The two walked up the slime-stained stairs with a heavy heart, and there were more and bigger green eggs all over the corridor on the second floor.

Song Cheng looked around, and saw that the monsters in several transparent eggs had grown very large, and the doctors and patients wrapped in them to provide nutrition had been dead for a long time, and their bodies had shrunk a lot.

"Hold!"

Chu Zihan's face was livid, and he took out the fruit knife first, enduring the nausea, and walked up.

Song Cheng followed closely behind, but before the two had time to make a move, a giant egg exploded with a "poof" because it was too saturated.

The young man was taken aback, and Chu Zihan also froze in place.

I saw the monster that was obviously as big as a basketball fell to the ground in embarrassment, and there was a pitiful cry from its mouth, like the cry of a baby.

Its four obviously non-human webbed toes crawled slowly on the ground, and a twisted water mark was dragged out.

"Brother Chu!" Song Cheng called out to Chu Zihan, and the man came to his senses.

However, before he stepped forward, the thing crawled and suddenly stopped moving, its glistening skin quickly shriveled, and its human-like eyeballs also became cloudy and dull.

Chu Zihan didn't hesitate, and after decisively killing the thing, he let out a heavy breath.

Song Cheng frowned and looked at the ugly things on the ground, and said in a low voice, "They can't do without water."

Once the egg breaks out, the water in the body will evaporate quickly.

"So it's like this... Wasn't Toad a tadpole when he was a child?" Chu Zihan looked disgusted, "Why is it so ugly?"

Song Cheng shook his head, "They have their mother's genes, or their fathers also have half of the human traits."

Chu Zihan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Comrade Xiao Song, do you know that what you just said is terrifying?"

Song Cheng smiled helplessly, "If I'm not wrong."

In other words, the river god is the real god.

The two of them didn't care about those terrifying giant eggs anymore. Anyway, those monsters wouldn't be able to survive if they crawled out, so they didn't have to do it again.

They followed the patient number list pasted on the door of the ward, and found the ward where Shen Yan was.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was already a strangely dressed young woman standing quietly in the room behind their backs.

Song Cheng and Chu Zihan looked at each other, and they both saw doubts on each other's faces.

Before they had time to speak, the woman in the solemn pure black dress turned around.

Her skin was so fair that it was almost transparent, but the eyes on her face were covered with a black cloth about two fingers wide, which looked a bit weird.

"You two are distinguished guests from afar."

The woman's voice was dry and hoarse. Although they couldn't see the eyes, they could feel the man's gaze slowly cast over.

"You are?" Song Cheng frowned.

Hearing his words, the woman seemed a little surprised: "Did Mr. Shen not mention me to you?"

"I thought he would mention me to the other distinguished guests when he asked me to officiate at his daughter's wedding."

"You are... Goddess Wang?" Chu Zihan asked in disbelief.

The woman smiled slightly and asked, "Doesn't it look like it?"

Song Cheng was also a little surprised, he thought Mistress Wang would be an elderly lady, not the woman in front of him who looked no more than twenty-five.

"Don't look at me as a young girl, but I'm actually very old." Mistress Wang said, "I'm so old that I can step into the grave at any time."

"Originally, I thought that as long as I sent the last bride away, I would be able to go to the ground with peace of mind..."

Speaking of this, Goddess Wang paused for a moment, and her tone became a little bad when she spoke again.

"But who knew, this bride who had a son of God ran away from the marriage without authorization."

She stretched out her white and clean fingers to point to the wall in front of the two of them, which was covered with suspicious dark green slime.

"She gave birth to a child that covered the wall, and then she had a nervous breakdown and hanged herself."

Madame Wang said calmly, "Actually, few people can choose to live in such a terrible situation."

"What about the eggs?" Song Cheng asked.

At this moment, there is nothing left on the wall except for the smelly liquid.

Goddess Wang looked at him deeply, and said meaningfully: "Of course they were eaten by the brothers who were jealous of them."

The monsters hidden in the white mist outside frantically rushed into this small ward. They used their slender tongues to devour the younger brothers who could threaten their status, and then left contentedly.

"...fuck." Chu Zihan cursed in a low voice.

"There is no way. The children of the River God can give birth to thousands or even tens of thousands at a time. What you are seeing now is not all." Mistress Wang explained.

There are more unfinished eggs in Shen Yan's stomach.

"In order to compete for favor and survive, they will kill each other, and even kill each other."

"And these are all allowed by the river god."

The children will not leave their father too far, as long as the river god does not leave the Laizi River, they will stay here with their father.

