"Gazi Village, I seem to have heard of this place."
Qin Fen muttered to himself, suddenly recalling that when he drove a taxi, he took guests to this place.
Gazi Village is a village under Ping'an City.
The village is about an hour's drive away and is very easy to come and go.
"I remember that there are several large ponds around Gazi Village.
Many people in the village have made a fortune by raising fish.
It is a quite wealthy village.
Could it be that the water ghost mentioned in this mission appeared in those large ponds?
"Li" Qin Fen thought to himself and began to weigh it in his mind.
Regarding water ghosts, he has heard some rumors.
For example, someone encountered a water ghost while swimming and was dragged into the water and drowned.
There was also a water ghost that overturned a fishing boat.
Some people even described it vividly.
Water ghosts are water monkeys.
It is a very strange water monster.
However, although there are many rumors, no one has actually found the whereabouts of the water ghost, or taken a photo of the water ghost.
Everything about the water ghost is only passed down by word of mouth.
If it were Qin Fen in the past, he would definitely not believe this, but now Qin Fen's three views have been completely overturned by the second world, so he has no doubts about the existence of water ghosts at all.
But how to get rid of this water ghost made Qin Fen a little confused.
Because he couldn't determine what kind of existence the water ghost was, he naturally didn't know where to start.
"Should I accept this mission?"
Qin Fen was a little hesitant.
At present, this mission is obviously a category that he is more interested in.
After all, it may involve the second world.
Compared with several other messy missions, this is considered The only one suitable for Qin Fen at the moment. ogt But the problem is that Qin Fen is not absolutely sure that he can get rid of this so-called "water ghost".
If he takes over the task but fails to complete it, his contribution points will be deducted according to regulations.
Qin Fen's current contribution points are still zero.
If his contribution points are deducted again, it will become a negative number, and it may even affect his status as a fifth-level employee.
Of course, what he cares about is not this identity, but the tasks that this level can access.
If he falls out of this level, it will be even harder to receive suitable tasks.
"It's better to go to Gazi Village to find out the situation first, and then make a decision."
Qin Fen made up his mind and closed the virtual screen.
Anyway, this mission has just been released, and it is estimated that no one will take it for a while.
After all, accepting a task is equivalent to assuming responsibility.
If you fail to complete it, your contribution points will be deducted.
The company made this setting to prevent someone from randomly accepting tasks and affecting the completion rate of the task.
Looking at the time, it was only half past two, which was enough time for a trip to Gazi Village.
So Qin Fen put on his watch, went out to get money, and then stopped a taxi and went straight to Gazi Village.
Sure enough, an hour later, Qin Fen arrived at Gazi Village, paid and got off the bus.
He was immediately attracted by the rows of villa-like houses.
Gazi Village is already wealthy, and coupled with the country's policy of building a beautiful new countryside, the living conditions and living standards of the entire village are very high, just like a paradise.
Of course, if you weren't wealthy, you wouldn't be able to easily spend 300,000 to find someone to get rid of the "water ghost".
Qin Fen was not in a hurry to go to these village houses to find local villagers to inquire about the situation.
Instead, he walked towards several large ponds near the village.
There are nine large ponds around Gazi Village, which the locals call the "Nine Waters Divine Ponds".

It is said that in the earliest times, there was only a large pond in this place, and an injured dragon was hidden in it.
Later, the dragon recovered from his injury.
When he left here, he was grateful for the care given to him by the villagers, so he sprinkled eight dragon saliva, that is, The dragon's saliva turned into a large pond after each saliva fell to the ground, so there were nine ponds.
From then on, regardless of drought or floods, the water in these nine ponds has always remained the same, neither more nor less.
Moreover, the fish, shrimp, crabs and other aquatic products raised in these nine ponds have very good meat quality.
It is good and the best food.
Thanks to this blessing, local villagers can survive any natural disasters safely.
The villagers are grateful for the care of the Dragon God.
Every February, on the day when the dragon raises its head, the whole village will go out to hold worship ceremonies in the nine ponds.
Of course, this is still a legend after all, without any evidence.
Qin Fen only heard it from the passenger who went to Gazi Village.
