It's time to become an evil god.

Bai Ge still felt a little strange, "Why prepare ghost money?"

The person on the other end replied in a very serious tone, "What if something happens to you? Wouldn't we be unable to use the RMB then?"

I don't know why, but what the other person said made a lot of sense, and I was speechless.

Where is Section Chief Xing now?

"The Zhuo River is a branch of the Han River."

Bai Ge was stunned for a moment. Wasn't that the place where they fished for mermaids last time?

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Bai Ge nodded and said, "Okay, I'm coming."

After hanging up the phone, Section Chief Xing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the riverbank behind him, which was surrounded by a long stretch of police cordon. The riverbank was full of police cars with flashing red and blue lights. There was not enough manpower, and almost all the personnel in the branch had been transferred to the riverbank for investigation. Many new police officers turned pale and vomited after seeing the scene on the riverbank.

In a stinking, foamy river, a white expanse floated, but instead of rotting, stinking dead fish, it was filled with bloated, pale human corpses, densely packed and almost spanning the entire river surface.

The corpses washed ashore were surrounded by buzzing green flies, greedily sucking up the rotting blood. Carrion crows circled above the riverbank, occasionally landing on the floating corpses, flapping their wings, pecking at the rotting flesh, and making uneasy noises.

The corpses varied in their degree of decomposition. Some did not appear to have lividity, while others had been dead for a long time and were swollen beyond recognition after being submerged in water. Some highly decomposed corpses had their skin rot away in the water, leaving only a hideous and terrifying mutilated body.

All the corpses submerged in the water had their heads turned to the side in an eerie posture, their empty, lifeless eyes staring straight at the living people on the shore.

Section Chief Xing's face was extremely grim. They had previously suspected it was a man-made strange incident, but because all their attention was focused on Yaotai Town, they hadn't expected the incident to escalate to this extent in just a few days. They dared not send anyone into the water casually and could only wait for professionals to arrive and handle the situation.

Moreover, these are just the dead bodies floating on the surface of the river; no one knows how many are below.

"Section Chief Xing, when do we go into the water to retrieve the body?"

Officer Wang, standing to the side, said with displeasure, "This place is not far from Xushi's drinking water source. If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid it will affect the drinking water."

Section Chief Xing waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer, the experts haven't arrived yet."

"Expert? What expert? A necromancer?"

Officer Wang said anxiously, "There are nearly a hundred corpses here, whose deaths have been going on for who knows how long!"

"Team Leader Wang."

A police officer hurried over and whispered in my ear, "There's a fisherman outside the police line who keeps making a fuss about wanting to come in."

"What are you fishing geezers doing here?"

Officer Wang frowned and waved his hand impatiently. "Fishing, fishing! All these fishermen know is fishing. Don't they see the world is about to end? Is the end of the world more important than fishing?"

A nearby police officer muttered under his breath, "He seemed to say he knew Section Chief Xing."

"Ok?"

Section Chief Xing looked up, realized something, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and bring him over. He must be the expert we've invited."

Then everyone saw a young man carrying a fishing bag walk over. Officer Wang was stunned when he saw the guy in front of him.

Isn't this the witness who discovered the body before? Does fishing too much turn you into an expert in handling paranormal events?

Section Chief Xing greeted Bai Ge with great respect, saying, "Mr. Bai, you've arrived."

Bai Ge's expression changed slightly when he saw Man Jiang's corpse. "What happened?"

"Hey."

Section Chief Xing pointed to a small sluice gate power station upstream and said, "The torrential rain destroyed the river embankment. These bodies were washed out from the cracks in the walls and the concrete of the sluice gate. We have brought the previous contractor over so that we can understand the situation as soon as possible if any special circumstances arise."

In the back seat of a police car not far away sat an ordinary middle-aged man in a suit and handcuffs, awaiting his fate. He was brought back under the supervision of two police officers.

The contractor was enjoying hotpot and singing at home just two hours ago when he was suddenly arrested by the police. He didn't know what had happened. Seeing the scene and the bodies in the river, he turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, "Sir, sir, we are innocent. I only bribed the relevant department when I contracted to build this project."

"Shut up."

With a powerful and authoritative shout, Section Chief Xing rebuked the contractor, who held his breath and dared not utter a sound.

Section Chief Xing angrily pointed at the corpses on the river and cursed, "There are so many corpses on the river now, there must be something going on. Perhaps you have deliberately chosen to hide some information, but it is definitely related to you. If I find out who did it, I will let him be executed on New Year's Eve!"

"How is that possible!"

The contractor was terrified. "I...I really didn't do such a thing!"

"shut up!"

Bai Ge frowned and rebuked the other party, "For example, you got inspiration from the Attack on Titan anime and, in order to avoid paying for the subsequent construction work, you had the entire construction team encased in concrete to create Wall Maria."

The contractor turned pale with fright and stammered, "I'm just an unscrupulous construction contractor, not some antisocial psychopath!"

Officer Wang, who was in charge of playing the good cop, comforted them, saying, "We're just looking into the situation. If there are no special circumstances, then you're not involved."

"No special circumstances?"

The contractor swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "What if there are special circumstances?"

