A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 222 The Drowned Lake

The loud noise made Fang Shiqing slightly awake.

He was held by "Zeng Xin" and dragged forward, his body kept colliding with the gravel on the ground, the blood on the top of his head was dripping on the ground, and his health value slowly dropped.

He struggled to raise his head and looked at the source of the noise, only to see that the stone at the top of the place they had just passed had collapsed, completely blocking the way back.

"Zeng Xin" glanced back, and sneered inexplicably: "It seems that you have been abandoned by your friends."

He struggled for a moment, and then realized that this little resistance was really nothing to her; she held him as easily as an eagle catches a chicken.

"Abandoned? What do you mean?" His throat was hoarse.

"Literally, didn't you see it? He blocked your escape route. Even if you escape from me, you can't run back."

She spoke in a strange tone and sounded like she was gloating.

However, Fang Shiqing knew that what she said was the truth.Now, no matter whether it is subjective strength or objective conditions, he will not allow himself to escape from her.

"Are you a water ghost?" he murmured.

"Well, yes." She admitted bluntly, probably because it is now that there is really no need to pretend anymore.

"When, when did you... attached to her?"

"Huh?" "Zeng Xin" paused for a while, then giggled, "Haven't you figured it out yet? When you first found her, I was already on her body. I followed her all the way." The one around you is not your friend at all, but me."

"—"

Fang Shiqing held his breath.

Some suspicious points that seemed to be vague before, suddenly became clear at this time.

She was sealed in water from the beginning;

In order not to be drowned in the tank, she filled a large amount of water in a container in the prop column, as long as she reached into the prop column, she could touch it without being noticed by anyone;

When being attacked by the black kid, even Xiao Fengdi, who was a little farther away from Fang Shiqing and had a lower agility value, was able to grab his hand, but she, who was closest to Fang Shiqing, couldn't respond;

You Qingyu, who was carried by her, has not been able to wake up, but soon woke up after being placed on Gu Jinhong's back...

These trivial matters alone are nothing, but when they are finally exposed, one by one, they can be connected in series.

"I really didn't expect that my luck would be so good," "Zeng Xin" dragged him forward, not without complacency, "I just chose a target at random, and the result is not only high in physical fitness, but also low in presence." , there are no special characteristics in her personality, and she is very easy to disguise-it's like God is helping me!"

"What do you want?... Do you want to be resurrected?" Fang Shiqing's back brushed against a sharp rock, and he began to feel throbbing pain all over his body, "Why did you take me with you?"

If it is said that she took Zeng Xin's body in order to return to the human world, then why did she drag Fang Shiqing along?

"Yes, of course it's for resurrection," she said without looking back, "How can I get out without you?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Don't you know? Only the water ghost who finds the scapegoat can get out of this water, and you are my scapegoat now." She said with a snort.

"Death? Didn't you already occupy her body?"

"Of course it's not enough to have only one body, and I can't get rid of the original owner of the body, and let her stay here to take care of me. So..." Her voice lowered, and she seemed a little seductive, "I have to ask you to replace me." I'm going to die, okay, Shi Qing?"

Her tone made Fang Shiqing uncomfortable for a while, Zeng Xin never spoke like that.

The legendary water ghost can only be reincarnated after being killed by another person.In other words, if the water ghost wants to use its body to revive its soul, it must have both a body and a surrogate...?

Fang Shiqing remembered the play performed by the black little ghosts he had seen earlier.The little ghost playing the water ghost, when he broke through and ran away, also grabbed another kid playing the ordinary person in his hand.Is this foreshadowing the present scene?

"You are really unlucky." She changed her posture, dragged Fang Shiqing to her, stared at him and said, "I didn't intend to provoke you. After all, your man is too dangerous. If he sees it, Maybe it will kill me to avenge you. But who told you to be by my hand at that time? I have no other choice, so I have to take a gamble with you."

Recalling the previous situation, Fang Shiqing's hairs stood on end: "Did you plan to use Qingyu as your scapegoat?"

"Well. She doesn't have any doubts about 'me', and there are only two women here, me and her, and they can stay together naturally. Isn't it suitable to use her? That's why I said you are unlucky, I have brought it with me all the way She only accidentally lost it at the last minute."

"Zeng Xin" seemed to be in a particularly good mood. When she spoke, her eyes were crooked when she smiled, but it made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

She really is a ghost...

"What are you going to do? Take me to the lake and drown?!"

"Well. As long as you cross this road, I can take you directly to the lake, and when you drown there, I will be free—" She smiled softly, "Don't worry, before you drown, I'll knock you out. It won't hurt you."

Fang Shiqing was truly frightened.He felt as if he had never been so scared; at this moment, he was facing a terrifying and powerful enemy, and there was no possibility of escape, and it was hard to imagine that anyone could come to rescue him...