He didn't care whether there was a dragon hidden in the Jiushui Shendang.
What he cared about was that What is the situation with the water ghost?
Qin Fen came to one of the large ponds.
The pond was really not small in size, and it did not lead to an external river.
It existed.
At first glance, it was sparkling and beautiful.
Some willow trees were deliberately planted beside the pond.
The branches swayed in the wind, and the new green leaves were full of vitality.
But such a beautiful picture was ruined by dead fish floating on the water.
Although the number of these dead fish is not large, compared to the size of the pond, it is nothing at all, but it brings a sense of death to the pond.
Qin Fen stared at the dead fish for a few times, frowned slightly and muttered: "Why are these dead fish so shriveled, as if they have been drained dry?"
Under the fluctuation of the water flow, almost all the dead fish were pushed to the edge of the pond.
Qin Fen reached out to pick up a dead fish, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and his frown deepened.
He pinched the fish head and pinched it lightly.
The whole fish head turned into powder and fell from his fingers.
"How could this happen?"
Qin Fen was a little confused.
If the fish was dried in the sun, it would not be powdered.
What's more, the dead fish were soaked in water.
How could they not absorb water?
It is as dry as it is now, without any trace of moisture.
"It seems that this pond is really weird.
I don't know if the other ponds are like this."
Qin Fen threw away the dead fish and walked towards another pond.
As a result, Qin Fen encountered the same situation again in another pond.
There were still a certain number of dead fish floating on the water, and these dead fish were also shriveled, like mummies.
Even if they were soaked in water, they could not increase their moisture. .
Qin Fen kept walking and walked through the remaining seven ponds.
Then he stopped at the last pond and began to think.
After visiting all nine ponds, Qin Fen found that the situation in each pond was the same.
There were dead fish, and these dead fish were shriveled and turned into powder after a pinch.
This was obviously abnormal.
Although Qin Fen didn't understand what caused this, he had a vague feeling that it had something to do with the so-called "water ghost".
While I was thinking about it, an old man carrying a net bag and a bucket came over from a distance.

He should be a local villager.
When the old man came closer, he saw Qin Fen standing by the pond and said hurriedly: "Young man, don't stand so close.
Be careful and fall into the pond.
This pond is not very peaceful."
"Thank you for reminding me, but I can swim and my water skills are pretty good."
Qin Fen said with a smile.
"That's useless.
In the past, when summer came, the young people in the village were willing to come and soak in the Nine Waters Divine Pond to cool off.
But now everything has changed.
Everyone wants to stay away from these ponds, even a half-hearted person like me.
Only an old man who has his feet in the coffin dares to get close."
The old man shook his head and sighed, then removed the net bag, held the long handle, and started to fish out the dead fish along the edge of the pond.
Qin Fen's heart suddenly moved.
He was about to find someone to ask about the situation.
Now was a good opportunity, so he curiously said: "Uncle, I don't understand what you are saying.
Could it be that this pond has become a forbidden area?"
But I see there’s nothing else in these ponds except dead fish.”
"Haha, it's almost a forbidden area."
The old man shook his head helplessly while busy.
When Qin Fen saw this, he took the initiative and said: "Uncle, you have aroused my curiosity.
How about I catch these dead fish for you?
You can rest a while and tell me about it."
The old man was startled, turned to look at Qin Fen, and then said: "You are a young boy, you are not a reporter.
A while ago, a reporter came to interview, but now it has been a long time, and the reporters are no longer interested."
"Look at my age, I'm not a reporter, I'm still a student.
I came here to play today, and I happened to see these dead fish, and I was a little curious."
Qin Fen said with a smile.
"Okay, it's rare for a young boy like you to be sensible, so I'll tell you something."
The old man was happy to be lazy, and handed the net bag in his hand to Qin Fen, and took out a cigarette himself.
He started pumping loudly.
"Uncle, I think these dead fish are a little abnormal.
They are shriveled.
How could a fish soaked in water become like this?
And I just picked one up and it turned into powder after rubbing it.
This is too strange.
"Qin Fen asked while fishing.
"It's not surprising.
