Raise me, I'm super sweet

==============================

The third household is the insider who released the news that the monster appeared in Jiting Lake.

There was only one young man who had just woken up in the house. He looked to be in his early twenties, wearing pajamas and with messy hair.Seeing them coming in, he immediately lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Are you from that association?"

It is no secret that the association is among the people nowadays. Everyone can log in to the Zhenxie APP to ask for help when they encounter anything, but they are tourists.And with the increasing number of tasks performed, some people already have a general understanding of the members of the association.

Director Ye threatened him: "Yes, we are, so if you dare to release fake news, we will not spare you!"

"Absolutely not!" The young man shook his head in horror and said, "I did see it last night! Oh no, it should be this morning."

Qi Fanchen signaled him to relax: "Tell me in detail."

The young man nodded, and then he said: "Isn't this a winter vacation? Last night I made an appointment with some friends to drink. I didn't leave until about three or four in the morning. I walked home along the lake, almost When I was about to walk to the door of my house, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the lake, like the sound of plastic bottles hitting each other. I thought it was the wind, but I thought it was wrong. There was no wind at that time, so I turned to the lake. I looked over there, and I happened to see a bunch of hair floating on the lake! I was so frightened that I ran home immediately."

Everyone was silent after listening, even Bai Ze didn't wag his tail anymore.

After a long while, Cang Luan laughed softly: "Then you are sure that it is a lake monster?"

"It must be!" The young man was afraid that they would not believe him, so he said, "Someone took a bath in the lake at three or four in the morning. Do you believe it?"

Qi Fanchen asked: "You were the only one at that time?"

The young man nodded: "It's just me, there is not a single ghost around."

Everyone fell into silence again, obviously not believing that he could escape Jiji's big mouth alone.

"Then are we going to catch that lake monster now?" the young man asked tentatively.

Director Ye had hallucinations in his ears: "Us?"

"That's right." The young man nodded earnestly, "After all, I am an eyewitness, oh yes, I haven't met yet, my name is Feng Nian, how about you?"

After getting to know each other for a while, Feng Nian looked at Gu Huai and asked curiously, "Are you here as a bait?"

Qi Fanchen: "..."

It seems that anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is not appropriate.

Gu Huai nodded seriously: "That's right, because I am the youngest, and the master said that I have the most yang energy and can attract ghosts and ghosts."

Qi Fanchen opened his mouth, blocking the unlucky boy's words: "I heard that there were strange noises in this lake before?"

"Ah, yes!" Feng Nian nodded, remembering, "Only a week or so ago, the lake seemed to be boiling at night, bubbling all the time, and it stopped in the last two days."

"There's more." Feng Nian lowered his voice, and continued, "Besides this, I asked my friends to go disco in the city the night before yesterday, and when I was sending Brother Feng home in the middle of the night, I heard that Brother Feng's father was alone in the middle of the night. You're crying upstairs! You're still talking about not killing me, it's like a ghost is on your body!"

"Fuck!" Director Ye felt horrified when he heard it, "Then what about your friend?"

"He went upstairs to have a look and found out that his father was sleepwalking!" Feng Nian shrugged, "Just wake him up."

Qi Fanchen had a strange intuition.

"What you said happened at night." He said, "There are so many people in your village, why don't you seem to take it seriously?"

I just met a few passers-by on the road, and everyone talked and greeted normally, looking like they have been quiet for a long time.

"Everyone doesn't seem to believe in these ghosts and gods." Feng Nian said, "It may be because accidents have happened frequently in other places in the past few years, but as long as nothing happened in our village, everyone feels relieved."

Qi Fanchen frowned slightly.

After leaving Feng Nian's house, the four of them found a homestay in the village.This place is better than the beautiful scenery and the surrounding area is quiet, but there are several Internet celebrity homestays.

This homestay is very large, with a total of six rooms on the upper and lower floors. The living room is exquisitely decorated, and the floor-to-ceiling windows face the small garden outside the house. When the door is opened, there are various green plants.There is a yard outside the door, and there is an open-air hot spring in the yard. Of course, judging from the terrain, it should be artificially boiled water.

At the restaurant, Qi Fanchen ordered takeaway, a large table of dishes, four people sitting around the dining table to feast on.

"I didn't see clearly what the mission was going to do." Director Ye said while eating, "I just said to investigate."