Most importantly, now more than ever, he wants to live.

In the past, I died as soon as I died, and there was no future to speak of anyway.But now... now it's different.

What would the boss think if he died here, at the bottom of the icy lake?It must be sad, right?He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Xiao Fengdi saw his dead body, and he didn't want to think about it.

He didn't want to die, really didn't want to die, that's why he was so scared.

"Zeng Xin" stopped suddenly.

Fang Shiqing turned his head and found that there was a dead end ahead.

She threw Fang Shiqing aside, stepped forward to knock on the stone at the end, and frowned.

There was an empty echo coming from behind the stone, and Fang Shiqing could tell that the back was probably empty; this was a stone specially used to seal off roads.

"Zeng Xin" turned his head, groped for something on the wall next to him, pressed a hidden mechanism, and the whole passageway vibrated accordingly, and the stone wall blocking the way seemed to have a tendency to lift upwards.

Finally getting rid of the embarrassment of being carried in his hands, Fang Shiqing coughed, took out the healing medicine and poured it on his body, and finally felt better.

He forcibly suppressed the feeling of fear and tried to think of a way to escape.

Both the way back and the way forward were blocked, and there was no fork in the middle section. No matter which way he ran, he would be caught immediately.

Is there any other place to go?He tried to knock on the wall with his back against it, and found that the echo here was very thick, and the back was probably solid.

"Zeng Xin" stared expectantly at the trembling stone wall.However, as the vibration gradually stopped, there was a sound like a gear stuck above it, but it still didn't lift up.

"How could this be?"

She turned the mechanism again in disbelief, and this time the roadblock didn't even move.

"--how so!"

The smile on the face of "Zeng Xin" finally couldn't hold back, she repeatedly broke the mechanism several times, but it was sure that it didn't work.Then she seemed to remember something, and suddenly screamed: "It's her! She must have locked the main gate of the underground mechanism!"

she? ……who?

Fang Shiqing's first reaction was Gu Jinhong, but it seemed impossible for Gu Jinhong to know the main gate of the agency.

He also discovered that this underground labyrinth is full of various organs, and the water ghost who is the boss knows it well.She meant that there was someone who knew more about this place than she did, and blocked this passage ahead of her?

That is to say...

Are they locked in this closed road?

There was a muffled roar not far away. "Zeng Xin" turned her head suddenly, only to see countless small holes popped out of the top of her head, and a lot of water gushed out of them.

"?!"

The running water covered the feet in an instant, not only Zeng Xin, but also Fang Shiqing hurriedly supported the wall and stood up.

At this moment, he also realized: No matter who the person who blocked the road was, what he wanted to do was undoubtedly to prevent the water ghost from returning to the lake, and the way was to kill her right here.

As for his life that was brought all the way here by the water ghost, this man didn't care.If this continues, he and Zeng Xin will have to drown here!

"Zeng Xin" was more flustered than him.She suddenly remembered something, grabbed him by the collar, and said urgently: "By the way, don't you have that? That thing that can crack the stone, take it out quickly, and break the stone door opposite, quickly!"

Was she referring to the high temperature magic device?Indeed, adding water to the magic tool can destroy the not too thick stone wall on the opposite side.but……

"What are you hesitating about?" "Zeng Xin" shouted, "If you don't escape quickly, you will die here too!"

The water level came up to the ankles.

"If I let you escape, won't I die?" Fang Shiqing asked back, his voice trembling a little.

"...at least an hour more!"

Does that make any sense!

It was hard for Fang Shiqing to describe his feelings. He didn't want to die at all, and he didn't want Zeng Xin to die, but he didn't want this water ghost to escape as Zeng Xin either.

"Hurry up and take it out!" "Zeng Xin" strode in front of him, grabbed his neck forcefully, the expression on his face became grim, "You know? There are many kinds of death, if you don't do what I say , I will definitely let you in the most uncomfortable way—”

Fang Shiqing struggled instinctively, then suddenly froze.

Over the shoulder of the water ghost, he saw a light red, transparent thing emerging from the rock behind him——

If the water ghost is a viscous colloid like slime, the one that appears now is a ghost purely made of mist.

It was red all over, as if it was wearing bright red clothes and its transparency had been lowered.The part that should have been the face was only black and white, and Fang Shiqing was stunned for a while before realizing that its face had been covered with a layer of mosaic.

Realizing that his gaze was passing through him, the water ghost opened his eyes wide and looked back, then let out a scream.

"what--!"

She threw Fang Shiqing away and tried her best to hide, "It's you, it really is you! Aren't you going to let me go? It's already this time, are you still going to let me go!"

The ghost looked at her quietly, although its face was not clear, but from the perspective of a bystander, Fang Shiqing felt that it seemed to be mocking.
