Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Mountain Pool_1

"You’re saying there’s something wrong with this water?" Hu Qing furrowed his brows as he looked at you.

"Yes," you replied.

"But we had someone test the water quality half a month ago. The report showed that the mountain water here met all standards, and it was actually pretty good mineral water,"

You smiled, "There are some things that instruments can’t detect."

"What things?"

You didn’t respond to Hu Qing’s question. After all, with different beliefs, it wasn’t necessary to waste words at this time.

You turned to the village chief and said, "Take me to the water source first, please."

"Okay."

With the scene that had just unfolded, the village chief was considerably polite to you, and so were the others, who no longer dared to sneak peeks at Zhao’er. Moreover, they naturally kept their distance from Zhao’er and Xian Qianling. Who would want Zhao’er to slap their head, causing their brains to burst and their life to end with a single blow?

Leading the way, the village chief and the group headed towards the back mountain of Woniu Village.

The villagers had deliberately built a cement pathway leading to the water reservoir on the back mountain. Therefore, it took less than ten minutes for you to reach the reservoir.

The exterior of the reservoir was constructed with cement. At the bottom joint, a thick water pipe extended directly to the village; while the interior of the reservoir was laid with white tiles for easy cleaning. Just from the looks of it, it indeed appeared very clean.

"We have three water reservoirs in our village, and they are cleaned regularly, so there shouldn’t be anything dirty inside... right?"

At the end of his sentence, the village chief added a tone that revealed his belief that supernatural forces must be at work. Naturally, he regarded you as their village’s lifesaver.

"Let’s take a look first."

You gently closed your eyes, and when you opened them again, the Sen Luo Curse Mark was already visible in your pupils.

"Wow."

The moment you opened your Sen Luo Eye, you couldn’t help but let out a soft exclamation.

"What’s the matter?" Xian Qianling immediately looked at you with a tense expression.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I was just overwhelmed by the beauty of this place," you replied.

You weren’t lying. With the Sen Luo Eye opened, you saw Spiritual Energy flowing through the mountain streams and trees, the kind of energy that was nurtured by nature, greatly beneficial to all living beings.

Of course, this type of nature’s Spiritual Energy existed in every mountain range, especially in those famous mountains and rivers that were teeming with it. This was the reason why powerful figures always liked to establish their practice grounds in such places.

Xian Qianling and Hu Qing exchanged glances. Of course, they couldn’t see the Sen Luo Curse Mark in your eyes, nor could they know that the world as you saw it was completely transformed.

Walking alone to the edge of the water reservoir, you looked inside: "Wow, there really is something."

As soon as you said this, the already tense nerves of everyone tightened, and some of the detectives even instinctively reached for their waists.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, you couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Don’t get excited. I’ve just found a clue, haven’t found the culprit yet."

Upon hearing this, Xian Qianling suddenly remembered something, took out a bottle of eye drops from her pocket, and in front of everyone, dripped two drops into her eyes.

At the same time, Sun Mingyu also took out a bottle of eye drops identical to Xian Qianling’s, which was labeled with "Supernatural Detective Agency," and dripped two drops into his eyes as well. Then, he passed the bottle to Rang Hongfei beside him: "Here, drip two drops into each of your eyes."

During this period, Rang Hongfei had come to understand the supernatural detective society in a different light, and since the captain and his good friend had already done it, it seemed natural for him to follow suit.

"Little Ling, what is this stuff?"

Hu Qing couldn’t help but examine the eye drops Xian Qianling handed to her closely, holding them in the palm of her hand.

Smiling at Hu Qing, Sun Mingyu said, "Captain Hu, these are special eye drops made by the supernatural detective society. After being dropped into your eyes, you can see things that wander between the worlds of the living and the dead for two hours."

Hu Qing’s brows furrowed: "Little Sun, we’re criminal police, such jokes are not appropriate, right?"

Xian Qianling, too lazy to explain to Hu Qing, went straight up to her and dropped two drops of the potion into each of her eyes, then turned to Sun Mingyu beside her and said, "Drop some into the eyes of the others too, let them see for themselves. It might broaden their approach to future cases."

Looking at the half bottle of eye drops he was holding, Sun Mingyu sighed and said, "Ah, there goes another two hundred yuan down the drain."

After applying the eye drops, Hu Qing and Xian Qianling took turns standing by your side. When Hu Qing looked at the water inside the reservoir, she narrowed her eyes and scrutinized it carefully, noticing that the water was somewhat black.

"Little Ling, my eyesight is not too good, could you check if this water is turning black?"

"Mmm," Xian Qianling nodded in confirmation.

"That can’t be right, our water here is very clean," the village head quickly defended, but he too showed a look of surprise when he came up after using the eye drops, "This is impossible!"

When everyone turned to look at you, you had already scooped up a little of the mountain spring water from the reservoir, which appeared black to them, and took a small sip.

"Little Li, you can’t drink that water! Spit it out now!" Hu Qing’s face changed drastically upon seeing this.

Xian Qianling held back Hu Qing, smiling as she said, "It’s okay, this guy cherishes his life. Besides other things, he owes me two, without my permission, would he dare to die?"

The mountain spring water was light to the taste, and refreshingly sweet. You turned to the village head and smiled, "The water here is indeed not bad."

"But, but the water you just drank, it did look a bit black."

"Oh, that water? Pah!" You spat on the grass nearby, and then the others noticed that the spit was as black as ink, and under their watchful eyes, it gradually dissipated in the mountain wind.

"Hmm, the flavor is a bit light; this probably isn’t the source." You ignored the astonished crowd, turned, and looked further up the mountain, asking the village head beside you, "How many sources feed this reservoir?"

"There are two."

"Is one of them related to another reservoir?"

"Mmm, yes. It’s a small pond in the mountains, split into two streams coming down. One enters this reservoir, and the other is over there."

Following the direction pointed by the village head, you said to him, "Let’s go and take a look, then we’ll know."

Continuing along the path, you soon saw another reservoir.

This time Hu Qing was the first to rush over. As soon as she looked into the reservoir, she immediately cried out, "Is this water?"

The people hurried forward and saw that the water in the reservoir was as black as ink!

You didn’t approach, but turned to look at a trickling stream, whose water was also black. Although it wasn’t as dirty as that of the reservoir, it resembled the waste water discharged from a treatment plant.

"Looks like we’re on the right track. Now let’s go check out the pond."
