Chapter 105 Water Monster?
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Xiao Xiao looked out the window. Pipa Ghost was still there. When he saw him looking over, the corners of his mouth, which had not been restrained to begin with, widened a little, and even his eyes popped out again. His eyes were brown, and the whites were bloodshot.

It was clearly a scary face, but Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Haha~"

……

"Boom boom~" the bus started.

The figure of the Pipa Ghost was getting smaller and smaller.

Xiao Xiao seemed to see it walk in front of a couple who had just come to wait for the bus, and began to play seriously.

Pricking up his ears, Xiao Xiao seemed to be able to hear a few faint syllables floating over with the breeze.

No matter how many times you listen to the Pipa Ghost's Pipa, it is still so melodious and beautiful.

……

A monster could actually learn human musical instruments so well. No matter how Xiao Xiao thought about it, he still found it magical.

Today he met a monster that could play the pipa, and listened to the pipa music it played for him. It was an interesting and strange experience.

Even though it only likes to make faces, it won't hurt anyone. Just as its appearance suggests, it is a monster with the heart of a teenager.

……

Let’s listen to this beautiful pipa music again next time.

"Is that right, Feifei?"

"Coffee~"

……

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Xiao quickly changed the fish tank for the pearl beetle and the emperor black light.

"Third brother, why are you more exaggerated than the youngest brother?"

"Exactly. How do you know the mice have touched your fish tank? Aren't they all running around on the floor?"

"They can't climb up such a high table, right?"

Haha, how did he know? He saw it with his own eyes!

Why can't they climb up? Those mice are very agile.

Xiao Xiao went closer to take a look at the new fish tank. The Emperor Black Light Fish adapted well and soon began to swim briskly, wagging its tail. As for the most important Beaded Fish, well, it had its eyes half-closed and looked lazy as usual, so there should be no problem with it either.

It is said that although the pearl fish is full of treasures and can spit out pearls from its mouth, it should be extremely precious, but it is not difficult to raise at all. It is really rare.

The price-performance ratio of this pearl fish is really high.

Whenever Xiao Xiao saw it, his mood became very bright, and his eyes were filled with big, round, sparkling pearls.

Immersed in beautiful fantasies, Xiao Xiao looked at the beaded fish with a dull look. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Xiao was just staring at the fish tank in a daze.

"Third brother, you haven't killed this fish yet?"

"That's right. When I raised goldfish and hermit crabs before, they all died after a few days."

"Third brother, why don't you buy another fish to keep it company? It's a waste to have such a small fish in such a big fish tank, right?"

"But the price of this fish of Lao San is equivalent to dozens of others. This is called winning by quality."

"But, Third Brother, why did you buy such a big fish tank? Just for a small fish like this? Don't you think it takes up too much space?"

"How about buying a few cheaper ones and putting them in there?"

"No, one is enough."

Of course, the reason I bought such a big fish tank is because of the beaded fish.

The fish he raised were pearl beetles, and he was very clear about this.

One fish is enough to deceive people.

……

This is just a small talk in the dormitory. Besides, it is a bit strange to keep a small fish in a big fish tank, but if this small fish is quite valuable, it is another matter.

Zhang Bo and the others just said it casually. Since Xiao Xiao didn't want to raise a few more, they didn't care.

……

"Hey, have you heard about it?" Zhuge Yun asked mysteriously.

"What?" Zhang Bo asked casually.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Lu turned his gaze away from the emperor's black light, looking confused.

Xiao Xiao is studying the belly of the pearl fish. Is it so lazy because it wants to cultivate pearls? There should be pearls in its belly now, right?
Because he didn't know when this pearl beetle last spit out pearls, Xiao Xiao could only stare at it every day. During this period, the last thing Xiao Xiao did before going to bed was to look at the pearl beetle and the bottom of the fish tank. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was also to look at the pearl beetle and the bottom of the fish tank, just to ensure that he could discover the existence of pearls at the first time.

This behavior also attracted a lot of teasing from Zhang Bo and others.

Therefore, Zhuge Yun's words did not enter his brain, which was now filled with pearl fish and pearls.

"Didn't you see the news online? It said a water monster appeared in Zizhuyuan Park!"

"Water monster?!" Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng said in unison.

Xiao Xiao was brought back to his wandering thoughts by the sudden loud shouts from the two people, and the next second his attention was attracted by the word "water monster".

"What's going on?" Zhang Bo asked with interest.

There have been many legends about water monsters, but this was the first time one was so close to him, so Zhang Bo was particularly excited.

Zhao Luzheng and Xiao Xiao felt the same way.

When did water monsters appear in bustling cities?

"Wasn't there a rumor that someone went missing in Zizhuyuan Park?"

"Because the missing person is a girl, most people speculate that she might have been kidnapped by criminals."

"If there is no follow-up, this may just be a common kidnapping case for sex or money."

"Who would have thought that even though the police had opened a case for investigation, Zizhuyuan Park would see multiple disappearances one after another. At that time, most people were still wondering which criminal was so arrogant that he dared to commit a crime under the noses of the police?!"

"Many people are saying this is a provocation by criminals against the police and it cannot be tolerated."

……

"It's just that the police didn't find any useful clues."

"Through surveillance, the police could only find that the last place where all the missing persons appeared was near the water."

"But one-third of Zizhuyuan Park is water, and no one can guarantee whether this is a coincidence."

"And there weren't any suspicious people approaching or following the missing persons in the surveillance footage."

"Then we can only say that the criminals were very clever and cleverly avoided all surveillance cameras to commit the crime."

……

“The missing persons are basically strangers who do not know each other, unless they are companions who disappeared together.”

"In short, the police investigation has reached a deadlock."

“But, things are turning around!”

"Suddenly someone broke the news that a water monster had eaten the missing people, and he even said he saw it with his own eyes."

"The internet went viral."

"No one had ever thought of a water monster. Aren't such things supposed to exist only in the legends of Takagawa Oze? You said there's a water monster in a big city? Are you kidding me?!"

"So at first, no one believed it at all. They all thought the whistleblower was just trying to attract attention."

"However, the poster described his experience that night in detail and uploaded photos. Although it was dark and not very clear, all you could see was a splash of water."

“There was nothing at all except the splash.”
