Chapter 0592 – Unlocking the Underwater Terror Scene

　　In the dark water, the only way to see around was with the light of a flashlight.

　　Chen Ge was getting closer and closer to the coffin-like thing under the drag of the black hair.

　　”How could there be this thing in the reservoir? Was it artificially set up?” Before jumping into the reservoir, Chen Ge hadn’t expected the water to be this deep, the oxygen in his lungs was getting less and less, and his body was already in some discomfort.

　　Swinging the flashlight position, the light shone around the coffin, the black “water grass” fluttered at the bottom of the reservoir, and only after diving down a meter or two did Chen Ge see clearly that it was not water grass at all, but human hair.

　　Densely packed and connected together, Chen Ge’s eyelids jumped.

　　”Wen Wen’s sister wants to take me through the middle of the black hair?”

　　With just this thought appearing in his mind, his body couldn’t stop a cold shiver.

　　The black hair coiled around Chen Ge’s arm, and after the “water grass” at the bottom of the reservoir was removed, underneath was a pale, swollen face.

　　”It’s a woman.” Her eyes were closed, and she was floating vertically under the water, with something seemingly tied to her legs, connected to the coffin.

　　After a cursory look, Chen Ge realized that there was a hole at the bottom of the reservoir, the coffin was stuck in the hole, and those corpses were suspended above the hole, their hair and water plants growing together, connecting into a large shadow.

　　If you wanted to enter the hole, you had to go through the water plants and the hair of the dead.

　　This was the first time Chen Ge had seen such a bizarre scene, probably because the tension intensified the consumption of oxygen, and the sense of suffocation became stronger and stronger.

　　Reaching out to pluck away the water plants and hair, Chen Ge passed by the corpse.

　　The hole at the bottom of the reservoir was very deep, and the coffin was stuck very close to the opening.

　　When Chen Ge entered the cave, the black hair on his fingers loosened, and Wen Wen’s sister couldn’t get close to that coffin.

　　Unable to speak, Chen Ge could only use his hands to gesture, but fortunately, Xu Yin and Chen Ge had worked together many times and quickly understood what he meant.

　　A splash of scarlet appeared under the dark water, and it was as if blood had been dumped into the water. Xu Yin tried to follow Chen Ge into the cavern, but as soon as he got close, strange noises emanated from underneath that cavern, as if there was some kind of monster hiding in the cavern that was slowly waking up.

　　Xu Yin told Chen Ge to withdraw, he sensed that something unknown was hiding in the cave.

　　”Is Wen Wen’s sister’s body deep in the cave, or is it in the coffin?”

　　With water in his ears and breathlessness, Chen Ge was in a bad situation, and he had to make a decision in the shortest possible time.

　　”Open the coffin! If there’s no Sister Wenwen’s body in the coffin, retreat back immediately.”

　　All the ghosts were reluctant to approach the cave, there was definitely a problem hidden in there, and no matter what the reason was, it wasn’t good news for Chen Ge, who didn’t have any ghosts or monsters on him.

　　He often dealt with all types of ghosts and monsters, and usually the only ones that could make ghosts fearful were the more ferocious and terrifying ones.

　　Chen Ge’s diving skills were poor, and he had no choice but to grab those water plants and dead people’s hair next to the coffin to keep himself close to it.

　　The flashlight that Zhang Dapo gave Chen Ge was not the kind of flashlight for diving, and the light flickered and dimmed, seeming like it might go out at any time.

　　The light source was about to disappear, and the feeling of suffocation kept coming, staying underwater for one more second would raise the possibility of an accident for Chen Ge by one point.

　　Grabbing the water plants and corpses with his hands, Chen Ge finally entered the cave, and at the same time, he saw that the corpses’ feet were bound by ropes, and the other end of the ropes were inside the coffins.

　　The ends of the ropes were all inside the coffins, looking as if the things inside the coffins were their masters, holding the power of life and death over them.

　　After spending another second or two, Chen Ge finally grabbed the coffin in the cave.

　　He adjusted his position so that the light from the flashlight could shine deep into the cave.

　　”The man from the Fishing Association saw a large number of water ghosts in Donggang Reservoir, but there are only four corpses near this cave, could all the other water ghosts be hiding in the cave?”

　　The light from the flashlight couldn’t illuminate the depths of the cave, and he couldn’t see what was actually inside.

　　”The appearance of the corpses must be reacted to with the police, it’s better to leave this cave for Team Yan to explore.” Chen Ge was tempted to propose to Team Yan that they drain the reservoir, but thinking about it was unlikely, Donggang Reservoir was located in the upper reaches of the river, connecting to several tributaries of the big river, unless the upstream water veins were cut off, it would be impossible for the water in the reservoir to be drained at all.

