Chapter 362 The Water Monster Appears

No one expected Lisa to do this, including Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi.

The knight did not dare to act rashly. He raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons in his hands and had no intention of fighting back. Then he asked:

"Lisa? What are you doing?"

"I have no obligation to answer your questions. Give me your weapons!"

Lisa's voice was cold. She did not answer the knight's question, but instead tried to confiscate the weapons of the knight and Sun Xiaoqing.

The knight's eyes turned cold. When he was about to take out his weapons and try to fight Lisa, he suddenly heard Lisa say:

"Wait."

Lisa stopped the two who were about to take action and turned to look at Li Qi: "An, come here."

Hearing Lisa's words, the expressions of Sun Xiaoqing and the knight changed.

The knight said anxiously: "Lisa! What do you want to do!"

Sun Xiaoqing was also surprised: "You want to take children as hostages? You..."

Before, she thought Lisa liked children very much and had a good attitude towards Li Qi, but now looking at Lisa's appearance, her previous attitude towards Li Qi might be a disguise.

Sun Xiaoqing knew that Li Qi was special and that he was not an ordinary child, but even so, she could not guarantee that Li Qi would be safe in Lisa's hands.

In this strange town, it seemed that anything could happen.

The anxious words of the two did not shake Lisa's decision. She continued to say to Li Qi:

"An, listen to me, come here, if you don't want your aunt and this uncle to get into trouble, come to me."

When facing Li Qi, Lisa's tone was obviously softer.

It didn't look like she was going to do anything bad to Li Qi.

Li Qi thought for a second and walked towards Lisa.

"Meng An! Don't go over there!"

The knight immediately dissuaded him, but was kicked to the ground by Lisa: "Don't talk too much!"

When Lisa kicked the knight to the ground, she was still pointing a gun at the knight, not giving him a chance.

Li Qi watched her movements and expressions, and saw some trained shadows from her.

The police will go through some combat training, and there seems to be nothing suspicious about Lisa in this regard.

But Li Qi felt that some of Lisa's movements did not look like police fighting techniques. Judging from her alert movements and the way she held the gun, she was at least not an ordinary police officer.

While thinking, Li Qi had come to Lisa's side.

This time, Lisa pointed the gun at Li Qi, then turned to face the two people in front of her and said:

"Okay, this time, hand over all your weapons, and... tell me how to leave here."

Lisa said in a cold voice, as if she wanted to take Li Qi as a hostage.

But Li Qi could feel that Lisa did not really want to shoot Li Qi, she was just pretending.

So Lisa's behavior was just to find the knight and Sun Xiaoqing to ask for a way to leave the town?

Li Qi was confused.

He always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

...

Vincent and Lin Hui came to the small lake in the forest.

Li Qi followed them, manipulating the two different selves in his mind in a dual thread, while also looking at the small lake in front of him.

Perhaps because Li Qi's previous behavior was not like that of an ordinary child, Vincent and Lin Hui did not stop him when Li Qi followed them to the lake.

They just stood by the lake, took out their pistols, and looked at the small lake in the forest vigilantly.

After the two came to the lake, they began to carefully look for traces of monsters by the lake. Not long after, they really found some traces of water monsters.

It was on the lawn on the side of the lake. There were traces of being dragged by something on the lawn. Lin Hui also found a trace of scales around the traces.

Scales like huge fish scales.

"It seems that water monsters do exist."

Lin Hui looked at the scales in his hand and confirmed this fact again.

Vincent stood aside in silence, his eyes resting on the sparkling lake, trying to find the water monster hidden in it.

But no matter how he looked, the lake was unusually calm, and there was no abnormality.

Li Qi took the novel that recorded the water monster and read the plot:

"'Wilson accidentally got a notebook that recorded the habits of the water monster. The notebook looked very old, with yellowed pages, curled corners, and even the handwriting inside faded a little due to the long time.'

"'... But Wilson couldn't care about these at the moment. He couldn't wait to open the notebook and look for the record about the water monster. One of them attracted Wilson's attention. It was recorded that... the water monster is a creature that hides during the day and comes out at night. If you want it to appear during the day, there is only one way...'"

Li Qi read this, closed the novel, and looked up at the two people who looked here because of his voice:

"Fresh blood will arouse the appetite of the water monster, and the more tender the blood, the easier it is to lead the water monster out. "

"Fresh... tender blood..."

Vincent muttered these words, and he thought of something in a trance, and looked at Li Qi suddenly:

"You want...! "

Before Vincent finished speaking, Li Qi took the initiative to say: "If you really want to lure out the water monster to deal with it, I can help you."

