"I originally wanted to take my little white out to play together, but after hearing what happened here, I came to check the situation immediately." After making up a reason, Lin Yan planned to fool him directly.

Keqing did not have any doubts about his words, so she believed her.

It is worth mentioning that after Xiaobai turned into a human form, Lin Yan never called her his pet. If you want to ask Xiaobai who is Lin Yan's now, he actually doesn't know even himself.

The daughter's words are definitely not good. It will be very strange for anyone to have such a big daughter. The servant's words are even worse. He has never regarded Xiaobai as his slave, and Youla does not allow him to do so.

My sister's words are quite appropriate, but he still feels strange, so he simply doesn't mention the title, but just talks about Xiaobai's name.

"I have heard Chiayi talk about the specific situation, so how is Mr. Keqing's progress? Have you found any useful clues?" Lin Yan asked. Keqing and the others have been investigating Qingcezhuang for many days. If they can't find clues, it means that this incident is really troublesome.

Ke Qing's answer was also the answer he was most afraid of to hear: "Oh, we have been investigating the village for three days, but we didn't find any clues, and we just had to dig three feet into the ground."

"Do you have a clue? For example, what will the source of water pollution be? Or in which direction should you investigate?"

"If we have a clue, we will definitely not get nothing like we are now."

Indeed, because there is no direction for the investigation, the investigations of Keqing and the others over the past three days are meaningless. Not to mention finding clues, they have no idea how to continue investigating. This really makes them very impressed.

No useful information was asked from Keqing's mouth, so Lin Yan did not continue to talk. Keqing, who had been busy all day, was extremely tired. Lin Yan understood this, so he let her go back to her room to rest.

Before leaving, Lin Yan handed Xiaobai over to her and asked Ke Qing to let Xiaobai sleep in her room, even if it was a floor.

Keqing asked why he did this, and Lin Yan would certainly not tell her. After fooling her for a few words, he returned to the tent prepared by Da Kun for himself.

......

The next morning, Keqing, who had only slept for less than three hours, was the first to get up and organized a new group of Qianyan troops to go to Qingcezhuang for investigation. I don’t know if this investigation will be successful.

Da Kun was selected into the team, and he woke Lin Yan up because he didn't expect Ke Qing to get up so early, so Lin Yan was still sleeping when they were about to set off.

Keqing didn't want Lin Yan to help because it was her own business, but Lin Yan said that she must participate in this investigation, so she had to agree.

Xiaobai was also taken by Lin Yan, because if she left her here alone, when she came back in the evening, Lin Yan would likely hear the news that she had eaten up all the food in Wangshu Inn.

The gain is not worth the loss, so he brought Xiaobai with him.

Walking on the way to Qingcezhuang, Lin Yan was thinking about what the source of water pollution would be.

Ke Qing and the others may not have any clues at all, but he is different. Because Li Yue is a country that has been opened in the game, he knows most of the things.

Qingcezhuang is not as lively as Liyue Port. Not to mention a game, even in reality, Qingcezhuang is easily forgotten. Lin Yan really couldn't imagine why water sources were polluted there.

If someone wants to panic Liyue, wouldn’t it be better to pollute the water sources near Liyue Port? Why do you choose Qingcezhuang, which is the elderly, weak, sick and disabled? Lin Yan can’t figure it out.

He thought about it for a long time last night, but fell asleep before he could nod. He had some ideas, but when he was woken up by Da Kun this morning, some ideas that he had finally disappeared without a trace.

This is a bit annoying. Lin Yan is very happy to fight with others, but he really doesn't know what to do if a famous detective solves a case like this.

I can only go to the village to take a look first. If I have good luck, I might find clues. If I have bad luck, they may stay for a while.

......

Qingce Village is located in the northwest of Liyue, connecting the border to the north of Liyue. It is connected to Wuwangpo that Lin Yan had visited before. It is a very remote location. Because the land is poor and most of the people living inside are elderly people, even the treasure troupes are unwilling to visit.

