Yu Daohan watched the phone hang up. Hearing the tone of Biao Tao, it seemed that this corpse pond had been encountered more than once. He opened WeChat and sent a location.
Yu Daohan and Su Lai waited for Zhu Futing to arrive.
After waiting for more than an hour, Zhu Futing had not yet arrived. Instead, a middle-aged man with a large belly and a lewd expression walked towards them.
Yu Daohan recognized the person. It was Biao Tao.
Biao Tao came to the two, his face serious. He looked at Su Lai and said, "Su Ye."
Su Lai nodded. Biao Tao was known by almost everyone in the underworld in Jiangsu Province.
"Director Biao," Su Lai said politely.
Biao Tao nodded and looked at Yu Daohan. "Master Yu, what's the situation with the water?"
Yu Daohan explained the whole story of how he and Su Lai came here.
Biao Tao's expression changed, and he seemed disbelieving. "That's impossible. When I checked the archives, it showed that this fish pond was managed by an old couple."
Yu Daohan immediately denied it. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. I saw that Zhu Futing yesterday. You can ask Brother Su if you don't believe me."
Su Lai nodded. "That's right, we did meet Zhu Futing yesterday, and he was the one who brought us here."
Biao Tao's expression became even more grim. "Zhu Futing is Zhu Youcai's son. He drowned in the fish pond ten years ago."
Yu Daohan and Su Lai were both incredulous upon hearing Biao Tao's words.
They had clearly seen Zhu Futing and his wife Ma Meiling yesterday. How could he have died ten years ago?
Could it be that they had seen ghosts? Even if they were ghosts, why couldn't he feel any ghostly aura? Even Su Lai beside him hadn't felt anything.
"Could it be that Zhu Youcai has more than one son?" Yu Daohan asked.
Biao Tao shook his head, looking a bit agitated. "How is that possible? He only had one son named Zhu Futing, who drowned in this fish pond ten years ago. For so many years, these fish ponds have been managed by Zhu Youcai and his wife."
Yu Daohan couldn't believe it was true. He took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later."
Su Lai beside him also found it hard to believe. If that guy wasn't Zhu Futing, who else could it be?
Yu Daohan swallowed. This was more stimulating than encountering a ghost. Could it be that they had really encountered ghosts?
Or perhaps he and Su Lai were under an illusion. That was also impossible. The evil-warding stone around his neck was a nemesis to all illusions.
"By the way, Old Biao, you said on the phone just now that another one appeared. Did this corpse pond encounter this before?"
Biao Tao nodded with a solemn expression. "That's right. This corpse pond has been encountered four times before, and each time there were hundreds of corpses. The last one had more than five hundred corpses."
Yu Daohan and Su Lai were both horrified. What did five hundred corpses mean? A village only had about five hundred people.
Could it be that the entire village was killed and dumped into the fish pond?
"How come I haven't heard of such a big thing in the underworld?" Yu Daohan asked curiously.
Biao Tao sighed and shook his head. "This matter is too serious. Apart from the people involved in handling it, the news has been suppressed by the Supernatural Bureau."
"So, what do we do about this now?" Yu Daohan asked, glancing at the fish pond.
"This matter cannot be delayed. I'll find someone to handle it. However, the corpses inside might have already undergone zombification, making them difficult to deal with."
Biao Tao said this with a lewd smile at Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan quickly stopped him. "No way, I'm not participating in this."
Biao Tao coughed. "I'll pay, is that okay?"
"I won't do it even if you pay," Yu Daohan refused.
Elder Jian said that he had been experiencing bad luck with water these days. This kind of thing was finally over, so he would avoid it if possible. Moreover, Biao Tao knew that if he were in danger, the person behind him would definitely come, and then everything inside would be eliminated together.
"Brother Su, let's go," Yu Daohan said, preparing to leave with Su Lai.
Su Lai coughed lightly, a lewd smile appearing on his face. "Director Biao, how much is the price? I'll stay and help you."
Yu Daohan turned his head and looked at Su Lai in bewilderment. He knew the situation in the water, so why was he still willing to take on this job?
However, Yu Daohan thought about it again. Biao Tao also knew how dangerous it was inside, so he wouldn't not find other helpers. Besides, Su Lai was a master with Heavenly Ranking strength, so he should be able to protect himself in danger.
Biao Tao was happy to agree when Su Lai offered to help. He was worried about not having enough helpers.
"Su Ye, it would be great if you could help. We can discuss the price properly," Biao Tao said with a smile.
Yu Daohan rolled his eyes. The more he looked at them, the more he felt they were brothers. "Fine, I won't collude with you. I'm leaving."
Yu Daohan left the fish pond.
To be honest, Yu Daohan had other matters to attend to.
Zhu Futing's phone was still switched off. He could only go to his home in the village to inquire if Zhu Futing had really drowned ten years ago.
As for the 120,000 yuan, he was not a greedy person. But if he couldn't find Zhu Futing, then he would have to keep the 120,000 yuan himself. It was understandable, wasn't it?
Besides, it wasn't what he wanted, but a last resort due to circumstances.