As he spoke, Li Qi took out a small knife with a scabbard, turned it flexibly with his right hand, and then said: "But before dealing with the water monster, I think you should set up a trap first."

Li Qi's expression was calm and composed, and the child's face revealed a mature expression that did not belong to this age group.

The mixture of simplicity and vicissitudes of life in his body gave people an extremely strange feeling.

It felt like being suddenly blown by a cold wind in the deep mountains and forests. It was not creepy, but it was enough to make people shiver.

Even though Vincent knew that Li Qi was very 'smart', he couldn't help but ask solemnly at this moment:

"...who are you?"

"It's just a 'traveler' who is trying to find a way out like you. Okay, make a decision quickly. Should you do this and wait, or should you set a trap now and let me lure it out?"

Li Qi said and looked up at the sky: "Today...it seems like it will get dark very quickly."

It was a good thing that Li Qi didn't say it. Vincent and Lin Hui noticed that it was clearly early in the morning, but now it was already noon.

Lin Hui took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, and found that the time was 12:10 noon.

And it was clearly just after eight o'clock when they came out.

The distance from the edge of the town to this small lake was not far. Even if a few people stopped and walked to look for traces of the water monster, it would only take an hour at most, and it would probably be less than that.

Where did the remaining three hours go?

Vincent and Lin Hui looked at each other, and they could see the shock and panic in each other's eyes.

The inexplicable appearance of the water monster and the sudden passage of time represent new and strange changes in this town.

But they don't have time to think about why the town has changed.

Time is running faster, and they must act now if they want to return to the town before night arrives.

Thinking of this, Lin Hui no longer asked Li Qi's identity. He quickly put down the backpack he was carrying, took out the trap tools, handed some of them to Vincent, and said:

"Hurry up, we have limited time."

"Lisa hasn't arrived yet..."

"It's too late to wait for her. Let's set up a trap first to attract the water monster to come out."

Sensing the change of time, Lin Hui no longer cared about waiting for Lisa to come for help. He planned to set up a trap with Vincent first.

After hearing what Lin Hui said, Vincent looked down at the trap tool in his hand, then turned to look at Li Qi who was playing with the knife. After thinking for a long time, he said to Li Qi:

"I'll leave it to you to attract the water monster later."

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Li Qi smiled back at Vincent, then turned his eyes away to the lake.

Because of Li Qi's two explorations, new events occurred in the town. According to the terminology of the game, it was probably a version update with the addition of new monsters and new copies.

Li Qi guessed that this was probably something used by the people behind the scenes to deal with him. Of course, this was not absolute. Perhaps this was the natural evolution of the town, and Li Qi just accelerated it.

But no matter what, the water monsters that exist here have to be dealt with.

This may weaken the power of the person behind the scenes who controls the strange objects.

Anyway, that's what Li Qi thought.

Vincent and Lin Hui have good hands-on skills, and the trap was quickly set up.

It was a restraint trap set up with nets and ropes to restrain the prey and prevent it from escaping.

On the way here, Vincent and Lin Hui also read Cole's novel and determined that the monster was huge and agile. If it couldn't hit the vital point with a pistol, it would be almost a miss. .

If you want to hit the vital point accurately, you need to change the water monster from a moving target to a fixed target.

In this case a bondage trap is a good choice.

The restraint trap was properly arranged, and Li Qi stood behind the trap and looked at the lake in front of him.

His eyes moved over the lake, as if he could see the water monster under the surface of the lake.

After watching this for a minute, Li Qi finally took action.

He took out the knife without hesitation and slashed it hard on the palm of his left hand. A deep wound appeared in the palm of his hand.

Blood flowed from the palm of his hand and fell on the restraint trap. Then Li Qi waved his left hand, and more blood was evenly sprinkled on every corner of the trap.

Li Qi's decisiveness and expressionless face left Vincent and Lin Hui speechless.

Looking at the wound on the palm of Li Qi's hand, even they felt pain, as if they were feeling the bursts of phantom pain, but Li Qi was unaware of it, as if he was not the one with the wound on his hand.

Vincent and Lin Hui had different thoughts, but they were not in the mood to think about who Li Qi was.

Just ten seconds after Li Qi made the wound, bubbles appeared on the lake surface as if boiling.

In less than two seconds, a huge monster jumped into the air like a fish jumping out of the water, and then fell from the air and landed next to the lake shore.

At that moment, everyone saw what the monster looked like.

It has a huge head, a long crocodile tail, a body covered in scales, and a body like an elephant.

Just standing there gives people a chilling sense of oppression!

This is the water monster.

The ‘snowy mountain lake monster’ that only existed in novels but now exists in reality!