"I find it strange." Cangluan said suddenly, "Ji Ji is a sea monster, and generally speaking, she would not take the initiative to offend humans, because it is difficult for them to survive here."

"I've seen some monsters like this in the north before." Qi Fanchen said, "But most of them sneak up to attack humans in the dark. It's the first time I've seen such a bold one entering the city center."

"Since Feng Nian said that there was movement in this lake before, it has indeed returned the same way." Cang Luan said, "What should we do now, continue to kill it, or drive it back into the sea?"

Qi Fanchen suddenly thought of something, he looked at Cang Luan, and asked: "Before at the bottom of the artificial lake, after you appeared, the monster seemed to be quiet for a while."

"Ah." Cangluan remembered and nodded, "It's trying to talk to me, it's a code, it's different from the shark language, I can only hear a few words intermittently."

"What?" Qi Fanchen's eyes lit up.

"Resentment, mermaid, order." Cang Luan frowned slightly, "I didn't respond, so it stopped talking."

"It recognized you as someone else." Qi Fanchen guessed.

He wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Cang Luan.

"Just a reminder." Cangluan tapped the table lightly with his index finger, as if he knew what he would say next, and said with a smile, "The merman and the siren are enemies. If we didn't clean up these monsters regularly, they would It’s not as simple as just attacking humans.”

Qi Fanchen didn't speak.

"I came to the mainland this time because I was injured by a monster, and I came here to look for something." Cang Luan moved closer, squinting at him.

"What are you looking for?" Qi Fanchen also looked at him.

Cangluan just looked at him and didn't speak.

The atmosphere between the two was delicate, and Director Ye, who had been working hard, finally caught up with their train of thought and broke the delicate atmosphere: "So what shall we do next?"

"Since we went out from here and came back, it means that there should be some surprises at the bottom of the lake." Cang Luan said, "Why don't you go down and have a look later."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was completely dark.

Qi Fanchen didn't let the children follow, but only told Director Ye to wait at the hotel with Gu Huai.

Jiting Lake is no different from the previous artificial lake in the city center. The deepest point in the center of the lake is about four meters, and the water quality at the bottom of the lake is clear and the visibility is very high.After the two entered the water, they went straight to the center of the lake. After all, the water on the shore of the lake was too shallow for Ji Ji to hide there.

Qi Fanchen's underwater actions are not as convenient as those on land. Even though he has many times of diving experience, after all he only has two legs, so it is still a bit laborious to paddle.Cang Luan on the side saw that he was impatient, and stretched out a hand towards him.

Qi Fanchen usually doesn't speak underwater. On the one hand, he can't bear the feeling of the lake water rushing into his mouth, on the other hand, he doesn't want his voice to sound weird.Facing Cang Luan's outstretched hand at this time, he looked at it blankly, not knowing what it meant.

Cangluan smiled helplessly, and said, "I'll take you on a swim."

Qi Fanchen knew that sharks must swim faster than humans, so he only hesitated for a second before handing over his hand.

In the next second, Cang Luan's legs disappeared, replaced by an extremely beautiful fish tail, the whole body was golden red, and the tail fin was so pale that it was almost transparent. He only needed to swing slightly in the water, and Cang Luan took him away. Quick swim ahead!

In the water, he changed back to the appearance he had when we met for the first time, Qi Fanchen felt his long hair floating in the water, touched him somewhere, and made his neck itchy.

He led him to swim quickly in the water, the impact of the water was so strong that Qi Fanchen could hardly open his eyes, and could only stretch out a hand to shield his eyes.Cangluan noticed his movement, took his hand with a little force, hugged him into his arms, pressed his head to her chest with the other hand, and continued to move forward in the posture of holding him.

Qi Fanchen was finally able to understand what it feels like to have water in his head.

It's just that this action is too intimate!

The sound of the water being violently knocked away rang in his ears, and when Qi Fanchen opened his eyes, he could see Cang Luan's skirt and his pectoral muscles under the clothes, which were no different from the one-piece suit that was tightly covered when he was in human form. It was loosely worn on the body, and now it was washed by the water so hard that it couldn't fall off. Qi Fanchen couldn't see it, and stretched out his hand to help him close the skirt.

Before he could let go of his hand, he heard a soft laugh from the man above his head.

