Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 59 The Madman Who Bit Off the Fish's Head

Chen Ning'an slowed down his pace holding the lantern, and the sound of thin and dense footsteps came from behind him.

He turned around and saw a Nightmare man jogging towards him.

After being seen, Ye Anren immediately showed enthusiasm and familiarity on his face and shouted:

"Brother, wait a moment."

He called out, pausing just short of the lantern light.

"Brother, my name is Hu Pingfu. Thank you for helping us get rid of the evil spirit."

"Yeah." Chen Ning'an nodded: "Are you here to give me a reward?"

"Uh..." Hu Pingfu smiled awkwardly: "We will apply for this reward for you later to see if it is available."

"Could you please tell me your name, bro?"

Hu Pingfu took a half step back. The area covered by the lantern light was very dangerous.

The flames just now almost enveloped him.

Try to apply, whether you get it or not, these few words basically determine it, he will not give any reward.

These people would be so kind as to take credit for themselves? What a joke.

"No comment." Chen Ning'an turned around, his voice mixed with disgust, and his back holding the lantern made Hu Pingfu afraid.

He could only watch the man walk further and further along the river bank, not daring to say another word.

"Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu!"

The captain shook him awake: "Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay." Hu Ping'an's throat was dry. Was he just frightened?
"Did you find out his name?" The captain patted him on the back and said, "Your two brothers, Hu Ping'an is already dead. If you get into trouble again, your whole family will be finished."

"I know, Captain, I just didn't ask his name, I'm sorry."

Hu Pingfu felt gloomy when talking about his brother. Although his brother's body has not been confirmed yet, once Ye Anren lost contact, it can be basically confirmed that he is dead.

Because in that world, when people die, their bodies are not visible, and that is the fate of people like them.

"Well, let's not talk about this anymore." The captain smiled and said, "If this matter is resolved, we can get another prize. Tonight, we will have a foot bath and a "massage". Who wants to join us?"

"Me, me, and me!"

Team members raised their hands one after another, and Hu Pingfu showed excitement on his face: "Last time, Xiao Zhao and I were together with that girl. It was so exciting. This time, let's call A Xiong. Haha, let's pick her!"

They laughed loudly, and the last bit of excitement faded away. Looking around, there was only a red light moving in the dark mountains.

Chen Ning'an still didn't find anything special.

In the world of lanterns, the river is no longer flowing with clear water, but smelly mud.

From time to time, long white things would wriggle inside, making people afraid to get close.

The things in here do not contain qi and blood.

Chen Ning'an was looking for something similar to lightning-struck wood.

He walked all the way to Dongshan Lake. The night here was very quiet, and the lights that originally decorated the banks of the lake were turned off.

But he still saw many fishermen using flashlights and luminous floats to fish.

The closest one was a man who was about sixty or seventy years old. Coincidentally, the more Chen Ning'an looked at the man's face, the more familiar it seemed to him.

Isn’t that the guy in the next bed in the ICU?
At this time, the old man was staring at the float on the water, and turned to look at Chen Ningan who was holding the lantern, his face full of tension.

Why is there someone with his hand stretched forward, motionless, and staring at me intently?

Hearing from his son that things have been uneasy lately, the old man got scared, wondering if he had run into some perverted murderer.

It was impossible. He had just crawled out of the hospital. How could he be so unlucky? He kept telling himself not to be nervous, but the veins on his hand that were tightly holding the fishing rod betrayed him.

Chen Ning'an extinguished the lantern and approached.

The old man became even more panicked. Using his flashlight, he saw that this man was the mentally ill man in the hospital.

He was trembling all over and walked over. A mentally ill person walked over!

"Master, we've caught a fish."

Chen Ning'an reached out and grabbed his fishing rod and pulled it upwards. A three-finger-wide crucian carp jumped out of the water.

At this moment, the old man's hands were not shaking, and his heart was not panicking. He lifted the rod very steadily, caught the fish, and put it into the fish basket in one go.

His familiar appearance tells others that he is an experienced fisherman.

Chen Ning'an's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and he asked the old man, "Uncle, you just got out of the hospital, and you're out fishing alone in the middle of the night?"

"Aren't you afraid of criminals?"

Aren't you the biggest criminal? The old man suppressed his panic and said calmly, "Little brother, you just got out of the hospital, too. We are the same."

Strictly speaking, Chen Ning'an was discharged from the hospital after him.

Thinking of this, the old man was not so scared anymore, especially when he saw Chen Ning'an, who was so weak that he fell down at the slightest breeze, he felt more confident.

"That's right." Chen Ning'an bent down to observe the fish in the old man's fish basket. There was only one, the big crucian carp that he had caught just now.

No wonder the old man is so excited. It’s already midnight, and he must have been empty-handed for quite some time.

"Uncle, can I see this fish?" he asked while reaching his hand into the fish basket.

"Look anytime, look anytime." The old man didn't care. After preparing the bait, he threw it into the water again.

The crucian carp swam flexibly in the fish basket, but the hand that reached in was very precise and grabbed the fish's body.

After being lifted up, it kept struggling. Chen Ningan frowned slightly and did not sense any rich energy and blood.

He opened his mouth and bit off the fish head, tasting the blood in the fish meat.

Very little, almost the same as normal fish, but it is just a little richer because it is alive.

The "crackling" sound of fish bones breaking made the old man subconsciously look back.

"Ahhh~Ahh! What are you doing!?"

The old man screamed and almost jumped into the water.

This was so horrifying. When he turned around, he saw Chen Ningan biting off the fish's head and holding the corpse looking at him.

Chen Ningan threw the fish body into the fish basket: "Fish heads don't have meat, so the fish meat won't be affected."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked calmly, "Uncle, do you know where I can fish for big black carp in Dongshan Lake?"

What does it mean to have no impact? What does it mean to have no impact!

How could the old man dare to eat the fish? He felt like he was about to have a cerebral infarction. Chen Ning'an asked him again before he came back to his senses.

"Ah? Oh! Where did the big black carp come from in Dongshan Lake? I have been fishing here for decades. I have fished for yellow croaker, whitebait, carp, crucian carp, loach, yellow eel, clam shell, bra, everything but black carp."

Speaking of this, the old man trembled and said: "It's very strange, my friend didn't catch any either."

"Then do you know where there are bluefish around here?"

Chen Ning'an continued to ask questions, and this brought up the topic of the old man's specialty.

He forgot what happened just now and said shamelessly: "I, Zheng, have been fishing for decades. Where near Zhongcheng have I not been? Young man, if you want to catch black carp, go to Yadongpo Reservoir. The black carp there are big and fat!"

After saying that, Old Zheng sighed again: "But it's hard to catch black carp there. It is said that many lure fishers are dragged into the water every year. Young man, you have to be careful if you go there."
