Chương 20: Chapter 18
Because of being caught, Mia was rarely quiet for a few days. She no longer thought about going out or how to start a new adventure. Instead, she stayed in the manor to study hard and read books. Write your own book report, and strive to make everyone who sees her say that she is a good child.
So when the man with white hair and strange clothes appeared in her room and told her that she was the river god of this area, she did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at him doubtfully and asked him who he just said she was. What.
"It's the River God," the man replied with a smile, "You are the new River God in this area."
"Is it the River God with the golden ax and the silver axe?" Mia asked again. She only knew this river god.
"Yes." The man nodded. He told her in concise words that the river god who was originally in charge of Gotham was always too strange and inconsistent with current values because the things thrown into the river were so for the sake of his own physical and mental health. For this reason, he resigned some time ago and prepared to be reincarnated into another world as a salted fish.
Unexpectedly, because everyone now believes in some god, the God of Wealth, the River God is seriously short of manpower, and the River Gods in other places are unwilling to take over Gotham's mess, so he has no choice but to find the next one first. Only after becoming a river god can you find a big truck to be reincarnated.
"After my careful selection, young child, you were chosen to become the new River God." The man, no, it should be said that it was the previous River God, continued, and he looked at Mia with trusting eyes. , that look seems to be saying, you are the chosen one, and only you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming the River God.
If it were any other child, he would probably have eagerly agreed when he said the first sentence. After all, not everyone can resist this feeling of being completely trusted by others.
But now Mia is still in the guilty conscience stage - the kind of person who understands that she has caused trouble after doing something wrong, and in order not to make her parents so angry, she will become better behaved, her mind will be clearer, and she will not do anything again. Go and challenge authority for a while.
So she was not fooled by those trusts, but looked at the River God with a frown, "Although, can I ask what that thing that is not in line with values is?" she asked.
"Actually, it's corpses, guns, and some other things that may be blocked if you say them." Heshen replied slowly. He even winked at her when he mentioned those words, sold. So cute.
This made Mia swallow in horror. Of course, this panic was not because of his cuteness, although that was enough to give people goosebumps, but because of the things he said.
Although she has seen some big scenes over the years, not everyone can save Batman, and she has also acted with the Teen Titans, but this time it sounds completely different from the previous ones. At that time, she wouldn't see any guns/munitions or anything that would be shielded.
"But, I... I mean, I haven't finished my homework yet, so I'm afraid I can't take on this important task and become the river god." Mia declined politely, and she raised the homework book she hadn't written much to. In front of him, he tried to prove to him that he really couldn't become the River God because of his homework.
"It doesn't matter," He Shen still looked at her with a smile. He took out three homework books from nowhere, "Such a young child, did you drop this golden homework book that has been completed, or this one? What about the finished silver homework, or the finished ordinary homework?"
Mia: ...
Mia: "No, I didn't drop my homework."
"You are such an honest and good boy, so this All three homework books will be rewarded to you." River God said, he happily placed the three homework books neatly in Mia's hand, and then looked at her expectantly, "It seems that now you You have finished your homework, can you become the River God?"
Mia: ...
Okay, although Mia has tried hard to refuse, but under the River God's persuasion - he said that minors were watching Her eyes will automatically code when she sees something she shouldn't see, and if she becomes the River Goddess, she can help people who are worried about things falling into the river.
"Imagine, if there is no River God in Gotham, then people who accidentally drop their hard-earned things into the river will never be able to find them again." The River God said, and he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve. Hypocritically wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he was really feeling sorry for those who dropped things.
As an acting professional, Mia certainly couldn't be deceived by his careless acting skills, but as a kind-hearted child, she couldn't really ignore those who dropped things knowing the consequences. people.
So after making sure that Ah Fu and the others would never find out about her becoming the River God, and that as long as she wanted, she could go back to her room directly without going through the door and those monitors, she agreed to the River God. request.
She stood at the bottom of the river wearing a mask (because of what happened during this time she had become accustomed to wearing a mask when going out in some unusual identity), small fish swam past her, and they hid in the one behind her Items in the pile to avoid attacks from other animals.
The river god told her that they were all things that had fallen from the shore over the years. Because no one came to the river to claim them, he piled them in the corner.
"But the river god shouldn't have floated to the surface the moment something fell and asked the owner, did you drop this golden ax or this silver ax?" Mia asked. She looked at the pile of items curiously. In addition to axes and chainsaws, there were many other things that she didn't know why they were there.
"Well, well," River God scratched his head guiltily, "You know, even as a god, he needs entertainment and sleep." "
So what you mean is that when those things fall, you Are you playing games or sleeping?" Mia said disapprovingly, frowning and glaring at him.
But River God didn't care about this. He held the mobile phone that had just fallen from the shore and asked Mia to look at him, preparing to demonstrate River God's work process to her first.
