Ye Lingyue and others took the three children to the mayor's mansion together.

What surprised them was that Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce were also in the mayor's house.

"Why are you?"

Luo Qianche was very happy when he saw Di Xin, but when he saw Ye Lingyue, his tone became unpleasant.

"We came here because of the water ghost incident. Something happened to the parents of these children, and the townspeople couldn't help but say that they wanted to burn down the house and kill people. They also said that this is the usual practice in the town."

Ye Lingyue told what happened.

"Mayor, is this really happening?"

Luo Qianche glanced at the children and saw that they were thin, small, and dirty. What she hated most was dealing with such civilian children.

"Young City Lord, you don't know, but we have no choice but to do so. The water ghost incident is getting worse and worse. I had already issued an order in the town not to go out for fishing. But the father of these three children did not obey the order.

Fight in private

Yu, something happened after he came back. Everyone who came into contact with him died inexplicably. His wife also died a few days ago. Their family was possessed by water ghosts. If they were not burned to death, the people in the town would

People will suffer accordingly."

The mayor looked at the three children with fear on his face.

"We are not devils, and my father and mother are not possessed by ghosts. Our family has no food. My father does not fish, and my brothers and sisters have nothing to eat. My father went fishing for us."

After hearing this, the oldest child wiped his nose and yelled unwillingly.

He was about six or seven years old, the oldest of the three children.

He may not understand the word death, but he knows about the water ghost.

Ever since Dad came back from fishing, the people in the town have been calling them ghosts behind their backs, and the children stopped playing with them.

"It's nonsense. Food rations are not always distributed to every household in the town. How could there be no food?"

The mayor blushed and scolded the children.

"Then you have to ask your good nephew. We have already asked the nearby neighbors. This person uses the fact that he is the mayor's nephew to hoard food and sell it at high prices. He takes advantage of the water ghost incident to make a fortune. He is starving.

There is more than one household in the town, and those townspeople have no food and no money, so they can only go out to fish."

Ye Lingyue grabbed the militia captain and threw him to the ground.

The latter turned pale with fright and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

"This is unreasonable. He is really a dog slave."

When Luo Qianche heard this, he felt very unhappy.

She and Ye Lingyue arrived at Yuliao Town at the same time, but in just one night, Ye Lingyue found out so many things, which made her, the young city lord, very embarrassed.

The power of reincarnation condensed in Luo Qianche's hand and turned into a spiritual dagger, which was about to be wiped towards the neck of the militia captain.

"Wait a minute."

But he saw Ye Lingyue blocking Luo Qianche with his hands.

"Whatever you do, I'll teach my men a lesson. When will it be your turn to take charge?"

Luo Qianche glared angrily.

"It's useless to kill him. In the final analysis, this matter still depends on the water ghost. If you kill a corrupt person and bend the law, the problem of Yuliao Town will still not be solved."

Ye Lingyue has already inquired about water ghosts. They have existed in the villages and towns along the Han River since ancient times.

But I don’t know why it’s particularly troublesome this month. In the past, water ghosts only happened a few times a year at most, but recently almost all the fishermen who went out on their boats were troubled.

Many people have died due to water ghosts in the town.

In some households, because a certain person was possessed by a water ghost, the whole family was treated as a ghost, either burned to death or imprisoned. Like this time, if they hadn't stopped them, the children would have become ghosts.

Already.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Luo Qianche was also dubious about the water ghost.

"It's very simple. To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. Only by finding the water ghost can we truly resolve the crisis in Yuliao Town."

The mayor was shocked when he learned that Ye Lingyue was going to catch the water ghost himself.

"My lords, you must not do it. The water ghost is very ferocious, and there is no trace of it. Earlier we organized militia guards to arrest people, and even hired some monster hunters at high prices, but it was all in vain.

.And after offending the water ghost, the casualties in the town will be more serious."

As soon as the mayor mentioned this matter, he broke into a cold sweat.

At first, he also thought about catching the water ghosts, but as soon as the militia guards arrived in the area of ​​Han River where water ghosts are often haunted, the ship suddenly capsized despite the calm weather.

Those monster hunters also tried to fly into the water to find out.

But after entering that area, the spiritual weapons would malfunction for no apparent reason. Those demon hunters even fell into the Han River with their spiritual weapons, and in the end even the bodies could not be recovered.

As time went by, the incident of water ghosts in Yulia Town became known to everyone, and even the most experienced monster hunters no longer dared to mention catching water ghosts.

Yuliao Town is also becoming deserted day by day.

"That's unreasonable. You confuse us with those ordinary demon hunters. We are just water ghosts. What's the big deal? I am of the blood of the water god, protected by the gods. If I take action, I will definitely be able to capture you." Luo Qianche listened.

The mayor gave him a scolding.

"That's right, the young city lord is protected by mythical beasts, so he doesn't have to worry about ghosts or monsters at all. I'll go with you to the Han River Basin to have a look. We are here to solve the problems for the people of Yuliao Town. It's not like some people who only know how to move.

They talk a lot, but in fact they are greedy for life and afraid of death." Jiang Ce also echoed Luo Qianche.

The reason why Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce are so confident is because of the presence of the Shark King. In their view, the Shark King is the king of the water area, and the water ghosts will not be able to escape if they see him.

Ye Lingyue, Di Xin and others were helpless after hearing this.

Ye Lingyue looked at the Shark King again. His aqua blue eyes, which were originally very melancholy, now looked even deeper.

At noon that day, Luo Qianche, Jiang Ce and others forced the mayor and others to send a boat to the Han River Basin.

Watching the boat sail out, Huang Jun and others still looked unwilling.

"Ling Yue, why were you silent just now? It was you who brought up the matter of catching the water ghost first, but you let them take the lead. If they really caught the water ghost, the citizens of Yuliao Town would

We all need to support them.”

"In my opinion, that water ghost is not that easy to deal with. There is not only one way to determine the support of the people. Let's go to the town first to check on the situation of the townspeople who died for no reason and other people."

Ye Lingyue looked at the wide surface of the Han River with an ominous premonition in her heart.

The water was flowing far away and she didn't know where it was going. She always felt that there was an invisible cold evil spirit on the river surface, which kept spreading, as if something was about to emerge from the bottom of the water.
