The water tower was right next to the pumping station, surrounded by a wasteland. Its style was the most traditional one many years ago: a tall, straight concrete tower with a large water tank on top. When Hao Ren was a child, he used to climb up the iron ladder outside the water tower. Now, when he thought of his mischievous skills, he found it unbelievable. Now, it seemed that it was not without reason that he kept a fish that was always looking for trouble. This was karma.
When they arrived, there was no one guarding the water tower. Lily quickly circled around the cement wall and found something unusual: the anti-gravity water flow was also visible here, and in some inconspicuous corners, there were even water lines floating in the air. If it were not for the fact that this place was desolate and remote, and the nearby workers who were inspecting the water tower would not pay attention to the corners, the phenomenon would have attracted the attention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Hao Ren was glad that he made the decision to come here. It proved that there was indeed a supernatural phenomenon here!
"There is indeed the smell of my kind..." Nangong Wuyue carefully sensed the place, and finally, her eyes widened. "Why would a siren come here?!"
When Hao Ren heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. He had long wanted to get to know a normal siren. The mysterious Ocean City at the bottom of the deep sea was a huge mystery that he could not forget. It was also the key to understanding the unusual phenomenon on Earth. However, Nangong Wuyue could not help in this regard. Normal sirens did not walk the earth, and most of the sirens that came ashore one or two hundred years ago were missing. He had not made much progress in this regard.
Now, there was a siren that came to the Southern Suburbs!
"The smell is coming from the water tank." Nangong Wuyue's eyes were slightly gleaming as she focused on the top of the water tower. "Let's go up and have a look."
After confirming that there was no one nearby, Hao Ren and his team immediately climbed up the water tower, and then looked around the circular iron frame at the top of the water tower and found the opening of the water tank. Nangong Sanba did not take much effort to open the rusty iron gate. When Hao Ren saw it, he was quite surprised. "Do demon hunters have the skills to pick locks?"
Nangong Sanba said, "… Let's roam the world, let's roam the world."
The large sink was a thick barrel with a thick top and a thin bottom. There was a stainless steel rack along the outer wall for maintenance, and below it was the sparkling water. The MDT flew out to act as a light source. Hao Ren peeked inside but found nothing.
"There's no one." Nangong Sanba also poked his head out to look for a long time. "Wuyue, did you sense wrongly?"
Nangong Wuyue shook her head and jumped down from the stainless steel rack. She stood steadily on the surface of the water. As she walked forward, she observed her surroundings carefully. "No … I can feel that she is inside the water … but she seems to be hiding."
Lily thought for a moment and shouted at the water, "Hey! Is there anyone inside? We are not bad people! We're here for something! "
Loud echoes and the sound of rushing water came from all around, but no one responded to Lily's call.
Vivian frowned and waved her hand to summon a swarm of little bats. The bats flashed with electricity. "Please come out and talk. We mean you no harm. But if you keep hiding, I'm going to electrify the water!"
As soon as Vivian's voice trailed off, everyone immediately took half a step back. Lily pointed at the stainless steel rack and the metal pipes that extended into the water. "Battie, can you not do this every time! You unlucky lightning, how many times have you killed your teammates! "
But no matter what, the water in the sink was still quiet. There was only the reverberating noise coming from the direction of the pipes.
Finally, Hao Ren could not stand it anymore. He took out a large plastic bottle from his Dimensional Pocket and pretended to pour it into the water below. "Listen up, the people inside. If you don't come out, I'm going to pour vinegar into the water! I don't have anything else but rice vinegar! "
He suddenly remembered that Wuyue's biggest weakness was vinegar. If she accidentally ate a little, she would be listless for the whole day. So, he came up with this plan. Of course, he could not really take out a few tonnes of vinegar from his Dimensional Pocket and pour it into the water. After all, it was water for the residents' daily use.
But the siren hiding there did not know if it was real or not. She reacted immediately. There was a splash in the water and a large amount of crystal clear liquid rose from the center of the sink. It quickly condensed into a translucent human figure. It looked like a young girl. A voice mixed with the sound of rushing water was heard. "Why are you so mean? Did I offend you by just looking for a place to sleep? "
Hao Ren smiled and kept the vinegar bottle. "Do you know that you've offended the entire city? You're lucky that we're here to check on the situation. Otherwise, it would be the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the demon hunters who would be here in two days. You'll be in big trouble! "
The human figure floated up and down in the water. It seemed to be very wary of the people in front of it. "Then who are you? How did you find me? And I can feel the aura of my kind around here … Could it be you? "
"It's me." Wuyue quickly waved her hand and her body quickly glowed. "Look, I'm also a siren."
However, the moment Nangong Wuyue revealed her identity, the siren became very agitated. She retreated to the edge of the water trough, water splashing around her. She said angrily, "I'm already like this and you're still not satisfied?! What's wrong with you? Why do you have to capture us? Who did we offend by loitering outside for two more days? "
Hao Ren immediately frowned when he heard this. He felt that there was a lot of information in the other party's words. "What do you mean? Who wants to capture you? Other sirens? "
"Playing dumb?" The strange siren looked at Hao Ren warily. Her face was transparent and not easy to recognize. "You've chased me all the way here with so many people. Aren't you here to capture me?"
Wuyue was also confused. But the first thing she did was to clarify the misunderstanding. "You've misunderstood. We don't know about this. I'm a siren born on the shore. You see, I don't melt into the water like you …"
"A terrestrial siren?" The water figure cautiously moved closer to Wuyue. "Indeed … Your aura is slightly impure. But I still can't believe you. Let me see your pure water. "
Wuyue nodded. She split a small water droplet from her body and flew it towards the other party. The strange siren melted the water droplet into her body. Only then did she let down her guard. "You're indeed not a pure siren. That's strange. I didn't expect a mixed-blood siren to live here. So, you're not here to capture me? "
Hao Ren spread out his hands. "I've said it from the beginning."
"Then why are you here?" The strange siren swam to them with the sound of water splashing. "How did you find this place?"
Hao Ren briefly explained the abnormality of the water nearby and how he came to investigate the situation. He then pointed to the surrounding water troughs. "Don't you know what this place is for?"
"I don't know." The strange siren was surprised to hear what Hao Ren said. "Isn't this just a big pool? Do you think I'd offend anyone by staying here? "
Hao Ren blinked and turned to look at Wuyue. "Are all sirens so lacking in common sense?"
"Otherwise, how could so many of those that came ashore be taken away by humans?" Wuyue looked embarrassed. "But to be honest … it's been more than a hundred years. It's rare to see a siren who hasn't grown up. I guess this one has been staying with some hidden family in the mountains."
The strange siren looked at Hao Ren and asked curiously, "Are you guys bad-mouthing me?"
Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. "No, no — can you get out of here? The situation you've caused has attracted the attention of ordinary people. It won't take long for the demon hunters to sniff you out. "
"I'm recuperating." The strange siren shook her head. "Can you provide me with a lot of fresh water? And it must be running water. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and turned to look at Wuyue. "Do you think the tap water at home can be used?"
He thought that the siren in front of him must have consumed a lot of water to recuperate in the water tower. So, when he asked, he did not have much hope. Unexpectedly, Wuyue nodded without thinking. "Of course it can be used. I only need a bathtub of water to reshape my body. It's enough."
It turned out that the strange siren did not need much water to recuperate. It was just that sirens were born with a love for water and always looked for places with more water.
She really found a good place.