But the living space of the Laizi River is limited, and they cannot do without the water source, and adding more children at this moment will undoubtedly threaten their survival.

"How could this be?" Song Cheng frowned subconsciously.

Mistress Wang looked at him and said, "I thought you would understand their characteristics better than me."

"What?" Song Cheng didn't understand why.

"It's nothing." Mistress Wang changed the subject, "How did you get here? Did you meet our lovely bride on the way?"

Although Goddess Wang clearly meant something, Song Cheng really couldn't understand it for a while and could only be led by her nose.

"Driving, I encountered those monsters on the road, but I didn't see Shen Yan."

Goddess Wang nodded knowingly, "I'm afraid it's too late, the white mist outside just hid her tracks."

"Isn't Shen Yan dead?" Chu Zihan asked urgently, "What do you mean by that?"

Mistress Wang looked at him and said, "She still has the heir of the River God in her belly, so she won't die for a while."

After hearing this, Chu Zihan's face became even uglier. It turned out that the eggs on the corridor were accidentally laid by Shen Yan while walking.

And once that thing touches a living person, it will immediately expand and engulf the person inside.

"Where is Shen Yan now?" Song Cheng asked.

Goddess Wang pulled back the blue isolation curtain and let out a "crash".

A female corpse that had already been thoroughly chilled sat quietly on the bedside table, with a huge hole in her stomach, her intestines spilled all over the floor, and she looked horrified.

It was because she was reluctant to keep the money and refused to hire a nurse, so she had to take care of Shen Yan's stepmother Zhang Caifeng herself, but Shen Kangshun didn't know where she was at the moment.

"She will go back to the river to give birth to the child first, and then with hatred and revenge..."

"Go home." Mistress Wang said lightly.

Why Shen Yan was chosen as the river god's bride by chance, Goddess Wang naturally knew the reason.

At the beginning, the little girl asked her lover to come to the river to talk, who knew that it was not her boyfriend but her sister who was not related by blood who was jealous of her.

Shen Yan's boyfriend is a playful young man, and he came to Hukou Town just to avoid the limelight in another place, and make a few pure-hearted girlfriends by the way, all for fun.

And Shen Yansheng was beautiful, but after the death of his biological mother, life was very difficult.

The money in the family is for the elder brother to study, and the food and clothing for the family must be chosen by the elder sister first. Because she is young, she has to be patient.

The stepmother is also aggressive and can't afford to suffer at all. Shen Yan was forced by her to give up her studies because the elder sister in the family didn't study, and she went to work well, so she can earn money by herself. spending money.

In desperation, Shen Yan started working part-time, and only then met her boyfriend who was not doing business.

What was even more unexpected was that after a few dates, the older sister happened to see her, and the two of them hooked up secretly at some point.

The man never refuses, but the woman knowingly commits the crime.

And Shen Yan didn't know about it, so that when the crash happened later, everyone panicked, and her boyfriend took the opportunity to break up with her sister.

It's just for fun, the younger sister is much prettier than the older sister, and she is also more gentle and considerate, a multiple-choice question that you can know even with your eyes closed.

This caused the elder sister's anger and jealousy. Under the quarrel and push between the two, the stronger elder sister felt evil from her heart and violently pushed Shen Yan into the water.

Seeing Shen Yan struggling in the water for help, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and called other people to help on the grounds that she couldn't swim.

Who knows that it only took a minute or two, and the person has already sunk.

Shen Yan had already been dragged away by the River God who was watching all this silently from a distance, how could he find it again.

Knowing the cause and effect, Chu Zihan touched his face with dry eyes, and kicked the chair hard.

Song Cheng also felt uncomfortable when he heard that, originally he wanted to come here to find traces of his family, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

"Don't be sad, lads, if the bride has returned to the river smoothly...you will know the result." Mistress Wang reminded in time.

There are already enough things on the street, if it continues to increase, the picture is unimaginable.

"Did you come here by car?" Witch Wang asked.

Song Cheng: "Yes."

"It's much easier to handle. An old woman like me can't get a driver's license, so she can only come here with her legs buried in the ground. She is really exhausted physically and mentally."

Goddess Wang made a joke, and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly remembered something, then turned her head and said to Chu Zihan:

"Almost forgot about your uncle. If I'm not mistaken, he should... hide in the storage room on the third floor?"

"Please help me find it."

Chu Zihan pressed his tongue against his palate with a horrifying expression: "Left or right?"

Goddess Wang pointed to the right and urged, "Try to be as fast as possible."

Chu Zihan made a reassuring gesture, and said to the young man, "Go and wait for me in the car first."

Song Cheng nodded, and led Mistress Wang into the parking lot.