　　”Don’t think about that much.” Because of the lack of oxygen, Chen Ge’s brain had begun to be a bit unconscious.

　　When his palm pressed on the coffin lid, a wet, slippery, sticky feeling came from his palm, an uncomfortable feeling, like sticking his hand into the middle of glue.

　　”What’s covering the surface of the coffin?” Chen Ge raised his hand and looked at it, his palm had turned blood red, it didn’t know if it was a kind of red algae or something else, Chen Ge could clearly see that the blood-red thing in his palm would still move on its own, as if it had life.

　　”Whatever.” Chen Ge came to the end of the coffin, probably because his experience in the Living Coffin Village was too memorable, he moved skillfully and knew the structure of the coffin like the back of his hand.

　　With the buoyancy of the water and his own weight, Chen Ge shook the lid of the coffin, and after a few seconds he finally opened the tightly closed lid a crack.

　　The lid was nailed to the coffin, much like the old custom in the old city of Jiujiang, called sealing the coffin.

　　Sealed coffins were rarely seen in folklore, as only those who had dishonored their ancestors would be buried in sealed coffins by their descendants.

　　With much effort, Chen Ge was unable to open the coffin lid completely, and while he was anxious, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils as Xu Yin entered the cave and grabbed the other end of the lid.

　　He intentionally avoided the end of the coffin, as if there was something hidden there that made him uncomfortable and even fearful.

　　With Xu Yin’s help, Chen Ge slowly opened the coffin, he stuck his flashlight inside the coffin, the scene inside this coffin was something he had not thought of before.

　　The coffin was stacked with dolls.

　　It wasn’t the kind of toys circulating on the market, it should have been made by a private person, the workmanship was extremely rough, there wasn’t any trademark on it, but there was a name written on it.

　　”What’s the situation?”

　　Chen Ge’s entire attention was focused on the coffin, “When the black cell phone said fishing for corpses, it meant fishing out these doll dolls? They are the corpses?”

　　As time was running out, Chen Ge couldn’t think carefully and reached into the coffin.

　　But just as he touched the dolls in the coffin, the coffin shook a little, and the ropes that had been stretched into the coffin were straightened.

　　He tilted his head and looked upwards, the four corpses hanging at the four corners of the coffin were all staring at him.

　　The four dead faces, with their black hair intertwined, seemed to be a large net.

　　Chen Ge kept his composure, things had come to this point, there was no going back.

　　He grabbed out the dolls in the coffin with a fierce determination, it was strange to say that the heart part of these dolls was pierced by a rope, as long as he took out one, he was able to drag all the dolls out.

　　While he was dragging and pulling those dolls in the coffin, Chen Ge felt his legs tingling, and it seemed like a school of fish was passing by him.

　　Associated with his current situation, he immediately felt bad.

　　Turning the flashlight, Chen Ge looked down and saw that there were pale-faced children crowded next to his legs.

　　”When did they appear?”

　　As his Yin pupils swept through, Chen Ge quickly realized that these children weren’t even ghosts, they were just obsessions that were about to dissipate, and they had been residing on top of those worn-out dolls.

　　”Could these dolls be replacing a living person? Were there ever so many children who died because of all sorts of things?” The matter was much more serious than he had previously thought, and Chen Ge yanked out the child in the coffin that had been pierced by the rope as he prepared to swim upstream.

　　”Wait.” Without much hesitation at all, Chen Ge forcibly removed the coffin panels, Xu Yin didn’t dare to go near the end of the lid, there must be another mystery on this ordinary coffin lid, he decided to take it back and study it.

　　The corpses hanging at the four corners of the coffin did not stop Chen Ge, this was more like a ritual, as for the deeper secrets one might have to enter the depths of the cave to find out.

　　”This place should also be the layout of the black hand behind the eastern suburbs, it’s safer to find Huang Ling’s husband and ask him personally than to enter the unknown cave.”

　　Chen Ge had an advantage as a person, he rarely went for things he wasn’t sure of.

　　Under the protection of Xu Yin and the tank ghosts, Chen Ge grabbed the coffin lid and the ropes tied to several dolls dolls and walked through the black hair and water plants.

　　Surfacing, Chen Ge took a deep breath as he threw all the dolls and coffin lids onto the boat, then used his last ounce of strength to climb onto the boat.

　　A slight vibration came from a certain direction of the boat, Chen Ge lifted the clothes covering it and saw the screen of his black cell phone become bright as he received a new message.

　　”Lucky Knightly Ghost Favored One, congratulations on completing the two-star trial quest – Twin-born Water Ghost! Successfully unlocked the underwater horror scene!”
