Alex frowned. He swung his hand and pushed the male corpse hard towards the sh.o.r.e. Then, he no longer cared if the male corpse could go ash.o.r.e.

Compared to a dead corpse, his safety was naturally more important. After Alex threw the male corpse away, he used both hands and paddled towards the sh.o.r.e with all his might. However, both ankles in the water were grabbed by the thing. Although Alex was no longer dragged back, he could not swim forward. They were in a stalemate.

Alexs ankle felt the same as the male corpse he had grabbed just now. He quickly thought about it. With the strength of the thing in the water now, as long as he didnt panic, he wouldnt die. With his stamina, he could last until the firefighters arrived, but it wouldnt do him any good to waste time like this because he didnt know what the thing in the water was or if this thing would suddenly erupt with strength.

At this moment, a green light flashed across the river. The parrot, Seven, held a yellow talisman in its mouth and flew to Alexs side. Then, it turned around and landed on Alexs head.

Alex:

Seven held the yellow talisman in its mouth and knocked Alexs head three times.

Alex was speechless. He reached out and grabbed the yellow talisman.

Seven flapped its wings and flew up again. It even cawed, Burn it! Burn it!

It turned out that Amelia, who was on the sh.o.r.e, was looking anxiously at the center of the river. When Alex was struggling, she saw dark energy surrounding Alex. It was too far away for her to go over, and the firefighter uncles had not arrived for a long time. In a moment of desperation, she saw Seven and immediately had an idea. She grabbed the yellow talisman she carried with her from her satchel and asked Seven to fly over and transport it to Alex.

Fortunately, Seven did not disappoint.

Alex held the yellow talisman and slapped it into the water! He had never used the yellow talisman before and did not know how to use it under such circ.u.mstances. However, when Seven hit his head with the yellow talisman in his mouth just now, it was useless, so he could only slap it into the river!

Alex was right! The ink-like river water in front of him actually burned with green flames. Alex felt the thing grabbing his ankle and suddenly let go of him!

The black river water quickly retreated, revealing the sparkling surface of the river that reflected the fireworks on both sides.

Alex seized the opportunity and quickly swam back. Just as he was about to reach the sh.o.r.e, he saw the male corpse again. It seemed to be caught by a branch that reached out from the river. He ignored it and returned to the sh.o.r.e.

Amelia lunged forward and hugged Alex. Tears welled in her eyes. Daddy

Alex stroked her head. Its fine.

What happened today was indeed strange, but Alex had experienced many life-and-death killing moments. It was much more dangerous than this.

After a while, the firefighters came and first went down to salvage the male corpse. The male corpses face was pale, and his eyes were open. The sight of him dying with remaining grievances frightened the onlookers on the sh.o.r.e.

Alex frowned. This male corpse Werent the eyes white previously? Why did his eyes turn back? In the middle of the night, on the river, the rescue boat flickered with red and blue lights. It searched and salvaged the river again and again. The middle-aged woman who was being controlled cried heartbreakingly, Daughter! My daughter!

After half an hour, there was still no result. Some people said that the girl might have been washed downstream, while others said that she might have sunk to the bottom of the river. In short, it was impossible for her to still be alive.

Sigh, if that woman didnt cause trouble just now, we might have been able to find her daughter.

Forget it, forget it. Lets not talk about it anymore. The deceased is the most important. She has already lost her daughter

When the middle-aged woman heard the words of the people around her, the more she listened, the more worried she became. How did it become her fault? She was just anxious! Every mother would be unable to help themselves when faced with that situation and disregard everything! Moreover, she didnt ask Alex to save her. Why did he come back? Why didnt he save her daughter!

The middle-aged woman was suffocated by the regret and self-blame in her heart. She suddenly rushed to Alex and punched and kicked him. Why didnt you save my daughter first! Why did you save a corpse! Why did you save me? You deserve to die! You really deserve to die! My daughter is only sixteen years old. You didnt save my daughter, you deserve to die! The middle-aged woman screamed and blamed Alex.

Amelia clenched her fists and shouted, No! Youre wrong! No! Her father did not deserve to die! She did not understand why her father had worked so hard to save her and in the end, it was her fathers fault..