The two of them didn't walk for a while, and the fog outside dissipated inexplicably, as if a sudden gust of wind swept away the dense fog.

"Strange." Song Cheng murmured, the sky at this moment was strangely gloomy, giving the illusion of black clouds overwhelming the city.

"It's getting dark, and the honored guests have arrived." Mistress Wang said flatly.

Song Cheng was slightly stunned, and instantly understood who she was talking about.

The wedding that did not take place as scheduled could still be cancelled, but the invitations sent out early could not be taken back in time, especially when Shen Yan's suicide came so suddenly.

Distinguished guest... Song Cheng had mixed emotions in his heart, will his family come too?

This small town is already chaotic enough, if the friends of the river god were all such weird monsters, Song Cheng really couldn't imagine what would happen then.

"The wedding can't be held, what about the guests who come?" Song Cheng opened the rear door for her.

Mistress Wang sat in, tidied her clothes and said, "Then choose another bride, the wedding must be held."

Song Cheng frowned, his expression a little cold: "Why? You should have known that the bride married by the river god would not survive."

What Shen Kangshun said before about spending the night on the boat was just a pretense to deceive himself and others.

The boat was not carried by the water, but by the monster's back.

A girl who left the familiar and solid land, she couldn't even run, the moment she stepped on the boat, her sacrifice was already doomed.

Goddess Wang turned her head to look at him with a calm expression. Instead of answering this question directly, she asked instead:

"So do you have a better way than this? Sacrificing one person is much better than sacrificing a group of people."

The monsters running rampant on the street are all soldiers sent by the river god to find his bride.

Just because they don't attack people now doesn't mean they will never attack people.

As long as the river god gives an order, they can easily eliminate the living humans in the whole town overnight, maybe even more.

"Maybe... you are trying to call the police station?"

Song Cheng's hand holding the phone froze instantly.

"I advise you not to do this." Mistress Wang paused for a moment, and then said, "If you don't want to be taken back to the police station, it would be a waste of days."

Song Cheng took back his phone, and his gaze fell heavily out of the window.

He naturally knew what would happen after calling the police. He had encountered enough situations in just three years.

"But it's also not the reason for you to harm others. No one is born to sacrifice for nothing." Song Cheng said in a low voice.

Goddess Wang was taken aback for a moment, and it took her a long time to speak, her voice tinged with bitterness.

"Yes, it is true that no one is born to be sacrificed, but fate has never given us a second way of life."

Just as Song Cheng was about to speak, his gaze caught sight of two people walking one behind the other not far away.

With a gloomy expression, Chu Zihan led Shen Kangshun, who was cowering and flabbergasted, over.

The two quickly got into the car, Chu Zihan started the engine and asked, "Why did the fog suddenly clear?"

Song Cheng shook his head, and Mistress Wang who was sitting behind him took his words.

"When the wind comes, the white mist will naturally dissipate."

Chu Zihan was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Song Cheng for some reason.

The young man didn't notice it, but looked out the window thoughtfully, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Wang, Granny Wang, my daughter has turned into a ghost! She, she actually wanted to kill me! She even killed Caifeng..."

Shen Kangshun almost shook into a ball, the poor man was frightened crazy, and hid in the narrow storage room for five or six hours.

Even so, he was almost found by Shen Yan, if it wasn't for Shen Yan's eagerness to find the water source, maybe he would not have escaped this catastrophe.

"The wedding can't be done, and people are dead... My bride price! What about my bride price? Will it be taken back by those monsters?" Shen Kangshun cried.

Song Cheng held his breath in his heart. This middle-aged man who lost his wife and daughter was not pitiful, even disgusting.

My loved ones are gone but I don't see sadness, instead I see those three boxes of priceless treasures.

Chu Zihan was on the verge of erupting, but the words of Goddess Wang interrupted his anger.

"Why, Mr. Shen still has a daughter."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the carriage fell silent.

It took Shen Kangshun a long time to react, and he stammered: "No, no, Grandma Wang, are you making a mistake? Xia Xiaoxiao is not my daughter."

Goddess Wang said calmly, "There is no mistake, she is your daughter."

Only then did Shen Kangshun understand that no matter whether Xia Xiaoxiao was related to him by blood or not, as long as it was sent under his family's name, he had to marry if he didn't want to.

With Goddess Wang's guidance, the car soon arrived near the Laizi River.

The Laizi River is not long, but it is wide and deep enough, so children drown in it every summer because of fun, and it takes several days to find the bodies.

They stopped the car and looked from a distance, the river was as calm as a mirror without waves.

"Is Shen Yan in the river?" Song Cheng asked.

