiao Fengdi naturally held Fang Shiqing's hand. Fang Shiqing was a little embarrassed, but he didn't break away.

Gu Jinhong cast his gaze into the distance, pretending not to see it, and suddenly said: "What is that?"

——At the other end of the lake, a hazy thing emerged.It has no definite shape, just like a group of shimmering ooze, it gradually expands and elongates, and finally freezes there.

It was staring at us—Fang Shi clearly felt it.

But because the distance was a bit far, he didn't feel any sense of crisis.The two sides stared at each other silently for a moment, then it flashed suddenly, and suddenly appeared in a much closer place.

"?!"

"Don't look, let's go," Xiao Fengdi urged, "The water ghost can move freely in its waters, and it will rush over at any time."

Fang Shiqing hurriedly jumped under the bridge, feeling strange again: "But why doesn't it come over now?"

Xiao Fengdi shook his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

According to the map in his hand, the difference between Fengyue Town at that time and now is not very big, except that the cement road under his feet has become bluestone slabs, and the houses rarely have two floors.

A few people walked along the road for the time being, because they were aimless, so they temporarily went to the central square in the center of the town.

The square also looks much dilapidated, but the bulletin board in one corner is still there.A few people were squatting there, holding flashlights, and when they saw the light here, they immediately jumped up to say hello.

Walking over to see, it was You Qingyu, He Xiangwu, and Gu Jinhong's doll.

Seeing Gu Jinhong, the puppet immediately ran to his side, grabbed his arm and checked it up and down, showing a relieved expression. Gu Jinhong was very surprised: "Are you here...to save me?"

She nodded vigorously.

"Are you all right?" On the other side, You Qingyu grabbed Fang Shiqing, "All of us came across a coffin with a whirlpool going out under the water, and after we passed out in the water, it appeared inexplicably when we woke up It's on the river...it's the river south of your house."

"Okay, where are Zeng Xin and Zhao Jun?"

"I don't know, they weren't with us, and we didn't meet them when we came here." You Qingyu seemed anxious, "Shiqing, Brother Xiao, come and see."

She led the two of them to the bulletin board. At this time, the bulletin board did not have the usual task strips and announcements. Instead, there was a piece of crumpled A4 paper with a portrait printed on it.

Although the paper is blurred, it can still be seen that it is a portrait of a woman.She was wearing a gown hooked with gold threads, and she looked very beautiful, but her eyes were timid, as if she didn't quite get used to it.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?" You Qingyu seemed to be very scared. It stands to reason that everyone has gone through so many things, so they shouldn't panic anymore.

"This painting, it..." You Qingyu calmed down and said, "This guy drew it 10 minutes ago."

"what?"

What she pointed at was He Xiangwu who had been squatting aside with his head in his arms muffled since just now.

Having said that, He Xiangwu turned around slowly, with an expression of wanting to cry.

"Brother Fang...Brother Xiao, I, I don't know anything! I just seemed to be walking this way with her one second, and then suddenly grabbed by her and slapped me a few times in the next second. It was only after I woke up that I realized that I was holding a ballpoint pen in my hand, and that picture had already been drawn and pasted there..."

This is the first time I use the new version of the app, and I can use the scroll wheel to adjust the release time of the manuscript. As a result, my handicap actually set 21:00 to 21:59! !

I'm still wondering why it's still in the manuscript box at 9:20... It's my fault qaaaaq
