The streak of light couldn't break through the barrier and crashed into Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, feeling his mind go blank when the light entered his body.

A moment later, it was as if an invisible movie screen appeared in front of Lin Mo's eyes.

A specific image appeared on the screen.

Inside a car.

"He inherited my genes; he's adorably talkative. He's in an extracurricular class and even won a gold microphone. You know what a gold microphone is, right? It's from the Little Host Competition."

"Haha, no matter how hard or tiring it is, seeing him when I get home makes it all worthwhile. What do parents do with all their lives to earn money? Isn't it to give their children a bright future?"

The driver continued talking to himself, completely ignoring the passengers' complaints that he was being long-winded.

"I just hope to earn money to buy a big house so he can have a playroom. He's so envious when he sees other kids in kindergarten with theirs."

"Last time, on my birthday, my son even made me a handmade greeting card and praised me as the best dad in the world."

Sitting in the back row, Wei Tongxin's eyes were a little moist. He recalled his son, Kele, who was also a well-behaved and obedient child.

Their kindergarten also held a host competition, and Cola brought back a golden microphone.

The driver continued, "My wife gave birth to twins again this year, haha, my son has a younger brother and sister now."

When Wei Tongxin heard this, he clearly showed a wary expression.

"My son, Guo Jia, is a very obedient child."

The driver said this, his smile growing even brighter, showing no qualms about mentioning his son's name to strangers.

But he didn't know what he had said wrong, because Wei Tongxin suddenly clutched his head and screamed wildly.

"Get off! Get off! I want to get off!"

Wei Tongxin seemed to have gone mad, and even the driver was terrified.

The car stopped at the Tianhe Riverbank. Wei Tongxin got out of the car, and the driver didn't dare to ask for the money back, thinking he had picked up a madman. He stepped on the gas and drove away.

Wei Tongxin paced back and forth by the Tianhe River, his eyes bloodshot, and he kept hitting his head as if in great pain.

"Dad is sorry, Dad is sorry, Cola, Dad is sorry."

Wei Tongxin knelt by the river, weeping bitterly.

Suddenly, a woman with silver hair and silver eyes appeared before him. The woman glanced at him indifferently, seemingly looking at him, yet also seemingly looking at Lin Mo.

The corners of her mouth slowly curved upwards.

I see you.

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. It felt as if the silver-haired woman was speaking to him, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Because Lin Mo's mental focus was not strong enough, or perhaps because he was frightened, the screen in front of him disappeared quickly.

The barrier shattered, and Lin Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on the sofa.

"How about it?"

Ye Zimo noticed that Lin Mo's expression was not good.

“At the scene of Wei Tongxin’s death, I saw the River God, and it seemed like she saw me too.”

Lin Mo picked up the coffee Ye Zimo had just drunk and gulped it down.

Ye Zimo's cheeks flushed again.

Xiaoju immediately poured her another cup.

"River God? Does it really exist?"

"I don't know if it was a hallucination, but she just stared at me and said she could see me. It was kind of scary."

Lin Mo said honestly.

"It seems this is not a serial murder case."

Xiaoju was somewhat disappointed; she had initially thought it was the work of a psychopathic killer among humans.

Judging from Lin Mo's performance, it's clear that supernatural forces are involved. With such forces involved, there's very little Xiao Ju can do. Although she's a girl with superhuman strength, she is, after all, a human.

"Are you afraid?"

Ye Zimo asked without any emotion.

Lin Mo nodded: "I did feel a sense of fear just now."

"That proves it's a powerful demon."

"On par with Master Hong?"

Lin Mo frowned. He'd been having a run of bad luck lately, always running into powerful demons like this.

"Not necessarily, it depends on the nature of her situation."

Ye Zimo said calmly, "If it were a demon, the best option after investigating to this point would be to hand it over to the Demon Alliance. But since she has already set her sights on you, we have no choice but to find her."

"They've got their eyes on me..."

