Chapter 51 Doesn't Feel Right

  The reason I feel something is off is because there's nothing in front of me.

  But just now, there was clearly a stone carving here!

  In the blink of an eye, the stone statue was gone. Where did it go? It wasn't a real person and couldn't move, but it really disappeared! Vanished into thin air!

  Fan Feng also sensed this and stared at me in a daze. My first instinct was: there's a ghost! So, I didn't care if there were any monsters in the water anymore, turned around and rushed to the opposite side. Fan Feng saw me leave and didn't dare to stay either, hastily following after me. When I reached the other side and looked back, this kid ran pretty fast, splashing water droplets everywhere, and successfully made it across this time.

  I asked Wu Lele if he had seen the stone carving slip away by itself or sink into the ground and disappear. Wu Lele said, "I'll tell you, but you won't believe me - I saw that stone statue turn into a palm-sized person and fly away!"

  Nonsense!

  Are you seeing things?

  I asked Zhong Ling'er if she had seen the stone statue turn into a small flying person, she shook her head and said that she was busy picking up clothes from the water and didn't notice the stone statue. However, before she came in, she did see a stone statue on the opposite side, but when she picked up the clothes from the water, the stone statue disappeared.

  But whether Wu Lele was lying or her eyes were playing tricks on her, the fact remained that the stone statue which had been there just a moment before had vanished. This created an inexplicable sense of terror in our hearts. I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but it was raining outside and we couldn't go anywhere. Moreover, Zhang Yunhao still hadn't been found!

  Fan Feng walked out and came back after a while, like a trapped beast, restless and anxious. I saw that his clothes were all wet, asked him if he was cold, he shook his head, and the sky was getting darker, this cave was also getting darker, I wanted to burn a fire, but now there were only stones everywhere, no wood to burn at all.

  I dialed Zhang Yunhao's phone, and it said the other party was powered off. So I asked Wu Lele, what were the three possibilities you mentioned earlier about Zhang Yunhao being missing? Wu Lele said, one is that Zhang Yunhao evaporated here, two is that he became invisible, and three... Wu Lele nodded towards the water and said: "He's at the bottom of the water."

  "Underwater?" I felt a chill run down my spine again. If he was really in the water, and hadn't come up yet after all this time, would he still be alive?

  According to Wu Lele's three possibilities, Zhang Yunhao is unlikely to evaporate or hide, so there is only one possibility left - at the bottom of the water.

  Could it be that the little guy went into the cave to catch fish in the water, so he took off his clothes and put them on the stone statue, then drilled in with a single follow, and never came up again?

  Wu Lele said that when Zhang Junhao first entered the cave, didn't he call out? Judging from his voice, it seems that he encountered something unexpected.

  Fan Feng suddenly said: "I saw a movie, there was a murderer who liked to kill people and then dismember them and put them in bottles. Could it be that this cave also has a similar pervert who tortures the people who enter to death and throws them into the water?"

  This kid didn't say anything at first, but once he said that, I felt like the whole cave suddenly got a lot colder.

  I said that perverts generally like to torture women, and your girlfriend is also gone, it's likely to be bad news. Fan Feng didn't say a word, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, you could tell he was extremely anxious. I said why don't we call the police, Fan Feng shook his phone and said that his phone had gotten wet and couldn't make calls. I said what kind of crappy phone is this, getting wet and can't be used? Must be a foreign product.

  Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the water, with bubbles constantly emerging from the water and stirring it up. We were shocked, and then, with a splashing sound, two human heads emerged from the bottom of the water!

  We were stunned for a moment, subconsciously taking a step back. Those two looked at each other and then swam towards the shore. I took a closer look, and to my surprise, it was Zhang Yunhao and that Nianian!

  "Hao Ge!" I hastily jumped up and waited for them to swim to the shore, then stretched out my hand to pull them up.

  The two of them were drenched from head to toe, like a pair of drowned chickens. I couldn't wait to ask them what had happened and how they ended up in the water. Zhang Yunhao wiped away the water droplets on his face and waved his hand, saying: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."

  Fan Feng immediately ran to Niu Niu's side, asking her with concern, but Niu Niu ignored him, shaking her head and paying no attention.

  I couldn't help but ask Zhang Yunhao why his clothes were on top, but he was in the water. Was it because someone fell into the water and he jumped in to rescue a beauty? Zhang Yunhao took his clothes back while scratching his head: "Let's talk about it when we get back, oh man, I'm freezing to death."

  I don't know if it's because of the evening or the rain, but the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped a lot. Originally, it was supposed to be hot now, and we were all wearing very little. Zhang Yunhao, being a rich guy, wore a white dress shirt inside and a short-sleeved jacket outside to show off his status. Just now, the jacket fell into the water and got wet halfway through. I reckon he, Fan Feng, and that girl are probably soaked to their underwear. If we stay in this place for too long, we'll catch a cold, so I suggested going to the entrance of the cave.