Lin Yan and the others came to Qingcezhuang. If they just looked at it, they would find that there was nothing strange here. But if they looked carefully, they would find that the rice in the fields had died. In this autumn harvest season, this scene seemed very strange.

And the closer you get to the place where there is water, the more you will smell a smell of smell of water in the ditch.

There is no one living in the village, and it looks a bit desolate.

Apart from these places, Lin Yan could no longer find any strange places. It is worth mentioning that the environment of Qingcezhuang was originally very suitable for small animals like squirrels to live in, but now they are not visible. It should be that the water source is contaminated.

Ke Qing and the others have already checked all possible factors before, so when they come back today, they don’t know where to start the investigation.

"Mr. Keqing, have you ever asked the old man in the village that there have been any strange phenomena in the two days before and after the water source was polluted?" Just looking at this, Lin Yan must not find the source of the matter, so he could only try to ask some useful words from Keqing's mouth.

"This is," Ke Qing replied, "They said that late at night, they would vaguely hear a low sound of a creature, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, and they didn't even know where it came from. What's more, the sound came from a place where there was water."

"We have also investigated this information, but unfortunately we can't find any clues."

This is an answer that is very helpful to Lin Yan.

The low chirping of a certain creature means that the low chirping did not come from humans, so it would be easier to deal with, because Lin Yan knew a place that was likely the source of the incident.

Zhongli mentioned to him about [Chi] before. He said [Chi] was divided into seven pieces. In addition to the fragment of Wuwangpo, there was also a piece of fragment, located in the northwest of Qingcezhuang. If Lin Yan remembered correctly, the place was next to a waterfall.

There was a complete fragment of [Chi] sealed there. Although the reason for the water source in Qingcezhuang was contaminated this time is still unclear, it should be related to [Chi]. After all, Lin Yan really couldn't think of where to investigate.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiaobai suddenly pulled his clothes and pointed in one direction and said.

"Master, I heard someone crying there, it seemed like a big sister."

Xiaobai pointed to Wuwangpo, but it was a little deviated from Wuwangpo's range.

When Lin Yan heard her words, he frowned slightly, and some of Qian Yanjun, who were relatively timid in the team, even became scared because of her words.

Because they have also heard rumors that Wuwangpo is often haunted, and the elderly in Liyuegang often say that children can see things that their adults cannot see, which makes them even more convinced that the cry that Xiaobai heard came from an evil spirit.

But Lin Yan didn't think so. He originally believed that there were ghosts in Wuwangpo, but after the last incident, he found that it was just a psychological effect of human beings. In addition, the various Wuwangpo stories circulating in Liyue Port made many people feel extremely afraid of it.

"Xiaobai, are you sure you heard it wrong?" Xiaobai couldn't lie, and she had no reason to lie, so Lin Yan chose to believe her.

"Well, I heard that right now, I can still hear her crying." Xiaobai nodded and affirmed his answer.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan looked at Ke Qing: "Sir Ke Qing, since you have no idea about investigation now, then you might as well go over and take a look."

If it were normal for things that had such a great impact, Ke Qing would definitely not believe what a child said. But as Lin Yan said, they had no idea about investigation in Qingce Village, so they could only do so.

"Then go and have a look, hopefully I won't waste too much time."

So, Xiaobai stood at the front of the team and led the way. Everyone walked all the way to the east, and finally they actually walked into Wuwangpo.

However, after walking into Wuwangpo, Xiaobai said that the sound she heard was not here, so everyone could only continue to follow.

Until the end, when Xiaobai walked out of Wuwangpo, she still did not stop.

When Xiaobai stopped, what stood in front of them was a small river that could not be walked through, and the river was connected to a lake in the distance.

Strangely, it was clear that the sky was clear just now, but the next second the weather became extremely dark, and it also started to rain.

After walking here, Lin Yan instantly understood where the source of this incident came from, but he forgot about that matter.

