Ghost System [Rebirth]

After almost finishing a section of the embankment, Ye Han kept staring at the river and remained silent.Fang Yi didn't hear the system's beep, he knew it was Jiangdi's function.When the river embankment was built, such precautions had already been taken: the drowned spirits urgently needed to go ashore to find a substitute, so the embankment was the most important barrier.He stood on the embankment, as long as he didn't cross its range, the evil spirits wouldn't notice him, and he could only see the traces of the evil spirits, but he couldn't do anything.

"That thing is very vicious." Ye Han said suddenly, "I have only encountered evil spirits with a malicious value over [-], and this is the second time. The first extermination operation failed, and four people died. "

Fang Yi followed him and stopped.

"Are you injured? Did you act with others before?"

"Well, it's very troublesome. If you don't cooperate well, it will bring a fatal crisis, so I'm used to acting on my own."

Fang Yi opened his mouth and remained silent.He remembered what Ye Han said to Zhan Yu, in the eyes of people who are used to being alone, a guy like himself is indeed a burden.

"You stop here." Ye Han said to him, "If you go further, you will be discovered by them, or detected by the system. It can deafen you."

Fang Yi looked up and saw behind him the building where Shi Fengyi lived in Yujingwan community.

"...Did you destroy the embankment when building the house?"

Ye Han tapped the ground with his toes: "Here is the trace of repair. There should be only cracks in the embankment, but it is not damaged. But after repairing, it will definitely not fit. This place is a gap."

The souls drowned in the river climbed ashore through this gap, looking for a substitute, or went straight to their destination.Fang Yi looked at the ground and then at him: "What are you going to do?"

"Chat." Ye Han said.

Fang Yi: "You don't need my help?"

Ye Han showed an expression of "you're fucking joking": "No need, if you bring out another malicious thing worth [-], I really can't deal with it. You are very important——no, it's yours." Dog teeth are very important. Don't mess around."

Fang Yi: "I didn't lead it out."

Ye Han raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Fang Yi: "... Forget it. I understand."

Ye Han walked into the range of the gap, facing the river, looking around.

After staring at him for a while, Fang Yi looked back.He felt a little bored, and took out his mobile phone to search the Internet for events that happened here.

There are more than 3 search results, and the first few pages are almost all drowning incidents that occurred in different periods, ranging from slipping into the water to capsizing a ferry.With the establishment of the rescue mechanism and the increase of professional rescuers, the number of drowning incidents has gradually decreased in recent years, but if it occurs, it must be a mass incident.Fang Yi was startled: he had never noticed what happened here before, and he never thought that so many people would die in this river every year.

A recent piece of news caught Fang Yi's attention.

With the onset of summer, rainfall sometimes decreases sharply for a period of time, and the river enters a seasonal dry season.At the same time, its water level has dropped to a 15-year low due to years of over-pumping of groundwater and continuous dumping of garbage into the river.The lowering of the water level also exposed some things that were hidden under the water.

There is a large expanse of fresh silt beneath the embankment on the west bank.The fish and shrimp thumping in the mud did not have time to move their positions with the drop of the river water, and some iron products that sank at the bottom of the river were exposed to the sun as the water level dropped.Among the silt and garbage, scavengers found a culvert filled with water.The culvert was filled with black sewage, and the stench was pungent. They dug up the bodies of six or seven children in the cave.

The body was bloated beyond recognition and decayed.At the end of the news, the names of these children were published: they were all elementary school students who disappeared in the ferry capsized incident a few years ago.

Fang Yi immediately searched for the ferry overturning incident with keywords.

The ferry capsizing incident occurred at just after eight o'clock that morning.On the ferry at the time were the children with food and drink ready to go on an autumn excursion.They started late, so they were the last kids in school to get on the ferry.Besides them on the ferry, there were many people who were going to cross the river to go to work.The condition of the ferry at that time was still very simple, cars and people were mixed together, and the children were led by the teacher and stood at the corner of the ferry.

