Amelia shook her head in confusion and asked Alex, “Dad, what are they doing?”
Alex looked at the smoky riverbank and said, “This is probably because humans are scarier than ghosts.” Some people didn’t mind watching the commotion. In order to gain some popularity, they didn’t hesitate to make sarcastic remarks or add fuel to the fire. In their eyes, human lives were just tools that could help them earn money. These people looked like humans on the surface, but they were actually scarier than ghosts.
Amelia bit her lollipop and remained silent.
Alex said, “Mia, what do you need from Dad?”
Amelia shook her head. “Nothing much now.” Her master said that malicious ghosts were also divided into levels. Some malicious ghosts could only come out at night, but some malicious ghosts could also appear during the day. Yesterday, the malicious ghost had killed at least one boy and even grabbed Alex’s foot. She was worried that the malicious ghost was too powerful and would come out during the day to kill people, so she came out to take a look.
Alex said, “Then let’s go back?”
Amelia held the binoculars and suddenly said, “Wait, Dad. Let’s go to the other side. ”
Parks had been built on both sides of the river. However, there were many residences on this side, so there were many people by the river. On the other side, there were office buildings. There were very few people leisurely strolling by the river. At night, this contrast would be even more obvious. It was lively here, and cold on the other side.
Shawn had been livestreaming by the river for more than two hours. His mouth was dry and his skin was about to peel from the sun, but there were still very few people in the livestream. He was very angry. Why was it that while others’ livestreams were so popular, his livestream was cold and empty? He unscrewed a bottle of water and looked at the only eleven viewers in the livestream. He was no longer in the mood to continue livestreaming.
Just as Shawn was drinking water, he suddenly saw a tall man carrying a little girl away from the crowd. The man’s height was too outstanding. The little girl rode on his neck and was much taller than the crowd. At this moment, the surrounding crowd was craning their necks to look at the river. The people holding cell phones were also filming the river, so no one noticed the father and daughter.
Shawn’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t this Amelia?! He had edited Amelia’s video for so many days that he was more familiar with Amelia than anyone else, so he recognized her at a glance! He immediately packed his things and followed! In his heart, Amelia was equivalent to traffic!
It was time to get off work. There were people coming and going. There were car horns, bus horns, and the voices of people chatting. Some people stopped and pointed at the river to discuss.
“The corpse fishing boat is still searching! Have you seen the news today? A boy jumped into the water to save someone without caring about his own safety. The person who fell into the water was saved, but he never came up himself.’
“Didn’t you say that the person who saved her went ashore?”
“That’s the previous news. The latest news just now is that the officials have confirmed the identity of the boy who died. He’s a third-year high school student nearby. The person who went ashore was the second person to jump down to save people. I heard that he’s a very tall man.”
“It’s too pitiful. You saved someone else but lost your life.���
After coming out of the shore, Alex put Amelia down and held her hand as they walked on the sidewalk. He pursed his lips when he heard everyone’s discussion. These people were right. When he jumped down, the two girls had already been saved by the boy. Alex speculated that after the boy jumped down, he first pulled the two girls out and then saved the third one, but he couldn’t come up. The only doubt now was where the third girl was. Logically speaking, if three girls fell into the water at the same time, even if the third girl drowned before they could be rescued, her corpse should be not far from the river. Also, the boy died very strangely. He didn’t seem to have died of
exhaustion…
“Go down that way,” Alex said, pointing. “A hundred meters beyond the bridge is a side entrance to the park opposite. We can go straight in there.”
Alex brought Amelia into the park and realized that there were many live streamers here. Although it was not as lively as the opposite side, there were still a lot of people, Most of the streamers followed the boats and even carried equipment to change places from time to time, so Alex did not notice Shawn following behind for a moment.
Amelia was holding a small compass, which Elmer had given her..
