To Be a Heartthrob in a Horror Movie [English Translation]

Chapter 25: Mystery

Su Min wiped away the water from his face and again dived into the water only to see endless sea water. There wasn't even a single fish.

His ears quietened down and his groggy mind quickly cleared up before he resurfaced.

Chen Xingzhou was shocked. "Su Min, you okay?"

Su Min shook his head: "I'm fine."

He shook out the water in his ears and felt extremely uncomfortable. This was especially the case for the sea water on his face. Residuals still remained even after wiping it off.

Chen Xingzhou said: "The sea isn't safe. Let's quickly go back."

Earlier, someone had grabbed his leg and at that time only he and Jiang Yunhuo were in the water. Jiang Yunhuo was in front of him so it was not possible for him to do that.

Through a process of elimination, he concluded that it was something that no human could do.

Chen Xingzhou also regretted going in the water. He should have been more vigilant. He even almost caused Su Min to have an accident.

Su Min said: "Let's go back."

They carefully swam forward and finally stepped onto the wet sand. Step by step, they walked over to the beach.

The moment they stepped onto solid ground, they felt a little more reassured.

Su Min said while deep in thought: "Jiang Yunhuo's incident is strange. There shouldn't be seagrass so close to the beach."

Chen Xingzhou didn't dive into the water, so he didn't know that it was because of seagrass, "Seagrass? Before that happened to him, I was caught by a hand."

He once again retold his experience.

Su Min's expression went through some changes.

It couldn't be Chen Su's doing right? It isn't in his character and he has never attacked others.

Chen Xingzhou said: "Could it be a water ghost?"

Su Min paused for a moment, "It's possible. I thought it might be a corpse but I didn't see anything in the water."

Afterall, this island's corpse could knock on walls so it wouldn't be strange if there was one that could grab people in the water.

Water ghosts are not rare. Almost every child that has grown up in the countryside would have heard of it.

Strictly speaking, water ghosts are ghosts of people who died in the water. Often, these water ghosts died very reluctantly, so they would have the urge to harm others.

Those that are dragged down by the water ghost would become their replacement. The original ghost would be freed from its fate as a water ghost and it can live freely.

The dead ghost would become the new water ghost and it continues on in an infinite cycle. This was also the reason why people would constantly drown in the water.

Water ghosts also have another name, called the water monkey.

Chen Xingzhou imagined the scene of him being grabbed by a corpse and shuddered, "Forget it. I don't want to think about it. If I think about it I won't be able to sleep tonight."
