A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 223 The Drowned Lake

"Why, why can't you let me go?!"

"Zeng Xin" cried, "I never harmed you! It's not me who harmed you, why do you have to pester me!"

The ghost stared at her silently.

Fang Shiqing moved quietly to the other side, the water level was still rising, and it seemed that it was about to reach the calf.

Probably because the ghost's motionless gaze was too oppressive, and the voice of "Zeng Xin" trembled a little.

"Even... I once had a little bit of sorry for you, haven't you already paid it back a thousand times! I'm dead, a lonely ghost, trapped alone in this water for so long So long, so long! No matter how much you hate me! It should be enough!"

As she spoke, she started to cry, "I've been alone in the water for many, many years. This is the closest I've come to freedom. Ah Bei, can you let me go? Please, see In terms of previous affection..."

——A Bei.

Fang Shiqing was not too surprised.This ghost is A Bei in the exchange diary. If I am not mistaken, it should also be the female corpse lying in the coffin in the mourning hall: the mosaics on their faces are exactly the same.

So, the water ghost attached to Zeng Xin is the "Anan" in the exchange diary?

According to her, many things happened to the two partners who wrote the exchange diary together when they were young, and even became enemies.

Zeng Xin is good-looking, but when she cries, she is quite deceptive.However, the ghost on the opposite side was completely unmoved, just staring at her until her crying gradually died down.By this time, the water was up to my knees.

The ghost sighed faintly, and then even spoke.Her voice was ethereal, like an echo.

"Anan, you really have changed a lot."

"If you are locked underwater for so many years, you will change a lot!" the water ghost said hysterically.

"No," the ghost seemed to laugh, "I actually admired you when I was young. You are different from a country kid like me. You are smart and beautiful. But neither are you and the others in that big house. Similarly, you wouldn’t scold poor people like us, and you’d still like to play with me—”

"Even after you saw the living conditions of people like us, you would protest to your father and brothers on our behalf. At that time, I really felt that it was great to have a friend like you."

Its tone was very calm, but the water ghost trembled even more, as if it was not talking about something in the past, but an extremely terrifying threat.

"Then, you left Fengyue Town and went to school outside. When you said goodbye, what did you say?"

The water ghost was speechless.

"You said that when you come back from your studies, you will use what you learned outside to change this town." The ghost seemed to be sighing, "But when you really come back...you have changed, a lot .”

"Before you went out, you swore that you would have the power to change everything. But after you came back, instead of changing anything, you completely integrated into your family. In order to please your brother, you even betrayed me Lose."

"I didn't!" The water ghost screamed, "It's none of my business. If you insist on running to the lake, you are good-looking. If he sees you, he will of course want to ask you to be his concubine. This is different from mine. What does it matter!"

The ghost stared at her.The water ghost couldn't bear the pressure, sobbed again.

"This, this can't be blamed on me... Ah Bei, you have never been outside the town. You don't know that in the outside world, people without money can't survive at all! How can I survive if I don't have enough money from my family? Huh? So I, I can't fall out with my family. Besides, being my brother's concubine is not a bad thing..."

While listening to them talking about the background stories of these dungeons, Fang Shiqing sneaked up to the stone door blocking the way, trying to find a way to open a hole in the door and run out when the two ghosts were not paying attention.

Just when he was about to secretly take out the high-temperature magic guide, the ghost turned his head and glanced at him quietly——

It was a warning look.Fang Shiqing felt the hairs all over his body standing on end, and he had no doubt that if he made any further moves, he would be killed by it on the spot.

...But, is it really capable of killing people?He thought again, if it could kill people directly, why imprison the water ghost here and flood it with water.

"Yeah, that's why you not only refused to help me, but also pushed me behind," the ghost said heavily, "so, even if I'm dead, I'll never be able to forgive you."

Fang Shiqing still decided to give it a try, after all, this was the only chance he could see.

He put his hands behind his back, carefully took out the magic guide, adjusted its temperature blindly, and wanted to stick it to the stone wall.

However, he twisted it twice, and soon found that the magic device was completely ineffective, and no matter how he fiddled with it, it couldn't emit any temperature.

——By the way, although that ghost may not have the ability to kill people, it belongs to the supernatural category after all, and it is likely to be able to affect these props that operate with supernatural power.

Fang Shiqing's heart flickered for a moment, and he sank hard.

"But I have already paid the price!" The water ghost—"A'nan" shouted holding his head in fear, "I have already paid a very painful price! I am already dead, and I am still imprisoned under the water after death Isn't it enough for so many years?!"

"—Not enough." The ghost seemed to smile slightly, with an incomparably bitter voice, "I hope you will never be free, never see the light of day, or simply be ashes and die, so how can you be allowed to escape. Get your body again It feels great, doesn't it? Then, you use this new body to drown the pain again."

The ghost disappeared.

