I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

I found what I was looking for by the twilight of the aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool.

The black-haired meatball-headed body gradually sank in the water, obviously not unable to make a sound, but it was too quiet.

As if this was just an ordinary puppet without a soul named Xia Youjie inside, he allowed himself to sink into the pile of bones at the bottom of the pool.

I held my breath, endured the suffocation that seemed to burst my lungs, and swam faster to catch up.

Before Xia You was about to fall into the pile of bones, I finally caught up and grabbed him with my right hand, which was still conscious, and then turned and went upstream without stopping.

[...You just caught up? ] Xia You's voice sounded extremely unexpected.

...

if not?Why do you look surprised?

I was dizzy now, my eyes were a little dark, I tried my best to touch my pocket, took out Choubao and handed it to Xia You to signal him to let Choubao vomit.

[what? ]

Oxygen cylinders, oxygen cylinders!I brought an oxygen bottle!

Fortunately, Xia You understood what I meant in the end, and asked Choubao to spit out the oxygen bottle I had brought in case of emergency, and successfully refilled me with a mouthful of oxygen.

The upstream speed was much slower than the downstream one. I just rushed to catch up with the sinking Xia You, so I didn't notice anything strange.It wasn't until now that I started to go upstream that I discovered that there was a suction force under the deep pool, which would pull people down.

From this point of view, the time it took me to swim to the bottom of the pool just now was not too long, but the time was blurred by the empty and dead silence.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt the water pressure on my body gradually decrease. I realized that I slowed down my swimming speed when I got close to the water surface. Instead of directly surfacing, I stayed under the water surface for a while.

Only then did it surface.

After surfacing, my water-soaked hair stuck to my skin, and I shivered, feeling a little exhausted, groping for the protruding stones to support my body.

It's so cold.

Because the surrounding environment was still pitch black, I was a little distracted and didn't notice that at a certain moment, the movement on the water suddenly stopped.

The shadows in the darkness formed a viscous, liquid-like substance, and the movements of the two-headed serpent froze.

Until Xia You's voice broke the silence.

[The domain takes shape. ]

"...what?" My reaction was a few beats slower.

[The student surnamed Fu Hei, his field has taken shape, although it is still a half-finished product. ] Xia You explained, [he expanded the domain in the belly of the double-headed snake. ]

Following Xia You's words, Ugly Bao silently spit out a new flashlight.

I took the flashlight and turned on the switch, and the light beam shot out a light path through the darkness, shining on the two-headed giant snake.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, I saw that the middle section of the double-headed snake's abdomen was propped up, forming a spherical shape. The diameter of that spherical shape was more than twice the diameter of the double-headed snake's body, and it was still expanding.

A black liquid-like substance seeped out from the snake's belly, and the next moment——

The black blade pierced through the belly of the double-headed snake, pierced it, and slashed downward.

The two-headed snake screamed in pain, and began to roll wildly in the deep pool, stirring the water in the deep pool to boil.

In the end, the double-headed snake gradually stopped struggling, and its body began to break apart from the abdomen, falling apart, revealing the semicircular black sphere inside the snake's belly.

The black liquid-like substance on the surface of the black sphere flowed and fell, revealing the figures of four people swallowed by the double-headed snake.

"We're coming out!" Knotweed groaned, and was about to raise his right hand to wave it, but found that the right hand was still holding the knife, so he swung it with his left hand instead.

Like an elementary school student who came back from a hike and said "I'm back" bouncing around.

Then the light blue shimmer reappeared in the collapsed cave, and the water blue jellyfish stretched out its dreamlike body.

"It stinks, it stinks, it stinks!" After Wild Rose came out, she tore the clothes on her body, and let out quite resentful thoughts.

...

With a sigh of relief, I turned on the flashlight and placed it on the protruding stone, leaning my back against the stone wall.

——Anyway, it's really nice not to have to count the ages of the dead children.

Ryoko came back to me, touched my cold skin, and put her cheek on the back of my hand with a worried cry, "Sake, you are so cold."

"I brought clothes, and put them in Ugly Treasure's space." I smiled.

I now find that there is an ugly treasure - it is really useful.

No matter what things can be put into its space, it can be carried with it, and there seems to be no storage limit. Anyway, so many things have been stored so far, and there is no situation where it can't be stored.

In short, it is a good companion for home travel.

Fu Hei on the other side squatted down next to the two-headed snake who was still breathing, and put his palms on the shadow of the water surface.

Those shadows engulfed the body of the two-headed snake soaked in the pool water as if they were alive.And his previous figure of the snake shikigami who was bitten off by the double-headed snake in the middle loomed in the shadow.

"What is this doing?" Wild Rose asked.

"Try to merge." Fu Hei said.

As his words fell, only half of the snake shikigami's body remained in the shadow, and gradually overlapped with the body of the two-headed snake that was also broken in half, overlapping into a vague shadow.

