Chapter 16 Ghost Town

I don't know if it's because of the "waterproof raincoat", but Su Ji didn't find it difficult to breathe underwater.What surprised him even more was that the underwater world in the fountain pool was much cleaner, wider and brighter than he thought.

Looking at the endless azure blue in front of him and the white light in the distance, he froze.

This area of ​​water is nothing like a small fountain pool can do.

After sighing for a moment, Su Ji didn't dare to delay any longer and just continued to swim forward.Instinctively, he felt that there might be the answer he wanted to know in the white light in the distance.

All the way down towards the distant light, the surrounding water becomes deeper and darker, like a bottomless deep sea.At the same time, Su Ji also felt some chest tightness and shortness of breath, but he didn't dare to stop at all.He clearly knows that the last straw that breaks the nerves of a person's reason is fear.Once fear arises, it will quickly occupy your nerves like a virus.

Just like that, Su Ji swam forward tirelessly, and after an unknown amount of time, the surrounding pool water gradually turned back to the azure blue he saw before.And the water pressure that oppressed his body gradually disappeared.

The white light that was originally out of reach gradually approached him.The light is as fine as dust, like clouds, like fog, like dreams and illusions, like a dense and flowing galaxy, shining in this clear blue.

Subconsciously, Su Ji stretched out his hand to try to touch the jade belt-like light.Suddenly, there was an inexplicable suction from the fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ji felt as if his whole body was being pushed by something, and the unexpected weightlessness engulfed his whole body instantly.He didn't even have time to panic, and the whole person suddenly floated up.

"Candied haws! Sweet and sour candied haws! Two pieces a bunch!"

“Freshly baked steamed cakes…”

After experiencing the boundless silence, in a trance, some noisy sounds suddenly came from his ears.

Yelling?How can there be shouting here?

Su Ji hesitated, and then pushed aside the thin and transparent water curtain in front of him.

"Whoa..."

With the sound of splashing water, he sat up from the pool quickly.

Seeing the intact building in front of him, the crowds and small vendors coming and going, Su Ji blinked.

Here...is the square?

After being surprised for a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, his previous thoughts were correct, and there is indeed another world under this pool.If he guessed correctly, everything he sees now is either a phantom mirror, or the outer world opposite to the inner world, or the outer real world.

However, he prefers the former.

Su Ji glanced at the intact town government building diagonally opposite, then stood up and stepped out of the pool.

His behavior naturally attracted the attention of passers-by on the road. It seemed that no one expected to get out of the pool, and people around him cast surprised glances at him.

Even though people were watching, Su Ji remained calm.Seeing him smiling at the group of people in apologetic manner, he said, "I was hit by someone just now, and I accidentally fell into the pool. I'm sorry to make everyone laugh."

Su Ji has a handsome appearance, and the slightly drooping corners of his eyes make him look innocent and pitiful, so almost no need for him to say anything, the group of people in front of him can't help feeling sympathy and pity for him.No one questioned whether what Su Ji said was true or not.

After all, how could such a gentle and delicate handsome man lie and deceive others?And who would run to play in the fountain pool?Not a child.

The first impression was preconceived, so that they all ignored the slightly abrupt raincoat on Su Ji.Some well-wishers even reached out to ask him if he needed help.

After finally meeting a new NPC, Su Ji naturally would not let go of this opportunity to inquire about the news.

He smiled gratefully at the other party: "Thank you, I really need help."

As he said that, he took out his empty pocket and said with a wry smile, "I lost my mobile phone. Maybe I accidentally dropped it on the road just now. Can I borrow your mobile phone to make a call?"

Hearing that, he conveniently and readily lent out his mobile phone.After thanking the other party, Su Ji dialed a series of numbers relying on his own memory.

After a few beeps, a soft female voice came from the other end: "Hi, this is Wutong Town Government, may I help you?"

"I want to find the mayor."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No." Su Ji said very calmly: "But I have something urgent to find him. Please tell him, this matter is very important, and it is related to the safety of the entire town."

Upon hearing this, the voice on the other end of the phone paused, and then said: "Please wait a moment."

After a while, the voice on the other side continued: "I'm really sorry, sir, the mayor went out an hour ago."

Su Ji frowned, "Excuse me, do you know where he went?"

"Orphanage. Today is Children's Day. The mayor said earlier that he would donate tables and chairs to the children. They should be there now."

On June 6st, donate tables and chairs.

Capturing the two key words of Dao, Su Ji's heart tightened suddenly.

The fire broke out today.

Before he had time to say anything more, Su Ji hung up the phone in a hurry.

On the side, the passer-by who kindly lent Su Ji's cell phone was worried after hearing what he just said on the phone, "You called just now and said that something is very important, related to the safety of the town... What is it? ?”

Su Ji smiled, "I said it casually, don't worry about it."

After returning the mobile phone to the other party, he borrowed some money from the other party, and then quickly stopped a taxi and ran towards the orphanage.

Although he kept urging the driver along the way, when he arrived at the orphanage, there was already a fire in front of him.In the sky covered by billowing thick smoke, a huge black hole is greedily devouring the souls of these victims.