At this time, the water was almost up to the waist.The water ghost screamed and rushed towards Fang Shiqing, grabbing his arm: "Quick, take out that prop for me! If you don't run away, it will be too late, hurry up!"

"..." Fang Shiqing could only shake his head stiffly, "...it can't be used anymore."

"what?!"

"It can't be used anymore... that magic device was broken by it."

"--impossible!"

The water ghost grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously, with an extremely distorted expression, "You must be lying to me! Take it out quickly, do you want to die here now!"

Of course he didn't want to, he didn't want to die at all, but now, there was nothing he could do.Fang Shiqing threw the magic device to her, and watched her frantically tossing the broken machine with cold eyes, feeling cold in his heart.

He felt that he might not survive this time.

Why did that female ghost hate her so much? He had no interest in this at all, but it was useless to say anything now. The ghost seemed to have made up his mind to let him, an insignificant passerby, be buried with him.

The water level was still rising, and the water ghost finally threw away the magic device, smashed the stone door with his fist in despair, and burst into tears.

After she is possessed, she cannot leave unless she is expelled or the attached body dies. That is to say, now she can only wait to die like an ordinary person.

Fang Shiqing mechanically replaced the flashlight with new batteries, put it in a plastic bag and tied it around his waist.He didn't know why he did this, maybe it was so that his body could be found in the future.

Speaking of which, will there be a corpse left behind? ...Or will it just disappear, and then one day in the future, it will directly appear in Qingliang Farm as an NPC with the same name?

At that time, as an NPC, can I still... see the boss?

He slowly leaned against the stone wall, the cold water and the cold panic made his hands and feet feel cold.

This might be the last few minutes of his life, he wanted to see Xiao Fengdi one last time, knowing that under such circumstances it was impossible to see him anyway, but he still couldn't help thinking about him.

"Zeng Xin" finally stopped, panting for breath, as his hands were rubbed against the stone.After a while, she turned her head, wading through the water and came to Fang Shiqing, her expression became extremely scary.

"You and your accomplices ruined the new life I could have..." She gritted her teeth and said, "Are you happy now? You have succeeded, I can't get out!"

What she said was completely illogical, and Fang Shiqing knew in her heart that she was just on the verge of collapse and started talking nonsense, so she didn't want to pay attention to it.

But she intensified, grabbing him and pressing him into the water: "I will never make it easy for you! If I die, you won't be able to live either—all of you, don't even think about living a good life!"

Unexpectedly, she would explode into trouble, and Fang Shiqing was thrown into the water all of a sudden, caught off guard.

The height of the water surface has reached a person's chest, which is enough to drown a person. Once it is pushed down, it will be too difficult to get up again.

He struggled a few times in horror, but he could only splash a splash of water helplessly. The water ghost pressed his head tightly, the water choked into his nasal cavity and trachea, and his health value dropped by a large amount.

At this time, Fang Shiqing suddenly no longer feared.

My life is probably over.In the gradually blurred consciousness, some long-term and very trivial memories gradually emerged, and they were projected frame by frame.

This is the so-called revolving lantern.I didn't expect it to feel this way; it wasn't uncomfortable, it was even a little comfortable.It's just a pity, because he probably has no chance to live the life he once promised to each other, and he can't form a new family with someone as he said before.

Just before the health value was about to drop to the bottom, the hand that was pressing on the back of his head was suddenly lifted up to catch him out of the water.

Fang Shiqing had basically lost consciousness, and even after getting out of the water, he couldn't recover his breathing immediately.

But then another bottle of special recovery potion was poured down, bringing his health back to the safe line.Fang Shiqing suddenly came to his senses, and the revolving lantern disappeared. He looked at the water ghost in disbelief, wondering if she wanted to play a game of cruelty at the last moment before she died, and wouldn't people die simply?

The water ghost stared at him with his eyes open, and suddenly a line of tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Shiqing..." she called out in a low voice, "Shiqing, I'm sorry. I seem to..."

"—Zeng Xin?" Fang Shiqing called out tentatively.

The other party did not speak for a long time.Fang Shiqing touched her shoulder hesitantly, and she suddenly screamed hoarsely, and at the same time desperately hit her head against the stone wall behind.

"Don't touch me! Don't touch me!" she yelled, "I'm...

She was yelling in confusion, and her limbs were thrashing in the water, causing a big splash. Fang Shiqing couldn't get close, so he could only shout, "Calm down! Zeng Xin, can you hear me?!"

The thumping over there suddenly stopped, and Zeng Xin fell straight down and fell into the water.

Fang Shiqing was shocked and rushed over to help her up.A small piece of gravel slipped from her collar into the water. He looked at her status bar and suddenly realized: Could it be that she was hit by a stone in a key position just now and passed out?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his forehead, and a stone fell from the top of his head, hitting his forehead.He looked up, only to see the stone directly above his head, and he didn't know when a piece was removed, and a familiar face protruded from it——

It's the face of a doll.
