Mysterious city

"You mean Xiao Shui, the little boy who drowned a long time ago, wanted to play with you, so he led you here?"

Yang Ran's face turned pale. After witnessing the scene just now, she had to admit that such evil things did exist in this world.

The little boy in front of them nodded, affirming Yang Ran's words, and added with tears in his eyes: "Yes, he wants to kill me, you must help me!"

The helpless little boy aroused Yang Ran's love and affection. She hugged the little kid into her arms and said softly: "Don't be afraid. With your brothers and sisters here, nothing can hurt you."

She was obviously so nervous and scared just now, but now she is pretending to be strong. Maybe this is the power of "protection"?

But Jiang Zhe didn't think things were that simple.

"What's your relationship with that Xiao Shui? Why did he go to such trouble to lead you here?"

That monster could have taken advantage of the boy's family being away and let him die at home without leaving home. Wouldn't it be safer and more secure? Why did it have to lead him here with the risk of failure and exposure?

Wouldn't this expose his hiding place?

Sure enough, the little boy hesitated and spoke hesitantly.

"I, the two of us were just friends before."

"He brought me here because that's where he drowned!"

"He was jealous that I survived on my own, so he wanted to drag me down with him!"

The little boy's explanation seemed reasonable, but Jiang Zhe found that his eyes were a little dodgey, as if he did not dare to look directly at him.

"It shouldn't be that simple, right? Are you sure you're not hiding anything?"

Jiang Zhe stared straight at the child, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

He could tell at a glance that this guy's answer was half true or false.

It is not difficult to infer from his words that he should have been present when Xiao Shui was drowned.

But why is he okay?

But the little boy did not answer Jiang Zhe's question head-on. Instead, he hid in Yang Ran's arms and pondered for a moment before bursting into tears.

"Consultant Jiang, it's a bit too much for you to question a child like this!"

"He was frightened just now, you have to let him relax for a while!"

Yang Ran hurriedly hugged the little boy tighter, coaxing him nicely, and at the same time cast a slightly reproachful look at Jiang Zhe.

But Jiang Zhe ignored Yang Ran. Instead, he gently opened Yang Ran's arms and stared at the little boy with a chill in his eyes.

"Boy, for the sake of everyone, you'd better stop wasting our time. If you don't want to die, tell me the truth."

"Now there are two of us covering you, but you have to have some time alone."

"You don't want to be dragged here by Xiao Shui to play in the dead of night, do you?"

Jiang Zhe showed a sinister smile, and the little boy cried even harder in an instant.

"Consultant Jiang, you have gone too far!"

Yang Ran couldn't bear it anymore and stopped.

But after the little boy cried for a while, he stammered and confessed.

"Brother, brother, if I tell you the truth, can you help me calm Xiao Shui so that he doesn't come to me again?"

The little boy wiped the tears from his face and asked with a choked voice.

Although his body was not controlled by him just now, after listening to Jiang Zhe's retelling and recalling those fragmentary fragments, the little boy also knew that Jiang Zhe was very powerful.

If he could help him get rid of Xiao Shui's ghost, maybe he would no longer have to worry about it day and night.

"I promise you that I will settle this matter, as long as you recruit me truthfully."

After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, the little boy was still worried. It was not until Jiang Zhe made an agreement with him that he became honest.

"Well, on the night of the accident, five of us went to play in the river together."

"Xiao Shui is the youngest among us. Everyone usually likes to bully him, so this time is no exception."

"We joked with him as usual and pretended to invite him to play games in the river. When he came down, we pushed his head into the water."

When the little boy told this, Jiang Zhe felt a chill in his heart. He had already guessed the next direction of the story.

And Yang Ran seemed to realize that something was wrong. She let go of the arm that had been holding the little boy and froze in place.

"Xiao Shui struggled at the beginning, but we felt that since everyone plays in the water a lot, it would be okay to let him stay underwater for a while longer."

"Unexpectedly, after a while, Xiao Shui suddenly stopped moving. He just stayed in the water motionless without raising his head."

"At first we thought Xiao Shui was joking with everyone and wanted to scare us, but after a while, everyone realized something was wrong."

The little boy swallowed and continued with great difficulty.

"When we went over and took another look, we found that Xiao Shui was already dead. His eyes were wide open, full of river water and bloodshot eyes, and his nose and ears were also filled with blood. It looked very scary."

At this point, the little boy couldn't help but shudder.

"What happened next? They all died. How did you survive?"

Jiang Zhe asked sharply. He clenched his fingers into fists and cracked his knuckles.

Half-year-old children are the most terrifying. They have no idea how terrible the consequences of playing without a bottom line will be.

He has a face like an angel and acts like a devil!

"After finding out that Xiao Shui was dead, everyone was very scared."

"The oldest Ergou is also the most courageous. He suggested that we hide Xiao Shui's body."

"They were responsible for lifting Xiao Shui's body out of the water and finding a place to bury it. I was responsible for keeping the body open in case an adult suddenly appeared and saw this scene."

The little boy continued, and the entire incident could almost be replayed in front of Jiang Zhe.

He could even clearly see the tacit cooperation of the children. It was obvious that they had not yet graduated from elementary school.

However, when the division of labor was carried out to destroy corpses and traces, the division of labor was so clear and orderly.

If these children grow up, what terrible villains will they become?

After seeing Jiang Zhe's expression gradually become ferocious and twisted, the little boy stopped and did not dare to say any more, as if he was afraid that Jiang Zhe would not be able to help but beat him.

"Keep talking! If you stop again, just wait for Xiao Shui's evil spirit to find you!"

Jiang Zhe reprimanded him mercilessly. For a child like this who is no different from a murderer, he no longer needs to pay attention to his tone.

The little boy was startled by Jiang Zhe's stern tone, but he did not dare to stop any longer and continued.

"I watched for a while and found that no adults were passing by. I was about to turn around to see how they were doing, but suddenly I remembered Ergou and the others. It seemed that they hadn't made a sound for a long time."
