A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"Stay away from the water..." Before he finished speaking, a long, dark shadow flew out of the water and tightly wrapped around the arm of Zeng Xin who was closest to the water.

Zeng Xin was staggered, but she was strong enough after all, she swayed and stabilized immediately.After a tug, but failed to do so, the shadow immediately let go, and quickly turned to Fang Shiqing who was next to him.

It was as slender and flexible as a snake, and it caught Fang Shiqing's hand at once.Fang Shiqing didn't have Zeng Xin's strength, so he was caught off guard and dragged down directly.

"—"

Fang Shiqing only had time to stretch out his hand desperately.Xiao Fengdi grabbed him in time, but slipped because he was wearing gloves.

So in the end, he was dragged into the water by some monster under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The moment he touched the water, Fang Shiqing panicked.

He has dived into the water more than once tonight, but Xiao Fengdi kept him firmly by his side every time before, so there is nothing to be afraid of; but this time is different.

The slender black shadow dragged him underwater, and the dark and turbid liquid squeezed around his body, which immediately awakened his instinctive fear of water.

The flashlight fell out of his hand and fell to an unknown place. He struggled in a disorderly manner, but this action only made him choke on water one after another.

The feeling of lack of oxygen quickly surged up, and he reached out his hand in vain, hoping that someone could hold him back, but this time he didn't.

The surroundings fell into complete darkness.

Someone poked his shoulder lightly, Fang Shiqing shivered, and opened his eyes suddenly.

"Are you awake?" The person next to you lit the flashlight from the side, which is an angle that can get enough light without being dazzling, "You were injured just now, how do you feel now, how much health do you have?"

Fang Shiqing blinked, and found that the one squatting beside him was Gu Jinhong who had been separated before.

"Don't look, there is no one else here." The other party said again, "I only found you."

"..." Fang Shiqing coughed twice, and finally found his voice, "This is, where is it? How did you..."

There are still black rocks around, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard not far behind.As the other party said, there are only two of them alive here, and the other players and the dolls who have always been by Gu Jinhong's side are all missing.

He remembered, he was dragged into the water by a monster, was it because of this that he got separated from others?

How is the boss now?Seeing him being dragged into the water, the other party must be very anxious.

"This is an underground passage, I don't know the exact location," Gu Jinhong replied warmly, "I saw you being dragged in the water by a black monster, so I drove it away and took you away." Got it... come up."

"Kick it away? How did you do it?"

Gu Jinhong raised his right hand, holding a long wooden stick that looked like a bat: "Use this. I picked it up from outside. Those black monsters are very afraid of it."

Fang Shiqing stretched out his hand to touch it, and was stunned for a while.

Isn't this just an ordinary mahogany stick!

It seems that those black little ghosts are really not very advanced, and they can be easily driven away with only peach wood.

He still has a pile of peach wood planks in his inventory. If he had known that he had distributed these planks to everyone earlier, he wouldn't have been so miserable by the kid.

Fang Shiqing checked his status and found that his health had dropped a bit, and there were many scratches on his limbs, probably from the protruding rocks at the bottom of the water.However, the wound has almost healed, and it doesn't hurt much. It has obviously been treated, so it doesn't matter.

The previous flashlight fell into the water, and he took a new one from the inventory and tied it around his waist. Since he lost the flashlight in the third dungeon, he has always kept at least two flashlights on him , now it seems that it is right to plan ahead.

Xiao Fengdi must be contacted as soon as possible, he thought.It hasn't been more than 5 minutes since I fell into the water, and I shouldn't be able to run very far... The question is, what exactly is this place?

He looked at the place where the sound of water came from behind, and found that it was a narrow underground river with traces of dragging beside it.The running water was quite clear, which made him feel bad: judging from the condition of the water, it was probably far away from the residential area.

"Are you thinking about how to meet others?" Gu Jinhong looked at him, "It's a pity, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find them in a short time. This underground passage is very complicated. To be honest, I have lost my way too."

"..." This means that it is difficult to reunite with teammates now.Fang Shiqing was very frustrated, and then suddenly realized, "Wait, how did you know that I was separated from others underground?"

"Just a guess. Wrong guess?"

Fang Shiqing had some doubts in his heart, but Gu Jinhong has always been like this. Besides, if the other party wants to harm him, there is no need to save him. The most important thing is that even if the other party really has a ghost, he is weak and can't beat him now.In summary, he finally chose to play dumb.

"I see, by the way, thank you for saving me. Speaking of which, why are you here, Gu Pan?"

"Uh..." Gu Jinhong was slightly embarrassed, "I don't know either. I had some quarrels with her, and then we separated."

"Huh? Did she quarrel with you?"

Fang Shiqing couldn't understand.As for the puppet's obedience to him, how did they quarrel?

Gu Jinhong talked a little bit about his situation.

At that time, the puppet suddenly picked him up and ran, even if he told her to stop, he didn't stop at all, until he ran to the easternmost end of the map.

