Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 875 - 792: The Past

Gotta say, Chuci's custom phone is really handy.

Plus, Jiang Yuan specially directed the paper snake toward the building for the debunking video, making the whole thing even clearer to capture.

"Bro, don't worry, I'll hand the video to the PR company later," Chuci reluctantly put away the phone, "Who cares if they believe it or not, it's not like anyone has evidence. If they want, they can go find the dragon's remains, haha!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, thinking as long as nobody catches me on camera, it's fine. Better keep things low-key to avoid trouble.

Another twenty minutes passed, and the rain finally began to lighten up.

The fierce wind blew the heavy clouds swiftly southwest, causing the sky to brighten, even revealing a small corner of sunlight glittering on the falling rain.

"Oh my god! Did the upstream reservoir release water?"

"Didn't even notify us. Luckily, the farmhouse is at a higher elevation, or we'd be washed away!"

"Look, the tree on the opposite slope got struck by lightning, fresh thunderstruck wood!"

"Looks like the python failed its tribulation crossing, struck by lightning and couldn't turn into a dragon. What a shame."

"Delusional, aren't you? Dragons, seriously? Didn't you see those plastic pieces blow away? It's just a big kite."

"Believing everything's a kite, that's an achievement too. It clearly turned to plastic from failing the tribulation and got torn apart!"

"People who still believe in dragons these days, that's an achievement. The plastic pieces almost slapped your face and you still don't believe, anything can fly during the kite festival, it's truly remarkable."

"Stop arguing, when will the water recede? Whoever's phone has a signal, quickly make a call for help! Didn't someone fall in the water and cry for help earlier? At least report to the police..."

......

The crowd buzzed, but the overall atmosphere was much more relaxed.

The cement paths from the farmhouse to the river were all submerged, with only the top half of the largest sloped road remaining, the rest underwater.

Many cars parked at the riverside parking lot downstream were pushed around every which way, soaking in the water.

"Hey, can you tell fortunes?" Wu Yegen went up and poked the Water Ghost pressed under the tiger's paw, asking, "Can you figure out when the rain will stop?"

The Water Ghost rolled his eyes and played dead.

The paper tiger seemed quite human-like and knew which ghost to side with, giving the Water Ghost a pat on the back, which made him shiver in pain, "Your big paw almost patted me to death! Wait for the rain to stop... should be another ten minutes or so."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Wu Yegen used the tiger to his advantage, glaring back at him.

He didn't dare much more, after all, even though both are ghosts, he had no grievances or evil energy, but the Water Ghost, even translucent, still had a faint resentment around him.

Since they were idle, Jiang Yuan searched for Pei Jiqiang's photo on his phone and showed it to the Water Ghost, "Do you know this person? Did you eat him?"

The Water Ghost, who had been pinned and beaten the entire time, knew this young man seemed harmless, but was actually ruthless, not one for many words, and fought to kill!

Facing others, whether humans or ghosts, he might put on airs, but with this guy, he didn't dare have any attitude.

He squinted at the photo for a long time before shaking his head, "Can't remember, after being a Water Ghost for about ten years, I've drowned and eaten quite a few, no impression."

"Less than six years ago, he died under the Huíyáng bridge in the east suburb, does that ring a bell?" Jiang Yuan showed him the time and place from the notice.

With the time, place, and person all set, the Water Ghost thought carefully and suddenly remembered: "I remember now! He wasn't a good guy... Are you a relative, here for revenge?"

No wonder in that dizzy, muddleheaded state earlier, he seemed to hear something like brother and replenish Divine Soul.

Blame it on this tiger, bites fine but always shakes its head and swings its tail!

With the head buzzing... Hey? Wait a minute! The person's been dead for years, what soul replenishment?

"Tell the whole story in detail."

The other didn't confirm nor deny, making the Water Ghost uneasy, only capable of saying, "Then I need to start from the beginning, from turning into a Water Ghost over ten years ago, to explain the whole cause and effect."

"Well then, go on, let's sit here and have some tea while listening to your story." Chuci was a social expert, able to accommodate even recent acquaintances warmly.

He grabbed the large copper kettle on the table, washed a few teacups, dragged some chairs over, smiled and said, "Luckily when the water rose to the second floor, I asked the owner to bring up a big pot of tea, now that the power's out, they'd have a hard time finding hot water to drink.

Take a seat, I've never seen a 'live' Water Ghost before, quite interesting, huh!"

Looks like even if the rain stops, the power and water won't be back soon, drinking tea and listening to a story is better than sitting around.

Mu Mian thanked and sat beside Jiang Yuan, while in the water bubble above, Aunt Yu felt quite relieved;

Without Grandpa Huang inhabiting him, Li Tiezhu couldn't see or hear, but having him in the body wasn't great either.

While in a dilemma, the generous Chuci offered his potion, "Anything my brother makes is top-notch, it'll work wonders!"

Since he caused his brother's troubles, Wu Yegen was eager to find out what happened, but without a place to sit, he simply got Jiang Yuan's permission to sit close to the tiger and listen attentively.

"I..." The Water Ghost glanced around at their posture ready to listen to stories, and his mindset nearly collapsed.

Turns out the Water Ghost that everyone turns pale hearing about, seems to them just a tool for storytelling and leisure, what kind of people are these? Who on earth could he tell about this?
