Suatu ketika di area sebuah waduk di China digemparkan dengan sering hilangnya warga setempat secara misterius. Beberapa orang yang datang ke waduk tersebut tidak pernah kembali lagi tanpa diketahui keberadaannya.
Karena penasaran, masyarakat sekitar daerah itu segera menyelidikinya. Dan hasilnya sangat mengejutkan. Mereka malah menemukan sebuah ikan lele raksasa sepanjang 3 meter dan lebarnya 1 meter.
Karena dicurigai hilangnya beberapa orang penduduk itu mungkin berkaitan dengan si lele, maka ikan lele raksasa tersebut ditangkap dan dibunuh rame-rame.
Hasilnya bisa Anda lihat di gambar ini. Si Lele dibantai hingga berdarah-darah. Selanjutnya apa yang didapatkan ketika perut si lele disembelih? Mari kita ngintip bersama.
