Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 27 Water Ghost
After walking around the outskirts of Mount Mikazuki, Yang Liu indeed did not find any evil spirits.

There is a cemetery called Sanrizuki Cemetery on the mountain, and Yang Liu originally had a glimmer of hope for it.

After all, Japanese temples monopolize the funeral industry, and Japanese people are generally buried in temple cemeteries after death. Cemeteries like this one that do not belong to temples are rare.

There was actually a temple in the cemetery here before, but later the temple was abandoned, so it was acquired by the government and became a public cemetery for some rich people.

But after arriving, Yang Liu found that this place was completely different from what he had imagined.

All I can say is that it's very clean, even a little too clean.

Looking at the public cemetery with no human figures or ghosts in front of him, Yang Liu couldn't help scratching his head: "Isn't it... that these rich people passed away so peacefully?!"

Of course this is a joke. According to the scale of the spread of supernatural powers in Japan, Yang Liu estimated that as soon as these wealthy people died, their filial sons and grandchildren would directly find someone to "restore the souls" for them, so it is reasonable that there are no ghosts.

After walking around the cemetery and confirming that there was indeed no ghost in sight, Yang Liu had no choice but to continue moving towards Mikazuki Lake.

Lake Mikazuki is not just the name of the lake, it is also a geological phenomenon in Japanese.

It refers to the original river channel that remains after a portion of the meandering river channel is cut off and becomes a crescent-shaped lake.

Lake Mikazuki in Fukuoka is not the largest in Japan in terms of scale, but it is famous mainly because of a red bridge across the lake.

【Bridge of Lake Mikazuki】

Unfortunately, although it is spring now, the trees on both sides of the river are not lush enough, so the scenery is a little worse.

Yang Liu took a photo while standing on the road, feeling a little regretful.

"It seems like I have made another wasted trip today..."

Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow seemed to flash under the bridge in the distance.

"Um?!"

Yang Liu narrowed her eyes and quickly scanned the water surface where the black shadow had just appeared.

Although the water in this part of the lake was clear, it was now nearly noon and the shimmering water reflected too much sunlight, making it difficult to see what was going on from a distance.

The most important thing is that although the black shadow was extremely fast, it did not seem to cause any ripples on the water surface, and if you were not careful you would think it was an illusion.

But Yang Liu would not think so: "Interesting... I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected gain."

Other people might make a mistake, but Yang Liu, who has been dealing with ghosts for two and a half years, would definitely not make a mistake. The fleeting black shadow just now was a ghost lurking under the water!

Yang Liu laughed heartily, her open lips revealing her white teeth.

"He's been under the water all this time. Is he a water ghost? This is amazing!"

He put away his phone and looked around.

Although this place is a scenic spot, there were very few people because it was a weekday and the scenery was not good in this season. There was almost no one on the entire road except for the willow trees.

Yang Liu ran to the side of the road, climbed over the railing without hesitation and fell down, then ran along the lakeside straight towards the area where the black shadow had just appeared.

The mountains were rugged, and there were many cliffs beside the Three Moon Lake, with no roads to pass through. However, Yang Liu relied on his strong physical fitness to climb over the mountains and reach the area where he had seen the shadow before.

As there was no place to stand next to the lake, Yang Liu simply reached out and grabbed the tree trunk, hanging on the tree like a monkey, using the branches and twigs to hide himself while also making it convenient to observe the situation in the lake.

It waited quietly for a while, and as if sensing the presence of a living person on the shore, the black shadow emerged again from the dark bottom of the lake.

"It is attracted by the breath of living people. It is really a water ghost!"

Water ghosts, also known as water monkeys in the underworld, are ghosts born from the obsession of people who drowned in the water due to various accidents.

Since it is a special kind of earthbound spirit, it can only appear in various rivers, lakes and seas.

Water ghosts usually wander deep under the water. Once they sense humans approaching the water surface, they will surface and then either lure or forcibly pull living people on the shore or in the water into the water and drown them.

There is a folk rumor that water ghosts will occupy the bodies of recently dead people to gain a new life.

Of course, Yang Liu knew very well that the dead could not be resurrected, so the latter rumor was really just a rumor, but the previous information had great operational value.

It seemed that because Yang Liu's body was too strong, the breath of life it exuded was particularly attractive.

After noticing, the water ghost kept wandering under the water, like a crocodile looking for an opportunity to eat.

Looking at the inky black shadow under the water, Yang Liu smiled excitedly.

Because he was closer, he could see more information: "The body is completely covered with resentment, and the color is quite dark. It is an evil spirit, and a very high level one at that!"

After confirming the target's situation, Yang Liu climbed up the tree without hesitation.

After stripping off all my clothes on the tree, I stuffed them into my backpack and then hung the backpack on the tree.

Then he hid on a tree branch and carefully observed the bridge on both sides. After confirming that there was no one on it, Yang Liu dived into the lake.

As soon as he entered the water, a ferocious evil spirit showed its claws and fangs as the river water surged.

Before Yang Liu even had time to dive, she felt as if the lake water around her had come alive and was constantly pushing her to the bottom of the lake.

When it reached a certain depth, Yang Liu felt her ankle tighten. She looked down and saw that the surrounding water plants had rolled up at some point and were binding her calves like chains.

As the evil spirit exerted its strength, the remaining water plants, which were not too long to begin with, grew rapidly as if they had taken stimulants, and wrapped around the bound calves, as if trying to completely trap Yang Liu's entire body.

Finally they touched Willow's neck, and like sharks smelling blood, the other water plants became excited and wrapped around him, tightening in circles as if they wanted to break his neck.

Yang Liu suddenly began to "struggle", swinging his limbs like an ordinary person who fell into the water.

At this moment, his body was completely trapped by the water plants, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not float to the surface again.

After a while, Yang Liu stopped struggling and waited quietly for another four or five minutes. The black shadow that had been wandering around but not coming forward finally began to approach.

Looking at Yang Liu's strong body, the jealousy and resentment in the evil spirit's eyes almost overflowed, but then he let out a mocking sneer.

He swam slowly to Yang Liu and stretched out his arm which was filled with dark resentment. Before he could do anything, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
