A passerby in a horror movie

Having confirmed the approximate location, Li Haotian went to the riverbank.

With Li Haotian's reminder, Xiaoqiang and Xiaoming did not drink the river water this time, and they were very careful even when they approached the water.

There was no other way; having learned from the mistakes of Rubbish and the others, Xiaoming was now terrified of Chu Renmei.

"Mr. Li, what should we do now? Should I go down and look for Chu Renmei's body?"

The river was quite deep, and you couldn't see much from the bank, so Xiaoming asked.

He also learned about Chu Renmei from Xiao Qiang and believed that if he put the bracelet on the corpse, Chu Renmei would stop killing.

"Go down? Going down is suicide! Chu Renmei is using the river to influence people's minds right now. If you go down, you'll just fall into her trap."

Upon hearing Xiaoming's words, Li Haotian quickly stopped him.

In the original series, this guy was killed by Chu Renmei while he was in the water. Now that he's here, how can we let him repeat the same mistake?

“Mr. Li is right. Since the female ghost kills people through the river, we cannot rashly go into the water.”

Fa Mao nodded, agreeing with Li Haotian's point.

"How can we find the body without going into the water? Master, do you have any other methods?"

Xiao Ming asked quickly.

He had witnessed Li Haotian's abilities firsthand, and he was sure he had a better way.

Li Qiang, who was standing to the side, also looked at Li Haotian. Xiao Ming called him Master, but Li Haotian was so young, what kind of skills could he have? Could he really solve Chu Renmei's problem?

"That's easy. If we need to retrieve the body but can't go into the water, we can just temporarily drain this section of the river."

Li Haotian spoke slowly.

"This……"

Hearing Li Haotian's words, Xiaoming and the other two were still in shock.

Li Qiang, in particular, thought that this young "master" was going to perform a ritual, but he didn't expect him to be so violent and to try to drain the river.

But I must say, this method does work.

After hearing this, Xiaoming and Fa Mao also realized what was going on.

Especially the hairy one, patted his head and said:

"Hey, I never thought of doing it this way. Mr. Li, you've really thought of everything."

If it weren't for Li Haotian, Fa Mao would have really suggested that Xiao Ming go into the water.

In the movie, it was he who made Xiaoming go into the water, which led to Xiaoming being killed by Chu Renmei, while he himself escaped.

While watching the movie, Li Haotian couldn't stand his actions. Since he knew there was a female ghost underwater, why did he let Xiaoming go into the water alone? Didn't he think about asking for help?

Although Fa Mao is a so-called spiritualist, he has no ability to deal with ghosts at all. He and Xiao Ming alone want to deal with Chu Renmei. I really don't know what they were thinking.

Even if we don't seek out a master, we should at least gather more people to come up with a solution. Unfortunately, that's how movies are; even when there are better solutions, the screenwriter just won't let us have them.

However, Li Haotian is not a character in the drama, so he doesn't have to follow the plot; he has his own methods.

"Beep beep".

Just then, Li Haotian's mobile phone rang.

"Hey, yes, it's over here at the construction site. There's a small pond here. You'll see it if you walk along the path."

Li Haotian answered the phone and gave instructions to the other party.

The person on the other end of the phone was the construction team that Li Haotian had contacted while Xiaoming was visiting Li Qiang these past two days.

If you need to pump water, then hire professionals; otherwise, it's not worth it for several people to work themselves to death.

Soon, the construction team came down the side path and found Li Haotian.

The construction team consisted of more than a dozen people, carrying water pumps, generators, and other equipment; they were very well prepared.

"Hello Mr. Li, which section of the river do you need water pumped out?"

The foreman walked up to Li Haotian and asked.

Although the operation of draining the river was a bit strange, the foreman didn't ask why. Anyway, they were paid, and it was only a temporary drain that wouldn't affect the water area. They were just doing their jobs for money.

"It's right here, within a range of about several tens of meters. The body of a relative of mine was thrown into the water by the construction site, and I want to retrieve it."

"When you're pumping water, be careful not to swallow it. I saw a lot of garbage dumped in there from the construction site; it might be toxic."

Li Haotian spoke slowly.

He didn't mention the female ghost; if he had, these people might not have dared to help.

"Okay... let's begin then."

The foreman nodded. Although it was to retrieve a body, it wasn't a big deal; they had done this kind of work before.

After confirming the requirements, the foreman began to arrange for people to do the work.

Li Haotian was also watching from the side to prevent any accidents from happening.

The construction team first located the narrowest points at both ends of the river, and then cut off the flow to prevent the water from continuing to flow.

They then began setting up the water pumps. To protect the pumps, Li Haotian put talismans on them, telling the foreman it was to ward off bad luck.

The foreman was paid to do the job, and putting up a talisman wouldn't make any difference, so he didn't bother with it.

With more than a dozen water pumps running at the same time, the water level in the pool dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nothing unexpected happened during this period.

However, Li Haotian dared not let his guard down and kept a close eye on the construction team.

Before long, one of the workers, for some unknown reason, suddenly looked vacant and slowly walked into the river.

The others didn't notice anything unusual, but Li Haotian, who had been watching closely, immediately ran over.

"Hey, wake up."

Li Haotian took a handful of incense ash from his pocket and threw it at the worker.

This incense ash is the same one that was offered in front of the statue of Wong Tai Sin. Wong Tai Sin bestowed the incense burner upon Li Haotian. With the blessing of Wong Tai Sin's magic power, the incense ash has a considerable restraining effect on ghosts.

The worker stopped abruptly as he inhaled the incense ash, his pupils focusing.

"vomit."

Suddenly, the man vomited, spewing a lot of yellow water into the river.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

After vomiting yellow fluid, the worker regained consciousness, but his mind was still foggy and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He stared blankly at Li Haotian.

"Didn't you get enough rest? You almost fainted just now. Let me help you over to rest."

Li Haotian lied.

"Oh, thank you, thank you..."

Hearing Li Haotian's words, the worker was puzzled, but he was too weak to argue about it.

"Ah Long, what's wrong?"

The foreman also came over and inquired about the situation.

"You too, why didn't you say you weren't feeling well? You're the only breadwinner in your family. What would happen to your family if something happened to you? I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out later."

After learning what had happened, the foreman gave him a severe dressing-down, but it was all for his own good.

Li Haotian guessed that this person might have accidentally gotten river water in his mouth while working on construction, which is why he was controlled by Chu Renmei.

I felt a little guilty. He had reminded them, but accidents are inevitable during construction, and I suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Li Haotian took out a wad of cash from his backpack, which he estimated to be around two thousand yuan, and handed it to the worker.

"Brother, your health is important, go to the hospital as soon as possible. I'll pay for your medical expenses if you have any problems here."

Although he has already paid for the project, the worker was injured on the job, so it is only right that he be compensated.

Seeing that Li Haotian had taken out so much money, the workers hesitated for a moment.

"Here's a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Li Haotian handed it to him directly, and then asked the foreman to have someone accompany him to the hospital for a check-up.

Actually, there's no need to look at it. After yin energy enters the body, you will be weak for a period of time. Just take good care of yourself for a while.

However, he noticed that the worker named Ah Long didn't seem to be in good health and probably didn't have time to recuperate.

It's better to let him go to the hospital sooner, get some medicine, and avoid problems later.

Moreover, this money is also mission funding provided by the space, and it can't be taken away, so it's a waste not to spend it.