Lin Mo felt as if there really was a pair of eyes secretly watching him, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

"How can we find her? Is she really the river goddess?"

Xiaoju asked curiously.

Ye Zimo shook her head. "River God is just a name. She should be an imaginary monster. She was probably born after this website was established, which means she is not very old, only 1 year old. But because of the website's high traffic and large audience, she has grown very fast."

"The more people believe in her existence, the stronger she will become."

"Her current method of killing is probably to induce hallucinations in her victims, trigger their deepest fears, and then make them jump into the river to commit suicide."

"But if the website's traffic continues to rise, she could very well turn into a physical killer."

"This newborn monster is not under the control of the Demon Alliance, or rather, it has never even heard of the Demon Alliance. It has no moral standards. The more people die, the more people believe in its existence, and the stronger it becomes."

Ye Zimo expressed her judgment.

"There are monsters like this?"

Lin Mo and Xiao Ju spoke in unison.

Ye Zimo nodded: "If you want to find her, you can start with the person who posted the message. He should be an environmental enthusiast. Xiaoju, check him out."

"Mmm." Xiaoju nodded excitedly. She was very happy to be able to help the young lady.

Chapter 155 Lessons Learned

How do you know this is an imaginary monster?

Lin Mo pressed for an answer out of curiosity.

"Based on experience, you'll naturally learn once you've seen enough monsters."

Ye Zimo once again demonstrated her advantage of living longer. Lin Mo shook his head, there was nothing he could do, he really couldn't compare.

Having a girlfriend who is 2000 years older than you is not something everyone can experience.

Lin Mo felt incredibly lucky.

"So this monster is the kind that becomes more powerful the more believers it has, and if no one believes in its existence, it will naturally disappear?"

Lin Mo asked.

Ye Zimo nodded: "That's how it is in theory."

"Could we stir up trouble on the forum, refute the original poster's views, and shake the faith of her followers?"

Lin Mo asked.

"Even if the police release all the evidence and give reasons for their suicide, these people will not completely believe it. That's human nature. This kind of human nature means that there will always be some people who believe in the existence of the river god."

Ye Zimo gave a negative answer, and then added, "Besides, the police investigation results haven't come out yet. Even if they do, they'll only release an announcement, and these people will still speculate."

"This is really tricky. Can you hypnotize them all and make them forget about it?"

Lin Mo suddenly thought of another way to deal with the imagination monster.

"There are too many people online, it's impossible to find them all."

Ye Zimo rejected Lin Mo's suggestion again.

"Alright, let's wait for Xiaoju to find out who posted it."

Lin Mo sighed.

Ye Zimo patted his shoulder: "If you have strange dreams these past two days, it might mean she's coming to find you."

Lin Mo refreshed the website and saw that the website's page views had increased again, and the number of online users had also increased significantly.

In the comments, some netizens even said they saw her, a silver-haired girl wandering around near Tianhe.

Then some curious people removed the surveillance footage and found nothing.

The two sides started arguing, each feeling that the person who posted the message was just trying to get attention.

As the number of such posts increased, Lin Mo felt that this website was much more lively than his school forum, comparable to the most popular game forums, with new posts covering up old ones in minutes, but all of them were about the Curse of Tianhe.

Lin Mo kept refreshing this website in order to set a trap and lure this guy over as soon as possible to prevent others from getting hurt.

Even if it's a powerful demon, Lin Mo isn't afraid at all.

Now that I have a sacred artifact protecting me, I can absorb any supernatural power through contact, which makes me invincible.

Unless the other party knows your weakness, avoid contact with them, and attack you with various ranged attacks.

But how could she possibly know?

Furthermore, with a vampire princess protecting them, nothing unexpected could happen.

With this in mind, Lin Mo browsed forums and ate gossip without any psychological pressure.

The two sat quietly side by side in the room, and Ye Zimo took out a comic book and started reading.

Are you drawing comics again today?

Ye Zimo suddenly asked, as his number one fan, Ye Zimo was a little eager to urge him to update.