  As soon as we reached the entrance of the cave, the temperature rose sharply. It was like suddenly walking from an air-conditioned room into a normal room, and our whole body felt a sudden warmth.

  At this time, the night had already fallen, and the sky was raining again. Everything in front of us was gray and misty. Zhang Yunhao looked out of the cave and said it wouldn't work, our clothes were all wet. We either had to brave the rain to go home or start a fire. I said going home in the rain was unrealistic, as we were far from the mountain and it was already late at night. We didn't have an umbrella, and while getting rained on wasn't a big deal for me, the key issue was that the two ladies couldn't get rained on. Zhang Yunhao said then let's start a fire. I asked him what we would use to start the fire, and he said our clothes. Then he came over to tear off my clothes. Of course, I wasn't going to let him do that. Zhang Yunhao said you don't have to take off your clothes, but you have to come with me to gather firewood. I said how can we gather firewood in such heavy rain? Even if we managed to gather some, the wood would be wet, and my clothes were already soaked. Zhang Yunhao said it didn't matter, I had to go with him to gather firewood.

  Looks like this kid saw that my clothes were dry and was unhappy in his heart, so he also wanted to make my clothes wet. What a good base friend!

  I saw Fan Feng and Niu Niu shivering on the side, thinking that if there was firewood, they could still dry their clothes. Having no other choice, I had to jump down with Zhang Yunhao.

  The rain poured down on us like bullets.

  There are many trees on this mountain, and we came to a forest. Zhang Yunhao picked up firewood while saying: "Jiange, there's something I don't know if I should tell you." I said that if you have something to say, just say it, especially after what happened in the cave, you must confess honestly. Zhang Yunhao said that matter can be talked about later, but there is one thing that is really pressing, and if he doesn't say it, his heart will feel anxious, so he took me aside alone.

  It turned out that he called me down to whisper, the intention of the drunkard is not in the wine. I curiously asked him what he wanted to say, and begged him not to make a passionate confession on this rainy dusk, I couldn't bear it.

  Zhang Yunhao said: "Just now under the water, I saw your goddess."

  "What?" I thought I had misheard and stopped picking up firewood, looking at him to ask: "Did you see your goddess underwater?"

  "Not my goddess, but your goddess, Zhong Ling'er."

  I said you're kidding, Zhong Ling'er has been on top, how could she go into the water? Don't try to scare me with horror stories. Zhang Junhao said seriously: "What I'm saying is true, actually there's a very large space under the water, like a corridor, I saw Zhong Ling'er at the bottom, but she found out that I saw her and immediately hid behind a rock, later when I went to find her behind the rock, I didn't see her."

  "Are you kidding me?" I was half believing and half doubting.

  Zi Zhang Yunhao went into the cave, Zhong Ling'er and I were with Wu Lele outside the cave. Later, I and Wu Lele, Fan Feng entered the cave, Zhong Ling'er was waiting outside, but not long after she also came in, because it was raining outside, she didn't even have a chance to get into the water, how could she appear underwater?

  Does she have a stunt double?

  "Has your eyes gone blind?" I felt a chill run down my spine as I stared at Zhang Yunhao and asked, "Didn't you see Zhong Ling'er's spirit instead?"

  "I don't know." Zhang Yunhao looked at the firewood in my hand and said, "We have enough firewood, let's go back." Then he lowered his voice and said, "What I told you, don't tell anyone else."

  Back at the entrance of the cave, perhaps it was because Zhang Yunhao told me that strange thing just now, I always feel that Zhong Ling'er is a bit weird, and she seems to be avoiding my gaze.

  Although the firewood we picked up was wet, after sacrificing Zhang Yunhao's horse jacket and a few paper towels, we finally lit the water on fire. We called over Fan Feng and Niu Niu, and several people sat around the fire. Zhang Yunhao and Fan Feng both took off their clothes to warm up, one with a dark yellow complexion and the other fair-skinned, just like one was Louis Koo and the other was Wu Zun, forming a stark contrast. I originally wanted to tease them about it, but after hearing Zhang Yunhao's words earlier, I felt suffocated in my heart and couldn't say a word. Moreover, when we were picking up firewood earlier, my clothes got wet from the rain, which was very uncomfortable to wear now.

  Everyone else looked just as worried and serious as I did.

  Suddenly, a low and hoarse coughing sound came from somewhere, like an old man's throat. I was puzzled whose voice was so aged. Who was it? So I went to take a look, and with one glance, my heart almost jumped out! There was another person between us!