Cang Luan swam for a long time before stopping, and he let go of the hand holding him after the two of them landed firmly.Qi Fanchen reckoned that with his speed, he should be more than 500 meters away from the lake.

"I heard its voice." Cang Luan lowered his head and fastened his belt, and said casually, "It's around here."

Qi Fanchen looked around, he couldn't see anything in the water except for a few fish that occasionally swam by.

"It's probably at the bottom." Cangluan put on his clothes, squatted down and touched the sand at the bottom of the lake, then raised his head to look at him, and said, "Go down and have a look?"

"Where are you going?" Qi Fanchen poured a mouthful of lake water mixed with impurities as soon as he opened his mouth, and it went straight to his throat. The lake water tasted very bitter, and he accidentally choked on it.

Cang Luan patted him on the back and said, "There are caves at the bottom of the lake."

Qi Fanchen took the sword out of his pocket, and tapped the hilt on the sand, it was very hard.He looked up and saw that Cang Luan walked forward slowly for a short distance, then raised his right hand slightly, and saw that the piece of sand under his feet suddenly sank, revealing a big hole with a diameter of one meter in the middle!

Cang Luan floated above the cave and waved at him.Qi Fanchen walked to the edge of the cave and took a look, the inside was pitch black, the surrounding sand was still flowing down, and the water temperature at the entrance of the cave was obviously much lower than the surrounding.

Cang Luan went down first, followed by Qi Fanchen.As soon as one foot stepped into the cave, he lost his support and fell directly. Fortunately, Cangluan had quick eyes and quick hands, and hugged him sideways, preventing him from falling directly into the depths of the cave.

The hole was above his head, Qi Fanchen felt his body getting colder and colder.Originally, the water temperature was not high in this weather, and it dropped several degrees here. The dark cave is like a natural refrigerator, and the cold air is everywhere.

After falling two or three meters, the eyes suddenly opened up after both feet touched the ground.There is a cave at the bottom of the cave. A few stone pillars as thick as two people prop up the cave. The layout is not small. It is surrounded by cold rocks. There are a few glowing night pearls hanging on the walls, barely giving a glimmer of light to the dark underground cave.

With such a weak light, Qi Fanchen could see that there was an automatic door in the grotto. When the two walked to the door, the two-meter-high stone door seemed to sense something and pushed open automatically.The temperature of the water gushing out from the door became even colder, and it was even bit bone-piercing to wrap around Qi Fanchen's body.

Qi Fanchen was shocked that there was such a place at the bottom of the lake. The soles of his feet were smooth stones, which meant that it could not be formed naturally, but could only be artificially constructed.However, it takes at least a few months to build such a grotto underwater. Who would be willing to spend this kind of time and effort to build a dark underground cave?

He followed Cang Luan to walk in, the stone gate was very bright, Qi Fanchen looked around, there were transparent glass cases hanging on the wall, inside the case was an oil lamp.He frowned, the little oxygen in the cover can keep the oil lamp burning for so long?

Behind the stone gate was a long corridor, five meters wide, with some complicated symbols and patterns engraved on the stone walls, which looked more like mysterious images to him.Qi Fanchen turned his head to look at Cang Luan, only to see that he was thinking about something with his head down, with an unusually dignified expression.

He still had the appearance of a mermaid, so Qi Fanchen couldn't take his eyes off him, he almost forgot to breathe.

Walking along the promenade for about 1.5 meters, there is another stone gate in front of it. This stone gate has a protruding human face at a height of [-] meters. It looks like a man with beautiful facial features, with a beard and closed eyes. Very solemn.

The two looked at each other, Cang Luan stretched out his hand to press the face, and pushed it in——

The door creaked and opened.

Behind the door, you can see a two-meter-high stone statue.Qi Fanchen couldn't help but widen his eyes, it was a stone statue of a mermaid, and his face was no different from the face on the stone gate just now.His waist-long hair stands up, his bare upper body is muscular, and his lower body fishtail is half hidden in the waves. He holds a trident in his hand and looks into the distance with a serious expression.

Qi Fanchen withdrew his admiring gaze, and saw that Cang Luan had walked around the stone statue and walked to the front.He followed him, and found that behind the statue the whole cavern ended.

Cangluan stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall, not sure if there was a secret door, so he said to Qi Fanchen, "Do you think Ji Ji will be behind here?"

