Rue hesitated for a moment and said, “We used to be residents on the shore. About eight years ago. At that time, this place was built by the villages in the city…” She pointed to the other side of the river, but now, there were tall buildings on the other side of the river. The old buildings had long been demolished.
Rue: “One day, Mommy and I went to the river to wash the blanket. Mommy felt that the blanket was too heavy and was afraid of damaging the washing machine, so she went to the river to wash it. She could also save water… My father followed us, but he went to the river to swim.’
Rue’s mother was washing when she suddenly fell into the river. Rue went to pull her up without thinking, but she fell into the water too.
Rue: “At that time, my mother and I shouted for help, but Dad swam too far away and didn’t hear…” As she spoke, Rue cried sadly. “My mother and I drowned just like that. After we died, Mom and I became the water ghosts here. My mother was very angry and didn’t want to reincarnate. She hated Dad for being deaf and couldn’t hear us no matter how she shouted.”
The malicious ghost seemed to have recalled the scene before her death. Her eyes were red. It was fine if she died, but her daughter was also dead! Her husband was swimming in the water a hundred meters away. Their daughter clearly had a chance of being saved, but she drowned alive!
“I can’t accept this! I hate him!” The female ghost’s voice was hoarse. “l want to find him! I want to kill him! I want to ask him if his ears are for show!”
Amelia: ‘
Rue continued, “As we fell into the mud and were entangled by the seaweed, my father searched for a long time and didn’t see us. He thought that we had gone home early, so he went back. Later, when he found out that we might have fallen into the water, he got someone to scoop us up with a bamboo pole a few times, but they didn’t find us.”
Amelia frowned. “Then how did you kill Sister Mimi?”
The female malicious ghost struggled for a while, but when she realized that she couldn’t move, she gave up. Rue glanced at her mother and revealed what had happened in the past two days. It turned out that Mimi didn’t want to commit suicide at all. After arguing with her mother, she came to the river and sat on the stone bench beside her in a daze.
“Because she was alone, Mom and I wanted to attract her over. Then, I heard her talking to her mother on the phone. Her mother was very angry and asked her where she had gone. Mimi said that she was in Riverside Park.” Xiaorou paused for a moment and pursed her lips. “Mimi’s mother was very angry when she heard that. She said, ‘Okay, you’re even threatening me with suicide now, right? What are you going to Riverside for? If you have the ability, jump down and don’t come back!’”
Amelia asked, “And?”
George, Alex, Helena, and Eric could only watch Amelia talk to herself. When they saw the ghost, they were afraid. Now that they could not see the ghost or hear the story, they were still scratching their heads. So what were these two water ghosts talking to Amelia about?
Helena muttered, “l miscalculated. I should have brought William over.” At this moment, Rue continued, “Mimi is the same age as me. I understand her feelings. Before she could explain, her mother hung up the phone. Then, she cried and squatted by the river…”
Originally, Rue didn’t want to kill Mimi, but her mother told her not to be soft-hearted. “My mother told me that if you pity others, who will pity us?” While Rue was hesitating, Rue’s mother dragged Mimi into the water. Rue struggled in her heart for a moment, but in the end, she did not stop her.
Rue said, “After Mimi died for a day, her mother came to look for her. She searched for a day but couldn’t find her. At night, my mother dragged the two girls into the water. When she heard that someone had fallen into the water,
Mimi’s mother was very anxious. At this moment, a very brave boy passed by. He was very good at swimming. The two girls who had fallen into the water weren’t deep, so he actually managed to save them. My mother was very angry. She asked me to attach myself to Mimi and pretend to fall into the water. Then, she brought that boy…” At this point, Rue seemed to be very guilty and couldn’t speak.
However, Rue’s mother had no intention of repenting at all. She only said, “They deserve it! Those two girls could have gone anywhere to take photos, but they insisted on sticking to the river! They deserved to die!”
Amelia was furious. “What about the brother who saved people? He’s a good person! He doesn’t deserve to die!”
Rue’s mother didn’t care. “So what? He’ll die sooner or later anyway. Might as well fulfill my wish..”
