Chapter 568: Chapter 568 There is a problem with the spring water_1

"Grab the bandages, that man’s thigh and abdomen have been stabbed many times, he’s lost too much blood!"

Xian Qianling turned to you, slightly anxious, and said, "You go in and help them."

However, what she received was your indifferent refusal, "As long as an ambulance arrives within half an hour, the man won’t die, and I’m not a savior, let alone the justice-overloading hero in TV dramas, I can’t save everyone I see."

Speaking, you turned to the village chief behind you and asked, "Is Xu Tonghua, the name the little boy shouted earlier, someone from your village?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought hard, shaking his head, "No, I’ve never heard this name, and there’s no Xu family in our village."

You looked up to survey the environment and then asked Yan Fu by your side, "You’ve investigated the surroundings, haven’t you?"

"Yes, we’ve covered a two-kilometer radius."

"Did you find anything?"

Yan Fu shook his head, "Nothing at all."

Seeing Yan Fu’s gaze unintentionally stealing glances at Zhao’er, you couldn’t help but smile and say, "If you want to look at my girlfriend, why not walk up to her and take a good look in broad daylight."

No sooner had the words left your mouth than Zhao’er, who had been standing by Xian Qianling’s side, suddenly vanished!

"Be careful!"

Hu Qing let out a loud exclamation as every pore on Yan Fu’s body instantly dilated. Being one of Chu Sect’s combat personnel, he actually felt an inescapable sense of impending doom in that moment!

At the critical time, a hand pushed Yan Fu from the front, and Hu Qing simultaneously yanked the back of Yan Fu’s collar with a violent pull, causing Yan Fu to lean backward immediately.

In that moment, Yan Fu clearly smelled a faint fragrance, as well as a whiff of a desperate, terrifying aura that grazed his nose and flashed past.

With two loud "bangs!", a deep palm print surprisingly appeared on a rock wall some twenty meters away on the roadside!

There being two sounds meant only one thing, the incredibly frightening palm force had penetrated the rock and struck the ground!

"Ugh—"

Another Chu Sect member standing beside Yan Fu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, thinking he had actually stolen several glances at Zhao’er just a moment ago.

Watching Yan Fu with a grin, you showed an expression of unconcern on your face, "I forgot to mention, when Zhao’er was in Europe, she once destroyed a building."

Apart from you, no one knew Zhao’er was so terrifying!

Xian Qianling, though indirectly aware from Wu Qiyi that Zhao’er was an expert in ancient martial arts, never imagined she could easily penetrate rock with one palm. Had that palm strike hit Yan Fu’s head, needless to say, he’d be dead on the spot!

"I’m, I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean any offense."

Zhao’er glanced at Yan Fu with an impassive face, unchanged in expression, "It wasn’t Yun’s move, you would have been dead."

"Alright, now’s not the time for us to be infighting," said Hu Qing, an old hand on the scene, who saw at a glance that you were intentionally tripping Yan Fu up so that he and others around would learn a lesson.

After all, Zhao’er’s appearance and figure were too eye-catching, anyone with eyes would inevitably fix their gaze on her.

Since you have come, you will naturally settle matters here. You turn to Hu Qing and ask, "You said earlier that there are also villages nearby with people going crazy. Where exactly are they located?"

Hu Qing looks to the village head, who eagerly says, "Some are downstream, and some, like us, are in the mountains."

"Downstream?"

You touch your chin and frown, saying, "Could it have something to do with the water?"

"Water?" Hu Qing is startled, "Do you mean they’ve been poisoned?"

"Captain Hu, do you think that stinky, filthy water is poison?"

As you point your finger, the dirty water spat out by the boy earlier actually turns into a black smoke which, under the gaze of everyone, is slowly blown away by the wind.

"This..."

From Hu Qing’s actions just now, it was not hard to see that she was also an ancient martial arts expert; after all, being able to grab Yan Fu’s collar at the same time as Zhao’er took action shows her skill is not weak.

However, ancient martial arts masters are not from the same system as supernatural ghosts. Even though they know of the existence of superpowers and unusual beings during these times, they wouldn’t believe in waiting for supernatural ghosts; the talisman exorcism you just performed, she regarded only as some kind of technique.

At this moment, the boy is still unconscious in a villager’s arms, while his parents are being bandaged by Sun Mingyu and Rang Hongfei, just waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

Sun Mingyu and Rang Hongfei quickly walk over, with the former saying, "Captain, we’ve got it all clear. According to the child’s father, the kid was fine when he woke up in the morning, but for some reason, he suddenly let out a chilling, strange laugh, then rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and started stabbing people, constantly shouting Xu Tonghua’s name, saying he wanted to kill her and the like."

"Xu Tonghua, Xu Minjiao, who exactly are they, and why do these people call out their names? Who hates them so much that they transfer their resentment onto others, controlling them to commit violence?"

Not having seen the ghosts with her own eyes, Hu Qing refuses to believe it; she still insists that it is a psychic attack by some superpowered being.

Xian Qian Ling looks down at the boy whose complexion is gradually recovering and suddenly says, "Senior sister, didn’t you say before that boys under ten here get some sort of red rash? Why doesn’t he have one?"

The village head hears this and sighs, "A small part of the children don’t get the rash; we thought they were healthy at first, but it turns out they’re even more dangerous! What to do now? If this continues, we’re really done for!"

"Village head, does the rash you mentioned produce pus?" you ask.

"No," the village head shakes his head, "However, if the rash is broken open, the wound quickly ulcerates, and it turns black, which is quite frightening." As he speaks, a look of terror appears on the village head’s face.

Xian Qian Ling turns to you and says, "Can you remove the things from everyone like you did just now for the little boy?"

"There are too many people; I would be exhaust myself if I had to do it one by one. I need to set up a very large Talisman Formation, and it’s too energy-consuming to do it alone. After this matter is dealt with, I have other things to do and can’t expend too much energy here. To fundamentally resolve this issue, we must investigate the source." Saying this, you turn to the village head and ask, "Does your village drink tap water?"

"No, it’s all from mountain springs."

"So it’s stored in a reservoir built in the stream, then piped out?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"Is it the same in nearby villages?"

"Roughly, yes. Tap water doesn’t reach us here, and the mountain spring water is sweet. We all have water purifiers in our homes; there’s no need to drink tap water."

Touching your forehead, your previously furrowed brows relax slightly as you say, "It seems that the person behind this has cast the net quite wide with their Map Gun."