Mistress Wang didn't answer him immediately, but took off the black cloth that was blindfolding her eyes.

So they saw that on Mistress Wang's beautiful face, there were two drop-shaped, dull golden solids in the fleshy frames whose eyeballs had been gouged out.

They replaced human eyes, and there was a very faint light in the eye sockets.

The moment Song Cheng saw it, his whole body was shocked in place.

The familiar golden thing caught off guard and brought back his embarrassing memories.

The golden blood he had been forcibly poured down was almost exactly the same as the two drops in Mistress Wang's eye sockets, except that the former had a more pronounced color and a much higher concentration than the latter.

"She's gone, we're late."

In just a few seconds, Goddess Wang put on the black cloth again and said calmly.

"Tianma Mountain is going to be completely dark, we have to go back quickly."

"Okay." Chu Zihan looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, and started the car without thinking.

He didn't see Song Cheng's pale face until Mistress Wang noticed something was wrong with him.

He asked softly, "Isn't it ugly?"

Only then did Song Cheng come back to his senses, and he replied absent-mindedly, "A little bit."

"I know it's ugly. I used to be young and ignorant. In order to keep my face unchanged, I traded a pair of eyes for youth and immortality..." Mistress Wang smiled wryly, "Who knew that these eyes would become my lifelong regret."

Song Cheng was taken aback, "The thing in your eye socket...who gave it to you?"

His heart was squeezed tightly by invisible big hands, with a sense of tension and urgency to reveal the answer, so that his brain went blank.

Witch Wang took a long time to answer this question, "They come from a certain immortal creature, maybe what we call God."

Song Cheng leaned back on the seat suddenly, God, what a familiar name.

It turned out that what was poured into him back then was the blood of God.

He should have known the result earlier, Song Cheng looked out of the window in a daze, his heart was in a mess.

When they returned to Shen Kangshun's house, there was no one in the house. Xia Xiaoxiao did not come back, but the wedding dress hanging on the hanger disappeared out of thin air.

Shen Yan came back at some point and took away the wedding.

Shen Kangshun tried to contact Xia Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't get in touch. Even Goddess Wang couldn't find her.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the group of people had no choice but to temporarily follow Witch Wang's house to avoid it.

Those ugly monsters on the street were no longer covered by the white mist, and they had long been hiding somewhere.

They looked around vigilantly, got out of the car and entered the house quickly.

Even though you can't see those things, it doesn't mean they won't hang on the wall or some dark corner.

Witch Wang's house is much smaller than they imagined, and the moment they step in, they can see the whole layout at a glance.

The furniture is all made of wood, which looks old and conservative, and there are not too many things in the living room, which is a little plain.

Mistress Wang lit the candles on the table, and then extinguished the matches.

"Please feel free, my eyes are not good, and I can't see light for a long time."

So she didn't install electric lights in her house, and she usually untied the black cloth when she was alone.

But today there were outsiders, in order not to scare the guests, she did not take off the cloth.

At this moment, it was completely dark, and the wind was mixed with strange coolness. The dim candlelight hit the wall, printing black shadows.

Song Cheng suddenly thought of what Goddess Wang had said before, she said that Shen Yan came home for revenge.

At this moment, the only two objects of her resentment are Xia Xiaoxiao and Shen Kangshun.

Shen Kangshun said that because Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid, she had already gone to a friend's house in the next town to stay for a few days, and it was logically unlikely that she would come back.

But now, the only person who will attract Shen Yan to come to his door is Shen Kangshun.

When he realized this, he looked up at the middle-aged man. Shen Kangshun was nervously clasping the dead skin on his hands, and his face was covered with ashes.

While Chu Zihan was leaning on the back of the sofa with his chest folded and fiddling with his mobile phone, Mistress Wang was sewing the doll silently, with each stitch being precisely joined together.

The atmosphere was so restless and weird that people couldn't stay any longer, Song Cheng stood up abruptly on his toes, "I'm going to the bathroom."

He didn't know what everyone was waiting for, but there was nothing to do but wait for them. It was destined to be a difficult and restless night.

Maybe everyone is waiting for something to happen, some unstoppable and uncontrollable people or things are coming.

The toilet in Mistress Wang's house is close to the entrance, but the door is facing the living room.

Song Cheng fumbled for the light switch on the wall, and it took him a long time to realize that Mrs. Wang's house did not have electric lights.

Just as he knocked on his head speechlessly, as soon as he glanced down, he caught a glimpse of a rolling eyeball.

He froze in place, and the moment he forcibly swallowed the scream, goosebumps fell all over the floor.
