Principal Xue was originally a member of the Yin Yang Association. After seeing this situation, he realized that something was wrong. This was definitely not an ordinary student disappearance.
So, he found his fourth sister for help.
After listening to Principal Xue's story, I thought for a while and thought that this matter was not complicated. To put it simply, the missing student should have been dragged away by the water ghost.
As long as you catch the water ghost in the artificial lake, everything will be revealed.
I made a suggestion to Principal Xue and asked him to temporarily prohibit students from studying in the evening. All students should return to the dormitory after afternoon classes and cannot go out at will after dark. Exorcism charms should be posted at the entrance of each dormitory building and teaching building. To prevent evil spirits from sneaking in.
After listening to my suggestions, Principal Xue nodded repeatedly and then went to assign tasks.
Lonnie and I went directly to the new campus, preparing to wait until night to find the water ghost.
It was still early at this time, so Lonnie and I took the meal card given by Principal Xue and first went to the cafeteria to have a feast, and then walked around the campus to eat.
After eating in the evening, we sneaked to the library and read for a while, really experiencing the daily life of college students.
The library has a very rich collection of books. I was reading a fantasy book with great interest. Suddenly, Lonnie next to me touched my arm.
"Xiao Chengzi, stop reading. It's getting late."
I then raised my head and glanced around. The entire library was already empty, and not a single student could be seen.
The clock on the wall already pointed to eleven o'clock.
"Let's go, it's time for us to take action."
I stretched, reluctantly put the book back on the shelf, and then walked out of the library with Lonnie.
The artificial lake is located on the west side of the new campus. It is the size of a football field. It is surrounded by walls. There is a large iron gate in the middle, but the iron gate is not locked and a gap is exposed.
Outside the gate is a pine forest. In the past, this was a holy place for lovers to fall in love. However, after the disappearances came out, the entire new campus was in panic. In addition to Principal Xue's instructions, all students came to the place after dark. They all returned to their dormitories, and there was not a single soul in sight on the entire campus.
The pine forest under the dark night also seemed quiet and silent at the moment. The feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making a crunching sound, which added to the eerie feeling.
After getting in through the gap in the iron gate, I first walked around the artificial lake, and then walked along the pontoon to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
This pavilion was built together with the artificial lake and has a history of at least several decades. Standing in the center of the lake pavilion, you can see that the lake water below is very clear and the waves are calm.
According to those students, after they heard the singing that day, they ran over and saw a woman in white in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Therefore, Lonnie and I decided to wait in this pavilion for the woman in white to appear again.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was close to midnight.
"Xiao Chengzi, isn't that water ghost afraid to come out today?"
Seeing that there was still no movement around, Lonnie couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked me with a hint of sleepiness.
"Probably not. After all, we have hidden our auras. The water ghost doesn't know our identities. Seeing two big living people coming to our door, I don't think it will give up easily."
"We will just follow the plan later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark wind suddenly hit him, and the artificial lake, which was originally like a mirror, began to ripple.
Faintly, I heard a low singing voice coming from under the water.
"In the cold night, when the heart is broken and the lungs are numb, how can a person who is attacked by pain understand..."
Lonnie and I looked at each other and couldn't help but become wary.
This song rang in my ears, but when I looked around, I couldn't see a single person. I couldn't help but take out my flashlight and shine it on the water.
At some point, dense clumps of hair appeared on the water, converging towards the Pavilion in the middle of the lake.
After surrounding the pavilion in the center of the lake, the hairs spread along the edge of the pavilion, getting faster and faster. Soon, they entangled my hands and feet and pulled me towards the lake.
I couldn't help but panic, and struggled desperately, but the hairs became tighter and tighter, and soon I couldn't support myself. Before Lonnie came to rescue me, I fell into the artificial lake with a pop.
Under the water, I opened my eyes and saw that I was being pulled closer to the mass of hair in the middle.
When the distance was less than two meters, the group of hair gradually spread to both sides, revealing a ferocious human face!
I don’t know how long this face has been soaked in water, and it has become extremely swollen. A pair of white eyes stared at me, the eyeballs almost bursting out of their sockets, and bursts of evil laughter!
Seeing that the dense hair was about to completely cover me, I suddenly shot out my left hand that had already condensed into a thunder and fire talisman.
Boom!
With a loud noise, hair flew, half of the human face was directly blown off, and the spurting blood dyed the lake water black.
The water ghost didn't expect that I was already prepared. He immediately turned around and fled towards the depths of the lake.
Naturally, I wouldn't give it this chance. I quickly took out the soul-binding rope, put it on its head, and then swam towards the water.
The water ghost had been seriously injured. It seemed that it expected that once it was dragged to the shore, it would be dead, so it tried its best to sink to the bottom of the water.
This water ghost is very strong. I tried my best to pull it out of the water, but to no avail. Instead, I was dragged by it and kept sinking.
At this moment, a furry tail suddenly stretched out from the water and approached my shoulder. I quickly pulled the tail, and then the tail suddenly retracted its strength and threw me and the water ghost directly out of the water.
I squatted on the bank and spit out the sewage several times before I woke up and saw Lonnie squatting next to me, with a look of concern on her face.
"Ni, where's the water ghost? Have you caught it?"
I quickly asked Lonnie.
"Well, it's not over there."
Lonnie pursed her lips and said somewhat angrily.
I followed Lonnie's gaze, and sure enough I saw a dark thing lying motionless on the ground. Then I took a deep breath and felt relieved.
"Xiao Chengzi, you are so bold, you even thought of running into the water to catch the water ghost. If I hadn't suddenly had the wisdom to pull you up with my tail, it would have been dangerous!"
I couldn't help but chuckle: "Ni, it's certainly not difficult to eliminate this water ghost, but we have to find the missing student, so of course we have to capture him alive. Besides, we still have you, so I don't have to worry."