Mia also nodded after hearing his words. She stared at him with the most serious attitude. She saw the river god first tidying up his hair and clothes, then coughing twice and clearing his throat. , and finally slowly walked to the water and asked, "Young social beast, did you drop this gold mobile phone, this silver mobile phone, or this ordinary mobile phone?" "
Gold." The young social beast did not have any trace of it. replied hesitantly.
But the river god ignored his words. He held up the mobile phone in his hand and asked him again which one he had dropped, while also reminding him to think clearly.
"Then it's all mine." After hearing his words, the social animal thought for a while, then decisively took out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at the river god, "Okay, now give me back my things. "
River God:...
"I knew I should resign as soon as possible. Who the hell would want to be a River God in Gotham!!!" After being threatened by the social beast, the River God returned to the bottom of the river and shouted autistically. , he curled up into a ball and nestled in the cave.
This made Mia a little worried. She approached him cautiously. She originally wanted to take a piece of paper from her pocket so that he could wipe away his tears that could not be seen in the water, but after putting her hand into her pocket, she She remembered that this place was at the bottom of a river, and the paper became wet when she entered the river, making it useless.
But opposite those tissues were her clothes and hair, which looked no different from when they were on the shore. The river god told her that after she agreed to become the river god, she could breathe in the water, and her hair and clothes would become waterproof accordingly.
"After all, as a formally established position, we can't let Heshen get sick and catch a cold because of wet clothes and wet hair." Heshen once told her.
"It's okay, what happened just now was definitely just an accident, and now that I know the work process, you should be able to retire and find the truck." Mia comforted.
The river god also cheered up instantly after hearing her words. After all, this was a good candidate he finally found who was willing to succeed him as the new River God. He couldn't scare her and make her realize the cruelty of this job in the first hour of work.
So while he was muttering, "Yes, that's right, it was an accident. Now let me find
another one to show you the correct work process.", while confidently standing up from the corner where he had just closed himself, and He also randomly selected one item from the fallen items and returned to the water again, asking the people on the shore whether he dropped the gold key, the silver key, or the ordinary key in his hand.
"Ah? I didn't drop my keys, but a couple just threw a bunch of keys in the river when they were quarreling. Now they have been taken away by the police." The passers-by who were sitting on the chairs and watching the whole process replied, he used an inquiring expression Looking at the River God, "But is your key pure gold? If you don't mind, I can hold it for them."
River God:...
Mia:...
Forget it, I'd better go back and don't become the River God. Come on. Mia thought as she looked at the River God who had retracted herself into the corner again.
She looked at the fallen coin hesitantly, and after confirming that the river god was completely autistic and no longer wanted to do work, she put the coin in her pocket, and then went to the water like the river god just now.
A boy was lying on the shore anxiously looking for the coin he had dropped. That was the salary he just received from the cake shop owner. If he couldn't find it, he wouldn't have money to eat today.
Just when he was debating whether to jump in, suddenly a girl came out of the river. She was wearing a strange mask and her clothes were not dripping. She also asked him whether he dropped gold coins or silver coins.
This made the boy a little scared. For a while, all the legends about water ghosts he had heard appeared in his mind, the girls who were killed and dumped in the water, or the children who drowned in the water... because there was still something in his heart. If there is resentment, on rainy nights, they will come to the shore from the bottom of the river to look for a scapegoat who can relieve themselves.
Although it's not raining now, and it's not night time at all, who knows if this ghost has changed the rules and is preparing to come up early to find the scapegoat.
"I...you, don't come over. I'm thin and small and haven't taken a shower for several days. I really can't be your scapegoat. Besides, Mimi is still waiting for me at home. If I die, it will be very painful." Sad!!!" The boy cried and shouted, and he sat limply on the ground.
This made Mia feel a little confused. She didn't know what happened, but she still raised the coins in her hand dedicatedly, and then patiently repeated the question just now.
"You, don't you want to drag me to the bottom of the river as a scapegoat?" the boy asked again, with tears still on his face. After receiving Mia's negative answer, he stared at the two coins blankly, hesitating. After a while, he whispered that what he dropped was a one-dollar coin.
"Very good, you are an honest child. In order to reward your honesty, I will give you all three coins." Mia nodded and said, she put the coins on the boy's disbelieving eyes. in his hands, and then returned to the bottom of the river as he shouted "Wait a minute".
At this time, He Shen had completely recovered from the blow just now. He patted Mia on the shoulder with a look of relief. At the same time, he put the "Employee Code: He Shen Chapter" in her hand and told her that she She had done a good job just now, and now she was a qualified river god, and he could safely hand over this important task to her for reincarnation.
"But I..." Mia wanted to say something more after hearing what He God said, but before she could finish speaking, He God interrupted her. He told her firmly that she must believe in him, and then led him The luggage appeared out of nowhere and ran away quickly, leaving her standing there alone.
Mia, who just wanted to ask him what to do with the things piled over there:...
Mia: Otherwise, I'd better just go find the next successor to the River God and run away...