"That crying elder sister is right in front of me." Xiaobai pointed to the lake not far away. Everyone looked at it, but because the visibility was too low, they couldn't see clearly what was there.

It is impossible for them to walk over such a wide lake, so they can only go back and prepare a boat or bamboo raft.

Just when Ke Qing was planning to give such an order, Lin Yan suddenly said, "Since you can't get through, let Xiaobai and I go over and take a look."

If it were someone else, Ke Qing would definitely ask: [We can't get through, what can you do to get through?]

But Lin Yan is different, because Ke Qing has seen him flying in the Qunyu Pavilion with her own eyes.

"Then you go and have a look. We're waiting for you in a farther place. It's raining here. If you stay for too long, you'll get sick." Ke Qing hesitated for a while.

At this time, she could only believe Lin Yan. After all, they really had no choice. If Lin Yan could find the source of the water pollution, then he would be awarded another great merit.

"Xiaobai, let's go."

After saying that, Lin Yan activated the magic armor and turned on the water element form.

After the last battle with Ossel, the Magic Armor absorbed some of Ossel's divine power, so it obtained the water element form.

Lin Yan hasn't figured out what it is yet to fully understand, but what he knows is that the water element form can freely shuttle through the water, just like Mona's sprint in the game.

As for Xiaobai... She can change into different forms of slime by absorbing elements. After transforming into human form, this ability is also retained by her.

So she just absorbed some river water and had the ability to walk on the water surface. However, her appearance did not show any changes, which surprised Lin Yan.

After seeing this scene, Ke Qing and the Qianyan Army finally realized that Xiaobai was not as simple as it seems. The ability to absorb elemental power alone proved this.

Soon, Lin Yan and Xiaobai's figures disappeared into the mist, and Ke Qing also led the Qianyan army back for a while, and did not stop until the weather returned to a clear sky.

......

The lake surface is very quiet, and the water source here seems to be polluted. I wonder if Xiaobai's absorption of river water will have any impact. At least now, she seems to have no discomfort.

As the two continued to move forward, they soon saw a platform composed of nine stone slabs spliced ​​together not far away. The platform was large in area, and even if one hundred people were stationed at the same time, it would not be a problem.

The lake is surrounded by mountains, and there seems to be no other exit, but there are actually some, but the visibility is too low, so it is just invisible.

After seeing the platform, Lin Yan became more convinced of his inner guess. But until the two of them boarded the platform, they still seemed very calm, and they looked like nothing was there.

But Xiaobai said: "She is here, um... she seems to see us, and... she is very angry."

The next second, a vortex of water suddenly appeared on a stone slab. Before they could react, a huge figure jumped out of the vortex and appeared in front of them.

The overall appearance of the creature looks a bit like a mermaid in a fairy tale, but the upper body is not like a human, and Lin Yan doesn't know how to describe it.

He only knew that it was the boss that appeared in the game - the Pure Water Elf.

Her name is Lotia, and her hometown is Fontaine, a country ruled by the water god. She came to Liyue for some unknown reasons and became Qingce's master of water purification.

Just like her title [Qingce's Lord of Purification of Water], she is the guardian of Qingcezhuang's water source. The reason why the pure water elf is [Pure Water] is because it has the ability to purify water sources, so that flowers and plants can grow and crops can be harvested.

However, because it has the ability to purify water sources, once the water source is contaminated, it must have a direct relationship with it, such as this Qingcezhuang water source pollution incident.

Xiaobai initially said she was crying, but just said she was angry.

When she didn't see herself, Lotia was crying, which means she was sad because of something. After seeing herself, Lotia was very angry. Excluding it from hating Slime, that is, she hates humans like Lin Yan.

But why does it hate humans? Even the records of pure water elves in reality show that pure water elves never actively attack any creature unless there is a creature that actively attacks it, or there is a creature that pollutes the water source in its area.

This means that before this, other humans had come here and attacked Lotia, or polluted the surrounding water sources.

While this move angered Lotia, it also polluted all nearby water sources.
