C79 Discovered (2/2)
The two men on the shore were pulling on the ropes with all their might while shouting out loud. It could be seen that they were more concerned with the black coffin on the boat than the lives and deaths of these people.
”The items are fine, hurry up and pull.”
The long-sleeved man's voice still didn't contain the slightest bit of panic, as if everything was under her control. This made Tang Rou and I feel a lot more at ease.
The fans in the broadcast room began to complain that their line of sight was not good enough to see what was going on around them. I glanced at the bow of the boat, then picked up my cell phone, paying attention to what was going on ahead as I circled around to satisfy their desire to pry.
The boiling water surface has started to calm down, but it gives off an extremely frightening sensation. A light breeze blows and it makes my skin crawl.
In particular, a comment in the live broadcast room made my scalp tingle.
[I just saw someone in the river. I swear I'm not lying. I've been in compulsory education for nine years.]
[Student Chen Duxiu, please take a seat.]
[I saw it too, standing in the water. The host turned the camera around a little.]
I swallowed my saliva. Before I could reply, Tang Rou suddenly pulled me back.
”Is … is that a person?” ”Why are you floating on the surface of the water?”
Tang Rou's voice was very low, but she wasn't intentionally being cautious. It was as if she had been pressured to the point of losing her voice.
Following Tang Rou's direction, my heart also skipped a few beats.
This was way too scary.
I have seen quite a lot of things up till now. Even if I saw a corpse in the water, I wouldn't have such a huge reaction.
But on the right side of the ship, about five to six meters above the water surface, there was a figure floating there, just as the fans had said.
At this time of night, there was naturally no one at the head of the river. In other words, it was most likely a corpse.
As the old saying goes, corpses in water are afraid to turn their backs on others, because it is easy for corpses to swindle and harm people.
However, this corpse wasn't floating on the surface of the water, but was standing upright in an extremely unique way. This scene could truly frighten a person to death.
I didn't have the time to look at the screen. The corpse was becoming more and more complete in my line of sight.
It looked like the clothes worn by a man had long since been soaked in water. It was impossible to see his original appearance. The muddy ground was littered with aquatic plants.
The man kept his head low and didn't move at all. He was like a piece of wood that was slowly floating out of the water.
Was this the water ghost that had been fighting with the people on the boat?
I intentionally glanced at the man's hand. From such a distance, I couldn't see it clearly, but the man's hand was already swollen from the water. Moreover, it was dark green. It was completely different from the black ghost claw before.
”Should I remind them?”
Tang Rou whispered into my ear.
Because at that moment, the man in the long gown was busy directing the people on the shore to pull the rope, and with his line of sight obstructed, no one discovered the abnormality in the water.