Ever since the water ghost appeared in this pond, there have been dead fish and dead shrimps every day.
Although the number each time is not too much, over time, it is enough to kill the fish in these ponds.
The shrimp is dead."
The old man blew out the smoke and sighed.
Sure enough, there are water ghosts Qin Fen's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Uncle, aren't you kidding me about where the water ghost came from?
Aren't they all feudal superstition?"
"Hey, feudal superstition is only said by people who don't believe it.
Modern people pay attention to science in everything, but if science works, there won't be so many unsolved mysteries."

The old man curled his lips and said.
"According to what you said, could it be that this water ghost has appeared before?"
Qin Fen asked.
"I haven't shown it completely, but someone in the village was frightened by this water ghost when they were sitting on a fishing boat in the pond.
Unfortunately, they only saw a vague shadow in the water, with a lot of long hair.
Those hairs caught the fishing boat and almost capsized it.
Fortunately, he ran quickly, otherwise the man would have died at that time.
Later, many people in the village saw him, including me once from a distance.
"The old man puffed out smoke and said sadly.
"So, the dead fish in the water were all caused by the water ghost," Qin Fen said.
"Yes, it was this water ghost who did it.
If it weren't for this water ghost, who would have the ability to turn the living fish in the water into dead ones, and still die like this?
This is all evil.
Alas, but The people in the village who are contracted to raise fish in ponds have suffered a lot.
The fish sold well last year and they have increased their investment this year, but if something like this happens, they will lose everything."
The old man sighed.
Qin Fen sensitively discovered that the old man mentioned last year and this year in terms of time.
He immediately asked: "You mean, there was no such water ghost last year, and it is only this year?"
"Yes, I don't know if the Dragon God has abandoned our village.
There have been no problems in the past so many years, but there is a problem this year."
The old man sighed again.
The old man threw away the cigarette he had finished smoking and lit another one.
He took a few puffs and then said: "This water ghost appeared on the Dragon Head Festival this year.
There is a tradition in our village.
In February On the day when the two dragons raised their heads, they wanted to come to the pond to worship the dragon god.
But while they were worshiping, the pond suddenly started to fluctuate, and then dead fish floated up, one after another.
The whole village was dumbfounded and thought It’s unlucky, but I didn’t expect that the situation would become more and more serious, so much so that everyone was avoiding the Nine Waters Sacred Pond.”
"Then I haven't thought of a way to check the situation or call the police."
Qin Fen said.
"We have already thought of ways.
The villagers brainstormed and thought of countless ways.
They even sent people to search the water, but the people who went into the water almost lost their lives.
After that, no one dared to go into the water anymore.
We also invited Some experts came, but they couldn't explain it at all.
As for calling the police, of course we reported it, but the police couldn't do anything about it and thought it was feudal superstition.
Qin Fen thought to himself, if you call the police and report that there is a water ghost in the pond, of course the police will not be able to deal with it.
"Then let this water ghost stay in the water now?"
Qin Fen said.
"What else can we do?
Those fish farmers in the village are going crazy with worry, but there is no way."
The old man spread his hands and said.
"You can drain the water from the pond.
As long as the water is drained, it will be clear what the hell is going on," Qin Fen said.
When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Young man, you don't know the situation of our Nine Waters Divine Pond.
No matter drought or flood, the water level of our Nine Waters Divine Pond will not change.

I have been here before Water conservancy experts and geological experts, according to their research, there are hidden waterways at the bottom of these nine ponds, leading to large rivers.
Therefore, no matter what method you use, it is impossible to drain the water.
The water will rise as much as you pump it.
It’s no use.”
Qin Fen frowned.
Hearing what the old man said, ordinary people really had no way to deal with the fruits in the pond.
No wonder they were so sick that they sought medical treatment.
They found an all-purpose agency and offered a price of 300,000 yuan. .
After understanding some basic information from the old man, he had almost fished out the dead fish in the pond, so he said goodbye to the old man and pretended to leave.
But when the old man was carrying the bucket and net bag to the next pond, he came back and stood by the pond for a moment, then suddenly took off his clothes and plunged into the water. s: Thanks for the tip from brother Mei Xingfen