When he finally persuaded the puppet and went back to find others, Fang Shiqing and the others were no longer in the square.

After that, Gu Jinhong set off to find other people, but the puppet kept showing reluctance, and quarreled every time it came and went.The puppet ran away in a fit of anger, so Gu Jinhong had no choice but to continue walking forward alone, trying to dive into another piece of water to the east, and found such an underground labyrinth at the bottom of the water.

...then, after wandering around the maze for a while, I got lost.

Fang Shiqing felt that this rhetoric was very psychedelic: "How could she run away in a fit of anger?"

The puppet was so worried about Gu Jinhong, how could he be left alone in a dungeon where there was every step of the way?

"It's not surprising, she is a young girl after all, it's normal to lose her temper occasionally." Gu Jinhong said.

"..." Fang Shiqing cursed, if you say this, you will be beaten to death by ordinary girls.

"In short, let's continue to walk around first."

There is an underground river next to it, and the water vapor concentration here is much more normal, at least it will not make people feel uncomfortable.

Fang Shiqing took out a peach wood board and held it in his hands, and the two walked forward in silence.

Fang Shiqing hesitated whether to tell the other party what he knew so far, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, he couldn't fully trust Gu Jinhong at the moment.

After a while, it was Gu Jinhong who took the initiative and said, "Speaking of which, I found some things that I don't know if they are clues or not."

"What do you think."

Gu Jinhong took out a notebook and handed it over, with a few lines scrawled on it:

"I know how to destroy it! The upper body person can do it by himself. The inside of the possessed water ghost is very fragile. It cannot be defeated physically but mentally. Don't be afraid anymore. Killing it is not necessary. Difficulties, all I need to solve it is my firm will! It’s as simple as that, it’s up to me to make it happen, and running away can’t solve the problem! Out of friendly team spirit, let’s go!”

This passage is upside down, very strange.Usually, in this case...

Fang Shiqing guessed what was going on right away, and immediately read the first words of each sentence together, and felt a chill on the back of his neck:

——I'm possessed, just kill me to escape.

"What is this……"

"I don't know, it's a mess. Can you see something?"

Gu Jinhong looked confused, but Fang Shiqing didn't think he would fail to discover the secret, it's just that he always refused to express his opinion.

If this message is true, it means that the players have to kill the possessed player while the water ghost is on his body... to eliminate the water ghost?

impossible.Fang Shiqing shook his head in his heart, thinking that this was just another trap commonly used in dungeons. These dungeons love to cause internal strife among players.

What he cared more about was whether the water ghost behind the upper body could move freely.

After that, the two returned to the state of silence.

They have been walking along the road for 10 minutes.Fang Shiqing judged the direction through the map in the menu bar. The two were walking north. Because the underground river flows from north to south, it is more likely to meet north.

The aisle became shorter and shorter, and at first he could stand upright, but later even Fang Shiqing had to walk with his neck bent.

"Did you hear that?" Gu Jinhong said suddenly, "There seems to be something... like a child crying."

Fang Shiqing heard nothing.But he knew that Gu Jinhong had good ears before, so he didn't doubt it.

After walking for a short distance, he finally heard it too, but: "Is this crying...? I feel like laughing."

"Some people are crying, while others are laughing." Gu Jinhong affirmed.

The voice is getting louder.There is a corner ahead, Fang Shiqing sticks to the stone wall cautiously, and sticks his head out.

On the other side of the corner is a low-slung space, about the size of an ordinary living room.A few dark ghosts were sitting together, the one in the middle was whimpering, the circle outside was clapping and laughing, and at the same time singing in a strange tone.

"Catched, caught, caught the water ghost. Burn her to death, burn her to death, and give us a peaceful home..."

"I'm not a water ghost," screamed the kid in the middle, "you got it wrong!"

"It's not wrong, it's not wrong, the upper body of the water ghost is you, as long as it is in the human body, you can't escape."

"——This seems to be performing a drama." Gu Jinhong leaned into Fang Shiqing's ear and whispered, "Did you notice that they are very particular about their positions and movements."

Fang Shiqing didn't understand this, but the little ghosts really felt like they were performing.They can't be reminding him, reminding him that the water ghost can't leave once it gets on its body, and can be destroyed by fire... But is it good for them to remind him?

"Burn her, burn her, burn her..."

The little ghosts danced around the middle, and the little ghost in the middle suddenly changed his face, grabbed a gap and jumped forward, and grabbed a certain little ghost.

"As long as I can run away, this body is mine!" the kid proudly said, "The original owner will stay for me, and I will go outside for her. She is my scapegoat, and I am the water of rebirth—— "

Suddenly there was a muffled sound above the heads of the little ghosts, followed by a thunderous crack.Accompanied by screams and screams, the large rocks above their heads collapsed along with the sand, crushing all the little ghosts below.

There were actually two more people who fell down with the gravel!