First, the chickens and ducks on a motorcycle started to flop, and the woman beside the motorcycle backed away in panic, knocking down a couple riding a bicycle behind them.The domino effect caused by the two bicycles caused chaos on the ferry.At this time, the only car on the ferry suddenly moved, and the ferry suddenly lost its balance.According to the rescued people, there was chaos on the ferry, the children cried together, and their teachers panicked.It is unknown who jumped into the water first, and then a large number of people began to jump off the ferry.Children who could not climb over the railings were surrounded by fallen cars and had no way of escaping.

Fang Yi read and read the two reports.It is written in detail, but the only puzzling thing is that the place where the ferry overturned is five or six kilometers away from the culvert, and the culvert is located upstream, these corpses should not appear here.

"Ye Han." He raised his head to greet Ye Han, and saw Ye Han standing on the embankment, talking to the black figure standing in front of him.

Surrounded by black shadows, Ye Han looked like a vague and ethereal shadow.

Fang Yi's heart tightened, he hurriedly stood up and walked a few steps forward.Ye Han didn't look back, but just stretched out his hand and waved towards him.When he came back after communicating with the spirits, Fang Yi found that his face was pale, and he felt that something was wrong.

Ye Han sat on the stone bench, dripping cold sweat. "The human body is too troublesome." He grabbed the corner of Fang Yi's clothes and wiped his sweat. "It's easy to be affected in this environment. These bastards still want to drag me down."

Fang Yi pulled the corner of his clothes back from his hand: "Use your own to wipe."

The spirits on the river are also divided into factions. For example, those with long braids never talk to modern people in suits and leather shoes, thinking that their traditions are lost and the national style does not exist; The girls were not pleasing to the eye, completely disregarding each other's status as dead spirits, calling each other "fox spirits".Ye Han only asked a few old things, and he already got a lot of information.

"There are thousands of children here, all in their teens, or just a few months old. They don't know who the three or four-year-old children I am talking about are, but there is an interesting clue." Ye Han said, "One month A while ago, someone burned books by the river and threw a bunch of toys into the water."

"Burning books? Toys?" Fang Yi asked curiously, "This doesn't seem like something Shi Fengyi would do."

"wait a moment."

Ten minutes later, the river water pushed some sundries onto the shallows.Ye Han went down to pick up the debris.

Fang Yi was startled: this man can actually command those spirits who know no good or evil.His admiration for Ye Han suddenly reached another level.

Among the clutter was a half-burnt book, and two or three toys.It's all little girls' stuff, Fang Yi recognized a Barbie doll.The cover of the book has been burnt, dripping wet.Fang Yi picked up a twig and opened the soaked pages of the book, who would have thought it would rot if he moved it.

"Be careful." Ye Han said, "I have to return it. They are all children's treasures."

"It's an illustrated pinyin version of Aesop's fables." Fang Yi put down the branch and poked at the burnt title page, "It might be Shi Fengyi."

There are writings on the title page, most of which are blurred and cannot be seen clearly, only the "Uncle Shi" written on the inscription can still be vaguely recognized.

"The person who burned things was Shi Fengyi? Why did he burn these things?" Fang Yi was confused.

These are obviously burned for children, but Shi Fengyi is single, about the same age as himself, even if he has a history of marriage and children, he has not yet reached the level of being able to understand the fables in pinyin.Moreover, Fang Yi had just searched, and the recent drowning incident on the river was not related to the child.

Ye Han put these items back into the river, and the two immediately turned back and rushed to Yujingwan Community.

Shi Fengyi is still at home, and Zhan Yu has already gone back.I don't know what method Zhan Yu used to appease him, at least when Shi Fengyi opened the door to Fang Yi and Ye Han, Shi Fengyi was very calm.

"Zhan Yu also knew what happened on the river." Shi Fengyi said, "He was right. I shouldn't have hidden it from you, and this matter can't be hidden."

Fang Yi: "What's the matter?".

Shi Fengyi was silent for a long time. After rubbing his temples, he said, "I burned those things."

"Why burn it? For whom?"

"...My lover has a child. He, he is a single father." Shi Fengyi looked up, with a very complicated tired emotion in his eyes, "His little girl died in the river, happily going on an autumn outing, and then never Didn't come back."
