Liang Lili said, "The recovery team said they have found Uncle's body, but for some reason, they can't bring it up."
I nodded, "I'll go take a look."
Liang Lili said worriedly, "Just be careful!"
I smiled, "Don't worry, I'm a professional Grave Robber."
With that, I strapped on my oxygen tank, put on my goggles, and jumped into the lake.
The water was clear and transparent, with high visibility.
However, the temperature was extremely cold.
I quickly acclimated to the water temperature and then began to dive down.
Before long, I found the location of the body.
It was the corpse of a middle-aged man, dressed in a Black Down Jacket, with a plump figure.
The body was suspended in the water, neither sinking nor rising to the surface.
It seemed to be held in place by some unseen force.
I slowly swam over and tied the body with a rope.
But just as I tightened the rope, I suddenly realized it had snapped!
What was going on?
I quickly switched to another rope, but this one also broke when I tried to tighten it!
It was truly eerie!
I quickly switched to another rope, this time using the Pig's Trotter Knot.
However, just as I tied the Pig's Trotter Knot, it came undone.
How strange!
Suddenly, I realized that someone was unlocking the rope!
But there was no one else underwater besides me; the only possible "person" was the corpse itself!
I recalled the taboo of grave robbers: never retrieve a corpse that has been submerged more than three times!
Such corpses might be entangled by water ghosts, and if a grave robber forcibly attempted to retrieve them, they could easily lose their life.
Moreover, grave robbers must not become entangled in karma; otherwise, not only would they suffer misfortune themselves, but their families would also be affected.
Thinking of this made me hesitate.
But then I remembered my previous experiences with body retrieval, where I had always turned danger into safety.
So I decided to take the risk and continue my efforts.
This time, I bound the corpse tightly, ensuring it wouldn't escape.
Yet the corpse seemed unwilling.
During the binding process, I felt as if a pair of eyes were watching me.
The feeling of something prickling at my back made me extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, the water around me seemed to be getting colder.
I hurriedly quickened my pace, trying to secure the body as quickly as possible.
Just as I tied the last knot, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes!
Our gazes locked, and we were less than ten centimeters apart!
"Ah!" I gasped, nearly screaming.
It was terrifying!
But for the reward of two hundred thousand, I had to hold it together.
So, I steeled myself and dragged the body toward the surface of the lake.
When I finally poked my head above the water, Liang Lili and the others quickly gathered around.
"How is it?" Liang Lili asked anxiously.
I shook my head. "It's no good; the body seems to be entangled with something and I can't pull it up."
Liang Lili looked a bit disappointed. "What should we do then?"
At that moment, the captain spoke up. "Why don't you try again?"
I hesitated.
At that moment, another person spoke up, "If you don't go, we won't hold back!"
I looked up and realized that the person was Guo Haoran, Liang Lili's new boyfriend!
"Guo Haoran? What are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.
Guo Haoran replied coldly, "I'm here to supervise you."
"Supervise us?" I asked, puzzled.
"That's right," Guo Haoran nodded.
"This is a matter between my husband and me. Why are you getting involved?" I questioned him.
Guo Haoran let out a cold laugh. "If it weren't for that two hundred thousand, do you think I would come to this rundown place?"
His words left me feeling somewhat perplexed.
At that moment, Liang Lili added, "That's right. That two hundred thousand is our joint property, so you must find a way to retrieve Uncle's body!"
Suddenly, everything clicked into place for me.
