Chapter 0575 – Too Much
”Hair?”
Why would the fishing line be wrapped with hair?
The fishing man had been fishing for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, at this moment, his mind was completely confused, his eyes subconsciously stared at the fishing line, he wanted to determine whether it was hair, or water plants.
The fishing light slowly sank, and as the light moved downward, the fishing man saw a dark shadow rising.
It wasn’t too clear, only a rough outline could be vaguely seen, no fins, no tail, but it seemed to have limbs.
”A human?”
Filled with only this one thought, the hull of the boat was hit once again, the man completely panicked, he took out the knife he had with him to cut the fishing line, and paddled towards the shore like a madman.
”Pull me back! Hurry!”
He desperately paddled the oars, but the hull of the boat didn’t move at all, and those black hairs with a fishy odor crawled up the hull of the boat.
”What the hell is this?!”
Not only did the boat not move closer towards the shore, it was even pulled towards the center of the reservoir.
The man’s eyes reddened with impatience as he took a look, and he grabbed the bucket next to him, spilling the special bait that had been carefully prepared inside, into the distance, and finally threw the bucket along with it.
No one knew what his bait was made of, but strangely enough, after the bait was thrown, the black hair on the hull of the ship quietly dispersed, and the mass of shadows moved quickly towards the place where the bait was thrown.
”Saved?”
The man grabbed the oars and was about to row toward the shore when, in turning back, he saw a horrifying scene that he would never forget.
At the bottom of the reservoir, a tangle of things that looked like black water plants floated up from below the surface of the water, swarming towards those baits he had thrown out.
”This, so many ……”
With his hands and feet cold and his body trembling, the man no longer dared to turn back, grasping the oars with both hands and rowing towards the shore.
”Help me, help me!”
The things under the water were attracted by the bait the fishing man had concocted and temporarily spared him, taking advantage of this opportunity, the man got out of the trap.
He scrambled to row the boat back to shore and rolled to shore.
Stunned and covered in a cold sweat, the fishing man sat down away from the riverbank, panting heavily.
”You saw the king of fish?” Zhang Dapo was startled by the man’s reaction and rushed to the fishing man’s side.
The man waved his hands frantically, his lips were bruised and shivering so he couldn’t say a complete sentence.
”Say it, what did you see? When you first arrived at the boat, didn’t you say that you were holding a harpoon and that you saw the king of fish just in time to catch it? How come you’re wimpy now?”
”There’s no fish king, what was just underwater wasn’t a fish king!” The fishing man’s voice broke, interspersed with his own gasps.
”Not a fish king? Then what was it?”
”A person! It was a person!” The fishing man shouted frantically, his emotions very unstable.
While he was exchanging words with Zhang Dapo, Chen Ge turned on the bright light on his cell phone and shone it at the small boat.
The special glow-in-the-dark float rolled down in the corner of the small boat, and this fish float was much larger than those on the market, so Chen Ge took a few more steps forward with curiosity.
He saw some black hair-like things remaining on the stern of the boat.
Chen Ge was very bold, the reservoir had just had an incident, and he still dared to stand at the water’s edge.
Looking at the dark water, no one knew if there were any weird monsters hiding down there.
His pupils narrowed, Chen Ge put his hand into the cold water and grabbed the hemp rope.
He dragged the small boat to the shore and fixed it to the stump.
After doing this, he noticed that the fishing man still hadn’t stabilized, and Zhang Dapo hadn’t noticed him.
”It’s a chance.”
Chen Ge pressed the switch on the repeater and jumped onto the boat.
The body shook, and Chen Ge still wasn’t quite used to it.
He picked up the glow-in-the-dark float in the corner, this fish float wasn’t much different from the ones on the market, it was just bigger and looked more conspicuous: “It’s slippery to the touch, the surface is coated with a layer of ointment, and there’s a slit in the center, it seems like it can be disassembled.”
With both hands exerting force, Chen Ge unscrewed the luminous drift, and a faint stench wafted out.
The scene in front of him was out of his expectation, there was a pinky finger stuffed in this fish float.
The wound had already congealed, there were no corpse spots, and it was hard to tell when it was cut down.
”There’s a finger stuffed in the fish float, so what was the bait he used made of?” Chen Ge vaguely understood why the “King of Fish” would only bite this man’s hook, his bait was indeed very special.
Picking up the boat’s rag, Chen Ge wiped off his own fingerprints from the fish float before putting it back in place.
Then he jumped onto the shore as if nothing had happened and walked towards the fishing man with a hint of disgust.
As he walked, the expression on Chen Ge’s face slowly changed, and by the time he reached the man, he had returned to normal.
The fishing man was so frightened that he clutched Zhang Dapo’s arm and was incoherent: ”People! Floating upwards piece by piece like water plants!”
”Send him to the hospital, he’s probably having brain problems.” The fishing man exhibited the same symptoms as those tourists who entered his haunted house unsuspectingly, Chen Ge just casually glanced at him and gave his opinion on treatment.
”Good.” Zhang Dapo managed to help the fishing man up, and the other party also pushed him away, “I didn’t lie to you guys! That’s not a fish king! It’s a human!”
”The King of Fish has become a spirit?” Zhang Dapo had a bitter smile on his face, “Calm down, go to the hospital first.”
”Go to what hospital? I’m not sick!” The man pushed Zhang Dapo away once again, as if he suddenly remembered something, he rushed to the water’s edge, and with a few moments of hesitation, jumped onto the boat.
”What are you still going over there for?” Zhang Dapo was worried about the man having an accident and chased after him as well.
But by this time, the fishing man had already returned to the shore, and he put the special glow-in-the-dark float into his pocket.
”What time is it, you still care about your fish float? Is the person important or the fish float?”
The fishing man didn’t pay attention to Zhang Dapo, after retrieving the fish float, he ran towards the outside of the reservoir, no matter how much Zhang Dapo shouted the man didn’t turn back.
”You don’t even want the fishing rod? This one fishing rod is not worth as much as a fish float?”
”Maybe it’s because there’s some secret hidden in the fish float.” Chen Ge signaled Zhang Dapo to stay away from the water’s edge, “Older brother, do you know what that man’s name is and where his family lives?”
”What do you want with him?”
”I’m also a fishing enthusiast, I want to exchange and learn from him, and return the fishing rod on the way.”
”His name is Yu Qingjia, he has a strange temper, after divorcing his wife, he lives alone in the eastern suburb, I’m not sure of the exact location, I only know that it’s not far from the reservoir.”
After inquiring about the important information, Chen Ge picked up the fishing rod on the boat and directly chased after him.
Zhang Dapo watched Chen Ge slowly disappear in the middle of the night and scratched his head, “This person feels also strange, will he just want to find an excuse to steal the fishing rod? I won’t be cheated, right?”
Chen Ge was physically fit, holding the fishing rod and following the fishing man, keeping a distance.
He suspected that the man was carrying a murder on his back, this was something he needed to find out, in addition, he was curious to know what the man actually saw in the reservoir.
