Chapter 148: Fishman in the Dark

The fog in the alley was thicker than by the river, and there was a thick fishy smell in the fog. And the closer to the Des family's house, the thicker the fishy smell, and even vaguely there was a stench.

This strange smell not only meant the problem of fish scale disease, but it seemed that what followed was even more terrible power from the ocean...

The figure of the match girl carrying a basket walked in the front, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha followed closely, and Xia De walked in the back. Both of his hands lit up with silver moon light, ready to deal with possible attacks at any time.

Fortunately, it was night now, and night was the time when his combat power was strongest.

Finally approaching that house, Xia De noticed that under his skin, golden cracks appeared vaguely. It was not clear, but it was undoubtedly appearing.

He frowned:

"Dream?"

【No, I can be sure this is reality.】

"Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, look."

The blonde female writer turned her head and saw the traces and golden brilliance on Xia De's body. First, she was puzzled, then her face was a bit ugly:

"This area is probably being dragged to a terrible place. I don't know the principle of these 'decorations' of yours, but the situation must be very bad."

While talking, they had already arrived at the door. Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha let Xia De step back and let her push the door. But Xia De didn't retreat at all, instead grabbing the female writer's wrist and pulling her behind him:

"Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, I don't want to hold you or carry you on my back to leave this place."

He joked, but his expression was very firm:

"This time, let me do it."

He had faced gods twice, chatted and laughed with the Old God of the past in a toy store, and just a few hours ago was thinking about the secrets of the Ancient Gods and touching the statue of the Ancient God. In terms of mental resistance and the soul's resistance to pollution, even if two Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha were added together, they couldn't compare to him.

He stared at the blonde girl's emerald green eyes in this darkness:

"The match girl is in the front, I am in the middle, you are in the back, holding my wrist. When you enter the room in a moment, try not to open your eyes, just follow me forward. I can feel that the exit is here..."

Actually, it was "she" reminding him in his ear. She could feel the special traces in the room, which was the privilege of possessing the 【Space-Time】 core rune.

"Detective, no, Xia De... be careful."

Dorothy Lu Lu Lu Yisha also stared at Xia De's eyes, then nodded lightly, and took the initiative to grab Xia De's wrist.

Xia De turned to look at the door in front of him, took a deep breath, and pushed it lightly, and the door was opened.

Thick darkness seemed to drift out from the door. The figure of the match girl blurred, and the golden light traces on Xia De became more obvious. Light particles drifted backward as he stepped forward. Since the Lakeview Manor incident, this was the most dangerous action.

"But it's actually not dangerous. The biggest danger lies in the fishmen, and that 'more terrible power' doesn't seem to have really come here."

Thinking in his heart, he stepped into the room, and it was almost pitch black all around. The fishy and stinky smell in the air was so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe. The cold wind blew on his body, and the bone-chilling cold made Xia De's scalp numb.

【Probably in the room on the left.】

"Left."

He said lightly, and the match girl walking in the front immediately turned left. Her figure was blurred, but the brass-colored inspiration light on her body could illuminate the front.

A black shadow appeared in front, and the roaring fishman rushed up.

"I'll do it."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, who was almost sticking to Xia De's back, said in Xia De's right ear. The match girl took a match from the basket, and the lit match head rushed forward. The flame ignited the fishman, causing it to retreat into the darkness in a silent scream. The phantom of the match girl became even dimmer because of this attack.

Continuing forward, whispers gradually sounded in his ears, which for some reason reminded Xia De of the last wails of people who drowned in the water.

"Smile."

He said to his heart, and then, he heard her laughter in his left ear.

While getting rid of the influence of the whispering sound, his right hand suddenly pointed forward, and the silver moonlight erupted, illuminating the slightly short fishman.

The match girl took out a match again, and the flame forced the second fishman back. It forced it to retreat. Its rotten face and styling that completely violated human aesthetics still made Xia De very uncomfortable, even though he had seen it once last night.

"The match girl can only use four matches."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha said in Xia De's right ear.

"Understood."

He endured the illusion that countless creatures were peeking at him, and followed the match girl forward. The fishman's ear-piercing screams appeared on both the left and right sides at the same time, as if the things in the darkness were attacking from both sides at the same time.

"Right."

The keen intuition gave the answer directly, without even using "her" hint.

"Right!"

He reminded loudly, and the third match in the match girl's hand forced the fishman back. Xia De also took this opportunity to see more physical characteristics of the fishman.

Compared with the fishman who lost control last night, this fishman had more water plants on his body, and the water plants were almost completely fused with the rotten fish scales. In addition, there was a rope tied to the fishman's feet.

He described these details to Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, who said in his right ear:

"I probably know which evil god was attracted. I can't say His name now. Be prepared to hold your breath at any time. We may feel like we are being immersed in water at any time."

"Okay."

Xia De continued to follow the almost transparent match girl forward. The fishy wind blew from behind, and the match girl disappeared in front of Xia De and appeared behind Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha.

The last match lit up, and the burning match girl rushed toward the fourth fishman, disappearing into the darkness with it in the bursting firelight.

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha groaned. This miracle ended with four matches, not actively canceling the effect, which was also a damage to her.

"Approaching."

Xia De said in a low voice, and the silver moon light in his hand swung to his right. The silver moon light illuminated the surroundings during the advance. It was only a moment, but Xia De actually saw countless corpses that were soaked into giant views surrounding them.

Those corpses were suspended quietly and strangely in the air, as if the surrounding air was liquid.

The sound of splashing water suddenly appeared in his ears. Xia De, who was breathing, felt that he had inhaled a large mouthful of water. He immediately held his breath, unable to open his eyes because of the water, but "her" voice in his left ear was still guiding him forward.

Xia De held Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's hand tightly, and after walking forward for more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped. The feeling of being immersed in water disappeared. Opening his eyes, it was actually the door of the Des family's small house. The door was wide open. This was the exit. Leaving from here, he could leave this area that didn't know where it was going to be pulled.

"Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, let's quickly..."

But he only said half of the words, and Xia De stopped. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