Qi Fanchen tapped on the stone wall with his scabbard, opened his palm again, and slowly groped along the stone wall, shaking his head, meaning there was no secret door.

"It should be right here." Cang Luan looked around, and finally settled on the stone statue.

Qi Fanchen walked over and touched the stone statue with his hand. It was indeed made of hard stone. When he looked closely, he found that the stone statue was carved very delicately. Even the wrinkles on the face were clearly visible, and the degree of restoration was very high.

Only now did Qi Fanchen realize that this is not a crypt built by humans.

Cang Luan circled around the stone statue, and when he walked behind him, a stone brick under his feet suddenly made a sound, and soon, the whole stone statue moved forward!

Qi Fanchen circled to the side, the stone statue moved forward slowly, and the base was exposed, which was empty.

The stone statue only moved halfway, and a group of black things came out from the bottom with a whoosh, and ran straight to the stone gate!Qi Fanchen reacted very quickly, the sword in his hand came out of the sheath, and the hilt slammed into the stone door, closing the door before Ji Ji escaped.

Jiji slammed into the stone door, slid down from the door, shrank in the corner by the wall with a face of fear, and looked in horror at the two people who were slowly approaching.

Qi Fanchen put his sword back into its sheath, and observed Jiji closely.That face was still equally intimidating, the blood around the mouth had already dried up, sticking together with a few strands of hair, looking a little embarrassed.The wound on its head had scabbed over, because of his sword, most of the thick hair on the top of its head was gone, and it looked like it was bald.

Cang Luan squatted down, looked at it and smiled: "Where are those little followers?"

Qi Fanchen saw Jiji's big mouth that was cracked to the ear opened, and made a low sound, like whimpering.He looked at Cang Luan, but he listened seriously, and finally nodded.

Qi Fanchen couldn't open his mouth at this moment, he could only watch Cang Luan's lips moving, as if he was also moaning.

They are talking.

The two went back and forth for a few rounds, finally Cang Luan stood up and gestured OK to Qi Fanchen.Qi Fanchen didn't understand what it meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

Cang Luan stepped forward and opened the stone door.As soon as the door opened, Ji Ji slipped out immediately, and soon disappeared.

Seemingly able to predict Qi Fanchen's reaction, Cang Luan smiled and took his hand: "Go up and tell you."

As soon as he touched his hand, Cang Luan froze for a moment and asked, "Is it cold?"

Qi Fanchen shook his head, waiting for his explanation.

Cang Luan followed behind him, went out two doors in a row, and when he reached the entrance of the cave where they came in, he very naturally stretched out his arms to hug him and led him upstream from the entrance of the cave.After leaving the cave, there was no time for Qi Fanchen to think about it, so Cang Luan continued to take him on a speeding parade.

"Why haven't they come up yet?" Gu Huai looked at the shore of the lake longingly, and whispered, "Will we be scolded?"

Bai Ze shouted twice in cooperation with him.

"We're here to see if they need help." Director Ye said, "Didn't you hear what Brother Bird said, this place is equivalent to Jiji's base camp, who knows what monsters are underneath."

"Brother Bird?" Gu doubted, "What Brother Bird?"

"Look, does Cangluan's Luan character have a bird character?" Director Ye wrote the character for him on the sandy shore, "That's why it's called Brother Bird."

"Then why isn't it called Brother Yu?" Gu Huai asked, "A mermaid."

Director Ye thought it was reasonable, and was about to speak when there was movement on the lake.

The two looked towards the lake together, and saw a column of water rising from the shore five meters away from them. Cangluan jumped up from the water, and the beautiful fish tail shone in the setting sun, like a delicate work of art Rises up from the water, but quickly turns back into legs.

Qi Fanchen jumped up from the lake bank, but the eyes of the two children on the bank were staring at Cang Luan who was walking on the lake, their faces were amazed.

"Brother, you are really a mermaid! You are so beautiful!" Gu Huai was so envious that he could barely speak clearly, "Just now! Long hair!"

Director Ye also opened his mouth wide. It was the first time he saw a real shark, and he realized that his imagination was very lacking.

Only at that moment, he seemed to notice something else.

"Brother." Director Ye stared blankly at Qi Fanchen who came ashore, and asked, "Did you two come up together just now?"

Qi Fanchen: "..."