After all...it was a step too late.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Ji couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Everything you just saw is what I have experienced in the past."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside my ear.Turning his head, the driver next to him unexpectedly turned into Daniel!

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. What you see now is only my remaining consciousness here, the real me is not here."

Speaking of which, Daniel closed his eyes slightly, "Actually, you should already know, right? I am the director of the orphanage."

Su Ji stared at him intently: "What's going on?"

"Why are you still alive in the fire that year? Does the fire planned by the mayor have anything to do with you?"

Hearing his barrage of questions, Daniel lowered his head slightly, with unbearable pain on his face, "It was Children's Day, I got up early in the morning and went to the town to buy snacks for the children, but I didn't expect to go to the town to buy snacks for the children. It's farewell."

Looking at the sad old man in front of him, Su Ji pursed his lips, "Then why did you lie to us? You obviously didn't die."

"That's not what I said." Daniel shook his head, "You were deceived."

cheated?

Hearing these remarks, Su Ji was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The power of the evil god is staring at me like a shadow. I can't tell you everything. I can only tell you that I tried to stop it, but failed. My body was also occupied by the evil spirit. I I tried to resist but couldn't do anything."

"After the fire, the power of the evil god gradually eroded the entire town. As outsiders, the longer you stay, the greater the risk of being assimilated."

After speaking, he took out a Bible from his pocket and handed it to Su Ji, "I don't have much time. Take this Bible and go back, God will bless you."

Looking at the old bible whose cover edge had been frayed until it became curled up, Su Ji froze, feeling a little puzzled about the other party's intention for a while.

"Since God has chosen you, I believe you will be able to save this town."

After speaking, Daniel raised his eyes and gave him a deep look, "Be careful of everything here. Otherwise, you may become sacrifices to evil gods."

After leaving such specious words, the person in front of him instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated in the air.

At the same time, everything in front of Su Ji began to distort and collapse.Just like when the end is approaching, the fire burned, the buildings collapsed, and thick smoke and mist invaded, covering the whole town in boundless darkness.

At this moment, the Bible in Su Ji's hand emitted a dazzling white light, just like the light he saw in the fountain pool, but brighter and more dazzling.Being blinded by the light, Su Ji raised his hand to block it, and then the familiar feeling of weightlessness reappeared.

With a heavy "plop", Su Ji fell into the water again.Protected by the waterproof raincoat on his body, he opened his eyes cautiously, and the Bible in his hand emitted a soft current light, like a guiding light that lit up the deep and dark bottom of the water.

Following the direction pointed by the light, Su Ji swung his arms and swam towards the blue in the distance.

Leaving the water again, before Su Ji could get out of the pool, Shao Feng's surprise voice came from beside his ear: "Thank God! Su Ji, you finally came out!"

Turning his head, his two companions were lying on the edge of the pool and looked at him with a relieved expression.

Seeing Shao Feng's frightened expression, "Seeing that you haven't come out for so long, I thought you were drowning."

"Yes." Xu Hui nodded, "If you don't come out again, the two of us will go down to get you."

"I am fine."

Waving his hands and standing up, Su Ji glanced at the tentacle monsters lying all over the square, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You guys did all of this?"

Hearing this, Shao Feng's eyes rolled, and a smug smile suddenly formed on his face: "That's right, my partner with Sister Xu is easy..."

Xu Hui glanced at him before she finished speaking. Seeing this, Shao Feng immediately closed his mouth peacefully like a monkey monkey wearing a magic spell.

Xu Hui explained: "Don't listen to Xiao Shao's nonsense. The two of us alone can't deal with so many monsters."

"Not long after you jumped into the pool, the water in the pool started to glow white, and then the monsters suddenly seemed to be out of control. Before either of us had time to do anything, they fell over by themselves. In Not long after that, you came out."

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Su Ji subconsciously looked down at his right hand.

The Bible that Daniel had slipped into him was still there.Even after soaking in water for so long, the Bible is still intact.At this time, the light on the Bible has completely disappeared.It went back to its original, unremarkable appearance.

Glancing at the Bible in his hand, Xu Hui asked, "This is..."

"Daniel gave it to me."

"Daniel?" Shao Feng suddenly widened his eyes and looked puzzled.

Xu Hui on the side also frowned, "Xiao Su, since Daniel gave you something, how dare you take it? Are you not afraid that he will harm you?"

"You worry too much." Su Ji shook the Bible in his hand, "The reason why those monsters dare not approach is probably because of this thing."

"The white light you just saw in the pool is what this Bible does. It can be said that the monsters would not have fallen without it."

Hearing this, the two were even more confused.

Shao Feng was puzzled, "Isn't Daniel a bad guy? How could he help us? You must have made a mistake, right?"

Xu Hui didn't understand either.After all, this Daniel was lying from beginning to end.Even though he is the dean of the orphanage, he deliberately concealed his identity, and even let Li Gang and the others die on their own initiative. It doesn't look like a good person.Now that it's all over again, it's really confusing.

"I thought so too. But now it seems that things may not be what we thought."

Rubbing the slightly rough cover, Su Ji raised her slightly drooping eyebrows, "I have a guess."
