Chapter 291 The World of Emotion
"What a joke! Didn't they say that the man was swimming back with the woman in his arms?" The middle-aged man was the person in charge of the operation. He immediately questioned when he heard this.
"I don't know either. Because of the light, we only saw the woman seemed to sink, and the man immediately dived underwater, and then the two of them never came up again!"
"You idiot, you're not still looking at that place, are you?"
“Hah!”
"Idiot, get more flashlights to illuminate the surrounding area. If we don't have enough manpower, ask the citizens for help, and tell those people to drive the car out quickly!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man immediately adjusted the radio and shouted, "Where is the search and rescue team? Two people who fell into the water are suspected to be drowning. Please rush to the scene as soon as possible!"
"We are still 400 meters away from the accident site. We will be there soon. However, because we are almost there... the lighting is insufficient. If you cannot provide us with the location of the people who fell into the water, we can only slow down and approach. After all, with this kind of visibility, if we drive fast and hit them, it will be a big deal!"
"Are you kidding me? Are you trying to evade your responsibilities at a time like this?"
"Officer Li, we are only here to help you with the search and rescue. You have lost track of the drowning person, so we can only slow down. But don't worry, we will also help find the location of the drowning person!"
"Sibal!"
The middle-aged police officer cursed harshly, but there was nothing he could do at the moment because the place where he fell into the water was several hundred meters away from the shore.
"Sibal, you just got promoted this year, you can't be so unlucky, right?"
The middle-aged police officer was a little worried at this time. If two bodies were really salvaged, he would be 100% finished.
He remembered that his former boss resigned under pressure from his superiors because the death toll at Mapo Bridge reached 70% of the people who jumped into the river last year. He was forced to resign due to the pressure from his superiors after several calls failed to save people who jumped into the river in the middle section. Of course, sometimes people only knew someone jumped into the river after a body was found. But even when receiving a call, the rescue rate was still less than 30%.
"Officer Li, how about we get someone to jump down and search? We should have someone here who is good at swimming, so this height shouldn't be a problem!"
"You must be joking. Who's going to jump? And what if something goes wrong in this situation? Wouldn't that mean another person will jump into the river? Do you have any brains?"
"Now we can only pray that the man is okay, or has swam away from that area!" Officer Li said solemnly. He felt helpless when encountering such a thing. If he was closer, he would have jumped into the water himself. If not for anything else, he had to fight for his future.
The policeman at the side shrugged helplessly, but a trace of gloating flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself: "Maybe he was captured by a water ghost . Let's see what you can do this time!"
Jin Hyun-A sat on the rocking chair on the balcony, listening to the radio nervously. She was extremely worried about the uncle, and at the same time, she would stare blankly at the fence because the little fox that had been calling suddenly squeezed out from the gap in the fence and then... jumped off the building. This scared her so much that her brain was not working properly. At this moment, she was worried about the uncle and the little fox, but she didn't know what to do.
"By the way, go downstairs, go downstairs and take a look!"
Kim Hyun-A hurriedly picked up the radio and ran out of the house.
“Woo!”
Zheng Xiuheng kissed the woman again. Although most of the gas he exhaled was carbon dioxide, it still had a little effect. However, Zheng Xiuheng's face turned red, but it was not visible in the dark river water.
Zheng Xiuheng's extraordinary vision was also useless in the cold river water. Apart from the rough outline of the woman in his arms, he could not see anything else.
But Zheng Xiuheng was very clear that there was something under the water pulling his legs, and perhaps also pulling this woman.
Zheng Xiuheng was not very opposed to the talk of ghosts. Although he did not have the abnormal perception as rumored, nor the so-called yin-yang eyes, people like him had had countless near-death experiences, the kind in which the soul flew out of the body and floated in the darkness, with the constant calls of relatives in his ears.
Of course, this cannot be said to be the soul leaving the body, but Zheng Xiuheng does not reject the idea of soul leaving the body, nor does he care much about it.
During this period of time, he has been certain that some supernatural phenomena have occurred to him. He even feels that he must have died on that day due to the side effects. The feeling of passing through things before death and the soul leaving as if it is about to become independent is not unfamiliar to him.
Coupled with what Lee Hyori said about herself being like a wild beast that day, Zheng Xiuheng's thoughts are basically becoming recognized facts.
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng was wondering if there really was a water ghost here.
In folk legends, a water ghost refers to the soul of a person who died accidentally or committed suicide and was unable to be reincarnated. The soul then harms people and serves as a scapegoat so that they can be reincarnated . It is also called a water monkey.
