"What, they're dead?"

Upon hearing the news, the driver paused from smoking and then he started coughing uncontrollably.

"Ahem, I personally pulled them back to the city. How could they die here?"

Wait, could it be that the person I pulled back wasn't a human, but...

Just as the driver was imagining the countless horror stories she had seen since she was a child, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was staring at her, suddenly laughed out loud.

"No, little girl, what are you laughing at?"

"Uncle, you are too timid, aren't you? I was just joking with you just now, don't be nervous."

With a smile on her face, Lin Xiaoxiao eliminated her suspicion of the driver in her heart.

If a murder really happened here, the driver would definitely choose to refute or cover it up, but all he felt was fear.

The driver was so frightened by a little girl that he no longer had the mood to chat.

"Girl, if you're okay, get off the car. I still have to continue working."

"Okay, then uncle, do you remember how many young people there were at that time?"

Thinking of the reporter mentioned in the case clues, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to find out more.

But unfortunately, the driver was already irritated by her and just tried to get her out of the car.

"Little girl, I've picked up a lot of people, I don't know about the young people you mentioned. Please get off the car immediately and don't delay my business!"

"Uncle, I apologize for what happened just now. I really need this clue. Those people are my classmates. They haven't returned to school yet. I am very worried about their safety."

Putting his hands together, Lin Xiaoxiao pleaded pitifully: "Uncle, I don't want to ask anything else, I just need to know how many people returned to the city at that time, please~"

The driver flicked off the ashes of his cigarette butt and glanced at her: "I don't know anything else. There were four of us when we came, and two when we left. Well, I have to continue my business."

The car door closed, and Lin Xiaoxiao stood on the riverbank where there were no street lights, watching the taillights of the taxi disappear at the end of the village.

"Ling Hao, the information says that the person who reported the case shouted on the phone that there was a water ghost, but then there was no news. Do you think they are still alive?"

After accepting the task, Lin Xiaoxiao obtained more detailed information, including the information of the taxi that the four people were riding in at the time.

But after the test just now, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that the driver should not be the murderer.

"Host, the two people who returned to the city have become mentally ill. The only clues now are this village and this river."

Water ghost?

Seeing that the sky had already turned completely dark, Lin Xiaoxiao and a few others rushed to the scene of the incident.

This is a river bend with slow-flowing water but lush vegetation around it.

Because a report had been received before, the police came to investigate and there was a warning strip tied to the trunk of the willow tree next to it.

"Host, according to the data, there were no signs of fighting at the scene, but a mutant smelled the scent of a mutant here."

Hearing Ling Hao's reminder, Lin Xiaoxiao squinted and looked at the river.

Very clean, nothing there.

After several battles with mutants, Lin Xiaoxiao has gained some ability to perceive mutants.

Although the atmosphere on the river bank was a bit strange, she was sure that there were no mutants living here.

"Host, there is indeed some residual smell here, but it is very faint now."

"Let's go, there are no valuable clues here."

Taking a last look at the dark river surface, Lin Xiaoxiao walked towards the village behind him.

As the night lights came on, the twinkling lights in the village dispelled the darkness.

Rubbing his cheeks, Lin Xiaoxiao put on a fake smile and knocked on the door of the house closest to the river bend.

dong dong dong...

"Hello, is anyone here? We are students visiting. Can we have dinner at your house tonight?"

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Lin Xiaoxiao knocked on the door for a long time, but the door in front of her was still closed, but the family behind her had opened the door.

"Miss, are you looking for someone?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and saw a thin teenager standing at the opposite gate.

Behind him, there was a little girl who was looking at everyone timidly.

"Yes, we came here to play, but we forgot to bring a tent, so..."

In order to match her words, Lin Xiaoxiao also showed an embarrassed smile.

"We just finished cooking, please come in if you don't mind."

Holding his sister's hand, the young man walked into the gate by himself, and Lin Xiaoxiao followed him without thinking.

"Hey, do you trust these two so much?"

In her sea of ​​consciousness, Yu Ji couldn't help but remind Lin Xiaoxiao that after all, normal villagers would not let strangers go home for dinner.

"What are you afraid of? I still have you to help me."

Blinking playfully at Yu Ji, Lin Xiaoxiao skipped into the lighted room.

Because it is a self-built house, the decoration of the living room looks a bit old-fashioned. At this time, a middle-aged couple is sitting on stools and eating around a half-person-high coffee table.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, the plump woman stood up and greeted them: "You guys are all from the city's action team, right? Come and sit down, it's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together."

"Oh? How did Auntie know about the action team?"

In her sea of ​​consciousness, Lin Xiaoxiao tried to stop Yu Ji from making a move and patiently asked her own question.

"What's the big deal? Our child is also a superpower. Someone from the action team came to see him a few days ago and asked him to..."

"mom!"

Hearing his mother speaking without restraint again, Wang Haiyang couldn't help but speak out to stop her.

When they signed the contract, the team members were not allowed to reveal their identities. What's wrong with my mom?

"Hiss, kid, how can you talk to me, your mother? We are all in the action team, this is not considered a leak!"

After glaring at her son, the woman smiled warmly at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Girl, are you here to investigate the incident with the water ghost a few days ago?"

"Yeah, I heard there are water ghosts here, so I came over to take a look."

When she said this, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the woman with a smile: "What? Auntie, have you seen the water ghost?"

"What water ghost? That's all a lie!"

Handing the bowl of rice to Lin Xiaoxiao, the woman waved her hand and said, "My family has lived here for decades and has never seen any water ghosts. It was just those young people who were making a fuss a few days ago."

Speaking of this, the woman's face looked a little bad.

“Those guys are all second-generation rich people with some filthy rich family backgrounds. They insisted on booking our house for a barbecue.

Tell me, we live in this house ourselves, how could I agree? I didn't expect that those people's noses are not noses and their eyes are not eyes.

Humph, I think they were the ones who spread the rumor about the water ghost. They don’t tell a single word of truth!"

It seemed that she particularly disliked those young men. The woman kept talking about the past while serving the rice. Lin Xiaoxiao kept her head down and didn't say anything.

"Auntie, did you see a water ghost a few nights ago? Or was that water ghost just a disguise by you?"