Section Chief Xing said casually, "In special circumstances, we'll turn you into the Wall of Mary."

"..."

pat.

The contractor's legs buckled, and he nearly knelt down in the mud.

"It's fine."

Bai Ge patted the contractor on the shoulder and said amicably, "If you are not satisfied with the judge's life imprisonment sentence, I can try to help you get the death penalty."

"Thank you so much."

The contractor slapped his forehead in frustration, saying with tears welling up in his eyes, "I suddenly regret it. Why did I become a developer instead of studying medicine and applying for psychiatry?"

Section Chief Xing walked up to Bai Ge, pointed to the countless corpses on the river, and politely asked, "Mr. Bai, do you have any ideas?"

Bai Ge took out a fishing line from his backpack, stared at the vast and wide river, and said, "The usual."

Officer Wang's eyelids twitched, and he asked hesitantly, "Wait, another baiting attempt? Shouldn't you be using necromancer skills to speak to the dead?"

"Do not."

Bai Ge rubbed his hands together and said seriously, "I just want to go fishing!"

Chapter 117 Don't spoil them, get the water pump on!

Why would someone go fishing at this hour? Are anglers really capable of anything?

Officer Wang, standing behind him, raised his hand and asked, "Actually, I have a question. Why not just use a water pump?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ge turned around and sternly rebuked the other party for such behavior, saying righteously, "...Shut up! Using a water pump is soulless; it's a desecration of the dignity of fishermen."

The reprimanded Officer Wang dared not speak again. He silently watched as Bai Ge picked up one of the arms, examined it for a moment, and then whispered, "Something's wrong with these corpses. Look, every single one of them has missing limbs."

“We had already noticed these things before.”

Section Chief Xing asked with a grave expression, "So this is?"

Bai Ge rested his chin on his hand and said in a serious tone, "So all the deceased were disabled."

Officer Wang wanted to scoff at this conclusion. Were those corpses hooked on the water plants just vegetative? He deliberately said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Bai, some of the corpses don't have any injuries. How do you explain that?"

Bai Ge glanced at them and said casually, "Oh, those must be idiots."

"Grass!"

Section Chief Xing specially found a small boat for Bai Ge and, as instructed, brought several Type 82 hand grenades and handed them to Bai Ge.

Section Chief Xing asked curiously, "Mr. Bai, what are you going to do now?"

Bai Ge shook the rope in his hand and said seriously, "I suspect there's something else underwater. If we're lucky, we can fish it up."

"Is there anything else?"

Section Chief Xing's gaze swept across the water's surface, which was filled with swollen, pale corpses. He finally nodded and said, "Alright, Mr. Bai, please be careful. Do you need anything else prepared?"

"Um."

While fiddling with the thick hemp rope fishing line in his hand, Bai Ge said seriously, "I need a heinous, utterly immoral guy who has never done anything related to humanity to go into the water as live bait..."

Bai Ge looked up and found that everyone's eyes were on him. Section Chief Xing saluted him and said gratefully, "I never expected that Mr. Bai would be willing to sacrifice himself for others."

"no……"

Officer Wang, standing nearby, nodded, grasped Bai Ge's hand, and said with a guilty tone, "I misunderstood Mr. Bai before. Mr. Bai is righteous and noble. We are ashamed of our petty judgment. Mr. Bai, rest assured, if anything untoward happens, we will definitely apply for your death in the line of duty. Here they come, help me strap all these grenades to Mr. Bai's body."

"……Wait a moment."

Bai Ge suddenly reached out and pointed at the contractor next to him, saying, "Actually... I think he's more suitable as live bait."

The contractor standing to the side was completely stunned. "No way, officer, do I look so terrible that I deserve to die?"

"No, but out of all the people here, you look the most like cannon fodder."

Bai Ge said seriously, "Choose one: be a live bait or the Wall of Maria."

The contractor asked hesitantly, "Is there a third option?"

"Yes, I heard that the Fukushima research institute is going to develop a biological weapon called Godzilla."

The contractor pointed to himself and asked cautiously, "Huh? Can someone like me really be a biologist?"

Bai Ge shook his head and said, "No, you be Godzilla."

"..."

Faced with a 99% chance of death versus a 100% certain death that could turn him into Godzilla, the contractor ultimately chose the former. Although he initially tried to cover it up by saying he couldn't swim, he was surprised that these people had thoughtfully prepared a swimming life jacket for him.

It seems there's no escaping it this time.

Bai Ge then placed a collar covered in grenades around his neck, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, saying, "It's okay. If you can't take it anymore, just pull this ring around your neck."

Shaking the heavy thing around his neck, the contractor asked fearfully, "What... what the hell is this?"

"This thing is called the Mutual Destruction Destruction Wheel."

Bai Ge demonstrated, "As long as you pull like this, the safety switches of the grenades hanging around your neck will all open. Don't worry, between being slowly eaten up and dying instantly, I believe you will choose the latter."

"Isn't this a suicide attack?"

The contractor, with a mournful face, said, "All I did was offer a bribe! Why do I have to suffer like this? Please, do something that carbon-based life forms can do!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Bai Ge kicked him and said coldly, "Get on the boat quickly."