This is one of the hardest-hit suicide areas in South Korea. There are at least thousands of people who have died here. The Mapo Bridge has been built for 30 years, and people have died here every month in recent years. This is indeed a hard-hit area. Zheng Xiuheng thinks it is normal to have water ghosts.
But Zheng Xiuheng was very clear at this moment that this was not the reason why the water ghost was looking for a scapegoat. If this was really the case, there would be no survivors from jumping into the river here. No matter how they were rescued, humans were still far inferior to ghosts.
What Zheng Xiuheng could be sure of at this moment was that it must be something in his chest that caused this.
Compared to Zheng Xiuheng's still clear thoughts , Liu Renna's mind was a little fuzzy, but she still knew that DJ Zheng Xiuheng was saving her. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt like crying. She was grateful to Zheng Xiuheng, but more importantly, she didn't want to die.
So people are always like this. They will not feel extremely regretful until they have done something that is obviously wrong.
For the first time, Zheng Xiuheng felt satisfied with the "quiet" look of the woman in his arms. If she continued to struggle at this time, Zheng Xiuheng might really let her go, because now it was no longer a question of whether to save her or not.
I don't know how to describe the current situation, but the power under water is very strong, but fortunately it seems to have reached its limit. Zheng Xiuheng in the water also couldn't use all his strength because he was holding a woman, and of course his strength was reduced in the water.
Zheng Xiuheng tried to lift his legs with force, and he was still able to do so, but it was as if he was hanging a hundred-pound weight. In this situation, Zheng Xiuheng could only rely on his body and one arm to swim upwards as hard as he could. However, the actual result was not a real stalemate, but that both of them were slowly sinking. Although the speed was not fast, they were already more than one meter away from the water surface.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't want to die like this. No matter if he was a water ghost or something else, if he died for saving such a woman, Zheng Xiuheng really felt it was too ridiculous. At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng stopped paddling with his left hand, and placed it on the woman's waist.
"Whether you can survive depends on your luck!"
Although Zheng Xiuheng really wanted this guy to be caught by the "water ghost", he did not do so in the end. However, his breath had of course reached its limit. Even if his body was really abnormal, he still needed air to survive.
Liu Renna, who was close to coma, suddenly woke up completely. The severe pain in her waist made her unable to stay awake.
Just as Liu Inna's eyes widened and she felt the river water rushing into her mouth and nose, she suddenly felt her body rising up.
Zheng Xiuheng's arms were really throbbing with veins at this moment. He used all his strength without reservation and threw the woman in his arms upwards like pulling a carrot. At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng didn't care whether he hurt her or not.
Zheng Xiuheng, who has used all his strength, can no longer be described as a beast. A man who can punch through a wall with one punch has strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
Just like that, Liu Inna jumped out of the Han River like a carp, flew high, and then hit the river surface five or six meters away.
"Bang!"
"There, there!"
The people on the bridge spotted Liu Inna flying out at the first moment, and shone their flashlights over there. Suddenly everyone noticed the woman splashing in the water.
The light on the rescue boat twenty meters away also found the struggling woman. The rescue boat slowly moved forward, and the two lifeguards on the boat quickly jumped into the water and swam over.
Liu Inna struggled for a while, and although she felt pain from falling into the water, she soon found that the pulling feeling under her feet disappeared. She calmed down, kicked her feet, and floated in the water. Finally, she came to her senses at this time. Liu Inna looked at the river not far away, and self-blame and guilt came like a tide.
"What on earth have I done?!"
Zheng Xiuheng is afraid, but he is not afraid of anything happening to him. Perhaps it is because he has experienced too much suffering, both mentally and physically, and Zheng Xiuheng has long been accustomed to it. Although it is said that only those who have experienced death can understand the fear of death, if you always experience this, you will always be able to see things more clearly.
But at this moment, Zheng Xiuheng would not let it go, and he absolutely would not let it go.
Maybe I have been too immersed in the world of emotions during this period...
Feelings are always half and half, sometimes making people strong and sometimes making people fragile, and this strength and fragility are accompanied by multiple meanings.
I don’t know if it’s because of Zheng Dabin, but Zheng Xiuheng even had the idea that he was a “gentle person”, even if it was just a little bit.
In addition to the pressure from relationships and various events, at this moment Zheng Xiuheng realized that he had really changed and was no longer so concerned about many things.
