Mysterious city

After finishing his guard duty, the exhausted Zhang Nan prepared to return to the hotel to change his shift.

But when she entered the room, she found it completely dark.

Zhang Nan didn't pay attention at first, thinking that Yang Ran was finally no longer afraid and had fallen asleep.

So she was very careful when she entered, fearing that she might accidentally make some noise and wake up Yang Ran.

But not long after Zhang Nan came in, and before he had time to change his shoes, he heard the sound of water flowing from the bathroom next to the door.

At that moment, Zhang Nan frowned and told the little girl not to take a bath, not even to wash her face.

I didn’t expect that this little girl would take a bath carelessly even though she knew that there would be danger if she was close to the water source?

But immediately, the experience and intuition of working in the criminal police team for many years told Zhang Nan that something was wrong.

First of all, no matter how much she loves beauty, Zhang Nan knows that Yang Ran is not the kind of girl who doesn't listen to advice and would put her own safety at risk for temporary comfort.

Secondly, the room was pitch dark. How could someone take a shower without turning on the light?

At that moment, Zhang Nan's heart tightened and he swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.

She quietly took out the pistol, then turned on the police flashlight she carried with her, folding her hands.

As soon as he turned on the flashlight, Zhang Nan discovered rows of wet little footprints on the ground. They looked like six or seven-year-old children who had just taken a bath and stepped on the ground with their bare feet.

In an instant, she realized what she was about to face.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Nan kicked open the bathroom door and shouted: "Who is it? Don't move!"

With the dazzling light of the flashlight, Zhang Nan found that the water in the bathtub was full and overflowing, but the shower head still had no intention of stopping and continued to fill the bathtub with water.

Yang Ran's entire body was completely submerged in the bathtub, and he could only vaguely see the foam rising on the water.

"Xiao Ran!"

Zhang Nan shouted, and it could be seen from the water stains all over the bathroom that Yang Ran had been submerged in the bathtub for a while.

If we don't seize the time to pull her out of the water, the consequences will be disastrous.

But Zhang Nan did not rush forward rashly, but looked around with a flashlight.

If the "water ghost" was really here, he might not be able to save Yang Ran if he rushed forward regardless, but he would probably get her in too.

But Zhang Nan looked around twice and found nothing unusual in the bathroom. At that moment, she did not dare to waste any more time and threw herself next to the water tank.

Yang Ran had obviously completely lost consciousness, and there was no response no matter how Zhang Nan shouted.

In desperation, Zhang Nan had to put his hand into the water to pull Yang Ran out of the bathtub.

But no matter how hard she tried, Yang Ran seemed to be stuck to the bottom of the bathtub with strong glue, unable to move at all.

"Damn, why?"

Zhang Nan cursed angrily and increased the strength on his hands.

Just then, she noticed a crimson shimmer on the water in the bathtub.

Under the dim light, Zhang Nan saw a little boy-like guy hiding in the water, staring at her with a pair of hateful eyes.

No wonder she couldn't pull Yang Ran even with all her strength. It turned out that this kid was dragging Yang Ran's body tightly in the bathtub!

This kid's strength is astonishing, completely inconsistent with his six or seven-year-old appearance.

Zhang Nan was horrified. She was just about to separate the body of the little water ghost from Yang Ran, but she found that after being glared at by the other party, her mind went blank.

"Is it possible that we can't look him in the eye?"

Zhang Nan recalled that Jiang Zhe and Yang Ran told her about Xiaopeng. It seemed that this kid had the ability to manipulate people's consciousness.

The last bit of reason told Zhang Nan to move her eyes to the side. After she did this, she felt that her brain, which had just been groggy, became much clearer.

She instinctively took out a pistol from her waist and wanted to shoot the kid in the head, but the kid seemed to be aware of her intention and immediately buried his whole head in the water.

The scarlet light made the shallow bathtub water look unfathomable and visibility was extremely poor.

The kid's body was tightly attached to Yang Ran's body. If he shot carelessly, he would probably hurt Yang Ran.

Now Zhang Nan understood that it was impossible to rescue Yang Ran with his own strength.

So she immediately ran to Jiang Zhe for help. After roughly learning the situation, Jiang Zhe and Li Jun immediately rushed out of the room and followed Zhang Nan.

Zhao Xin followed evasively. In fact, he was unwilling to come out of the room.

He had already seen how scary that kid was, and he never wanted to meet him twice in his life.

Unfortunately, it looked scarier to be alone in the room, which was why he reluctantly came with them.

"You stay away and stand behind me. If anything happens, just support me!"

Jiang Zhe yelled and signaled Zhang Nan and others not to get too close to the bathtub.

The thing happened so suddenly that Jiang Zhe still didn't know the specific situation so far, so he had to keep them as far away from the monster transformed by Xiao Shui as possible.

In this way, if there is any danger, I can still defend them against it.

However, Zhang Nan and Li Jun were still sober. After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, they immediately distanced themselves from the bathtub. They took out their pistols and stood behind Jiang Zhe, with the muzzles pointing in the direction of the bathtub.

Jiang Zhe instinctively wanted to turn off the faucet first, but Zhang Nan shouted: "It's useless, the valve is broken, I just tried it!"

In desperation, he had to use his spiritual power to force Yang Ran out of the bathtub.

But as soon as Jiang Zhe touched Yang Ran's cold body, a sense of crisis gradually rose in his heart.

This feeling is much stronger than when I faced the tiger-level monster Harvey!

He pulled out the compass from his arms and found that the monster level pointer was very close to the "ghost" level.

I didn't expect that this little water demon would become so dangerous not long after it became a demon!

This shows how much resentment this child had in his heart when he was about to die, and how strong his desire to survive was.

Even if they both haven't reached the threshold of "ghost" level, Xiao Shui is still much more powerful and dangerous than Harvey!

Just like the types of desires, the degree of danger and strength of demonized monsters are also different.

People like Xiao Shui who are full of resentment are the most difficult to deal with.

"Xiao Shui, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. You'd better wake up in time and stop killing people!"

"Otherwise, I will have no choice but to get rid of you!"

Jiang Zhe shouted loudly, and as the spiritual power surged in his body, a burst of light blue light appeared on the water in the bathtub.