The shadow stretched, twisted, changed.

Morphing to the end, the shape of the shadow is fixed on a snake-like silhouette with two heads.

Fuhei made a snake's hand shadow to summon the shikigami, and the snake shikigami that had been bitten off appeared in good condition.

The newly-appeared snake shikigami has the characteristics of both the original snake shikigami and the double-headed snake that merged into it, and has become a brand new form.Two heads, one black and one white, are spitting out snake letters. The white head has a black curse-seal pattern, and the black head has a white curse-seal pattern.

"Ah, could this be...!"

"Super evolution!" Knotweed and Junpei said in unison.

...

Amidst the voices of the four children, I flipped over to the coat stored in the ugly treasure space and put it on my body, and turned the direction of the flashlight to the exit blocked by the falling stones.

I don't know if everything from here to the exit is blocked by stones. If so, it will take a long time to move stones to clear a way out of the cave.

Although in various TV dramas and movies, when this happens, there is usually another exit leading to the outside in the cave, and this exit is either at the bottom of the pool or at the other end of the cave.

But unfortunately, I just went to the bottom of the pool, and I didn't see any place to communicate with the outside world.As for the other end of the cave... In fact, this deep pool is already in the innermost part of the cave, and there is only one way in.

So we still have to dig a way out.

Fortunately, the skills of the few people here are not slow to dig holes, and the speed is comparable to that of the demolition office. It took about five or six hours to clear a path that can accommodate one person. We were able to leave this place within today. Collapsed cave.

When I walked to the entrance of the cave, I saw the body of Ge Tian who had been bitten to death by a snake before, and thought about taking this body away.

[What's the use of bringing this? ]

"Did you forget about Reef's abilities?" I said.

[...What are you going to do with this corpse? ]

"I plan to let Jiao temporarily absorb this corpse, surrender himself to the police station as this person, tell everything about Shancun, and then let Jiao separate the body after the matter is resolved."

This was probably a path that the conjurer had never imagined, so Xia You didn't realize it for a while, and asked after a while, [Is this useful? ]

"Let's see and talk." After walking out of the cave, I stood on the hillside and looked down at the peaceful village below, "Just in case, I plan to contact some journalists to interview 'Ge Tian' and let Shancun appear in as many places as possible. in the newspaper."

"In short, the bigger the whole thing, the bigger the better."

The curse at the source of the Shuyu River was thus resolved.

After coming out of the cave, we did not continue to stay in Shancun, but set off for Tottori on the same day, and quietly took Maeda mother and child away when we left.

After returning to Tottori, I followed the previous plan, let Jiao merge with the corpse of Shancun villager Katsuda, and turned himself into him to "surrender".

However, after Jiao fused with the corpse, he didn't have the ability to comprehend the human language on his own, he could only imitate the tongue, and I had to teach him how to say it sentence by sentence.

Um...

In this case, things will be a little more troublesome, because I can't say anything except what I teach it... It can only pretend to be a person who suffers from extreme stimulation and has a mental disorder, and can only repeat fixed sentences.

But in terms of results, things didn't go far from what I had envisioned.

'Ge Tian' voluntarily came to surrender, and after 'Ge Tian''s confession, the police followed the vines and quickly found out a series of cases behind Shancun.

Among them is not only the disappearance of Dengben Jiandou.

After all, I was underground in the deep pool, and I saw more than one bone.

In addition to Deng Ben Jiandou and Ma Zhi Yixun, when the police station thoroughly investigated the cases committed by Shancun, it also uncovered several unsolved cases of missing tourists, cases of missing elderly patients with dementia, etc.

With such a little push, the "Shancun case" spread quickly and was reported in the news everywhere, becoming a vicious case that caused a sensation throughout Japan.

By the time the news of the 'Shancun case' had spread, our group had already boarded the plane back to Tokyo.

Ma Zhi's mother and son were also included in this group.

Because if Ma Zhi is a descendant of the curse master, he also has the talent for spells, so how to arrange it in the future depends on the curse master.

The only other problem I have is my hands.

I guess my hand was probably rubbed by the tail of the two-headed snake that day.

For a conjurer, such a touch is probably not painful or itchy, but people's physique cannot be generalized.

I was numb for a long time after being rubbed a bit that day, and it took more than two days to slow down, and with the help of Shunping jellyfish therapy in the middle, my hand slowly regained consciousness.

We parted at the Tokyo airport. Before we parted, I exchanged contact information with the children of Polygonum cuspidatum and the others.

And during this period of getting along, they also changed their address to me from the unfamiliar 'Ibuki-san' to a slightly more intimate name.

That is now...

"Sister Qingjiu, let's go back first, let's go out to play together in a while!" The four of them waved their hands before getting into a car that I was familiar with.

Yes, that is such a title.

I don't know how they got this name. Before that, only my stepbrother Bo Zhirang would call me that.
