The two of them put on diving equipment, stood on the right side of the speedboat, then raised their backs, and jumped into the Yangtze River with a thud.
Even Gong Quan was cautious, he could not have imagined that after this jump, the two of them would encounter such a terrible thing.
The water in the Soul Chasing Storm is extremely cold, and you can feel the coldness and bone-blackness through the diving suit. The chill seems to penetrate directly into your bones.
But now is June, which is the hottest season in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Gong Quan gestured to Wen Zhuwu a few times, and then a voice came from Wen Zhuwu's underwater intercom: "Can you hear it?"
"Can you hear it." Wen Zhuwu replied.
"Okay, dive." After saying that, Gong Quan took the lead and plunged into the water and disappeared.
Wen Zhuwu also began to dive. The Yangtze River water was very dark, like egg yolks hitting the water, and the visibility was not high. Soon, as the depth became bottomed, there was only flowing water and turbidity around it with a great sand content.
The dive continued, Wen Zhuwu followed Gong Quan closely. They continued to dive to a depth of thirty meters.
"Brother Quan, the water is too turbid and you can't see anything." Wen Zhuwu spoke to the intercom.
Gong Quandao: "Open the searchlight."
The Yangtze River water, which was thirty meters deep, became dark and dark. They seemed to be swimming in a pool of ink. Two strong lights flashed for a moment, then pierced the turbidity of the Yangtze River water. Then the lights finally saw the surrounding environment a little.
But now the hunger position is in the center of the Soul Chasing Storm, and there is no reference at all except water.
The two of them swam down for a while, and the fifth elder Wen Zhu felt cold all over, as if something was strange. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something and suddenly said, "Brother Quan, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Gong Quan asked in a silence.
"Why are there no fish here? The water flow is very slow and the depth is enough. This is supposed to be the favorite habitat for fish and shrimp." Wen Zhuwu said: "But swim all the way, let alone fish and shrimp, I haven't seen a single aquatic creature."
"No creature exists in the Soul Chasing Storm. As for why, no one knows the reason yet." Gong Quan said: "Let's look for it quickly. Soul Chasing Storm is not big. If you float along the direction of the water, you should be able to find the corpse."
Wen Zhuwu nodded, suppressing the doubts in his heart and continuing to follow Gong Quan. The two of them did not wander around, but drifted with the water flow.
Although this soul-chasing storm is calm under the water, there is still a faint water flow. The water flow is not fast and very smooth, but this does not mean safety.
After all, the Yangtze River roars for thousands of miles, and wherever it passes, it has never been a gentle river. The smoothness in the river is usually the result of the interaction between several streams of water in different directions.
Gong Quan made up his mind to the point where the girl jumped into the river, she had no chance of survival. The body must have been dragged into the depths of the soul chasing.
The searchlight cuts the darkness in the water, and they search for an hour.
Just as Gong Quan was about to leave, Wen Zhuwu's eyes were pointed and shouted, "Brother Quan, there seems to be something in that location."
Gong Quan turned his head and looked closely and saw a dark shadow in front of him at a depth of 40 meters.
The soul-chasing storm is empty, not only without creatures, but also difficult to see the daily garbage thrown into the Yangtze River. The shadow floats in the river that is neither up nor down, and does not move at all. It looks very strange.
The strangest thing is that something seems to be around it, circles and turns.
"Go over and take a look." Gong Quan made a gesture, and the two of them swam carefully towards the shadow.
As they got closer, the searchlight light hit the faintest. When they saw it thoroughly, the two of them immediately took a breath of cold air.
This is indeed a corpse, the corpse of a woman. This woman is about twenty years old, with her eyes closed, her beautiful appearance without any expression, and she does not even have the pain of death. She seems to be asleep, floating quietly in the water. Her long hair floats in the water in black, like countless messy water plants.
"It's her." Wen Zhuwu was delighted.
He had seen photos of the suicide girl, which was exactly the same as the corpse.
"I'll hook the body with a hook." Wen Zhuwu said, swimming forward.
Gong Quan grabbed him: "Wait."
"Brother Quan, why are you stopping me?" Wen Zhuwu was puzzled.
"Don't you think there is something wrong with this corpse?" Gong Quan frowned.
“What’s the problem?”
"She, her whole body is standing in the water. This is unscientific." Gong Quandao.
Yes, he has been salvaging the corpse for a long time and is very clear about the difference between men and women. Men and women usually have different states due to their body density and fat parts. Men are usually underwater and are facing upwards. Women are the opposite.
What's strange is that the female corpse not only has no heart to the top, but is standing underwater at a depth of 40 meters, neither floating upward nor sinking to the bottom. She just stood motionless.
"This is the legendary corpse of the Yangtze River." Gong Quan was a little scared.
Wen Zhuwu smiled and said, "Brother Quan, you have to believe in science. People have deciphered the science and education channel before. The so-called corpse standing in the water is usually the result of water pulling, which creates a balance."
"Even so, the state of the female corpse has been preserved so well." Gong Quan shook his head: "There is no trace of this corpse that has been eaten by fish and insects in the water. It has been soaked in the water for nearly half a month, but there is no sign of rotting."
Something is wrong, something is wrong everywhere.
Gong Quan wanted to give up.
But Wen Zhuwu is a newborn calf, and he is not afraid of anything. Thinking that the corpse is near, this guy naturally doesn't want to retreat. After all, if he completes this task, he can get a reward of 30,000 yuan. What's more, this is his first salvage.
Thinking silently about the process of the training in my heart, the guy was numb and said, "Brother Quan, I'll hook the body up."
"Forget it, we won't do this deal, we'll go back immediately." Gong Quan shook his head.
The old water ghost knows that every time they encounter a corpse in the Yangtze River, there will be no good things. Although this is superstitious, it has to be believed in the evil things in their career.
Those who do not believe will not live long.
Wen Zhuwu was anxious and said contemptuously: "The body is right in front of us, how can we ignore it? Take a step back and say how sad the girl's parents are. I would rather spend a lot of money to salvage her daughter's body. You can imagine how much her parents love her. Alas, it is a merit, we are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
